In this initiative, Vladimir Putin hopes that friendship and cooperation with Baghdad can be preserved and expanded for the benefit of both countries.

Tsar Putin was picked up from the government strip of Baghdad International Airport by one of the Presidential Limos.

ARMED FORCES GENERAL COMMAND: 1ST BORNEAN ARMY STUMBLES UPON AND ELIMINATES LAST TERRORIST BASE IN INDONESIA, OFFICIALLY ENDING LARGE-SCALE TERRORISM IN INDONESIA [/list]

[sub]In early February 2023, after months of normal life in Indonesia following the lifting of lockdowns, a detachment of the 1st Bornean Army, while driving along a jungle dirt road towards a DIY firing range, hit what seemed to be a mine hidden in the dirt. After careful investigation, it was discovered the mine was laid fairly recently and was of the same design as Middle Eastern self-made terrorist mines. The mine blew after a military motorcycle driving at the front of the convoy triggered it on contact, but the two troops on board flew almost 50 meters into the air and landed in a tree, preventing any major injuries. The incident was reported to the 1st Bornean Army Command at the Borneo Space Center, and the battle-hardened 21st Special Division was mobilized to the rumored terrorist site. Two days later, shortly after midnight, a Kopassus special forces company located the terrorist site and eliminated AT guns and numerous patrols. At 1:14 AM, 5 Harimau tanks opened fire on the site, stunning the terrorists. Infantry and a SWAT company from Denpasar who were training with the Army breached the building and killed all terrorists inside. Almost 500 AK-47's were found, as well as several modified Toyota trucks with 30mm automatic guns on the back. The main terrorist leader was captured and executed by firing squad on the spot. The Prime Minister announced a few hours later 'First, the pandemic began falling. Now, terrorism is falling. We wish that Korea will also see the same as us soon, for to the government's belief, terrorism has been eradicated'.[/sub]

2023 Elections

Nationwide/Istanbul

Feb 2023

In Turkey elections are mandated every five years and now a new one has been called by Sultan Abdulhamid. With the controversies surround the Justice and Development Party in the past they were not counted on to keep their large amount of seats and loose their hegemony in the Parliament. This also will be a trial of Erdoganism and his radical anti-western policies. PM Akar felt quite confident that his reformed Monarchist People's Party. The Sultan has quashed attempts to interfere with the election via declaring the day a national holiday in which no one who is an essential employee would be off work and college classes would be cancelled and non registered students would be helped to register for the election and directed to their local branch handling municipal affairs to obtain their voter ID. Any voter machines will be fully inspected by members of the Sultans office and all documents regarding their function and the inspection documents made public to shut down any attempts at accusations of tampering. As for the AR's they too will be fully included in the election and other members of the Sultans office will oversee them in conjunction with the AR Presidents offices. PM Akar hoped that the election would result in more voters than the 86% of voting population. In the nation this would be the first national election since joining the EU and therefore would determine the MEPs as well so the Sultan was worried it would end up becoming just like another Turkish election and would see intimidation at the polling places. In that worry agents would be placed, acting on behalf of the Sultan, in each of the polling places preventing any voter intimidation. Therefore informing the voters would be banned within 50 metres of each polling place. PM Akar retained his seat while Erdogan was granted a seat but barred from gaining more power to avoid his past mistakes.

[list][list][pre]Referendum held in Districts and townships in the Rakhine and Chin state held[/pre][/list][/list]

(following Moroavia's canon)

[pre]As the government of Myanmar had slowly been freed from the grasp of the Tatmadaw the civil rights situation of Myanmar had never been better, the civilian government was able to do this under the protection of the IPDC but there still were problems, increasing civil rights had made the civilian population in the separatist states become much bolder than the Myanma government expected, the same for the insurgents many of whom were supplied by Bangladesh, the Arakan army received ammunition, arms and body armour under the conditions that the Arakan army and the smaller Arakan Rohingya salvation army (ARSA) not attack each other but instead fight against the Tatmadaw together, the Arakan Rohingya salvation army had grown in size over the past few years from around 600 in 2016 to 900 in 2023 as for the emboldened civilians, the richer Rohingya populace of Bangladesh who escaped from Myanmar did what they can by staging a peaceful protest near the embassy of Myanmar in February 2022, the civilian populace of the Rakhine state finally filter against the government in March 2022 at the streets of Sittwe, the capital of Rakhine state were more than 150 thousand people live, the Sittwe riots continued into May where the military was sent in, the suppression raised a lot of eyebrows from the government of Bangladesh and the IPDC, the government of Bangladesh began to pressure the Myanma government for a referendum and to stop the escalating violence a referendum was held on October in the Maungdaw, Mrauk-U, Sittwe, and Kyaukphu districts also the Paletwa township voted to join Bangladesh, the area historically has always been much more culturally close to Bangladesh, the north Arakan Muslim league in Akyab (known as Sittwe today) went as far as to request the founder of Pakistan and then-governor general Muhammad Ali Jinnah for an annexation but Jinnah refused as he could not meddle in the internal affairs of Burma, the Muslims in Burma had resorted to militancy and have been fighting until now, an overwhelming 75.83% have voted to join Bangladesh.

[/pre][/I]

THE RESULTS OF THE REFERENDUM:

Option 1 — join Bangladesh:

1,834,765 / 75.83%

Option 2 — stay in the union of Myanmar:

584,790 / 24.17%

[I][Pre]The newly gained 34,125 square kilometers of territory gained will be formed into the 9th division of Bangladesh, the new Arakan division with the current districts staying the same but the townships being turned to Upazilas, 10,000 soldiers from the 69th and 65th infantry brigades of the 24th infantry division from the Bandarban and Kaptai cantonment will be sent in to bring in much needed law and order, they will be backed up by 1,000 soldiers of the Chattogram reserve battalion of the border guards Bangladesh (BGB) they are to be commanded by Major-General Mohammad Saiful Abedin, it is reported that around 2,700 insurgents mainly from the Arakan army have given up their arms, the government of Bangladesh will be pardoning them and helping the former insurgents return to civilian life but even then the Counter Terrorism and Intelligence Bureau (CTIB) branch of the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) will continue their surveillance on the people who laid down their arms.

As for development of the region, the construction of the new Sittwe seaport will be sped up through an increase of workers and a larger budget, the minimum wage in the Arakan division shall be increased to 10,000 Bangladeshi Taka per month which is about 100 Euros and the Rohingya populace who are still in the less crowded refugee camps thanks to the Ashrayan-3 will now be given the option to go back to the Arakan division.

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin Appoints General Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov to Presidency of the SGRI; Yevkurov Makes History as First Muslim President of the SGRI

[sub]FEBRUARY 2023[/sub]

The announcement from Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was staggering and yet foreseen to happen eventually. As Vladimir Putin nears 71, the Tsar understood that he would not be able to fulfill both the SGRI Presidency and the Tsardom simultaneously anymore. With increased militarization from NATO and the EU to the West, an erratic Japan to the Far East, and recent foiled terrorist plans across the Caucasus thanks to effective national intelligence capabilities and operations, Vladimir Putin has determined that it was time that the SGRI moved onto a better course of action not just for stability and security but also representation of its internal diversity and absence of volatile discrimination against minorities that are prevalent in the Western world.

In an address to the SGRI, Vladimir Putin announced that he would be officially appointing General Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov to the position of President of the Union-State of the Russian Empire while Vladimir Putin will remain as the Tsar and take the tasks of governing important matters domestically within the realm of civil cohesion and stability while Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov will be more focused on the external matters of national security and international relations. Giving the address from the Executive Office of the President of the Union-State of Russia in the State Kremlin Palace, General Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov would appear in his military ceremonial uniform behind Vladimir Putin, who would be standing at a podium in front of the President's desk. Standing in confidence with his hands by his side, Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov basked in the moment as he makes history becoming the highest ranking Muslim in SGRI politics, the first Muslim President of the SGRI, the first minority President of the SGRI, and the youngest President of the SGRI.

After his introduction from Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who would move to the side and take a seat on his throne armchair, Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov would approach the podium to take his oath of office and offer a few remarks:

[list][pre]First and foremost, I give my honors and praise to the Most High and Most Merciful Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, God Almighty for without him, the good graces and bountiful borders of this great Union-State would not be possible. After serving in the First and Second Chechen Wars and the First and Second Kosovo Wars, I understood that in due time, the revelatory works from God would come into fruition as He always intended to have a plan for me in the way that his plan for the SGRI was brought into fruition by His Majesty Tsar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Even after serving as Head of Ingushetia, located in the Caucasus, for 11 years, I knew the continual works of service to the great people of this Union-State was not over. My inauguration is a demonstration that the SGRI embraces its diversity and promotes based on merit unlike what those in Western Europe declares otherwise. The grotesque provocations demonstrated by Western Europe and their disregard for the national sovereignty and security of the SGRI is abhorrent but it is predictable. As the second largest superpower in the world, the SGRI does not need to kowtow to any power that does not regard the interests, security, and stances of this great nation.[/pre][/list]

[list][pre]The SGRI faces many external threats and emerging threats that seek to destroy and splinter the SGRI for their own aggrandizement and pursuits to weaken our historical, cultural identities. The SGRI is the bastion of National Conservatism for a reason and that is because we stand against the crusade constructed by the Western World to monopolize the sources of power through globalization and a globalist agenda to establish a monochromatic, homogeneous global society dictated by an artificial global citizen dominated by Western moral traditions, customs, and creeds. This is not natural, normal, nor acceptable, especially to those in the SGRI. My administration shall be the manifestation of this counter-globalization; a rejection of the desires of aging Western elites and the prioritization of our spheres against all threats both foreign and domestic. As I build my cabinet, I will guarantee that only specialists and experts shall fill the senior and mid-senior levels of all departments and agencies to ensure the best policy recommendations, programs, and budgets are brought to my attention and approved. This administration is about elevating all of our people and securing the inherited histories of our forefathers and mothers that we all vow to protect for survival and prosperity. This is not news and most likely it will be dismissed by SGRI critics as being simple propaganda and just words with no action.[/pre][/list]

[list][pre]This time it is different. As I have confronted the jaws of the devil in warfare and having fully submitted myself to be an instrument to God Almighty...Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, I know that it is my job and responsibility to see to it that the SGRI is respected, honored, and its interests understood and accepted. The Kremlin cannot afford to take step backs in the face of a more aggressive enemy that only seeks to shackle the institutions and the raw authority that the SGRI wields. Western Europe has only pushed when they assumed we were asleep. The same goes for the Japanese but I say this: the SGRI is fully awake and we see your provocations. We understand your goals and we have analyzed your positions. Things shall begin to change in the realm of regional and international politics under my administration and the will of the people of the SGRI. I have never made promises; therefore, I will not start now but what I will say is that action will be taken, unity will be established, our people will be united, and the SGRI will be noticed. By all things good and created by the Most High and through the strength bestowed upon us by Tsar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the SGRI is awake, fully indivisible, omnipotent, and soon omnipresent.[/pre][/list]

With his words, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov would have the media motioned out of his office as he summoned Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov to his office. In the meanwhile, Tsar Vladimir Putin would leave the Kremlin and make his way his Imperial Dacha toward Sochi.

[sup]National Intelligence Service Narrows Perpetrators Down to Japanese Ultra-Nationalists and Republican Groups[/sup] [list]

| [sub]Preliminary investigations by the the NIS into the Seoul Bombings, which claimed the lives of 273 people and injured over 2,000 others has been pinned on republican groups and Japanese ultra-nationalists. This combined with the news that failed plot the storm Gyeongbokgung Palace was unearthed during the early stages of the investigation, the seige was meant to take place shortly after the bombings, but as Seoul ground to a halt the groups failed to make it the Palace.[/sub] |

| [sub]The Director of the NIS, Kim Sun-hee, announced that the ultra-nationalists have 'no ties to the Japanese Government what so ever' and holding the Japanese Government accountable 'would be a serious misdirection and destroy relations altogether'. The co-conspirators in the plot, a republican group, have been linked to the Republican Party who hold six seats in the National Assembly, in response all six members have been suspended from the Assembly by King Daeshim. Some in the Government have criticised the King over the move calling it 'too early' and 'heavy-handed' in approach, the King on the other hand stated 'all threats must be taken seriously'.[/sub] |

| [sub]Some in the press and academia are stating that the investigation is being 'rushed' and 'information is being too liberally released'. Kim Yo-Jong has refuted this accusation stating the investigation was perfectly in line with all investigations of this kind. The investigation is set to last for at least another month, and emergency powers to the King have been extended by another two weeks as Korea slowly returns to some sort of normality.[/sub] |

Escaping the Roundtable

14th Febuary 2023

Kalle Ryttberg sat in the basement of his home. He was down there with his wife, Lydia Ryttberg, and their young daughter, Sylvia Ryttberg. They listened to the sounds of gunfire as they tried to stay calm and protect their daughter. They've been in this warzone of a city for at least a few months.

Kalle and his wife had lived in Malmberget for most of their lives. When this whole insurrection started they tried to keep living their normal lives. When the city first started being fought over they stayed thinking that it would end soon. After a while they finally realized that the fighting wouldn't stop soon they tried to leave the city. However, the constant fighting, the SUDF destroying the roads when they retreat, and various other problems have stopped them from leaving the city for all this time. Their supplies were starting to run thin, Kalle realized that soon he will probably have to go out to get supplies again.

Eventually he received an Emergency Alert on his phone. The message read:

EMERGENCY ALERT

By order of the Swedish Armed Forces, any citizens in the cities of Gällivare and Malmberget are to head to designed outposts to evacuate the city. Citizens are advised to watch out for any areas that were recently fought in to avoid any improvised traps or IEDs left in the area.

Kalle had a sigh of relief and went to collect their wallet and any other thing they would need when they left. He told Lydia and Sylvia to prepare for them to leave. After they got prepared they left for them only to see the town they loved in even more ruin than before. Bullet holes covered the walls of many buildings while sandbags and improvised barricades filled the streets. After a while they finally reached a nearby evacuation center. Some of the soldiers there gave them some bread and water as they were ordered onto some military trucks.

Kalle and his family got onto one of them, they could finally relax and leave this warzone. Kalle kissed Lydia as the truck started to move. As the truck drove he thought of what they will do once they leave and what their future was. He did not get long to think about it though, as before they could even realize it their lives were over. They only had enough time to hear the sound of a mortar firing from far away.

A Cold War, Literally

Norrbottens län

Feb 2023

With permission from the Swedish government and military, PM Akar had been authorised to send troops into Sweden to help them combat their rebel faction. The PM will send 5,000 troops to fight the combatants and help train local Swedes, Meänkieli, and Sami peoples who are loyal to the government. Akar also was notified by the Smyrna AR that they can send an additional 3,000 to assist, now totalling 8,000. To avoid cultural conflicts, all troops sent will be of Protestant background and be able to speak english fluently. He had ordered 10 C-130s to be prepped to deliver the troops, supplies, and winterised vehicles to the region. He would be bringing in troops trained in cold and winter weather and will outfit them in new winter weather gear. As for supplies everything necessary to fight in cold weather including reusable collapsable bivouacs, fire starting kits, and wool sweaters for wear underneath the white camo gear. The troops will be using vehicles (which will be included in a list below, all winterised with treads replacing wheels when needed.)

The 5K were given a goal to reach and secure the following four towns: Overtorneå, Tärendö, Kvikkjokk, and Slagnäs, when each one is approached some troops will stay behind to help fortify it and begin the training of the locals. Since this war may be asymmetrical and guerilla style anti mine and anti IED measures will be taken as reported by the local news as having been used in multiple occasions. Bomb finding robots will be used and winterised as well. Akar also will send a message to the Finnish govt Victoria Harbor to reassure them that no Turkish agent will enter 5km from their border and will provide weekly updates to Helsinki and Stockholm of major movements as well. This also will be an opportunity for the Turkish to learn more about the Nordic way of life and culture and if requested by the 5000, Turkey will ask the Nordic nations to invest in cultural centres in Turkey to promote Nordicism. Another precaution laid out would be the preservation of the local environment if at all possible to avoid causing collateral damage. The battlegroup will also collaborate with the Swedish Army and follow their commands, that being said the leader of the battlegroup will send a representative to the Ministry of Defence HQ in Stockholm to keep communications with the Swedish open and transparent. Sultan Abdulhamid would like to visit with King Carl XVI Gustaf someday.Akar hopes to be able to end the fighting in Lappland and help Sweden restore order to the nation.

| AISHA'S TOUR |

| Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, SRGI |

[sub]7th of February, 2023[/sub]

| The outskirts of Ashgabat were filled with thousands of fans as a large crystal ball was shining with lights. The ball would shoot out bright colours into the sky as it slowly turned around. After a while the colours would begin to grow bigger in light and intensity and music would come on with the fans cheering out. The ball would suddenly burst, shattering thousands of pieces of confetti and colour onto the audiences as Aisha, wearing a long pink gown would float down onto the stage amidst pink flames singing her iconic song from her 1989 album ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pxQIJHdEsk ). As she appeared onto the stage and finished her song, the flames would dissolve and the fans went into craze. Stepping forward, she would give her opening introduction before running off the stage as the lights went off.

As the acrobats appeared all around, dancing amidst growing flames that encircled the stage, Aisha would suddenly rise up from beneath the stage as music to her song from her 2018 album came on ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uouTUmdUJP8 ). Singing in Farsi, Aisha would be wearing a golden catsuit that would have holograms of burning flames on it, she would bring the audience into a frenzy. As she continued to go through her songs, it came time to reveal a different outfit. As the acrobats appeared again, they were joined by large metallic flying birds that would release flames into the air above the audience. Aisha, would suddenly appear on a large metallic horse wearing a red latex gown as she sang her song from her 1992 album ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M90ieoNwWmY ).

After a while of singing, she would dissolve into the fog as alien like creatures began to appear all around and dance around as music came on. After a while, strange laser lights began to appear as a large glowing half-moon began to appear above the stage with Aisha sitting on it wearing a white crop-top, white slim tight jeans and white high heels with her hair flowing in the air. As the laser lights continued and she touched the stage, she would begin to sing her song from her newest album, 90s Lover ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV8Wmx1_XJ4 ) before joining her dancers in the routine. As she was finishing up her song, she would find herself floating around with her dancers amidst a growing fog beneath her feet. The audience would go wild and after a moment, the lights would go out and the fans screamed for more with Aisha's laughter being heard. |

[spoiler="Aisha's 1989 Album, Daylight Love became the highest grossing album of the time in Iran. By 2000, the album has sold over 20.4 million copies, won three golden music awards and has been named the most popular album of 1989."]

[sub]| PRINCE'S PALACE, MINISTÈRE L'ÉTAT - | With the arrival of French President Emmanuel Macron at the Prince's Palace in Monaco-Ville, the Crown Council would convene behind closed doors with Minister of State Pierre Dartout leading the discussion. The Crown Council was tasked with the ultimate decision of choosing the next monarch of the principality. With virtually no viable heirs in sight, the Council would begin taking nominations for those most suited and morally sufficient to hold the title of Prince of Monaco...| [/sub]

[sub]| Minister Dartout | "Bonjour ladies and gentlemen. We gather here in remembrance of those members of the royal family we have lost this past year and perform our duty of selecting a deserving and adequate person to wear the crown of this great principality. In observance we have President Emmanuel Macron. We will begin our debate by accepting nominations and explanations regarding each nominee. Mr. Michel Boeri, we will begin with you and work around the table."[/sub]

[sub]| Mr. Michel Boeri | "Merci Mr. Dartout. I would like to cast a nomination for the Duke of Anjou Louis Alphonse de Bourbon as he is the legitimist pretender to the French throne and thereby carries royal blood in his veins as well as close inherent ties to France and relations to other royal families in Europe."[/sub]

[sub]| Mr. André Garino | "I cast my nomination for Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy for many of the same reasons as my counterpart however my nominee has closer ties to Italy and the royal family of the House of Savoy."[/sub]

[sub]| Ms. Guy Magnan | "I nominate the President of the French Republic on the basis of having an elected monarch with ties to the French government. A system similar to that of Andorra. It only makes sense with the amount of political influence and military protection afforded to us by France."[/sub]

[sub]| Mr. Henri Rey | "I would like to second Ms. Magnan's nomination on the same grounds."[/sub]

[sub]| Mr. Alain Sangiorgio | "I would like to nominate Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy as well based on the same points made by Mr. Garino and Monaco's cultural ties with Italy."[/sub]

[sub]| Ms. Patricia Husson | "I also nominate the President of the French Republic on the basis of having an elected monarch and heavily encourage my counterparts here to consider the idea of it."[/sub]

[sub]| Mr. Claude Cellario | "I believe it is in the best interests of the Principality of Monaco, the Monégasque people, and our own government that we maintain and aim to strengthen our ties with France and the government of the Vth Republic. Our cultural, historical, economic, and military ties are stronger with no one else other than France. Therefor I nominate the President of the French Republic!"[/sub]

[sub]| Minister Dartout | "Very well ladies and gentlemen. I count one nomination for Louis Alphonse de Bourbon. Three nominations for the President of the French Republic on ground of establishing an elective monarchy. And two nominations for Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy. These nominations will be presented to the National Council for further consideration and brought to a vote within the hour, thank you."[/sub]

I present the vote tally to select the next Prince of Monaco as follows....5 votes for Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, 8 votes for Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, and 11 votes for the President of the French Republic! With the National Council having spoken on behalf of it's constituents, we hereby establish a new precedent of adopting the President of the French Republic as our elected monarch on a similar basis to that of Andorra. The current and incumbent office holder of the Presidency of the French Republic Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron is officially appointed to the offices and position of the Sovereign Prince of Monaco and will be afforded those titles, compensation, and luxuries given to His Serene Highness until his tenure has concluded, upon which he will continue to receive monetary compensation and the honorific title of Prince Emeritus until death.

MANDRAKE’S DEMISE: THE CONSPIRACY

January 2023

[list]Since the return of Mandrake to power, many nefarious forces assembled to prepare his demise, once and for all. It started with corrupting officials, gathering intel, causing dismay in the medias. Their support was very popular among young people who desire change and it helped the conspirators to integrate the paramilitary forces and some military branches, which lead to their biggest action: the large scale hoax in Paraguay and the convincing of some foreign reporters to report on so-called mass scale war crimes happening here. But, the reality was different: the village had many supporters of the Conspiracy, especially against Mandrake who they view as the one who partitioned Paraguay. The truth about the war crimes and mutilations were different: most of the disabled were consequences of the 2012 war against the invading Brazil or work accidents. This giant hoax was meant to put strike down Mandrake with a crisis about war crimes happening in his occupation of Paraguay. Moreover, the foreign scrutiny would add to the local outrage when the situation would be known. Even the final pursuit was a big hoax to convince even more the Bangladeshi reporters they had escaped from a hair, adding authenticity to the story. After this extraordinary hoax, the leadership of the Conspiracy were meeting, preparing their next action to finish off the rule of Lionel Mandrake.[/list]

***

In a dark alleyway of Asuncion in the poor neighborhood, a hooded figure enters the backdoor of an abandoned building. Once inside, he sees other members of the Conspiracy. He recognizes each one of them and unhoods himself. He is the leader of this Conspiracy, but also a high ranking official in the government of Mandrake. He was Secretary Director Parrilli, the leader of the SIDE, the intelligence service of La Plata.

[list]|Secretary Director Parrilli (Leader of the SIDE/intelligence service)| "Good night my friends. Please have a seat everyone, because tonight we will decide what final action we will take to strike down the Eagle."[/list]

Everyone took a seat. There was Oviedo Britez, the leader of the fallen Paraguayan People’s Army (EPP). There was also Camara Saltuz, a young female, officer among in the Mandrakist Youths. There was also Enrique Venturino, the heir of the fallen Triumph Party of Alejandro Biondini. Finally, Martin Sorbolov, a Russian-descent man who was adept to Russia’s current form of conservatism: national-conservatism. They were accompanied with liaison officers with local cells of the resistance around La Plata. Everyone present had their reasons to strike down Mandrake and his Party.

[list]|Secretary Director Parrilli| "Before we start, I’d like my closest partners to tell us, around this table, why they are part of this project to free our nations from the dictator. I’ll start myself: I am in this project because I fear the path Mandrake is taking with our ever growing presence around the world, opening our borders to foreign threats, antagonizing Russia, going too deep with the partnership with the sneaky China and his constant militarization of our society."[/list]

[list]|Oviedo Britez, leader of the EPP| "I want Mandrake either dismissed or dead. Free Paraguay once and for all! Alternatively, he did try to kill me with his suppression of our fight for freedom and I thank our leader, Mr Parrilli, who saved me from being a POW."[/list]

[list]|Camara Saltuz (Mandrakist Youth Officer)| "Mandrake has to leave. We need new blood at the head of our government. My generation, through his policies, will have to sacrifice our lives in the military if we want a real future and a good job later. His Mandrakist Youth are just indoctrinating personal militias. It has to end!"[/list]

[list]|Enrique Venturino (Heir of the Triumph Party)| "Mandrake and his utopia have to both end. Our nations were never meant to be united and that is proven through our independence movements against Spain and the Viceroyalty. His collusion with the British, ceding them the Islas Malvinas, his constant pollution of our society with massive immigration and deviant laws on abortion and transgenderism… truly disgusting! He jailed my long term friend, Alejandro Biondini, breaking his own democratic laws… His corruption has to end."[/list]

[list]|Martin Sorbolov (National-Conservatism adept)| "Mandrake is a traitor to us. His flawed ideology is just breaking the social order. He sides with the US, knowing they did help with the Fascist dictatorships that tortured him personally. He is a fascist himself and he is not one of us. We have to be more neutral and take example on the SGRI, which thrives under the good leadership of Putin, defying the US and NATO everyday without real consequences. We have to come back to our more conservative roots and restore social order by siding with the new powers of the world."[/list]

Parrilli looked satisfied after the last intervention

[list]|Secretary Director Parrilli| "See, my friends, we have achieved what Mandrake boasts he did every day: we are united despite our differences under one common goal: destroying the rule of Mandrake. We come from such different horizons, yet we are all here, united against the same threat."[/list]

He took a moment, looking dead in the eyes of each of his co-conspirators, then continued.

[list]|Secretary Director Parrilli| "Now, the foundations of his rule are shaken and shattered. What should we do to cut the head of the snake?"[/list]

[list]|Martin Sorbolov (National-Conservatism adept) | "I thought about it for a long time and spoke with other members here and we all agreed on what I’m going to propose. I know it won’t please you because you have certain morals and you want to follow the system and strike down Mandrake legally. But, you are the only one here who didn’t suffer the failure of his so-called democracy. You didn’t suffer your nation annexed, your party banned, your youth stolen, your kin demonized. This is why we… we want Mandrake DEAD."[/list]

Parrilli failed for a moment to hide his surprise but rapidly took control of his emotions. For the first time, he felt he was losing control on his project.

[list]|Secretary Director Parrilli| "I… I guess you are right. I didn’t suffer the same failures of the system when I’m myself part of this system. I wanted to win both hearts of the population and have Mandrake fall without honor left for him to return of for any successor to return at least… I never thought much about more brutal ways to reach our goal because I fear it might make Mandrake a martyr and if we miss our shot…"[/list]

Parrilli stopped for a moment. Everyone knew what they risked if they went with the more radical way and especially if they fail. But, the risk was worth it for every members as they had nothing much to lose at this point. They were all too deep in the plot against Mandrake and the previous schemes to fear anything worst than what awaits them if they fail.

[list]|Secretary Director Parrilli| "Then be it. We will execute Mandrake. Once dead, he will be no more threat to the future of our nation. To our future. But, I want to make sure he will be the only casualty in all this. Never forget he’s the main target and the leader of all that movement."[/list]

Everyone agreed and the group put the foundations of their plan to kill Lionel Mandrake in the following months and how to act following the consequences of the fall of Mandrake. At the end, Parrilli thanked everybody, gave a toast for their success and left to return to Buenos Aires quickly. The rest of the group waited before parting their ways.

[list]|Camara Saltuz (Mandrakist Youth Officer)| "I know we said we wouldn’t touch anyone else, but this whole system has to fall and everyone representing it has to fall too. My implication in the Mandrakist Youths allow me to approach nearly everybody in the high sphere of the power. I’m just letting you know, what should we do?"[/list]

[list]|Martin Sorbolov (National-Conservatism adept)| "Well, that bitch of his, Michelle Mandrake, she has to go. Her depraved ways have to stop. I want her dead so she can’t continue spewing her social-justice bullsh*t."[/list]

[list]|Enrique Venturino (Heir of the Triumph Party)| "His one-armed little dog, Daniel Scioli, his so-called Minister of Corporations… He has to die too, he’s next in the line of succession and is the ultimate representation of his ideology."[/list]

[list]|Oviedo Britez, leader of the EPP| "More than anything after killing Mandrake, I want that son of a bitch General Starris to die! He found us on the terrain and he’s the main reason my wife was killed in one of his attacks. I want to kill him from my bare hands!."[/list]

They all agreed to this plan. They were parting ways when Camara told them their last target: Parrilli.

[list]|Camara Saltuz (Mandrakist Youth Officer)| "Parrilli has to die too. He represents that system and he’s not one of us. He wants power and he represent the old guard that has to fall. Let’s clean fully the government from such scum, especially his coward a** of his."[/list]

Everyone left, knowing what they had to do. The end of Mandrake was close. A new era was coming.

MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR: PARIS PREPARES FOR COMPLETION OF HERMITAGE PLAZA

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2023 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE L’INTÉRIEUR - | Construction of the ongoing Hermitage Plaza I and II complex started in early 2021 with original plans for completion sometime around 2024. Since BPI Banque publique d'investissement took over the contracts and boosted the construction efforts, pouring in another €4 billion euros on top of the already €1 billion euros spent, we can expect both towers to be completed by mid 2023. The Hermitage Plaza towers located directly in front of the Tour First tower and just down the main road from the iconic Tour Hekla tower in the La Défense business district will stand at 1,060 ft tall or 323 meters, making them two of the tallest buildings in the European Union. Hermitage Plaza will bring together programs of luxury serviced apartments, a 5-Star palace hotel, class-A offices, high-end retail, and a public and entertainment space. With the towers quickly nearing completion, BPI has moved onto the more complicated Tour Signal and Tour Triangle towers while allocating up to €1.8 billion euros for both projects. It is quite clear that if you look to the North, the Paris skyline is no longer dominated by the Eiffel Tower. | [/sub]

SPANISH NATIONAL WEALTH FUND

FEBRUARY 2023

Spanish Parliament today signed into law an initiative by Prime Minister Ortega to grow the Nations Financial Reserves in the long term, taking inspiration from the Australian Future Fund which had grown 50 Billion into 168 Billion from 2008 to 2020. Though the Future Fund is not the only successful example of a Sovereign Wealth fund, while it may be one of the largest there are many that are much bigger in size. The Qatar Investment Authority manages just over 340 Billion, and the China Investment Corporation over 1 Trillion in total assets. The precise Investment Fund approved by the Parliament was 220 Billion USD in size, to be funded by a combination of Government Bonds and borrowing from the Spanish Central Bank against the Gold Reserves of the Country (of which it possesses 14.5 Billion USD in value).

Regulations were part of the Bill to ensure long-term stability and profitability. These regulations dictate that the fund cannot have withdrawals occur which would put it at less than 20% of the national GDP (291 Billion), and that until it reaches that amount all proceeds shall be compounded on top of the fund. Once the threshold is reached, 40% of the proceeds shall be transferred to the National Government as discretionary and temporary funding, the remaining 60% shall be reinvested (to allow for potential withdrawals later on). The fund shall be independently run to prevent corruption from government officials, and regulations dictate that the fund may not invest more than 10% of its value in any given country, Spain included. This is to spread out risk and prevent large scale downturns due to national troubles.

Based on calculations and forecasts by the Spanish Ministry of Finance, if the National Wealth Fund can achieve 6% of growth per annum (which is realistic for an investment fund) it would be able to grow to just over 700 Billion by 2043 with the given 60% of compounding interest. This is assuming however that the Government does not pay into the fund, which it has however stated it shall do with a 1.5 Billion annual injection of funds mainly sourced from the oil sector of Spanish Guinea. This would raise the estimated sum in 2043 at 760 Billion USD in accumulated Assets.

The following Graph details projected growth of the National Wealth Fund, with Dark blue indicating the initial investment amount, Navy blue the annual injections, and light blue the accumulated winnings/interest : https://i.imgur.com/6IyhEFR.png

| NADA AL-UHMABI VS KOBRINA NOURI |

[sub]27th of February, 2023[/sub]

| Currently the Commonwealths of Iran have very specific yet major powers at their disposal, with only the power over foreign affairs, military and economics out of their control. Recently, Prime Minister Nouri announced that she will seek to curb certain powers from commonwealths which had instantly triggered a response from the Prime Minister of Persian Gulf States, Nada Al-Uhmabi who accused Mrs Nouri of trying to destroy the democratic process the commonwealths operate by and the compromise of 1978. The compromise of 1978 had given all Persian Gulf States large devolved powers which have been granted to them after they re-joined in 2016.

Soon after, Mrs Al-Uhmabi through the Arab Youth Movement within the National Parliament, proposed the Persian Gulf Liberation Act which would grant the Persian Gulf States a special status of the Persian Gulf Republic, grant the PGU ability to govern it's own economy and foreign affairs but remain linked to Iran through military and an alliance. Of course the Act failed in the first vote but the message sent was clear, we're ready to fight should we be provoked to do so. It's very important to note, however, that the two opposing sides are led by two very similar leaders.

Mrs Kobrina Nouri is a leader that follows strict Beninism rules, militarism and is at core an Iranian-Liberal. Her idea of leadership is based on conviction, strength and charm. Mrs Nouri has made it clear several times that she will not allow any referendums for independence, and that her ultimate goal is to curb the powers of commonwealths to a more centralised power. On the other hand, Mrs Nada Al-Uhmabi is a leader that follows Persian Gulf Arabism*, pro-democratic leadership and secularism. Her idea of leadership is, like Nouri's, based on conviction, strength and charm. Al-Uhmabi made it clear in her last campaign that she will aim for another independence referendum should her terms not be met. Al-Uhmabi leads the Persian Gulf Commonwealth since 2019, for the past four years and has won the last elections with a majority.

The major confrontation has, however, took a major turn when on 26th of February, Prime Minister Nouri announced that she will construct a new military base in the Arab Persian State whilst her proposed act has moved onto the second vote after a narrow pass in the first vote. In very quick response, Prime Minister Al-Uhmabi openly attacked Nouri in her conference and had rallied the Arab Youth Movement to step onto the streets to protest against a new military base.

[list][ Prime Minister of Persian Gulf States, Nada Al-Uhmabi ]: "We do not need another Persian military base on our territory. We are protected as it is, and I view the latest actions of Prime Minister Nouri as provocative and absurd-like. We will not allow our powers to be taken away from us and I urge other Commonwealths to unite with us in that matter. We cannot and will not be ruled directly from Tehran as they do not understand our problems as well as we do, and that is simple as that. Mrs Nouri needs to reevaluate her recent actions."[/list]

The Western-Iranian Commonwealth, the Azerbaijani Commonwealth, the Eastern Commonwealth and the Caspian Sea Commonwealth leaderships have also responded positively to the appeal of Al-Uhmabi, sending a sign to Mrs Nouri. Some experts predict that the recent tensions between Nouri and Al-Uhmabi are due to Nouri testing her grounds as to how far she could curb the powers of the Commonwealths. However, other political observers are suggesting that in fact Nouri is starting an internal campaign to take down Al-Uhmabi. "...Nouri is a Shia Muslim, Al-Uhmabi is a Sunni Arab Muslim...they both fight for very different causes, but the issue is that both are wanting to be the powerful Muslim leaders of Iran...Al-Uhmabi held that title until Nouri came along, and Nouri is determined to become the sole source of power within Iran...Al-Uhmabi is a very big obstacle that in her eyes has to be destroyed..." On the other hand, according to Arab-Iranian Politics Expert, Shahram Reza the situation is on the contrary "...it's not Nouri that is trying to bring Al-Uhmabi down, it's Al-Uhmabi that is trying to destroy Nouri...Al-Uhmabi was the most powerful Muslim Arab politican of the country, now she's just the most powerful Arab leader...Nouri's appearance on the stage gives many Muslims within the country the ability to focus on a strong leader and not be mixed in the Arab cause or issues, like Al-Uhmabi tries to do...in my view Al-Uhmabi will do all she can to bring Nouri down..."

Whatever may the be case, it's clear that this is only the start of a conflict between the most powerful Muslims of Iran and the Middle East.

*Persian Gulf Arabism - A democratic, secular Arab leadership of the Persian Gulf States. Anti-Imperialistic, Anti-Pan Arabist, Anti-Islamic-Democracy, Anti-Monarchy. |

[spoiler="Nada Al-Uhmabi is the most powerful Arab within Iran and one of the most influential leaders of the Arab world...her dedication to the Persian Gulf cause and yet independent like thinking from other Arabs puts her as a very interesting figure in the politics world..."]

President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov Announces Alzarikstan-Rutannia IFV Military Agreement Completion; Declares Eurasia Safe & Secure

[sub]FEBRUARY 2023[/sub]

SGRI President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov has announced that the Kingdom of Rutannia and the Union-State of Alzarikstan has entrenched their security cooperations and coordination with a recent arms agreement that would see the SGRI obtaining ownership of the K21 IFV program while Korea will receive the Kurganets-25 IFV program in good faith. In this agreement, both countries have agreed to an understanding that the production, technology, and blueprints will not be provided or given to other countries. With the arms agreement, both Korea and the SGRI possess two of the more modern IFV systems in the world and furthermore, with the intentions of combining both technologies to better advance and modernize SGRI IFVs and APCs alike, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov has decreed that the relationship and understanding between Seoul and Moscow have become stronger in coordination and transparency.

With the SGRI military facility continuing on schedule with its construction, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov would immediately order for the construction of K21 IFVs and the K21-105 light tank, which will receive battle experience in the ongoing insurgency in Afghanistan against the Taliban. With the acquiring of the new technology and weapon system programs, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov has placed further emphasis on the security of the Caucasus primarily from Turkey, Central Asia from China, and Serbia and Montenegro from Austria-Hungary.

COVERT OPERATION: EXPANSION OF THE KADYROVTSY

To ensure security and compliance in the predominantly Muslim regions of the SGRI, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov has approved for the legitimization and enlargement of the Kadyrovtsy, which refers to a Chechen Islamic based paramilitary organization loyal to the Kremlin since the Second Chechen War. As the Cossacks of St. Nicholas II refers to the Orthodox paramilitary utilized by the Kremlin, the Kadyrovtsy will be utilized for the same reasons and operations but for more specific operations in the Muslim World.

President Yevkurov has determined to expand Kadyrovtsy recruitment, training, and armament facilities throughout the Caucasus but also in all Republics of Central Asia and Afghanistan in addition to El Jadida and southern Serbia. With a new office in the Kremlin alongside the Cossack Brigades, Kadyrovtsy has been determined to become another security arm of the SGRI to further achieve its objectives of solidifying Northern Eurasia and the Eurasian Plain as the proper sphere of influence.

[list]SCHEFFNER TO MODERNISE A GERMAN FLEET OUTDATED AND BORED - BUT WHERE TO GET THE MONEY[/list]

HAMBURG - It was a winter breeze that welcomed the Chancellor in Hamburg Haffen. The two time commander of the German forces (2015 Sorbian war-2018 Yugoslav war) was said to be shocked by the pitiful state of the German navy.

According to several reports, one of which from the Admiralty of Rostock, it already informed in 2021 the following

[list][list]

The German Submarine capacity is at critical levels [•••] out of 18 submarines, only 4 are completely operational (...) others have suffered major accidents or problems in maintenance due to their age and the lack of funds the Bundesmarine is able to allocate for this type of problem

(...)

We strongly suggest an immediate program of overhaul of the German naval capacity in order to strengthen our presence in Europe and worldwide.

[/list][/list]

But there is a huge problem. The Chad conflict and the modernisation of the Luftwaffe and Heer is already costing a lot of money. The Scheffner Government invested heavily in the Eurofighter II and Europanzer project. Between 2015 and 2023, the German navy lost 19% of its budget, which in turn reduced the maintenance of its fleet.

In the High Military Council of 2022, the Minister of Finance, Uwe Boschmann, reported that the German Government could not afford a complete overhaul immediately and would need more money somehow or engage into more debt. Something that would not be appreciated by the German electors and certainly not the ECB.

The Chancellor is divided between an investment that may well exceed 1.2 billion euros of debt or allocate funds by cutting somewhere else. Either way, the German Government is in a tense situation.

However, the war between army branches is not over. The Luftwaffe refuses to leave funds for the Marine, and the Heer says it is not done modernising and that cutting its funds would mean an incomplete modernisation of its power that it desperately needs.

Meanwhile, the conflict in Chad keeps getting more and more complicated but with a possible exit of operations by december 2024. The Chad war still costs, according to some rumors, the total of 1.3 million euros per day...

RECOGNITION OF THE KAFALA ?

The immigration of muslims in Germany has raised over the past few years the delicate question of muslim practice called the Kafala.

The kafala (ar) كَفَّلَ is a specific adoption procedure in islam in which a child is adopted by another family than of its own biological one and raised as if being the true child of the adopting family (the Kafil). However, the adopted child will not have the same rights as the biological ones despite being in the same family. The adopted child keeps its biological last name. The Kafala does not create new family links unlike adoption.

In essence, Coran does not allow plenary adoption (the child loses all biological ties) and only partial adoption with severe rules. This prohibition is, according to German Islam experts, related to the life of the Prophet. Therefore, the Kafala is not in a western point of view, adoption.

In Germany, the difference between Kafala (islamic adoption) and adoption is becoming unbearable in a land where bureaucracy is everywhere.

So what to do when families want their Kafala recognised in Germany to have its effects imposed on the German administration ? For now the answer is to consider that there is no adoption.

But many muslims in Germany feel this as a form of discrimination. The Scheffner Government disagrees heavily. And so does the Minister of Family Anna Schoemberg. "The Kafala as a practice of Coran Law, cannot be recognised as adoption in Germany. We will not move from this position. If they want the Kafala recognised, they can go through legal adoption procedures which are cleaning explained in the Familiensgesetzbuch"

Islamic Salvation Front Bombs Basra

Basra, Republic of Iraq

[sub][list]November 15- 8 Chadian men are admitted to the country from Basra International Airport.

November 17- 6 Chadian men are admitted to the country from Mosul International Airport.

November 22- 7 Chadian men are arrested at Baghdad International Airport for falsified passports, detained, and deported back to Chad. Watchlist paperwork is filed to the Interior Ministry and promptly ignored.

December 26- Three Mosul Policemen and 6 suspects are killed during a raid. Weapons and explosives are found but no connection to the ISF is announced.

January 2- One National Policeman and 4 suspects are killed in a shootout at a checkpoint outside Basra. Attackers are later identified as smugglers, though the purpose of the attack is unknown.

January 13- 12 Population Mobilization Forces Militiamen are arrested for planning to bomb a Christian Church in Basra.

February 2- The Federal Investigations Directorate opens an investigation into the Islamic Salvation Front (Osivoiii) and their activities in Iraq.[/sub][/list]

February 11

Basra was a busy city. Home to over 2 million people, the city was carved out on the Shatt al-Arab waterway, intersection of the Tigris and Euphrates. Next to Baghdad, it was the other economic center of Iraq, acting as its only major port and taking in much of Iraq’s imports. The city's crowded shopping districts were no strangers to undirected traffic.

[sub][list]10:33 AM- One among many, a rusted van trudges down the busy city street, and is parked on a corner.

1:44 PM- A tow crew arrives to remove the van, and contacts police upon finding suspicious bags in the cabin.

2:04 PM- 4 Police officers arrive and confirm the bags. National Police are contacted and an EOD team is dispatched. Due to the density of traffic the area is not cleared.

2:22- Before the EOD team arrives, the van detonates. Two-thirds of the block is instantly consumed in flame.[/sub][/list]

The detonation of the car bomb rocked Basra. First responders were overwhelmed by the scale of the damage, leading to EMTs and police from surrounding districts being brought in. 32 deaths were reported immediately, and in the following 24 hours, 17 more would succumb to injuries. Over a hundred others would sustain injuries of various seriousness. Several homes were either destroyed or significantly damaged. The blast shattered windows for nearly a mile and the smoke plume was visible from anywhere in the city. A national outpouring of support followed, with the hashtag #BasraSolidarity circulating social media.

National Police and FID investigators were immediately brought in and the surrounding area was cordoned. Two days after the attack, the Ministry of Interior confirmed the bombing as an act of terror. Via social media accounts, the Islamic Salvation front took responsibility for the attack. The claim spread like wildfire through social media, and mainstream Iraqi news. Islamic-motivated violence has never been prominent in the middle east, and the activities of the ISF in Chad had been regarded as little more than a regional oddity by most Iraqi’s. Under mounting public pressure, Prime Minister Zahir Khalil made the following statement:

“What happened in our proud city of Basra is a tragedy in every regard. The Interior Ministry, including the National Police, Intelligence Directorate, and Investigations Directorate, have been working tirelessly to catch the perpetrators. Today, we can say with confidence that the Islamic Salvation Front is responsible for this attack. My administration and this country will not tolerate terrorism or religious violence of any kind. The ISF will be driven from this country permanently. The Interior Ministry will be working closely with MECO anti-terror investigators to apprehend the perpetrators. Iraq will be protected.”

NATIONAL PARLIAMENT PASSES 'EQUAL INCOME BILL' 72-18, STARTING A NOVEL ANTI-POVERTY PROGRAM [/list]

[sub]Earlier this afternoon in late February 2023, the National Parliament passed the Equal Income Bill 72-18, which was drafted by the Progress Party. The Equal Income Bill states that the government shall form the National Anti-Poverty Commission, invest no less than $1 billion to support families devastated by poverty, and create more than 50,000 jobs exclusively for impoverished Indonesian citizens. The bill plans to reduce impoverished families down to only 2% of the population by 2035. The bill also introduced a $10 minimum wage law, making all companies offer a minimum wage of $15 per hour to support working families better. The Indonesian Special Foods Commission will also be formed to organize and donate essential supplies to impoverished communities. Scam jobs (ex. Job offered in newspaper when there is no open position) have also been prohibited and any offenders will be fined up to $1,000 each. Another part of the Equal Income Bill is the 2023 Donation Clause, which asks the Indonesian Special Foods Commission (ISFC) to raise up to $100 million and use the funds to donate mass amounts of food to poor populations over the course of 2023. Puan Maharani said at the passage of the bill 'we can and we must eliminate poverty for that is what limits the progress of this nation'. The Equal Income Bill is the first law to be drafted by the Progress Party that passed since 2018 as most Progress Party bills involved rapid militarization of the country. [/sub]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | As a result of the rebellion occurring in Saudi Arabia, the French Government has opted to seize Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman's luxury estate dubbed Château Louis XIV which located just outside Paris. While the prince reportedly spent over $300 million USD to purchase the property in 2015, no one has officially ever lived in the residence. The French Government however did not just confiscate the property. With President Macron's approval the sum of $300 million USD was in fact wired to the Saudi Government for uses that include aid to civilians affected by the rebel groups, insurance payouts to companies affected, and compensation to Saudi military families that have lost a loved one or saw their loved one return home with significant injuries. The French Government has opted to utilize the Château Louis XIV as a potential retreat for the French President but for the time being serves as a new headquarters for the En Marche! political movement which rents the palatial residence for €500,000 euros monthly. | [/sub]

| Demonstrations in Montreal and Quebec City call for a return of sports |[/list][/list]

MONTREAL -- Citing concerns for mental health, a large growd gathered in the streets of Quebec City on Sunday to demand the resumption of organized sports in the country.

Many participants wore their sports teams' jerseys over their coats. For many, those jerseys have been in the closet since Premier Francois Legault put organized sports on hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The crowd was primarily made up of young people who had been affected by the ban on engaging in their chosen sports.

Isaac Pepin, a secondary five student and football player from the Quebec City region, was the event's organizer.

“I'm really happy to see that there are so many people getting involved in the cause, asking for the revival of sports. It's really incredible,” he said.

The 16-year-old student at Seminaire St-Francois had written to Legault to remind him of the importance of sports to young people and asked for a meeting with Education Minister Yves Bolduc.

Discussions are continuing between Minister of Education Yves Bolduc and sports federations with the aim of presenting a plan for the progressive deconfinement of sports next week.

Parti Quebecois critic for sports Meganne Perry Melancon was present for the march. She said that young people don't know when they can return to sports has had “a huge impact” on their health.

“They are more depressed and we see the rates of drug and alcoholic consumption have increased among young people,” she said.

Participants were asked to bring sporting items they no longer use to the march, which will be donated to the Quebec Student Sport Network.

The Office of the Premier and the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports did not comment on the situation.

The demonstrations remained peaceful and there are no reports of arrests, property damage, or injury.

President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov Increases Investments into Novorossiya Substantially

[sub]MARCH 2023[/sub]

Seizing the opportunity to expand development within the Caucasus and Central Asia to the Western front of the SGRI, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov has approved an addition to the SGRI budget to increase investments in strategic infrastructure, industrialization, energy modernization, and cultural rejuvenation projects in Novorossiya, prioritizing the Donbas region in particular. Since 2016, Novorossiya has increased in importance not just for military strategic operations and positioning against encroaching EU/NATO forces but also for energy, industrial goods, and maritime shipping/trading.

The Donbas in particular is extremely important to Ukraine. "Donbas is the heart of Ukraine" read signs on the outskirts of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine. This is true, at least economically: The coalfield, which extends across the east to Russian territory, is the fourth-largest in Europe, with extractable reserves estimated at over 10 billion tons. The region around the city of Donetsk makes up only 5 percent of Ukraine's territory. About 10 percent of the population lives here - but they produce 20 percent of gross domestic product and about a quarter of Ukraine's export volume. The rest of the country is dominated by agriculture. With this solely in the possession of Novorossiya, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov released an executive order to mobilize resources for the development of Novorossiya to counter EU/NATO economic endeavors directly across the border.

By utilizing the Sea of Azov, Crimea, and the Kharkiv oblast, the Kremlin has approved a comprehensive $3.2 billion infrastructure and industrial rejuvenation project that includes modern roads and rail networks, highway construction and interconnectivity to the coastline for increased exports via the Black Sea. Through communication with the Royal Family, the Putin Family has approved an Imperial investment of $1.76 billion to assist the SGRI government in this endeavor. With the main industries being industrial, construction, energy, shipbuilding, and healthcare, the investments will target these particular economic sectors while also acquiring the goal of increasing living standards. The Republic of Novorossiya and the Republic of Serbia would also sign a new memorandum for increased maritime trading and energy cooperation for modernizing shale gas deposits and energy technology in a $765 million project.

Additionally, President Yunus-Bek Bamatgireyevich Yevkurov has signaled for the increasing of military personnel into Novorossiya from 20,000 to 45,000 with the recent establishment of the SGRI National Border Defense Corps, whose responsibilities include the monitoring of the demilitarized zone and maritime coastlines in the Black Sea. The NBDC will primarily utilize land systems such as the:

THE ASAHI SHIMBUN

[list]THE PRIME MINISTER IS ACCUSED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT OF PUBLIC FUNDS - 90 IMPEACHMENT ORDERS WERE REQUESTED ON THE NATIONAL DIET[/list]

TOKYO METROPOLIS - The first corruption scandal in Japan's history involving the country's most powerful politician. Prime Minister Shinjirō Koizumi, currently in his second term, is the main target of the police.

The President of the LDP, Yoshihide Suga, at a press conference, states the following

[list][list]

As I said before and I reaffirm, [•••] the only party capable of keeping Japan in order is the LDP (...) these "New Democrats" are being a disgrace to the Japanese people

(...)

Therefore, I ask Parliament, as President of the LDP and member of the National Diet, that the Impeachment of Prime Minister Koizumi be carried out.

[/list][/list]

Koizumi is then in a complicated position. With the police inquiry, it is highlighted that the Prime Minister embezzled about 1 Billion Yen (US $ 9,206,492.00) together with the Minister of Finance. As such, 90 Impeachment orders against the Prime Minister were submitted to Parliament. All MPs are against the New Democrats, including obviously the LDP.

At the National Diet, the President of the House of Councillors, Sayuri Ono (New Democrats), was under pressure from MPs to hold the parliamentary session that would be for the Impeachment vote, where as expected the majority voted in favor and removed Koizumi. Something that had the support of the Japanese people and the media, as well as, the LDP returned to have the confidence of the people.

Naturally, when the Prime Minister is removed from office, the Deputy Prime Minister replaces him and remains in power until election day. But as Kentaro Saito is also involved in this scandal, Parliament voted unanimously and Yoshihide Suga was appointed to form a "Provisional Government" until the elections, where Suga also has a choice whether to run or not.

However, this is not over yet. Supreme Court of Japan ordered the arrest of former Prime Minister Koizumi for up to 10 years in prison on charges of embezzlement of public funds. [•••] This is a coup d'état against Japanese democracy, (...) he told reporters. But just 2 days later, when the police came to his house on an arrest warrant, the Former Prime Minister and his family fled to Canada and other people who were involved in the scandal were arrested.

| Meeting President Sisi at the airport would be Prime Minister Nouri and a large crowd of reporters from all around the world. Mrs Nouri wearing a burgundy short dress, with white high heels, her hair up in a beehive and a white handbag in her hand, would await the President at the limousine. As the two came close, she would shake his hand as the press took many historic pictures. After a moment the two would enter the limousine and take off.

Arriving at the Prime Minister Mansion, the two would be guided inside and through the corridors before entering her cabinet. The doors closed, Nouri would gesture Sisi to take a seat as she poured tea for the two. This moment has been very historic, as after sixty-one years the leaders of the two states finally met again. Taking a seat in front of Sisi, Nouri would take a sip of her tea before relaxing into her seat. |

| Meeting President Sisi at the airport would be Prime Minister Nouri and a large crowd of reporters from all around the world. Mrs Nouri wearing a burgundy short dress, with white high heels, her hair up in a beehive and a white handbag in her hand, would await the President at the limousine. As the two came close, she would shake his hand as the press took many historic pictures. After a moment the two would enter the limousine and take off.

Arriving at the Prime Minister Mansion, the two would be guided inside and through the corridors before entering her cabinet. The doors closed, Nouri would gesture Sisi to take a seat as she poured tea for the two. This moment has been very historic, as after sixty-one years the leaders of the two states finally met again. Taking a seat in front of Sisi, Nouri would take a sip of her tea before relaxing into her seat. |

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | As a result of the rebellion occurring in Saudi Arabia, the French Government has opted to seize Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman's luxury estate dubbed Château Louis XIV which located just outside Paris. While the prince reportedly spent over $300 million USD to purchase the property in 2015, no one has officially ever lived in the residence. The French Government however did not just confiscate the property. With President Macron's approval the sum of $300 million USD was in fact wired to the Saudi Government for uses that include aid to civilians affected by the rebel groups, insurance payouts to companies affected, and compensation to Saudi military families that have lost a loved one or saw their loved one return home with significant injuries. The French Government has opted to utilize the Château Louis XIV as a potential retreat for the French President but for the time being serves as a new headquarters for the En Marche! political movement which rents the palatial residence for €500,000 euros monthly. | [/sub]

Ministry of Defense Announces Iraqi Defense 2030 Program

Baghdad, Republic of Iraq

March 15, 2023

The Iraqi Ministry of Defense has announced a massive new military acquisition and restructuring program called Iraqi Defense 2030. Defense Minister Khaldun Hamid and Ground Forces Commander Lt. General Ali Ghaidan has confirmed 10 billion dollars in sales, purchases, contracts, and acquisitions for the Iraqi Armed Forces to take place over the next eight years. These purchases will be accompanied by a fundamental restructuring of the IAF’s units and command structure, the creation of several military academies, and a comprehensive anti-corruption program. Minister Hamid has said this represents a monumental shift in Iraq’s national security goals and a step forward for making Iraq safe and secure. The Iraqi Army, Air Force, and Navy have all made massive new acquisitions for almost every kind of equipment. Such deals have come from both the East and West, with some of the world’s largest defense contractors. Both the Army’s and Air Force’s purchases entail doctrinal shifts in the way they operate, which the Defense Ministry has made the centerpoint of the public announcement. Speaking on the IAF’s doctrine shift, Lt. Gen. Ghaidan said the following:

“Iraqi Defense 2030 is a new path for Iraq’s national security. Under Baathist regimes, Iraq built its arms for massive foreign wars with neighbors like Iran. Under the post-US regime, the Iraqi military was mobilized against its people, suppressing dissent as a mechanized police force. During the civil war, our army swelled to over half a million men to wrestle for control of the nation. Now, in peacetime, we must lead Iraq’s defense in a new direction. We will be lean, strong, hyper-modern, and competent. We will trade quantity for quality, equipping our troops to the best of global standards.”

*100x M109A7 Howitzer- $2 Billion, providing Iraqi Army with modern indirect fires and support capabilities

*150x M198 Howitzer- $75 Million, providing Iraqi Army with modern indirect fires and support capabilities

*20x MQ9 Reaper UCAV- $640 Million- stepping Iraq into modern UAV technology, high-altitude, long-endurance hunter-killer weapons system

[/spoiler]

The largest structural change comes to the Iraqi Army. The current Iraqi Army stands as a jumble of ad hoc Civil War units, Peshmerga, and the Popular Mobilization Forces. The Peshmerga will remain, by Iraqi Law, separate and not under command of Baghdad. The PMF will be given their own command and placed under a new Army command rather than the Ministry of Defense. Regular Iraqi units will absorb the largest changes, seeing a total restricting of the army. The force will be leaned down to 200,000 men, split into 3 new armies, and 2 independent Corps. The 1st Army will be the best of the Iraqi Army, specialized in armor and mechanized warfare. It will be the most conventional force, meant to protect Iraq in a direct war with another modern nation. 2nd Army will be the largest, with mainly mechanized and mobilized infantry, and artillery. It represents the backbone of the Iraqi army. The 3rd Army will be the dedicated counter-insurgency force of the Iraqi Army, composed of mainly light mobile infantry, with extra air power and special training. Each of these new Armies will have 2 Corp apiece. the independent 6th Support Corp will have much of Iraq’s new artillery as well as support units like medical and engineers. The most crucial change is the creation of 1st Logistics Corp. It will provide new communication and supply infrastructure, the lack of which has held the Iraqi army back in the past. The Iraqi Special Operations Force will be composed of 3 brigades. There will also be the Army Air Force, which will operate the Army’s aircraft. of these units, including the PMF, will be placed under Ground Forces Command. GFC will be directly subordinate to the Ministry of Defense and the President.

The Air Force has been held back by lack of capability in the past. Primarily fielding a fleet of 40 F-16s, the addition of new Dassault Rafale’s will modernize Iraq’s fighter and strike capabilities. More important, however, is the introduction of dedicated CAS and COIN craft. While the 12 A-10 Warthogs will be operated by the Army, the 20 IA-58 Super Pucaras will be operated exclusively by the Air Force. This also includes half of the Mangusta attack choppers and the Reaper drones. Air Force Command will be divided into four regional commands and bases, with 2 squadrons of aircraft each.

Two other major elements accompany the purchases and restructuring: training and corruption. The program sets aside $400 Million for the creation of new training academies and bases for all branches. The Army intends to capitalize on the experience of combat veterans from the Civil War, primarily in new counter-insurgency training. The Ministry of Defence also created the Department of Military Investigations, a bod given wide power to conduct internal investigations of military personnel. The Department promises to stop corruption and restore the rule of law to the IAF. Overall, the Program will reduce the Iraqi Armed Forces to just under 300,000 troops. About 200,000 will belong to the military, a little under 100,000 to the air force, and just a few thousand Navy personnel. It will be accompanied by years of training and drilling, especially with Arab League and MECO partners like Saudi Arabia and Iran.

The majority of new equipment is expected to enter active service by 2025, however, the institutional and organizational reforms, as well as new training and drills, will not be complete until 2030. Many have criticized the program, calling it overly expensive and unnecessary for a relatively peaceful middle east. President al-Shaer and General Ghiadan have been quick to point out that the program reorients the IAF to defensive operations, pointing to the lack of ballistic missile or weapons development programs as evidence that Iraq has no offensive intent. It has also been suggested by multiple sources, that despite the modern equipment and maintenance costs, the overall smaller size of the IAF will save Iraq money in the long term.

THE FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG

SCHEFFNER CALLS FOR A REFERENDUM ON THE EU-US FREE TRADE AGREEMENT TO END ALL DEBATES

BERLIN - The question of free trade with the United States has always been a tense one between the pro-parties (ULP, CDU, FDP) and those against, notably the far left, the far right and the left.

For nearly a month, the introduction of this treaty in the EU agenda began a vague of debates in the Bundestag and even among the Government. The population of Germany is also very divided with many suspecting the US to not play fair in terms of competition rules and norms of health and safety.

"I don't want to have imports of beef with chemicals in them. Nor do I want products which probably cheat fair competition rules. The US is too big for us to just play fair trade with them. I believe we must open our markets slowly and gain trust slowly. A mutual partnership is the only thing we see as positive" says Socialist deputy Martin Broman of Hessen.

On the other hand, Minister of Trade Bastian Oliver went to the stand in the Bundestag to defend his project. "An FTA with the US will OF COURSE keep our EU standards; will OF COURSE, keep our competition rules on them; will OF COURSE not let anything come into our markets; in fact it will OF COURSE bring many jobs to Germans with unlimited acess to a market that is nearly the size of ours ! This is an opportunity we MUST take ! Not all nations have an FTA with the US ! WE MUST TAKE IT"

The tensions kept growing until the final decision was made: a referendum. In a televised appearance, Greta Scheffner declared calmly

"The People of Germany will decide, with all the information in its hands, of both sides, if we are to accept a treaty of free trade with the United States or if we should refuse it at the Council of the European Union. I believe that this referendum will be the best way to have everyone take an interest in the matter and put an end to senseless debates and fakenews that have spread over the past few weeks."

THE LEIPZIG SCIENTIFIC REVIEW [-EXTRACT-]

GERMAN SCIENTISTS CONFIRM STUDY AND ASK GERMANY AND EU PRESIDENT LAGARARDE TO SEIZE ALL SUNSCREEN PRODUCTS WITH OCTOCRYLENE (C24H27NO2)

LEIPZIG - Madame the Minister of Health,

Madam Chancellor, and

Madam the President of the European Commission;

We come to you after two and a half years of research in a team composed of EU scientists.

The industries that produce Octrocrylene know that this molecule is contaminated by benzophenone (C13H10O) and that this one cannot be eliminated entirely in the industrial production of octrocrylene. Many industrial companies declare that the presence of benzophenone and its concentration is "negligible if not non existent". However, octrocrylene slowly evolves into benzophenone even in conditionned products which includes notably sunscreen creams.

On 15 products out of 29, 9 from non-EU countries, and 6 from EU countries (FR, DE, GB, ES, CH, SE), the presence of benzophenone was confirmed. In fact, as the product becomes older, the presence of benzophenone increases.

The scientific community of Germany admits that octrocrylene and benzophenone are both absorbed by the skin every easily.

However, we believe octrocrylene, according to our results, presents a danger to human health and also to the environment on corals since sunscrean is often diluted in water when going for a swim in the ocean. A link between cancer and octrocrylene has been potentially confirmed although a result that is 100% conclusive is impossible to bring forth at this time.

We therefore ask, Madam Minister, and Chancellor, and also the President of the Commission, to suspend the commerce of sunscrean products containing octrocrylene.

Scientifically yours,

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]

[sup]New Political Group Formed in National Assembly[/sup] [list]

| [sub]Twenty-five Assembly Members have resigned from their respective political parties to form a new 'negotiation group' within the National Assembly, the grouping is led by Byun Kang-dae who resigned from the governing Justice Party along with eight other AMs. They claim that the current political parties are not in tune with the current mood of the Korean People and claim that there are covert attempts to rid Korea of its monarchy.[/sub] |

| [sub]Not yet a political party in the legal sense, neogtiation groups are entitled to a variety of rights that are denied to smaller parties. These include a greater amount of state funding and participation in the leaders' summits that determine the assembly's legislative agenda, it also grants AMs from those in groups greater speaking time and more office space. The Assembly Members that joined the group were formly members of the; Justice Party; Democratic Party; Future Korea Party; and one member of the Minjung Party. Byun has stated that talks between the members are ongoing about forming a political party, but with such a mix of ideology it will take time to formulate such a party, and Byun said it shouldn't be rushed.[/sub] |

| [sub]The new grouping has been dismissed by other political parties and groups in the National Assembly as 'foolish' and 'career killing' and the group accepts that it could be, but it is a risk they are willing to make for what they believe in, and giving Korea a new option. Time will tell if it was indeed a risk worth taking.[/sub] |
