National Foundation Day
February 11, 2021
A system of governance ought not be judged on the basis of its structure, but on the basis of the people who rule within it. Certainly however, it can be noted that of all the systems, Monarchy maintains an aura of traditionalism like no other, with exceptions of course. Some monarchies have resulted in great success; others were tyrannical. But above all else, the Yamato Dynasty, the ruling and sole monarchy of the Japanese nation, is undoubtedly the best monarchy of all.
Unique to Japan is the dynamic of the relationship between Japan's monarchy, and Japan the nation. A nation is not the same as a country. A country is a defined, established territory recognized as under the jurisdiction of a nominally independent, sovereign governmental state. But a nation is a people, unified by a common ethnicity, religion, culture, history, and heritage. We all know very well the Japanese nation to be made up of the Japanese people. In many countries the monarchy is established by the people (the nation) or established through a Mandate, divine or otherwise. In Japan, however, it is the Yamato Monarchy that when established is the origin point of the Japanese nation/people, and the foundation of Japanese society and cultureall things arguably stem from that established starting point. And as you shall witness in this tale dating back millennia, Japan and its Monarchy are something quite special. Hopefully you enjoy this story as much as I do. So we begin:
[list]Jimmus Beginnings[/list]
| The man who would one day become Emperor Jimmu was born on February 13, 711 B.C. in Takachiho, which is today located in the Miyazaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Modern-day Japan. Jimmu was born to Ugayafukiaezu, his father, and to Tamayori-hime, his mother. Jimmu was the youngest of their four children, with his three older brothers being in order from oldest to youngest: Itsuse, Inahi, and Mikenu. |
[list]The Origin of the Nation[/list]
| In the year 693 B.C., Jimmus clan would begin their journey eastward through southern Honshu, for the purposes of being in a location better suited for administering the country. This time period in Japan's history was known as the Jomon Period, where the initial native Japanese people, the Yamato Race, were scattered amongst the Japanese isles (with the exception of Hokkaido, at this time still inhabited mainly by the native Ainu peoples) mainly preoccupied as a hunter-gather society. Jimmus eldest brother, Itsuse, would be the one initially leading the migration. During their journey, they would battle with various other clans, thereby expanding their own clans power and influence. In addition, for the passing of the Seto Inland Sea, they received the assistance of a local chieftain, named Sao Netsuhiko. |
| In the year 660 B.C. the migration reached Naniwa, located where the present-day city of Osaka is today. Residing there was the local chieftain Nagasunehiko, and his respective clan. A battle ensued between the two groups, with Itsuses clan being defeated in battle. It was here where Itsuse was killed. |
| Jimmu would take over as the leader of the expedition. Having witnessed the previous battle, he realized that by having his clan face eastward while fighting meant that they were also fighting against the sun, hence why they had lost. Being intelligent and strategic, he knew that the next time he and his clan would have to face westward when fighting off Nagasunehiko. The migration train made way to the eastern end of the Kii Peninsula, finally arriving in the town of Yamato. |
| Morning had arrived. Nagasunehiko and his army came before before Jimmu and his clan. Notably, Nagasunehiko's clan lay among the Osaka plain, whilst Jimmu and his men occupied the high ground of a nearby cliff. Standing atop that nearby hill, Jimmu held out his staff, and with the assistance of both the rising sun and the three-legged crow Yatagarasu, Jimmus clan had the upper hand. They overwhelmingly defeated Nagasunehiko and his army, with Jimmu and his clan coming out victorious. |
| On February 11, 660 B.C., Jimmu ascended his newly founded throne in the city of Yamato, establishing the nation of Japan, and becoming its first Emperor. From here we see the foundation of the Yamato Dynasty, and from Jimmu's clan and both his lineage and the posterity of his people the Yamato Race. The Monarchy notably came before the chrysanthemum arrived to Japan from the mainland Asian continent in the 5th Century A.D., cultivated throughout Japan during the Heian Period, thus making the Yamato Dynasty more native and organic to Japan than the chrysanthemum flower, an important cultural symbol. Today the Imperial Standard of the Yamato Dynasty is represented by a golden chrysanthemum on an imperial red background, and so too is the throne of the Yamato Dynasty named after the chrysanthemum. Even the Rising Sun, found on the Rising Sun flag from the Japanese Empire (today the Japanese naval flag), and on the Nisshoki today, stems from the glorious Rising Sun that assisted Jimmu in his victory, a symbol for the influence of the Japanese nation to all eight corners of the earth, across the Pacific Ocean. The laws of the Japanese nation, the customs and mannerisms practiced, the homogenous ethnic makeup, the hierarchical monarchical structure, the ambition to seek victory and not accept failure or defeat, symbols of the Japanese people, the concept of maintaining tradition not only along cultural but along the lines of natural law, among other things, all center around and find their origin in either the Yamato Dynasty founded by Jimmu, by the respective clan led by Jimmu's immediate family, or by their journey to eventually lead the Yamato people. |
| Emperor Jimmu would reign for 75 years, from 660 B.C. to his death on April 9th, 585 B.C. at the age of 126, after which the throne would be passed over to Jimmus younger son, the soon-to-become Emperor Suizei. This lineage of emperors has continued to this day, and has maintained itself as the world's oldest surviving hereditary monarchy. Above all, is this story is real. The origin of the Yamato Dynasty and the Japanese nation, and the lineage/family line of the Yamato Dynasty is documented well within old Japanese documents such as the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki. The direct hereditary lineage from the first Emperor Jimmu to the present-day, 126th Emperor Naruhito is verifiably true, and maintains the legitimacy of both the Imperial Dynasty and the nation of Japan's existence. |
[list]The First National Day[/list]
| In 1873, as part of Emperor Meiji and the Meiji governments plans for increased national pride, nationalism, traditionalism, and the veneration of the Chrysanthemum Throne, National Foundation Day was officially introduced as a national holiday, so that the Japanese people may have a set date put aside to honor and celebrate the day on which Japans first Emperor ascended the throne, founded their nation, and began the worlds longest hereditary monarchy, which continues to this present day. |
| Prior to 1873, National Foundation Day was celebrated via tradition, though not codified into national law, and coincidentally aligned with the Japanese lunisolar calendar. According the the previous lunisolar Japanese calendar of the past, National Foundation Day would have began on the first day of the year. However, coinciding with Japan's adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1873, the Day was moved to the Gregorian February 11th, thus aligning it with the same date Emperor Jimmu ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne. |
[list]Importance of National Foundation Day[/list]
| National Foundation Day remains a day for us to celebrate not just the Founding of the nation of Japan, but also for all to celebrate the Chrysanthemum Throne as a whole, and the achievements made by all of Japans 126 Emperors during their different reigns. The Imperial Throne has done more for Japan and its people than any other political position in its overall history. |
| From the conception of the Japanese nation in 660 B.C. to 1185 A.D., the Japanese Emperors and the Yamato Dynasty ruled effectively without opposition from the Japanese people who loved them dearly. But starting with the abdication of the 80th Emperor Takakura in 1180, and the extreme youth of his sons/successors 81st Emperor Antoku and 82nd Emperor Go-Toba, forces between the Taira and Minomoto clans in Japan seized the opportunity to take control of Japan themselves, and the ensuing fight between both clans developed into the Genpai War, a Japanese civil war occuring from 1180 to 1185. The Minomoto's won, forming the first Kamakura Shogunate, and the Emperor became a figurehead. Not until the overthrowing of the Kamakura Shogunate in 1333 by 96th Emperor Go-Daigo, restoring the rightful Emperor and Yamato Dynasty back to rule of the nation. Alas, it was only temporary, for in 1336 the Ashikagas overthrew the Imperial government and formed the second Ashikaga Shogunate, which would last until it was abolished in 1573, paving way for the Sengoku period of Daimyos until the Tokugawa clan formed the third shogunate, the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1600. |
| It would not be until 1858 when we would see pushback against the unrightful shoguns directly by the Emperor himself, when Emperor Komei, the 121st emperor, refused to give a stamp of approval to the shogunate on an awful trade deal with the U.S.A. and the U.K. In this unexpected move, the shogunate was stuck. They had to get the emperor's approval in order to maintain the facade that the Emperor, the de-jure head of state and supreme leader of Japan, had real power, while at the same time pursuing their subversive shogunate agenda against the wishes of the normally figurehead emperors. Coupled with the centuries of tyranny and bloodshed caused by the various shogunates in the past for nearly 700 years of rule; the natural disasters that occurred in the 1830's and 1840's and the shogunate's failed responses to them; the angers of the Japanese people towards an incompetant, Japan-last shogunate, represented especially by the honorable, nationalist, Japan-First rebellion of Japanese patriots led by Oshio Heihachiro in 1837; and the weakness of the shogunate revealed by their weak response to the Americans who arrived in 1853, all pointed to the fact that the unrightful Tokugawa Shogunate was no longer fit to rule. Imperial rule had to be restored. Komei would proceed to dissent against the shogunate, and would for the first time in centuries make an Imperial edict when he expelled westerners from Japan in 1862 against the wishes of the shogunate. It would not be until 1868 however, when his son, 122nd Emperor Meiji, would lead the Japanese nation to overthrow the Shogunate during the Boshin War, restoring the Yamato Dynasty to supreme rule of the nation, initiating the Meiji Restoration, and founding the Japanese Empire. Under Meiji's Imperial rule, Meiji would industrialize Japan in under a decade, build up a great army and navy, formed an alliance with the British via the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and expand into southern Sakhalin, the Ryukyu Islands, Formosa, and Korea, and fight off both the Qing and the Russians. His predecessors, 123rd Emperor Taisho and 124th Emperor Hirohito, would continue his legacy. But under the destruction of the Anglo-Japanese alliance in 1922 at the behest of jealous western powers, and in the midst of the 1929 Recession, the military sought the opportunity to seize control, forming an informal, fourth shogunate in 1931 under the transition from Imperial to Military rule, led by the unrightful Hideki Tojo. The military would strip the Yamato Dynasty of its powers, leaving the Emperor once again a figurehead, before the military would proceed to prop up tyranny, cause untold horrendous crimes across China and Southeast Asia, and silence the voices of pro-Emperor, anti-war nationalist patriots like Isoroku Yamamoto. After WWII, the fourth Shogunate fell, but the Imperial Yamato Dynasty was not given its powers back; Japan was shifted to a democracy, and ever since 1931, the Yamato Dynasty and the Emperor never saw true political power again. But there is hope in the nationalist ruling LDP, who has maintained a pro-Emperor political platform and agenda, and continues to invoke a powerful nationalist spirit in the Japanese people today. |
| The Yamato Dynasty and the Japanese Emperor's represent the best of Japan. A homogenous, ethnically-united, high-trust society of Japanese people. A nationalist nation that does not apologize for the actions of others, but instead honors the contributions of its forefathers throughout the millennia. A traditionalist society that honors the family. A society that has produced great works and exported them to the world (including Anime). A society of hard-work ethic and industrious, innovative people. A nation that is free-market, but also places the interests of its people and industries first. A nation that inherently (though maybe not explicitly) rejects the false songs of progressivism, globalism, and neoliberalism. And these attributes all tie back to the founding family, Emperor Jimmu and his descendants: the Yamato Dynasty. As we move forward, on this 2681st Anniversary of Emperor Jimmu's ascent to the Chrysanthemum Throne, may we bless the current Emperor and current, incumbent, ruling descendant of Jimmu, the 126th Emperor Naruhito. May Naruhito soon initiate the Naruhito Restoration, and with the assistance of the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Japan restore Imperial rule, so that the Emperors of Japan may once again guide the nation politically. |
I wish you all a wonderful National Foundation Day. May you be honorable and prosperous in the eyes of the Emperor. As the Rising Sun flag waves, raise yourself a glass of Sake to enjoy :3
[list][sub]"For the notion of independence is merely legal nonsense. Now and forever, even as I rise up as your President, we remain dependent on the Emperor as the foundation of this Japanese people." President of Diwi Dahiti Fuku, 1948
"Most are aware of my book Philosophy of Freedom, but many run unaware of its sequel, Philosophy of Order. For a people cannot responsibly maintain absolute freedom from government rule if it is not ruled by order stemming from natural law and from Buddhism. For without order maintained within the culture and society by traditionalism, the people will descend into moral degeneracy and cause their own destruction. As the Yamato Race moves towards the future, let us not forget our origin as servants to the honorable, disciplined, glorious Emperor. For as long as the rest of this disorderly world is corrupted and without morality, I would contend that even I, an anarchist, would much rather prefer we maintain Imperial rule in Tokyo for generations, than permit the destruction of the state as an institution." President of Diwi Hirotoki Honshu, 1972
"The formation of this Kiwi Dynasty, and the transition of the Diwinese Republic into the Diwinese Empire, serves as a reminder to all that we are an Imperial people. Democracy is cringe and backwards, and serves only to forward Keynesianism, neoconservatism, progressivism, globalism, hedonism, secularism, and a number of other social ills upon this society. For this Kiwi has been appointed by your Emperor in Tokyo, for while he may not rule you directly, he has sent his representative to rule as your head of state on his behalfas a dual executive with I, the President of Diwi and co-head of statereminiscent of the Governor Generals, appointed by Komei, Meiji, Taisho, and Hirohito during our first century and origin as a territory of the Tokugawa Shogunate and then the Japanese Empire[...] Today dawns a new day, exactly 70 years since our independence on July 14th, 1947, that we face a new era. Just as the glorious Meiji restored Imperial might and power to recreate an Imperial, industrialized nation, so too I form this paleoconservative, laissez-faire, nationalist, traditionalist vision for the nation for which I love!"

SPANISH COLONIAL COMMISSION
SEPTEMBER 2022
Prime Minister Ortega has today signed the SCC (Spanish Colonial Commission) into existence, an Organization meant to prevent corruption and exploitation in Spain's foreign possessions. Especially important due to her continued goals to expand Spain's overseas Empire, the SCC shall prevent the circumstances that allowed for independence to occur in the past (That being oppression and low standards of living). In essence, the SCC shall attempt to enforce the same standards as those which exist within Equatorial Guinea throughout all of the other future acquisitions. Uniquely for a National organization, half of the seats on the SCC are set to be filled by foreign observers from the EU to ensure that corrupt bias is less prone to occur. Further, the SCC is the first official "hint" towards the fact that Spain wishes to further expand overseas, something it has not been eager to admit in the past. Importantly for the Colonies themselves, the SCC shall also oversee the appointment of "native" administrators and ensure that administrations remain as diverse as possible while retaining stability and overall Spanish rule within them.
So far Spain has managed to make its intentions regarding Equatorial Guinea clear and positive, with some foreign Nations sending covert messages of approval, while some others stuck to their morals and denounced it publicly. On the whole, however, none can deny that what Spain is doing in Africa is quite different from the past, with some within the Spanish media describing it as "Fatherly guidance for the Continent" rather than rule with an iron fist.

The family is one of the many families who fled Russian occupation during the Eastern Crisis. The film would start in their home in Donetsk amid the violence of Pro-Russian separatists it would show the injustices against the Ukrainian people by the Rebel forces as Ukrainian Armed Force bravely protected them until the end. The Kushnir family would then have to trek on foot from Donetsk to Kyiv the early parts of the film would show the family escaping firefights between Ukrainian armed forces and Russian rebels. The rest would showcase the resilience of the Ukrainian people in their walk towards freedom in Kyiv. The film was loved by Ukrainian audiences ,many felt emotional connections to the film.[/sub]

Explanation time again...
Erarwati used to play as Indonesia. In his canon, the nation was called Nusantara instead of Indonesia, Nusantara owned Papua New Guinea, Singapore, West Malaysia, and a bit of land in Thailand.
In the canon, I was allied to him, and our nations traded a lot. Suddenly, he went inactive. I assume it must have been Georgetown University stuff.
I want him back. His roleplays would bring a smile to my face especially during these difficult times. I hope he recieved the Covid-19 vaccine or something.
The alliance between the Philippines and Nusantara was very strong *cough* Filipino-Singhasari Union *cough*. Only thing is, a ton of CoL members accuse me of being a "simp" *cough* Nevbrejnovitz *cough* Khalmaria, all the general stuff I guess.

The Battle of Paris was fought on March 3031, 1814 between the Sixth Coalition, consisting of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, against the French Empire. After a day of fighting in the suburbs of Paris, the French surrendered on March 31, ending the War of the Sixth Coalition and forcing Emperor Napoleon to abdicate and go into exile.
KING FELIPE IV DIES AS A RESULT OF PROLONGUED CONTRACTION OF COVID-19
SEPTEMBER 2022
King Felipe IV has perished tragically today after having been tested positive with Covid-19 on the 5th of June this year, a result of his refusal to stay isolated within his Palace rather than visit the People and Hospitals of Spain which are still dealing with the ongoing disease. The death of Felipe IV marks the second world leader to die since Eswatini Prime Minister Ambrose Dlamini in December of 2020. Overall contraction rates of Covid-19 had fallen on the whole within Spain, however as the King was moving to many different places across the country the chance of him contracting it had grown dramatically. Spanish Doctors were confident that they could manage the symptoms and save the King's life, however this was proven to be false hope when it was confirmed that his situation was deteriorating earlier this month. Prime Minister Ortega has, as a result of this horrific occurrence, declared that the Nation shall undertake a 10 day period of mourning in which all flags must fly at half-mast and no celebrations must take place.
Inheriting the throne from her Father, Leonor, Princess of Asturias (Leonor de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Ortiz) shall be crowned within the coming days to officially mark her officially becoming Monarch of Spain. At only seventeen years of age, she will ascend the throne at a much younger age than Elizabeth II, and shall become the first female Spanish Monarch since 1868. The Coffin of the King shall be paraded throughout Madrid before being laid to rest in a Royal Burial Vault at the Royal Site of San Lorenzo de El Escorial where the Royal Palace is located.

ARMED FORCES GENERAL COMMAND: INDONESIAN ARMED PERSONNEL AMBUSHED BY EXTREMIST FORCES ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE BORNEO SPACE CENTER [/list]
[sub]At 8:14 AM local time, with most military and civilian personnel asleep and only a hundred or so troops on duty, multiple explosions rocked the outskirts of the Borneo Space Center. AK-47 shots were then heard from the eastern side, near the empty fuel depots and the East Entrance. A force of 20 Indonesian infantry under the 21st Infantry Company who were holding the East Entrance suffered 11 casualties but continued to hold the line. A group of 6 Leopard 2A4 tanks moved from their positions around the Launch Vehicle Assembly Facility (LVAF) and moved across the East Access Road escorted by 250 infantry and 6 Pindad Anoa APCs. At 8:27 AM, the first Leopard 2A4 fired four rounds at the East Entrance, decimating a group of 17 enemy troops who were attempting to overwhelm the elements of the 21st Infantry Company with RPGs and machine guns. Another Leopard 2A4 moved forward ahead of the advancing force and fired at an AT nest hidden in the jungle nearby, destroying it. Infantry troops filed into the Pindad Anoa APCs in preparation for an advance into the jungle. At 8:31 AM, French and Indonesian personnel were evacuated to the south, into the Visitor Complex next to the South Entrance. A force of 450 infantry and 4 Pindad Anoa APCs stood guard to protect the civilian personnel. The remaining APCs, 800 infantry and 8 Leopard 2A4 tanks exited through the South Entrance and turned east to flank the enemy forces at the East Entrance. At 8:39 AM, 3 Pindad Anoa APCs reached the 21st Infantry Company, who had suffered additional losses, leaving them at only 3 men-strong. Only seconds later, one APC filled with infantry and a medic group exploded in a fiery inferno after being hit by an RPG. Two Leopard 2A4 tanks arrived and fired 12 rounds at the enemy positions then advanced forward to the gate. 250 infantry arrived and began advancing behind the tanks, taking cover behind advancing APCs. At 8:44 AM, a full thirty minutes after the start of the attack, Prime Minister Puan Maharani and Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto were notified of the attack. The 1st Borneo Army, stationed in Pontianak, west of the Space Center and standing at 5,000-strong, was ordered to the Space Center immediately. At 8:47 AM, the group of 6 Leopard 2A4 tanks broke through the gate and began their advance into the forest, followed closely by the infantry. At 8:51 AM, contact was made with the Southern Advance Group, who had departed from the South Entrance earlier. The Southern Advance Group then split off once more and moved south to flank the enemy, but was ordered to halt and wait for the reinforcements from Pontianak. At 8:52 AM, 6 RPGs opened fire on the still-advancing Eastern Advance Group, destroying one Leopard 2A4 and killing 38 infantry. The order to halt advance was received only seconds after. As towers of smoke billowed from the eastern section of the Borneo Space Center, the 1st Marine Division stationed in Ketapang, southwest of the Space Center, was ordered to the battlefield because of their combat experience in the jungle. The Indonesian Intelligence Committee (IIC) announced at 9:04 AM that the attacking group was not linked to East Guinea terrorists, but to North Borneo terrorists. [/sub]

| GREATER MIDDLE EAST VISION |
[sub]12th of April, 2022[/sub]
| After much planning and deliberation, Aisha, the Arab superstar and Prince Leon Diba have proposed the Greater Middle East Vision. The Greater Middle East Vision, would be very similar to Worldvision but more regional. In the words of Aisha, the Greater Middle East Vision would bring the Middle East together closely, through a cultural and social event. "...forgetting political differences and problems, the Greater Middle East Vision would allow us to celebrate our cultures on a more regional level than the Worldvision..." Stated Aisha.
The Greater Middle East Vision would take place each year, starting this year, every September. The show would be broken into two semi-finals and the grand final. It would be the biggest cultural event of the Middle East, bringing all faiths, ethnicities and people together. An official invitation has been sent out to nations to participate in the show this September. The winner of the GMEV will take home the Golden Microphone, a cash prize of 100,000 Dollars, and will allow it's home-country to host next year's show.
The following countries have gained an invitation to the show, with major hopes of acceptance.

The governments of Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan have demonstrated their profound interest in participating in the Greater Middle East Vision contest. Although part of the SGRI, the Kremlin has supported the notion that the individual SGRI countries invited should participate as separate entities to promote the unique cultures and talents that are present within the Union-State.

The Kurdish AR would like to participate and would have an office of the GMEV opened up in Amed. If victorious in a competition for now, it would like to work with another nation to host it as its infrastructure is not suitable for competitions. President Leyla Guven would hope that this could draw tourist dollars to the region as well and further advance its formal separation from Turkey into a fully independent nation. Guven hopes to also use the GMEV to bring more attention to Kurdish artists.
As for Turkey itself, despite being in the EU it would be happy to send representatives to the GMEV and Minister of Culture, Mehmet Ersoy, states that they can increase the prize pool to 150,000 USD. Even though it is in the EU Turkey can still act as a bridge between the two cultural spheres. Minister Ersoy also states that it will build a new concert hall in the former capital of Ankara to host not only local/international independent acts, but to potentially host the GMEV if Turkey wins. O Ses Türkiye will determine who gets sent to GMEV. Ayda Mosharraf will act as representative as she is Iranian-Turkish in origin.

UPDATE ON HORIZONTE 2030
[list][list]September 2022[/list]
A year has passed since the declaration of La Plata to turn green with its massive green plan named Horizonte 2030. Such ambitious plan couldnt be done alone and La Plata counted on many partners to achieve its goals. After 1 year, here are the agreements secured with partners to achieve the goals of La Platas Green Plan
[*]Roman Federation (Pontianus): ENI will invest 20% of the total needed to develop the Vaca Muerta shale oil and shale gas deposits in exchange of a guaranteed 20% of exports reserved for Roman imports. This deal was made in realisation that Rome was decreasing its production in order to reach its own EU green goals. With Rome planning to decrease by half its own production, La Plata would increase its own in order to replace wholly or partly the 1 million barrel per day Rome would produce less. Rome will also participate in Rare Earth mining alongside Platino companies.
[*]Australia (Vancouver Straits) pledges mutual support and supports the creation of a mining forum, similar to the OEED on oil production, in order to stabilize prices of minerals and prevent unfair competition or price dumping. This agreement was negotiated few days after the announcement by Russia on its Lithium production and the potential destabilizing effect of that announcement it made on the Lithium market. This forum should regroup both private and government companies in a similar forum where projects could be discussed and an open communication kept in order to allow fair trade practices. This forum also cautions for greener practises and investments.
[*]With recent negotiations with the USP (Paramountica), La Plata will work with Paramerican companies to enhance its car production and create new joint-designs with green specifications in mind. Moreover, La Plata will work with those car companies for their batteries and new battery technologies for longer autonomy. With the return of Biden to power, a rapprochement investment-wise is on its way.
[*]Québec (Quebec Republic/Paramountica) is also a new partner in this project. As the Latins of the North, many things link the two nations together. Indeed, Québec will help La Plata in the hydroelectricity sector, especially development in Paraguay and untapped rivers in Chile or Uruguay. Moreover, Hydro-Québec experience with the first high-voltage long-range lines will help La Plata with the transportation of its electricity from the corners of the nation to its urban centres. Underground lines are also another expertise Hydro-Québec has and it will profit the nation, especially in big cities or areas with a harsher environment. Moreover, with the recent COVID pandemic, La Platas lacking in pharmaceutical know-how was criticized and Québecs Medicago company (who developed a COVID-19 vaccine based on tobacco leaves, a new revolutionizing technic) will work with La Plata to develop a local production and research facility with a mutual assured production of future vaccines in the event of another pandemic.
[*]Germany (Bayern Kahla) and Spain (Ranponian) pledged investments in the massive green project. President Mandrake will soon make an international tour in order to have clearer information
Those deals were made shortly after the announcement of the projects and with Mandrake back in charge, he will intensify his search for partners in the massive project of his nation. This plan should cost over 1.5 trillion over 10 years and increase the debt of La Plata by 500 to 850 billion $ depending on the amount of investors and the state of the economic growth. The sacrifice of today will be the liberation of the future of La Plata.

Upon reaching the deadline to establish the governments of each Autonomous Region, each of the four plus formally establishing the Turkish side of the Kurdish nation, which will be made independent within the next two years. Within the other four AR's the Presidents have reached out and gotten local equivalents of those political parties established and filled with constituents and gotten their voter bases created to ensure a constant election. In particular the two Greek AR's have established a unitary policy plan in which they would assist each other and share resources the other lacks. In the Georgian AR, the Georgian President, Giorgi Khmaladzhe, has gotten in touch with the Smyrna AR president, Manos Traiforos and informed him of his promise to maintain the Pontic Greek population along with any historical sites held important to the population. The Armenian President, Armen Bedekian has contacted Leyla Güven and promised to also maintain the Kurdish minority and ensure they have their voices heard within the Armenian AR.
All four plus Kurdistan, for now, have signed an agreement to support each other and to equalise their voices within the Turkish Parliament in which they will each be given 10 seats within. PM Akar and Sultan Abdulhamid have made an appearance at Ankara, the former capital to meet with and sign the documents necessary to found each parliament and offer blessings to each of the fully founded Autonomous Republics. Also on that day, Sultan Abdulhamid had declared the day a national holiday called Day of Peace, in which all the major minorities would finally get their justice while still keeping the nation together as a whole. In a joint poll issued by the TRT, Turkish Radio and Television Corporation, and Hürriyet, a physical newspaper, relations between the minority 4 and the majority Turkish population has increased from 36 favourability to now 47 favourability and more than 50% of the poll takers have reported they would report a higher favourability later on if things continue down the path currently taken.
In other news members of the more conservative/islamist factions have expressed major concerns for the changes stating the nation no longer feels Turkish but now a mishmash of non Turks having way more power than necessary. Some more radical members have begun planning some potential activities to force the national government to bow to them and the ARs to dissolve and be reabsorbed back in.

All twenty-two countries have decided to send in representation for this year contest, marking a historic day in the Middle Eastern, Central Asian and Northern African history. Coming together to celebrate one another's culture. The two semi-finals took place on the 10th and 11th of September with major success. It has been reported that the two semi finals have been watched by more than 74.4 Million people around the area. All of the performances were brilliant, with the technologically staging giving the performers a chance to shine. The seats were full at the venue as well. During interval and opening acts of the Semi-Finals, the Jordanian culture was showcased.
Each Semi-Final has given the top 6 countries that have made through to the Grand Final. 60% of televotes and 40% of Judges votes have brought many countries through, resulting in the Grand 12 that will fight for victory at the Grand Final on the 13th of September.
This is the Running Order for the Grand Final. |

[list][*]Peru (Ancuna): Lima
[*]Central America (Jersey Republic): Panama City
[*]Paramerica (Paramountica): Washington D.C
[*]Québec (Quebec Republic): Québec City [/list]
Mandrake will focus on economic integration with its fist 2 hosts and more trade and investment with the last 2 hosts. He might also open the discussion about the revival of the OAS and more cooperation among the Americas.

ROYAL APPROVAL FOR MARRIAGE[/B]
For some time, Helmiina, the heir apparent and daughter of the current monarch, had been rumoured to be deeply involved with a man whom many saw as an oddly perfect fit. The two had long been the focal point of royal news coverage, as they have had a close relationship for a decent amount of time. This close platonic relationship however, came under great scrutiny when friends of the two revealed the relationship developed more personal aspects to it. From that point, many had speculated not only of a romantic relationship, but of a possible impending marriage. From her summer residence in Kultaranta and after months of circling rumours, the Queen had announced the engagement and approval of Helmiina, Princess to wed Don Felipe de Marichalar-Borbón son of the Infanta Elena, Duchess of Lugo. The Queen indicated the date of the marriage, 20 March 2023 as per the wish of the couple. The news comes amid political deadlock and sustained anti-NATO demonstrations.

BUNDESNACHRICHTENDIENST
OPERATION NEBULOS
The recent news in Finland had worried the German Government deeply. Officially, the Chancellor wished to avoid direct confrontation on the topic which pertained to the internal struggles of Finland. There was however the possibility that Finland would lose NATO status and perhaps worse, EU status. The chances of a double withdrawal were slim but quite possible.
At the BND, reports of the German Embassy in Finland flooded with remarks that "internal politics in Finland are putting at risk NATO membership" and especially that "action is required".
Usually, the BND would never and never actually spied on its own EU/NATO allies. This was written in the first Circular of the 12th November 1958 which created the rules of action of the german intelligence service.
Scheffner and Merkel were given a short briefing about Finland from bits of information coming from the BND, Finnish colleagues and experts. The briefing clearly suggested that Finland was in danger of losing NATO membership fast and that soft action would be necessary to counter act this trend. The director of the BND proposed a soft action plan for ATEO (the external branch of the BND).
Scheffner and Merkel were extremely sceptic. There was a chance to make things worse were not just for NATO for also for Finnish relations if it were found that Germany was trying to influence Finnish opinion with its intelligence service. But doing nothing was just as bad remarked the Chancellor. She did however, make clear that agents were not allowed to take any forceful action and only had cards to play soft information spreading to curb opinion on NATO.
The Director of ATEO agreed and signed the Memorendum for NEBULOS.
The plan would work easily from home via internet on social media in all areas via the cyber warfare and information warfare department B4-C and B4-I. But the plan would also reach Finland itself.
Five agents of ATEO would be the first wave of NEBULOS with the objective of intercepting three kinds of people : "at the service" of NATO, "at the doubt" of NATO, "at the enemy" of NATO.
Only the middle would need influencing and possibly, blackmailing in order to shut them from speaking. It was often known that professors and large voices always had weak spots that could be used. No one would follow someone who cheated on their wife, or accepted a bribe, or worse, had child pornography in their computer.
Scheffner had a doubt about informing at some point the Finnish government. Either they would be pleased and find a way to counter NATO opposition. Or would be shocked and causing an international scandal giving even more credit to anti-NATO opinion.
It was decided that so long ATEO remained in soft information influence, spreading pro-NATO propaganda and eventually, sometimes, push bad voices away, the Finns would not even know what happened.
And so, NEBULOS was activated.

[sub]LIBYAN ARAB JAMAHIRIYA | TRIPOLI, 2022 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| MINISTRY OF DEFENSE, BAB AL-AZIZIA - باب العزيزية | Libya and Chad have long been at odds with each other following countless border skirmishes, the 1978-1987 Chadian-Libyan Conflict, and the 1987 Toyota War. These tensions have always remained throughout the years since but have re-escalated recently with ethnic Chadians residing inside Libya causing violence with Libyan military personnel, border guards, and village police. In the Libyan village of Al Jawf on September 14 2022, a group of ethnic Chadian males proceeded to overwhelm a Libyan Arab Army officer and beat him to death, stealing his 9mm handgun in the process and shooting at ethnic Libyan bystanders in the village. The group was quickly put down by other nearby Libyan soldiers, however the event has forced the hand of the Brotherly Leader Colonel Gaddafi to deploy additional Libyan Arab Army personnel to the area otherwise known as the Kufra District. A total of 3,000 Libyan soldiers and several armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, including recently upgraded T-72 tanks have deployed and have began rounding up ethnic Chadians and throwing them into what the Libyan government is calling "internment camps". These efforts to protect Libyans have proven successful for the Gaddafi regime, although it comes at the price of hundreds if not thousands of ethnic Chadians whom are secretly being tortured and killed in the camps which have very little food or water for the detainees. Libyan State TV and Libyan State Press have been barred from the Kufra District as the Libyan government attempts to hide it's actions in the region. | [/sub]

FOREIGN MINISTRY: FRANCE MOURNS FOR SPAIN'S LOSS (Ranponian)
[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2022 [/sub][/list]
[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | As news of King Felipe IV's passing reached across the border into France, the Government and French people have stood in solidarity and mourned with the Spanish people. The loss of one of Spain's greatest modern day monarchs is something all French people including President Macron feel deeply saddened by. King Felipe IV helped shape Spain into a modern day nation which has brought forth many contributions to the European Union, NATO, and so much more. We can only hope that Princess Leonor of Asturias will be a righteous and benevolent monarch as her father was and the French Government wishes her a steady, successful, and long reign. | [/sub]
