A good day for Tussians at TusVideo stadium, as they beat Pais-Sukoku 9-3. Tussia started of strong scoring 6 points in the first 4 innings, this crucial blastoff from start would results in a strong win for tussia. Tussia remains favorites to win the tournaments, and the reality grows closer.
Tayichians also had a good day, as they beat New Aberoca 6-4. The game may have looked close but there was never a doubt that tayichi would win. Despite earlier doubts in the round of 16, Tayichi continues to thrive as a team.

The Economic Alliance of Developing Nations
This afternoon the foreign ministries of the Kingdom of Micalandia and the Kingdom of North Bardonia have jointly announced the creation of a new international economic alliance to bolster both nations (and all future members) economies. The Katus Accords, which has been in the works for three weeks has finally been announced with the general points being as follows:
-Each member state will contribute 0.03% of their GDP per year to the organisation to spent in bolstering trade infrastructure and other projects funded by the EADN.
-Each member state is prohibited from placing Tariffs or Taxes on any export from member states.
-Each member star is entitled to 10 seats on the new Assembly (which votes on the President) and has the ability to appoint committee members for its committee that decide on projects.
-To join the EADN the Assembly if the EADN must except the incoming nation via a simple majority vote.
The new economic alliance is seen to be a great booster to the economy of nations that will and have joined the alliance. Many hope this will begin a new era of global economic prosperity.
Glad to know, I'm fine too!

The economic status of Grenzland
On paper, and indeed on the ground in much of Biggonia, the Civil War seems to not have had made a significant in dent in the Biggonian economy. Whilst it is true that the Biggonian economy was roughly one-third smaller in 2023 than it was in 2021, representing roughly £600 Billion in GSP, this was not as bad as many forecasters had believed. Much of the reduction to Biggonia's GDP simply comes from a dramatic fall in business confidence, and consumer demand, as many simply households stockpiled money during the Civil War for fear that the war might spread to their homes and destroy their properties. In terms of lost territories, the combined total of both the Domlandian State and Domlandian Social Repubic is just £45bn, demonstrating the miniscule impact which secession has had on Biggonia from a purely financial basis. The newly introduced Krone currency has already made significant inroads into Ivasburg, Kudestadt and much of eastern Suddereich, and in those provinces the road to economic recovery already appears to be paved with gold.
However, this optimistic news merely underlines the regional inequality which has been dramatically exacerbated by the Civil War. Grenzland has been truly ravaged by the war, with much of the combat taking place across the province or its immediate neighbouring prefectures, severely damaging the economic ties with neighbouring provinces. This is made worse by the fact that the most economically productive region of Grenzland, Reisburg, has been allowed to secede from Grenzland and form a province all of its own. They have taken much of the province's industry and economy, meaning that the province's own tax revenue has now been drastically reduced. Worse still, the Grenzland refugee crisis continues, with roughly 5 million of Grenzland's 32 million people estimated to be refugees in other Biggonian provinces, whilst 8 million are internally displaced, a fancy word for homeless. Additionally, 56% of Grenzland's adult population are now women, due to death and an overly large number of men becoming international refugees due to increased economic opportunities abroad. This is especially bad for Biggonia, where traditional gender roles are frequently reinforced and women make up a smaller proportion of the workforce. These factors have all come to create severe economic difficulties for the agriculturally-based provinces.
This is not to say there is not a light at the end of the tunnel. To begin with, as refugees from across Biggonia return to their own provinces and refugees abroad gradually come back to Biggonia, Grenzland's workforce is expected to return to sustainable levels. Additionally, gradual repairing of crucial infrastructure and the return of most pre-war economic activities should bring a sense of normality back to province. Despite this, a complete modernisation of Grenzland to bring it up to the same standards as Biggonia's other provinces will require extensive government legislation from Shurdorf. This is already underway, as on Tuesday Grenzland released a whole raft of new laws aimed at increasing female participation in the workforce, particularly by increasing their independence and making it easier to access family planning equipment.
On Friday evening, Prince Ivas held his first ever large scale public appearance at a press conference, with the intention being to cool the heads of investors and civilians across Grenzland. Previously, the young Prince has simply communicated via his social media and through his government, however this represents the first time he has made an actual speech. We send him our congratulations for this accomplishment. In his speech, his Highness said that Grenzland aims to take advantage of depressed wages throughout Grenzland to stimulate industrial growth and investment, and will be therefore lowering investment taxes. Furthermore, he said that the recovering demand for agricultural products in Biggonia presents an exciting opportunity for a short-term economic boom in Grenzland's agricultural sector, however he stressed that it is essential that Grenzland move away from the economically inefficient kolkhoz system of collective farms which had made up the backbone of their economy before the war. He also encouraged consumers across Biggonia to 'buy Biggonian' rather than buying imported agricultural products, in order stimulate growth throughout the nation once again.

Hansa got payback on North-Bardonia, beating them 7-3 at the stadium of the Pantheon. The win was captivated by a good performance by Hansa defensively, only allowing 3 points by North-Bardonia. Hansa also scored that exact amount, 3 points, in the 6th inning, which helped push them to victory.
Papalania has sealed their spot in the semi-finals with a 5-4 win against Thauto States. It was a close match, with both teams going back and forth on points. However, in the last inning, Thauto failed to score enough points to stay in the game, and they fell short of Papalania. The Thauti team will have to cope with being eliminated from the competition.

At TusVideo stadium Tussia beat País Sukoku 9-3, as they remain the only team not to lose a game to this point. Tussia came out with a blast in the first inning, scoring 3 points. That same number is all that País Sukoku would be able to put up against Tussia. This win will push Tussia to the semi-finals.
Tayichi beat New Aberoca 5-2 which will also push them to the semi-finals. Both teams did not score much, but Tayichi's strong performance in the 5th inning, where they scored 3 points, which was more than New Aberoca could muster through the entire match. This will put Tayichi against Tussia in the semi-finals, which will look to be one of the most exciting matches so far.

Elvira and Nikolas were in the basement playing video games with Carlman and Viola. It was about 8 PM now as they checked the time. Suddenly, down the stairs came Jonatan and Aretas. Carlman smiled and said, took you two long enough! I heard about the commotion you guys caused at the parish Sunday.
Jonatan smiled as Viola tossed him and Aretas a beer, indeed. To tell the truth, I always despised Father Andrew. He was a snake from the start. To expect such a thing from a veteran, he said as he hopped on the couch next to Elvira, I call the next round against the winner, aka Niko.
Elvira giggled as she elbowed Jonatan and continued to play, well, maybe if you guys listened and brought extra controllers and a console we could all play, hm? She said teasingly.
Jonatan looked at Aretas, aye Taz, the stuff is in my truck, can you go and get it?
Aretas nodded as he sipped the beer, yeah Ill go get it. He walked up the stairs and went outside to see two guys crouched on the side of Jonatans truck spray painting it.
Hey! Stop that! Aretas yelled at the two of them as he tossed the now empty beer can, hitting one of them in the back of the head.
Oh sh!t! One of the guys yelled as they both ran in different directions. Aretas chased the closest one about twenty yards before tackling him to the ground and ripping the bandana to reveal who it was.
Trophimos? Aretas said, looking down at the now scared Trophimos. Trophimos took a swing at Aretas, which landed right on his face. Trophimos then threw Aretas off of him and bolted. Now, Jonatan and Carlman ran out the front door with Elvira and Viola in tow.
Jonatan looked at his truck and cursed, damm!t! Now I have to get that sh!t off! He said as he looked at the bright red Heretic spray painted across his passenger door.
Aretas walked over, holding his cheek, Trophimos has a helluva punch, bastard caught me off guard.
Viola rushed to Aretass side, bloody Theos! Are you ok?
Aretas chuckled, just get me a cold beer to put up to this.
Carlman grabbed the bags with the controllers and consoles before nodding his head to direct them all back inside, lets just get back to games. We can get our revenge later.
A twisted smile appeared on Jonatans face as he looked at the spray paint before his face went back to normal, yeah lets get back to gaming.
