Artevenia for WAD | Artevenia for CPO | Artevenia for CLO

Hello, everyone. I am running for a fourth term as Chief Personnel Officer. My record is clear: I have recruited 576 nations since January 2021, of which 35 are still are in Lands End. I have sent a total of more than fifty-seven thousand telegrams.

I am also running for the position of CLO, because I believe that I can bring my leadership into this position. I intend to regularize bylaws as well as bring leadership to RP Moderation.

Should I be elected CLO, I will choose the CLO position. Otherwise, should I only be elected to CPO, I will continue to serve as CPO.

I am also running for WA Delegate (which I can hold as CPO or CLO), as I plan to bring my leadership there also. Endorsing me is easy: Simply go to Artevenia and scroll down. Click "Endorse Artevenia".

Kath Queen Nara dies

The Queen of Kathricore, Nara, has died. Now, considering the circumstances, this is very suspicious, but not too surprising. After all, crazy things do happen in dark, mysterious cults, and other kinds of cults as well, as the recent incident with the Order of the Temple of Apollo shows.

Mysteriously, the King of Kathricore has also abdicated, leaving him to be succeeded by Alek. This is very mysterious indeed, showing that the Kath cult is nothing more than a dark, opaque organization that can never be trusted.

2025 Parliamentary Elections

Closer to home, the parties are already campaigning for the 2025 parliamentary elections. The Liberals, as usual, will talk about their record in government. The Democratic People's Party will also talk about the Liberals' record in government.

The Social Democrats of course will have their usual campaign to expand services and so forth.

The National Front is on a ramble lately, shouting that Artevenians will be replaced soon by a flood of foreigners if they aren't elected.

The Communists will try to win more seats as usual. Perhaps this time they will be in government and commence the revolution.

A day after the Estarusian government had legalized gay marriage, today the government announced 'you can merry literally whoever you want, and by literally I mean literally.'

Estarus Examiner Headline: UPDATES ABOUT THE ESTARUS-NORMIANM WAR

Lately the war has been a stalemate but a major blizzard went in Estarus and killed hundreds of Normianm soldiers. This has caused the government to take back most of its territory. Little people were killed on the Estarus side however. This is because Estarus's climate is mostly Taiga and the people, including soldiers, have adapated to the weather and know how to survive blizzards. The Estarus government has also stated that it would agree to peace talks if Normianm does.

In a poor neighborhood, in the city of Pentagram.

That night several police cars were parked in front of a house where a murder appears to have taken place. Police officers and forensics were working everywhere investigating the body and the entire house, Detective Carlos Jackson who was in charge of investigating the case arrived at the scene seeing the scene.

Detain Carlos: What happened here? I had a date today.

Policeman: He was tortured to death, his name was Ethan, died around 3am on the 25th, he worked as a security guard for a Hazbinian Mafia family.

Detective Carlos: So the rival family did this to send a message?

Investigator Erick: I'm sorry to inform you that you're wrong, I'm Investigator Erick Santos from the Imperial Police and I'm taking over this case.

He introduces himself showing Imperial police license. Detainee Carlos showed his displeasure by looking at the Investigator.

Detective Carlos: But what are the Imperials doing here? This was just a fight between mobsters...

The Investigator interrupts him shaking and saying coldly.

Investigator Erick: Unfortunately no, who did this was the serial killer Juliet Evans the Overlord of the blood, if they do the autopsy they will find nails in his throat and in his stomach. The question is why she came for the Ring of Pride I need to find out soon if I want to capture her.

He looks for a moment at the detective and speak.

Investigator Erick: Can you take care of the reporters? I'm going out the back...

Detective Carlos: Seriously, why does something so problematic appear here in the city of the Pentagram? And how am I going to get rid of these reporters that are already starting to appear?

Voidborne Empire announces support for the Slaver Defense alliance over concerns of "radical abolitionists"!

They have initiated communication with the Alliance and have requested to sign on:

"Greetings to the Slaver Defense Alliance we are the Voidborne Empire and we seek to join your alliance!

Despite the fact that our nation finds the notion of sapient lives being considered as property as in many forms of slavery abhorrent,

we nonetheless value specific forms of slavery and utilize prison labor and the market exchange of shares for portions of time having prison labor performed.

We believe our system to be if anything far more kind than the designs of those opposed to slavery and so in the interests of such things as safe reintegration of prisoners into society and insuring lower taxes for our citizens we embrace the so called Evil and celebrate the immoral and unethical!"

Slavery in the Voidborne Empire was also described as being:

"Technically legal and commonly used as punishment for crimes and debts, for the value and time ordered in court."

The Voidborne Empire has also announced that they do not intend to leave their region in support of the Alliance, but urge any fellow users of prison labor to consider offering support to the economic and military protection against "radical abolitionists".

The conspirators made up numerous sections of the Estates General, with the most well known being Rasko Fadar-Markovic, son of the late King Rasko II.

Under this information, the Regent’s Rite, supported by the d’Gor’check Drachma and her sister agencies have disbanded the Estates General and authorized a state investigation into the accused.

The Raid

11:34 PM, April 25th, 2022

Athenia Fifth Precinct Station, Tussia

Five men sat in a van. They all wore bullet proof vests, on top of other body armor, and Relykstrana made altyn helmets.

“Are you all ready?” One of them, most likely their leader, asked.

The other men all looked at each other and nodded. They got out of the van, the men being armed with RPR LMGs (assuming the name of the Relykstrana RPK) with RA-47s slung over their shoulders, for when the RPRs ran out of ammo and walked towards the station. There was little to no foot traffic, besides one woman who instantly saw the men and began to back up. The men went to the front doors as a couple officers looked up. One of the officers was about to yell before the men fired into the station, breaking the glass in a few shots as it was not made to withstand the 7.62 bullets. The men walked through the now broken glass as most of the officers were now dead, with alarms blaring. One officer managed to hold himself up, having been shot a few times in the torso, and fired off a few rounds from his pistol but they did nothing against the vests the men were wearing. It took a couple rounds for the officer to be killed.

Meanwhile, in the prison transfer, a few officers unlocked a couple specific cells and grabbed duffel bags filled with bulletproof vests and rifles. The officers were secretly HWLF fighters and the prisoners, arrested on seemingly minor crimes, were also set-ups. The men quickly went towards their objective. A group of officers, having grabbed rifles from the armory, were running down the hallway when the fighters ran into it as well. The fighters were more alert and two quickly crouched down as they fired, quickly gunning down the surprised officers. Three ambulances pulled into the alleys behind the police station as the five initial attackers took contact, one of them being killed by an officer with a rifle that penetrated his helmet, taking the man down quickly as he laid there slowly dying. The infiltrating attackers got to the armory after taking minor contact, two of them being killed by an officer with a shotgun, and the duffel bags were filled up and taken to the ambulances who soon drove off, taking most of the prisoners with them. The undercover attackers made their way to the security station, killing the officers there and wiping the footage. One of them shot the other two before shooting himself in the foot, making it seem like the five attackers got into the room with them.

The attackers killed eight more cops before escaping in an ambulance themselves. The TSOC officers who arrived were confused as to how the station was taken out, with an investigation being started immediately as to how five attackers cleaned out the armory.

WHY SHOULD I VOTE FOR YOU?

I have been in office for four terms (not consecutively) as CCO, and as the current CCO is leaving, I feel like it’s time I came back to LE government after two years. I genuinely really enjoyed serving LE as their CCO, and I would like to serve you all in government again! I have the experience, and I’m active both on discord and Nationstates.

HOW DO I VOTE FOR YOU?

When elections open, you’ll receive a telegram from Tesdai,

who is our secretary of the board with instructions on how to vote. If you don’t receive one, double check that you’re on the shareholder list! (Link is here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1308027)

URGENT MESSAGE TO THE SURROUNDING NATIONS

As some of you may know, the evil & corrupt regime of Authoritism is attempting to recall all citizens who escaped during the chaos of the previous days.

They are not being welcomed home. They are being mutilated, killed, and sent to many hidden penal colonies where they will be tortured even further.

We cannot continue these actions brought forward by the nation; that is why we, the citizens, have formed the Authoritismian Underground Liberation and Emancipation Movement (A.U.L.E.M.)

Whether it be through peace or through bloodshed, there will be one definite outcome: Victory. Victory for the A.U.L.E.M, and the emancipation of all Authoritismen from decades of tyrannical autocracy and slavery.

We wish the democratic world a strong future, and the freedom of all human beings.

Declaration of the Commonwealth of Biggonia

Today, the unrecognised state formerly known as the Principality of Reisburg, has reorganised into the Commonwealth of Biggonia, after having smuggled former Empress Ricardina Tallandos in from abroad to become their figurehead leader. Observers believe that this is because the Reisburg leadership recognises that they will be executed for treason anyways should they lose, and are therefore taking any chance they can get at victory. Inviting Ricardina to become Empress again will be a way to rally support from all across the political spectrum, as well as support abroad. In a hasty ceremony, Ricardina was once again declared Empress of Biggonia.

The ramifications of this action are extraordinary for the war overall. Since the Commonwealth have now stated their wish to defeat the Imperial Army and reform the government, most are now considering it a proper Biggonian Civil War, the first of its kind. The Commonwealth will be able to pull support from liberals, socialists, and even absolutists or simply those who wish to see the 'rightful' ruler returned to the throne. In fact, unconfirmed reports say that the Imperial High Command is now weary to deploy Tallandic troops into combat for fear of defection, but this is unlikely, seeing as Talland is the largest contributor to the IBA.

For now, however, this has left little immediate effects. Whilst she is the official head of state, most of the decisions are still conducted by the various nobles of Reisburg, who lead the military. The Commonwealth continues to lose ground in the east, whilst holding their advanced positions in the west. It is certain, however, that Empress Ricardina will attempt to create some reforms to this system, which gives her a more active role in leadership and also makes effective use of her ideological supporters.

Afternoon everybody, I hope everyone is having a good Sunday evening/night. I am here with a wonderful announcement - I'm back baby.

For those that don't know, I hung up my NationStates' Cap and called it a wrap with being in Office last August, and when I broke the news to the CEO at the time, Bonnie Blue Republic, I was told:

"You never really retire from this place."

Enough storytime, allow me to share my resume:

- Inaugural CRO/CPO

- 3x CLO

- 3x COO

I have a few things planned out should I be elected CLO, and I will gladly share more when the time is right. For now, I just wanted to get my foot in the door and start the campaign trail once more.

The New Munich Sentinel - Socialist Victory on The Awesometonian Horizon?

5/01/2022

With Awesometonian elections this June the Free Market Movement (FMM) are still divided in the poles on which candidate to choose. Current poles show current president Steve Jobs with only 42% of his party's support, most likely due to his inability to reprivatize the markets in his short 4*-month term thanks to the National Socialist Party (NSP) controlled senate and slim control of the house of representatives. This has led to Albert Smith to lead with 53% of the FMM's support, although this is still compared to Thomas Johnson, the vice president of William Guiness, of the NSP with 84% of his party's vote. This trend in the poles indicates a NSP victory. *So far.

CROWN Prince Ethan has recently enlisted in the Tussian Imperial Army, not as an officer but rather as an enlisted personnel; which is an oddity amongst Tussian royals, especially since the Prince is the heir to the throne if his brother were to die.

Reporters managed to catch up to the royal as he was leaving the Palace to go to basic training and, upon being asked why he enlisted, his response was that "he wanted to show soldiers that royals aren't afraid of fighting alongside their men".

It is not uncommon for Tussian Royalty to enlist, but it is uncommon for them to enlist as typical enlisted soldiers and not officers; although it is said Anton also had similar plans to his brother but he became Emperor before he could. It is rumored that Crown Prince Ethan is preparing to be a tank crewman.

As we approach ever so closer to election season, here’s a friendly reminder that I’m running for CCO and would really appreciate it if y’all voted for me.

WHY SHOULD I VOTE FOR YOU?

I have been in office for four terms (not consecutively) as CCO, and as the current CCO is leaving, I feel like it’s time I came back to LE government after two years. I genuinely really enjoyed serving LE as their CCO, and I would like to serve you all in government again! I have the experience, and I’m active both on discord and Nationstates.

HOW DO I VOTE FOR YOU?

When elections open, you’ll receive a telegram from Tesdai,

who is our secretary of the board with instructions on how to vote. If you don’t receive one, double check that you’re on the shareholder list! (Link is here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1308027)

Thank you for your time, and here’s to a good election cycle!

Hey there y’all! Happy election season! I’d like to put out a couple reminders really quick while I’m here:

1 - Make clear who you’re voting for exactly what in the ballot! It’ll help TESDAI when she’s counting the ballots if she doesn’t have to try to figure out who you’re voting for what.

2 - Make sure you don’t pull a Spokane/Slovak, and hit ‘Send to All’ on accident when you’re submitting your ballot.

3- Be civil! There’s no need to kick up tension in LE just because your preferred candidate didn’t win.

And that’s all! I’ll see ya folks at the end of Elections season!

Creation of the 'United Command for the Liberation of Biggonia'

Today, Empress Ricardina of the Commonwealth of Biggonia created the United Command for the Liberation of Biggonia, shortened as UCLB. The UCLB is supposed to bind together both the Reisburg army, composed of regulars, with the various militia and resistance groups which now find themselves under the banner of the Commonwealth. In order to differentiate Reisburg's troops from other commonwealth units, as well as possible defecting divisions from the Empire, the Reisburg army is now marked as "those who were recruited and equipped in the territories of the Principality of Reisburg."

At the same time, the Commonwealth Army has been formed. This is all soldiers who are part of units formed by the commonwealth and not from Reisburg. Currently though, this army only exists in name. Therefore, the UCLB has 3 branches; the Reisburg branch, the Commonwealth branch and the Irregular branch. Organisation and communication still seems to be a large problem, but Empress Ricardina believes that by placing herself at the top of all the command chains, she will be able to enhance cooperation.

Politically, this move enhances the Empress' power from figurehead to a more active role. Once the commonwealth begins recruiting from occupied territories, especially those in Grenzland, Ricardina will also have military power she can wield herself in the event of a crisis. Most Reisburg generals and nobles, however, recognise these are necessary concessions for their own survival.

Earthern-Estarusian Government Meeting

The Earthern and Estarusian Governments held a meeting on 4 May, 2022 to discuss about strengthening bilateral ties between both the nations and about increasing co-operation in the military and industrial sectors. According to Earthern Government officials, the two-hour long talks, held at the Brahmandapur Karyalay building, went very well and were followed by the signing of the Suvarnapur Treaty by Estarus to join the MCTO.

Earthern Prime Minister, Beet Joshibearia, who held the talks, told reporters that Earthern companies were invited by the Estarusian Government to set up new infrastructure projects in Estarus and that taxes on fish imports from Estarus would be reduced. Estarus's accession to MCTO will also result in increased co-operation between Earthern Alliance and Estarus in military research and development. Earthern Defence Minister Hattu Joshibearia has told that the Earthern Alliance is also ready to sell Earthern aircraft to Estarus to help strengthen its air force.

Port Prichalibirsk, Relykstrana

6 May, 2022. 0200 Hours, Local Time

It was a pretty normal night, all things considered. A grainer, headed West, had cleared the harbor about an hour prior, dodging traffic thereby. There was nothing major expected in before daylight; couple of small craft of course but nothing anybody really had to worry about.

It wasn't even anything particularly high-end, either. Just a little forty-foot fishing boat, registered to a local businessman. Ordinarily they wouldn't even have done a deep inspection, but there was nothing else going on tonight and the guy had been an jerk on the radio. The Navy Lieutenant in charge of the customs party asked the crew to vacate the craft, and present identification; one of them promptly did, providing of all things an Artevenian passport; the other two were unable to provide much of anything, and as such all three of them were promptly escorted off to a "Waiting Room" while Navy personnel attempted to resolve the issue of who in the world they were.

In the meantime, two customs officers and a LifeBoat Service Petty Officer boarded the craft; the latter to check seaworthiness and the former to check, well, Customs Things. As they approached the door into the aft cabin, however, it was thrown open, and somebody inside held down the trigger on a submachine gun. Relykstranan Customs Officer First Class Lari Salkova was killed instantly; her partner, Officer Antonovich Erdeli, had time to grab frantically for his radio mic before he, too, was shot to pieces. LifeBoat Service PO2 Leonid Merkulov grabbed for his own radio and his sidearm as he ran for the gangplank; his shouted alarm, and Erdeli's hotmiced burst of automatic weapons fire, would send security forces scrambling.

Merkulov, too, would be cut down by the mysterious assailants as the boat's engines roared to life and somebody on board cut the ropes, freeing the craft to make a hard turn to port and begin to make a run clear of the harbor. To attempt such a run, anyhow - even as they began to pick up speed, shore militia were scrambling aviation and a Navy jetboat turned their direction at speed. Her crew had no intention of taking prisoners.

Frantic phone calls and messages were passed; the Captain in charge of Naval Station Prichalibirsk was awoken and it took her about thirty seconds to go from barely awake to furious, authorizing deadly force even as the first shots were fired between the aforementioned jetboat's crew and whoever the hell was on that fishing boat. A running gunfight would ensue, at twenty-six knots; bullets pinging off the jetboat's superstructure and the fishing boat's aft cabin and steerhouse. Somebody on the fishing boat was injured; the blood was visible when the spotlights hit it right, but those on board didn't stop.

In fact they seemed determined to escalate. When the spotlight next caught one of those onboard he was holding an RPG-7; the boat hit another trough in the water but when it rose again he fired, sending a rocket through the railing around the jetboat's aft deck, missing one of the sailors thereaboard by only a few inches. With that, the jetboat's commander made the decision to break off; it surged ahead and away, opening the distance even as small arms fire continued.

Unbeknownst to those on board; escalation suited the Relykstranan Navy just fine. The destroyer Incarnate was moored within easy gunnery range of the fleeing fishing boat; her aft missile system was already tracking, just waiting to be given the go-ahead... And now it came. While the missiles she carried may well have been intended for anti-aircraft work they were more than capable of blasting small craft to pieces, and so they did. Two missiles, because the operator had been... More than friends, with Officer Salkova.

As for the three crewmen who had allowed themselves to be escorted away from the vessel by customs officials? That Navy Lieutenant had put a pistol to the head of one of them and demanded to know what was going on. His frantic admission of arms shipments and cocaine onboard was rewarded with handcuffs and being unceremoniously thrown to the ground.

One thing was for sure... A quiet night, this was no longer.
