It was all over now. Kahilo wanted to separate and Kīto could not do anything about it. He was under a lot of stress because of the earthquakes. The sanctions were not helping either. He had to do something, but what? If he attacked them, people would be very angry at him, but he couldn't do nothing. For now, his 'Okai advised to stay calm and don't do anything.
The Kingdom was imploding in on its self. People were nervous and angry. A diplmot (ha) by the the name of Tzuyu would come back to Dolplandia after she was done with her assignment in Biggonia. During her assignment, she was introduced to all of the authoritarian ideas of the Empire as well as the democratic Commonwealth ideas. She brought back a sense of the reality that stood in front of her, in front of Dolplandia. She would be the first member of the DPTC, the first of many.

People's Watch Given Permission for Raids
08/04/2023
REPUBLICAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION
Minister Ethan Schmidt recently struck a deal with the Minister of Justice, his close friend Julius Corneliu, to give special permission to the People's Watch for raids on possibly violent Sturmist cells within Osrelia. About five hundred Watchmen have been given special training by the Republican National Police in anticipation of these raids.
Minister Ethan Schmidt has told the RBC that he will give us exclusive access to reports on these raids.

General 'Ikailo was setting up his junta in Lani Loha. He gathered his men for a battle, "It's time to fight for a better Dolplandia! 'Akali! 'Awaso!" He smirked and looked at his soldiers. He went into hiding after the coup with a few of his men and their families over in Lani Loha and Mā'auhi. He kept in touch with a few bases, most notably the one near New Coral City. It was a good defensive position for them. They could also work with Kahilo. Create a protectorate with trading, then backstab them because they are taking away the original Dolplandia.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the nation, Tulōpulōku Manolilō'o were getting ready for a revolution of their own. They were a group of radicals that were actually responsible for the bombing of Shuto as well as the shooting of President Wei. 'Asotā Kikoihea and Taho Tālowea were working under the this group. They weren't lying when they said they were working for the crown. They were, but in an extreme sense. They wanted the crown to be less swayed to globalization and would do anything even revolt against them to achieve this. And that's what they were about to do...
In Pōkōha, Whīne, and Kolēpo, the Dolplandian Sturmist Union were gaining in people and power. Sturmism was not an unusual ideology in Dolplandia. Being brought over by the Tussians during the second red wave in Tussia, the DSU was established to spread Sturmism in Dolplandia. The DSU were slowly growing and becoming more accepted among the youth and working class. Initiatives such as unionization and youth work programs gave them an edge. They still were growing slowly, but they became more active during the coup. The earthquake, also, led to greater membership. The big cities were hotspots for these sturmists.
I'm your worst nightmare and your greatest dream.

The Dream
In all of my years of living, have I never fallen into such a slumber such as the one that had just preceded my current waking thoughts. I had somehow imagined a dream world, where the area between Tribia and Hooseria Magna was a country named Antarctican Immagrants. Antarctican Immagrants was misspelled due to the lack of educational background in it's leadership, and the land it occupied was covered in revolt and hellfire. I asked myself "how could such a place exist, and so vast in my mind".
I immediately wrote it down, but I had laughed at it, it could only be a joke. A people of Hansan origin, settling in Central Vabas, cutting of the two largest powers in the region, how impossible. It though my dream, due to it's longevity, began incorporating the humor of my awoken mind, and created such an amazingly idiotic nation.
Even though I laughed I knew something felt odd, my room was warmer than usual, like the A/C hadn't been on in nearly a day, or never at all. And along with that, my textbooks on my dresser, read a familiar writing, but wait...
'Antarctican History Textbook'
Impossible! I could not believe my eyes, had I been hallucinating, was I ill, maybe it was a fever dream? But neigh, this was no hallucination, I had awoken not in a dream, in a nightmare, the thoughts of being transported to a far off land had come true, I would not be going to my hometown anymore.
I am going to Antarctican Immagrants!

"-The end of the Klarewaster dynasty would mark the start of a brutal civil war (1048-1055) in the pontifical empire. Since Stuart I died with no heir various claminents rose up. The castle in Neuserentina was filled with various cousins and distant relatives fighting each other. Neuserentina was filled with bloodshed as the city fought itself. To the north of Neuserentina was the ambitious Count Daniel of Elfman. In the mid eleventh century, Elfman was a relatively insignificant town but Daniel was a very popular ruler. After the death of Stuart Daniel started his campaign for the throne by capturing the city of Gallagher. Fighting the last of the non Neuserentinian Klarewasters, he captured the city of Gallagher in 1048. This marked the start of the Pontifical civil war.
Meanwhile the Duke of Badegard, Markus Devon de Badegard, had similar ambitions for the throne. Amassing an army the “Duke of the South” sailed up the Littenfluss and captured the town of Fortinbras (just south of Gallagher). Devon was very popular in the east and got most of his support there. However he did not control the river. In 1052 he marched to Neuserentina in an attempt to become the only king. However he was stopped in Rovell and retreated south. Daniel beat him to Neuserentina, capturing it in 1053. After capturing Neuserentina he marched south to defeat Devon and end the civil war. After a long campaign Badegard was captured in 1055 but Devon escaped to the duchy of Wustiech. However, he was ambushed just north of Ertiz and taken back to Neuserentina where he was beheaded."

Corvée system abolished
The Corvée system- an ancient law by which the state and local authorities reserve the right to utilise a person's labour in place of paying tax or national service- has at last been abolished in Grenzland. Grenzland was the last Biggonian province to abolish the Corvée system, with it never having been instituted in Seltsamia and abolished in 1913 and 1977 for Suddereich and Talland respectively, although by 1977 it was very rarely utilised. Most other Biggonian provinces had heavily criticised Grenzland for retaining the outdated practice, however the nobles and government of Grenzland felt that it was necessary to retain the chance of labour if it were necessary, believing that in the event of a crisis they could quickly allocate labour to areas worst affected and alleviate problems. However, the Corvée system has been proven to significantly harm Grenzland's economic development, reducing overall tax intake as well as slowing the rate of education and the emergence of a middle class.
Whilst the Biggonian Civil War appeared to be a perfect time for the Corvée system to be put into action, the young Prince Ivas has decided to abolish the Corvée system during the war. Many believe this is because of the weak political position of Shurdorf pre-war, with his regency council led by Elmina and Malwine Grenzer being unable to push through the reforms necessary to move Grenzland forward and make it more open to investment and economic growth. However, now that almost the entireity of Grenzland is occupied by Commonwealth troops sympathetic to his views, he has a monopoly on political power within Grenzland and can push through reforms as he pleases. Despite this, it is unlikely to have much impact on the immediate situation within Grenzland because the Prince's authority does not even extend to his own palace, which is currently under Commonwealth occupation.

Match I
Day I
17th Hellen Armored Division
Vs
29th Tussian Infantry Division
8/07/2023
The first match was the 17th Hellen Armored against the 29th Tussian Infantry. This was going to be a village-forest match where the 29th has to defend a village against the 17th. Due to the risk of harm, the 17th Armored Division's tank units are only permitted to use low velocity smoke rounds. Anyone caught within the smoke are considered "dead" and are no longer able to participate. Both teams only have one life per soldier. Due to numbers, the 29th Infantry was only allowed 5,000 men at the start and could send out the rest as reinforcements and quick responses forces with reinforcements only being permitted every eight hours after force contact and limited by up to 3,500 a wave.
Before the combat started, the 29th Infantry was given 14 hours, starting at midnight, to prepare defenses. They were given resources such as sandbags, barbed wire, tank traps, concrete barricades, and machine gun emplacements. Both sides are also permitted to utilize any support artillery they have but are only permitted to use smoke and flare shells. The rules for smoke shells are the same as the tanks of the 17th Armored.
The 29th Infantry decided their best course of action was to dig trenches and build a defense-in-depth strategy against the 17th Armored. By 11 am most of their positions were set up and at 2 pm the 17th Armored had set out. Their first maneuver was to send out scouts and begin surrounding the 29th Infantry from their headquarters and cut off any logistics. They were met with (obviously fake) mines that had taken out ten of their soldiers and small squads sent out to skirmish with any of their forces. By 2:30 pm the 17th Armored was down 23 men and 29th Infantry down 3. First contact was between scouts and the 29th at 2:17 pm.
The first major contact between the 17th and 29th was at 2:39 pm with the 17th sending out a small probing force in the southern parts of the forest against the 29th's first line of defense. The 29th launched three mortar strikes against the assaulted of the 17th but being mostly ineffective and only taking out 3 soldiers. The 17th's attack force consisted of 14 tanks and about 120 men being assisted by an indeterminate about of IFVs and APCs. The assault lasted until 3:12 pm when the 17th's forces withdrew to a safe position and attempted to suppress the 29th's forces for an artillery strike.
At 3:26 pm the 17th's artillery began pounding the 29th's position eliminating 26 men. The attacking force was then reinforced with another 300 men and at least 25 tanks and resulted with the 29th withdrawing about 300 feet to another defensive position. When the 17th moved up however, the 29th detonated multiple underground "explosives" eliminating 8 tanks and about 73 men. This and accurate mortar fire led to the 17th withdrawing its assault by 4:09 pm.
Knowing the south was the most vulnerable for the time being, at 4:51 pm the 17th launched a massive assault with most of its forces into the southern portions. However, the 29th got wind of this result by temporarily gaining access to the 17th's communications and heavily reinforced this. This assault met contacts at 5:05 pm. The combat was heavy and chaotic. This lasted for about four hours until 9:39 pm until the 17th withdrew from the assault knowing that 29th's reinforcements were likely soon to arrive. By the end of the assault, the 17th had lost 302 men and 13 tanks with the 29th losing 180 men.
At 10:12 pm the 29th were sending an Airborne QRF via helicopter as well as a land force. The QRF consisted of about 750 men set to land in the north and try to launch a small assault on the 17th's FOB while about 2,000 men with a large amount of IFVs attempted to assault the entrenched 17th assault force in the south.
At 11:19 pm the QRF landed while the reinforcements were just taking contact; being ambushed by an indeterminate force from the 17th. The ambush knocked out multiple IFVs and APCs with the 29th taking about 89 casualties before the ambushing force began to pull away. It took the 29th's reinforcements about ten minutes to reorganize and continue moving.
Unbeknownst to them, the 17th's assault force had moved to prepare to engage the 29th. When the reinforcements pushed up they were suddenly met by a barrage of fire and tank fire. Within the next hour, most of the reinforcements were dispersed into the forest losing most of its vehicle support and taking about 1,400 casualties. The 17th's forces took about 450 casualties and lost three tanks.
At 1:14 am the QRF assaulted the 17th's FOB. Within thirty minutes their assault ended having lost about 48 men with the FOB taking minor damage losing a few logistic vehicles and taking 50 casualties.

Despite preliminary campaigning for general elections in PaÃs-Sukoku traditionally beginning in the year before an election, so 2024, the Liberal Party has begun early this time. Despite not officially calling it an campaign trip, instead stating that they were on a 'political tour', it was clear to all observers that this was an attempt to get a head start on their rivals in the coalition during their moment of disunity. Gabriel Akemi, prominent Liberal MP and current frontrunner for the position of Shadow Prime Minister (preferred candidate in the case of an electoral victory) has announced a trip to visit the west of PaÃs-Sukoku, some of the areas which are worst effected by sanctions placed on Dolplandia thanks to the rising price of basic goods. Traditionally, the west has been the support base of the Social Democrats, however with most of the eastern cities like Wanmachi essentially secured, the Liberal Leadership have seen fit to begin upsetting this balance of power. Social Democrat President Eduarado Isenté has decried Akemi's visit as a purely political stunt and exploiting the poor during a time of struggle, however Akemi has instead called it bringing to attention important issues.

Republican Broadcasting Corportation
The RTBC logo, a black, red, and white stylized "RBC", flashed across the screen. The Thursday night news anchor, Willi Lafrenz, is seen. He is a stocky man in his mid to late 30s with black hair and blue eyes.
"Greetings, everyone. It is currently 6 PM Tussian time. As promised earlier this week, we are proud to start off tonight's broadcast with an exclusive report by Minister Ethan Schmidt. We will go to you live at the press booth."
The footage flashes to a podium just outside the Republican National Police Headquarters in Nikapolis. It is rather quiet for a press release being that the only reporters are from the RBC. Ethan Schmidt, looking much more lively compared to previous sightings of him, walks up to the podium.
"Good evening, everyone. Today I have gone through the reports on the Peoples' Watches latest strikes against the subversive Sturmist threats. Throughout this week, we have launched many raids arresting those who threaten our great Republic. As of now, I have confirmation of 267 arrests from the Watchmen. These arrests include the prominent Sturmist agita-" before he could finish, suddenly a gunshot was heared as Ethan recoiled in pain. Quickly, officers grabbed Ethan and brought him inside with reporters quickly ducking for cover and a few screams. An officer was overheard on his radio stating that there was likely a shooter somewhere on the street from a building.
The footage goes back to anchor Lafrenz who is shocked before he clears his throat, "it seems there was just an attempt on Minister Schmidt's life. We will release information as it is given to us.
At 8 PM, there was a news article released from the RBC stating that a shooter is in custody. A motive was found, and that being revenge for the recent arrests as the shooter was found to be a Sturmist sympathizer and was a member of the Workers' Party. Quickly, social media blew up in the Republics with outrage and many blaming the Workers' Party for this attempt; primarily due to Ethan Schmidt's popular amongst Tussians and especially veterans.

Days of Wrath Pt. I
With the recent assassination attempt and confirmations by the National Police of the attempted assassins ties to the Workers' Party, the Workers' Party HQ was recently stormed by a mob. There are reports that people ran through cars, smashed windows with bricks, and an unknown amount of people entered the building attacking staff members and anyone who was not part of the mob.
Republican authorities have canceled all incoming planes and placed the country on lockdown as this violence was not an isolated event. Across the nation Labour Unions have had their headquarters vandalized, burnt down, stormed, whatever. Known Sturmist politicians and high-ranking donors have been attacked or had their homes broken into. Even Republican Party politicians have been caught in this mass violence. It is currently unknown if this is organized in any way or just an unorganized response to the assassination attempt of Minister Schmidt.
An estimated 100 people have been killed with at least one thousand injured in what is being currently called the "Days of Wrath" by Republican media outlets.

Biggonia on the bring of collapse
With the Empire's offensive continually dragging on with no end in sight, unrest has begun to grow across Biggonia. Taking the form of rising crime, protests, and mutinies, this has caused massive disruption to the Biggonian armed forces. Some army units have completely stood down, refusing to keep fighting unless the Imperial government can prove that they are actively working towards a ceasefire with the Biggonian Commonwealth. In response to this, Lord Protector of the Biggonian Empire Gunther de Palmedorf has announced that he shall make a speech in an emergency session of the Imperial Diet in a few weeks time to disucss bringing the Biggonian Civil War to a close.

At the Kausihvat Airshow in Tacloban, Visayan International Airlines and Cebu Pacific have issued orders for TDAC's first wide-body airliner model TD969-600, currently in development, aimed at challenging similar offers to Boeing and Airbus in Hansa and the SCR. The -600 model of the TD969 is being designed to have a range of 13,450 km with a passenger capacity of 280 passengers in two-class layout (max. of 450), with the TD969 family eventually comprising of the -500 (max. 380) and -700 variants (max. 525).
The aircraft is pitched at the medium widebody market that is ripe for replacement in the years ahead as A330s and B777s produced in the 1990s and 2000s are widely operated by various Borealian airlines.
In particular, the SBR's biggest three carriers Visayan International (which ordered 78 of the TD969), Visayan Eastern and Cebu Pacific (which ordered 54 TD969s) having about 150 A330-200/300s between them. Add in the A330 fleets of Bohol Airlines, Visayan Southern Airlines, Daklanao Airlines and others and the figure quickly jumps above 200.
The CR969Â’s projected entry into service is expected in the 2027-2030 timeframe.
TDAC's 20-year market outlook published at the Kausihvat Airshow forecast a need for 7,745 new passenger widebody aircraft over the next two decades. Of those, 5,010 would be in aircraft with between 200 and 325 seats, while 2,735 would have more than 325 seats.
The SBR alone represented 680 aircraft, while the Borealian-Forsian region (excluding the SBR) was tipped to comprise 28 per cent of global demand at 2,173 aircraft.

Days of Wrath Pt. II
After a day of violence in Nikapolis, police finally cleared out the Workers' Party Headquarters in the city. What was left was practically ruins.
Desks were vandalized, bodies were left badly bruised, beaten, with many being tied up. Graffiti was all over the walls and many rooms were completely burnt out.
Meanwhile, there were still entire blocks of the city filled with protesters and rioters. In the last day there has been a few hundred thousands of dollars worth of damages with at least a hundred people killed with an unknown injured. Five hundred people have been arrested so far but the Republican National Police has deemed this too dangerous to make arrests. The police's current priority is to control the crowd and attempt to prevent any further damages to property and any more deaths.

Army in revolt
Sections of the Imperial Biggonian army, especially the Tallandic units, have begun revolting across Biggonia. While these are mostly isolated incidents for now which have been quickly supressed, there is a real fear that these revolts could spread to the rest of the Imperial Army and cause a complete mutiny, which would not only give the Commonwealth some much-needed breathing room but could also lead to a total breakdown in order across the Biggonian Empire and a fall to chaos and radical ideologies. Most mutinying soldiers simply request an end to hostilities with the Biggonian Commonwealth so the governments can once again focus on domestic issues and stop killing fellow Biggonians, however due to the indecision currently paralysing the Imperial Diet, it is unlikely that peace will be approved any time soon. Thanks to mutinies and stiff resistance put up by the Biggonian Commonwealth, the Imperial offensive has almost ground to a complete halt. Despite this, it has not been exploited by the Biggonian Commonwealth due to their almost complete lack of offensive-ready troops and heavy munitions.
Worse still for Biggonia, the Domlandian socialists have been able to expand their influence and zone of control. Thanks to unrest in Biggonia and distracted attention, the Socialists have been able to easily recapture communities, largely thanks to their integration of the remnants of the Domlandian National Army who have joined them. Many Domlandian Auxilaries and even left-leaning Biggonian soldiers have rebelled within their military bases to join the Socialists as they have spread all over the countryside.

They dashed to the militants as they continued to drag the frail yet fighting professors and pulled the professor away from the militants who they beaten and continued to attack them when the professor called the police. They escorted the militants away and sent him and those who fought to prison for the nightÂ… he will never forgetÂ….

Erich finished his remission of the past and focused on the present. He watched as the plains turned into suburbia, a sea of concrete and green lawnsÂ… That would have to changeÂ….
The Plane descended into CarthiadaÂ’s Edmund-Abdalll International Airport, Erich thought about his first moves, legitimacy and reformÂ…. YesÂ…. He shall stand by his beliefsÂ… Once the plane landed and as he prepared to exit he thought Here I StandÂ…. Here I RemainÂ….

*King Erich I, Act IV, The Vultures*
“Now Heaven Awaits for the Corporations and the Populace” the new Minister of Economy Hamad Elftor. Nearly a week after the coup in North Bardonia reform was in full swing. The economy was being repaired and a new currency the Krown-Sterling has now been introduced and should be available by September 1st… At long last a new age for North Bardonia, bless the Knowing, Erich thought.
Elftor continued “finally Prosperity and Progress may been instituted by the National Liberal Party and His Majesty Government. Once the new constitution is ratified we can *finally* repair the economy and our foreign relations and debt *and* eliminate those rebels…” Elftor and the new Minister-President Wilhelm Douglas-Arthur continued his briefing until 1:00.
Erich left and watched his ‘GeneralsÂ’ and ‘LoyalistsÂ’ thinking there are vultures, taking a vulnerable king for granted to exploit the nation. Only Greyclaw could be trusted. Only The Knowing could aid him. But he must act to maintain power. He needed allies and as they say ‘If you canÂ’t beatÂ’em joinÂ’emÂ’. He already seen the Geopolitics is a dangerous game, just look at the previous government. His must secure his regime, internally and internationally. A coronation was neededÂ… SoonÂ
While he waited and watched the vultures circleÂ… vultures always circleÂ… the vultures internally and internationallyÂ… only the Knowing knows those vulturesÂ

Biggonia reacts to events in North Bardonia
Responses in Biggonia to the recent takeover of the North-Bardonian government have been varied. Publicly, the leadership of the Biggonian Empire's response to the takeover has been muted, due in part to the current dissaray within the Imperial Diet, but also because of their previous support for the late Republic within North Bardonia. Therefore, the Biggonian Empire has not yet issued a statement as to the events taking place within the capital, however leaked video footage has shown select embassy staff being secretly evacuated from the building via Helicopter. In stark contrast, Empress Ricardina of the Biggonian Commonwealth has personally issued her congratulations towards the new King Erich I and stated that she hopes "King Erich's ascension to the throne heralds in a new era of cooperation and development for the Penitusian sea."
In other news, while the Imperial's offensive has been essentially brought to a halt in the past few weeks, a flurry of combat has taken place along the front line and within Imperial territory. Despite this, most of the instigators of the combat were clearly not NLA, and were instead simply Commonwealth-aligned leftist militias. Despite their actions being unsupported by the larger Commonwealth army, thanks to the current state of Imperial logistics and low morale on the frontlines, they have been surprisingly effective at sowing confusion within the Empire. Guerrillas who were captured stated that they were part of the 'People's Revolutionary Movement', and described their current actions as "the culmination of the Long War." The Long War is a name often used by militant leftists in Biggonia to describe their ongoing low-level insurgency which had taken place in the decades following the Great War.

*King Erich I, Act V, The People*
Walking through the bombed out streets of Carthiada Erich watched repair works continue, the stock market and the Kentral Bank seemed intact but the Archives, the Grand Central Station *and* the Great Halls of the Knowing all were severely damaged and Erich priorities were focused on the Knowing and Progress.
Walking towards his King a boy of about 15 looked at Erich, a tall yet skinny man with wavy brown hair and brown eyes. The boy was wearing thorn and ripped clothes but continued to watch Erich. The boys name was Felix Nelmar, son of the dead diplomat Alexander Nelmar. He continued to watch the King.
Erich saw squalor and poverty were it would be riches and prosperity. Erich had some diplomatic recognition but he need more. He needed to secure his allies. Walking to the beautiful Halls of Parliament, with its iconic golden dome and the ‘Pool of Reflection’ it shined in the ruined city as one of the few buildings spared from destruction. He planed on building a massive monument for all those who suffered…. For it’s his people… his people he must care for… his people to restore…. His people….

Shattered - Part III
August passed by, but not without a bang. The Tulōpulōku ManolilōÂ’o was getting prepared for a war against the DSU. They wanted to destroy them before they got their hold on a territory. Kahilo and the Military Junta created a non-aggression pact, and were getting ready for their own "war"* against the kingdom. Tzuyu and the DPTC recruited a familiar face of Lucas Kasē^, the former President of Dolplandia to act as the executive head of the DPTC.
Also, during this month, President Wei flown from the Yuran Islands back to Hibiscus City to reclaim the presidency. He was still injured and had to walk on crutches, but to the Dolplandian people who still supported him, he would be symbol of hope to get back to some sort of normalcy. What would Dolplandia become? Would it go back to being the same or would it need to adapt?
*More of a killing of the King than actual war
^I had to change Lucas Dolp's name to something other than Dolp because it's weird to have your last name be the name of the language and a shortened form of the country's name.

The Times™️
With the coup in North Bardonia ending with a monarchist victory, voices inside the government calling for embargoes to a blockade. But most likely nothing will be done because of the upcoming election. With only 4 months until polling day it remains unclear if the National Democratic Party will stay in power with the economy slowing.
In other news, the infamous Lewis Black the feared bank robber was discovered dead in a police raid on a hotel near the national bank.

Mutinies Spread
With August drawing to an end and the rainy season once again beginning across Biggonia, most observers now consider the Imperial Offensive to have been an abject failure. Despite intelligence and leaks suggesting that the Commonwealth's army has been almost completely annihilated, the Empire has been unable to secure many meaningful victories to revitalise their flagging morale. Already, the months of the offensive as Biggonia began to drift further into anarchy has been nicknamed the 'Cruel Summer' because of rising costs, crime rates, and political turmoil. Despite this, the '10,000 Men Offensive', launched by the People's Revolutionary Movement around a week ago, has come grounding to a halt with most cells of the mysterious movement having been arrested. The Commonwealth has indeed confirmed that the PRM used to be a part of their army as a militia group however left their integrated command structure in mid-July, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'
The motivation between the PRM's actions is still confusing, however the action and turmoil gripping Biggonia has allowed the Domlandian Socialists to make even more headway, occupying more and more territory and launching several dangerous raids across the border. However, the Domlandian Socialists are unable to be able to capture Musainon through direct assault, not only due to the high density of more loyal Imperial forces but also because of the large number of Biggonian settlers present in the city and surrounding area who will deprive the guerrillas of their local support which they have relied on up until now.
One of the most shocking developments in Biggonia is the massive mutinies which have taken place across bases, particularly by Tallandic soldiers. Whilst they are not a unified movement, their one consistent demand is that the Empire immediately begin peace talks with the Biggonian Commonwealth and end the Civil War.

Mutineers present demands
The mutinies within Biggonia have become even more serious, as rebellious army units have begun the march towards local capitals. While their demands are myriad, they mostly consist of an immediate peace treaty with the Biggonian Commonwealth to preserve national integrity and prevent the further deaths of Biggonians. Another common demand is that peace be achieved throughout Biggonia so that Sturmists and Communists cannot take advantage of the chaos to gain power, and also so Domlandia can be reclaimed from the Socialist Guerillas. These demands have potentially been influenced by the National Syndicalist ideas spread throughout the Army by Tussian Troops, but also from their interaction with Atkeaism.
In response to the mutineers, very little fighting has taken place however due to how slow and disorganised they are it is believed that they will only reach Ivasburg by 11th September, and when they do that the garrison could easily be able to defeat them if they haven't already been crushed by that point. That being said, it remains to be seen whether the Imperial Diet would be willing to massacre their own troops in such a public display of apathy. To discuss the issue of the mutineers, the SIS has called an immediate closed session of the Imperial Diet, with attendance being mandatory and security for the event being paramount.
In other news, the leader of the PRM has once again emerged in a video circulating the internet, stating that the 10,000 Men Offensive was a 'roaring success' which has shown that the Biggonian Workers are still a force to be reckoned with. In the video, the masked figure stated that he was in fact the elusive 'Butcher of Shurdorf' and that he will soon make a public appearance to the world. In response to drills on the border, the command of the Imperial Army in Seltsamia has moved a small group of soldiers to keep watch and form a rearguard in case of any sudden action.

Kahilo, Star of the Lelōni Archipelago - Part I
The now fully independent Kahilo was in okay shape. Not too good, but not too bad. They just formed an alliance with General 'Ikailo's Junta to raid the island of Shi Miti. The junta would prove a valuable ally to Kahilo.
Kahilo started opening up trade ports and asking for trade. They were starting mint their own money, the Kahilo Noto (KN), but the DPY would still be in use while the KN was trying to circulate. Kahilo wanted to get Tayichi and Papalania to trade with them because of their valuable resources, and sent two of their "diplomats" to talk to them about trade. (If anyone else wants to trade with Kahilo just ping me)

POV: The year is 2037. You teleport into a book store and decide to read the new history book, written by a group of esteemed historians, on the Biggonian Civil War. This book is over a decade in the making and was took countless hours of interviews, eyewitness reports, and declassified files having to be compiled and cross-referenced. You flip to a part of the book you've always been interested in, the Coup d'etat staged by the SIS and Imperial Biggonian Army on the 3rd/4th September, 2023. Firstly, there is a blow-by-blow account of the raw facts of what actually took place on the night, before a more in depth analysis follows.
3rd September
1630: an announcement from the Minister for Information and Media's house states that he has suddenly been taken ill. In reality, he was captured by SIS agents and held under house arrest. The SIS assumes temporary control of the Ministry for Information and Media and sends out a bulletin to all broadcasters to softly play several selected songs in the background, with the intention of putting the public at ease. One of these songs, 'I love Biggonia's Heavenly Peace,' has since become synonymous with the coup as it was played on loudspeakers and throughout supermarkets over the week of the coup.
1803: The Imperial Diet's emergency session time elapses, and several members of the diet attempt to leave for the night. However, the Speaker for the House refuses to let any members leave the chamber and instead seizes all mobile devices, stating that they are a security risk. From this point on, the members of the Imperial Diet are almost completely in the dark about the night's events.
1807: The SIS and major news outlets collectively announce that bombs have been found in several train stations throughout the Ivasburg and Palmedorf. This means that both the Ivasburg and Palmedorf undergrounds are completely shut while security officers attempt to find more bombs.
1934: Tanks and Mechanised troops in barracks across Biggonia are put on high alert. They have been briefed beforehand on what each unit's role is to be. While the Lictors guarding the Imperial Diet are also supportive of the coup, the chiefs of both the SIS and Imperial Army do not trust them to keep their deal and are therefore prepared to immediately disarm the Lictors should things turn sideways.
1937: Due to the closure of the underground service, it is taking longer than expected for civilians to leave the government quarter. SIS officers and military police are deployed to direct civilians, sometimes forcibly, to leave the areas immediately, on foot if necessary. Hundreds of cars are left abandoned and have to be towed to keep the streets open for armoured vehicles later in the night.
2030: SIS officers and military police begin setting up barriers on the boundaries of the government quarter and forbid entry. News outlets in the local capitals report a "National Emergency" and announce that all cafés, restuarants and bars are to be closed immediately and that residents should stay in their homes. On virtually all social media platforms, analytical AI is activated in which any message containing the words 'Coup', 'Ivasburg', 'Palmedorf', 'SIS', or 'Imperial Diet' is flagged for immediate deletion.
2330: Exactly three hours after the National Emergency was first declared, Tussian, Biggonian and SIS soldiers leave their bases across Biggonia to begin occupying key targets. Lictors move into the Imperial Diet chamber and announce to the now exhausted and unaware Imperial Diet that they have been dissolved and that a caretaker government has been set up. The Speaker for the House signs a paper acknowledging that the Diet is no longer in session and legitimising the Junta. SIS agents also appear outside the Imperial Palace, Imperial Diet, and encircle all government ministries. Tussian and Imperial soldiers storm the Ivasburg docks and other transport networks to stop people coming in and out of the city. Similar events happen in other regional capitals and strategic cities like Southbridge. In Palmedorf and Agaragobha, some police officers attempt to resist however they are disarmed without any blood being spilled.
4th September
0013: Despite Ivasburg airport being closed to most travellers, a single flight is permitted to land from Southbridge containing Aaben Tallandos, Field Marshal and new head of government. He drives to the Imperial Diet and informs them of the current situation, before directing them to a hotel which has been requisitioned by the Security Forces for their imprisonment.
0125: A small crowd of confused and interested residents assemble outside the boundary of the government quarter, and begin asking questions about the national emergency. The soldiers at the boundary issue many warnings but some still persist, forcing the soldiers to eventually fire warning shots over the heads of the crowd and dispersing it.
0400: A social media bulletin is released explaining how the National Emergency is still in progress and that further information will be released at 8:30 AM. Most Biggonians wake up to this notification on their phones and when they switch on the TV most news outlets are simply trying to fill the block while waiting for 8:30
0830: Aaben Tallandos, newly annointed head of government and popular amongst both the military and people, makes an address to the nation all over the news. In his address, he condemns the indecisiveness and delaying tactics of pro-war factions within the Biggonian government, and announces the creation of a temporary caretaker government which will immediately begin negotiations with Empress Ricardina's Biggonian Commonwealth to end hostilities. He asks that, in the meantime, residents of Ivasburg and the local capitals should try their best to get on with their normal lives and to only go outside for essential trips such as purchasing food and going to work. However, he also states that for the rest of the week an employer may not use workplace absence as grounds for firing, essentially giving all residents an unpaid holiday. He also requests that mutineers immediately return to their bases in order to avoid further unecessary violence and bloodshed, which most of the mutineers comply with leaving only a scattered few to continue with their revolt. Several protests prop up in the capital however they are quickly crushed.

Kahilo, Star of the Lelōni Archipelago - Part II
The establishment of embassies in Tayichi and Papalania was the start of a new era for Dolplandia. Kahilo started slowly opening up to the world again. The Kingdom and Pres. Matthew Wei weren't too happy about it, but they had other problems at hand. Tzuyu and the DPTC were very supportive of Kahilo. They were doing the unthinkable and thriving for now and that gave the DPTC a morale boost.
But tension were rising. Tulōpulōku ManolilōÂ’o were still preparing to go to battle against SUD. They had to get their weapons through the black market and it was taking a while for it to be shipped. SUD were trying to get in contact with Sturmists around the globe with minimal luck.

I'm not one for fancy formatting so I'll keep this brief:
I, too, am running for Chief Personnel Officer.
There are many who would have your vote in this upcoming election.
Many of them are deserving.
I want to tell you here why I am moreso.
In the course of this region's history, I have served at all levels of government. I served for years as the Chief Executive Officer of the region; I have previously served as the Delegate and Chief Legal Officer as well.
Through it all, I have been recruiting.
I - personally - have sent more recruitment telegrams for Lands End than anybody else of whom I am aware.
I have supervised and been a key part of every major recruitment campaign the region has perpetrated since 2018.
So yes, I know a thing or two about how to get people here.
But that's not all the CPO does - no, they're also charged with retention and activity.
A role that I believe my historical record also demonstrates my capability for.
So, this upcoming election, I ask you to consider the above.
Consider everybody running.
And then make the right choice.
Thank you.

Armistices reached
Yesterday the caretaker government from the Biggonian Empire agreed to reach a ceasefire agreement with the Biggonian Commonwealth, under which all combat would stop for the near future. Despite this, several militias aligned with the Commonwealth have continued to fight against the Empire, particularly in contested urban areas. On the whole however, the fighting appears to have come to a halt. This has surely come as a relief to Biggonia's northern neighbours in the Republic of Paccai, who had recently mobilised around 8,000 soldiers and sent them to Biggonia's border as part of an exercise. In the capital of Ivasburg, Aaben Tallandos made a statement saying he was "incredibly grateful" to the trust which Biggonia and the international community has placed in him and his government to try and negotiate a peace treaty.
Today a landmark deal was also reached with the Domlandian Socialists, as Empress Ricardina from the Commonwealth helped broker a truce with the rebels, under which Biggonian occupation forces would begin withdrawing from the administrative province. Although many Domlandians hoped for a status quo ante bellum, it is clear that Biggonia would never allow this as they had already annexed several Biggonian-majority prefectures into their own provinces during the 20 year long occupation period.
In less happy news, the infamous 'Butcher of Shurdorf' has finally revealed his identity as Harald Schneider, 46. Schneider was born in Shurdorf to extreme poverty, experiencing the inequalities present in Biggonian society first-hand. To find a way out, Schneider decided to enlist in the Imperial Biggonian Army a few months before the invasion of Domlandia in 1997. Sometime in 1998, Schneider was promoted to the rank of sergeant despite his growing disillusionment with the Imperial Army and the government as a whole. Thanks to his background, Schneider had always possessed left-leaning sympathies. In 1998, Schneider's battalion was deployed to a particularly rebellious prefecture in the east of Domlandia with the intention of flushing out and finally defeating remnants of the Domlandian National Army (DNA). During this campaign, the battalion was ordered to commit horrendous atrocities to villages and civilians, which only made the situation worse as the DNA retaliated in brutal fashion. By the end of the campaign, only around 10% of the battalion's strength was deemed fit for combat, however when they refused to commit one more atrocity against civilian populations, the SIS was sent in to finish the job.
It is believed that excluding Schneider himself, his entire company was executed for treason by the SIS whilst Schneider was able to get away. In the years immediately following this, he would gather fellow deserters from the Biggonian Army to form the 'People's Revolutionary Movement' or PRM, which then moved west to Grenzland where they waged their guerilla war for the next 20 years. By the eve of the Biggonian Civil War, the PRM had grown to around 150 active militants, with several thousand informants and logisticians. However, the war led to a huge explosion in membership as not only did his group get more attention from people trying to overthrow the government, but also Schneider was able to employ his favourite tactic en masse which involved assaulting prisons with the intention of rescuing and conscripting its occupants. Although he initially began with political prisoners and petty criminals, by the end of the war it is believed he was employing murderers and psychopaths within his ranks.
Schneider has also published several shocking photos, one of which involves him sitting in a bomb-crater during the battle of Southbridge, surrounded by Imperial corpses. He and several other militants from the PRM pose triumphantly, with Schneider himself hoisting an enormous M249 machine gun.

Unification of church and state?
Long negotiations regarding the future of the church in governmental matters, finally came to an end after his Majesty Kaiser Siegmar von Hochberg II and the Supreme Pontiff of the "Holy Skeranic Pnontificial and Catholic Church" Augustinus Leuchtenstein came to an unanumus agreement. Both parties agreed to the implementation of an Integralist system, this some might say "radical"reform of government as being backed by the Kaiser the majority of the Reichstag (54%) and the church faced little opposition. This newly implemented governmental reform will bring the already strong cooperation between church and crown to a governmental level. The church is going to be from now on be included in matters of legislation, by being able to formulate policy proposals to the Reichstag and all social polecies having to align with church teaching.
Critics are calling this the decision: "a final blow against liberal values in this country" and a "return to feudalism". These allegations where quickly dismissed by the Imperial government. Wich stated: "This reform will ensure a moral and well functioning, and virtues sociaty for the decades to come"

The screens of thousands of viewers come to a port in Tayichi were viewers see three ships belonging to the IDSREO fleet, coming down a view of a female Officer wearing the cloths of a captain and a member of the Kronos VI Program speaks the audience “Hello, I am Captain Alinda Karina, Captain of the Sea Shepherd” she indicates to the ship behind her, an elegant though boxy vessel with the Orange flag of the IDSREO and the blue strips along its side, Captain Karina continue to tell the story of the Kronos Program and recaps the viewers on the previous season and adventures of the Sea Shepard before beginning on this seasons mission “I pass on to First Officer Hakido Khabashi”
The camera pans to a Tayichi man who introduces himself and explains “This season we start in the North Mediriman Ocean before heading Northwest through he Northern Passage seeing large community’s of walrus, whales and multiple other deep sea creatures before dipping south into the Forsian Sea viewing multiple large coral reefs and following the migration patterns of Osgari Orcas, a large species of orca that have a symbolic relationship with small Osgar Octopuses. From there we journey to the Penitusian Sea and explore the world of jellyfish, crustaceans and unique reef environments. That would conclude our season.”

Days of Wrath Pt. III
OOC: Due to my late on posting this, and in part due to a vacation I took at the end of last month, the Days of Wrath storyline will now be rectonned to start on the 17th of September (09/17/23)
A large group of people marched through the streets of Nikapolis, chanting various anti-Sturmist slogans. They marched for a few blocks before they reached a group of riot police who stood in between them and a large group of Sturmist counter-protesters who had assembled after the massacre that had happened in the Workers' Party Headquarters.
The protesters threw objects at each other. The police were formed up in a four-way intersection so they had two avenues of escape in case the protesters collectively assaulted the line from either side. The sides grew larger and larger until something unexpected happened. Many of the police officers left and let in the National Syndicalist protesters before, suddenly, the police and the National Syndicalists formed their own line and charged at the Sturmists. The Sturmists began to quickly retreat as they were overwhelmed by the combination of police and National Syndicalists. Footage posted online showed officers dragging away Sturmists and protesters viciously beating the Sturmist protesters.

Cabinet of Ashita Siza, Wanmachi
Occurring almost simultaneously to the meeting in Dolplandia, Ashita Siza, Prime Minister was holding his weekly cabinet meeting on a similar topic, although he was full of fury. Ashita sat at the head of the large table, surrounded by his loyal Social Democrat cabinet. Near the foot of the table, Kubota Akihiro sits near to the other Progressive Party ministers defensively, as if ready to close ranks at the first sign of danger. Opposite from the Progressive ministers sit the Green Party, who grin like vultures at the inevitable grilling which their rivals in the coalition will recieve from the Social Democrats.
"You asked for WHAT?!" Sizo yelled, clearly losing his temper. Akihiro wore a blank and dismissive face, and merely shrugged "We sent you to Kahilo to negotiate a working business relationship, and you come back having recieved permission to launch drone strikes on Dolplandia proper? What the hell were you thinking?"
Akihiro had both a smug and defensive look to him, visibly feeling like he was in the right and that there was nothing Sizo could do about it. He opened his palms and said
"You sent me to work in the best interests of PaÃs-Sukoku. I did that..."
Sizo began speaking again but to the shock of everybody Akihiro cut him off "If you think I made a mistake- deal with it. You appointed me Foreign Secretary, invested your trust in me, if you want this coalition to work then we'll need to work as equals, you can't babysit our foreign policy."
Sizo frowned "equals doesn't mean going behind one another's back and to completely betray our decades old values... this is just a cheap political move to win votes- you'd be nothing without us."
Akihiro raised his eyebrow "Oh really? A cheap political move? There are children dying out there, form drug abuse, and you're calling this a cheap political move? The Biggonian Mafia must be stopped, whatever the cost, and it seems like we're the only ones who want to take the difficult decisions in this country anymore."
Akihiro then looked to his other ministers, nodding, and they all then stood up in unison
"Either you pass this bill allowing us to bomb drug farms, or we walk. Up to you."
Sizo slumped back into his chair, defeated. He turned to the Minister of Defence "can it be done?" the minister nodded to show PaÃs-Sukoku had the capabilities to commence a bombing campaign, and then sighed "fine, I'll talk to the President and speaker."

King Erich I, Act IX, Royalty
With the Edvarks Crown on his head Erich felt more secure, he was Royalty. That had to mean something, or so he was told. Erich had one last peace of business to complete. His Cousin, Clarissa Leftenson, graduate of the University of Carthiada in History and currently unemployed. She was Royal and his last living relative excluding Clarissa Father.
*902, Edvark Road, Town of Grunweld, Carthiada Province*
Clarissa sat glued to the television. She know her cousin Erich was king and that would technically make her a princess, but why hadn’t Erich visited her? Her thoughts ranged from ‘has he forgotten’ to ‘his to busy’. The last weeks had been pretty rough. *Ding-Dong* Clarissa heard the doorbell ring “I’ll get it” she called to her father. Opening the door she was surprised to see he cousin Erich. Astonished the only thing she could say was “Welcome, your…. your majesty”, she bowed. Erich quickly dismissed the bow and said “Clarissa it has been very long, you don’t need to call me that then I’ll have to call you *your highness*” he said with a light chuckle.
They talked for hours having heated discussions after heated discussions on policy’s and issues and more importantly her title. They both agreed on ‘Princess’ and ‘Duchess of Uiortel’ as her official title.
Leaving Erich thought how this would affect her life as much as it would affect him. She could be an excellent bargaining chip in global politics. But that was later now he needed rest.
