AMBER DAWN
Its a peaceful day in the calm waters of the Arctic Sea. The sound of the flowing torrent is broken abruptly by the abhorrent noise of engines. The Kirinian 3rd Fleet, most notably including KRN Shuurga, the only Tsurkhai-class destroyer in existence, breaks through the waves. A spearhead of death. The target is Kamin City, capital city of the Torturian dictatorship.
Their motive is unknown.

Voided, too unrealistic, how did a country with a population of 50k build a ballistic missile? A country with that size irl wouldn't be able to handle 10 MILAN missiles let alone an ICBM, the only way you would be able to have that sort of weaponry is if another very powerful nation gave you it/had bases in Torturia that had deployed those missiles.

Introduction to Karkol
The Free and United Republic of Karkol is a country located in eastern Gondwana. It has a population of over 288,000,000, making it the fourth-most populated country in Talonia. It is a densely-populated and heavily-industrialized country. The capital city of Karkol is Kamago. Karkol is led by a totalitarian dictator, Ra Kokenbul, who rules the country with an iron fist, swiftly crushing out any opposition with the aid of the loyal Karkolian Armed Forces. The country's turbulent history has resulted in its current position, and what little remains of the people's hope for freedom is holding on, perhaps one day to be fulfilled.
History
Karkol was first settled by two main groups: the Kiyars and the Ertulani. These groups eventually split into the main ethnic groups of Karkol today, and spread out across the region. Warring was frequent between the groups, leading to the creation of major empires such as the Ombulani Empire, the Yolkuta Empire, and the Ertu Empire. These empires ruled the eastern part of Karkol for centuries, until internal problems broke them apart. The west saw some development due to the collapse of the eastern powers, using their weakened state as an advantage to gain land. The most notable empires to emerge out of the western region include the Empire of Gagiltor and the Pandurian Empire. The Sogan Empire was also established, by the nomadic Sogan people who recurrently raided the far western Karkolian tribes.
The 11th century brought the rise of the Ulmara Empire, based out of Gunagar, led by Kiritiul the Magnificent, a masterful tactician and military commander who conquered nearly all of modern-day Karkol under his massive empire, and brought about the Karkolian Golden Age. The Karkolian Golden Age, which lasted until the late 13th century, was a period of rapid scientific and cultural advancement in Ulmara society, producing famous philosophers, mathematicians, theorists (especially military theorists), scholars, artists, and musicians. The Golden Age also spurred the return and spread of the Yanu religion, an ancient Ombulani religion that had previously experienced a sharp decline.
The end of the Karkolian Golden Age brought about the collapse of the Ulmara Empire into four distinct kingdoms: Ombulan, Yolkuta, Ulmar, and Panduria, beginning the Four Kingdoms period. This period followed the four kingdoms as they explored the world, discovering new lands and establishing trade routes. It was largely peaceful until the War of the Burning Towns, in which the Kingdom of Ombulan was defeated by Yolkuta and Panduria. This led to widespread resentment in Ombulani society, eventually triggering the Ombulani Revolution, in which the Ombulani monarchy was replaced with a military dictatorship led by General Argos Tomibil. Tomibil started the Great Karkolian War, which pitted Yolkuta and Panduria against Ombulan, Ulmar, and the Sogan Empire. The war was an overwhelming Ombulani victory, but it killed over 1 million people and caused terrifying devastation across the belligerents.
Next, the Kingdom of Ombulan began a quest to unify Karkol by force. After conquering Ulmar and Sogana, Ombulan formed the Empire of Karkol in 1630, led by Rotala the Unifier. The Empire of Karkol was a powerful force in Gondwana, with a strong army and navy. It also established a bustling commerce economy, trading Karkolian natural and luxury resources to other nations that did not possess them. It was in this united form that the pure wealth of Karkol began to be discovered and extracted. Also during this period, the Empire of Karkol made large expansions. In 1764, the empire had reached its highest extent under Emperor Loki II, who had taken over much of the Karkolian subcontinent. Karkol emerged as a world power, with one of the world's strongest economies and militaries.
The mid-to-late 1800s saw the decline of the Empire of Karkol, as many conquered territories broke off, gaining independence. By 1878, Karkol's borders had reached their modern state. The people began to disapprove of the monarchy en masse in the late 19th century, triggering multiple failed revolutions. Emperor Kostuka, who took the position in 1909, transformed the country into a police state, brutally oppressing his political opposition and any protests. Eventually, he was unable to suppress the revolutions and the June Revolution of 1925 brought an end to the monarchy and the death of Emperor Kostuka and much of his family. A presidential democracy was instated, creating the Republic of Karkol. The republic's constitution was widely perceived as flawed, and led to the rise of Arko Kokenbul in 1946. Kokenbul, a famed military leader who led part of the anti-monarchy forces during the June Revolution, was trusted by the people. He promised a free and fair democracy. However, his true intentions quickly became clear. He assumed total control of the country with the assistance of the loyal military, eliminating opposition leaders and stripping the Karkolian Parliament and other government positions of their power. Kokenbul's totalitarian dictatorship, unlike the previous monarchy, withstood all attempts to replace it. Despite the resistance's efforts, they were forced underground to survive his brutality.
Arko Kokenbul died suddenly of a stroke in 1961. He passed the position of General Secretary of the People's League (as well as President of Karkol) onto his son, Sukir Kokenbul. Sukir, 27 years old at the time, assumed the position, but the political vacuum created by Arko Kokenbul's death did not go unnoticed by resistance groups. Several coalitions of resistance groups rose up together in the 1961 Revolution of Solidarity against the Kokenbul regime, starting a year-long civil war. However, the revolution failed in its goal and the resistance movement returned to the shadows as Sukir solidified his rule. Numerous massacres of suspected revolutionaries were executed by the Karkolian Armed Forces in the years after the revolution, only further intimidating the people. Sukir continued his father's goal of making Karkol a superpower, substantially expanding the military and economy at the cost of the people.
In 2003, Sukir, now 69 years old, resigned as General Secretary of the People's League, passing on the position to his 32-year-old son, Ra Kokenbul. Ra's way of ruling is barely different from his father's and grandfather's before him, though the people have perceived him to be much more lenient on civil rights than his ancestors, which has been seen as a somewhat good sign by resistance groups and other citizens alike.

TRAGIC! Extremian Coastal Defense Services (ECDS) branch of the Extremian Maritime Forces (EMF) have published a video of their patrol boats with thermal cameras recording Torturian escapees trying to take boats across the gulf of Tasiliaq.
17:48, MINISTRA OF MILITARY AFFAIRS, DEFENSE, LOGISTICS (MMADL)
The Ministra of Defense has published a recording that was captured from an ECDS patrol vessel, where they pointed a thermal observation camera on a patrol vessel at the shore for scouting, only to have spotted 2 motorboats trying to get away from Torturian shorelines. They reported to have not heard any firing and even managed to shine a light towards themselves trying to guide the escapees. The incident occured at about 22:02 last night.
Then the patrol team called in a medical patrol vessel and some back up, so that they could easily help the escapees. While they were watching the boats, they heard no alarm, nothing from the other side. Unfortunately, on video, its visible how the second boat's 2 sitting individuals have crashed onto a coral, immediately having drowned in the rough stream of the gulf, with their bodies struggling over. No attempts to recover their bodies were made by our forces, as the coral reef was on the Torturian side of the river.
In a bit, the video shows the remaining boat crossing into our side of the river.
Our patrol vessels were able to make use of megaphones in order to order the Torturian escapee boat to sail over to them, from the same observation camera, it recorded the boat approaching close and stopping, as the medical patrol vessel quickly got on and stopped the boat, with the recording patrol vessel quickly getting the items and the now recovered 17 year old Kishtam Erdente alongside his mother, Karin Edente who was seemingly wrapped in some cloth, asleep in the boat.
The boy quickly cried out in relief as he was saved and given a mylar blanket. He was given some water as he had none on his boat - it turned out the other boat the inhabitants of which had both crashed and drowned were Kishtam's father and uncle - Do and De Erdente respectively.
Albeit the names of the victims are similar to normal Extremian names, the appropriate authorities are looking into whether or not Do and De Erdente had Extremian citizenship.
Karin Erdente was admitted to a hospital in Kuorr-Mer as soon as possible by the medical patrol vessel, as the boy quickly showed medical documents he had on him, showing that the mother was in critical need of an operation done on her, however could not be treated as multiple doctors in their area claimed that "they didn't know how to treat it".
Right now, Kishtam is under watch in a hotel room while the Ministra of Housing, Citizen Relations (MHCR) looked for an appropriate home to house the two escapees.
Kishtam and Karin Erdente had been promised citizenship as soon as Karin was well again, saying that the treatment of her was for free as a package of treating escaped Torturians, which also includes a monthly pay of 90000 Dahlias (approx. 800 dollars) to cover their expenses, food, and Extremian language lessons.
Another interesting thing pointed out is the lack of any border patrol for a country that so staunchly wants people not to escape. Seems like there wasn't any maritime patrol, with only the border on the landbridge having been actually watched.
Once again, the ECDS marines are once again showing the world and their country about how well assembled and organized they are! If there is something that was done right in the last few Regencies, then it's the reorganization and extra funding for border patrols and the EMF!
Glory to the EMF!
(Attached below is the full video of the incident, recorded shortly after the first boat with Kishtam sailed off and the boat with his father and uncle setting off being recorded. It shows everything - looking at the empty beaches, the censored, yet very obvious deaths of Do and De, and then the recovery of Karin and Kishtam. It's about 30 minutes...)
Farokand, Torturia
Enhance the goddamn border control! Dont shoot the people who escaped. Just carry them back. If they actually make it, Kudos to them cause thats pretty damn impressive. Once theyre gone, none of my business, I dont wanna spend precious time looking at the cameras and whatnot. AND HURRY UP WITH THE HAIRBRUSH OR YOULL GET THE LABOUR CAMP TREATMENT! Quotes the Queen in slight anger.

Rattled by the Kirinian fleet on its doorstep, the Torturian nation has reconsidered its location which is very strategically inconsistent and is generally a hostile environment. With the help of an unknown external force, the nation has migrated eastwards in its entirety towards the north of Extremity.
(Torturia has used 1 Migration Plan)
In the midst of a dense forest cave in the central region of Torturia, a giant air blast ballistic missile code name challenger 10 is currently being developed. Covered in camouflage netting and currently being carried to shore. It is almost impossible to view with GPS systems. The bomb carries the same damage as 10,000 pounds of light grade TNT. It is 1 of 15 different air blast missiles in the Torturian arsenal currently being planned and produced.

Government faces online backlash after revealing full funding amount to the military.
After the official announcement of the Revitalization Program, people waited for a small percentage increase in order to fuel the rehabilitation of the entire military. Instead it was a drastic amount increase, from 6% up to 10% of the GDP, almost doubling the amount, and an "injection" of one time funds amounting to about 45 trillion dahlias (about 400 billion USD).
As soon as this was announced, and then later confirmed, to have actually went through, people started getting mad and or worrying that the Regency was throwing away money at the military way too fast.
(A post shows someone writing "wdym 4% increase and a 45 tr injection??? are you kidding me??? #nomilitarization" )
People are worried that this might turn Extremium into a military oriented nation, only prioritizing military technologies instead of civil things, like medicine, welfare, and other things.
Some are even saying that due to this new military spending, they might make a tax raise in order to compensate for the newfound spending - making Extremium more and more expensive to live in!
(A post shows someone writing "THIS IS INSANE! @ Re_Regency wants AND HAS already raised the military spending to A TENTH of our GDP AND give them a bailout with 45 trillion! I can't believe we elected a warmonger!! #nomilitarization" )
Posts on NextMood like these have been frequent with the hashtag "#nomilitarization" with anti-program slogans and also with staunch positions and arguments against it. However, on the other side with "#12percent"...
(A NextMood post shows someone writing "is #nomilitarization a stupid joke or something, we literally have a ****ing commie dictatorship up north, and lord knows how other countries around us are like - wake up idiots #12percent" )
#12percent is a hashtag that was started as a response to #nomilitarization, a position at which people believe that 10% of GDP spending on the military ISN'T ENOUGH and should be raised to 12% instead.
There are some moderates that are positive about the new actions done under the guise of the Revitalization Program, and saying that nothing should be done about it.
We managed to get a quick call interview with Regent Yaermand, and we asked her what she thought of the entire situation.
"Are you joking?? I know there's people worried that we might become some sort of military oriented nation, but I'm doing this for the security and wellbeing of the nation.
The injection is there to headstart the conversion of arms to become more standardized - ESPECIALLY UNIFORMS! Can you believe it that we don't have a single, standard uniform pattern and outfit for winter camouflage!? That is a moneysink and a mess! Someone has to get rid of the older camo and develop a standard and better uniform, and without any money you won't be able to do it!
Don't get me started on the guns - some use completely unique calibers, tiring our logistics out by having to fetch specific ammo or magazines."
Our colleague asked her what she thinks of the backlash on the raising of the military spending.. she had the following to say.
"I don't want to have to rely on some other nation to say 'yes we'll help you develop a new thing', I want Extremium to be able to make their own equipment in times of need. It's about time Extremium, a very rich and highly potential nation, to finally stop playing catch-up with modernizing their outdated, spread out equipment, but actually started becoming a nation that is going to be the one making the next generation equipment."
To that, she told us that she did not have much time, and had to go. We thanked her for her time and hanged up.
What do you think of this?

The most monitored area in the world?
It has come to the governments realization that Extremium, or the democratic states of Extremium has recently rescued 2 ILLEGAL citizens who escaped from the TEMA which stands for Torturia Extremium Monitored Border. This border is rumoured to have been the most protected area on the planet. 3 layers of barbed wire, hundreds of land mines scattered across the border AND over 600,000 guards swap duty 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Their method for escape? Motorboats. They are highly trusted Elite members of the Torturian government who decided to BETRAY their birth land. This is simply put, disgusting. This brings up another question, can anyone be trusted? It has been made very clear over this incident that many Elite members are betraying their motherland. The total number of people in this incident was 4 but 2 drowned while crossing from the west of Torturia into Extremium by sea. Extremium has earned a extremely bad reputation here in the nation and we shall end all trade with them. Citizens frequently calling the nation, brain dead goats on the mountains has also been quite popular lately.
never happen again
The government along with Queen Vera has decided to drastically increase sea patrol ships and not let such an act ever happen again. This is the worst form of betrayal a human being could do to their nation. Me and my men will swear to the Queen to always stay alert and catch any pesky cowards who want to escape quotes a skipper on one of Torturia new top of the line border control patrol boats.

Netizens denounce the Coldheim Royal Family as "spoon fed toddlers wielding the power to transform 31 milion people into beggars"
"We are lacking some funds in some departments lads. I have to look at my ministers for a second" King Pierre startled and then proceeds to post the message on social media
In recent times the lack of major reforms and effort regarding welfare, education, law and order seemed to be dwindle in the past 5 years. Netizens have correlated this with the House of Coldheim housing corrupt individuals unfit for leadership embezelling funds meant for the betterment of the lives of the citizens. In an old article it was already confirmed that Queen Courtney had used funds meant for healthcare to buy herself a collection of expensive automobiles. But this had failed to get traction since it had posted in an age where only a select few are using computers. Furthermore the original article was deleted within 3 days of it's release but a few copies of it still remain intact to this day. Internet user [@CShoot12] had found one of the copies embedded in a PasteDump.net post and had posted it on social media.
[@CShoot12] | Hmm.. guys maybe this is why our lives are still the same a decade ago. These Coldheims are worse than I initially thought.

This has sparked fellow netizens to take action and denounce the goverment with the hastag "#COLDheim" attaining the 4th and 3rd most used hashtags on several social media sites.

[@PetriGO] | Now I should get a gang of homeless then raid the fu##### palace and make the queen and princesses cry LETTT THEMM EATT RATSS #COLDheim.
[@LasttenPlastic] | @King Pierre Coldheim is the best king we had in 2 centuries having been humble and seeing the needs of us common folk and he is finely educated in leadership and politics. But you should take a right turn and look at your own family your children, Princess Toria, Princess Novalie and Prince Edwardson are "spoon fed toddlers wielding the power to transform 31 milion people into beggars". Furthermore look at your beloved wife she knows less about politics than a school kid! Take action and educate your children on politcal affairs or they will drive us to the ground! #COLDheim

WAYS TO ESCAPE
For years, the Haktor regime has worked tirelessly to create a nation with both good geography and protection. Torturia is pancaked by Kambrosia on the North and Extremium down south. The west of Torturia is surrounded by the biggest arctic river in the region, the Majoraq river. This river get down to freezing temperatures of 3-4 degrees Celsius. It is physically impossible to swim across this river to Extremium as you will 100% die of either hypothermia or lack of energy which will result to drowning. Another possibility is going straight to Extremium using land. This.. is even more impossible. The TEMA, Torturia Extremium Monitored Area is the most protected border on the planet. Over 500,000 guards, hundreds of land mines, 3 layers of barbed wire, this border is truly impossible to cross.

Tarukistanate Announces Support for Torturia
Tarukistanate has decided that in order to deepen their relations with Torturia, upon the trade deal they already have, would like to offer Torturia troops to better monitor the border if need be. Torturia would have to simply accept this offer and we would send 1,000 troops to hold their borders and better reinforce them not allowing any residents to escape. Adding onto this matter, the troops would be carried by 10 transport boats and arrive at the coastline of Torturia then immediately start to reinforce the borders of Torturia. The government is current waiting eagerly for Torturia's response and wishes for the further development of diplomacy between the two nations.
Mafia Boss Captured
The Intelligence agency in Tarukistanate originally thought that the Mafia Boss which had escaped our prison had ran to another country. We were wrong as we found him next to the capital city of Taruk hiding in a small village with around 10 pawns of his carrying guns around him. The agents managed to deploy smoke bombs and successful capture the Mafia Boss with no fatalities occurring on each side. The Leader Ivan Taruki decided that he would praise the agency in a speech.
"The intelligence agency works hard day and night, they managed to find him even after they made a mistake. He hid in the most obscure spot and even covered up his tracks but we still got him!"
AMBER DAWN - ARMAGEDDON
With the futile Torturian scramble to assemble missiles possessing a projected completion date in 21 days, the fleet pushes on, approaching Kamin City with haste. A high-frequency signal is sent to intercept all Torturian radio stations, calling for the evacuation of the city. The fleet's weapons are primed and point directly towards the heart of Torturia and its underside is shielded by an array of submarines, with the onboard anti-torpedo and anti-air systems on full alert. The torrent is impenetrable. Reinforcements in the form of the 28th Marine Division and the 2nd fleet are en route. There will be no fight or flight, for the future has already been rewritten.

Live from the Ministra of Foreign Affairs
Kuubosei-Ki stands at the speaking stand, clearing her throat a bit, as journalists got up, taking pictured and some ready to ask questions.
"Good morning. We are here today to address the issues regarding Torturia's response to two of its' civilians escaping to us.
There was no so called 'betrayal' from the Kishtam family. They've had enough of their only person in power being incompetent and ruining the country, and got sick of it. Not even going to mention the fact that Do and De Kishtam were actually civilians of Extremium. They had dual citizenship - and we have records proving that they should have been able to leave under the guise of dual citizenship in Extremium.
We will take this as an act of violation of human rights - just like absolutely any other policy adopted in the last couple of days by Vera Haktor the 1st and her now later father.
If you think we're just 'braindead goats on mountains', I'd like to remind you that our majority comes from the neaik-merians - a maritime race.
We'd also like to remind you that our citizens do not have caps on their earnings per year, and hard workers don't get their earnings stolen from them.
Your pay here represents how hard you work - not determined by a 15 year old girl with 20 servants that just solely brush her hair.
We encourage Torturian civilians to resist and or defect. Our borders are open and we will take as many talented young or middle aged Torturians as necessary, and we can help the older people as well if they have medical conditions.
This will not be the end of Torturian democracy.
Regarding the trade blockade... we did not have any trade deals with Torturia.
That decision will impact nothing between us.
Regarding the demand for an increased maritime patrol along the border on the gulf...
If you fire upon Extremian ships, you will get return fire. This is not a warning, but a promise. We would not like to kill anyone and I believe so do Torturian patrol soldiers.
One last message to the naval forces of Torturia: if you wish to escape and migrate to Extremium, raise a white flag and rush to ECDS patrols screaming "we are escaping", or using a megaphone, say the same thing to alert that you do not wish to fight. There will be a monetary reward for bringing over captured military equipment - including the patrol boat - that were made and used by the Torturian Navy.
This will be all."

History of Tarukistanate
Living Conditions
Tarukistanate started as a tiny feudal country with barely any civil rights for the workers and nearly no liberties for peasants and those in the 99%. The lords would oppress the workers and continuously demand more, feeding their money machine, while the slaves directly owned by the lords would be whipped and treated like the animals they wereno more than livestock in the eyes of the higher class, being seen as barely human. The living conditions for the workers consisted of tiny makeshift houses barely big enough for one person to live in; the roofs were made of sticks, and the walls were made of clay since they were the cheapest items they could afford. The peasants also had the duty to build their own houses since they were workers and were not granted any type of sick pay and etc. Back then, its economy mostly consisted of agriculture and farmland, which was drastically inefficient due to the feudal system, topped by semi-frequent droughts and disasters that often occurred, sometimes completely wrecking the meekly economy.
Living Conditions of the Higher Class
The higher class was a completely different social class. They could sleep, have huge houses, never worry about food, wear the finest clothes and have nearly anything they wanted prepared for them with one word, and own so much money that they could easily buy peasants like bread. The upper class never had to worry an inch in their lives because they had multiple servants who could do anything they wanted. They wouldn't even have to walk; the peasants would carry them. This level of power and status got to their heads. The upper class now believed they were literal gods and formed an entire religion around it, which the peasants were forced to follow. Statues of the upper class would be built and worshipped every single day. If you refused to comply, the upper class would have you executed or exiled completely from society, which would be a surefire way to end your life. They had the ability to easily control the population and manipulate the masses.
The Royal Family
The Royal family consisted of 12 direct members with many else being cousins or related in some way, but the 12 members had the most power in the entire nation. The Royal family was very inconsistent and completely incompetent at actually reforming the country and improving the lives of the masses, they usually sought to consolidate their power and assassinations were frequent and not shocking at all. The Royal families favourite hobbies were to simply party all day long and keep control over the peasants, sometimes also actually contributing to the nation and implementing new laws. This phenomena was not very common however. The Royal family had ruled over Tarkukistanate for over 400 years, each leader was incompetent or barely decent enough for the peasants to chug their life along while staying dirt broke and nearly homeless.
The Change
In a small town not far off from the capital city of Taruk, a child was born His name was Lev Takerv. Now, he wasn't very special. He had been born into a peasant family and nearly his whole life he had to endure the sufferings and the hardships that all other peasants of Tarukistanate had to endure living under a feudal system run by the elite. He did however, have something very special. It wasn't money, it wasn't power but he could speak like a lion roaring and his intelligence was nearly unmatched. He would often give powerful speeches that earned him a decent following and he created a system that could fairly take care of everyone and distribute the wealth, this ideology kept growing in numbers but eventually stopped since there was nothing they could really do at this point without some instability occurring. He continued to slave away like any other peasant did and earn enough money to survive. His situation would change however and sooner then he had expected.
A Situation Never Seen Before
Horror shot through the peasants and the elite, shaking the entire nation to it's knees. One of the most horrible diasters in all of Tarukistanates history just ripped through the capital absolutely obliterating everything in it's way and completely crashing the already weak economy. The Peasants were hit very hard and none of them could afford to buy even basic necessities now. The Elite were also shook, however they had so much stockpiles of food that it would last them years. The Peasants begged for some of the food yet the elite scoffed them off. This was it, the breaking point.
The Divide
Lev Takerv leaped at this chance, he quickly started to raise support and with the current system his ideals appealed to many people promising fairness and wealthy lives for all. The Movement grew insanely fast and nearly doubled it's members within a system day, the growth of this movement did not stop at all and shot up like a rocket eventually catching the attention of the Elites. The Elites tried to quickly shut it down since they feared what Lev Takerv was preaching and how they might actually rise up against their owners. In order to stop him the Royal family themselves ordered the arrest of all members who were even thinking about the ideology. But not this time, the workers would not be stopped this time.
The Civil War
Quickly chaos erupted as Lev Takerv himself was arrested and was about to be sentenced to death. The workers, fearing their leader would die,
quickly overthrew their owners. They robbed them of all the weapons and materials they had and continued to push for others to rise too. Suddenly everywhere in the nation peasants rising and taking ownership of the means of production, this absolutely horrified the Elites as now their worst dream had came true, this was really happening. The Peasants with the newfound weapons and resources seized the prison where Lev Takerv was being held and freed him. He quickly mobilized and started to organize these peasants into a fighting force. Lev Takerv was no general, however he did have a lot of members in his group who were very well respected. One of these people being Kerensky Otto, while Lev Takerv was a very smart person, Kerensky was a military genius. He with the support of the rest of the party started to order the peasants to capture towns and cities. By this time, the Elites had mobilized their armies as-well. There was no going back from here it was the Workers against the Elites. The armies fought viciously with many of the Elite's soldiers defecting towards the reds, the Reds were able to swiftly defeat many of the forces of the Elites due to their low numbers and the powerful tactics of Kerensky. After fighting for months, the Reds captured Taruk the capital and it was over.
Aftermath of the War
Cheers roared throughout the nation. It was over, it was really over. No more suffering under feudalism. They were equal. However, there was still many issues to address but Kerensky and Lev were widely considered as heroes but most of the population. Lev quickly got to work with other members of his party and started to implement the reforms he promised such as wealth redistribution and started to also recover the economy from the civil war. Kerensky started to reform the army and focusing on creating a professional Army-Corp not comprised of Militia. Eventually, these reforms had started to pay off and the peasants lives became gradually better improving bit by bit each day. For the final issue presented, it was what to do with the Elites now. They had been completely stripped from their title and their wealth seized from them. Lev and Kerensky came up to a stage and looked down upon from the people from above. He spoke "Workers! what should we do with those who have whipped you, oppressed you, barely left you any food to live and when you came begging they shrugged you away! Speak, and we shall do it." the crowd roared with bloodlust "Execute them! End them where they stand!" Lev Responded "So it shall be." then 5 guillotines were brought, all of the nobles and even the royal family had been brought. Their heads fell off one by one, being thrown into the crowd while the people cheered at the site.
The Rest of the History
A Statue of Kerensky and Lev were made in the capital their arms were raised and pointed at the sky with a slight smile on their faces, this was done because Lev and Kerensky were widely loved by the people, they were filled with great pride that their nation was able to lift itself out of suffering and pain under them. In just 30 years, Lev Takerv raised Tarukistanate from poverty and greatly improved the quality of life and the economy.
The Death of Lev and Kerensky
The Nation mourned for weeks by their own choice. Luckily however, Lev had appointed a successor, his name would be Istof Ivan. The nation continued to prosper until he also eventually died and appointed our current Leader Ivan Taruki.

We will need to know if you will become similar to South Korea in that you will accept all Torturias citizens as your own citizens. Right now, its not a very good idea for BOTH of us if we take away the zero migration policy. Thousands upon thousands of Torturians will force their way into Extremium. Are you going to provide food and water for them? And for how long? Also, it is clear that Kirin Khaganate shares many similar ideologies with you in a relatively democratic capitalist nation. We do not want Kirins influence to push on into our nation as Extremium and them are almost definitely have bases of the other action inside of their nation. This COULD end in a brutal war killing millions. We certainly do not want that as on a global scale, the population of Torturia is still rather small. By the way, trade deals mean stuff coming from Torturia like a little sign that says made in Torturia. It doesnt necessarily have to be important stuff like uranium and whatnot.

ATO-Torretina's new SuperRapid 78mm naval autocannon
ATO-Torretina (also known as Atorettina), a company originating from Boscociliegi, most known for its' development of autocannons and their success in the market for naval armaments, has revealed a new prototype - currently called the 78mm SuperRapid. Its' 78x652mmR round is said to be capable of having 3 confirmed different types of loads: APDS-FS for the purpose of disabling enemy armor or enemy armaments, HE-PF for taking out enemy aircraft and long range drones, and normal HE-FRAG, made as a MUCH cheaper high explosive round loaded with a bunch of tungsten beads for extra damage against enemy infantry.
Atorettina says that the fire control system on the cannon was actually able to come to fruition thanks to quite a few new minds coming from Torturia mixed with the Resourcefullness and workability of Extremian citizens.
Some said that those Torturians may have been spies, however they were all ex-torturian, having requested that their citizenship in Torturia should be terminated.
Back on the topic of the FCS, it is said that the computer on the gun is able to calculate and predict where the locked on target is going to be, making it able to properly predict and prefire in order to guarantee a perfect hit on enemy air assets and patrol vessels.
They say that the cannon's firerate is electrically variable from 80 to 200 rounds per minute, however the normal setting - which is also its' natural firerate - is on 120 RPM. This means that this new autocannon is going to hopefully dominate anti air systems in the sea - without using fancy missiles.
But the main question is whether or not this is going to be able to FULLY replace the old and aging 26mm Kuardini autocannons - when asked with this question, the head of research and development of ATO-Torretina, No Torreli replied with the following:
"You have a better controllable cannon, able to have a massive rotary magazine under it, and also the ability to switch between 3 rounds with different purposes that dominate infantry, armor, sea, and air. Albeit this project has been a longtime in development - ever since the first wave of naval funding - we are still extremely happy to present it and hope that we can make a more modern system that is NOT going to be way overbore when it comes to the price of it. The Kuardini autocannons however, made by our land-based rivals at HAEGERENGA DEFENSE in Jormungand, are still very effective, and there are rumors I can confidently share that they are trying to retrofit them to be much more effective. Albeit, the SuperRapid will not lose to that retrofitting - as 26mm can only do so much compared to 78mm."
The public is extremely confident in this new sudden reveal, especially after the Torturian events, people have started swinging from "reducing the military spending" to actually asking for more military spending, citing that their lives are good, but their good lives would not be safe without a strong military.
(A link to ATO-Torretina's news page on their website was posted there... seems like this post is blowing up, with people saying that they hope to see more new developments from all branches of the military.)

Torturia would like to humbly accept such kind offer of reinforcement of the TEMA. About the international relations, we would like to establish trades such as uranium, gold etc. The prices start at 131 dollars a pound and for gold, a 24k bar of 1 pound gold will be 23,781$. Prices will not have tax or shipping fee but you will not need to add those. We also heard that your mafia boss has been captured. In Torturia, the government actually SUPPORTS the Torturian cartel although it is technically trading illegal contraband. These contrabands include cocaine, Fentanyl, crack and extremely high amounts of weed. They sell it anonymously to buyers all over the planet in a large unlit area of the internet known as the dark web. This brings in A LOT of cold earned cash which actually funds a tiny amount of Torturias projects.
We would like to return your offer by building bases in your nation. We are also proposing a contract agreeing to send as many troops as possible if any war breaks out in either mine or your nation. Please quote us or telegram if you agree with the contract. We have already signed it.
Post self-deleted by Torturia.
We at Tarukistanate would like to compromise. We will not be accepting the fully military alliance until Torturia cools down their influence and agression on the world stage. Tarukistanate would not like to be involved in any war yet, and with Kirinian Khaghate motives unclear as to what they will do we do not wish to be dragged into a war with them as they are our neighbour. We will still however be sending troops and agree for the trade part of your deal. Any previous contracts such as the trade deal and military forces to reinforce the border will still be active, but Tarukistanate will wait to see the future of Torturia before signing a full alliance.
It is a dark and gloomy day. This is because the first troops will need to go to the front line to deal with Kirins attack and give further notice. They have a high percentage of dying on the shore. They are now saying goodbye to their families. The general of the army walks on the podium and give his final speech. We are trying our best to deal with Kirins attack without making any drastic and major decisions because that could very well end in either a full blown world war or the nation of Torturia completely crumbling down under the combined forces. It would be a shame if thats what will happen though because Torturia is a ancient civilization starting from 1006. It is a nation full of culture, traditions and mythical legends expanding over 1 millenia. Torturia is a nation of brave knights wielding the Zlyzuby as shown on the military flag, Adam, the mythical figure who sacrificed himself to kill the monarch and not to mention the thousands of brave and courageous men who sacrificed themselves in the Great War of 1067 to make Torturias territory what it is today. They will never be forgotten! Unless the combined forces of Kirin and Extremium takes over our nation WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN! NEVER! We join here tonight to sing the national anthem! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE TORTURIA! LET US THRIVE FOR ANOTHER 1000 YEARS JUST LIKE WE DID BEFORE! The crowd claps and cheers for what seems like eternity. Long live the queen! Long live Torturia! Let us thrive for another 1000 years! Chants the crowd in excitement.

Instead of landing, the fleet stays at a safe distance of around 20km away from the coast. As they've already warned the residents to evacuate, the fleet begins to fire its vast arsenal of weaponry directly towards the city center. Hundreds of land attack missiles and shells begin raining down on the streets of Kamin City. K5 bombers, escorted by dozens of fighters, raid across the sky, wrecking further havoc down on the city below. The Torturians who stayed can do naught but sit ducks and endure the downfall of explosives as the world around them seemingly disintegrates into a fiery, bloody hell.
We acknowledge this warning and don't transport any of our polar bears and wolfs as you do not agree to it. Due to this, we will send our wild animals to the wilderness instead. All we ask of you is the ability to use your airspace to do so.
Due to situation in Talonia now, Oturyaland will sanction Torturia we announced that we are peaceful nation but not allowed any nation invade any nation by aggression. We Oturyalandian will banned Uranium from Torturia, seize Torturia government stuff or employees business and will restrain Torturia international railways road until the war end.
The "Phoenix" Age of Moltremacial
The leader Paul Kilkinton had discovered that his wife had supported the new policy in Torturia. In the sad deportation and divorce of his wife he committed suicide and disbands UPO in the porcess. The people who despised the Eco-Capitalist Society and Oligarchy started a revolution and wanted to have a socialist society. The new "President" is Issac Lewford. He declared that he is now going to evenly distribute the resources aside from the Uranium which would confiscated for the protection of the citizens. As of the war in Talonia. They fully support The Kirinian Khaganate and will try to aid them as much as possible. He would declare war on Torturia but only to break a type of stalemate. For now. It has resorted to keep the embargo that was there before.

CHAIRMAN MACHOVY TO VISIT DOKUCHEVO K.S.R.
(Roscov-Volcun Line, D.K.S.R.) - After talks about a revolution against the Union by the Dokuchevo K.S.R. circulated around the Kyebrushan F.S.R. , Chairman Machovy has decided to make time for a visit to the D.K.S.R. to see for himself if there could be any problem at all. He is expected to arrive at the Roscov-Volcun Borderline by tomorrow. Machovy's personal bodyguards will also be present in case something happens. Preparations are being made as expected by both the Head of State of the D.K.S.R.,Anatoly Cascavitch, and authorities belonging to the D.K.S.R.
In addition to preparations being made, the D.K.S.R. Head of State publicly and properly denounced these claims as "ludicrous" and "unbelievably spurious." Of course, nothing can be made clear with just words. Machovy stated in our last-minute interview that "There is still a need to either validate or invalidate these claims. Only then can I rest easily. For the safety of the Union, and the safety of myself and my family too."

THE KHAGAN VISITS EXTREMITY HEIGHTS
The Khagan has embarked on a historic state visit to Extremium, marking a significant milestone in diplomatic relations between the two nations.
This much-anticipated visit, the first of its kind in several decades, is aimed at strengthening ties and fostering cooperation in various fields, including politics, trade, culture, and education. During his stay, The Khagan is scheduled to engage in a series of high-level meetings with Extremium's leaders, including Presidental Regent Re Yaermand. These discussions are expected to encompass a wide range of topics, from bilateral trade agreements to joint efforts in combating global challenges such as climate change and most importantly: the issue of Torturia.
One of the key highlights of the Khagan's visit is expected to be the signing of a non-aggression pact as well as other bilateral agreements aimed at boosting economic cooperation. These agreements could pave the way for increased trade, investment, and collaboration in various sectors, thereby benefiting both nations' economies.
Security measures are, of course, at their highest during this visit, with authorities taking extensive precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the Khagan and all attendees. Streets along the route are adorned with flags and flowers, and thousands of well-wishers have gathered to catch a glimpse of the visiting monarch.

Evere
It has only been a month.. rip
cheating heart or publicity stunt?
It is a gloomy afternoon. In Kamin, another set of rumours has made its way on the newspapers. This time not about politics but about Veras personal life. Kasa Kanakuva and Queen Vera has been a famous couple for 6 months now. Veras personal information has always been shrouded in mystery including her birth. Some believe she wasnt even the true child of Hashkam the 3rd. The story today might shed some light on the mystery of this teenager who killed her own father to become ruler. Back to the topic, a video has gone viral on Torturias many social media apps. It depicts the famous songwriter Kasa making out violently with a girl somewhere backstage. It is unclear who filmed this encounter as the original video was posted anonymously on a sharing website with the user who posted it now being terminated for unknown reasons. The videos quality is quite low but the person looks very much like the songwriter with the exact same height, hair, facial hair etc. Many did not believe the video though until Kasa Kanakuvas new album made its release earlier this week. The album titled thorns of the rose. One of the songs in the album is called Elviras hair. Kasa has made many songs about romance but this one stands out as the person hes referring to is confirmed to be Elvira Kzar. Another celebrity who has become quite popular recently about acting. This woman just happens to be one of Kasas beat friends. She has also made a few posts about praising Kasa Kanakuva in lets just say, an odd way.. This added with the fact that the girl in the video looks EXACTLY like her adds to the confirmation that the video is genuine.
Vera is currently out of the country touring a few nations. Generals and officials are extremely worried about how she would react to the video. Now, the light will finally be shed on who exactly Vera Haksor is. She has EXTREME anger management problems. Frequently getting extremely frustrated and sending maids and servants to years in hard labour even as a child. This is not her fault however. As her uncle quotes, Veras father rarely talks to her at all. She was hid in Grenaltar for quite a few years because her father worried about a revolution in Torturia at the time. Growing up, she had zero friends due to transferring schools every 2-3 months due to spies and hitmen. She watched her mother being brutally killed by Tortoutatir support groups at the age of just 10. Maybe its best we dont tell her what happened these days about the video

Battles of Wagenturf and Rigeilio
As Christmas draws closer, both sides had agreed for a temporary cease fire as any assualt upon heavy snow and mud will be meet with a pointless massacre. The battles are to resume by the 5th of January with both sides devising their next maneuvers. On Christmas eve soldiers from both the seperatists and the army had enjoyed short peace and had exchanged gifts. This had their HQ dismayed with their commanding officer, Major General Eason having said "These are rats worthy of charges of treason. We shall not mingle with those we are trying to bring judgement upon. For if this is done often we will lose sight of our path and wander the wrong way."
A few days later as new years has come, HQ had been able to convince the soldiers not to participate in any intermingling with the seperatists.
On the 5th of January, gunfire from both sides had resumed. To the north the 87th Infantry brigade had struck their attack at the hamlet of Rigeilio decimating several seperatist artillery positions. On the centre heavy fire ensued from both sides. the Wagenturf woods with both sides unable to drive the other out. On the 6th the seperatist aboard pickup trucks had launched a heavy assualt on the centre initially driving the Everestinos out of the Wagenturf woods. They pushed forward but as some of the drivers do not even have drivers license and proper training their assault was bogged down to the pulp. This had allowed 92nd and the 37th brigades to rapidly force their way through the scattered trucks, virtually ducks decimating them. On the 7th - 16th both sides the everestinos had gained ground chasing the seperatists back to the village of Wagenturf. Evereston's HQ had then decided to risk it all on a heavy assault on the village as the battle was taking too long. Well coordinated at 1st the everestinos had recklessly charged....
into a trap..
The everestinos.. who had participated in the assault initially gaining ground had been massacred by guerilla seperatist hiding in unsuspecting places..

Evereston to enact new laws regarding children
In the mid 2000s a brand of feminism arose in Evereston and still set to grow even futher. Believers of Everestino Solitudinarian Feminism or ESF had argued that women are to not marry and are to take up positions in the goverment. Without childbirth they seek to rely on the future technology of cloning.
"These radicalists have resorted in believing in a technology which will be far in the future or is impossible as their messiah!" - Mason Pointotz, author of "Jailcell that only the goverment sees"
To counteract these lunatics, King Pierre has enacted a new law coined as the "Minimum of 2".
This law states that all married women, excluding the infertile are to give birth to at least 2 children. If they should not comply by taken to the [REDACTED] [REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED][REDACTED] and forced to comply.

Khagan of the Kirinian Khaganate makes sudden visit to Extremity Heights!
Yesterday in the evening, the Khagan of the Kirinian Khaganate has arrived at the capital, marking a first step for the government in actually making new friends between 2 nations.
Re Yaermand had to say the following on the topic:
"This was something in the plans for a while - not only were we in close relations already due to the situation in Torturia - but the recent opening of MerrerEats in their capital, Khanbalik, has also marked a signifcant step forward in relations between us. I believe that this should open a new generation of peace between us - even if we weren't really enemies before."
Increased security and police presence was ordered and deployed in Extremity Heights, as multiple announcements explained the sudden blockades and police presence.
A lot of people caught on fast and actually quickly bought and waved Extremian and Kirinian flags together, with people cheering and welcoming the Khagan.
It is rumored that there is going to be an "act of friendship", which encompasses a non aggression pact, and multiple bilateral economic agreements looking to improve and help one another.
Could we also expect more trading, a visa-free status between one another??
Could there also be a military economy, selling technologies and weaponry to one another?
This is very exciting, and people all over the internet in Extremium welcomed the sudden new visitor.
The League of Free Nations public poll underway - expelled and condemned Torturia to invite us!
A couple of days ago, a new public poll published by the Ministra of Housing, Citizen Relations (MHCR) asks the question of whether or not the people would want to join the LoFN in the case of total expulsion of Torturia.
The MHCR has said that the poll can be taken on their polls in their "HOISE" (lit. "VOICE") app, a government app which was launched 2 years ago by the previous Regency, aiming to digitalize your average Extremian and have all their documents on hand in an electronic format.
This new poll is one of the first instances of an actual official, on topic poll being made to give the citizens a voice in a matter.
The LoFN has approached Extremium with a direct invitation right after they removed and condemned Torturia for their wrongdoings, and a lot of citizens on the internet praised the move done by the LoFN, some immediately saying that "LoFN has been cleansed from evil, we should join!"
As soon as the announcement was done, the aforementioned poll was launched to tackle the question if the people want to join in the first place. Considering how the Khaganate was also invited, it could be very useful for finding even more allies, keeping ourselves safer and much more secure.
Regarding the question of joining the LFN or not, the Diet will be reassembled tomorrow midday, and will be televized on all official channels, with news outlets and journalists keeping a close ear.
The question will be: "Should Extremium join the LoFN?"
The public opinion poll will last until then, and the results of which will be revealed during the Dietary Assembly.

Hi, you need to join the Discord first in order to make roleplay posts
Children stuck under buildings, mothers screaming to no avail, Kamins East side downtown is crushed to its very core. As the battleship continues to roar with its cannons. The sound of trumpets can be heard from the distance. Its the army! WE HAVE BEEN SAVED! screams a child with its leg stuck under a piece of concrete. Bomber planes rush across the skies and straight to the heart of the terror in the sea. They approach the battleship and begin to spray torpedoes down below. Meanwhile, patrol boats wait on the shore to rush to the inside of the ship once the torpedoes hit.
Thanks for the information.

shame on white flag
After Extremiums government declared that as long as you raise a white flag and scream, they would help you cross the TEMA, the white flag has become a symbol of capitalism, democracy and betrayal here in Torturia. Such unloyal and unloved citizens. Why would you want to go to Extremium. Ive been there and even the mountains reek a smell of capitalism. Disgusting. Vera Haksor quotes. The white flag has become a symbol largely hated by most Torturians. Some have even gone as far as dying their paper light yellow to not get stared at by their neighbours.
Picking up Torturian signals on their radars, the fleet begins transitioning smoothly from attack to defense, the ships turn their attention to the skies. The remainder of the present airforce takes off from the aircraft carrier while those previously raiding Kamin City turn back, sandwiching the attacking bombers. As the torpedoes begin to rain down, dozens of anti-air missiles dash into the air, colliding with the bombs in a fiery vortex. Although a few bombs manage to land on the fleet, only one corvette is sunk. The Torturian bombers, who have now dropped their load, are now left unprotected and exposed due to their lack of escorts. They are but helpless sheep waiting to be slaughter by the incoming fighters. The patrol boats, on the other hand, had long since been detected by Kirinian submarines. The only reason why they haven't yet struck the patrol boats is to avoid collateral damage on civilian vessels. Once the fleet dares move out of its lair, the submarines shall strike.

No need to argue here. Coming from the Black Hawks is not indicative of being problematic. Move on.

a fleet of lightning15 fighter planes zoom past the burning rubble. a large millitary base is situated on the east side of Kamin therefore making it extremely easy to send out planes to aid the bombers. Lightning15 jets are not the most advanced but certainely the most produced with over 150 units as of 2026. 48 were sent out today to combat the attack. the sky has now become a arena of sheer dogfight between plane to plane. obviously, the Torturian planes are at a great disadvantage as not only do they ned to combat the enemy planes but also the anti aircraft guns. the bombers are now retreating but some stayed to land their final blow. a suicidal mission to crash straight into the starboard side of the vessels. the ship is now tipping by approximately 12-15 degrees as the plane has crahed right into the starboard side. if this mission goes on as planned, the planes will be a piece of cake to handle as without the ships, they are unable to refuel. this means they cannot fly back to their homeland. the planes are just a distraction. the main objective is still to sink the mothership.
Fortunately, the damage has been contained to no more than 10 vessels and half a dozen fighters as the dogfight progressively begins to shift in the Kirinian airforce's favor. Without the support of any additional firepower and with the arrival of the second fleet, the majority of the Torturian bombers had already been shot down by the time the fighters finally arrived. The fighters, although packing more firepower than bombers, would find themselves in the same situation as the bombers - outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded. Their numbers soon begin to thin while losses on the Kirinian side mount at a significantly slower rate. With the entire focus of both fleets now on the aircraft, the submarines have decided to take it upon themselves to fire at the docked patrol vessels, dealing heavy damage to the fleet. Fighting away from home seemed like a daunting prospect when the 3rd fleet initially departed from Port Tsetserleg, but the task at hand began to look easier as easier as the Torturians make horrid decision after horrid decision.
Torturia surrenders under unwilling to kill any more citizens to defeat the fleet. I repeat Torturia surrenders under unwilling to kill any more citizens to defeat the fleet.

The fleet receives the transmission and retreats. Their message is clear: The attack has ended, but the international embargo will last as long as the authoritarian government policies stand.

Aftermath of the 7-13 attacks
Welcome to TON, Torturia Official News. After The Kirinian Khaganate brutally attacked the capital of Torturia, Kamin via brute force of a fleet of ships and fighter planes. The damage has certainly been done to the western south side of the city. Now lets hear what civilians think of this attack. The reporter then rushes to a mess of concrete and debris that was once a building. She then hands the microphone to a middle aged man standing in front of the building in tears.
I worked so hard for this building. After the government passed out the 10k a year policy, I was so happy. I left my small family on the countryside to live in the capital. And now look what the Kirinians did to us I was one of the lucky ones. Some of my neighbors died while they were trapped. If the government or the Queen is watching this, I want to give you a message. Never let the Kirinians walk all over us again! This time, we let them win but next time once we have the big what do you call them? Ohh yes, giant missiles, well bomb em to a million pieces!
thank you for the message. I hope your home will be rightfully rebuilt. Now, let us visit the Queen and see her opinion about this attack. A helicopter then lands on the rubble. The reporter hops in and they eventually arrive the the Zhemchug palace.

West Vesteria Joins the League of Free Nations
After many weeks of contemplation among the West Vesterian government, they have finally released a public announcement with their intention to join the League of Free Nations.
West Vesteria recognises this invitation as an opportunity to promote unity and freedom across the Talonian Archipelago. Our intentions are to contribute to the overall goals of this international organisation, while maintaining West Vesterias dedication to our own citizens. All branches of the West Vesterian government, and the citizens of West Vesteria look forward to the next chapter with our membership in the League of Free Nations.
Criminal from Tarukistanate
With reports regarding a high-level criminal potentially being within the West Vesterian borders, all levels of police and state security have been informed. While the general public remains unaware of this alleged criminal presence, the West Vesterian government remains on high alert until the criminal is apprehended.
Alstov On Don, Extremium
The League of Free Nations
Tarukistanate would like to be formally accepted into the league, and bear the fruits of peace and harmony across all of Talonia. The League is seen as an opportunity for countries to meet eye to eye to discuss and solve the hardships of Talonia. Our intentions inside of the league will be to promote peace across the region, and provide a safe haven for countries of all Ideologies.
Rebuilding Aid to Torturia
The Tarukistanate government has decided that it would be in our best interests to aid Torturia as we would like to continue trading with them. The Equipment being sent is:
⦁ 500 workers for rebuilding (will be sent back after finished)
⦁ 5,000 MRE packets of Food
⦁Foreign Designer to Plan the rebuilding of the city
⦁ Basic Equipment for the workers
⦁ 5 Excavators and Bulldozers
LIVE FROM THE EXTREMIUM NATIONAL UNION DIET
Journalist: We are currently in the National Union Diet, live to you as you can see, It seems like it's a much calmer day compared to last as nobody really seems tense. However, the assembly is about to begin.
The camera pans to the Kirinian Khagan sitting and watching from a guest room, with guards covering the room. It seems like he decided to watch the democratic process with his own eyes.
KI: All rise!
Everyone got up in the room, as a brief pause was made, and then Ki cleared her throat.
KI: The Diet is now in session over the issue regarding the invitation to the League of Free Nations. Regent Yaermand, please stand up and explain the situation and present your personal point.
The Presidential Regent, Re Yaermand got up, pulling up a piece of paper.
RE: Thank you for assembling the Diet, Miss Speaker. We are here today to discuss the invitation into the League of Free Nations - a union-like entity which was started by Vladis in order to unify multiple countries under the guise of diplomacy. I believe accepting the invitation will increase the relations between us and the rest of the world, especially countries of the league. As a result, I'm all for it.
KI: Very well. Thank you. Who would like to respond immediately?
Before Ki could finish her sentence, Ta Bera'he pressed her button.
KI: Jormungand Admina Representative, Ta Bera'he, please speak.
TA: Thank you speaker. I'd like to inquire from the Regent - do you mind reminding this Diet who the members of the League are?
RE: Of course. Vladis, Grenaltar, Oturyaland, Cayo Perenico, and now the Khaganate, and West Vesteria.
TA: Are you not forgetting one nation?
RE: If you mean Torturia - then they were expelled, condemned and had sanctions applied to them a few days ago. It was all over the news, Bera'he.
TA: A-Ah. V-Very well, then my only other argument is... aren't some of these nations not really democratic?
RE: ...If these flawed democratic nations wish to be friends with us, more power to them. Hopefully they learn a thing or two about the benefits of a democratic process. Being a beacon of democracy and true civilian representation is more than hard, however, with enough talks, work, and meetings, we may influence others to liberalize. This isn't a threat to anyone, but it is something that we want all people in the world to feel - to feel like they matter in the grand scheme of things.
Everyone started going "OOOO!" again, this time much more excitedly.
And the mallet slammed down!
KI: ORDER! ORDER IN THE DIET! Regent Yaermand, would you like to back up that with the results of the public vote for the opinion of the people about joining the League?
RE: Most certainly, speaker. Please look at the main monitor of the Diet.
The monitor lit up, as it faded into a slide with an empty piechart, with the top saying "WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THE LEAGUE OF FREE NATIONS, CONSIDERING THAT TORTURIA WAS KICKED OUT?" and a smaller text saying "DATA TAKEN WITH HOISE".
RE: Please, show this diet the results!
And with a bit of tension, the results started counting up, as eventually it turned into a percentage of 78 vs 22%. Final turnout - 89% percent.
The diet reacted with their OOOOs again, as some even clapped. There was little tension or opposition regarding the issue after Re's speech.
It seems like Re is a real magician with words - being able to convince others otherwise with just a couple of sentences.
The diet assembly kept going, regarding more smaller issues...
Tarukistanate, Alstov On Don
A Flag Change
Tarukistanate never thought to change its flag until a news reporter made a comment about the flag to the leader himself, Ivan Taruki. The reporter said "I feel like it's just too complicated you know? a more simple design that would better represent all of the broad types of socialism would be better and reflect more on our true revolution." These words really stuck with Ivan, eventually making him propose a flag change to the entire country. The referendum was held and the results came in.
67% In Favor
33% Against
With these undeniable polls coming in, the flag was officially changed.
Ivan Taruki Wishes to Visit Extermium
Ivan Taruki was quoted to have said "I sometimes marvel at the cities of Extermium" which caused him to become heavily interested in visiting the capital of Extermium, Extermity Hights. Most of the government and Ivan Taruki also feel as they have been getting into a "Cold War" scenario with Extermium by supporting Torturia. Ivan Taruki would like to come over and visit the capital and have talks with the president of Extermium, hopefully securing some trade deals and economic plans with Extermium to gain better relations. The entire government waits eagerly for Extermium's response.
Torturia, Alstov On Don, Extremium
flag change
If you look closely at our flag recently, you will realize there is a slight change. The falcon in the central area of the flag is now wielding a Zlyzuby, an ancient weapon used in medieval ages by Torturian warriors. The falcon is also wearing a crown with emeralds. Only the ruler is allowed to wear a crown and let alone with emeralds. It is impossible to obtain here in Torturia and was mined long ago all the way out in what is now known as Oturyaland. Flag changes can only occur in 1 of these 3 conditions. Either a monarch dies, a change in political ideology or preparation of a wartime scenario.

Live from the Ministra of Foreign Affairs
RESPONSE TO THE LEAGUE OF FREE NATIONS INVITATION, TARUKISTANIAN LEADER WISHING TO VISIT EXTREMIUM
Now talking is the Head of the Ministra of Foreign Affairs, Kuubosei-Ki.
"Good day.
Today we had a Dietary Assembly to discuss an invitation to the League of Free Nations assembled by Vladis.
After a short discussion and a public vote, the Extremian government has officially decided to accept the invitation as long as there are not going to be any persuasion to change our position on something in a way of "requirement"
We want the League to understand that we're joining the League in order to participate in a fair diplomacy between nations, and we want to keep it fair for our citizens as well - who are the real members of the League.
After all.. it is a League of "FREE" Nations.
We are looking forward to the cooperation between the multiple member-states of the League of Free Nations.
Now, on the topic of the Tarukistanian leader, Taruki Ivan wanting to visit Extremium - Extremity Heights exactly..."
Kuubosei-Ki put her hands together, smiling a bit.
"...We welcome you!
Of course, we don't wish to concede on our position on the Torturian situation, as we heavily condemn their treatment of their civilians.
Having a sizeable Torturian diaspora right here in Extremium, we know a lot of what Queen Vera wouldn't want you to know...
Either way, that is off the topic. On the topic of how you will be arriving and how many people you can take, all of that information will be sent in private information channels.
We hope you will enjoy your stay in Extremity Heights.
That is all."

Aid To Torturia
To improve relations between Torturia and Birobidjan, the Birobidjanian Govnerment has sent 1 billion Gehrahs to Torturia so that they can recover from the recent attacks Torturia has been subject to. When questioned by the media if this meant Birobidjan was siding against The Kirinian Khaganate, Prime Minister Isaac Zadov stated, Yes we stand against the The Kirinian Khaganate, we do not and have never supported nations who are imperialist.
An Update On The Strike
Parliament has passed a law to raise the minimum wage. This means that the railroad companies have to pay their workers more which is a massive victory to the unions. However since the issue of poor working conditions has not been addressed by the government the strike continues.
Aquila Talonia, Alstov On Don
Thank you for the offer
MILITARY BUDGET INCREASED BY 4%
Following a recent financial report, it has been revealed that the military budget would be increased to cover 12% of the GDP, which leads to a staggering spending of $847,200,000,000. Many have critiqued this decision, calling for more spending to be allocated into, say, education or welfare. The Khaganate has released no statement or response, leaving critics in a state of helpless anguish.
This budget increase won't be used for nought, however. The assembly of additional Tsurkhai-class destroyers have been ordered, each one costing $4.5 billion per unit to manufacture. Complementing this will be the construction of a plethora of shipyards across the coast, dedicated to military use. With our current capacity, the estimated date of completion is set in late 2026. Thousands of missiles have also been ordered from Buyantu-Baatar, Aegis Paradizna, and a variety of other arms companies, leading some to speculate that the airforce could also receive an overhaul. Presently, the allocation of the majority of these funds remain a mystery. Something malicious is brewing.
Alstov On Don
rebuilding and remembering
After the frequent kind donations made my Tarukistanate and Birobdjan, the west south side of the capital is being quickly rebuilt. If the progress continues as such, the operation should be able to be finished in around 1 month to 2 months with top of the line technology such as advanced cranes, escalators etc. Damage included over 200 broken homes and over 15 government owned buildings such as work offices, local news stations etc. The part of the city The Kirinian Khaganate fleets destroyed was the slum parts of Torturia which are the closest by the Arctic Ocean as the conditions are harsh and its easy to profit off of selling fish.
Over 10,000 were injured and over 5000 dead. Over 900 will be added to that if we account for all the pilots who sacrificed themselves to protect the city. If they werent here acting as a major distraction and obstacle, Kamin could have very well suffered a whole lot more. Many were shot down by ships but 1 plane crashed right into Kamins destroyer on the east west side of the fleet causing the ship to sink. Many more bombers destroyed ships in the attack. They are true heroes. However, one of the survivor pilot quotes dont thank me. The bravest ones all died in the hands of those damn ships. My own brother was talking to me right before he got called to protect the city, now hes dead. Fallen into the ocean never to be seen again

Protests erupt in Everton and Paultinotown over foriegn aid package sent to Torturia
Recently protests begin to erupt in the major cities of Everton and Paultinotown. The protesters have condenmed the goverment for being lenient on what they describe as "a Solitary Confinement cell made of chunks of land."
Torturian flags smeared with dirt and photoshoped pictures of Queen Vera decapitated would be proudly displayed on the streets. "Evereston, a monarchy built on the welfare of it's core, it's citizens shouldn't sympathize with lunatics who are a threat to the international community." Says Avery Wellington as she manacially waves a picture of the Torturian Flag with a dead eagle. "It has been obvious that the goverment only wants to place corporations such as Leipzin in their territory to earn income! For who? the demented royal family who crave for money." "Kirin obviously had to barge in and set them off to migrate!" says Gilbert Montano who then drinks from his water bottle "Look at their Queen, a psychotic serial killer blended with a spoiled ill disciplined princess to the maximum degree! Get her to accept some a## car dealerships so we'll make a profit then the profit gets fed to more demented b####rds!" As he violently stomps his foot on the ground.
To avoid further mayhem in the streets, King Pierre had released a responsne.
"I do not concern myself of Torturia's policies, neither should you. It isn't a threat to our soveriegnty or to our domain or interests as a nation. Intervention in another nation's interest to tackle another isn't the type of policy we should take. As the armed forces of this nation, the army, the navy and the airforce are merely to protect our nation and our allies not to project power on other nations. Why should you parade arround happilly with other's leader's head's cut off and their flags smeared? Queen Vera is demented I know but doing actions that stabilize others should be the 1st option, decaptitation comes later if desperately needed. That is why I had included the country's finest therapist in the foriegn aid package. As for Leipzin motors, profit shall be directly given back to healthcare, welfare, the armed forces, public transportation and others."

MerrerEats to become number one fastest growing business in Extremium
MerrerEats - the biggest "fast food" chain of restaurants has been graded on the number one most growing restaurant of 2026 so far - as it opened a new subdivision of locations in Kirin - with the first one opening in Khanbalik about a week ago.
MerrerEats has been the biggest food chain in Extremium for a while, however with them opening locations outside of Extremium is starting to look like they are branching out - into the whole wide world.
This is a great thing to do - exporting our culture and our delicious cuisine abroad for all members of society to come and enjoy!
I personally hope that they succeed and actually open more places in other countries!
We managed to get a private interview from So Tachibeao - the genius CEO behind MerrerEats and the founder behind the famous chain. Here's what he has to say:
"Well, I was visiting Kirin once and saw that their main way of getting meals and food was from those supermarkets... don't remember their names, but they were premade, prepacked meals basically!
And you know what prepacked meals are... not fresh! So my first thought after trying some was... 'not bad, this is tasty for a prepacked meal. But it's not fresh - even if it was made a couple of hours ago'.
So what did I do? I started learning a couple of Kirinian phrases - some sweet words, talking to some people and businessmen in the country... Eventually, I managed to secure a deal to let them open a restaurant in the heart of Khanbalik!
And guess what... 9 days later, it's a blast. It was a good call to rent 2 floors instead of the original plan for one - because it's doing really well!
I can tell you for sure - the world can know what fai jo naibataen (fish and sweet potatoes) is like! Not to mention that the malpudden (milk pudding) is also popular as a dessert. Maybe we can have more genuine, store-bought malpudden supplied to there? But that's up to the trading and economic authorities...
I tell you what - I'm going to open a location in Birobidjan. It's been in the process for a while - it was actually our first target for a foreign grand opening, but due to the kosher laws with food there - we had to make some new rules and a new logistics chain in order to guarantee freshness, deliciousness, and kosher! Birobidjan City - here we come."
Well, you heard it there people.
MerrerEats is expanding and it doesn't seem like they're stopping! We wish them the best of luck.
I wonder how HamHam PangPang is going to react to this massive spike of growth - branching out internationally is HUGE.
Pensions should be cut by 60% - Ministra of Housing, Citizen Relations new public poll shows
2 days ago, on HOISE, the MoHCR has made a public poll asking what they think of the pension. This poll was actually targetted to civilians 50 and above, as the most average retirement age is 56, with people planning to retire YEARS before actually going through with it.
With the ability of being able to see and filter the votes, filtering only 50 and above votes have shown that with a 92% turnout, not only are most of our older citizens technologically literate, but are also very eager to vote on public polls.
The official results published on their website had a comment saying that "The highest category says that the pension should be cut - not completely but by a significant amount in order to save money from the budget of the government, and also make the elderly not overly rich due to their retirement fund percentage having been implemented shortly after unification, and with the pensions being pretty high already, people retiring find themselves overflowing with money.
An anonymous female civilian, aged 64 that retired at 58 had this to say:
"Of course, I haven't been in the program of the retirement fund my entire life, right? I retired a mere 6 years ago, making it... err... aboooout... 17 years of paying the pension fund percent with my taxes. And as I retired and tapped into it, and then also considering my personal savings, and now the pension? I like money like every person, right? But this is too much! I feel like I am robbing the government while someone else may need it more... like our military! Imagine how many technological and military.. errm.. gun or radar advancements we could have! Hell, if not the military, why not boost the tourism industry, maybe the engineering industry? I have heard that other nations were making record-breaking micro-chips... I think that this country's welfare, public health, public education... all of that yes? I think the government has done more than enough for us in that aspect... I think it's about time Extremium, and miss Yaermand actually understand it... our past Regencies were really good for the average civilian, and I think it's about time we start evolving on a defensive or technological scale - as she said in that military funding announcement... stop playing catch up, and start making new standards!"
"Very well, how much do you think the pension should be cut by?"
"I say... errr... 60 to 80 percent maybe? Maybe just 65? I am not sure.. because I genuinely do not believe I need a pension. We should really save money and spend it on things that we COULD have instead..."
Reading comments on the "extra comments" question in the poll, the MoHCR actually reported that a large amount of retirees actually believe that they have more than enough and wish to somehow return a part of their money, or at least have their pensions decreased from 50, to 80 percent. There is a sizeable minority saying that they want the pension gone for good - which is not something you'd expect older civilians to say in other countries.
The MoHCR has requested that the Ministra of Financing, Banking and Taxing (MoFBT) look into the amount of government funds used for pensions and retirement funds - and see by how much it could be possible to reduce the pension in order to save more money and redistribute most of that into other sectors of the country.
If this really is going to end with the pensions being radically cut - maybe there could be more military factories built and more projects being done by military companies all over Extremium!
Will freedom ever rise or will the monarchs power prove to be unstoppable?
*you are now watching a live broadcast made by TON about the protests occurring right now in Sokoliny Glaz*
Welcome to TON, today we visit a major economic hub on the far east of Torturia, the 2nd largest city in the country with over 3 million inhabitants, Sokoliny Glaz. This visit is not a vacation however as protests are occurring right as we speak in the heart of this ancient and heavily industrialized area. As we know, the anti migration policy has recently been issued and is strictly followed. As we can see now with the TEMA. Crowds of protesters gather this weekend about this policy. They are now raising hate flags and posters as you can see behind me in the distance. Due to Queen Vera currently visiting Extremium incognito, the local police is having a rough time controlling the crowd. Some of the protestors say they will stay here UNTIL the government gives them what they want. What they want is the freedom of vote. Demonstrated by Extremium. There are now over 250 people in the town square and more is gathering by the minute. They have become extremely agitated and is now kicking government property and chanting free speech poems. More will be continued tomorrow as it is now 1am and the weather is getting more hostile by the minute

Evereston's foreign minister taken hostage after more protests erupt.
With the unrest spreading rapidly, King Pierre has released a speech regarding the situation but his attempts to pacify the protesters by word were ignored. As the 1st major protest in the capital city of Overhill had began. 1 Day after the protest in Overhill Evereston's foreign minister was taken hostage by a few protesters who had broke into his car once they had saw him leave for his home. This recently string of unrest and backlash from the citizens may force King Pierre to reconsider it's diplomatic stance on Torturia-. "F### The king!" says everestino protester Lane Berk having torn a picture of King Pierre "If he is to dwell with the barbaric goverment of Torturia, consider him as equal to them! If we want to decapitate Torturia's Queen do the same to our own demented old man!"
