Chyraq Carthlic, seeing the troubles that Chyraq is currently facing, would like to extend an offer of two Carthlician military units being deployed to Arabec and Karayork to help support the rightful government. The units would consist of 2000 infantry each and 20 tanks each. This is mainly due to fears that these revolutions in your nation may inspire others here.

Arms deals
Montoran arms dealer, seeing the potential for profit, arrange meetings with ChyraqI separatist leaders offering to supply the new nations with millitary grade rifles and other weaponry, paid for by loans given by the same companies, to be repaid if the war is won. A similar offer is made to the federal government, although with the terms including that repayments are to begin being made right away instead of after the war concludes.

FORMATION OF THE INTERCONTINENTAL DEFENCE CONCORD
Astriya has sent invitations to nations it considers to have the same interests as itself to form an alliance that will be known as the Intercontinental Defence Concord. The alliance shall be both economic and militaristic, though members wonÂ’t be forced to join wars against their wills.

The first commercial cruise from the ports of the new provinces has taken to the seas. Onboard the highly public cruise was the emperor, minister of defence, minister of finance, the prime minister and half a batallion to protect them. The cruise ship was followed by a single destroyer. The spectacle was televised and the tickets to get on the cruise sold out in a minute of them going online for sale, despite the large premium to get on the luxury cruise. The emperor and ministers were seen chatting with household name industrialists and other business people. Their highness the emperor was reported to only have drank Thorbian drinks and had on a fur hat that was gifted to them by a local hunter and dressmaker from the port cities. The cruise was televised late into the night with ads for Thorbian watchmakers and auto manunfacturers sprinkeled in.
The public shots of the sprawling construction in the new provinces were advertisements for families to consider moving. With the first schools being built on good pace, regular life there might start sooner than planned.

With permission from the Republic of Dalinovia, the Astriyan navy has initiated a blockade of the gulf of Chyraq, denying any vessels unaffiliated with IDC entry into the gulf. This includes Montoran merchant ships delivering arms to Chyraqian rebels.
Molovar, Chyraq
As the gulf is now secure, the Astriyan 2nd fleet begins making the voyage across the gulf to assist their allies in Chyraq.
Molovar, Chyraq
The Thorbian goverment and Primavalle have signed a military pact of protection for eachother. They are not obligated to help eachother in armed military situations but due to their simular interests they are inclined to help out eachother militarily and economically.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM
The fleet stops by in the port city of Saladinah.
“Greetings, my friend,” a sailor says to a Chyraqian soldier, walking off the dock after unloading the fleet. “No worries about the war up north. We’re here to handle it.”
“Great! We thank you for your help. Are you a part of the squadron that’ll advance up towards El Dorando? If so, you’re coming with us,” the Chyraqian soldier said, with a big smile on his face.
The Astriyan sailor gasped. “What a coincidence! Looks like that’s where we’re headed. You’re part of the Chyraqian 15th Corps?”
“Indeed,” the Chyraqian soldier said, “what is your name?”
“My name is Johan. You?”
“Abdulrahman.”
The two men shake hands and begin chatting. After a few minutes, the Astriyan soldierÂ’s radio begins to rustle. A croaky Astriyan voice begins speaking.
“Excuse me, got something on the radio.”
The Astriyan soldier listens to the man in the radio. His expression begins to look forbidding.
“Abdulrahman, your general has dismissed you. Get as far away from here as you can. Go.”
“What?” the Chyraqian soldier said, surprised, “this is so precipitous!” He sighs. “Well, I guess I have no choice.”
The Chyraqian soldier walks away. The Astriyan soldier looks relieved. “All clear,” he says into his mic as he walks back onto his ship.
Boom. The harbor is leveled by the fleet. All hell has broken loose.
Molovar, Chyraq
The Thorbian government has declared neutrality in the Chyraqi conflict but has sent a press team into the battle zone. The goverment has supplied the reporters with 400 year old chainmail as regular body armour is being used by the partially mobile army. The press report that the armour feels light but the supplied helmets and gauntlets are hot. The short supply of goods also results in them only being provided with a 20 year old off roader and a speed boat. They are not a part of any branch of the Thorbian military and are neutral party in the conflict and have protection.
Molovar, Chyraq
Gonna be breaking from my news article style writing to just talk bluntly about the conflict

Being legal exports (that the government stands to benifiet from), the Montoran Naval Forces is legally obligated to respond to the attempt at the blockade. Several capital ships move to escort the merchant ships and warning shots are fired.
Astriya, Molovar, Chyraq
Carthlic again offers troops to Chyraq to support their government against the insurgents and invaders. Two units. 2000 infantry per unit. 20 tanks per unit. All you have to do is say yes and our navy will begin shipping the troops. Through the Astriyan blockade no matter the cost.
Molovar, Chyraq
Yes

Seeing the escalation of the conflict and the mutual interest due to the IDC, Primavalle is sending 25.000 armed ground soldiers -of which 500 coming from the Specialized International Security Battalion- in order to help the nations of Astriya and Terebouem. The Troops have already sailed from Boccea's military base and will soon arrive to Terebouem to then get to the city of Saladinah.
Astriya, Molovar, Chyraq
The blockade stays in place. The Astriyan 3rd and 4th fleets composing of 8 aircraft carriers, 98 destroyers, 45 cruiser allsorts, and 30 corvettes is set to arrive tomorrow and so the 2nd fleet carrying out the blockade prepares to use force against the significantly smaller Montoran navy if no agreement has been reached.
Molovar, Chyraq
The Astriyan navy is by no means invincible, but it most certainly is the largest and most expansive of its kind. No puny attempt to bypass the blockade will force the prestigious 2nd fleet to kneel.
Molovar, Chyraq
acknowledging the importance of the conflict in Chyraq, Primavalle is sending 25k more troops following the same route as the previous one, to help the IDC.
Primavalle also fiercely announces the creation of the Bosnian Ape Society for Economics and Defense (BASED) for international interbank currency exchange: the system will be used by the IDC to cut Chyraq from any commerce with the IDC until the end of the war.
Astriya, Molovar, Chyraq
Seeing the conflict unfold in Chyraq, the Terebouremese parliament has unanimously voted for sending 5,000 volunteers, 10,000 small arms and 200 vehicles to help the IDC, under their control and command. However, the military has agreed to put the deployed volunteers under one (1) tour of duty, of which they will return back to Terebourem via Astriyan aircraft.

Molovar reinforces Montoran merchant fleets
In order to help potential negotiations go more in favor of the merchant fleets headed towards the Chyraqi rebels, Molovar has sent the 3rd, 5th, and 6th Fleets of the Naval Force of Molovar to reinforce the Montoran merchant fleet and escorts. These fleets are composed of 32 light cruisers, 14 heavy cruisers, 88 destroyers, 26 corvettes, 21 frigates, 31 submarines, 3 aircraft carriers, and 5 helicopters. These fleets are led by admiralna nosolvkir Dovetsi Karesha of the 5th Fleet, admiralna vizvatska Piotro Valence of the 3rd Fleet, and admiralna Kazan Nometzovich of the 6th Fleet. “We do not wish for combat, but should the Astriyan navy use violence on the Montoran ships, we will be ready.” stated admiralna navalja-forska Darien Wilejna in an address at the Kolechna in Tevasigrad.
Chyraq
An agreement has been reached with the Montoran government. Astriya will purchase the cargo of the Montoran merchant fleet at an 18% price increase.
Chyraq
Our troops have followed our Astriyan brothers in arms into the port city of Saladinah and are prepared to assist them in the liberation of Chyraq. 30,000 Histonia-Hergrovian soldiers will move west to capture the city of Qaribyah while the remaining 20,000 reinforce the Astriyan lines
Chyraq
Our troops have landed in saladinah, and have started attacking the enemy with a deadly force!
Chyraq
Primavalle is sending additional 25.000 ground troops to Saladinah along with 80 Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon fighter planes and 40 Aermacchi MB-326 bombers.

The imperial senate weary of the Chyraqi war has called for citizens who own firearms to stock up ammunition and for all citizens to stock up with 4 weeks supply of canned food and water. The senate makes it very clear however that the army has zero intention to interfere with any war. Only to take into consideration the current reality. With the admission into the IDC alliance, Thorbia reasons to strenghten itself to be more a great power. With the economy growing after a long time of stagnation, the future of Thorbia appears bright and with powerful allies, safe.

GOING GREEN
While war and bloodshed rages in the faraway land of Chyraq, our homes are changing. Faced with stagnating death rates and agricultural advancements, the ever-growing prospect of overpopulation in urban areas has become a talking point. With more people comes more pollution, and so the council seeks to reduce the odds that the “perfect storm” of environmental problems will damage the all-consuming Astriyan economy. The council has authorized for the construction of two hundred solar arrays sized 14000 acres each in the Astriyan portion of the Erobian Desert. The arrays will put quite a dent in the energy budget, though the council projects that the profit will eventually overcome the loss. The arrays will drastically lower electricity bills, though taxes will be increased to compensate. The demolition of government-owned fossil fuel plants have also been scheduled. Astriya is going green.
Molovar, Chyraq
The imperial senate has declared an increase of sales tax on all alcohol, tobacco and cannabis products. The goal being to limit the peoples' use of such substances and to make more profit off of them. Especially with the booming cruise ship industry.

Income tax? Thats kinda cringe innit
Upon years of anual reviews, the Ministry of Trade has determined the current system of income tax to be a burden on the economy and the nation's poor, therefore, we must replace this system at once. The 2023 budget & taxation plans introduce a replacment: Land Value Taxation (LVT). LVT introduces a levy on the unimproved value of land, which will discourage inefficient use of land resources and takes the burden of taxation off of poorer citizens and on to the richer, landholding classes. Overall, this system provides many benifiets over income taxation.
For more information, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax
Johanna, Molovar
Wait, you guys have poor people??
Are parks classed as unimproved?
It's not a tax on unimproved land, it's a tax on the unimproved value of land.
For example, a massive oil reserve under your property would raise the tax, but building an oil well wouldn't. Buildings in urban areas would also be taxed at higher rates because it's more valuable, considering the location, services, etc, so it encourages making efficient use of the land
Elphonsa, Johanna, Molovar, Carthlic
And to answer your question, parks would be exempt if they are publically owned, which is usually the case

With the mobilisation of the navy for securing the new provinces, the navy has noticed a lack of proper upkeep in many of the ships. The navy calls for a total stop for all naval activity so that all ships in the imperial navy are serviced with the highest of care. Repairs for weapons systems are in order for many ships aswell. With the St. Thorbian docks being taken up by construction of the newest flag ship, many old shipyards are also getting renovations to support war ships. The imperial navy estimates that servicing all ships might take half a year but with large scale upgrades to shipyards the time might go down. With all imperial navy ships stopping to get looked at, the airfore has taken securing the skies above all of Thorbia as their duty. Jets have started darting across the skies and large bombers have been lumbering through the skies until the first vessels can get the green flag and return back on the oceans. The first 4 war ships to currently getting serviced are going to take 3 weeks to get the green flag, as they are the newest in the fleet. The navy will not service any historical wooden ship that might still be techincally in service.

We are withdrawing our troops from anywhere, moving them home, so we can do some additional training.

While the Ice Spikes' neighbors continue to grow stronger by the day, many are questioning bringing back an old tradition that was used by the Ice Spikes in the colonial era: Every man that graduates from secondary school would be conscripted into the military and needed to serve their country for five years. This upset many citizens and mayors alike, but King Shungeldoor III hasn't outright refused the idea. Perhaps some new legislation from the King could give the Ice Spikes a boost in their military power? In fact, the King has already instituted a mass amount of military spending, with 35 billion silvers being given to the Minister of Defense in the last six months.

President Scevola walks up to the podium in front of thousands of journalists, looking quite nervous and shaky. His vice whispers some last words to his ear before the press conference begins. Scevola adjusts his red and yellow tie and starts speaking:
-Good evening. IÂ’m gonna try and break this down as quickly as I can. As everyone has heard, 13 cases of Marburg-A217 have been registered in the country of Primavalle over the last week. The infected people are now isolated in section B12 of the San Luigi di Montfort Hospital, BocceaÂ’s main hospital for viruses. The government expresses concern towards the virus while also inciting citizens not to panic. For now we have the situation under full control. I now yield my time to questions.
A journalist raises her hand and asks:
-Can you tell us more about the virus?
-Right, the fact is that we don’t know much. All we've acknowledged so far is this: one, the virus is a more infective and lethal branch of the Marburg virus. The symptoms are more or less high fever (39-40°C), severe headache, chills, malaise and body aches. After three days from the onset, it's possible to feel cramps and abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea which can last up to a week. In an estimated 70% of the cases the patient dies. Hope this answer satisfies you.
Another journalist screams:
-What are you gonna do regarding external affairs?
-Ok, thanks for the question. First off, since Primavalle hasn't developed an international airline yet, we have little to no fear of passing the virus to other countries. The main issue could be illegal migrants and criminals crossing the Cyrenaican Desert, so i encourage nations such as Astriya, Great Histonia And Hergrovskia, The New Land Of Haiti, The Nederlands, Tarzin Caliphrate, Samepo and Pustynya to make controls around the borders.
-And what about the economy?
-We're going to keep trading using the BASED network since infection from the virus happens only through direct contact, but borders will be closed in and out. For now we're not thinking of a national quarantine.
-Ok thanks my G.
The last journalist impatiently asks:
-What are you gonna do about the war?
-(whispering) shiii, I don't know to be fairÂ
Even though the president whispered, the microphone caught it. So again the journalist:
-What?
-Oh nothing. I was saying, the troops have sailed from Boccea before the first Marburg-A217 infection, so they're gonna keep on fighting in the Chyraqi Civil War. Time for questions is now over, thank you all.
Scevola basically runs out the podium and goes to the bathroom to roll a bluntÂ

President de Vries has released a public statement in response to the Marburg virus outbreak.
“The outbreak is not of concern. Astriya has a competent healthcare system and so fatality rates will drop drastically should the virus reach Astriya, which in itself is quite unlikely. The Cyrenaican desert is nearly impossible to cross on foot. However, we will temporarily halt trade with Primavalle as a security precaution.

Johanna Claims New Lands
After its trek across the ocean from a very distant region, the people of Johanna have started to settle in Talonia.
50 Battleships and 75 government sponsored Cruise Liners are making the back and forth journey across the ocean picking up Johannan citizens in its old region.

With recent events abroad and in Thorbia, the army has been in the spotlight a lot. The biggest cause for debate now is, should the army lose its swords. A 700 year old tradition where men carried their swords into battle. Even with the invention of the firearm, the Thorbian militry kept their old ways. With every conscript getting their own sword after military training to care for, there has been a spot for a blacksmith in Thorbia even before the modern nation. The army and the blacksmiths union has opposed the movement of givin up the sword. The holy emperor Jojo II has also opposed the movement of "declawing" the army. As things stand it's possible that the army will keep its swords and the number of fingers lost in boot camp will remain high.

Alliria, or officially The Imperial commonwealth of Alliria was first established in 668 (10668 A.i.) through the former confederation of Illiria, and re-established through the union of the provinces of the Illyrian river and the formalization of the high council of provinces in 1742 (11742 A.i.).
Currently, Alliria is a union of provinces and de jure a confederation, with its capital in Lillium. its form of government is officially "a imperial commonwealth of provinces" and a constitutional parliamentary monarchy, with the Emperor as head of state and armed forces and the personification of the nation.
Its system of government is tripartite, with the highest power being the Suimi, a bicameral legislative body. executive power is exercised by the Kaldarlia, also known as the high council of provinces and also by the crown council, composed of the emperor and representatives of the provinces, whether they be monarchies such as the many duchies and principalities or the small regional commonwealths and free cities.
Astriya, Elphonsa, Molovar, Chyraq
Geographically Alliria is located to the northwest Phoenicia, separated by mountains from the deserts of the center of the continent with a cold temperate climate from polar air currents and the warm southerners who together walk towards the corridor that separates the continent from the archipelago of the Septentrio island. its relief is mostly composed of the already mentioned mountains to the west, icy plains to the extreme north, hills and alternating conifer forests for the most part.
Alliria's culture is known for its language heavily influenced by western migrations, its typical clothing and writing system, your 13 month calendar, and the religious influence on common day-to-day rites, such as making sacred some animals such as foxes and the polar Ermine in the country.
in Alliria, the penal and electoral majority is 20 years, refends can be requested by the monarch or the people through a large number of signatures proportional to the scale of application, military enlistment is mandatory for all citizens aged 17 to 20 regardless of gender and domestic fox and cottongrass (Eriophorum) are respectively their national animal and plant.

In a recent statement from Joseph Stilan, Great Histonia And Hergrovskia's Prime minister:
"We're fine!" says prime minister Joseph Stilan. "I think this virus thingy is just a bunch of made up nonsense to get economic support from us in the surrounding area." Well we're not buying it! THE VIRUS ISN'T REAL! and you know what? just to prove my point I will personally go and meet the leader of Primaville just to show it's made up nonsense!" Despite warnings from other politicians, and joseph's own advisors, friends and family, He insisted on going and caught the Marburg virus. "Doctors are now safely containing Joseph in a hospital where he shall quarantine for the next 5 months." says head doctor mark smith. "he should recover... hopefully..."

In the office - Terebouremese officials disappointed at public for "unnecessary and pointless ramblings" bringing down political and civil rights all across the nation
Ever since issues were brought up into the house of representatives, the rights of people appear to have dropped as new laws were passed. Terebourem wants to keep it's high standing as a left-wing utopia - not be shifted into making illogical laws suggested by the people.
One official, Ms. Naoto Nakamura, said this in the house when the meeting was called: "I understand that we want to provide the individualist ideology for everyone, but do we need to make laws for people willing to follow the late Armstrong ideology of where the law changes to suit the individual? Do we not realise that this helps one person, but damages the lives and rights of others? I say that we should let opinions be opinions, and not let protestors and corporations into mind controlling the lawmakers of this nation."
As it stands, many others, including the prime minister, has agreed. These recent laws are now being reviewed and retracted as this article is being written.

Providing you with the latest news
VIRAL OUTBREAK IN THE TARZIN CALIPHATE
Cases of the Marburg-A217 virus have been reported all over the urban areas of the vast, sprawling deserts of the Tarzin Caliphate. Apparently, a group of Primavallean citizens who were infected with the virus had trekked across the Cyrenaican Desert in hopes of finding medical care in Tarzinda. The Primavalleans reached the city of Al-Faydah, which became the epicentre of the virus. Within a week, cases were springing up all across the nation, prompting neighbouring Astriya and Samepo to close borders and trade with Tarzinda. Tarzinda is calling for Primavalle to close its borders immediately to avoid further instigation of the outbreak. Due to the high population density of Tarzindan coastal cities, it is estimated that over 10,000 residents may already carry the virus. More on the issue soon.
Molovar, Chyraq
Due to the outbreak of Marburg-A217 in the Tarzin Caliphrate we are now banning all transport to the nation both incoming and outgoing. We are also cancelling the trade routes to the Tarzin Caliphrate as well as Primaville due to how far it is spreading. From a speech to address the nation by King Rawdon Jones.

Capitulation of central government
Seeing the support from Astriya melt away, it wouldn't be long until the Conservative Government began collapsing. Groups splitting off from their leaders became common, and the last sovereign entity of the official Chyraqi Government was left in Baghicago. Since groups had split off, the Almanzair and Labour forces had entered through the old city walls into downtown, where intense fighting engaged. Weapons ranging from World War Two bolt action Rifles to modern anti tank missiles were used across the city, with civilian casualties in the hundreds. BagFM was one of the largest radio stations in Chyraq, and one of the few that was still operational, having only been playing music and weather updates since the war broke out. As the battle agaisnt the government came to a close, both the Almanzair and Labour Council sought to use the radio to turn former Conservatives to their side. The battle that ensued would be one of the most notable in the greater Baghicago engagements.
Four Almanzair IFVs rolled down the main road towards the BagFM building, with six LAPVs following. The CEO of Rohan Oil had personally bought these vehicles for use in the Almanzor army, and paid for them to be smuggled through neutral nations in the Almanzor Desert. The opposing Labour forces however had 2 T-55 MBTs they had taken from the Chyraqi National Armory, and a few trucks acting as transports. The Labour Council forces had heard the IFVs early, and chose a different path that would put them to the left of the Almanzor forces, in a position to flank. One of the MBTs would stay straight with the transports to defend them, and the other went down the other path. As the Almanzair forces approached an intersection, an HE shell struck a beam of a nearby building, sending it crashing right in front of the IFVs. Immediately, the LAPVs disembarked their soldiers and drove back towards base as the IFVs loaded AT rounds. The Almanzor forces possesed a single Javelin Missile system, perfect for taking out atleast one of the enemy tanks. As for the T-55, it had missed the shot and hit a building. Thinking quickly, the drivers chose to go straight forwards and intercept the enemies at a different intersection. They could no longer kill the Infantry, but they could hit the IFVs. When the Almanzor Infantry encountered the T-55 again, they were more prepared. As the Infantry rushed into buildings to prepare the Javelin, the sole M2 Bradley fired its best shot at the T-55, damaging the engine and starting a fire. The T-55 quickly shot back, the HE shell killing the driver and commander of the Bradley. The gunner being the last crewman prepared to load his TOW Missile whilst the enemy tank frantically attempted to put out the fire. Suddenly, the Javelin shot out from a window, striking the T-55's ammunition and blowing it sky high. The Labour forces had heard the explosions and had already approached the BagFM buildings, the soldiers running into the station to take defensive positions. The Almanzor soldiers got the last gunner out of the Bradley, and rigged it with plastic Explosives to prevent capture. The Bradley continued on towards the station with the Infantry following close by. They had reports of several tanks to assist in capturing the stations, so the IFV loaded it's TOW missiles early. The Infantry rushed up first towards the building, ordering their IFV to ambush the tank when it came around the corner. They readied a breacher and crowded around the entrance, waiting for the TOW shell to ring out. The gunner on the Bradley waited painstakingly, until he had perfect visual on the side of a T-55's turret. He pulled the trigger, the TOW Missile instantly hitting the Ammo and vaporizing the crew. As soon as they heard the explosion, the Almanzor soldiers burst in, quickly opening fire on the waiting socialist troops, moving into cover in the process. The commander called for reinforcements to assist clearing the building. Within thirty minutes, the Almanzor forces had swept through the entire building, capturing few and killing many. Pro-Almanzor broadcasts would begin the next day, spreading their word across the ruined nation

DEATH FACTORY
As the Astriyan landings in Saladinah end in great success, the army seeks to capitalize on its advantage. [spoiler=OOC Info]Historically, ChyraqÂ’s insignificant stretch of coastline had always been its weakness, being vulnerable to blockades, supply issues, the whole shabang. If the army were to occupy the entire stretch of coastline, then Molovarian and Div assistance wouldnÂ’t be able to reach Chyraq without declaring war on Astriya.[/spoiler]
Fearing that Chyraqi forces may have a better knowledge of the local terrain than their Astriyan counterpart, the special forces composing of 16,000 soldiers will be deployed in place of regular army corps. Two armies split into sixteen divisions of 500 soldiers will be sent to capture the cities of Saladinah while the other surrounds Chyraqi rebels alongside Vermasian forces respectively. Each individual division will take a different route to their target as their heavy equipment is especially vulnerable to bombing raids. Aerial reconnaissance and orbital satellites will be used ahead of time to mark enemy locations and scout out terrain should engagements be necessary.

Ayyyy you finally joined, welcome!
Dowlest, Molovar
Terebouremese officials have done the same, locking down sea borders and airports until this crisis is dealt with.
Molovar
Are special forces usually that big? I always thought they were at most a hundred soldiers with some support units e.g. helicopters.
You underestimate the Vanguard.
Chyraq
If your special forces unit is that big it would have to be worse then others (examples: worse training, worse equipment, less vehicles, and less discipline)
I'm not saying this to tell you how to run your stuff but i'm trying to make a real world comparison as in the real world their are no elite special forces even close to that size (I believe the closes is India's Marine Commandos which is 7,500 people in size and if you need a US comparison the Navy Seals have only 2,500 personnel)
Molovar, Chyraq
Ok, the Vanguard isn't that big, but I'm just saying as it's probably helping Astriya a lot.

The Astriyan special forces in itself would only number 4,000. The number in that post includes their Terebouemese and Primavallean counterparts.

THE TALONIA SUN
Bringing you the latest news
TodayÂ’s Talking Point - The Beginning of the End?
Cases of the Marburg virus have begun springing up all across Talonia due to Primavallean negligence towards the high infectivity of the virus. From the tundras of Hanshevik to the deserts of Dataran, EVERY NATION IN THE WORLD is now infected with the Marburg-A217 virus. The Talonia Sun advises you to wear a mask, sanitise your hands, and avoid contact with strangers if you leave your house. Remember, the Marburg virus is respiratory and spreads through the air. DO NOT enter enclosed spaces. The fatality rate is as high as 70% in Primavalle and is approaching 20% in other countries. We wish you safety during these chaotic times.
[spoiler=OOC]Phoenician and tropical nations will be affected more severely by the virus. Developed nations will have a significantly lower fatality rate.[/spoiler]
GLOBAL INFECTIONS: 232,429 (12,392 dead)

ASTRIYA PULLS OUT
Due to the upcoming complications that the Marburg virus may cause in the war, the Astriyan high command senses danger and recalls special forces sent earlier. The port of Saladinah is currently being evacuated, with Primavallean and Terebouemese soldiers being sent to Terebouem while the Astriyans return to their homes.

Elphonsan Government Announcement
Due to cases of Marburg-A217 appearing in Elphonsa despite our best efforts to prevent it. The Elphonsan government has decided to initiate a total lockdown of the nation. This is due to both the infectiousness and lethality. Our borders are now officially closed and foreigners will be allowed to return home. We are providing a 10% increase to medical budgets and our scientists have begun research on a cure. The best estimates give us about 2 years till one is found. The worst say 10. We are also halting the mobilisation of forces to expand our territory. We thank you for your cooperation.

The Government of Montora makes changes, enacting the Emergency Disease Prevention Act. This will enable many restrictions and new protocols for sanitation. It includes, but is not limited to
1) non essential international travel is banned, with anyone traveling inside or outside the nation's borders requiring a permit & testing
2) requiring buisnesses to enforce masking and hand sanitation
3) Creating the infrastructure to potentially enact online learning in schools, other sanitary regulations in school.
4) Mandatory 3-weeks at-home quarrentine for those infected
The hope of this act is to stop the virus from spreading quickly so society and the economy can quickly get back on track.
