Rasmus Martin forced to election
Second Kingdom of Zyreaika, July 10th 2027
Northern Ajlar Parliament building
This is Ulveham news with breaking news, Rasmus Martin will be forced to face an election by the Car-Kaiser Michael II, it is still unknown why but many people suspect it might be the change of the emigration laws. Rasmus Martin will only face this election due to the prime minister only being allowed to serve 2 terms. Next up we have---
R. Martin, prime minister: CAR-KAISER MICHAEL II. WHAT THE ACTUAL PASKANA ARE YOU DOING?!
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: I'm doing the only right thing. The people are mad so I want to see if it is because of you....
R. Martin, prime minister: YOU SICK B...
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: You won't dare to finish that sentence or I will behead you.
R. Martin, prime minister: .... You will regret your decision Gartieg.
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: If you lose the election, well I shall imprison you or behead you. It will be my decision since I don't want a civil war like most of the Talonian nations have.
R. Martin, prime minister: Mark my words Gartieg. Your reign won't last so long, Connor will---
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: That's it. GUARDS! TAKE HIM AWAY AND LOCK HIM UP! HE THREATENS THE HEIR AND ME!
Guards take the infuriated prime minister away. Before he leaves he shows the Car-Kaiser a shady looking middle finger.
Undisclosed underground facility, Extremity Heights.
Past midnight.
After doing the checks for the final day of the work of the Seeds of Light, Fubi walked off a bit, telling the others that he was going to stay over a bit.
So Magnolia walked with him, as Fubi looked down a bit.
Magnolia stayed quiet, looking at him a bit, Fubi didn't look as sadistic or anything... just a bit down. Or serious? Magnolia doesn't really know.
Tap.. tap.. tap... the two walked together as Fubi waved a bit at her as a greeting.. and stopped, turning around at her.
Fubi: "...Magnolia, why... are you following me?"
Magnolia: "I don't know, why are you just walking somewhere aimlessly with a mood lesser than usual?"
Magnolia was holding a book he could clearly read the title of... "The Princess of War"... written by an early 20th century Abyssaline writer, Kii Kanzeshou.
Fubi: "..Hm. Smart. I... was gonna go get some personal stuff done before clocking out of the day."
Magnolia: "Ah. Makes sense. I just wanted to report that... Wayne confirms the validity of the books we have printed from his mind are accurate. Near 1 to 1."
Fubi: "So the Bookreading works, then?"
Magnolia: "Precisely. I've added his texts to the database."
Fubi smiled a bit...
Fubi: "Great. Thanks. You're free to go or.. unless you wanted me for something or ask me something."
Magnolia: "Nada, Nah'tersou. Have a good night."
She smirked, bowing, and walking the other way.
Fubi waved a bit at her, wishing her a good night too with a smile, as he kept walking down where he was already going.
And into a cryo-storage facility of sorts.. he came in there, walking our the shelves and looking for something... and he got to the "J" section, as he looked through the freezers...
And stopped. Opening the freezer and pulling out two small containers, labelled "JI JOUSSEN'S BRAINMATTER" and "JI JOUSSEN'S SPINAL FLUID".
He inspected them a bit... and then closed the freezer, as he pocketed the two containers.
Going through the near empty halls, he got to the Bookreading office, where Wayne's memories was turned into books a day prior.
Right as he stepped inside.. and placed the two little containers on the table near the actual machine itself.
But then he turned around, hearing someone coming in.
A tall lady, with red eyes and a long ponytail with a red hairtie. Wearing a labcoat and a green button-up shirt underneath.
She had her arms crossed, which were visibly pretty strong.
Looked serious. A little threatening at Fubi, even.
Fubi: "...My... my... Gabriella..."
Gabriella looked at him from the doorway, sighing a bit.
Gabriella: "What are you doing here, Fubi?"
Fubi: "I-I... was gonna print Ji-san's books."
Gabriella: "And here I was waiting for you to come to the car so that we could go home. Knew you'd be snooping around."
Fubi: "N-No seriously, I just wanted to print the books..."
She came over, leaning in and grabbed his head.. making him face her.
Gabriella: "You made me wait, idiot. I'm a little pissed at that."
Fubi: "...Did my message not send?"
She let out a loud, audible sigh!
Gabriella: "Probably not! Dammit..."
And let go of him, as Fubi sighed out in relief... looking at the ring on his ringfinger for a bit...
Fubi: "Sorry, sorry, but I promise after this.. we can go home."
Gabriella: "I'm not gonna let you stay up after we eat, you need sleep."
Fubi: "I'll read it tomorrow!"
Gabriella: "Yeah.. yeah. Let's get this over with. Together."
Fubi nodded a bit, as that familiar smirk grew on his face again...
Fubi: "...Heh."
Fubi was already putting on some surgical gloves and a mask, as Gabriella did the same, standing up straight. She quickly turned the Printer on and hooked it properly up to the Bookreader.
Fubi in the meantime rechecked the containers and softly opened them up, showing that rubber seal that needed to be pierced... and then he grabbed he two panels that usually would be stuck into the back of a patient.. but here...
One went into the brainmatter container... the other into the spinal fluid.
Gabriella went to the monitor of the machine.
Gabriella: "It's searching."
Silence. Fubi looked a bit intimidated as he saw the needles going through and starting to search through, with the containers softly vibrating.
Ding. Ding.
Gabriella: "...Hm. Good news, Fubi."
Fubi: "...get on with the bookreading, then, heh."
He smirked again, crossing his arms and letting out a sigh of relief.
After about 20 or so minutes of having read the entirety of Ji Joussen's memories.. life... it was able to make multiple books... Up to 6.
This made Fubi a bit stoked... as they watched the printer basically speed-print everything on them. Autobiography.. complex engineering... alternative engineering.. and others...
Fubi stared at the printer, before the machine stopped reading... and the printer quickly finished up writing, as the 6, quite thick books popped out on multiple trays.
Fubi reached for them a bit... as Gabriella took care of everything else, resealing all the containers...
She saw his hands trembling. Reaching for the books as if he just found the philosophers stone...
Gabriella: "Happy?"
She said with a slight smile, as Fubi started reading her autobiography a bit...
Fubi: "...V... Very..."
Gabriella watched Fubi's face... smiling a bit in relief. She hasn't seen such an excited face in a long while. Almost as if a kid that just got something they wanted really badly and for really long.
Gabriella: "Well, let's go home then? You can learn all about her any time now."
Fubi: "...Y.. Yeah."
He sniffled a bit, and smiled...
They stopped by the cryo-storage again to drop off Ji's brain matter and spinal fluid.
Even if it served its' purpose, it's still a loss if they just left it there.
Gabriella saved the data collected and they turned everything off... as she carried 4 of the books, since Fubi wasn't really that strong.
The autobiography and engineering books made from Ji... are extremely thick.
Askrieg, Kirovian Tsardom
Noon, a hospital room in Byrn, Precceton.
Askrieg Commandant Jackie Ryan is sitting in her bed, reading a book. In the VIP care room with her is a squad of Icarus Red, an Askrieg special operations unit, that were tasked for her rescue. After the crash in Arcania, she sustained injury to her abdomen, prompting the men to quickly flew her to a nearby Precceton hospital, where she was held discreetly. The reason is for the discretion is to keep the public in the unknown. If the public knew Jackie Ryan's crash was the direct result of the freaking Light, there would be public outcry against Extremium. And the Consuls wouldn't want that. For the time being, until she is healed, Jackie Ryan will remain in Precceton.
Ryan puts down her book, and groaned, "God, I am massively bored."
Captain Ramirez, commanding officer of Icarus Red, looks up from his nap, "We can't let you out of the room, ma'am."
"Ugh," Ryan audibly groaned, louder than before, "Ain't we allies with Precceton? What's the harm of getting out a minute and let me have a smoke?"
"Ma'am, you just got out of a 4-hour surgery for GSW. But also," Ramirez gestured to the rest of the squad,
The squad says in harmony, "No one knows we're here." Some of them are taking a nap, some are cleaning their rifles, one of them is nibbling on a Preccetonite candy bar.
"I trained you too well." Ryan said, sighing in defeat.
Suddenly, a siren blares in the distance. The whole squad is suddenly alert. Ryan looks out the window at the source of the blaring sound.
"Is that..." Ryan blurted.
"Air raid siren." Ramirez sit up awake from his nap.
"Precceton isn't in a war..." Ryan says under her breath.
The door to the room swings open. In the doorway, is Red 1-1, the other leader of Icarus Red.
"Kit up, boys." Red 1-1 says.
"What's up?" Ramirez says while putting on his plate carriers.
"No idea, but I heard-" Red 1-1 says before being rudely interrupted by a man barging in.
The man is average height, but looks short in comparison to the Askrieg operators. He's wearing an overcoat with a tie and white shirt underneath. The shirt appears white but the colors starting to fade, like it has gone through the dryers for a cycle too long. His hair is in a combover, with a thick bushy moustache on his face. He stands on the foot of the bed and faces Jackie Ryan.
"Otto Bröman, ma'am. Precceton Police Commander." He flashes his badge and ID.
"Otto, I'm Commandant Jackie-" Ryan says, before being interrupted again.
"We're aware." Otto puts his wallet into his pockets again.
"So much for 'no one knows we're here' bullcrap you're peddling." Jackie mocks Ramirez, who scrunches his face into a mocking pout.
"Mind telling us what's happening, Commander Grumman?" Says Ramirez from behind Otto, he's still trying to set up his gear.
Otto did a double take at Ramirez, he didn't seem to realize that the people around are Askriegian operators in full gear.
"Is... Is this your medical escort?" Otto says to Jackie, while gesturing to the operators.
Jackie sighs, and answers, "I wish. They're the lovely special forces that saved me from impending death after my crash." She said sarcastically.
Ramirez just grinned amusedly.
Otto continues, "Huh. Wise spending of the military budget." He turns to face Jackie again, "I am here to escort you out of Byrn, ma'am."
"You still haven't tell us what's going on, Commander." Jackie says.
"Right. Monarchists have rebelled. Their forces are encircling the city." Otto says matter-or-factly.
"You said that a little bit too casually, Otto." Ryan chuckled, she appreciates a stoic man in power.
"What's the plan then?" Ramirez says, coming up from behind the commander. He is finally in gear, and also the rest of the squad.
"Yeah, this doesn't work" Otto says, gesturing to Ramirez.
"What doesn't?" Ramirez looks down to Otto.
"The gear... The guns... Hell, the operators. You don't look local." Otto explained.
"Newsflash, Sherlock. We ain't." Ramirez retorts.
Ryan just chuckles, before saying, "They're my entourage, unfortunately. I hope you got enough seats." She tilts her head to the side, "Or you can hold on to the roof just fine, right Ramirez?"
Ramirez scrunches his face and mockingly said "iT dOesN'T mAtTeR, YoU'rE wElL trAineeed"
Ryan giggles under her breath, "Where are we heading?" Ryan asks Otto.
"Lausinne University. They got a hospital there." Otto answers, while checking in his watch.
"Boys," Red 1-1 appears once more in the doorway, hospital staff and patients are running around in the hallway behind him, "Window of opportunity is closing fast. We gotta move."
"I believe that's our cue." Otto says, "Can you walk, ma'am?"
Ryan limps to the floor, while being held by Ramirez, "If I fall, these guys will catch me."
Ramirez helps Ryan to exit the room, while the rest of the group leave ahead of them. All the while, he mockingly said, "'Oh you guys are 6'5" 210 pounds, you can carry a helpless, 5'10" pretty commandant...' That's you by the way." Ramirez faces Ryan.
"Shut up." Ryan blushes, "I still outrank you, by like, 6 tiers."
The group leaves the Byrn hospital.

Daniel Saari elected into office as prime minister
Second Kingdom of Zyreaika, July 15th 2027
Northern Ajlar Parliament building
This is Ulveham news with breaking news. Daniel Saari will be elected as the prime minister of Zyreaika. He defeated Rasmus Martin by alot of votes. Car-Kaiser Michael II has already approved of this. The election results will be announced soon. The next topic---
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: This was predicted. The people were mad because of Rasmus Martin. So for that I will officially execute him.
D. Saari, prime minister: Rasmus Martin was really a pain to the parliament. We would've thrown him out, but since he was the prime minister back then we couldn't.
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: I know, that's why I wanted an election. Now I will get rid of that dumb Emigration law. It's a f****** pain to the people.
D. Saari, prime minister: We know. He forced the minister of Justice to literally do that or... well not good things would've happened.
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: This is Xavier de Panthero's tenure all over again.... This is exhausting. Like... why are there always corrupt people in a parliament or something. We've seen Aleksanteri II and Aleksanteri III. They both had an military dictatorship! I don't want this to happen to our people.
D. Saari, prime minister: Aleksanteri III.... He was a dictator from the start of his reign. He almost started a f****** civil war with his actions. We do not need another one.
M. Gartieg II, Car-Kaiser: I agree, let's hope this doesn't happen again.....

Genos Statewide Airport, Genosa - 6:00 AM
"Sir, five minutes 'til touchdown," said one of the flight crew, rousing Senior Lieutenant Vasil Balevski from his sleep. He looked out the window and saw the sprawling city of Genos below.
"So, this is Genosa," he muttered to himself. The plane began its approach to the airport as Vasil went over his thoughts in his head. He had never been out of Grusnia before, let alone on the other side of the world to assist fellow Genosan workers. He felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, wondering how the Genosans would accept him.
The plane touched down. "This is a nice airport," he thought, noting the vast difference from the dirt roads he was accustomed to during the civil war.
Putting on his cap and adjusting his tie, Vasil stepped out as the plane taxied to a stop, immediately blinded by the light that was emanating from the center of Extremium, "That light's much brighter in person." He remarked, pulling out a pair of dark aviators. "Lieutenant Basil?" asked one of the Genosans who had come to greet him.
"That's Senior Lieutenant VASIL to you, soldier, The least you could do is get my name right," Vasil retorted. "Of course, sir. Very sorry, sir," apologized the soldier.
"Now, come right this way. We'll get you set up with our commanders."
"Lead the way," Vasil said, looking at the light once again. He couldn't imagine he would be getting much sleep tonight, light or not.

July 15th, 2027.
00:05, Extremity Heights.
A bunch of people, all dressed in suits of different colors, and even some technicians who wore yellow hardhats and red and dark blue overalls...
All wore their protective glasses, as a bunch of rollcalls were called out.. it was pretty loud.
Then in a bit, someone in the front yelled out to everyone to get ready.
The light started softly shifting from pure white... to a gold-ish color, as the brightness itself dimmed softly... and everyone took their glasses or goggles off... as there was a sort of deep, "charging" noise... as the light pulsed.. and then... a loud, glittering explosion. It exploded into millions, maybe even billions of golden little particles...
They spread around and were carried off by the wind, as there was soft gold glitter and the particles... which were actually.. golden, shiny empty book pages... filled the skies above Extremium.. and flew all around.. down to Kirovia... over Torturia... there were even a few pages carried over to Taruk, or Kirin.
But in Extremity Heights at the time, they looked up at the massive tree-like structure. Weird, unusual floor-shapes, with weirdly positioned and variably-shaped windows... and the doors opened, as the rows of people in suits and the technicians went in.
There were 2 massive glass elevators to the sides and the center lobby looked the same as it was planned and seen on the first days' inspections.
However, workers in Orange suits stayed, as they started going to a storage room and then quickly filling the shelves up, with a few technicians going to a small building near the center of the first floor... and then hooking up a few monitors and the lobby computer.
Seems like they were setting up basic library equipment.
Everyone was hard at work, with the others splitting up and going up the elevators.
Second floor, a sleek white, futuristic design. With many colors splattered here and there to add more character, it seemed. The workers with white suits went out, starting to glamorously do their work, stocking the shelves.
Third floor, a light green, "botanic" place, with all the bookshelves reaching somewhat taller than usual, and the place itself being built messily, with all the workers in light green suits lazily and somewhat with good spirit going in and starting to slowly, but surely fill the shelves up.
Fourth floor, workers in aquamarine suits went out, going into a grandiose, massive hall-like room with bright, beautiful royal abyssaline colors. Gilded bookshelves, clean floors, and even a fountain in the middle.
Fifth - workers in yellow suits and some wearing gardening aprons even came out, into a room that felt like a summer day, despite it being the inside. A blooming cherry tree, grass everywhere, and stone paths for the ways people could go to fill up the wooden, clean shelves. Some flower patches could have been seen around...
Sixth - A tight, massive floor with workers coming out in purple suits, in contrast to the mostly brown-ish place, it had multiple floors to it with staircases that were also bookshelves.. they could shift up and down kind of like an elevator.
Purple-ish walls, an infinite ceiling... and windows with soft purple voids outside...
Seventh - Workers wearing gold and black stepped out to a sort of building. On the out, they saw a massive, ginormous enclosed space, showing a city with constantly moving cars in the distance. In the faaaaar distance, they could see a gigantic clockwork mechanism and a grandfather clock pendulum swinging left and right slowly...
Eighth - Less workers, wearing dark red suits, looking serious, went out and were followed by someone smoking a cigarette, as she snuffed it out in a nearby ashtray in a trashcan. This place is much tighter and darker than the others. The middle having nothing less than a round reading table with a few vending machines spread out, and a smoking room, with vaults everywhere instead of bookshelves.
And at the top, the technicians went up top and saw a space reminiscent of the inside of a giant tree. There was tons of space for some foodstalls and some sitting spots around... this must be the cafe compartment.
They went to the front doors in front... as they stepped out on the balcony. Despite it being so high up, the wind was only soft, possible amplified by the aura around the library itself... and it was surprisingly warm too.
A perfect balcony spot, too. This place had it all, as they double checked everything.. and looked left and right, seeing the skyscrapers and buildings of Extremity Heights, and the beautiful view of the golden pages flying and lighting up the city skyline. People's windows started opening as the light was gone by now...
This was the result of more than 25 years of work.
And it was worth every second.
The Nights of Lights have come to a close.

Donk: “So that’s it? The light is out?”
Advisor Mulligan: “Yes sir.”
Donk: “That would’ve been good few days ago.”
Mulligan: “It truly has been an eventful week, with the war coming to a close, Arcania’s annexation, the election, and now this light. It’s a miracle it’s been as tame as it has.”
Donk: “If that’s your idea of tame, I’d hate to see what you think is crazy.”
Mulligan: (Laughs) “You always were a jokester, Vadim.”
Donk: “And you, a good friend, Joseph.”
Mulligan: “Likewise. So where will you go now?”
Donk: “Back home, to New Moscow. I have a ranch I will tend to. Just know you’re welcome anytime.”
Mulligan: “Thank you, Sir. I appreciate the offer. But I do believe it’s gonna be a busy couple of weeks.”
Donk: “That’s what I’m worried about. Please promise me you will do what you can to keep the peace between Axistan and New Arcania. Ramoné will do anything in his power to ruin the alliance.”
Mulligan: “I will do everything in my power to ensure that doesn’t happen.”
Donk: “Thank you friend. Now, let’s drink. To the future!”
Mulligan: “To the future!”

“O…ok”
Newscaster: Welcome everyone, to the confederate daily NewsÂ… IÂ’m being joined by sir Bart Halloway todayÂ… again sir itÂ’s great to see you alive and well.
Halloway: thank you dearly
Newscaster: So onto the main news of the day, the Federal Assembly has surrendered. Byrn fell to Micheal PrestonÂ’s army todayÂ… the recently ascended Trent Golan has been tried and convicted of treason and murder, he was convicted with life imprisonment but itÂ’s likely he will eventually be executed. Phillip Kallus was found dead, presumably killed by Golan. The federal assembly has been officially disbanded and Byrn has come under military occupation.
Halloway: IÂ’d like to say a few words if I may. Hello citizens of Precceton. I promise you all that when Preston and I retake the nation we will be sure to roll back all of the laws which snuffed out your civil rights made by Kallus. We may be monarchists but we wonÂ’t allow these archaic laws to exist anymore.
Newscaster: that all? Ok, IÂ’ll report to you all again soonÂ

The Silent vow
As a blanket of darkness finally descends over Ishiski, the collected anarchy of Ishiski slowly fades away into the history books, with the new Royal taking the ears of the tiger and turning the country into a grand kingdom, The BolÂ’Shoy Regency of Ishiski.
People in power being swapped entirely, to the standardization of official symbols. The change was slow and quiet.
ChangesÂ…
Nikolasasko Kontallis, a nephew of Yozhin Andrusha, takes power as Yozhin escapes to Genosa for safety.
The government has now changed from a close-knitted anarchy to a grand kingdom, with the Kontallis family (only Nikolasasko at the moment) at its head.
A new standardized flag has been chosen.
A new coat of arms has been made, with the date on its left banner being the year the kingdom was established.
The new coat of arms includes the Skull and crossbones of the old anarchy, symbolizing the grand days of the old Ishiski.
The Siberian Tiger is now a protected species.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
Afternoon, Askrieg State Palace, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF),
[spoiler]
A young officer in blue air-force uniform is standing overlooking the glass wall of the SCIF. Basically a glass box, the SCIF is usually used for top officers of the state to discuss and process top clearance information. In his breast pocket, is the name CAPTAIN HOLDEN. He is nervous, previously as Jackie Ryan's aide, in her... "unavailability", he had been the Acting Chief of Staff of The Guards. As so, this is his first time using the SCIF, more so even calling this security briefing.
The SCIF airlocked doors hiss open, as Co-Consul Lady Mackenzie walks into the room. She is wearing a dinner dress in purple and gold. She looks stunning as always, with her hair tied up into an elaborate braid and her face as glowing as the Askrieg sun. Her blue eyes lay its' gaze upon the young officer, who looks stunned by her beauty, like every other person who laid eyes on Lady Mac.
"Captain Holden." Lady Mac greets him, bowing her head slightly as a courtesy.
"L-Lady Mac," Holden practically bows, to avert his gaze on the beautiful Lady.
Mac smiles, "Nervous, Captain?" Teases Lady Mac, seeing through the facade being put up by Holden.
"U-Uh, quite a bit, ma'am..." Holden stutters, trying to loosen the collar around his neck.
"Don't worry, Captain. I'm sure you're well informed." Mac says reassuringly.
The SCIF airlock hisses again, and enters Co-Consul Johann Sebastian Carraway. He is in his usual grey suit.
"Lady Mac, Holden." Carraway greets as he enters the room. He fixed his eyes at the stacks of books on the conference table. "Okay, what is this, Book Club?"
"Sir, ma'am. If you'd be so kind to take a seat." Holden says while placing two identical folders in front of them at the table.
When Carraway and Lady Mac takes their seats, Holden begins,
"In your hands, is Security Memo 278. It... Uhh..." Holden hesitates, struggling to find the words he's trying to say.
"Calm down Captain, take a breath. It's only us." Says Lady Mac, while she's opening the folder.
"Right," Holden sighs, and continues, "Security Memo 278 details the current security context we are currently in. First off, Operation Big Bait-"
"Which one is that again?" Interrupts Carraway."
"Uh, the one where we strapped a poor young lieutenant into a Cessna and flies him to the freaking Light?" Holden answers.
"Oh yeah. Real funny that one." Carraway chuckles.
"Yes that one. We lost contact with Lt. Wayne somewhere near Extremity Heights. We figured he crashes and..." Holden carries on before being interrupted again.
"Not another plane crash," Lady Mac sighs while rubbing her temples, she then turns to Carraway, "See, this is why it's such a good idea to buy planes from that lunatic boxer girl-monarch..." Said Lady Mac, while Carraway just giggles.
"He survived it turned out. Apparently, some Extremian Director of something called Project CARMEN got hold of him. Along with some... Ominous messages." Holden says while opening his own copy of the memo.
"'...close cooperation with the CARMEN project and is helping us do proper tests.' Wow, that's a traitor to the state if I ever saw one." Blurted Carraway.
"It says here they sent books. What books?" Asks Lady Mac.
"Those books, ma'am." Holden pointed out the 4 books on the table. "Those are sent along with the message."
Carraway looks at one of the books, "'Autobiography of Brandon Herrera Wayne.' Christ, did he pulled an Ernest Hemingway on us?"
Lady Mac looks at another, "More like a Charles Manson, 'The Philosophy of an Honest, Good Life.' Might as well call it 'Helter Skelter.'"
"Unlikely," Holden interjects, "These are written mere hours after the loss of contact. Unless he types thousands of words in a minute, it's unlikely he wrote them himself."
"So what, these are some convoluted interrogation transcripts? Extremians are weird, I wouldn't put that one past them." Says Carraway while leaning on the table.
"Highly unusual for them to send us interrogation transcripts of OUR officer, Jo." Lady Mac blurted out.
"Again, these are Extremians. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past those weirdos." Sighs Carraway, "Is it, a transcript, Holden?"
"No sir. We have no idea what these books could imply. It's as if these books are pulled straight out of Lt. Wayne's brain, sir. The accounts in the book are consistent with his service history and record." Holden explains.
"Well that just confirms the lieutenant's the source. It doesn't explain why and how they sent us these books." Carraway says, while putting the books on the table again.
"It also doesn't explain the invite, sir." Holden says.
"What invite?" Carraway wonders.
"In page 34. The Director of a 'Library of Light' sent an invite to both of you." Holden opens his folder again.
"'If it is curiosity or something else that interests you.' God, these Extremians are weird with their cryptic messages, huh?" Lady Mac says to Carraway who just shakes his head.
"...Should I arrange a security team, ma'am?" Asks Holden.
"No need. Says here only 6 persons are invited including me and Jo, so only like 4 security personnel. Which is like my daily protection anyways." Lady Mac says.
"So you're going Mac?" Carraway says as he looks at the Lady through his glasses.
"Might as well. They're a friendly nation and it gives me a chance to find out what the hell is going on. Also to ask about the freaking Light." Sighs Lady Mac.
"Freaking Light..." Carraway sighs in unison. "Anything else, Holden?"
"That's it sir. That's what's in the memo." answers the Captain.
"What about Jackie? She's still in Precceton?" Carraway asks.
"Precceton's in a civil war." Says Holden.
"OH GOD FREAKING DAMNIT!" Yells Carraway, while Lady Mac can only sighs and rubs her temples.

As afternoon turns to evening, three of arguably the most powerful persons in Askrieg are still in the SCIF, contemplating about the situation on their hands.
Carraway is sipping a mug of coffee in front of the machine, his hands on his hips, anxiously tapping his belt. His mind wanders from beyond the room, wondering why all of this happens at the same time.
Holden is sitting at one of the chairs, reading one of the books that was sent by the Extremians. The title reads 'Operational Manual of Cessna by Brandon Herrera Wayne.' He turns the pages while mumbles to himself, "This man really memorized the damned manual for a prop plane..."
Lady Mac is looking at her watch-bracelet. She is the one out of place in the meeting with an elegant evening dress. She looks annoyed, as she looks at the time, "I'm going to be late for my dinner invite."
"Clearly, it seems the whole of Askrieg is late for something." Says Carraway. He turns around to her and asked, "What occasion?"
"Oh just a fundraiser," She answers politely, "Not important. It's not like we have political campaigns anyways, right?"
Carraway giggles while making his way to the table, leaning on it. "So, what do we do with Commandant Jackie..."
Holden closes the book, and says, "Well, she's going to Lausinne University Hospital with two squads of Icarus Red."
"Oh how nice," Lady Mac sighs sarcastically, "She gets her own Tier One escort."
"Can't they just 'borrow' an airplane and..." Carraway says, while making a gesture with his hands to 'get outta dodge.'
"...They can't just commandeer and steal a Preccetonite jet, sir." Holden says.
"Just sayin', y'know." Carraway sighs.
"So what can we do? I'm sure Brewster got more pressing issues in a civil war instead of replying my request to send our Commandant home." Says Lady Mac.
"The best course of action I can advise is wait." Holden sighs, feeling defeated of the situation.
"Wait? Until the civil war is over?" Says Carraway, "We out of all people know that can take a damn long time."
"Are they even winning? The incumbent government?" Asks Lady Mac.
"Uh... No They're not. Monarchists, the opposing faction, is encircling Byrn their capital. They might capitulate." Explains Holden.
"Out of the frying pan and into the fire." Says Carraway in frustration, "This, is what this whole situation is. We got the freaking Light, then we got a hostage situation. Jackie's crash and then... well we got another hostage situation. Might as well swallow a cyanide pill and shoot myself in an underground bunker, huh?"
Lady Mac's eyes widen, she turns to Carraway, "Wait, Jo. Icarus Red is trained in covert hostage extraction aren't they?"
"Yeah so?" Carraway answers. Then his eyes turned hopeful and sinister, and the both of them turned to Holden.
"Wh-What's happening?" Holden says. Concerned, but intrigued.
"Tell Icarus Red... When the government changes... To engage in... uh..." Says Carraway looking for words.
"'Covert Hostage Negotiation and Rescue.'" Says Lady Mac.
"What hostage?" Asks Holden, confused.
"Themselves. Let them 'negotiate and arrange' their own 'rescue.'" Carraway says.
"But, usually hostage negotiations are done by the governments, sir. They can't engage in their own-" Holden tries to explain, before being cut off.
"No, Holden. 'Covert hostage negotiation and rescue.' This is black, off the books." Says Mac with conviction.
"Unsanctioned?" Says Holden.
"Correct. Let them break themselves out, Holden." Says Carraway.

Reporter: What do you feel about the other participants?
S. Desjardins: They are pretty good this year. I wouldn't have expected Anselmi Noel to compete since they said they will never compete in this festival.

Reporter: Thank you for your time.
BREAKING NEWS
PRESIDENT RAMONÉ CANCELS MEETING WITH ARCANIAN DELEGATES
President Ramoné has decided to cancel the planned peace meeting with delegates from New Arcania, against the wishes of Grand Advisor Joseph Mulligan. The talks were supposed to be a stepping stone to a peaceful alliance between the two once hostile nations. Delegate Erik Schien from Arcania had this to say:
ItÂ’s frustrating to say the least. They get a new leader who wants to throw away the chance for a peaceful Columbia. He holds onto these anti-Arcanian ideologies, and thatÂ’s dangerous.
Grand Advisor Mulligan has begun negotiations to bring the delegates to Axistan to meet at the nations capital.
In other news, The President has given the okay to construct two new airbases in the Sahara Sea Archipelago, along with authorizing the construction of several airbases in unclaimed territory in northern Eurasia and southern Merinesia.
Thats all for today. Stay Safe, Stay Free.

Kirovian Federation, President's Palace.
Griva has taken her time to get used to the Palace that Nikolaevna used to live in, as it was, perhaps, the most massive building she ever walked upon. Not to mention the architecture. Now, it was all hers due to Nikolaevna and Genna taking the Extremian route once the negotiations and signs were over. Griva returns to her office in the Palace, and opens the door. Sinclair was already waiting for her at the table, holding a folder of documents.
"Good day, Sinclair. What brings you here?" - Griva casually asks, waving her arms in a manorly fashion - "Commander, the Arms Sale reports are in. I would like you to have a look." - Sinclair responds in a monotone voice. Griva approaches him, as he passes the folder. She quickly takes it and opens it, looking at the supposed reports.
Grusnia bought 3 Production Licenses for 'ZETA', 'LUKA' and 'OHOTNIK' for a total of 1,5 Billion; Check. Volkstonia bought a Hundred 'Frontliners', as well as the Production License for them; 2,83 Billion - Check.
Everything was up-to-date. The document clearly described what was bought and in what quantity, alongside the total amount of money received. However.. There was an 'Undefined' category. Griva quickly took notice, gazing up on Sinclair - "Undefined? What's that supposed to mean?" - She asks curiously - "I believe it refers to the fact of Backdoor Contracts. However, as bad as it sounds - people should not know this. We may be transparent, but public outrage will be horrible, especially at a time like this." - explains Sinclair, waving his arms around.
Total amount of money in the 'Undefined' category summed up to 3,6 Billion. That's almost 40% of total Arms Sales. Griva casually facepalms and sighs - "We need the money anyway. Oh and - be sure to not spend it on anything. Economic reforms will follow-up soon." - despite this, Griva proceeds to stay casual. Maybe she sees potential..

A scandal of national scale
Yesterday, one of the most popular independent TV channels "Grad" published a video investigation in which it accuses Defense Minister Melvin Gardner, Chief of the General Staff Sartak Kamat and the head of the Alstov Front (during the First Talonian War) of repeatedly violating Wartime Laws, in particular:
1) Arbitrariness and violation of the working procedures of Visiting Military Tribunals, execution and arrest of illegally convicted soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Republic;
2) Violation of the procedures for financing the fronts and theft of soldiers' household allowances;
3) Informing the Supreme Government and the President of deliberately false information about the situation on the fronts.
Upon the violations discovered by journalists, collective civil lawsuits were filed against all three Generals in the National Supreme Military Court of the Armed Forces of the Republic from veteran soldiers, their mothers and widows.
At the moment, a petition has appeared on the personal website of the President of the Republic of Vladis demanding the immediate resignation and arrest of war criminals, which has already collected more than 500,000 signatures.
The press secretary of the President of the Republic Boris Peschanikow said:
"About the scandal surrounding the National Defense Ministry. The President of Lendgraf Dimiklion has been informed on this issue, and all the necessary information has been provided to him. An appropriate check will be carried out, there are no further comments."
The National Ministry of Defense did not comment on the situation in any way.

Suvi Desjardines wins Auroora Festival 2028
This is Ulveham news with breaking news. Suvi Desjardines won Auroora Festival 2028 the 3rd time now.
Because of this: Car-Kaiser Michael II of the Gartieg dynasty invited Suvi Desjardines to the Car-Palace in Northern Ajlar.
Michael II: Miss Desjardines, you won the most important music competition of Chyrak for the 3rd time in a row now.
Desjardines: Yes, Car-Kaiser I actually did. I didn't know my song would blow up like this.....
Michael II: That's not the reason I invited you though. I invited you to officially honour you.
Desjardines: Wait what? Car-Kaiser, isn't that a bit too much considering I only won it 3 times? I mean others have won it more than me.
Michael II: That's because I actually like the Norse kvedding. It gives the song so much personality. So hereby I shall honour you.
Desjardines: Thank you, Car-Kaiser....
Sorry, but you know the rules, buddy :D.

The case of the three Generals
A criminal case was opened today on the fact of violation of the National Law "On Wartime" against three generals: the Minister of Defense of the Republic, the Chief of the General Staff and the Head of the Alstovsky Front (currently holds the post of Head of the Western Defense Circle). Recall that the day before yesterday, the major independent publication Grad published an investigation accusing Melvin Gardner, Sartak Kamat and Mikhail Barkin of corruption and violation of the National Law "On Wartime". Based on the evidence presented, the Government of the Republic conducted an internal audit, based on the results of which an application was submitted today to the National Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Police to initiate criminal proceedings on the fact of the relevant violations. Now all the suspects are in the Pre-trial Detention Center of the city of Sudal No. 3.
By order of the President of the Republic, Landgraf Dimiklion, three Generals, their First Deputies and Secretaries were temporarily suspended from work. Now their duties are performed by persons appointed by the same order.
The President of the Republic also publicly commented on this situation:
"The situation that has occurred is certainly egregious and causes genuine emotions of fear and anger in all of us. I am extremely disappointed that for many years our troops have been led by such terrible people. I believe that I am certainly to blame for the fact that innocent people were illegally convicted and executed due to my inattention, as well as many soldiers were not provided with the necessary equipment and belongings. I promise that the guilty will be punished, and the wrongfully convicted will be amnestied."
After the publication of information about the arrests and the beginning of a criminal investigation, 4 generals of the Armed Forces of the Republic immediately resigned from their posts:
- Colonel General Daniz Olagun - Head of the Military Police of the city of Sudal (During the Talonian War - Head of the Executive Commission of the Visiting Tribunals),
- Major General Lyam Lacroix - Head of the Economic Departments of the General Staff of the Republic (held the same position during the Talonian War),
- Major General Soncedar Goglin - First Deputy Chief of the Permanent Military Tribunal of the city of Gus (Held the same position during the Talonian War)
- Lieutenant General Rene Daniels - Chairman of the Audit Office of the Ministry of Defense (During the Talonian War - Secretary of the Situational Commission)

Recovery of West VesteriaÂ’s World Cup Defeat.
With West Vesteria suffering a severe defeat in the World Cup, morale among citizens drops heavily. Being embarrassed by the crushing defeat in an international sporting event, many citizens begin to doubt their abilities compared to the rest of the world. Recognizing the morale loss, the government turns towards the upcoming golf tournament being held by the West Vesterian Golf Association. Media outlets heavily covered West VesteriaÂ’s national football team during the previous days, however this came to an abrupt halt once they lost their fourth game. As the Federalist Party was afraid citizens would begin to lose faith or feel embarrassed about their nationÂ’s abilities after the loss, party owned media outlets and private news corporations were told to heavily broadcast the upcoming WestNetCup Playoffs. The Federalist Party found an opportunity to get citizens' minds off the World Cup defeat, and onto a sport that Vesterians have always naturally been good at. The playoffs begin with the 70-player Toussaint Bay Championship, which starts this upcoming Saturday. Seeing as this will be the first official WestNetCup hosted since the creation of the WVGA, the government hopes this will encourage even more Vesterians to enjoy the sport.
The Federalist Party knew they would have to do more than just broadcast news about their golf organization. Chancellor Jim Borgia ordered the National Assembly to meet in Toussaint to discuss a bill written by his inner circle. If passed, the bill would legalize sports betting on the federal level. Seeing an opportunity for more tax money and the potential to get citizens' minds off the football defeat, the Federalist controlled National Assembly unanimously passed the bill. Casinos across the nation quickly began to establish sports betting divisions within their companies. While some of the elderly Vesterians disagreed with the new law, most adults were either in favor or did not care either way. As far as the government was concerned, the legalization of sports betting would only bring tourism and tax dollars; and any worry of gambling addiction could be handled in the long run. Along with the news companies, casinos were also heavily encouraged by the Federalist Party to promote the WestNetCup and future WVGA tournaments. West Vesterian football fans begin to look past their brutal defeat in the World Cup and simply hope that another nation from Northern Talonia wins the cup.

Peace and reconciliation
Precceton daily news
The war is over. After almost a month of skirmishes into full blown war, we are free, Michael Preston has been crowned King of Precceton. He has set up Bart Halloway as Prime Minister, and built a new council. Though it is a purely advisory body. He sits as a mixed monarch. Having direct control but helped by an elected assembly. Regional governors are also still to be elected by the people as well. With the end of the war comes a return to peace. Precceton shall once again rule the waves, with our restart of the Crusier-Submarine project. King Michael’s first daughter, Princess Juliet Preston, was made heir apparent. Leaders from the democratic side have been tried, but released, only being banned from participating in politics in the future. The first new law put in place by the government is the military equality act, letting women join the navy and army for the first time in years. A memorial, to the brave Preccé and Yinsher men and women that died in the civil war, is to be constructed in Gulano, the center of a lot of the fighting. This has been the darkest time in Precceton history since the old religious wars, but we are hopeful for the future.

Capital City changed to Northern Ajlar
Second Kingdom of Zyreaika, July 20th, 2027
Northern Ajlar Parliament building
People have gathered around the Northern Ajlar Parliament building, all not knowing what is going on.
Car-Kaiser Michael II of the Gartieg dynasty came out to the people.
Michael II: My people, you have all gathered here to want an explanation about what's going on right now. That's because we'll move the capital from Delis to Northern Ajlar. That change has been made due to the Parliament building and the Car-Kaiser palace being located here. That also means that the Capital-City-State will be moved to Northern Ajlar once this is approved. Thank you for your time.
The Car-Kaiser goes inside of the building.
???: You did it?
Michael II: Yes, I did. You won't show yourself to the public soon?
???: Soon.... But not yet.
Michael II: So they still need to believe that I am the highest reigning person in Zyreaika.
???: I believe yes..... But that will change soon..... Since I make all of the decision of the Kingdom.
Michael II: You know, I'm worried about you. You weren't like that before Aleksanteri II stormed the parliament.....
???: Believe me, it's for our own safety..... No nation in Talonia needs to know about this yet.....
Michael II: What if one of them finds out?
???: I don't know Michael..... I guess that would be the end of my anonymous reign. But that won't happen.....

Lausinne University Hospital, Noon...
[spoiler]
Jackie Ryan is smoking in the emergency stairs landing of the hospital. The air is damp, and filled with uncertainty. She inhales the smoke and enjoying the hit of nicotine on her throat. It has been a while since she had a cigarette, last one was before the crash and all this shenanigans happened. She is leaning on the wall next to the door, overlooking the spiral of staircases in front of her. Instead of the surgical robe she was wearing, she has her uniform blouse and trousers on, though only casually.
She wonders to herself, why is the Askrieg government hasn't contacted for her rescue yet? They do know she's in Precceton, right? Why, for the love of God, she has to sneak around her own spec-ops unit just to have a smoke? These are all concerns in her head, as she takes in another drag.
She blows out the smoke from her mouth. She begins to think about the absurd situation that she's in. She was in a crash 4 days ago. Where, upon impact, she was practically stabbed by a military grade suitcase going through her stomach, barely missing all her important bits. Then, Arcanian militia opened fire on her, and she had to repel a company-sized QRF alone with a UMP. Then rescue comes, but she accidentally shot squad lead with a bullet that luckily was caught by his plate. She barely escaped, then was forcefully diverted to Precceton due to the freaking Light, and she found out that it caused her crash in the first place. THEN, a civil war broke out, and now she's in diplomatic limbo on whether or not the reigning government is friendly to Askrieg.
She chuckles at the absurdity of her situation. She wondered if this was written by a smoky cool military LARP storywriter somewhere.
The door beside her opens abruptly, with Captain Ramirez peeking through.
"Jesus Christ, ma'am." Ramirez said with a worried face, "I thought we lost, ya."
"Just once in week is enough, I think, to be lost." Ryan said, flicking the butt of her cigarette away, "What do ya got?"
"Orders ma'am. Straight from the Consulate." Ramirez responds.
"Finally," Ryan grunted, "They're getting us outta here?"
"Not exactly. I think you better come to the room with the rest of the guys."
Ryan and Ramirez made their way back to the room. It's rather cramped, what with a dozen burly spec-ops guys inside. They're looking over a bulky laptop set on the table.
"Step aside, boys, would ya." Ryan said, while the rest of the men give room to the Commandant.
Jackie looks at the screen, it's a black command prompt with a message displayed. The top of the message, is the Consulate Seal. But underneath it, is a secure back-channel encryption. This piques Ryan's interest, why would the Consuls order their men on a back-channel communications, if not for clandestine mission. She then reads the rest of the message,
'GOLD CROSS ACTUAL-- COORDINATE COVERT ISOLATED HOSTAGE NEGOTIATIONS AND SELF-RESCUE. CLANDESTINE OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL ADVISED. EXECUTE AUTHORITY GRANTED, MAXIMUM PREJUDICE.'
Ryan is taken aback at the order. She slowly digest what the Consuls expect of her with this mission.
"We were hoping to have some clarity from you, ma'am." Ramirez said.
"The Consuls wanted- ordered us to coordinate our own search and rescue..." Explain Ryan, leaving unanswered questions in the air.
"Search and rescue, ma'am? Of whom? Has another VIP crashed down somewhere?" Ramirez continue asking.
"Our own, Captain. They consider us a hostage." Ryan adamantly said.
"Why... Why would they think that?"
"Because Ramirez," Ryan looks at him dead in his eyes, "That gives us justification to do whatever means necessary to rescue ourselves."
Ramirez slowly realizes the implication of the words, "Solid copy, ma'am. We'll draw up an escape plan."

Outskirts of Lausinne Airport, Evening...
[spoiler]
"30 seconds." Red 1-1 says from the front of the car convoy.
"30 seconds, check." Ramirez answered from the car behind. In the back seat is Jackie with Red 0-3 beside her.
"Couldn't you get a roomier car, Ramirez?" Ryan said, while trying to shifts her seat.
"Sorry, ma'am. Close timeline." Ramirez says back.
"Entry point visual. No guards." The radio crackles awake.
"Rog'. Green, green, green!" Ramirez commands.
The lead vehicle then turns left, going for an unguarded entry-point of the airport. The flimsy fencing were easily broken through, then the rest of the vehicles followed. The convoy then follows the road beside the hangars.
"There, there! Right side, 1-1!" Ramirez says into the radio.
The lead vehicle then enters one of the hangar. Inside, is a Gulfstream G-800 plane parked. A young guard is seen sweeping the grounds.
Red 1-1 gets out of his car, then approaches the young man. The man is slightly startled, looking at the fully kitted out 6'5" Askriegian.
"S-Sir, this is a private hangar!" The man squealed.
"What is your name, son?" Red 1-1 asks, as softly as he could.
"A-Antonio Giovinazzi, sir." The poor man answered, his grip tighten on his broom, "You're not allowed in here."
"Allowed? Son, we're allowed anywhere." Red 1-1 responded.
Ramirez and Ryan looks at the interaction from their own vehicle, mumbling to themselves.
"You think he's scaring the poor boy?" Ryan asks to Ramirez.
"Hell, he scares me." Ramirez answered with a scoff.
"It's a mistake then letting him talk to the boy." Ryan answered.
Just as Jackie says that, they observed Red 1-1 give an 'all clear' signal. All of them then disembarked, and begin loading their stuff into the plane.
Once inside, Jackie says, "God, this looks really similar to mine."
"Hopefully lightning doesn't strike twice." Ramirez blurted as he make his way inside.
The plane rumbles awake, then Red 1-1 gets inside and closes the door.
"What'd ya say to 'em?" Asks Ramirez to Red 1-1.
"Oh, I told him we're Prestonian Spec-ops." Red 1-1 answered.
"That easy?"
"Nah, I slipped him a couple of bands." Red 1-1 says casually, "I hope I get reimbursed!"
Ryan only scoffs from her seat.
The plane then taxis, then the radio grumbled. "G-800, you don't have clearance! State intentions and cargo!"
Red 0-4 as the pilot, tries to come up with a lie, "Uhh... VIPs to Preston...?"
"G-800, power down! Security shall board!" The ATC replied.
"Screw that, man." Ramirez grumbled from behind the cockpit. He then pushed the throttle to full.
"Cap, we're still on the taxiway!" Red 0-4 yelled, while trying to regain the controls.
"Nah, road's a road." Says Ramirez while still pushing the throttle.
"Sh*t! V2 Rotate!" Red 0-4 says, as he wrestles the plane into the air.
Ramirez went back into the cabin after he sees they're taking flight.
"Home?" Ryan asked, as Ramirez takes a seat in front of her.
"Home." Ramirez answered, as he drifts to sleep.

Michael: it was probably the Askrieg special forces, yes. IÂ’m worried it was government sanctioned.
Halloway: this whole ordeal has made me thinkÂ… the Lausinne treaty, it could be null and voidÂ
Michael: IÂ’ve had that thought. They signed it with the Federal Assembly, not the Monarchy.
Halloway: I was the signatory, I could convince them to maintain it?
Michael: yes, I trust you with that prime minister, though, take Juliet with you.

Kirovian Federation, President's Palace.
Griva sits boringly in her office, rubbing her eyes and sighing. After a while, someone knocks and walks in shortly. It was Sinclair, carrying a stack of folders with him. He places them on Griva's table and takes a short salute;
"Hands off. We're not a Military anymore, albeit having direct connections with the well-established KIS'. What's these about?" - says Griva, tapping on the folder stack - "Commander, the Economy Sector has finished with the reforms, and they need your word to pass them. You may read them, if you so-desire." - responds Sinclair, his tone as emotionless as before.
Griva sighs, taking the top folder and opening it to read. Shortwhile after, she closes it and puts it back on the top - "So.. Currency change, re-calculation of total spending & reserves, and a tax increase by 5%; amidst... many other things. They don't go well together, 'specially the tax increase..." - casually says Griva - "With all due respect, Commander, these are necessary evils to deflate the Economy and prevent sudden inflation spike. On top of that, we may integrate the 5% tax increase into our new currency, without telling people." - casually comments Sinclair about the situation. After giving it some thought, Griva taps the folder stack again - "Take it back to the Economy Sector. Tell them I allow it." - says Griva. With no time to waste, Sinclair grabs the stack and leaves.
However, he stops midway - "Commander, I forgot to tell you. There is a guest that wants to see you. She appears to be proficient in Bioengineering and General Machinations. She is currently awaiting outside. May I let her in?" - asks Sinclair, politely waiting - "You may let her in." - responds Griva. After that - Sinclair walks out and gives a hand signal for supposed Bioengineer to walk in, leaving himself.
A pale woman walks in, her hair is black and long; with some attents of the gold in it. The clothes she is wearing are rather unusual aswell - a full-black furcoat on top of another coat.. Perhaps it's best to not question it;
"Griva Matrina, it's of most great honours to meet you in person." - says the woman in black, giving a respectful nod - "Good to see you too. Now, may I ask, who are you and why are you here? I've heard something about Bioengineering from my Second-in-Command about you." - says Griva, gesturing for the woman to sit down. As she sits down, she holds her hands together - "My name is Binah. I was a Senior Research in the Bioengineering branch of Extremium. However, I have left after some time due to my.. 'personal beliefs'. Nevertheless, I have heard that you are in need of Experts in the Science Sector, am I correct?" - Binah explains with a slight smug on her face;
"That is correct. However, how can we be so sure about the truth? You may be speaking false-claims, and perhaps even be a fraud." - Griva slightly interrogates Binah - "You may contact my brother in Extremium. His name is Fubi; Fubi Nah'tersou. I believe he still works in one of their branches. Just don't tell him it was me." - casually says Binah with no signs of pressure. Perhaps she was telling the truth - "Well. I suppose you are hired, but we will be watching your progress for some time. Just a safety measure, no need to worry. You may go, we will contact your brother shortly; and then you." - says Griva, gesturing her hands. Afterwards, Binah gets up from the chair and nods respectfully again. She takes her leave, with the final words being - "I am sure we will work well together".
Rather ominous woman, that 'Binah'.

FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT
Dear Grand Advisor Mulligan,
I am aware of your plan to finish what Vadim started, keeping peace with the Arcanians. You also are aware that the Arcanians are the reason he got elected in the first place. I will not allow them to run our government from the shadows
If you continue with your plans, I will have you fired and arrested for insubordination and treason. I donÂ’t need to remind you what the punishment for that is, do I?
With Regards,
President Miguel Ramoné.

BREAKING NEWS
AXISTAN TO CONDUCT PRISNOER EXCHANGE WITH Chyrak
An Axistan Air Forc C-141 took off from Port Vadimgram Airbase this evening loaded with A prisoner of our allies.
In exchange for this prisoner, Axistan will receiver the former Grand Advisor, Joseph Mulligan. The deal will be a stepping stone for a safer Talonia, starting with a Safer Sahara Sea region.
War Room, Ministry of War Building, Volksord
The recent civil war in neighbouring Chyrak has opened an unexpected opportunity for President Helgi, who seeks to expand his influence on his smaller neighbour.
Present in the War Room is Minister of War Walter Bernheim, Chief of the High Command Paul von Lindstein, General Otto Hubrick, General Petrus Smalenbach, and Air Marshall Markus Hermann.
Bernheim: “…the Comrade President has ordered this immediately. General Hubrick, is Army Group A in their positions?”
Hubrick: “Yes, comrade Bernheim. Just give us the green light and the number of communists in Chyrak will be twenty-tupled.”
Smalenbach: “Make that thirty-upled, or whatever’s the word.”
Bernheim: “Smalenbach, how is my Army Group B?”
Smalenbach: “We’ve also moved them to the Chyraki border. Like General Hubrick has said, once the order is given, those monarchists are gonna be obliterated, we’ll occupy the entire damn country-“
Bernheim: “Tone down that rhetoric, Comrade Smalenbach!”
Walter takes a sip of his Colombian tea, and points again to the map, which displays multiple arrows pointing into the territory of Chyrak.
Bernheim: “Remember- we can’t make this look like an invasion! We are simply helping the Chyraki proletariat, uh, liberate their own country, is all, or at least that’s what the Comrade President said.”
Smalenbach: “Of course, comrade Minister...”
Hermann: “Comrade Bernheim, but what of our air forces? We’ve repainted them in Chyraki colours as per the Comrade President’s instructions, but the Chyrakian Air Force don’t own any of the kinds of planes we do.”
Bernheim: “A minor inconvenience. Stick to the targets, make it quick. Stick to the plan, and the monarchists shouldn’t have an air force by tomorrow.”
Hermann: “Hm. Alright, i guess. Once our airstrikes on their airbases and anti-air installations around Delis and Aljar commence, that should cripple them.”
Smalenbach: “Yeah, and we’re sending around 400,000 battle-hardened servicemen and veterans of the Markian uprising against an inexperienced force.”
Bernheim: “That’s what I just love to hear. But don’t be stupid enough to underestimate our foes, comrades.”
A notification is heard on BernheimÂ’s phone.
Bernheim: “We’re sending additional reserves from the Markian front to assist you. And also, Grand Admiral Lindberg has started the naval blockade of Chyrak.”
Walter looks at his phone, and tucks it away, sipping his tea once more.
Bernheim: “We’ve received the order, good luck comrades - and stick to the plan, this is NOT an invasion. Dismissed.”

Halloway: lady JulietÂ… there are many people aroundÂ… itÂ’s getting late, we should really get to our hotelÂ
Juliet: oh stop being such a worrywart!

Rasmus Martin dies
This is Ulveham news with breaking news. Rasmus Martin got murdered by the army. The civil war will be over as soon as the last general surrenders. (OOC: Sorry Volkstonia) Communism will be banned and whoever dares to even MENTION it has the same fate.
Michael II: FINALLY THAT LITTLE S*** IS DEAD.
Maximilyan: Now, now we dont want to have an issue with Volkstonia do we?
Michael II: Hell no.
Maximilyan: Good, now we shall end this war quickly. The remaining generals have surrendered leaving one.
Michael II: Southern Ajlar is also under our control again so he WILL surrender.
Maximilyan: Yes. He will.
Last commie general surrenders
This is Ulveham news with breaking news. The last general of the commie army has surrendered. Although... it looks like there is an invasion going on now.
Maximilyan: WHAT ARE THOSE DIRTY MINDED COMMUNISTS FROM Volkstonia DOING?! THEY JUST INVADE US FOR NO F*CKING REASON? I SWEAR TO THE HOLY ULVEHAM. WHAT IS GOING ON.
Michael II: Those Volkstonian armies do look like they want to invade us... Get the rest of the army over to the west to defend ourselves from them.
Maximilyan: THESE---
Michael II: SHUT UP FOR A SECOND. Now, neither of us don't know what is going on.... They just declared a war on us without a reason...... But why?
Maximilyan: They want to spread that ideology of their's... I won't let that happen. IF they declared an invasion I will have no f*cking mercy, I'll make them wish they were never born.
Michael II: I know you're furious, but we can't go on them like that. It'll make other nations think we're the ones that started this.
Maximilyan: OK... I will still get the whole army over there. I can't risk an war... We'll try to push them back to their borders.

Lestevian Manatee Slain in Viral Video
A Lestevian Manetee was beaten to death in a recently uploaded viral video. The video has been viewed more than 3.1 million times on LesteBook, a popular social media site. The graphic video shows three men and two women taking turns brutalizing the defenseless animal which mistakenly washed up on the shores near the city of Daphnis. Citizens have taken to social media for the government to prosecute the five individuals. Under the Lestevian Manatee Protection Act wounding or killing a manatee can result in a fine of 250,000 Lestevian Jules LJ and two years in prison for the first offense. The Lestevian Manatee has been the national animal of Lestevia for 273 years.

Leader of Zaporozhzian Liberal Party arrested!
Earlier this morning, at 6:29 AM, Zaporozhzian Berkut Units stormed a villa in Yekatirindar where the leader of the Zaporozhzian Liberal Party - Aleksey Kruzhkov was supposedly hiding out from the Government and evading taxes. Kruzhkov is now to face 3 years of imprisonment, according to page 2 of the Zaporozhzian Law codex, article 18.2 "Tax evasion in mass amounts"
Army Group B Command Headquarters, Somewhere East of Hellschau
The halls are filled with officers, dressed in drab green, hurriedly pacing with determination and vigor. General Petrus Smalenbach enters, returning the salutes of the guards lining the dull, gray reinforced concrete walls. Accompanying Smalenbach is Lt. General Heinrich Strauss.
Strauss: “…and the intelligence report, sir.”
Smalenbach: “We’ll get to that in the meeting.”
The pair enter the room titled ‘High Command Staff Room’. A group of high-ranking officers sitting around the large, gray table stand and salute Smalenbach.
Smalenbach: “At ease, comrades.”
As the group sit down, Smalenbach sits in the main chair, directly opposite the map of Chyrak which shows the many divisions of Army Group B lined across the border, red arrows stretching into the country.
Smalenbach: “I’ve returned from a meeting with the High Command in Volksord. Now, I believe that Operation Chyraki Freedom has so far gone to plan for Army Group B. Correct?”
Major-General Aaren Hoff replies.
Hoff: “Yes, sir. But on the Comrade President’s orders, airstrikes on Zyreakian airbases have been called off for the time being until they pass the deadline from our ultimatum.”
Hoff coughs.
Hoff: “But of course, they’ll proceed, if, the Zyreakians, uh, are unwise enough to engage in open hostilities with the Volksmilitiar.”
Smalenbach: “Speaking of their planes…”
Smalenbach opens the intelligence report on the table, flipping to the second page.
Smalenbach: “It seems that we have a revelation about theirs.”
Lt. General Engus Homstein lets out a slight chuckle.
Homstein: “Yes, comrade General. We have discovered that there are…”
Homstein flips through his report, pointing at the figure shown.
“Ah, yes, eh ehm. Our intelligence has found that they possess 7,000 bombers, at least 3,000 fighters, and 4,000 close air support aircraft.
Smalenbach blankly stares at Homstein, before proceeding to burst into laughter.
Smalenbach: “Gott im Himmel! Is this a joke!? Not even f!cking Kirin could dream of having that! Where did you pull this number out of? Your !ss?”
Smalenbach coughs and drinks his Colombian tea, cooling himself down and recovering from his laughter.
Smalenbach: “Oh, lord, oh, damn. So, uh, I, really… please elaborate.”
Homstein: “Of course, comrade General. You see, the vast majority of their air component, are, uh, turboprops from the 1940s.”
Homstein clicks a remote to switch the slide on the television. It shows a video of hundreds of Lancaster bombers lined up on an airfield somewhere in Zyreakia.
Homstein: “The intelligence agency was initially skeptical, but some, uh, deep digging confirmed that this is indeed, the… nature of our potential foe.”
Smalenbach: “Well, sh!t. This is going to be a turkey shoot!”
Strauss: “Well, yes, but we still need to be careful. The air-to-air missiles on our fighter aircraft are worth several of these… Spitfires… put together. A single 8,000,000 Volksmark RDX-90 scoring a kill on a 2,000,000 Volksmark Supermarine Spitfire is cost inefficient. And of course, not ALL of their planes are that old.”
Hoff: “Well then, a bunch of airstrikes from the Flugwahr’s 8th and 11th Air Forces should put all these ancient machines to rest, permanently.”
Smalenbach: “Ha ha! But don’t kill them all, we need to save some for our museums!”
The entire room laughs, but this is interrupted by a messenger knocking on the door and entering.
Messenger: “Comrade General!”
The messenger salutes.
Smalenbach: “At ease, soldier. What is it?”
Messenger: “Orders from the Office of the President, Comrade General!”
Smalenbach takes the paper offered by the messenger and opens it. The messenger leaves.
Smalenbach: “Well, well. It looks like the Comrade President is being a bit of a softie! He wants us to stop advancing at the 120 km mark and to cease all offensive operations planned.”
Homstein: “Did the Zyreakians surrender? What happened?”
Smalenbach: “Well, the order doesn’t say, so probably not. But knowing our dear Comrade President, there’s probably gonna be some backdoor negotiations going on.”
Hoff: “Damn, and I really wanted to see a MiS-30 take on a whole horde of Avro Lancasters…”
(OOC: Stats are taken from ChyrakÂ’s military factbook. He has also confirmed the use of World War II-era aircraft in his Air Forces (and the fact that they make the majority of his air force) in a discussion on #rp-discussion on the Discord.)

BREAKING: NO WAR - ZYREAKIAN AND VOLKSTONIAN GOVERNMENTS SIGN MUTUAL DEGENSE AGREEMENT; TSAR MAXIMILYAN KILLED
Volkstonian state media and officials from Chyrak have just confirmed the beginning of a settlement and a mutual defense pact between the two countries. This comes as a huge surprise as, just 24 hours ago, international observers feared an all-out war between the two was imminent.
Another huge development has just come in with the death of ZyreakiaÂ’s Tsar Maximilyan. According to preliminary reports, he was assassinated by a gunman who opened fire on him and inflicted 4 gunshot wounds before being subdued by guards. The Tsar was pronounced dead on the scene, leaving much of the country devastated and shocked.
The Mutual Defense Agreement, signed in ZyreakiaÂ’s capital Northern Aljar, includes the establishment of 8 Volksmilitair bases in the country. This will house an estimated 24,000 Volkstonian military personnel. Additionally, Volksflugwahr (Air Force) assets have been transferred to airbases operated by ZyreakiaÂ’s military, and online live aircraft tracking websites such as flightradar21.com have confirmed the presence of tens of Volksflugwahr jets above Zyreakia.
These news are a lot to take in - has Volkstonia just successfully established influence over its smaller neighbour? We also cannot dismiss the fact that the TsarÂ’s death coincided with the announcement of such major events. Is Volkstonia behind this tragedy?
Stay tuned for more live updates.

Lestevian Leadership Summit
The 89th Annual Lestevian Leadership Summit concluded its second day as leaders continued talking about social and economic opportunities. The biggest takeaway from day 2 of the summit was the mayor of Jessure, Thebes Kincaid asking leaders to invest in offshore oil drilling in Lake Veracruz. The Mayor of Nova Phobus Lillie Garachex argued that her city sits on a lake thatÂ’s shared with the nation Lurentia, but because itÂ’s a shared lake she couldnÂ’t get approval to start off shore oil drilling so his proposal isnÂ’t fair. Thebes Kincaid asked the summit to relax the environmental protection for lakes but was immediately dismissed.
National Police Arrest 5 in Brutalizing Lestevian Manatee
The Lestevian National Police made 5 arrest at the Daphnis International Airport late yesterday evening. Anderson Fox 21, Amber Seveyn 21, Delia Joss 20, Ferry Wilcox 22, and RJ Bonnest 23 tried buying last minute tickets on Lestevian Airways before being recognized by hundreds of people including airport staff due to a viral video that has since been deleted off of LesteBook. All 5 were taken into custody and are in holding facilities across the city of Daphnis. Lestevians nationwide called on the swift action to prosecute the five individuals that recorded them brutalizing the defenseless animal days ago. Their first court appearances will be announced soon.
Brontess United Kicks Off Preseason in Win Over Jessure FC
The Brontess Capital Stadium was packed to the brim as spectators watched the reigning Lestevian National Football Champions get their first win of the preseason. The sold out game would see an additional 5,000 Brontess United fans streaming the game and camping out in the parking lots of the stadium due to the venue being at capacity. Brontess United defeated Jessure FC 2-1 due to late game block by Brontess United goal keeper Cory Rocha #1. Scotty Rasmussen #15 would score the nail biting goal of the game to break the tie in the last couple of minutes of the game. Brontess United head coach Manny Lewensky stated:
“Continued thanks to the people that keep showing up. We need these stadiums packed and we need you loud. It’s the only way the government is going to take our sport seriously and I think we have their attention. ”
A Call to Invest in National Stadiums
Nationwide football fans are calling on the government to invest into the nations stadiums. Out of 8 stadiums only the Nova Phobus Ball Park has a capacity of 35,000 and that still isnÂ’t enough for the growing sport. When looking at other nations in Talonia with mega stadiums, Lestevia falls short and the 8 biggest head coaches in the game are rallying the 2027-28 Football season changes that.
National Football League Preseason Scores:
FC Daphnis vs Inter Nova Phobus FC 2-1
Sporting Sto Upontron vs FC Parcel 2-0
Brontess United vs Jessure FC 2-1
Omnic FC vs Wyndolette FC 1-1

Friends!
[spoiler]
Consul Johann Sebastian Carraway is being lead through the hallowed halls of State Palace. He has bags under his eyes, his mouth is dry, and he looks like he's about to coup his own government, just so he could catch a little snooze. He hasn't slept in days, the well being of Lady Mac in Extremium and Jackie Ryan's return trip can't escape his mind.
The aide then led Johann to a conference room. There is a large oval table inside, with leather chairs lining it. Johann lugs his way in, barely even processing the aide saying, "A moment, sir. The royal guests are running behind." Johann then stumbles his way on to a chair, and promptly fell asleep slouched on the table.
The clock-hand almost strikes the hour, then the aide returns, while announcing on top of his lungs, "I present you, Prime Minister Bart Halloway, and Princess Julliet of Precceton!"
Johann quickly sit up, wiping the fatigue in his eyes. He bows down slightly, offering a welcoming gesture to the guests.
"Consul Carraway," Bart returns the greeting. "Thank you for having us."
Juliet looks around the conference hall. "Wow, it looks so old!"
Johann smirked at the comment, while Bart shoots a death glare at the Princess. Worried if that kind of comment is faux pas. Johann looks up while saying, "Thank you princess. The State Palace dates back when we were still..." Johann trails off, as he just realizes who he was talking to.
He knows he is talking to the princess heir of Precceton, but the didn't expect her to be a ...cat-girl? Is that what they call it? The beautiful princess has cat-ears on her head, and it messes with his mind.
"U-Uh... P-Please take a seat..." Jo says, gesturing to the chairs. "D-Did Askriegian hospitality to your liking?" He tried to shift the attention away from the cat-ears.
"Ah yes!" Bart answered while sitting down, "I was offered cigarettes a few times. I don't smoke but I appreciate the gesture."
Juliet tilts her head, "Why do you serve cheese with coffee?" Fair question by the princess.
Johann chuckles, "We serve everything with coffee, princess." He takes a seat across from her, "Excellent choice of cafe yesterday, by the way. I go there too."
Bart narrows his eyes, "You knew?"
"We have people, Prime Minister." Answered Johann, "Just like you do yours." Jo can't seemed to shift his gaze from the princess.
Juliet leans to whisper to Bart, "He can't stop staring at me. Am I weird? Do I have a stain somewhere?"
"I think he never seen a cat-girl before. Look at him, he looks horrible the poor guy." Bart whispered back.
Jo does look horrible. He can't hide the fact that he hasn't slept for days anymore. His blinks are getting more labored every passing second.
"I think we better move this thing along..." Bart said.
"There is nothing I'd like more." Johann barely managed a sly smile.
"Consul, the reason we're here is because of our recent change or governance." Bart continued.
"Ah yes, I'm surprised you're still alive, Prime Minister." Jo attempted a joke, Juliet suppress a laugh.
Bart pouted, but still continue his sentence. "We'd like to assure you that the Lausinne Pact is still in effect."
"Oh..." Jo stutters a response, "That... would have been nice to know..."
"I think all of us knows where this is going, Consul."
Juliet looks around at the two men, seeming dumbfounded. "Yeah, except me. What is going on?" The princess asks.
Jo shifts uncomfortably in his seat, while Bart tries to explain the situation, "Suspected Askriegian special operation forces stole a plane from a Preccetonite royalty, Princess."
"Wha- Is that way that stupid Duke was angry about?!" Juliet scowls, shooting her gaze towards Johann, "YOU did that?!"
"H-Hey, nobody knows if it was Askriegian..." Jo tries to deflect.
"They bribed the guards with Askrieg money. And spoke in a very distinct Askrieg dialect." Bart retorts.
Johann rubs his temples at that fact, while Bart continues his scolding, "Besides, who else in Talonia half-ass their way in a covert operation? Your boys were practically winging it."
"To be fair, it was a very VERY important person." Jo sighed.
"Who was it, anyway?" Bart crosses his arms.
"Commandant Jackie Ryan." Jo answers, "Speak of the devil..."
Bart widens his eyes, while the door swings open. A young man in military fatigue walks in to Jo's sides. His nametag spells 'HOLDEN.' He whispered something to Jo, then Jo responded, "Yeah bring her in. It would be funny." The young man then promptly leave.
"What would be funny?" Bart asks anxiously.
"You'll see." Jo smirks.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler]
An awkward silence fell onto the group. With Jo can't stop looking at Princess Juliet.
"You can't stop looking at me." The princess finally says. Rather direct for Askrieg.
"U-Uh, apologies. We don't have... y'know." Jo says, while making gestures imitating cat ears on his head.
"Huh. Why? Charmed?" Juliet says with a playful tone.
"Princess... Play nice..." Bart says.
"You're no fun, Halloway." The princess playfully pouts.
The three of them chuckles. How ':3' silly of them.
The door then opens once more, and enter a young blonde blue-eyed woman in a disheveled officer uniform. She looks tired, even more so than Johann. And she puts on an annoyed face.
"How's the trip?" Jo asks the woman.
"Bumpy and eventful, Consul." The woman answered. She sounds rougher than she looks.
Johann smirks, and say, "Esteemed guests, meet Commandant of Askrieg Revolutionary Guards, Jacquiline 'Jackie' Ryan. Jackie, meet the Preccetonite delegation."
The three of them just stares and shocked, while Jo is just chuckling to himself in his seat.
"Yeah, this is gonna be real funny," Says Princess Juliet.
"Tell ya what. I'll let yourselves get acquainted" Jo says, getting up from his seat and leaving the room. Knowing full well the shenanigan he just pulled.
Minutes pass as Jo waits outside in the hall. He's having a smoke, despite the Palace being declared a smoking-free zone. He's the Consul, goddamnit. He can do whatever he wants.
Jackie than peeks outside the door. Her face looks like a schoolgirl just getting scolded by her teachers.
"How's it going?" Jo asks with a smile in his face.
"You... You know exactly how it went." Jackie scowled, "They want you back."
Jo flicks his cigarette, and went inside.
"Fun conversation?" Jo asks the group teasingly, as he walked back to the conference room. His face is considerably more energized.
"Very fun!" Princess Juliet says, her grin stretched from ear to ear.
"I'm glad. What can i help ya with, folks?" Jo leans on the table.
"As the Commandant and we discussed," Bart says, while glancing at Jackie in the corner, "We'd like to assure you that the Kingdom still respects the terms of the Lausinne Pact."
"Excellent. Glad to hear that." Jo sighs.
"We'd also like Askrieg to arrange a joint military exercise post-haste to formalize our mutual agreement on the matter." Bar continued.
"I believe that is the job of our lovely commandant then." Jo looks slyly at Jackie, who just pouts.
"You know what would be funny..." Princess Juliet blurted out.
"Oh God, not funny things again." Bart rubs his temples.
The group chuckles, well except for Jackie. She's just sulking in the corner.

Investigations of the former Tsar's death
Last week, Tsar Maximilyan Ranoukyan has been killed. However it is only known how. Investigations are currently being held by Zyraki policestations. There were also speculations that he was poisoned. However that has already been denied due to it being impossible because there was a shot in the head. Many citizens also speculate that it was an hired assassin of Volkstonian origin.
Rituals getting banned?
There were rumours about Tsar Michael Gartieg wanting to ban rituals. That decision could've been made due to it mainly disgusting and scaring Preccetonian citizens.
The Princess and the PM
On their trip Princess Juliet and Bart Halloway have formed an unlikely friendship. They canÂ’t stand each other really, but care deeply about each otherÂ’s wellbeing. Bart is a bit of a loner so him hitting it off with someone like this is a little unusual. When they return home from Askrieg they both relayed the good news about the renewed treaty to the king. The unlikely friendship between his daughter and close friend brought Michael much joy. The Prime Minister has taken it upon himself to teach young Juliet the complexities of statecraft and life outside of the walls of Byrn. She will no doubt develop into a most capable ruler under his tutelage.

BREAKING NEWS IN AXISTAN
PRESIDENT RAMONÉ TO PUBLICIZE AIRBASE LOCATIONS
This morning, President Miguel Ramoné stated that he plans to make public the locations of new airbases he has scattered through Talonia.
In what he has called a “Show of readiness”, President Ramoné hoped that by showing possible adversaries the proximity of airbases to their nations, he plans to keep Talonia at peace.
“Sometimes the threat of violence alone is a deterrent.”, said the President yesterday. “If we want to stay at peace, we must show nations what will happen if they decide to break character.”
ThatÂ’s all for today. Stay Safe, Stay Free.

A Complete Disaster
Ozeri walked into the meeting room. He gazed upon the captains who had conducted this operation. They looked shaken and scared. They knew why Ozeri called this meeting; they knew what he was about to say, however they could not stop him. Ozeri closed the door and sat down at his seat.
“What the hell happened…” Ozeri asked.
Nobody responded as they were too afraid to speak.
‘
“I said what the hell happened!?!” Ozeri yelled. “It was the perfect plan. This was supposed to be our magnum opus, so please enlighten me on what the hell went wrong with it!”
Finally, one of the captains was brave enough to respond. “We…uh…we miscalculated how many people were stationed at their fortifications as well as how many fortifications they had set up.”
“Clearly! Some of our boats just got blown to Davy Jones’s Locker by artillery strikes before they even touched the shore! The ones that were fortunate enough to get fared no better as their soldiers were torn to shreds by machine gun fire!”
Ozeri paused and began to think. “Which one is in charge of our reconnaissance personnel?” Nobody spoke, but slowly the captains began pointing to that person. “It’s you?” Ozeri asked the person who the captains were pointing at. The man only gulped. “Have him thrown off the deck with weights tied to his ankles!” Ozeri commanded.
Ozeri has yet to order a retreat. It is very likely he will attempt another landing soon.

Lestevian Leader Summit: Football
Today concludes the largest leadership summit in Lestevia where surprisingly football was still the big topic that needed a discussion. The government agreed to let the private industry sponsor the nations football program. This means no more federal support to the nations 8 individual football clubs. Instead each team will have its own private sponsor who must agree in purchasing a 50% stake in the team. This new agreement represent a 4% decrease in national taxes. Rumor has it the nation is in talks on establishing a national football team to compete in international leagues. President Ekin-Su Constagal declined to comment on the matter. Nonetheless the move opens up opportunities for new stadium improvements and renovations that are desperately needed, new team uniforms, apparel for fans, and other opportunities that were not available while each team was under national control.
All TV's in Genos are disrupted by a emergency alert system.

"This is not a drill."
"I repeat, this is not a drill."
"If explosions, gunfire, yells, etc. Are heard, take immediate shelter."
"Long live Genosa."

Victory over the MFA, and the Extraction of Resources from Chyrak
Volkstonia is triumphant. The Markian Freedom Army insurgents have finally been destroyed, a harsh punishment awaiting the survivors of the destroyed organization.
President Helgi walks into the High Office, the whole Council of Ministers greeting him with a standing ovation.
Helgi: “Thank you, comrades. Sit down.”
War Minister Walter Bernheim begins his report.
Bernheim: “Comrade President, the Markian Freedom Army has officially been completely defeated by our servicemen! The rat bastards that we’ve captured are being held up in camps across the south. We’re waiting your instructions on what to do with them.”
Helgi: “Hmm.”
President Helgi ponders for a few seconds.
Helgi: “You know the thing the old Volks used to do in the 13th century? Where every tenth prisoner was burnt… and the rest forced to eat their ashes…?”
Schäfer (Foreign Minister): “Comrade President, you’re suggesting we, uh, um, decimate them?”
Helgi: “Ah, yes, decimate! That’s the word I was looking for. And yes, we are going to decimate them.”
Bernheim: “Gladly, Comrade President. Those fascist roaches deserve it. I’ll have the Ministry sign their death warrants soon.”
Bild (Trade & Commerce Minister): “Mm. This is great news as well since those insurgents won’t disrupt our massive highway project.”
Helgi: “By the way, how’s that coming along?”
Dietrich (Rural Development Minister): “Splendidly, Comrade President. We’ve already plowed through all the trees we needed to plow. Construction on the railway and the road is well underway.”
Helgi: “That’s great. We won the war, comrades! We were always going to, anyways. Those bastards were stupid for attacking us.”
The room ‘mmms’ in agreement with Helgi.
Bernheim: “Damn right, Comrade President.”
Helgi drinks his Colombian tea, letting out a sigh of relief.
Helgi: “Now, what of our Zyreakian allies? How are things going over with them?”
Bernheim: “Construction of the military bases in their territory is well underway. We’ve spread out across all of Zyreakia, including a camp near their capital.”
Helgi: “Great.”
Bernheim: “Also, we’ve started to send our advisors and officers to their military command, to help them re-structure that dang broken air force of theirs. We’ve already got several of their biplanes over to be put in our National Aerospace Museum.”
Bild: “May I also add, something, Comrade President?”
Helgi: “What is it?”
Bild opens a file on the desk and flips some pages.
Bild: “Comrade President, I’m not sure you’re aware, but Zyreakia has a higher GDP than us.”
Helgi: “What?”
Bild: “Yes, their GDP is around… 400 billion. Ours is only slightly more than half that.”
Helgi: “Well thats screwed up! And they’re supposed to be our puppets!”
Bild: “Yes, Comrade President, which is why I would like to devise to you a plan.”
Bild turns on the television, after connecting his laptop to a power socket on the wall. He clicks a remote to open a slideshow, detailing a plan.
Bild: “Comrade President, as we have stationed a lot of our military there… and have a lot of influence over their government, I wanted to get us to start extracting their resources.”
Helgi: “Hmm… go on.”
Bild: “The Zyreakians currently are mining and extracting, as well as manufacturing, lots of products like silicon, gold, and computer hardware and electronics. If we could, ahem, persuade our good friends in the Zyreakian government, through our military presence in their country, to divert some of those resources to our country, our economy would benefit, greatly.”
Helgi: “Mmm. Mmm. Yes. I like that. I really like that. Opinions?”
Bernheim: “Like Comrade Bild has correctly implied, yes, we could force them to hand over lots of their economic output for our gain.”
Helgi: “Splendid. Go on with the plan, then. Make sure to orchestrate this along with Walt and the MoW, then, since they’ll be important in the persuasion part.”
Bild: “Of course, Comrade President.”

THE GENOS REPORT
The Gosenians have not been giving up, any building higher than the walls was a target, with it quickly being destroyed.
The Genosan supplies are slowly starting to run low, at night, distress flares have been sent up into the air. The Gosenian artillery barrage has not ended, with bits of the first layer of wall slowly crumbling off.
Genos civilians have also not been spared, with many dying from artillery, or just rubble.
Any wounded soldiers left to die, as they are running low on medical supplies.
The Genosan soldiers inside fight on, praying for relief from the siege.
That doesn't mean Genosan casualties are any better, the 1st layer of wall is slowly collapsing, many soldiers died from artillery, disease, etc.
The Gosenians have also taken a few casualties from the Genosan artillery, aswell as small Genosan machine gun fire from the towers, but the towers got blown up.
If the Genosans manage to blow up a artillery, the Gosenians bring out more.
As the Gosenian besiegers get stronger and stronger, the Genosans are getting weaker and weaker.
Long Live Genosa, Long Live The Proud.

SPECIAL REPORT: VOLKSTONIAN TROOPS ARRIVE IN GENOSA
GIOU: Giou International Airport was seen filled with military transport aircraft and soldiers of the Volksmilitair, marking the first ever deployment of Volkstonian troops to another continent.
The military contingent of 30,000, including parts of the Sonderkommandoabteilung (Special Forces), are named the Volkstonian Expeditionary Force to Genosa (VEFG).
They were sent to reinforce the battered Army of Genosa, who are currently engaged in ferocious fighting in the capital city of Genos against Gosenian insurgents.
Preliminary reports suggest that the Volkstonian military have begun racing west along the Genosan Interstate to relieve their allies. Time is of the essence, and these troops represent the last bit of hope Genosa has in its darkest hour. Intense battles lay ahead.
The Volkstonian Ministry of War has released a special statement advising all Genosan citizens to refrain from driving on the Interstate to ensure the smooth and rapid deployment of the VEFG to contain the Gosenian advance.
It is also rumoured that Ishiski is sending their own military force to help Genosa.
Stay tuned for more updates.

The city front gate opens, with rows of both Genosan and Volkstonian infantry units marching in, with flag holders behind.
Citizens come out of hiding, and cheer on the infantry soldiers.
The siege is over. Genos is saved.

Gotta grab them all
A new game has appeared on the Talonian market invented by a small Precceton games studio called Game Maniac. The game, Compartment Beasts, or Comést for short, has taken the market by storm. It’s incredibly popular for its vast scope and fun beast grabbing mechanics. It involves a young boy living in the “Besançon Region” (a fictionalized version of the very real Bescanian island) going on an adventure to become the champion of the Comést league, by using his collected Comésts in battles. It’s been praised by both adults and kids alike for being a good wholesome game that is easily played by people of any age group.

Diplomatic mission with Lehtonia
With diplomatic embassies being established between Lehtonia and West Vesteria, construction on the Lehtonian embassy has begun. What used to be a public golf course in the residential district of Toussaint is being converted into a ‘Diplomatic District’ that will host the embassies of each allied nation. The Lehtonian Embassy will be constructed in the architectural fashion of their culture, and will accompany a jacuzzi for Lehtonian diplomats to enjoy.
Along with diplomatic embassies between the two nations, trade agreements have been formed. West Vesteria being one of TaloniaÂ’s leading producers of telecommunications technology & equipment will provide deals on bulk telecommunication purchases to Lehtonia. With this, the West Vesterian Construction Corps is planning to send 1,000 representatives from the telecom division to educate Lehtonian workers on the equipment. In return, Lehtonia has offered deals on natural gas, oil and energy products to West Vesteria. Chancellor Jim Borgia released a public statement on the diplomatic mission.
”While nations in southern regions of Talonia war with one another or even themselves, the peoples of Lehtonia and West Vesteria proudly display another example of northern Talonian unity. We successfully came to an agreement with the Lehtonian government that mutually benefits both nations greatly. The Vesterian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working closely with the Lehtonian government to finalize trade deals between our nations. This is the beginning of a great friendship with our neighbor to the south west. Long live northern Talonian prosperity!“

THE DAILY DUCAL
Neazan citizenship bill of 2027, here's what you need to know
On October 14th, the Neazan Confederate Government announced massive changes in its passed bills, allowing for a new era of flexibility and movement. A significant redundant of waiting time has been lowered from 10 years to simply 5 years of residency meaning it will be possible for dual citizenship to all nations, carrying considerable implications for residents and their families.
National Confederate Re-settlement program
The bill after passing through the House of Nobles and the House of Commoners has allowed the Confederate government to relocate several asylum, refugees to less inhabited areas of Neaza (mostly in the south and west near the city of Kaszkade, Krajadék, Náspák). With this bill's passing the government and High-Sovereign hope to further develop the south and the west through heavy investments and the usage of labour, the government also hopes to pass another welfare bill in the coming future allowing for the relocation of Neazans who are in a terrible state, unable to have proper housing due to financial struggles and the lack of jobs to be able to stand up on their own with the promises of giving them jobs through royalty owned mining and lumber companies.
Outrage in the House of Commoners, protests ensue
The citizenship bill wasn't without much controversy though, as the far right-wing party "NRM" or lesser known "National Rehabilitation Movement" and the more moderate right-wing party "Regnum" alongside the right wing of the centrist party "Kentrum", combined 55 out of the 125 seats who had opposed the bill had called up for a boycott and protests against the bill calling "Let the foreign devils be driven out of Neaza!" seeing a slight spike up in xenophobic attacks on tourists and Non-Neazan civilians alike.
Confederate government under the management of Miniszter-Kantsler Frigyes Kál and His Majesty's High-Sovereign Krájor I. had called up the police to heavily crack down and to restore order all across Neaza. We can only assume that further escalation is possible if the opposition leaders refuse to stand down even if threatened with arrests.
OOC:I have been busy with F1 and other stuff so the next post is VERY late
2 policemen are wandering around Squirlis and come across a bodyÂ…
Officer 1 on radio:”we have a body in an ally on Uthsh Street, please come and block off the area”
*Officer 2 bent down and examined the body*
Officer 2:”hey, there's a note in his pocket”
He read out the note:“Hello,I see you have found Mr Eloib, our former assassin.we sent him to get rid of old Freddie and he failed.He then had the audacity to try and hide from us, but he didn’t last long.Don’t worry, we have lots more planned for this crumbling country in the future and lots more Mr.Eloibs to do it.we hope you have fun with this fun little puzzle we have left you.
Yours,S and Family”
Officer 1:”let’s wait for the other guys to arrive then we’ll bring this back to the station, and discreetly. Can’t have anyone seeing a dead body around here,especially with the state of the city as it is”
Proxifal Joins the World Stage!
A nation like many others ravaged by the scars of the past, Proxifal has managed not only piece itself back together, but sends a direct message to the world that it is ready to engage in the modern era.
We asked the Proxan foreign secretary, Yasmeena Abdullahi, for comment on this major event.
Yasmeena: "Indeed, today marks a turning point in our nation's history. While we come from nomads and travelers, today we stand to show that we have become intellectuals and visionaries ready to learn from and to teach the world. Shirazabad, home to the ancient Al Hamiqi University and our nation's capitol, sits as a beacon to all that seek deeper knowledge in sciences and philosophy."
As we watch attentively at Proxifal's first steps into the modern world, we shall see if they truly have what it takes.

GOVERNMENT MANDATE
Recent government mandate calls for the making of a new anthem for the patriotic kingdom, which would be used by the country. For further incentive, a Royal anthem may be made for the king Nikolasasko himself.
MANDATE: APPROVED, FINISHED
BY NEW MANDATE, NATIONAL AND ROYAL ANTHEMS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN.
Approved music. Including names, lyrics, and songwrites.
March of the Northern Rifleman National anthem, Bulkhary Zhemnikov
From the wild taiga
From the royal palace
In silence, like a menacing storm сloud
Ishiskians are going to war
They were sternly raised by
Taciturn taiga,
Cruel storms of the ocean
And the Eurasian snows
Unfamiliar with fatigue and fear
They fight night and day
Only grey papakha
Is askew
Oh, Ishiski, native land
We will stand for you
We shall send your bow
To the waves of the Arctic and rivers
Know, Ishiski, in this difficult times
Your sons will defend the honour
Of the great people
In memory of our glorious past
Burning with our faith
Ishiski will rise
And this song will be heard by
The hills of the ancient lands
Kankliklied Royal Anthem, Oli Helenkii

Cracks of Division
The 2027 Lestevian Leadership Summit concluded with many national projects disproportionately approved in the Albertus province. Eastern leaders overwhelmingly felt snubbed which theyÂ’ve had no problems voicing. Ahna Peltaki the mayor of Nova Phobus announced a new economic pact made up of only eastern cities. The EEC also known as the Entente of Eastern Cities is a taxed based economic alliance whose goal is to be able to invest in their own regional economy. A 3% tax hike on all individuals, business, consumer goods, and services will go into effect on MON 25 Oct. 2027. The tax increase will be used to help fund future economic opportunities in Belcalis that western leaders continue to ignore.
Military Time Now Compulsory
President Eken-Su Constagal made an executive order that all men and women must serve a full calendar year in the Lestevian National Military when they turn 18 years old. Citizens that are physically and mentally disabled, citizens in criminal and or substance rehabilitation facilities, or citizens that are injured are exempt. Basic training will now be a requirement for one weekend per month for a full year come the 18th birthday. This specific enlistment does not included being ordered into an active war.

Auroora Festival 2029 Song storms the Zyraki charts
In the night of October 26th 2027 to October 27th 2027, the song "When I'm Gone" performed by Sini Thibaut and written by Maria Surr, stormed the charts in Zyreaika. It is also an Auroora Festival 2029 entry and the lyrics of the chorus are also very popular in the Zyrakian version of TaloTok. These are:
Now I breathe (pronounciation: braith) on my own,
I will never think of you,
Now leave on my own,
Going on against of you,
Do you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o, o-o-o-o-o love me when I'm gone?
Do you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o, o-o-o-o-o love me when I'm gone?
Love me when I'm gone...

GOV'T ANNOUNCES ALLIANCE WITH LEHTONIA, NEAZA, GRUSNIA, ZAPOROZHNIA
[list]In late September, Kirin had extended a cordial invitation to the nations of Lehtonia and Neaza to participate in the formation of the Baishin Co-Prosperity Pact - an alliance aimed at subsidizing and forwarding economic and military collaboration for the mutual benefit of all member nations.
"This invitation stems from the common history of our nations. As fellow common descendants of the great Second Baishinic Confederacy, we feel obliged to assist you in the improvement of your infrastructure, whether it be civilian, industrial, or military. By joining forces, we believe that our combined strengths and resources can contribute significantly to the advancement and well-being of our respective peoples," said Acting President Uranzaya Tungalag in the now-public telegram that was sent to the foreign ministries of the BCP's member nations.
The alliance is allegedly also cooperating with the Vosea Naval Accord between Grusnia, Zaporozhzia and Neaza, who is already a member of the BCP.
"The idea of subsidizing economic and military collaboration among member nations is not only visionary but also resonates with the values of mutual benefit and shared prosperity. We are the direct descendants of the Baishins and therefore it is our collective responsibility to assist our fellow Baishinic nations in improving their infrastructure across civilian, industrial, and military sectors. As a Kirinian, I believe that joining forces with the VNP will not only strengthen our alliance but also contribute significantly to the advancement and well-being of all our peoples," says President Tungalag in a recent interview.[/list]
BACARRA WEST POINT WINS THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
[list]In a thrilling football match held at the Suprekhel Stadium in Idevk on the 20th of October, Kirinian side Khanbalik Wanderers suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Askriegian side Bacarra West Point AFC, with a final score of 2-1.
The match kicked off with both teams displaying remarkable skill and determination on the field. The Wanderers, after winning the Champions League and the Kirinian Premier League last year, were eager to secure another victory to secure their 4th overall Champions League title. However, Bacarra West Point proved to be formidable opponents, employing the strategy of 'parking the bus', defending carefully with slow but steady attacking build-up. The Wanderers failed to score despite registering 12 shots on target against Bacarra's 2 in the first half, leaving them fatigued in the second half. Eventually, Bacarra West Point center midfielder Thomas Deeney was left with too much breathing room, scoring a wonderful strike from just outside the box to make it 1-0 in the 54th minute. Left winger Ader made it 2-0 in the 67th minute from a corner after a deflected header off Khanbalik defender Kayaan Borgijin. Kenshi Nakamura of Khanbalik Wanderers scored a half-volley in the 88th minute to pull one back, but it would only turn out to be a consolation goal as Bacarra managed to hold out for the remaining 10 minutes.

Post by Nerp Bagezickander suppressed by Idevk.
My fellow citizens of Nerp Bagezickander,
Today, I want to talk to you about our country's economic growth. As we stand here, we are witnessing a new era of prosperity and progress. Our economy is thriving, and the numbers speak for themselves. Our GDP is on the rise, our exports are increasing, and our businesses are flourishing.
But, my friends, this is not just about numbers. This is about the opportunities that economic growth brings. It means more jobs, better infrastructure, and improved living standards. It means a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.
But we didn't get here by accident. We got here through hard work, determination, and smart policies. We invested in our people, in our infrastructure, and in our industries. And we are seeing the results.
Now, we must continue on this path. We must keep working together to create a business-friendly environment, to foster innovation, and to ensure that everyone has access to the opportunities that come with growth.
So let us celebrate our successes, but let us also remain humble and focused on the work ahead. Let us continue to strive for a stronger, more prosperous Nerp Bagezickander for all. Thank you!

VICTORY FOR ASKRIEG!!!
Bacarra West Point AFC has been crowned as the first Askriegian team to win the Champions League this season. The Association Football Club, based in the border town of Bacarra, exceeded many pundits predictions during the season. With certain groups calling the team as "merely a sideshow," or most famously, "an affirmative action that 'all' tiers of football can participate in the Champions League." West Point won against a heavily favored Khanbalik Wanderers, a giant oil-money club from Moukden And Kirin and a dominator of the Kirinian Premier League. The David versus Goliath story was capped by West Point defending their honors, clinching a 2-1 win against the giant.
Bacarra became a symbol of Askriegian spirit overnight. Consul Carraway, a famously Honor Sentinel fan, declared the weekend as national bank holidays, and sanctioned an "no holds barred celebration" in the town. The mayor reciprocated wholeheartedly, by allowing his private mansion to be used as a makeshift rave party for the fans and townsfolk. It was reported the party in the city went on for 3 days and 3 nights.
West Point AFC players and coaching staff were paraded in an open-top bus, with the trophy proudly placed on a pedestal. As they went around the usually quiet town, the streets and frankly every open space were filled with Askriegian football fans, disregarding their club allegiance. In a display of camaraderie and sportsmanship, Jorge Moutinho --the manager of FC Aurora Internazionale, congratulated the manager of West Point AFC in winning the trophy, and complimented him by "employing the most Askriegian tactics by cowardly defending against the enemy with 7 at the back."
With the 20 million USD prize money, there were rumors about the AFC reorganizing into a fully fledged professional club. The AFC board were talking about attracting overseas investors by committing sums of the money into remarketing the club. However these rumors were unconfirmed.

A Secret Meeting for Three in Nova Phobus
The Mayor of Nova Phobus Ahna Peltaki walks into her mayor office where the Mayor of Omnic and Parcel are seated in two chairs across from her desk.
Mayor Ahna Peltaki: “Gentleman, I’m glad you both accepted my emergency invitation to meet here in Nova Phobus,” she says as she takes her seat and starts passing out individual documents to them. “Something in my spirit has not been right since the conclusion of the Lestevian Leadership Confe-”
The Mayor of Omnic Hugo Bossier cuts her off before she can finish her statement.
Mayor Hugo Bossier: “Was it the new high speed train connecting Brontess and Wyndolette?”
Mayor Lanair Paylo of Parcel chimes in.
Mayor Lanair Paylo: “But local trains in my city smell like piss and are out of service every other week due to maintenance. I continue to ask for funds to help with the issue but the big wigs continue saying that’s a local issue.”
Mayor Ahna Peltaki: “And that’s why I have brought you here today. None of our transportation industries got any type of investment. Instead they approve billions of jules for a new high speed train while infrastructure in the east continues to rot and decay. Of course the fishing industry in my city was hit with yet another environmental regulation when it comes to fishing on the lake.”
Mayor Lanair Paylo: Don’t you think that’s funny? Your major source of income keeps getting hit due to “environmental regulations.” I wish there was more we could do especially with the establishment of the EEC.
Mayor Ahna Peltaki grins as she directs the two to read the documents that she has placed before them.
Mayor Ahna Peltaki: “Gentlemen…I’m about to start a campaign in the coming weeks for eastern Lestevia to gain its own independence. The Entente of Eastern Cities that we established last week was only the beginning. Our region continues to get the short end of the stick at the expense of the west and I just cannot take it anymore. I need your support. If we can each get 100,000 signatures from verified citizens in our cities, we can make a case for this issue to be included on the national ballot come the 2028 election. Please think on this because once we start there’s no turning back.
A power outage effecting half of the city abruptly ends the meeting.
Mayor Hugo Bossier: “Hey who turned out the lights?”

The Root Eater | 2027/11/06
Foreign submarine docked at Soor.
At 17:08, a foreign-made submarine was spotted in the Arctic by a yacht owner, who posted video footage on social media:
[Embedded social media post with a video]
The footage shows the submarine being escorted by two frigates normally used for poacher patrols. Despite a suspected cover-up on social media, over a hundred citizens swarmed the Soor naval shipyard by the submarine's arrival.
A line of police officers prevented the crowd and press from entering the shipyard, while holding back answers. But The Root Eater refuses to disappoint.
After scaling the roof of a nearby appartment building, our reporters were able to get film about three minutes of footage before being forced to flee.
[Footage description start]
The footage is slightly shaky due to the camera's zoom. 24 men in ragged clothing are standing close together, attempting to warm their hands. They are surrounded by armed guards.
Their apparent captain, dressed in a greatcoat and smoking in between sentences, is in a heated exchange with Maattaa Puukkoinen, the port administrator.
Though the administrator retains a calm demeanour, the captain grows more agitated as the exchange continues, frequently resorting to almost theatrical gesticulation. After thirty seconds, he turns around and points to the freezing crew - at this point, an orange-and-white flag patch on his arm can be seen.
The port administrator is then approached by a yet unidentified civilian, and, after a brief exchange, the civilian points in the direction of the camera. The camera shakes slightly as Maattaa turns and squints his eyes. He gestures the captain his crew to follow him inside the administration building - the foreigners obey, tailed by the guards. The recording stops abruptly.
[Footage description end]
It is unclear if this is a matter of national importance or a small misunderstanding, since no authority on any level gave us any sort of answer, though the former is more likely.
The Root Eater never sleeps. Hottest scoop from Lehtonia and abroad published biweekly.

THE DAWN OF ALLIANCES
Among talks of the SEDP (South Eurasian Defence Program) and the EUF (Eurasian United Front), the two alliances have decided to integrate into eachother to form the new Eurasian spanning alliance, the USAE (United Security Alliance of Eurasia) to protect against larger forces. With the joining of many new states in the SEDP before the official charter is confirmed, it has proven itself to be one of, if not, the largest current Military alliance in Talonia. This proves that maybe there is hope for the nations that are disenfranchised, in turmoil, or are at threat of larger powers taking advantage of them. The charter contains fourteen articles, and can be read online or in person at embassies such as the one in Volgozov. We hope any nations that feel the way we do and wish to join, apply. A new dawn shines upon Eurasia, as the people of Eurasia unite against forces of evil. Glory to the USAE!
List of MembersÂ…
Vladis - Head of EUF
Ishiski - Head of SEDP
Chyrak (Zyreaika)
These nations, if they stay United, can lead Talonia to a better future free of aggressionÂ…
To the new Dawn!

The Rail and Seed Initiative Passes!
Yesterday morning a bill was introduced to parliament by the Shāh himself. While a rare occurrence, precedent is that if the Shāh submits a bill to parliament then the legislation is immediately prioritized.
This bill titled the "Rail and Seed Initiative" orders that two high-speed rails be built to connect the major port cities of Yazdogan and Al Nouranak-Farzin with the Capital. In addition, significant subsidies will be given to the agricultural sector with a focus on silk and opium plantations.
The bill was said to pass with an overwhelming majority. The only dissenters were from the HH (Home and Health) party stating that while they are in support of the increased investments into infrastructure, the bill did not contain satisfactory environment and labor protections.
______________
The World Eyes Proxifal
With Proxifal recently opening up to world affairs, numerous factions have voiced interest in inviting the nation into their coalitions. This would promise increased economic and military investment, but at the cost of decreased relations with opposing coalitions.
It is said that while the Shāh voiced interest in the idea of joining one, he and his foreign secretary Yasmeena Abdullahi agreed that doing so without fully understanding where Proxifal stands in this world order would be rather rushed.
While Proxifal has decided that it will remain temporarily neutral, it has voiced that it is open to talks with foreign states about trade and investment obligations.

LAST WEEK'S TONIGHT with James McAllister
TRI-NATION HIGHWAY OFFICIALLY OPENS
Another precedence is set in Talonia by the Askriegians. The Tri-Nation Highway project, pioneered by Askrieg Transportation Advisory Board, officially opened last Tuesday. The highway network will connect Askrieg, Ishiski, and Genosa, in an integrated expressway system spanning thousands of miles long, connecting important trade cities and dense population centers. The highway has 3 major veins; the first, connecting Aurora and Genos; the second, connecting Genos and Volgozov; and the third, connecting Volgozov and Aurora. The highway is projected to significantly reduce travel times and logistical cost for businesses critical for the area.
The project sets the record for the highest infrastructure cost in Talonia, valuing well above 2 billion USD. It is paid in collaboration of Askrieg's Talonia War Reparations Fund, Genosan government expenditure, and private Ishiskan investments. This brand new connectivity in the three nations hopefully will bring a new era of market globalization that Askrieg government currently focuses on.
PANCA KERTASANA JOINT NAVAL MILITARY EXERCISE
Last Wednesday, Commandant Jackie Ryan set sail with the first of Askriegian naval fleet towards the Caspian Gulf. They were to rendezvous with the Precceton Navy to conduct a joint military exercise. Dubbed the 'Panca Kertasana,' the exercise will focus on both nation's naval readiness in repelling an air and naval attack on a strike group. It will also focus on training the pioneer Askriegian sailors that will eventually crew the first Carrier Strike Group One that is estimated will be finished in 18 months.
A spoke person for the Revolutionary Guards have stated that the joint exercise has been in the drawing table for months, and not a "rag-tag, winging it, plan like some of our other operations would have you believe." We were inclined to believe that statement.
KIRIN JOINS THE LAUSINNE PACT
Early this afternoon, Askrieg Foreign Affairs Office received full confirmation that Moukden And Kirin have formally joined the Lausinne Pact. The Confederacy have agreed to non-aggression clauses and will enjoy the free-port rights of the pact. With this addition to the treaty, Kirin will secure a much bigger leverage in the diplomatic power of the alliance, being the strongest naval presence in Talonia. However, doubts are raised by foreign policy analysts stating that Kirinians have a historic tension with the Askriegians, especially regarding football fanaticism; citing the last Football Riots incident that saw 7 Askriegians killed and 4 Kirinians beheaded.
Regardless, this will improve the pact's diplomatic legitimacy in the world stage.
