I would like to take a moment to formally announce my policy for voting in the WA going forward. I will refrain from voting for a period of time, say a day or so, and will then cast my vote with the majority of Thalassians on any issue before the WA. However, if the matter at hand is, in my judgement, important for the region or its allies, I will vote in the best interest of Thalassia. Thank you for your time!
Oh, I almost forgot, time to plug my sponser ask you to endorse the Vice Delegate, The Gilded Star. Doing so will help ensure regional security (gotta accumulate that influence) in the event of something like an invasion or my incapacitation. Thank you all, hope you have a good day :]

Radio Zeneslav News
- The Ministry of Transport launches new driver ID program, reports dramatic success
- Former baseball star Hù Ljdòng pleads guilty to drug-related offences
- Proksjmjev resident starts chicken nugget-worshipping church
NA TRANSPÒRTJÈ
- The Ministry of Transportation, under the new leadership of Bendźamjn Lèoslav, has made groundbreaking changes in IDing drivers and citizens of Zeneslav over the last month. Drivers in Zeneslav are now expecting to see new IDs issued over the next several months as part of a nationwide test run of the new system, which aims to improve both searching and confirming information for Zeneslav's citizens. The new IDs have standard features like name, date of birth, and home address, but contain new security features such as a holographic watermark, UV-reactive invisible print, and a scannable QR code which connects to the Zenesk Central Database, where every scan from official card readers is logged and timestamped. The minister says this will help cut down on counterfeit IDs, as well as false arrests and police corruption, of which the Ministry of Justice has been reporting increasing cases over the past few months. The new IDs have seen wide rollout in just the month of November alone, with foreign nationals eagerly opting in as well. The Ministry of Transportation hopes to oversee complete conversion to the new system by late 2021.
NA SPÒRTAŚ
- Former baseball star, Hù Ljdòng, pleaded guilty to drug-related offences yesterday at the Zenesk High Court in Cśevaljsk. He has been sentenced to a year in prison with community service and monitored rehabilitation beginning upon release. The athlete has also been cut from the national baseball team and his government benefits have been rescinded shortly after after arrest. The root of his drug problems and attacks against citizens have not been confirmed by the Borjagràd Police Department, though it is speculated that stress from team practice sessions and recent decline in popularity of the sport have played a role. Team manager Bòrjs Zagrajèv lamented the loss of his star player, but agreed to move on and help bolster team morale. The position of first base will be taken by Pavlòv Grànjslav, with newcomer Wòt Andrèjesk hired to fill second base. Zagrajèv predicts good things from the team in the coming year.
NA RELJDŹJA
- A local resident in the city of Boroskogràd, Dst. Proksjmjev made headlines recently after starting the Church of the Holy Nugget, a religion based around the worship of a giant chicken nugget. The man, Rev. Ronàldo Wendjamòv, claims the Holy Nugget spoke to him in a dream and told him to found the church, which has seen a sharp uptick in members recently. Ronàldo currently operates proceedings out of an abandoned warehouse on the city border, but has expressed plans to move his religion to a proper facility. At the rate it's ranks are swelling, the Zenesk Statistical Centre estimates that it will become the 4th most practiced religion in Zeneslav, after Irreligion, the Zenesk Orthodox Church, and Islam, respectively.
- That's all for the news today. Up next after the break, it's Rockin' Pràga with their newest hit "All At Once." I'm Làn Dźenkovjc, your host on Radio 1. We'll be right back.

Good day everyone,
it's a bit late to talk about Z-day, the annual zombie event. I am doing a survey for an article for a regional newspaper on what well-performing regions had in common. So lets get to the questions:
How would you rate your region's Z-day performance, on a scale of 1 to 5?
Did you have something like central nuclear command, and did people follow it a lot?
How populous was your region last Z-day?
Any Additional Answers are welcome and needed ^-^
Goodbye and have a nice day!

4.5 (Max has a sick sense of humour, had to update population stats only a few hours before the end).
We had our Zombie Overlords, who coordinated zombification tirelessly, and we, as zombies, were bound to follow them.
Last Z-day, as in...? 2020? 2019?
I meant success in anti-zombie efforts, anti-zombie coordination, and 2020. ^-^
Nationific
Coincidentally I like Thanksgiving cause it's near my birthday lol
Arenado
Well, we rank negative on anti zombie efforts :)
Some Random Interviewer
Ah, to clarify: Thalassia decided to play factions this year so our residents could play how they wanted. The Zombie faction won, and wouldve won by a larger margin if update hadnt happened right before the event ended. Our definition of success might not fit quite what you are looking for.
Coordination occurred on our regional discord, and each faction was given its own space to plan and work together. Id give our region a 4/5 because at least two teams conversed and attempted to work together. As for number of players, Im afraid I dont have a clear answer on that. I believe our total population sat around 130-140 at the time.
Some Random Interviewer
Anti-zombie!? What blasphemy is this?
Thalassia was turned into an undead sanctuary where zombies were free to roam and frolic, with regular releases of human captives in the habitat to keep our undead residents fed and happy.

Update: Election results by the SEC
House of Representatives
Counted:40
In doubt: 120
Liberal:13
Labor: 27
Conservatives: 0
United Selstviean:0
Others:0
Other updates:
The SBC decision desk have projected a Liberal minority with a coalition deal or even a Labor Government for the 3rd time in history, saying that Liberals getting into government alone will be extremely difficult based on these counts.
Labor Leader Mike Fore retains his seat of Choca with 53%, down from 67%
In the Southern region, almost 2/3 of the seats have been snapped by Labor. This region usually is a good indicator on how the election may turn out.
Voter turnout (excluding overseas voters) is 95%.

Too bad there's not an "Other (please specify)" option for the holiday poll. The polls probably don't have that sort of choice at all, do they? So I'll use my nitpicking RMB post for a Hanukkah write-in.
I have a few questions for people who have really intricate RP in their nations. How long did it take you to figure everything out, and how do you keep track of everything? It takes me forever to do anything in RP because I blank out trying to think of names. Seriously, if I had a baby, they'd probably be able to give themselves a name before I could think of one.

BREAKING: Labors Fore concedes after countless of anxious negotiations.
All House of Representatives Results are in:
Liberals: 63
Labor:71
Conservatives:9
United Selstviean:12
Independent/Others:5
Coalition talks stalled when conservatives and labor decided to work together whilst the independents and United agreed to stick to the Liberals, essentially splitting the house even 50-50.
After a gruelling 7 hour of talks, Labor Leader Michael Fore conceded defeat to Liberal Leader Kelvin Bird, saying someone needed to take the high road to prevent political uncertainty. He vowed to lead Labor to the next election, with the aim of sinking the Liberals future election hopes. Liberals will enter Parliament with 89 seats with the backing of the Conservatives, United Selestvieans and the independents.
Counting for Senate results are still underway.

Extraordinary Parliamentary Session November 30,2020
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Distinguished Federal Deputies, i open today's debate on the topic about general situation in the Federal Republic of Clarkstan at the request of opposition leader Elizabeth Hall. You can start with an introductory speech.
[spoiler=Leader of opposition speech]Thank you, Madam Speaker, honorable deputies, Mr. President and Madam Prime Minister, thank you for attending this session at the request of us from the opposition.Today is the day when the situation in the country should be discussed, which I must say immediately is not catastrophic, but many things need to be improved.This year was specific because of the B-20 pandemic, which partially closed our country last spring, and increased the already existing economic inequality in the country.Several times there were moments when the difference between rich and poor was great, although the government managed to regulate it.This also happened in the summer of 2019, when there was no pandemic,why does this happen often?Because this government has other priorities, such as the military, law enforcement, industry and administration.Instead of dealing with welfare, social policy, ecology, health and education, I am not saying that the first thing I have listed should be abolished completely.But this government emphasized that, and if it was the opposite, everything would be different.For now, that's it.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=President VS Leader of Opposition]Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):The word is given to President Gavric,Mr.President ,please.
Luka Gavric(President of FR Clarkstan):Thank you, Mrs. Speaker. Distinguished Federal Deputies, Distinguished Ministers, Prime Minister and Mrs. Hall.I will immediately say that this year was difficult, we can all agree on that.There was, of course, growth and unemployment, as well as the fall of the economy, as well as the strengthening of the wealthier citizens.The rich got stronger for a simple reason, during quarantine we restricted movement in order to protect the health of citizens.This has significantly reduced going to the cinema, shopping, nature and entertainment in general.With that, online purchases, online movie premieres, orders were updated. Most of the time was spent on the Internet.The owners who launched these types of online initiatives have gotten rich not to mention the CEO of web browsers.All this can be commented from several angles, which he profited from, what the services were and so on.The catering company paid everything regularly, we paid them all three months of quarantine.
I do not want to comment on your constant criticism of the army, police and others. The world census has characterized our public health and public education as the best in Thalassia.
Lastly, you think that if we were to become an extreme welfare state, problems would be solved.You are mistaken, if we did that we would have such a budget deficit, but your problem is that you think that money grows on trees(the hall laughed).It's really funny, but you can't understand it.However what you want, you want as many foreign students here, as well as greater accessibility of our health system to foreigners.Okay, but there's a problem ... you want to give it to them for free.You would give our services to those who have done nothing for this country for free, to the detriment of our citizens.Incredibly absolutely, a foreigner gets here for free and our man has to work and pay taxes in order to exercise his rights. Clarkstan is a country that belongs to our people with all their achievements above all.Clarkstan is not obligated to share its resources with other countries whose governments are incapable of doing the same.
I have answered some of your statements. We have time to discuss everything.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):The word is given to Elizabeth Hall.
E.H:Mr. President, as always, you are turning the issue in your favor.So I was expecting an extensive response with additional statements.I repeat, i am not in favor of abolishing the army, i also agree with you that it is naive to think that it will contribute to world peace.But you get too involved in the military and neglect other problems. That's right, we have a strong public education as well as healthcare.I am not in favor of the mass arrival of foreigners to receive our services, there are people who are in favor of that in the Democratic Party and in the opposition in general.That is their opinion but not mine.
But to move on to other things, I really don't know why you needed that whole spectacle in the cities of Clarkstan on the occasion of your request to introduce a National Abortion Awareness Day.I do not justify those roadblocks, one of my objections was addressed to our coalition partners who took an active part in it. But there is also your responsibility, first by adopting here and then seeking confirmation before the Constitutional Court. I will ask you an explanation for such a move, because after the adoption you signed it.
2020 is coming to an end, why the government of the Federal Republic of Clarkstan is not turning to alternative energy sources, electric cars, reducing emissions and encouraging recycling.Layton is one of the biggest polluters in the country if not in the whole of Thalassia. That question should also be asked to your Prime Minister of the Layton District, Kolganov, and of course mayor Nazarov should have an answer to that.But you, as the head of state, should order this by decree and give directives to the government to take steps in that direction.So, Mr. Gavric, I expect from you an answer as extensive as the previous one.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Now President Gavric has the word, please.
Luka Gavric(President of FR Clarkstan):I'm glad you agree that disbanding the army is nonsense.
Why that spectacle, you ask?Ms. Hall 80% of people support the restriction on abortion while only 20% are against, such a thing is serious and should be dedicated to the first Saturday in December.It will be December 5, all those riots broke out because the minority was against.We carry out the will of the majority of the Clarkstanian people.I understand the indignation of the other side, but that is not a reason to block the main streets in the country, provoke incidents at protests or break into the church in a vulgar physical appearance.The peaceful protest that took place two days later was an example of an adequate political reaction. The state has no problems with that, but with what they did, very much so.
The Federal Republic of Clarkstan takes care of the environment and this is best illustrated by the investment we have for these purposes. Electric cars have not yet been fully introduced but the current automotive industry needs to be taken into account.Because in case we start with that intensively, a lot of jobs will be lost and it will also be a blow to the economy.So this issue should be approached rationally and moderately.Here, for example, one of the environmental measures we have taken is increased investment in public transport by the government.Of course, a lot of money went there, but I am convinced that it is right. The government also supports local communities in this direction, especially Layton, Vasilevgrad and so on.
As for the emission of harmful gases, we are thinking about the same thing, but we must not compromise our economy, which is a key price for the good of our citizens.However, one thing is suspicious to me here, and that is that you only mentioned Layton and his leadership.I mention this because we heard it in early spring from some parties.These are the regional parties, this is another and very long topic. Thank you.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=General discussion]Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Thank you, Mr. President. We have here a list of three registered for the discussion, first the Prime Minister, Roy Marshall and Alexandra Samolova.Word has Prime Minister Emily McLayden, please.
Emily McLayden (Prime Minister):Thank you Mrs. Speaker. This government has taken the environmental problem in the country seriously and the proof of that is that a lot of money has been invested.One of those things was to reduce congestion in cities especially in the biggest way of strengthening public transport.I sent messages to all local communities to move in that direction.You may also have noticed that a lot of wind parks have been opened in the country in a year.Probably some of you will now say that this could have been done in previous years, that is, before me.I have been in the government before and I will tell you that we had other priorities then, but over time the priority things change.Thank you.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Thank you, Mrs. Prime Minister.Now i will give the word to federal deputy Roy Marshall.Please Mr.Marshall.
Roy Marshall(Leader of Conservative Party):Thank you, as the topic of the post is the situation in the country. I think it is important to discuss the events that took place at the end of October.The opposition media called the intrusion into the church, as blockades of the main roads and provocation on the street, freedom of speech.Opposition media also called for the lynching of police officers because they allegedly did not work in accordance with the law.I can't believe this is a scandal.All this was an obvious violation of public order and peace. I do not justify the actions of the Movement of 1895, but the other side is also responsible for it.I hope that all the culprits for those events will be convicted and in my opinion the biggest culprits are radical feminists.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Thank you, Alexandra Samolova you have word.
Alexandra Samolova (MP Socialist Party):Mr. Marshall, I, as a woman, am appalled because in the equality group you see the culprit and not in the far-right 1895 Movement that started the violence and that only serves it.Also, the Constitutional Court acted shamefully here by approving,they also legalize restrictions on women's rights.And as for the environment, we suggested that to the government while we were supporting you in the parliament in previous years and you ignored us. We have more understanding here.I did not want to tell you that then, but the local community where the opposition in power has far better environmental conditions.You know why because your goal is just profit but not the environment you live in. Thank you
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Mr.Robinson, please .
Michael Robinson (MP People's Republican Party,,Christian Alliance,,):Everyone's rights end where others' rights become endangered, and that is the rights of children.As for abortion, it is allowed in case of rape, not to mention incest, damage of the fetus and endangerment of the woman's life.Ms. Samolova's colleague Marshall condemned all the groups involved in the incidents. But it is known who is responsible, but I will not mention them so as not to accidentally provoke you.
This was funny to me when you said that in local communities where the opposition rules, the environmental situation is "far better".Ms. Samolova I live in the state of Ontanawa, the city of Agal more precisely in the suburbs of the city.In the period from 2011 to 2016, your man was in power in Ontanawa. Not to mention that he was a proven murderer, criminal, fraudster and manipulator.....
(Speaker interupt)Mr. Robinson, please, this man is dead.
By that logic, Ms. Speaker, we shouldn't even be talking about war criminals.
(Speaker secound inreuption)Mr. Robinson, a war criminal is something else.
Mrs. Evans, there is no difference between committing a crime in war or in peace, murder is a crime.When he came to power, the man promised to build a bridge over the river Agar, which would serve as a bypass, and 85 million marks were planned.He promised in 2011 that the bridge would be finished in 2013, he did not fulfill his promise. The bridge was built in 2018 when our man came to power there.He ordered the murder of the Chief of the Supreme Court, Lisa Montgomery, in February 2018.I received threats from his men that I had to seek the protection of the Federal Police, above all my family, not so much me.But thats a topic for a special show.
As for ecology, this period i mentioned to you, the city was dirtier than ever.Garbage bags were scattered to their liking, no leaves were bought in the fall, the streets looked like in some apocalyptic movies.My wife and friends asked me and I will quote literally, "What are you doing down in Layton?".How can i explain to people who are only interested in life and not politics that it is related to the local government, i mean garbage collection and city planning in general.You have been deceived, Mrs. Samolova, you have been seriously deceived or you are not objective. Thank you for your attention.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Thank you for such an energetic speech, but I will ask the deputies to reduce tensions during their presentation in order to avoid incidents and we will continue.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=President Press Conference in Parliament]Good evening everyone, here in front of you I would like to bring out some things and they are related to elections and local communities primarily for Layton and Planton City.In order not to bore the people with every two or even every year of elections, a decision was made to come out here with a proposal to hold presidential and parliamentary elections in the same year, which would be 2022.Personally, as President, I believe that it is necessary for the two most important events of political importance for the country to take place in the same year.Then we will know, whether it wants to be a government and a president from one political option or it will be cohabitation.It is primarily in the interest that within the political dynamics gain a new dimension.
The second topic, in talks with the mayors of Layton and Planton city, as well as with the prime ministers of both districts, accepted the proposal to decentralize both districts and introduce elections for the city assembly and mayors of smaller municipalities in both districts.Mayors and prime ministers remain, and assemblies and mayoral posts will hint at better effectiveness of these two very important communities.That proposal will also be forwarded here to the parliament for consideration. If all goes well, the elections will be held in 2021, respectively, and the mandate will last until the next local elections in 2025.This would become part of all the next local elections. Do you have any questions ....?[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Parliamentary discussion,President and Leader of Opposition 2nd clash]
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):I give the floor to the leader of the Liberal Party, Mrs Frey please.
Caroline Frey(Leader of Liberal Party):We from the Liberal Party would like to know what kind of press conference the President holds in the Parliament and on what occasion ?We would like to know that, because according to us, it is not responsible to leave such an important session where he should be as president.I personally hope that this conference was not used by him for daily political confrontations. Thank you.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Thank you. I am also interested in what was discussed at the conference, so I hope that the President will have the opportunity to explain that here as well.Thank you.It's up to MP James Cross .
James Cross(Head of the Parliamentary Club of People's Republican Party,,Christian Alliance,,):Ms. Frey, Mr. Gavric is the president and you will not say who should be where, and especially not to the head of state.Because firstly you dont have that right and secondly you are a self-proclaimed liberal and you should respect someone elses freedom to leave this hall if they want to.The president will certainly explain why he came out if not here then through the media but you will be informed and you don't have to worry about that.Thank you.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Thank you, here comes the president who has just called for a discussion.Please
Luka Gavric(President of FR Clarkstan):So let's get straight to the point, the conference was held because the journalists found out that there are plans to introduce some important changes.The first is about the introduction of elections for local assemblies and mayors within our two districts. Second, the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections in the same year, which would be 2022.
In the first case, the seats of mayor and prime minister remain in both districts. The city assembly in both cities is added, which will exclusively deal with activities within the city, ie the Metropolitan Area.They exist with the intention of relieving the people who work for the mayor and the prime minister of the district.The same will apply to outposts outside the city and within the district. Their goal will be to oversee some things and this will be dealt with by the newly formed Agency for Statistics,what will be the division about it will be a little more to say in the coming days.If this proposal is adopted, the elections will be held next year and the mandate of the elected representatives will last until the local elections in 2025, when they will be re-elected.This proposal was accepted in both Layton and Planton City.
As for the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections in the same year, and if it is adopted, it will be applied in 2022.I think it is quite normal to get a president, a government and a new parliamentary majority or composition in the same year. Will it be a one-party government with a president from the same political option or maybe cohabitation? We will see, I already know who will be your candidate,right? I honestly don't know who will be from the ruling ranks.I don't see a problem with working in tandem after 2022, Clarkstan should definitely experience that one day.I don't see a problem with working in tandem after 2022, Clarkstan should definitely experience that one day.Thank you for patience .
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Now the leader of the opposition has something to say.Mrs Hall, please.
Elizabeth Hall(Leader of Opposition,Democratic Party):I have to admit that holding presidential and parliamentary elections in the same year is not a bad idea.Maybe it is a good opportunity for us from the opposition to finally take power.And as for the candidacy for president, you are probably right about us.Since 2022 will be special, I believe that in that year the two strongest candidates from the two opposing camps should face the position of president.It is quite natural in a democracy for the president and the leader of the opposition to fight for the presidency.It will be a test, for you where the people will say whether you are compatible for this time and me whether i am capable of succeeding you in that position.And the one who loses would be fair to withdraw.Thank you.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):Replica, President Gavric.Please.
Luka Gavric(President of FR Clarkstan):You are a little early, Mrs. Hall, you expect me to announce my candidacy a year and a half in advance on November 30.2020.And then you would make a campaign for the whole of 2021, I told you honestly and that is that I haven't thought about it yet. I have far smarter things in mind now.Now I want us to start considering these proposals in the coming days. Now the election of the head of the Supreme Court will take place, and that is December 5, and it would be desirable for him to decide on these proposals by the end of the year. Thank you.
Clara Evans(Speaker of Federal House):The Federal House will discuss these topics in the coming days, and that is most likely after the election of the Chief of the Supreme Court. Now that there are no more applicants, I am closing this session.[/spoiler]

A Thalassian Exclusive
[spoiler=Vice Governor John Stophoe Announces Hopal will be Autonomous Again]
In an official address to the parliament today, Vice Governor John Stophoe said "Mr. Speaker, with the Civil War in Grey County, Hopal will remain officially neutral, and during this time Hopal, will completely independent from the rule of the government of Grey County, Hopal will not recognize any government in Grey County, until the conflict comes to a close. I believe this is the safest path for Hopal, and Hopalian, to relieve Hopal, from the conflict in Grey County. Until then Hopal will be governed by the Governor Jamie Smith, who will be given the title of Head of State, while the Vice Governor will be given the title of Head of Government. Laws will be recommended by the Head of Government and/or Parliament for the Head of State to approve. The Head of State will be able to recommend laws, but they will have to be approved by the Parliament. I also strongly encourage Mr. Smith to announce he is officially neutral, in the Grey County Civil War.[/spoiler]

Trouy under siege!
[spoiler] The town of Trouy, 220 km west of Arcadia, experienced a night of terror when an armed group of approximately 30 criminals closed the city's main avenues and sacked the local banks. The 250,000 residents watched in astonishment as the criminals fired large caliber weapons at the local police station, burning tires on access to the city to hinder the arrival of police reinforcements.
The action lasted approximately 1 hour, and it is estimated that the criminals managed to escape with at least D$ 2,000,000.00 in cash, as well as electronic devices and jewelry looted from local stores. They also took the few police officers for hostages, using them as human shields during their whole operation. At least 22 pistols and 4 rifles were taken from the police station. The criminals fled, abandoning vehicles about 80km from the city.
Public authorities are dismayed and embarrassed by the situation that opens up Laeden's fragile security. The attack generated immense popular outcry, with demonstrations in the main cities of the country demanding an investigation that would clarify the facts and point out the perpetrators of the crime.
According to the experts, the fact that the crime did not leave fatal victims and the enormous degree of expertise demonstrated by the criminals suggests that they are professionals, perhaps ex-military personnel and certainly familiar with tactics and the handling of heavy weapons. The sophistication of the crime further suggests that the criminals had a deep understanding of how the city works, and it is likely that before the attack they visited the site in order to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
It is not yet known whether these criminals are members of an autonomous gang or if they are part of a larger criminal organization. In any case, investigations have already started and the Central Government authorities have made it clear that they will not rest until they capture the bandits and recover the stolen goods [/spoiler]
Pororoca
[spoiler] Pororoca. Noun. Name given to tidal bores observed in places where fresh water, usually coming from a river, meets seawater.
Although the word is somewhat comical, it is not provoking laughter in the Senate, where the Minister of Infrastructure has been summoned to explain the Pororoca Project, an ambitious project that aims to complement Laeden's drinking water supply using desalinated water.
Currently we are entirely dependent on the water coming from our great rivers Ageon and Astréon, said the minister, at the official hearing in the Senate. Most water resources are allocated for irrigation. The industry holds the second place in water consumption, while the citizens fall far behind in the third place, he explained.
The possibility of depleting our water resources is real and needs to be taken seriously. We take water for granted most of the time, but the indicators of the Ministry of Infrastructure show that in the last decades our water consumption has increased exponentially without our sources having followed it. In a few years, we may face a scenario of depletion of our water supply capacity, which we must avoid at all costs, added the minister, under the worried gaze of the senators.
In the ambitious plan brought before parliamentarians, the Ministry of Infrastructure proposes to complement the country's water matrix with the construction of several desalination plants in the coastal region of Laeden. The idea is to convert the abundant sea water into drinking water, supplying the entire national coast with this new source. The Ministry also suggests that pipelines be installed to allow desalinated water to be taken inland, helping to irrigate large plantations, which today are entirely dependent on river sources.
The minister also emphasizes the need to improve the water recycling system to promote sustainability through the reuse of water without depending on new sources. For this, the construction and expansion of water treatment plants are also pointed out in the Pororoca Project.
Although senators are convinced that ensuring Laeden's water security is a topic of national interest, many are not convinced by the plan, for financial reasons. The Central Government's fiscal policies have been demanding a lot from the National Treasury, and senators are not willing to risk the country's fiscal balance. The discussion to be held in the coming days will be how much the Senate is willing to grant to the Central Government to achieve the ambitious Pororoca Project. [/spoiler]
Turmoil abroad!
[spoiler] Laeden's society watches, distraught, the civil war unfolding in Grey County. A petition with more than 5,000 signatures was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanding an official statement on the conflict. The Consul of Laeden, mr. Gaspard d'Albignac, expressed his concern and publicly announced that Laeden offers to mediate the conflict and seek, with the warring parties, a peaceful solution to minimize the economic and social impacts that the civil war will certainly bring.
As for the death of King Monteque, Laeden's Ministry of Foreign Affairs dispatched an emissary to attend the monarch's funeral in Newwadiya. The diplomat expressed the regret of the Laedenian authorities at the death of the King, wishing the royal family strength at this very delicate moment. [/spoiler]

After the government lifted certain regulations on large companies, there was a sharp economic downturn that hit Average poor income the hardest, while the entry into the budget coffers fell. While that decline was also felt by citizens with average salaries.The main opposition Democratic Party is as angry as other left-wing parties.
Theodore Carr(MP Democratic Party):When I read the information about how it was and how it is now, everything will be clear to you.
Average income of poor :322,000->138,000
Average Income:408,000->398,000
Average income of Rich 527,000->966,000

Hello, I havent been active on Nation-states for a few months now but im excited to start getting back into it. I was saddened to look at our region page and see that it seems weve lost around 200 nations since the last time I was active. Was their any specific reason for the massive loss of nations? Or was it simply that many nations had lost interest in the region?
