History

All of these attacks... reminds me of PATCO Badivermeraed

Badivermeraed, Ayeinc, Zentata, Portugal And Great Britannia

I have an important announcement to make. Thalassia has the opportunity to join the URA! The United Regions Alliance is a WA league which will help us expand our WA Influence and our relations with other regions! I'd strongly encourage all of you to approve this alliance, since it is the best option for this region! Thank you for your time. A vote will be upcoming shortly.

The Monkeish Gurri Nova Communico have taken hostages in the city hall of Duno, the centre of the GNC's operations. They say the hostages will not be released until there is a snap election in the city. Partia Nova Communico, New Communist Partyhas been approved as a political party by the electoral commission.

Policia Nationale have said that tackling terrorism is their top priority, and there have been 13 arrests in connection with the attacks across Thalassia, and Alexandero Nassino has expressed his sadness towards the victims of the attacks.

In other news, the SDM is polling at 26%, with their rivals, the AC polling at just 17. The recent B-20 crisis, and the terrorism issues seem to be the largest issues influencing the postal-only election on 12 June. Anti-lockdown protests continue, and fines have been given out, but the curve seems to be flattened, and the threat level is being lowered.

The Zentatan Communist Party, a minority group with just two seats in the lower house, has condemned the recent attacks done by other communist supporters in Maxilains, Hopal, Monkelandd, and more. Their leader, Alejandro Mustorfa said in a statement earlier today: "I do not, along with the rest of my party, support the recent attacks. We are not terrorists here." Nevertheless, the party's ratings have dropped, but not by a significant margin. The lack of violence in Zentata has been attributed to the abundance of political freedom in the country and the strict lock-down limiting opportunities for a strike.

The investigation has uncovered a video recording taken shortly before the bombing which confirms that Kamry Ulok was the bomber and that Alexander Rawabi was not involved.

It seems as though the URA tends to vote the way I do, but if I disagree with the majority I can choose to abstain. The members of Thalassia will continue to have complete freedom in their vote choice.

It will not slow down WA Voting. The URA looks at and votes on resolutions before they hit the floor, which will let me continue to vote as soon as resolutions come online.

All of the Maxilains television channels included a mysterious

video recorded by Malik Havn in which he introduced himself as

a member of the Thalassia Liberation Front (T.L.F) and said that

all today's assassinations were carried out by the management of

T.L.F. He also announced that this is not the end, but only the beginning.

The Maxilains government is trying to locate the place from which

the movie was released in the ether, but due to the widespread

"revulsion" of Maxilains to modern technology it can be very difficult,

that's why Duke Edwin II de Bhrie in an interview with National Television of

Maxilains said that he asks the governments of all Thalassia countries for help.

Joan: The New Modern Communist Party of the Outer Union (NMCPOU) head leader, Lusaka Joansick, condemns the attacks on the lands and sends condolence to those that has been affected. In the word of Lusaka "This attacks are ruthless, their actions are causing pain to other people and must be stop at once." However president May of the Outer Union has stated "I want to send condolences to all families affected by the recent terrorist attacks and I wish we would help, however we too are quite handful." The reason why is that yesterday 23 Unionist went missing all at the same time. Police and National Investigators have been looking for them the moment they dissapeared but are having no luck. Many believe that they are expected to be connected to the recent attacks with them kidnapping for brainwashing and recruiting them. Until then, there will be a wide search for the 23 missing.

Because of recent uprisings and terrorist attacks, the prime-minister of El Hierro released a statement:

“I’m glad to announce that everyone in El Hierro is and will be safe. There have not been any recent signs of uprisings or terrorists. This is due to the many political rights we have, as anyone can create a party when they get enough votes. Therefore there is no reason for starting uprisings.”

“We also believe that nations in Thalassia should solve the conflict diplomatically. Using force will only increase their anger. Therefore we are open to any country that would like to solve their problems on neutral grounds.”

Government of Nationific- Statement on violent uprisings

While Nationific agrees with El Hierro that force would not be of any use with these terrorists, it also wishes to point out the precarious position of all Thalassian nations affected by the attacks. Nationific itself has witnessed several attacks from these anarcho-communists today in Nationific City. The leaders of the terrorists here have refused to negotiate on peaceful terms with the Government. Thus, the only option is force. We assure all Thalassian Nations, that this force will in no way interfere with any of your internal peacekeeping efforts, nor will it lead to war with any other nation.

Signed

Nation Guy, President

Meanwhile,

"Agent 070, you are going to strike fear in the hearts of those terrorists in any way you can, all resources will be made available to you. But, there must not be any evidence linking it to us, while in the same time, they know that it's us."

"Before we begin I like to take a moment to remember the victims of horrible tragedy."

Silence

"Thank you. First I would like to update you on the investigation. This was in fact a bombing from within Kamry Ulok the bomber was carrying a bomb disguised as a briefcase. This was in fact a suicide mission and Mr. Ulok had no intention of surviving. We believe all of the recent terrorist attacks were in fact connected, though cannot confirm this. I would like to thank everyone who has helped in this investigation you are the reason we were able to find this information this quickly and that is greatly appreciated. It came as a surprise to me as I'm sure it did to many people when we found out yesterday morning of this bombing. We can never prepare for things like this but we can prevent them from happening ever again. An attack any nation is an attack to many too many lives lost too many families affected. An attack of any sort should never happen ever again."

Commissioner Polz takes his seat as Minister of Transport Laura Ginoski rises to speak

"I think Commissioner Polz's words represent how we are all feeling. We cannot let this tragedy define us it cannot define Air Hopal it cannot define air travel more generally. More must be done to prevent this from happening ever again. There must be more and stricter security and that is exactly what will. But this a memorial for those who we have already lost and those we can never get back. But we prevent attacks like these from ever happening again. So as remember those we lost in this attack we must think to ourselves, how do we prevent other attacks from ever happening again?

Minister Ginoski takes her seat as Prime Minister Jack Nicholls stands to speak

"We were all struck and mortifed when we learned of these attacks.........We cannot let this happen ever again and as Minister Ginoski said we take preventative measures to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Terrorism is not permitted in any country much in Thalassia or Hopal. We condemn all of these attack we hope that never happens again. To all the families affected Hopal and in fact Thalassia shares in your pain. We must never let an like this happen ever again. Knowing Hopal and Thalassia we will never let this from happening again. We will endure and we will prevail."

Today, Prime Minister Alexandero Nassino held a special press conference about the attacks in the nation. He gave a speech:

[spoiler=The speech]

"In the last 10 days, our nation, and indeed, our region, have witnessed some horrific attacks. Dozens of lives have been lost, and many more have been broken apart. I believe that these revolutionaries have raised some genuine concerns surrounding the way the B-20 lockdown has affected political freedoms. It is my firm belief that we must balance safety and security with the political freedoms of our people. And Monkelandd has a strong commitment to listening to our people. So, from Sunday, we will move to reduce the B-20 threat level from stage 7 to stage 6. This means that gatherings of up to 100 people will be permitted, including protests, as long as the protesters are covering their faces. I hope the GNC can accept this, and change their actions to a peaceful approach, and we will listen." [/spoiler]

In this press conference, Alexandero Nassino said he commends the actions of El Hierro, and believes that Lin Olsen's decision to intervene in Coalandia and Germania was wrong, and apologised for it.

NCPD statement

Nationific City Police has unmasked an anarcho-communist 'leader', and the person is so influential in society that the very name of that person being mentioned would lead to escalated violence across the country. Meanwhile, investigations in the Maxillains suicide bombing case have revealed the place of residence of the drug dealer suspected of supplying arms to the perpetrator. Nationific also appreciates the fact that most countries have adopted a peaceful method of negotiations with the revolutionaries. Political freedoms in Nationific are very high, but the anarchists demand complete control of the nation and say that they believe that elections are comical. In view of these serious threats to the country's political and territorial integrity, Nation Guy has been forced to use such force as to deter the terrorists. The results would only be felt after a few days.

World Assembly - General Assembly - Ethical Treatment Of Animals In Research

Vote: For

This is intended as a replacement resolution to a repeal passed in February (If I recall that correctly), and I supported that repeal, because I knew that this better resolution would appear. This resolution does not ban animal testing, rather sets humane standards to prevent un-needed harm and also helps set up methods to investigate alternatives and funding. When experimentation is needed, as little pain as possible should be caused, and the utmost kindness and understanding must be used. In order to help prevent animal torture as much as possible that is in the so-called name of science, I would encourage Thalassia to vote "For" this well-written proposal. Discussion is, as always encouraged.

It's an alliance that will help increase our influence in the WA, essentially by ensuring that all member delegates in the URA vote the same way, therefore serving as a WA Alliance. It also helps expand diplomatic opportunities

Ayeinc, Echoslavia

The United Regions Alliance is a World Assembly UCR alliance. We, along with other regions, will vote together to approve proposals or vote For, Against, or abstain on proposals at vote. The URA also has multiple internal councils that focus on voting, WA drafts and proposals, creating and passing resolutions within the alliance, and changing alliance legislation. This alliance will give Thalassia is larger voice on the WA voting stage. This alliance will probably open the door to foreign relations with new regions and exciting cultural opportunities (The URA also has role-playing!).

I highly encourage everyone to vote for this. It is a Win-Win, for you and me. If you have any more questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to state them! Thank you!

RP The Laedenian Herald

Storm’s Coming

A large storm is expected in the Duchy of Caledonia next week. The local authorities are aware of the foul mood, and the Mayor of Cardenas has attended to a press meeting, informing that all viable measures are being taken to contain the damage. Experts say that this unusually strong rain is a fairly rare phennomenon and it’s a result of a very specific combination of climate conditions, sea movement and minor hurricanes that took place a few hundred kilometers from the shore.

Speak your mind!

The Supreme Court of Laeden finished judging what is already considered a landmark case. The HC 07119.44.02.11-5104, a.k.a. Laërtes vs Laeden, quickly turned from a simple Habeas Corpus to a major political affair. The accused, Laërtes Castel, was a Political Sciences teacher at the University of Illyria and a self proclaimed “Free thinker”, engaged in several political movements deemed “extreme” by the local authorities. Famous for his compendium of Comparative Law, where he analyzed the Constitutions of several countries, especially regarding fundamental rights. In his Magnum opus, “Stating rights: The Right State”, he proclaims that a State who fails to uphold basic human and social rights ought to be overturned.

His inflamary writings earned him a large number of followers, who soon turned into an influential political movement in Illyria, which lead to clashes with the local law enforcement. He was then arrested, being charged with Vandalism, but the size of the protests in his deffence made the local authorities so concerned that the charges were changed to Sedition and High Treason.

After being convicted by the High Court of Arandor, the accused appealed to the Supreme Court of Laeden. The case was assigned to Justice Tellier, who fiercely opposed the Prosecution, arguing “There is no such thing as Free Speech in a country that cannot protect it’s own citizens from itself. In fact, the very point of free speech, a right directly derived of one’s individuality and personality, is to uphold democracy by providing the public arena with different, and often oposing, ideas and points of view. From the minute we start shutting those who voice different opinions, however extreme, we start drifting from the path of democracy!”.

Justice Drouet confirmed his colleague’s opinion, stating “The treatment given to the subject is most appalling. An enlightened men forcibly taken to prision by sharing his insightful views about law and state. What happened to a country that is complicit to such abuse? The Supreme Court cannot turn a blind eye to this matter, and it’s about time that we, as representatives of the Judiciary, make a statement against this, we have been lenient with this incivility for far too long”.

Finally, Justice Doupin made his regards: “By interpreting our Constitution, there is no margin for the government to meddle in private affairs, which, beyond any doubt, is an aspect of free speech. In that sense, all discourse regarding political, scientifical, artistic or overall opinative is simply beyond the State’s power to intervene. The government cannot, either directly or indirectly, elect which kind of discourse is acceptable and which isn’t. Either we hold this as truth or we give up our efforts to construct a truly free and democratic society”.

The Court’s Decisium draw a thick line regarding the government’s power to intervene in cases regarding free speech. Legal observators have expressed approval of the Supreme Court’s decision, indicating that it might usher a small cultural and academic boom in the country.

The prosecutors have decided not to make a statement.

And, in sports...

This year’s most expected event just took place in the city of Illyria. The final match of the Ligue Vieux, pitting the Isauria Sagittarius against La Pucelle, two of the greatest teams in the history of laedenian football.

Despite the Pucelle’s long history winning the championship, the Sagittarius made an extraordinary season this year, thanks, mostly, to its attacker, Bastien Droz, which is thought by many to be the most promising young player in modern laedenian history.

The match was fierce, as usual, which explained the chosen city to host it, Illyria, and not the home city of either clubs. Bastien scored two goals himself, the third one being scored by his fellow player Dominic Bassant.

Nevertheless, this wasn’t the centaurs’ day. Rolland Pastor, the famous captain and center midfield of La Pucelle decided to play in the offensive today, scoring a goal himself and participating in three others. More decisive than ever, the seasoned player is 41 years old, and while many wonder when will he retire, he showed today that he still got a lot of fire in him, ending the match with one of his iconic victorious roars that earned his nickname as “The Lion”.

Despite being beaten, the centaurs left the pitch applauded by their extraordinary sportsmanship and tenacity, with the Lion personally walking up to Bastien to exchange their shirts, a common sign of friendship and mutual respect. The final winner is, as usual, the football fans, who were delighted to watch such a match.

Prince Álvaro Reis pushes measures to reopen the Wapandian economy

[spoiler]With the terrible economical impact of the B-20 pandemic, Álvaro Reis issued state of emergency and an immediate lockdown, in hopes of slowing down the disease.

Now, as Prince Álvaro Reis presses to reopen the economy, some experts see an ominous risk: That a too-hasty relaxation of social distancing could ignite a resurgence of B-20 cases by fall, sending the economy back into lockdown.[/spoiler]

(took me a while, but here's the draft of all you need to know about Wapanda)

Hello again!

I just wanted to tell you about the success of PacificCon 2020! A wonderful cultural exchange between all five of our Feeder regions, Pacific Con saw everything from music to NS gameplay discussed. Pacific Con this year was incredibly successful and saw TSP take part in several fun competitions, such as Warzone PacificCon, against our fellow Pacific regions. Aside from the fantastic performances on the game, the South Pacific also showered PacificCon with fantastic musical artistry, with Seraph, Rabbitz, and Phoenixofthesun performing in excellent fashion. Could this be an annual event? Watch this space!

B-20 update!

RP (?)

It is tonight that the "Eternal Night Season" begins in Maxilains

(There are three seasons in Maxilains: the Cold Season, the Warm

Season and the Eternal Night Season). For the next 120 days, it

will be eternal night in Maxilains, abundant in unexplained phenomena

and terribly low temperatures reaching even -20 degrees Celsius.

Many conspiracy theorists claim that extraordinarily mass disappearances etc.

are caused by superhuman power as punishment, this theory is also supported

by Tengrian Priests and their followers, but the government denies these

rumors every year, claiming that people are simply lost in the dark.

In addition, according to Maxilainian doctors and specialists, B-20

relapses due to weakness of organisms at such low temperatures will be observed.

I'm not sure if this is realistic. I don't know if Maxilains is far enough north that such temperatures and eternal night (like the arctic) is realistic. Also, since hemispheres have not been defined, I'm not sure if it's summer of winter in Maxilains. It would likely be summer, because Map A would be located in the northern hemisphere if we even have hemispheres. Perhaps we could have an arctic circle, but that means the eternal night would be starting in 120 days.

All in all, when I look at my message now and your message,

I don't think it's realistic and I won't use it as a canon (?) Of Maxilains history

what is the URA?

Ayeinc wrote:The United Regions Alliance is a World Assembly UCR alliance. We, along with other regions, will vote together to approve proposals or vote For, Against, or abstain on proposals at vote. The URA also has multiple internal councils that focus on voting, WA drafts and proposals, creating and passing resolutions within the alliance, and changing alliance legislation. This alliance will give Thalassia is larger voice on the WA voting stage. This alliance will probably open the door to foreign relations with new regions and exciting cultural opportunities (The URA also has role-playing!).

I highly encourage everyone to vote for this. It is a Win-Win, for you and me. If you have any more questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to state them! Thank you!
