Hey, guys! The Ministry of Culture is currently recruiting. We're very understaffed, and as such, it's been difficult for us to complete some major projects, such as a reform of the RP Rewards system. As the Minister of Culture, I'm accepting pretty much anyone who's willing to actively participate in discussion, who's an experienced or active role player, and/or who has experience in graphical design and other things of the sort. If you're someone who's interested in taking on civil service but who doesn't want a stressful job that takes up too much of their free time, I highly recommend you send me a telegram to join the Ministry of Culture. Being a worker in the MoC is a fun and fairly easy job that can help out a lot. It's a great experience and something anyone can get into (yes, even an NS newbie!). So send me that telegram and try it out!

(PS: Having a Discord account is a requirement for joining. Most of our work is done on the government Discord server, so if you're going to apply, have a Discord account ready to join the government server.)

On the set of Arenado News At Nine with Clint Black and Troy Atkins.

"....and that wraps up our coverage of the Prime Minister's speech. In other news, Baseball is back, Arenado! Our very own Arenado Kings, part of the Regional League, will be playing Inter-League games with the Zylan Zingers and the Pigfordshire Terriers on the road! Are you excited, Troy?"

"Sure am, Clint! The Kings will be playing a two game series at The Ion Center in Zentata followed by another two game series against the Terriers in Kenilworth Road. When asked for a statement, manager of the Kings Larry Bichette said, quote 'We are confident in our team, it will be quite a challenge to start the season on the road but our guys are good and I'm sure we will be scoring lots of runs.' Bold words, let's see how the Kings do on the road!"

So I just became capitalist again, which ruins part of my election RP, but oh well, I've always been capitalist right?! ;) Just like I've always been at war with Eastasia!

RP

[spoiler=ZNN News-Elections]

Wilbur Ross: Welcome back to ZNN News, I'm joined today by Ryan Johnson, as we give you our coverage of the minor parties that are running in the upcoming election in June.

Ryan:We'll start with the Torus Party, the center-right party that has failed to ever gain more than 100 seats in the 1980 election, and has not produced anything or anyone memorable since than either.

Wilbur: Their current candidate is Tracey Brant, who has been trying to gain recognition, but has been trending low in the polls.

Ryan: She has been campaigning across the country, trying to steal voters primarily from the conservatives.

Wilbur: Some key elements to her platform include easing regulations, preserving traditional industries, and cutting down on taxes.

Ryan: She is trying to pitch herself as a less extreme version of the conservatives or the ZNP, and has been launching attacks on just about everybody, trying to make herself seem like the sane choice. She's highlighting her 30 years of experience in the two houses on the trail and her battle with cancer as she travels through Zentata.

Wilbur: The Torus Party has rallied itself around her, with noone even running agiainst her in their primaries, and funding reaching a all time high

Ryan: Here is a short clip from a question and answer session on ZNN Radio 10:

--ZNN Radio 10 Music--

Host:Welcome back to ZNN Radio 10's interview minutes, today we will be interviewing Tracey Brant, the Torus Party's candidate for president.

Tracey: Thank you very much, I'm glad to be here!

Host: I'll start off by asking you this: How do you plan to win this election?

Tracey: Sadly I don't know if I can. But I want to become a fighting force in this parlement, but it is not possible for me to win. I will focus on getting as much clout as possible, so that we can change Zentata for the better, even if we cannot get the majority. I will become a force for Zentata by pushing our agenda, the agenda that will transform our economy for the better, and much more.

Host:Well, then. Why do you feel as though you have what it takes to be president?

Tracey: I was born into a poor family, and I have therfore suffered thourgh what most Zentians have at one point. I know what it is like to have high health bills, because I had cancer, I know what it is like to be on welfare, and to fail. I will lift up Zentata and I will bring it into a better government, and a better world. I've been doing it for 30 years, and I'll keep doing it!

Host:You've said that Zentata "Can't be a pacifist puppy anymore", can you explain why?

Tracey: Well, I'm suprised it isn't obvious! We have been silent for too long, and we need to start changing this world for the better, and in order for that to happen we need to get out there and get dirty. We need to support our interests, instead of just sitting here and humming away like puppies who don't know how this world works! I will get involved in Ozovia, I will start putting trade tariffs on those who defy us. I will make our foreign policy a real policy!

---ZNN News Music Plays---

Wilbur: There she was, Tracey Brant of the Torus Party.

Ryan: One thing that we did not get to hear in that interview was her opinion about the environment, which Zentians say is one of the most important issues in this election.

Wilbur: Mrs Brant has been quiet on the subject, but is more of a moderate about it, and aligns closely with the royalist party's views.

Ryan: That's all for today, now on to the daily news segment.

----ZNN News Music Plays----

Wilbur: Hello there Zentata, we are back with the news of the day.

A landslide in the mountains has blocked off Interstate 8, and just missed the town of Handoler. There were no casualties, but traffic will be stopped for a bit.

A theft from the Zylan National Museum stole around 200,000 Z$ worth of art, including "The Man Without a Umbrella". The police have announced a investigation, but no suspects have yet been announced.

Two Conservative Party members crossed over to the ZNP today, which has just announced their candidate, Dylan Scryer, who has called the current president a "donkey in man's clothing".

The Zylan Zingers, Zentata's National Baseball Team, will start off their season with a game against the Arenado Kings. Lets go Zingers!

Wilbur: Thank you for watching, and we will be back with the rest of the news after this short commercial break.

Was gonna break this on Friday, but with the scores released, I figured I might as well. It's time for

[spoiler=Another Public Broadcast from Radio Zeneslav English] - And with that last comment, it is half past 1 in the quaint yet bustling city of Cśevàljsk and that can only mean one thing: It's time for the news!

- «Radio Zeneslav News theme plays»

Radio Zeneslav News, English

- The Minister of Transport has been asked to resign following a rant against motorists

- Zeneslav's baseball team wins their first week of play, fans are delighted

- Government plans to roll out language reforms, says the grammar is too confusing.

NA POLJTJKAŚ

- The Minister of Transport, Dźosef Vadjmjèv has been asked to resign from office today following backlash from a rant against motorists that was accidentally broadcast after yesterday's Parliamentary Assembly. In the rant, which was heard by millions around the country, the minister bashed motorists extensively, threw profanities, threatened to raise the price of road tolls, and pushed for a ban of cars. Minister Vadjmjèv apologised publicly and stated that his outburst was the result of a broken microphone and unreleased anger from his son's own automobile accident earlier this month. The Prime Minister says that still doesn't excuse his actions.

- "The actions made by our minister today were not actions a minister should take. [Vadjmjèv's] words were inappropriate, and unbecoming. He has no place in our parliament."

- The Prime Minister told spectators that the parliament won't be raising road tolls or banning cars, and that it needs the motorway systems to stimulate and develop the country's economy. Magnus, Zeneslav's top lorry manufacturer, also has no plans to quit, and said they'll be rolling out their latest "Vadjm trim" on their Nordstar, Unity, and T1200 models in a few weeks.

NA SPÒRTAŚ

- The Zeneslav National Baseball Team has been on a roll this week abroad in multiple games. The team has traveled to different nations throughout the Thalassia region, dragging their spirit and their fans with them. Veylar Field in Veaetmar's capital of Upper Holte was flooded with Zeneslav's fans, flags, and chants. First Baseman Hù Ljdòng told us today.

- It was amazing. No matter where we went, the air was electric, the teams were amazing, and we all had a great time. The battle cries were the best part, I think.

- Team manager Bòrjs Zagrajèv also told RZE:

- I think as the team became more confident, they became more into it. When we started winning, they started smiling, the chants and battle cries became more elaborate, the ball travelled faster than it ever could. But of course, we couldn't have done it without the support of our fans.

- Bòrjs predicts more wins for the team in the weeks to come. The fans can't get enough.

NA JÀŹJKA

- The Ministry of Culture is calling for a reform of the national language to be rolled out slowly in the coming weeks. The reforms, including a streamline of the adjectives, better verb conjugations, and a tentative inclusion of a gender system, is all intended to make the language easier and better to read and speak. The ministry hopes its language revisions can be pushed out fully, including changing road signs and text on buildings. It hopes to roll out changes starting tomorrow.

- That's all for the news today, stay tuned for exclusive interviews from RZ1 with up and coming pop singer Mjkhajel, who's been out lately travelling with the baseball team. Coming up after the break, on Radio Zeneslav English.

- So you've lost your vision. Don't lose your style. At GlassStars Cśevaljsk, we have tons of frames, tons of colours, tons of options. We'll match a pair to your personality guaranteed. We even specialize in contact solutions. One man, one match, at GlassStars Cśevaljsk.[/spoiler]

Even though the games are hectic and our fans are electric, we do wish a fun and respectful rest of the season to all of Zeneslav's opponents.

On location at The Ion Center, SportsTalk! with Garrett Jimenez and Charlie Dahl covering the opening game for the Arenado Kings

"It's the top of the 9th Inning here at the Ion Center, score is 5-4 with 2 outs, Ed Danforth at the plate with runners at the corners, count is 3-2. What do you think, Charlie?"

"Well, Ed is a power hitter and he loves a 3-2 count, a real hitters count, I'm sure he's looking for something he can drive into the corner and tie this game up. He's not had much success at the plate so far, striking out twice and hitting a double play ball, so I'm sure he's looking for some redemption here."

"Quite so, Charlie, but you also need to consider he's got Desmond Richards on first and Desmond has real legs on the bases, if Danforth gets a double here Desmond may well come all the way home and give the Kings the lead."

"Quite right, Garrett. And now here come the pitch and Danforth drives it to left! Going back and ITS GONE! A THREE RUN HOME RUN IN THE NINTH THE GIVE THE KINGS THE LEAD! Wow, what an amazing way to get a first hit for the season, a three run blast to left to give your team the lead!"

The Kings would go on to win the game 5-7, sending out Miroslav Coorta who pitched a one-two-three out inning to earn his first save of the Season. Billy Valentine, the Starting Pitcher for the Kings, pitched 7 innings and gave up 5 runs. Rick Gertzman pitched two innings out of the bullpen, giving up one hit and earning the win.

The sounds of static can be heard coming from a small transistor radio on the counter of a 50s era malt shop.

Amidst the noise of the crowded shake bar, someone demands sports radio and is answered with general cries of agreement. The waitress sighs before finally agreeing and turning the dial.

"... and thanks for tuning in to WREKT, your local sports radio and talk station. As always, delivering you the latest, greatest, and not so great sports news and Mizeri sports updates. Speaking of not so great, Mizeri Pretty Girls' Manager Olivia Gordon expressed her disappointment in the baseball team's inaugural series of the 2020 season against the Time da B's.

'It's not ideal, you know, coming out of the gates with a losing record. I believe there was a lot of information gathered over the series, which is vital, and we will be utilizing said information to better plan the next few outings and hope to come out successful. It's clear that there are some early issues with taking advantage of scoring opportunities, and a few hiccups to work out in the bullpen.'

“The first thing we’re doing is not panicking. The Barons have two losses and I don’t think they are panicking, a lot can change in a week in this league.”

But in two games the Highwaymen clocked up just four total runs, with Eder Adam accounting for two of the four. Fans have already started calling for more firepower to take some of the pressure off Adam.

“We are looking at this things scientifically, trying to identify the specifics of what has held us back in those two games. That’s how we adjust. And that is how we explain and understand the important things that for one reason or another, didn’t fall into place this week”

Asked if the Highwaymen are looking outside their building for solutions, Marquette was reluctant to look in that direction:

”Look, that would be a great magic bullet for me as a coach. Make a splash in the trade market and fix all our problems. But I wouldn’t be doing my job if I were advocating for that as a solution. We have a good group and it’s our job as coaches to mould them into a winning unit.”

Devan Maclin, Reporting from the ION Center's Zentatan National Stadium.

Devan: "It is a windy day out here in the Stadium where the Zingers scored a win against the Badi Beaks. After scoring numerous tight losses against the Kings and the Beaks, we pulled of a win! It was a tight game, and no one could tell who was going to win, except for the fans, of course. I'm here with their manager, Bruno Margoloto, to ask him a few questions.

Devan: With the recent losses, how do you plan to keep up morale and come back?

Bruno: Well, Devan, the way we are going to win, is by doing what we always do. We try our best, and I make sure that our best is always better, that we fight, and that we are always improving.

Devan: Sounds good. How do you think the competition looks?

Bruno: There's a bunch of really good teams out there, but no one that at this stage in the game seems to really be made of gold. Our games were tough, but we WILL come back tougher, like every other time.

Devan: Thank you very much!

OOC: I can't wait for the next week of baseball. Good luck to all because you are going to need it!

On the set of Arenado News at Nine with Clint Black and Troy Atkins

"....now that's what I call a roaring good time at the zoo! In other news, baseball has gripped the nation! Our very own Arenado Kings have had a good start to the season, winning 3 out of 4 games on the road!"

"Exactly, Clint, and manager Larry Bichette was confident that the team could continue their winning ways despite an injury for First Baseman Arthur Perry after being hit in the hand by a pitch. The team doctor said his hand is fine with no signs of a fracture but he will be on the bench for a couple of games. Let's hope backup Catcher Peter Eaton, who will replace Perry at First Base until he returns, will be able to replicate Perry's success at the plate."

"Exactly, Troy, I know the Kings will miss Perry's .263 batting average but it will give Eaton a chance to shine, his average of .178 was really disappointing last season and I know he is hoping for a bounce back year."

"Well, we will see, Clint, how Eaton does at First Base with the Kings continuing to play on the road in more inter-league games with their next opponents being the Manafoa Matas, the Badi Beaks and the Red Storm Leningrad."

"Kings Vs Leningrad, quite a match, hahaha."

"Hahaha, quite so. And now a word from our sponsor...."

Joshua Nelson (ANNN sports correspondent): Thanks guys, I am here just outside of Globetrotter Park in Aswana where the Afirkstan Nomads will take the field in their first home games of the seasons. Tickets have been sold out for weeks for the back to back two-game series this week. Downtown Aswana has come to life in the past few days in preparation for the games. The Nomads, opening the season at 2-2 have much improvement to do, yet the fan-base as well as the team itself are extremely hopeful for this season. Back to you Timothy...

Timothy Edwards: Thanks Joshua, earlier today, Manager of the Afirkstan Nomads, Ben Labanowski held a press conference. Let's take a look at what he had to say..."

Cuts to video clip of press conference

Reporter: What are your expectations for this week's home opener series?

Ben Labanowski: Well our fans are passionate; our fans are hopeful; our fans are ready; and so are we, the team. We're passionate about winning; we're hopeful and we're ready for this home opener. It's just the beginning of the season, so I am not trying to create expectations that are too high. We have lots of work to do and a long season ahead of us. No matter the outcome of this week's games, hopefully we can put on a show for the fans and come away with some things to improve on."

After disappointing losses against the Ban-Ur Batters, the Whistling Peaches hope to give a better performance against the Afirkstan Nomads. Milo Parsley, a first baseman, remarked that although things haven't been going well for the team - it has been exciting knowing they were going to travel and play their favourite sport against worthy adversaries.

A Taklamakan sports reporter, Edwin García, had the chance to catch up with the Insula Barons manager Matt Carpenter:

García: Coach, your team has a winning record for the first time in franchise history, how does it feel?

Carpenter: It feels great, ya know? We were a [redacted] joke of a team last year, posting a 7% win percentage last season. You know how that feels? It [redacted] sucks! We were the laughingstock of the league last year. I told my guys we’ll turn it around this year. And so far we have. We’re on a win streak right now. A 4 game win streak. You know we’ve never won consecutive games before, right? The fans deserve better. They’ve never had anything to root for before. I really want to give them something respectable to root for.

García: The GM talked about sustained success and how he’s building this team for sustained success. Do you think this team can do that?

Carpenter: Absolutely. Our top 4 hitters this season are all rookies. Our top 2 pitchers are also rookies. My point is that this team is very young and our big talent isn’t going away anytime soon. But, we’re going on a long road trip now, and that can be tough on these kids. We’ll see just how sustainable our success is when we play 10 consecutive games on the road.

García: Good luck coach.

Carpenter: Thank you.

Following last week's disappointing performance against the Ban-Ur Batters, the Whistling Peaches manage to secure a win against the Afirkstan Nomads, two against the Entigian Slands, and two against the Cat City Clawzz. The whole team is currently celebrating and receiving messages from their fans from all over the region. Daphne Mangosteen, the team's best outfielder, has even been approached by Harriet Warren (Grasswhistle's Tourism Minister) to star in advertisements that will showcase Grasswhistle's many attractions.
