All I want for Christmas is diplomatic cooperation

By Helena Meier

[spoiler]

Ever since the Secretary for International Affairs has been reportedly visiting multiple nations in Thalassia, speculation has ran rampant about the purpose of these visits. That speculation was laid to rest when President Acosta released a statement announcing new diplomatic ties with Clarkstan and The Ausdonian Republic. The statement reads:

“Today we are announcing the deepening of our diplomatic relationships with Clarkstan and The Ausdonian Republic. After long deliberations we are able to open embassies in both nations and allow the establishment of embassies in Sonara’s government district. The embassy in Clarkstan will be located in Layton, while the Ausdonian embassy will be located in Calpurnia.”

Lydia Morgan, a spokesperson for the Secretary of International Affairs, further elaborated on the new embassies:

“The embassies are expected to open in early January 2020, following the appointment of their respective ambassadors as well as the holiday break. These diplomatic institutions will not only facilitate contacts between the nation’s governments, but assist Schiffians in their engagement with Clarkstan and The Ausdonian Republic

At the suggestion of an early Christmas present Mrs Morgan laughed: “One could see it that way, certainly.”

The nominees for both positions are expected to be announced at the end of the week, sources tell us. [/spoiler]

Congress has convened and decided that the ambassador to the United States of Shiff will be Oscar Scarr, a renowned Ausdonian diplomat, and that the ambassador to Cape Atoll will be Francine Nolan, a retired general known for her tactical mind. They have been approved by the president and will, hopefully, give our republic better relations with the two nations.

News articles about the new Ambassadors

Schiff welcomes first international diplomat

by Nora Porter

After a prolonged period of national adjustment, the United States Of Schiff recently reopened its doors to closer international cooperation. Only days after the new embassies were announced by President Acosta and the Department of International Affairs has President Gavric of Clarkstan announced their nation’s Ambassador to the United States Of Schiff, Jacob Peleg.

The freshly appointed Ambassador has reportedly already started to prepare for his journey to the new embassy on Main Street 210-213 in Central Sonara, a neighborhood commonly known as the government district. Not much is known about the man tasked with representing the huge nation. A career diplomat with a reputation as an intellectual, Peleg reportedly is of Jewish decent, something that may endear him to the large Jewish population of the United States Of Schiff, particularly in Wolfmarsh.

So far, Schiffians have reacted overwhelmingly positive to the new diplomatic relations, with a Wolfmarshall/University of South Estfeld poll showing 80% approval. President Acosta’s approval rating has also risen, with 75% approving of his job performance, a net gain of 6 points since November 17th. With the annual National Schiff Speech coming up on January 20th 2020, the President can claim a major accomplishment for his government.

New International Diplomats appointed, Acosta’s approval rating at 75%

by Daniel Fitzgerald Jr

The first new international ambassadors to be appointed in decades have been chosen. President Gavric of Clarkstan named Jacob Peleg, a career diplomat, while the The Ausdonian Republic Congress chose Oscar Scarr, a renowned diplomatic figure.

President Acosta expressed his appreciation for the speedy process of the appointments during a festive event held at the Government House in Sonara. Multiple Senior Officials have also indicated their positive view of the Ambassadors, with one Official stating “We are very pleased to see two career diplomats appointed at the new embassies.”

The swift progress on diplomatic relations has reflected favorably upon the President as his approval rating reaches 75% after nearly 3 years in office. Advisors to the President have indicated that he will mention his administration’s diplomatic accomplishments in the National Schiff Speech. [/spoiler]

Time(political TV Show),Planton City TV,Guest:Richard Carrington (Leader of Nationalist Party)

[spoiler]Good evening and welcome to Time.Our current guest is Nationalist Party leader Richard Carrington. Welcome to Planton City and our tv show.

Thank you for your welcome. I think it was time to come to the youngest clarkstanian city as leader of a parliamentary party.

Were you satisfied with your parliamentary activities in the previous period?

Yes, we have called a lot of useful laws for our country. They defend and develop our country at the same time.That is our program objective, so far we are doing everything according to our program that we presented in the previous parliamentary elections.We are now in coalition with the ruling party and our and their goals are quite similar.So now we are in a position to arrive at some of the solutions that are essential to our country faster and easier.

Do you think that the law on the abolition of dual citizenship will be adopted next week?

I think it will be, it will be difficult but it will be adopted.Everything could have been resolved last week had it not been for the spectacle made by the opposition.That was directed, it was a provocation that we sadly caught on to.I don't need to talk about the law because everything has been said since the opening address in the Federal House.And in the creation of the document we also participated where the arguments were presented.

Education laws have been passed and now recently about healthcare, there have been attacks from the outside, how do you comment on that?

We are not a banana republic and we don't intend to listen to others speak for the laws we make in our own country. We at the Conservative Alliance are sovereigns and respect others as long as ours is respected.Look, our students have been denied access to some colleges because of foreigners. They want free education like ours and have done nothing for this country.We have introduced the law that foreign students should pay just as foreigners should pay for health care.Mr. Gavric and I are lawyers he is even a PhD,he told me like this,,We humans are subjects of law, we have rights and obligations before our country. We fulfill our obligations and we have the right to education and healthcare.Foreigners do not do the first thing, which is an obligation. So they have no rights in our country,,.Valdar Islands received a warning from Gavric.If this happens again, they will be punished. There are three things they need to understand:

1.They have no legitimacy for telling another sovereign country what it should do.

2.It is an attack on sovereignty and an internal one.The one who says that it is not an attack it is the anti sovereign for the gold medal.

3.They need to know that a ruling party in the Valdar Islands with such a program would be sent into the political past if they want to be elected here.Because what they promote is not going through here.

Of course i want to thank President of Yaldia for support.

I'd like to move on to the questions of the viewers. We have the first viewer on the line ...please ?

Good evening to Mr. Carinngton. I would like to ask: What does the Nationalist Party think of the Harpfield case, thank you.

Yes, five days ago was the anniversary.20 years and of course this is a tragedy.The main mistake is that everything was taken over by the Federal Police and thus by the Federal Court.The Federal Police would be under the control of the Liberal Party.And everything should have gone to trial in Planton City.Then the case would be resolved.As for the court and the prosecution, it is true that they are elected by parliament.However, they come from their midst, the head of the court is from Davidovgrad while the head of the prosecution is from Weissenstadt.Both environments have their problems and this is a priority, but it shouldn't.But it will be resolved that is for sure, but in my opinion, the main culprits are those who, when the case happened, directed the police.

We have another viewer on the line….

Good evening, I'm a political science student. Regional parties have been formed under the names:Southern People's Party,Northern Alliance Group,Eastern Workers Movement,Clarkstanian Western Coalition.I want to hear your comment .

That's a very interesting question, all of these parties are regional and include one part of Clarkstan.All of these parties emphasize the over-investment in Layton and thus the excessive concentration of capital there.Of course, there is more to the bureaucracy than the Layton District government.Layton has too much money, but the population there is rather skeptical and thinks their salaries will be decrease.But this is not so, people should be made aware of it and explain that it will not affect their salaries.Now, all these parties have emerged for a reason, their main task is to get power or at least a sufficient number of MPs in the 2021 regional elections.All of these parties feel that something is either incomplete or not started. So commenting individually on their program would take time.

Mr Carrington thank you for being our guest and come again.

Thank you too, we will definitely see you again next year.[/spoiler]

Terrorist Attack in Williamsburg

Terrible news today in the city of Williamsburg. At 6:45 a.m. this morning explosives went off on Corvin Street and killed an estimated 26 civilians and injured 14. A terrorist group calling themselves "The New Ausdonian Empire" has taken credit for the attack, at this time we don't know what they wanted to accomplish with this attack, but the president has created an anti-terrorist organization to track down the NAE and bring them to justice for their deplorable actions. Let us pray that they don't strike again and that we all will stay safe.

A new victory for the Conservatives

[spoiler]In a referendum held today in the second largest city, she won the option to change name to Vasilevgrad.Turnout was 70%, analysts say the name change will not have any impact on the economic situation in the city. It was expected that there were 30% who did not express themselves.75.4% voted to change the name to Vasilevgrad,these are mostly representatives of the political right.While the political left was in favor of retaining the name Molotovgrad and there were 25.6% of them.

Mayor Artem Matafeev is a member of the People's Republican Party,,Christian Alliance,,is satisfied with the turnout for the referendum.The liberal part of the opposition is satisfied with the tolerance of the voters towards each other, while the left part is dissatisfied.The Communist Party believes that the referendum is politicized and has nothing to do with the citizens' initiative.,,Ever since the referendum was announced in October, it has been known that the name was backed by the entire Conservative Alliance.,,said Communist Party leader Andrey Stepanov ​.The newly formed Southern People's Party said that the choice of the majority should be supported whether we liked it or not.

Nations of Thalassia,

The Most Serene Republic of Kakios would like to bring to light the recent proposal to the World Assembly wherein all commercial vessels must comply with set equipment and procedural standards.

This is not beneficial to free trade as it would hold up commercial trade while crews are waiting to be approved by bureaucracy in local areas. This blockage could potentially back up for months at a time, or bring world free trade to a standstill.

For this reason, the Serene Doge would like to request support within Thalassia and our Delegate to vote NO on the regulation proposed at the World Assembly.

The newly formed anti-terrorist organization, The Ausdonian Anti-Terrorist Taskforce, has successfully raided a NAE hideout and captured 21 NAE agents that have been interrogated. They discovered that their goal is to reestablish the Great Ausdonian Empire that collapsed around 50 years ago. They have also found out that they have numerous hideouts throughout the Republic, from Williamsburg to Kelso. The taskforce is hard at work discovering these hideouts and putting their agents to justice, so let us hope that they will be successful and snuff them out before they become a major issue.

In place of my usual normally late culture announcement, I will be announcing my resignation from my position as Minister of Culture, effective immediately.

I did not want to do this, but I had to do this in light of recent events. I was recently put on trial in Lazarus for Espionage, which understandably caused a bit of a diplomatic nightmare for our Prime Minister, although I am unaware if any other government official was aware of what was going on. There may have been discussions about this with embassy regions, which I'm not aware of, so who knows how many Thalassians and friends know.

The trial occurred as a desperate attempt by a member of Warzone Europe tried to sign a NAP with The North Pacific, who was participating in the raid of an unknown Warzone. I will not be naming or shaming the person who shared my identity, although I will link the trial including evidence towards the end. My defence is listed there. I did not plea guilty in my defence, as I believe that my actions were justified despite the fact I knew it was likely illegal under Lazerene Law.

I have been left with no option, as the Prime Minister has informed me that he no longer trusts me, which while breaks me to state it, it is understandable despite the fact I attempted to reinforce the point that I did it to try and protect a community that I felt a part of, the greater Warzone Community. It also appears, that people are "displeased" with Thalassia, and that I have continued in my position here, which, while my view is that It's Thalassian business and it does not effect themselves or their regions, it appears as if the Prime Minister is concerned about what it could do to Thalassian Foreign Affairs. I will be remaining in the public discord and in the region, but my heart does indeed sink when I state that I have to resign from my position that I have poured time into.

Liruslau has been a fabulous Deputy, and Marit was amazing before him. I have loved my time in the government, under both Sho and Bad, but all good things come to an end.

This will serve as my letter of resignation in my position of the Minister of Culture,

Fair enough- honestly that’s pretty cool. I can appreciate a cool name like that, too. Isn’t your kings name Nolan, now that I think about it?

Two things, the new MoC is Liruslau! Toer and I both agreed he'd be best for the job, and I'm excited about what he brings to the table.

Also, question of the week! What book are you reading right now, what do you enjoy about it?

On the book topic:

I’m reading two books at the moment,

The Testament by John Grisham and The Mueller Report presented by the Washington Post.

About the first:

Unique perspective switches and an interesting plot so far.

The second:

Very educational, but also quite long.

Upcoming NAE Attack

[spoiler]

Thanks to intelligence that was gained from previous interrogations of NAE agents it would appear that there is a large force forming in the northeast region of the Republic near the city of Kelso. We have evacuated most of the civilians and helped the New United States 0F America in fortifying the city for when the NAE force attacks, we believe that their force is made up from about 4,000 NAE soldiers and a small amount of artillery as well as shells to bombard the city. The attack is suspected to happen in the next few hours or on the next day, so we must be ready to protect the city because if we don't the NAE will gain a substantial foothold and would become more difficult to eliminate as a threat.

The NAE movement is a substantial threat to the stability the the Thalassia region. While we are unable to provide military support, The Most Serene Republic of Kakios has dispatched foreign aid workers bringing medical experience and food supplies to the Ausdonian Republic to assist with relief efforts and on the spot medical aid for any casualties that may arise in the fighting. If the Ausdonian Republic will accept, Kakios stands ready to assist in reconstruction efforts and humanitarian aid.

Ayeinc, a self-proclaimed "Typical Thalassian™" nation, reaches out to the international community to join the Typical Thalassian™ trend. In a statement made by Malin Dofei, the current prime minister, reads "Typical Thalassian™ nations are coalition made of peoples that align and agree with Thalassia's values and beliefs. This coalition is in the making with the assistance of our ally, The Typical Thalassian PM of Badivermeraed. I hope every Thalassian nation considers the possibility of joining the coalition."
