"There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter." - Ernest Hemingway Finest Hour: The Great Nuran War The year is 1341, and a great tension can be felt throughout Nur. The Kalmachian Empire, a feared hegemon on the continent, rules its colonial territories with great determination. Its rule extends from the Imperial capital of Easthaven, all the way South to the Qyrene Gulf, and from the rolling Ionian hills in the West to the rocky cliffs of Ostronia in the east. Its power is vast, its people loyal, and yet there is a palpable tension, an air of unease, in the Nuran air. The 1340s stand as a time of revolution and reform, of blood and iron, where young men and women agitate for independence in the city of Astenburg, frigates under the imperial banner conduct drills in the Sideric seas, and factory workers toil in eastern factories, producing as many tanks as their country demands of them. (...) Welcome to Finest Hour: The Great Nuran War! In this RP, we'll simulate the rocky 1340s in Nur, where a period of anti-imperial sentiment and Kalmachian repression plunged the continent into a destructive war that raged for half a decade. In this RP, we'll start in the year 1341, the year in which members of the INLF, the Ionian National Liberation Front, declare unilateral independence from Kalmach. The war will be fought between two opposing camps, those being: The Astenburg Entente: Named after the Ionian capital of Astenburg, the Astenburg entente refers to a loose coalition of anti-Kalmachian powers who are intent on destroying Kalmachian supremacy over Nur. The two leading powers of the coalition are the Grand Republic of Ionia, whose unilateral declaration of independence was intended to be the first domino that would lead to the collapse of the Kalmachian empire, as well as the Kherate of Inseberistan, whose dissatisfaction with the Kalmachian colonial authorities in the neighbouring Ostronia make for some serious border frictions between them. The Imperial Concordat: Refers to the loose confederation of states that are either part of the larger Kalmachian empire, such as its loyal colonies in Qyr and Ostronia, but also to countries that chose to establish deeper ties to Kalmachia because of strategic considerations of rivalries with anti-Kalmachian states and organisations. Navigate your country through the tumultuous 1340s, where technological innovations make the horrors of war more terrible than ever-imagined, totalitarian ideologies consume the public's imagination and bellicose governments come knocking for recognition and support. As with any good roleplay, we'll need some... RULES 1. The TWP RP Guidance on Session Zero is to be observed at all times. 2. To not derail a conflict that is supposed to have been fought primarily in Nur, The right to declare and fight 'open' war is reserved to Nuran countries. Non-Nuran states can freely participate through other means, such as: - Volunteer Forces and Mercenaries - Embargoes and Investments - Humanitarian Missions - Media coverage - Covert Operations Et cetera. 3. This thread is strictly IC-only. Any OOC questions, suggestions or remarks should be made in the TWP Roleplay Server. 4. Players are asked to supply every post with an IC date. 5. Nuran nations are asked to give a broad overview of their country in the 1340s in their first post. 6. Godmodding and metagaming are prohibited. 7. Having fun is a mandatory requirement to playing in this RP. All participants that aren't having fun will be rounded up and summarily executed. TIME PROGRESSION Countries get a lot of discretion about how they'd like to work with our very flexible chronology. We would like to give countries the space and time to write out whatever stories they want to explore, whilst also maintaining a pace that's enjoyable for the rest of the players participating. The only quantifiable rule about pacing is that chronology must be linear: A country cannot suddenly go back in time and change its behaviour or decisions. Other than that, the aim is to come together and create a fun and engaging story for everybody; the leniency specific countries get with their timing isn't supposed to be exploited, and if any troubles do come up further down the road, we'll solve them together. The RP starts in January 1341, and time will slowly go on and on until we reach the end of this RP, which is set to be around 1345 / 1346. The speed of this RP will be decided by the players, and said players are encouraged to make it so that maintain chronological cohesion. Chronological differences between one post and the next may absolutely exist: if one part of the front is quiet and players want to progress to the next month, they shouldn't be held up by players on another front. However, we ask that discrepancies between timelines are kept to a minimum. In this regard, a balance between playability and orderly, cohesive storytelling should be found. MAP A map showcasing the different belligerents in this war is TBD. FAQ Any inquiries about the conflict or its background can be asked in the TWP Roleplay Discord server. All countries in Esforos are free and encouraged to join and contribute to the story at large. Special thanks to Inseberistan, Ostronia, Ionia and Kalmach for helping me with this war. They are my CO-OPs.

Varia borders the nation of Novasemita to the west, Novia Xeneia to the south, and the Thulian Ocean to the north. Varia covers a total area of 504,410 km2 (194,754 sq mi), and has a population of 13.5 million. Oltva is the capital city where the Commonwealth Government is based, while Verengard is the largest city by population and the financial centre of the nation. Varia is a multicultural nation, with no single ethnicity gaining a majority over the total amount of population. Despite this, Oltvan is considered to be its official language and serves as the lingua franca, being spoken by 32 percent of the population as their mother tongue. Varia’s climate is predominantly cold, with only a small area of warmer continental climate in the southern regions. Prehistoric human activity on Varian soil dates to around 10,000 BF, and the region has been continuously populated ever since. The territory of Varia has been multicultural, hosting different migratory people from time to time. The first of modern-day Varian ethnicities that inhabited the region is the Livans people, who settled on the very southern edge of the region in around 4,000 BF. The Severnians and Polosnians eventually invaded the region and pushed the Livans northward toward the Dalekie Mountains in around 2,100 BF and settled in the south. The Oltvan Great Voyage of the 3rd century saw several waves of Oltvan invaders defeating the former inhabitants and claiming much of modern-day Varian territory, bringing with them the Borealist faith. The Aurora Wars dominated the 4th century history of Varia, and The Kingdom of Oltva eventually emerged by the 5th century after King Vyacheslav united all factions of the Oltvan invaders. Between the 5th to the 9th century, Oltva expanded slowly over the other petty kingdoms of the Polosnians and the Severnians. However, a succession crisis and a state of anarchy ended the Golden Age of Oltva in 821 AF when the city of Oltva was sacked. The Eight Nations period lasted until the 12th century, filled with continuous wars while the region entered the age of enlightenment. Eventually, the Polosnian Queen Wyszesława completed a series of Polosnian expansions and united the eight Kingdoms under the Union of Varia in 1192. Varia remained a largely agrarian nation until the Varian Student’s Coup of 1291 forced the monarchy to agree on the Eight Nations Treaty of 1291, giving the minorities of Varia more rights, ending serfdom and bringing industrialisation to Varia. The new regime was soon dominated by wealthy aristocrats and industrialists, and the massive wealth gap triggered the 1321 General Strike and the end of the Monarchy. The newly proclaimed Commonwealth of Varia was unstable, however, and political disagreements led to the First Varian Civil War in 1324-1332 which ended with the dictatorship of Sviatopolk Ziminsky (1332-1351) and Yevgeniya Tavon (1351-1376). A state of anarchy enveloped Varia between 1376 until 1404 with the victory of the Varian Restoration Authority under Wojciech Kaminski. In 1408, constitutional reforms were implemented, but the Restoration Authority remained dominant over Varia to this day. Varia is a semi-presidential republic with its bicameral legislature comprising the Commonwealth Assembly and the States Assembly. Varia is considered a middling power and has a developing market with an upper-middle income economy. Varia has the fifth largest economy by total GDP and GDP per capita in Doll-Guldur, and its citizens enjoy average standard of living, and safety. Varia has a mixed-approach economic system, with both the government and private corporation contributing significantly to the economy as a whole. The state of Varia provides free education up to secondary education and universal health care coverage, though these services still lacking in terms of quantity and quality. Varia boasted hundreds of protected national parks and endangered habitats, and thousands of historic landmarks, supporting its developing tourism industry. Etymology The name Varia is an old Oltvan word that literally means "Various". The name was a shortening of the Union of Varian Crowns (Oltvan: Soyuz Varianskikh Koron), the name of the polity established by Queen Wyszesława in 1192. The name remained as the official name of the Commonwealth of Varia following the General Strike of 1321, in order to represent the various ethnicities and the multiculturalist values of the Commonwealth. There were attempts at renaming the Commonwealth, predominantly due to the name being very much descriptive in Oltvan. One such attempt was done by President Sviatopolk Ziminsky in 1333, into the Commonwealth of Polosnia, reminiscent of his own homeland. This attempt triggered a widespread protests across the country, which stopped the movement from ever going forward. Another attempt to rename it was in 1407, when several members of the Commonwealth Assembly argued to adopt the name of Commonwealth of the North (Oltvan : Severnoye Sodruzhestvo) or even the Polar Commonwealth (Oltvan : Polyarnoye Sodruzhestvo) but both did not receive widepsread support, the former due to its ambiguity, and the latter due to the fact that Varia was not located in the Continent of Polaris. Geographical Conditions Varia is located in the northern coasts of the continent Doll-Guldur. Geographically, it is located between 1°30'30" East - 8°10'10"East and 50°40'10"North - 59°10'10" North and is very near with the Meridian of Marcarius. Varia is bordered by two other states; the nation of Novasamita to the west and southwest and the nation of Novia Xeneia to the south. To the north, Varia is bounded by the Thulian Ocean, specifically the Proxima Thulia Sea. Varian territory is relatively flat but rugged, similar to the make-up of the majority of Doll-Guldur's landscape. The region is marked by lowlands on its extreme north and south, separated by highlands and the Dalekie Mountains in the middle. The highest point in Varia is Mount Północna, literally means "Mount North" due to the view of the Northern Stars from it's peak. Varia is located near the divergent boundaries of Doll-Guldur's two tectonic plates to the south of Varia. The divergent motion of the tectonic plates caused the formation of rift valleys in the south and a tectonically active region that oftentimes creates earthquakes. Due to the extremity of its northward location, Varia experienced high temperature variation between seasons. Temperature can fall to below -30° C in the northernmost point during winter, while in the south, in can reach 28 to 30° C in summer. The variation of temperature is caused due to climatic difference between the north and the south of Varia. South of the Dalekie Mountains, rain shadow effect caused the region to receive higher rainfall and is generally warmer, while north of the Mountains, the region is more colder and arid. Due to this, huge amount of Varia's territory is covered with Taiga Forests, with only a small and much more humid continental climate to the very southern point of the nation. Due to this phenomenon, the vast majority (78%) of Varia's population reside to the south of the Dalekie Mountains, while the north is mostly desolate with minor settlements near bodies of water and navigable rivers. Socio-Political Conditions Varia is a multiethnic state, composed of the Eight Nations of the Commonwealth, and multitudes of smaller indigenous people. These Eight Nations are, in order of population, Oltvina, Polosna, Sodnia, Severnia, Belina, Ineria, Livania, and Yashelia. Each of these nations has their own language, and unique traditions and values. Throughout Varia's history, these nations has been at war with each other, united and reunited multiple times, ultimately leading to the formation of the Union of Varian Crowns in 1192. Ever since, the Eight Nations has been living under a single state, and cultural mix was unavoidable. From new foods, to clothing, and even new dialects were established by inter-cultural mixing that happened under the Union, and later the Commonwealth. Varia today is a federalised semi-presidential republic, and put heavy importance on the sovereign authority of its member states. None of Varia's member states are elevated above the other, with the exception of the imposition of the Oltvan Language for the sake of convenience. Cultural and traditional values were protected from harm, and each states will negotiate as if they are different nations in settling disputes. With years of intermingling and government emphasis on multiculturalism, a new cosmopolitan group emerged from Varia's diversity, the so-called New Varians, who does not indetify from any of the Eight Nations, instead wholeheartedly embrace the plurality of Varia as a multiethnic state. These people dominates the urban landscape of Varia, and has only grown in number with passing time. The more conservative member of society viewed the New Varians with mild suspicion, fearing a dilution of their cultural heritage. Nevertheless, the Varian Restoration Authority under President Wojciech Kaminski remained committed to the unity and cohesion of the Commonwealth.

Its strategic location at the crossroads of maritime routes made the country a crucial point for the trade of spices, precious metals, and various goods. Del Sol, the capital, emerged as one of the largest port centers in the region, attracting merchants, immigrants, and explorers from various parts of the world, which shaped its cultural and demographic identity over the centuries. Térassic Estates gained independence after a series of peaceful revolts led by local merchants, dockworkers, and small farmers. The declaration of independence marked the end of colonial control and the beginning of a period of political and economic reorganization.

More about Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau (Tombeau University Hospital) Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau was founded in 1235 by Marcelle Fullo Tombeau, a wealthy physician in the then northern territories controlled by the national government. Tombeau was a military doctor, who saw that many settlers didn’t have proper medical care, and had to beg army physicians for surgeries. Marcelle Fullo Tombeau, painted by Henri Van Slyck, 1256 Tombeau created HUT in a two room brick walled wine press building. HUT was initially called l'Hôpital du Pauvre Voyageur. Funding was tight, and came from donations from friends, and donors who would mail donations through word of mouth, or almanac advertisements. Medical care was free, or extremely discounted (sometimes called penny exams). The Original HUT building found in 1386, before it was restored as a historical site A vicious winter in 1248 left many people injured, and the free medical care provided by HUT drew the attention of the committees forming the state of Mare de Sang. HUT gained a state charter in 1250, and has been a state funded medical institution ever since. The teaching function of the hospital began in 1255. It began to take in students, have a curriculum, and certify physicians. the modern HUT campus in the heart of Ruisseau Rouge To date HUT handles the highest volume of severe illness cases in the northern region. HUT has a full service burn-unit, intensive care unit, and epidemiology unit, among other specialty services. HUT’s 9000 staff, students, visiting physicians, and affiliated out-patient specialists play a major role in the overall health of the northern region. OOC: Official event begins Nov.3, stay tuned for updates

Nalibia will be hosting a Royal Ball Event. It will be a one day event, hosted in Cyro the capital city of Sheva Province in Nalibia of Nur. The event historically has been used by Nalibians as a way for young Princes, Princesses, Lord, Ladies and Nobles to meet and possibly form long-term relationships that eventually lead to courtships and ultimately marriage. But recently individuals from other nations have been invited and have attended, showing off their nation's (or personal/family) prestige, wealth, and/or statues. Ultimately "Titles" do not matter. As it is about celebrity, statues. pedigree and wealth. And maybe a family/personal ambition to marry into royalty or wealth. The person does not have to have been rich their whole life to attend... They simply have to be rich or well established now. lol How to: The event would be handled like a red carpet event where you would talk about the fashion of the attendees (think Vanity Fair at the Grammys) and give a brief history of their family and/or the achievements of the individual if any. All nations that attend would participate by sending at least one male and female for you to talk about, with a picture of them at the event. The attendee could be anyone in their teens or early twenties that are rich/elite. They would be the sons or daughters of, if not they themselves "important" (rich cough) people. Imagine that the ticket price is too high for anyone but the wealthy or well connected to attend. Imagine a young Paris Hilton (because her family wealth and name), or a young Prince Henry (because his family's royal statues), or the Bush twins when their dad was president (because their parent is/was head of state), or even a young Reese Witherspoon or Taylor Swift (because her own celebrity and personal wealth) attending a Grand Red Carpet Event. Rules: The person attending the function must be between the ages of 12 and 25. The person attending the function must either be someone of statues them self, or be the child of someone with status. (Celebrity, CEO, Politician, Ruler/Head of State, Royalty, High Ranking Officer, ect.) If you take part in an event; you must make a male and female attendee for that event. Feel free to make as many people as you want for each event. If you RP your attendee interacting with someone from another nation be respectful. Have fun and be creative! (If you know of other AI generators, or better prompts, phrases, keywords, formats, etc; please feel free to DM me so I can share it.) The two AI image creators I use are https://www.bing.com/images/create?FORM=GENILP : It is free to use and no limit on the amount of images you can make. It makes very good images of both people and objects... However it is very strict. Words like "curvy" can lead to images being flagged or blocked as "sexually explicit", which can be frustrating. Which leads me to, https://perchance.org/free-nsfw-ai-generator : It is also free with no limit on the amount of images you can make. However, I feel like the images are of slightly lesser quality than Bing, and images are less detailed and mess up more often. The perk of this AI generator is that words are not blocked. The draw back however is that it is more likely to make people nude so you have to keep generating or change keywords to get the desired results. Prompts I used to make examples: Beautiful African princess in her early teens walking on a red carpet into a palace, wearing a culturally inspired formal dress and shoes, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ancient Israel, styled hair, late evening, view full-body, red carpet event, shoes, paparazzi, Bing left/top | perchance right/bottom (removed Paparazzi to get better results) Handsome African prince in his early teens walking on a red carpet into a palace, wearing culturally inspired formal attire and shoes, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ancient Israel, late evening, view full-body, red carpet event, shoes, paparazzi, Bing left/top | perchance right/bottom (removed Paparazzi and specified pants to get better results) African lord and lady in their early teens dancing in a ballroom, wearing culturally inspired formal attire and shoes, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Morocco, Ancient Israel, hair style, late evening, view full-body, ball, gala, shoes, paparazzi, Bing left/top | perchance right/bottom Tip to help those with a character they wish to appear at more than one event of the Royal ball... Example, 1) you make a character you really like. This character is at the Red Carpet event, but I would also like to show her at/in the ballroom... 2) Us a background remover like https://www.remove.bg/ (it is free to use), to remove the background. 3) Generate a room yourself or use a background that I will provide Monday. 4) Use a website like https://www.canva.com/ (it is free to use), to then put both pictures together. 5) Final, Use the picture your done. lol (If anyone knows a better way, I am all ears...) The Events Tea Ceremony - Noon (Eastern time) This event will start at noon with the theme being cultural desserts and treats. Post a picture of the person in a tea room holding, eating, drinking or near the food item. Talk about the item's cultural significance to your nation, and who the person in the image is as well as what they are thinking in the moment. Red Carpet - 4pm (Eastern time) This event will start at 4pm with the theme being cultural fashion. Post a picture of the person on the red carpet in formal attire. Talk about the fashion; who made it, what is the cultural significance, statement or symbolism being displayed. Also talk about the person; who are they, how are they or their family important to your nation. Feel free to bring the person to life however you wish. Ballroom - 8pm (Eastern time) The final event will start at 8pm with the theme being socializing. Post a picture of the person at the event. They can be dancing alone or with someone else, or even sitting in a corner alone or with a group. Talk about the person/people; what is going through their mind, what are they talking about, how do they feel. And of course; who are they? If you have more than one person in an image, feel free to focus on only one of them. The event is a month away (as of today); being held on Saturday, September 28th 2024. Feel free to start writing early as opposed to the day of (which would also be fine). The day after (Sunday, September 29th 2024) I will hold a Recap Event. If you missed the event or wanted to make someone new; you can post it on this day noting which function they are attending. If you want to participate, but won't be available on either day; you can write it early and send it to me. I'll then post it for you during the event. I'll need the images you wish to use, and your writings before September 28th.

Þirenz ob der Mäßl, Wednesday, 3rd of January 1341 1500 Local Time From atop the belfry of the yellowist Temple of Plå, one of the oldest structures in Þirenz, a grey pigeon fed its young. The view from atop the tallest structure in the Qyrene capital must have been most impressive: A view of the colossal Mäßl river and the historic inner city was certainly to behold. Once his chicks had had enough, he spread his wings, flying off to find more. The citizens of the capital had a saying: "Not even the pigeons need hunger in our splendid city", referring to Þirenz's special position as a major commercial hub in southern Nur. Indeed, the pigeons had it good now: the Nuran black kites, predatory birds of prey that usually stalked them in cities such as this one, had migrated northwards, choosing to winter in warmer climates. The pigeon let down his guard, choosing to fly a little higher to get a good view of the city. He hovered in the air for a second, considering where he should fly to. The old bird instinctively turned itself around, coursing a trajectory to Frômann Park, named after the 8th-century Kalmachian explorer that had founded the city all those years ago. He approached, his eyes scanning plenty of tasty seeds and berries ripe for the taking, when suddenly... WHOOSH! The poor pigeon, too caught up in a daydream about the next worm he'd catch, was sent tumbling to the ground after a Model 38 Pöhlsen Plå flew closely by. A boatswain (Bootsmann) called Preiß watched through his rear-seat canopy as the bird swiftly regained its composure, flying off after what must have been a tremendous fright. "Close one." the NCO remarked under his breath. He had seen countless planes go down thanks to collisions with birds, and the fact that the young pilot flying the seaplane was tempting fate started to irritate him. He had been among the few men of his generation to have been impressed into the Imperial Qyrene Navy, and was uncharacteristically driven and hard-working for a pressed man. "What sights, eh Preiß?" a voice boomed over the intercom. Ensign Arthur Cambyses von Kerckerinck zu Hülshoff, the pilot flying the plane, had been most eager to get his wings. After graduating at the Imperial Qyrene Naval Academy at Buxenhoben-upon-Braack, his well-off, patrician family had got him a lofty posting aboard the HIMQS Adler von Þirenz, a stone frigate of the Imperial Qyrene Navy that served as one of the navy's aerodromes. Today, he had finally been called up for his flying examination. If he'd only pass his examination today, he would be awarded a commission as a lieutenant-at-sea. Between the eager pilot and the stone-faced NCO sat Chief Mate (Obermaat) Heinrich Barth, a stubby, short man who served as the aeroplane's radio operator. He had grown up alongside the ensign, and had opted for service with the Imperial Navy over the Merchant Marine, since times were peaceful and the pay was good. The pay was even better for aircrew, and so, at the behest of his old friend, he signed up as a radio operator, and through a combination of luck and nepotism, Von Kerckerinck zu Hülshoff had managed to get his old friend posted with him at the Adler von Þirenz. "I've seen enough. Steer us back to the Adler." the NCO commanded in a tone that made the young patrician fear that he would fail his flying exam. He navigated back to the air base, which was situated only out of bounds of the city and a canal of the mighty Mäßl river, where the floatplane could safely land. Barth requested the right to land via the Plå's airband. The ensign landed his plane magnificently, and as a small brownwater patrol boat towed it to one of the water-side docks, where it could be safely returned to one of the hangars. As the plane's floats gracefully slid over the calm water of the canal, an eerie silence filled the plane as the young ensign awaited Preiß's judgment. After disembarking and waiting for what must have been an enternity, Arthur was approached by his commanding officer, squadron leader major Von Serhuyghs, a man of patrician stock just like himself. Von Serhuyghs had a dour visage, as he seemingly always did, and asked the ensign bluntly: "How do you think you did, Fähnrich?" Von Kerckerinck zu Hülshoff, intimidated by the sternness of his CO and imbued with a sense of Qyrene humility, answered plainly: "I could have done much better, herr Major." The officer inspected him from top to bottom, perhaps taking in the sheer desperation and fear that pulsed throughout the young man's body. The ensign could not help but think that this is what the pigeon must have felt like when he'd flown past it earlier. "Welcome to the navy's officer corps, Leutnant. I shall have Bootsmann Preiß see to it that you're properly informed about your duties. You'll read your name in the Herald Monday. Congratulations on your gazettal." The newly-gazetted lieutenant could not believe his luck. "Thank you sir." he answered, trying to give an appropriately muted response to contain his inner joy. The major gave him a nod and turned around to walk back from whence he came. "Oh, and one more thing, lieutenant: you're being transferred. Off to one of these new 'floating aerodromes', as they call them." OOC INFORMATION ABOUT QYR ON THE EVE OF THE GREAT NURAN WAR:

The Host City of Ruisseau Rouge Left, a photo of the Jolly Swamp Raker Statue Right, an aerial photo of Ruisseau Rouge focusing on the neighborhood of La Escapade Ruisseau Rouge, the seat of power for the state of Mare de Sang, has a population of 520,144. The slow-paced small city has had little development in recent years, as the northern region undergoes major changes to its economy. Ruisseau Rouge was an intersection for major railway lines used to service heavy industry further north in the early 1300s. As northern industries changed, the necessity for rail interchanges changed too. The primary use of these rail interchanges is for commercial goods heading for the members of the Doll Guldur Economic Agreement (GECA), and foreign goods coming south to the major cities. The most active part of the city is the Market District, home to the Jolly Swamp Raker. The Jolly Swamp Raker was a previously unnamed statue commissioned by the first city council in 1251. Built to commemorate the founding of the city, the statue moved locations several times before the city settled on creating a fountain, and setting the statue within it in 1258. The state and federal government are the largest employers in the city. These employers include: Université Nationale à Ruisseau Rouge, Hôpital Universitaire Tombeau, the Collège de Médecine de Guerre, and the Viriarma federal police (through its Department Nord headquarters). The largest private employers of the city include Société Électrique de Grand Sang, Mare de Sang and the northern region’s largest energy provider, Serin Dispositifs Médicaux, a medical equipment manufacturer, and Société de Crédit Lansier, an investment bank. OOC: The Summit begins next week Sunday, November 3rd. An opening message will be released on the 3rd, and posters can begin posting. Thanks in advance to everyone who writes for the event. I'm excited to see what people post.❤️

Every seat was filled at the rally, but few were truly in use as the crowd stood cheering for Councilor Duncan Wedge. Though Wedge was a native of Occida and a resident of Cangham, Anders had proved to be the right location to formally launch his presidential campaign. The One Direction Party had seen the most success in the southern districts of Overthinkers, and the working folk who loved their message the most had come out in force today. “New Direction,” they chanted intermittently. “And I have made it clear,” Wedge continued, “that I do not seek this position out of any personal ambition. Overthinkers has seen great growth under the current establishment, but those years are long past. It is time for the old guard to step aside.” He paused while the crowd applauded. “They speak of progress, but for rural Oertin, there has been only stagnation. Aurum makes the decisions, Aurum gets the profits.” The clapping became a roar. Wedge, easily the most animated man in the Dome, was conducting them like an orchestra. Now he held up his hand, as if seeking permission from the audience to continue his speech. “For years, I have fought for your rights in the Council, and for years I have been brushed off, same as many of you here today. But your support today makes it clear. We will not be intimidated–” There was a distant pop. Wedge stopped abruptly. A streak of red began to appear above his temple. The legislator began to collapse as his staffers and security rushed to his side. “Medic!” someone called out, faintly audible over the still-hot microphone. The crowd erupted again, but now in panic, realizing what was occurring. Some ducked for cover, others tried to fight their way to a clear flight path. Security officers poured out into the courtyard, but were uselessly switching between trying to find the shooter and trying to keep the mob in order. Wedge was quickly swept off stage as an ambulance pulled up behind it. A single figure, seated in one of the front rows, had been standing motionless as the chaos unfolded around him. Finally he stood up and began to make his way on stage, walking towards the podium. No one intervened. He quietly leaned in to the microphone. “We will not be intimidated.”

Being a direct democracy in function, it became clear very quickly that it is unfeasible to have the public vote on every issue. To attempt to fix this issue, a party system formed, whereby every Clarinatian may register with a party, and if they met the requirements to vote but decided not to, they would be considered as voting with their party. All Clarinatians have the option of switching parties, and voting independently of them at any time, but most elections go by with the majority trusting their chosen party to vote the way they want. This does mean that there are several political parties, and political power is very distributed. Most governments are coalitions of several parties, as if you get enough consistent votes to get a majority you can govern effectively from there The largest political parties currently are: Monarchist Party CN: 1,749,314 votes (23.8%) Wish to strengthen the monarch, and allow the government more leeway to intervene in the economy Anti-Monarchiste Republicains: 1,635,534 votes (22.3%) Believe that the current strength of the crown is sufficient, and wish to officiate the republic and make the king a president Direct Democrats: 1,491,744 votes (20.3%) Wish to maintain current crown strength, but increase legislative strength and expand social programs Socialist Party Clarinatia: 975,384 votes (13.3%) Want to completely change the fabric of Clarinatia into a socialist system. Very willing to moderate for small changes, often called "conservative socialists" Anarchists: 603,086 votes (8.23%) Believe that the current government is too strong, and that they should follow the Czuleck example and become an anarchic confederation Liberal-Conservative Party: 476,130 votes (8.22%) Wish for slow change, and small, efficient social programs Militarists: 263,582 votes (3.59%) Desperately wish to establish a Clarinatian army, and allow the government to introduce conscription when at war. Minor Parties (less than 100k votes): 285,303 Current government: MPCN+Direct Democrats+LCP+Militarists (55.91%)

Neon Grove was a neutral, resource-rich nation that acted as a diplomatic mediator and supplier of steel and neon. It supported anti-colonial efforts covertly while maintaining trade relations with Kalmach. Neon Grove prioritized humanitarian aid, creating neutral zones for civilians, as well as hosting negotiations and covert diplomatic peace talks. Its contributions destabilized colonial powers and cemented its role as a hub for diplomacy and technological influence post-war.

Wednesday, 3rd of January, 1341 City of Tórshaven, State of Óstóhav 1500 Local Time A rainy day is upon the 2nd Armoured Brigade of the Royal Kalmachian Army. Slowly while taking his time, a soldier with the grand responsibility of counting cars for his battalion strolls along in discomfort while doing his job. Another soldier approaches. “Hey, how’s it going.” “Fine. While small discrepancies have appeared, nothing major yet. The tally so far makes sense according to my estimate. I haven’t counted them all yet, after all, so can’t say for sure.” A small pause appeared, with the other soldier appearing hesitant to speak further. “Rumors are going around.” “Rumors?” “The Empire is apparently collapsing from the inside out. Multiple stationed soldiers elsewhere have reported unrest among the local populace, mostly in Ionia. The motherland as well, is no exception. Democratic extremists in Hellessia, Skaia, and Hennland have begun increasing activity and recruitment to their cause. I have a feeling we’ll see the end of our nation soon.” “... Perhaps. Either way, that isn’t our job to worry about.” The soldier slightly spots a person in the corner of his eye. Slowly, as if taking a casual stroll, approaches Colonel Aleksander Vibork the two soldiers. With a determined pace, he heads towards the soldier given the task of tallying the total amount of Asir Blamhunns that his battalion have been supplied before takeoff. He bears a wet, yet straight coat slightly waving in the uncomfortable combination of wind and rain. “Soldiers.” He speaks “Yes sir!” “Slacking off are we? How’s that tally going.” “Well, sir! Almost finished.” The Colonel thinks for a moment. “Where are we headed tomorrow?” He asks. This is of course not out of curiosity, the Colonel just liked these small tests from time to time. Failure would lead to way too many pushups to continue comfortably holding the clipboard, so the soldier answered as correctly as he could. “We are headed down to Ionia to make sure that no civil war within the country takes place, sir!” “Party correct, twenty pushups.” “Shit”, the soldier mutters under his breath, letting the half-soaked clipboard lay flat on the ground as he puts his hands on the wet asphalt. As the Colonel pops a cheeky smile, he explains. “While it’s true that your destination was correct, the fact is that a civil war in Ionia is inevitable. That little septic tank of a colony has long been way more trouble than it’s worth, but, as the emperor says, it is necessary for complete Kalmachian domination of Nur. There are also talks of Inseberistan involvement, but who knows at this point.” The Colonel states blankly for a second. “Anyway, how does everything check out so far soldier?” Finishing his final pushups, the soldier picks up the wet clipboard and dries his hands off on his green, state-issued trousers. "Reporting, sir. While it seems we are a bit shorthanded on Tiker IIs, we have a slight surplus of Blamhunns. Rifles are a check, as well as artillery. I have yet to finish counting of the support equipment." "Sound great so far. We continue according to schedule. You two, report to the airfield barracks at 1700 regarding briefing for tomorrow." "Yes, sir!" As the rain intensified, multiple groans could be heard from exhausted soldiers. But none of them had any idea of what was to come, as a long, long decade of fighting was ahead of them.

Principality of Ageros Na Fyrónsacht a Ága Rós Flag Coat of Arms Motto: Patriam Meam Amo Location Population: 981,670 -Density: 12/km2 Capital: Morvik Largest City: Morvik Official Language: Ageran National Language: Ageran Demonym: Ageran Government: - Crown Prince (Fyróns): Roan II - Premier: Árnur Darrúe Legislature: Dhringúr (Unicameral) Land Area: 31,500 mile² 81,585 km² Elevation Highest Point: Súlfoss (1,010m) GDP (PPP): $33,835,208,368 GDP per capita: $34,467 Currency: Ageran Krón Time Zone: Western Standard Time (IAT -1) Drives on the: Right Internet TLD: .ag Introduction The Principality of Ageros (Ageran:Na Fyrónsacht a Ága Rós) is a sovereign island nation and principality in the north of the continent of Aura in Esferos. Ageros has a population of 981,670 people. A majority of the population at around 30% live in the capital Morvik (pop.294,000) and its hinterland. The second city of Ageros is Halfí(pop.49,000) which lies directly east of Morvik across the central lowland plain, altogether 4 of Ageros’ 5 largest settlements are on this flatter, highly agriculturally productive part of the isle and the Dassúr plain makes up 60% of the population of Ageros as well as 70% of Ageran GDP. The rest of the island of Ageros is characterised by its central highlands the infamous Rúlrin mountains, a scenic yet extreme interior filled with vast valleys lined with thick temperate forests, stunning waterfalls and a stunning myriad of flora and fauna. Since the constitution of Ageros was codified in 1310 the island has been a democratic constitutional monarchy. Voting in the principality occurs through proportional representation and the people are represented in the unicameral Parliament known as the Dhiringúr which as of the 1424 elections has 60 members. The head of government of Ageros is the Premier of Ageros. Ageros has a multi-party system with the current ruling party being the Cora á Landa (Land Party). Ageros is world renowned for its high quality of life, unique culture and beautiful wild landscapes. Geography Ageros is an island nation that lies at the most northerly point of the continent of Aura with the Frossen Strede to its north, the North Slagg Narrows to its south, the Tethys Sea to its west and the Timeworn Sea to its east. The principality territorially consists of the island of Ageros itself as well as several smaller islands off its coast. The largest of these smaller islands is Glanna, a long thin island to the east of the mainland. Overall Ageros is 81,585 Km2 in size (31,500 sq mi). Ageros is closest in proximity to [url=]Ryxtylopia[/url] being separated from it by the North Slagg Narrows. Einherfell lies to the north and United Adaikes to the west. Topographically Ageros is varied. There are four distinct mountain ranges on the island that form the shape of long ridges stretch from west to east across the island. These are the Southern Upland, Northern Upland, Dór mountains and Rúlrin mountains. Of these ranges the Rúlrins are the largest in area and highest in elevation. The tallest mountain in Ageros is Súlfoss which sits at 1,010 metres. There are also several valleys that punctuate the island. The largest of these is the Central Lowland Plain which is the most populated part of the country. At either end of the central lowlands lie the capital of Ageros, Morvik and the nation’s second city Halfí. The landscape of Ageros from its coast to mountains and its rivers Ageros also has several large lakes. These largest of these is Haefaerí located in the centre of the north of the isle. Haefaerí is an important body of water culturally for the Ageran people and a vast quantities of sagas and annals take part on its shores as does folk legends with many legendary Ageran folk creatures set to live in its waters. It is one of the most pristine and beautiful bodies of water in Esferos with the Rúlrins to its south and the Northern Upland to, you guessed it, the north. To the southwest lie the Haedes, three lakes the largest of which is called Haede Mór. The Ageran coastline is punctuated by cliffs, sandy beaches, inlets sounds and dunes. Ageros is also one of the most densely forested parts of Esferos. Roughly 87% of Ageros is covered in Temperate Forest made up of a variety of broadleaf trees. The most densely forested parts of the nation are the aforementioned four uplands as well as the Kolingúr area of the south of the island. These forests are not monocultural, on the island exist temperate rainforests, coniferous and mixed categories.

Edict 1 27th February 1425 6:04 pm “Are you completely sure this will be a good idea sir? I mean, the environmental consequences would be astronomical. There- There’s just no way we can-“ “Yeeees I am sure. I’ve gone it through thousands of times with the Minister of National Security. There is no threats to be posed by the edict, only economical success and the betterment of our country.” “Sir, I must really insist. Either you go through it with the Ministry of EP and Greenery or there will be unforseen consequences. This is way too much. You can’t just throw everything into our rivers!” “Now now, calm down. I know what I am doing, besides what cinsequences can emerge from something like that? Our rivers are pristine I tell you…” A small suspense hang in the air around the office of Kerglom Hafth, Fauthurian Head of Government. The Walls beige, adorned with medals and placards of Mottos and Quotes of the Democratic Party. “Okay, you know what. I’ll go through with that damn ministry. Although, I don’t expect much.” Hail the lords, if there are any, thought Jenus Klett, personal advisor of Hafth. Visible relief showing in his face. Afterall, he has to be present day in and out during Hafth’s idiotic decisions and also helped avoid the one or other catastrophy. “Wait, I have a better idea, i’ll go consult with them later. What if we just dump all that stuff in the oceans? After all, it won’t do us much of a favor if it remains here in the country.” “I have to agree, anything better than here. Although please, i beg you, don’t involve any country or regions other than ourself if you have to do your statement. We can’t afford more international attention after that debacle with Aftokratoria lately.” “Don’t worry, it will all be handled excellently” A smug smile cut through his face. The meeting ended, both Hafth and Klett made their way towards the evening break, given to all government personnel from 6:30pm to 7pm. It was rather cold outside, maybe from the evening sun setting in, clouds standing before the uv rays of it. Shortly before the end of the break, an intermittent humming, shortly followed by a loud screech lit up the building. It was the PA system, always making you want to rip your ears off whenever it sounded. “All personnel with security clearance 8 and higher to room 282-b this instant” Security clearances are simple, the higher of a job you possess in the government, the higher your security clearance is. Security clearance 8 here refers to all present ministers and above. A quiet commotion, mumbling, whispering and even muffled laughter can be heard in the room once the whole workforce has materialized more or less quicky. “Ok gentlemen, as you may have heard, a big thing is in the works, the biggest one yet and I want to make clear with you all on this fine evening.” Present were the ministress of National Security, the minister of Infrastructure, the minister of EP and Greenery, the minister of Economy, Hafth, his advisor, and lastly , the minister of national and international shipping. An amalgamation of people that were to be notified about the edict, prior to it being announced. Conveniently, they all were assigned overtime a day prior, so any unnecessary people weren’t present. “It has come to my attention, that the economy is in dire need of an upgrade, an advancement of sorts. The ongoing reformation in the garbage sector, or whatever it’s called is stifling the opportunities to expand. We don’t know where to with the stuff we don’t need, and we can’t sell it either.” Bored faces were showing of the poeple there, already being home if it weren’t for the forced overtime. Glances being exchanged in between them. “So” Hafth continued, “it is necessary to take that stuff, and put it somewhere else, do you agree gentlemen?” Most ministers nod. “How are you going to get rid of it then, we can’t just dump it into our neighboring states just like that”, the minister of EP and Greenery came to word, almost bombing Hafth’s words out of the room. Quite ecstatic. “We talked about this, Hefning” Hafth said, in a tone of slight hate. He couldn’t stand that ministry and everything in and surrounding it. It is a thorn in his eyes, but sadly necessary for the democracy Fauthur wants to be, and he can’t change it as much as he wanted to. Yes, he’s democratic, wants the “best for the people” and all that stuff. Though, you could almost see nothing about the environmenvon the parties website or pledges. Most of all, Hafth hated Hefning, purely due to the name. He vaguely remembered someone with that name denouncing every act of his in the government, though, now six feet under due to old age. “We’re going to dump it where the sun don’t shine, kilometers under the sea. Swimming with the fishes if you will.” The commotion in the room gets louder, one gasp was audible for a second. “This is appalling, quite frankly. Ever thought about the animals living in the oceans? Ever thought about the environmental implications of this Endeavour, ever thought-“ Hefning was cut off, Hafth didn’t want to hear that piercing voice. Though, happy the Minister of Infrastructure cut him off. “This is for the best of our nation, the beet for the economy and a great relief for the “garbage sector” and the building capacity for the economy.” The minister of Economy nodded along, a slight smile. He wasn’t a man to talk much and noted everything down. One could muster he writes down almost too much for anyone to legibly read on one page, still he was concentrated and could read his notes. The minister of Infrastructure was quite the role model for the Ministry if Economy he thought. Maybe the should switch roles.. nonetheless, he’s taken a liking to Klaus Iop, minister of Infrastructure. “Right, exactly that” Hafth supports Iop. “Might I add, where do you want to take the capacity to sink all that stuff in the sea, it needs to be transported. I doubt we have enough ships ready for that- that hellish plan.” Hefning was mad as a bull, though he tries his best not to show it. It is unavoidable when talking that he gets very euphoric if a subject touches him. “Also, you know you can’t just pollute the oceans. The edict must be made public afterall. Are you not worried about the heavy international backlash this will cause?” The minister of national and international shipping, Hesur Fest, cuts in before Hafth can answer, much less to the delight of Hefning. “It has all been dealt with. We still got some obsolete freighters and ships from bygone times. Just a little cleaning, some adjustments and done are the garbage freighters. You know what, I love the sound of that.” Fest loses himself in daydreaming about ships. Ships and shipping and all that is naval always amazed him as a kid, he wanted to make that dream real, thus he’s now sitting here as one of the most important people of the country, with a pay that could drown someone in minutes if materialised. “A whole flotilla of garbage ships… great.. you kno-“ “And as for your other statement, Hefning. I have already been thinking about that, and we’ll just fly some aftokratorian flags, or flags from other places we don’t like, modify transponders or just completely cut out their comms equipment, no one will suspect it was us and all we can say is that these weren’t our ships. I know, the edict will be made public. But if we don’t officially do it, we never did it at all. We can just say that we dumped it in a landfill on a remote place for recycling and other purposes. Genius.” Hafth began to smile, as he was confident it would work, no matter Hefning being present. Hafth knew he could do nothing about it. As the clock struck 1 am, all ministers were dismissed, having had a glass of wine each… or multiple, one could not know. But one thing is sure, it wasn’t in the presence of Minister of Environmental Protection and Greenery, Hefning. As soon as the ministers were done talking, Hesur Fest, minister of national and international shipping sent forth the signal to repurpose a whole flotilla of garbage ships. It was 15 ships numbered. All rigged up with signal jammers and transponders thrown away. Most of them flying under Aftokratorian flags, some none and one ship flying under a still secretive flag, which will probably reveal itself later. One after the other, being packed with radioactive waste, bio wastes, scrap and other metals, heavy metals, chemicals and whatnot to make space for economic progress, they set sail in groups of 3 to the middle of the Viatic sea and in front of the Aftokratorian water boundary. “It is quite nice that no one governs international waters, it’s all free game” Hafth leans back in his chair, relaxing in the quietness of his office. No sound to be heard. Tranquility.

OFFICIAL DECLARATION FROM THE DESK OF QUEEN ATSILA ANI'-WAH' I The Kingdom of Zoran, through its intelligence and maritime enforcement agencies, has obtained irrefutable evidence that the United Republics of Fauthur is conducting these illegal dumping operations under the guise of commercial shipping activities. The findings include: Emergency Edict and Covert Authorization – Classified intelligence has revealed that the government of Fauthur, under an emergency decree, has secretly authorized state and private vessels to dispose of hazardous waste into the Viatic Ocean and into the waters of neighboring countries. False Flag Operations – Surveillance and intercepted communications confirm that Fauthurian ships have been disguising their true origin by flying false Aftokratorian flags and using falsified registration documents to evade accountability. Coordinated Nighttime Dumping – Satellite imagery, naval reconnaissance, and drone surveillance have tracked multiple Fauthurian vessels operating at night, dumping vast quantities of industrial and chemical waste under cover of darkness to avoid detection. Harm to Neighboring Waters – Reports from multiple nations have confirmed a surge in contaminated waters, poisoned marine life, and coastal damage, directly linked to the waste originating from Fauthurian sources. Given this overwhelming proof of deliberate environmental sabotage, and in light of the United Republics of Fauthur’s attempt to conceal its actions and mislead the international community, the Kingdom of Zoran hereby declares the full imposition of economic sanctions against the United Republics of Fauthur, effective immediately.

Friday, 3rd of January, 1341 2200 Local Time It is quiet. A wildcat moves through the cold and rainy tropical forests of northern Inseberistan. It walks through the shrubbery and finds a wide open stretch of dirt. Suddenly, dark green truck rushes through, scaring away the cat. No sign of civilization surrounds the truck, filled with a squad of RIGF soldiers huddled beneath the canvas-covered roof of the truck. The truck's driver, Ruslan Carmona, spoke. “How you boys doing back there? There's another stretch of bumpy road coming up soon.” “As for me, I'm alright. The occasional jolt helps keep me awake,” Archil responded, in the back of the truck. The soldier in the passenger seat wakes from his sleep, but holds his cap on his head. Samu, sitting between 2 other men, speaks through the silence. “You think Kher Aleksandr might be a bit over his head? Like, he wants us to secure the border with Fortuna in the middle of the night! And not a single person will say why.” “That's why captain said this is a confidential mission,” replies Ruslan. “But why though? What could Fortuna possibly do?” “Don't know. Might be because of the Kalmachians up north. That Empire of theirs is pretty large. The Kher probably thinks they might invade. Personally, I agree.” A harsh bright light slowly shines through the dark forest. “Ah. there's the camp, boys.” The truck brakes to a halt, spraying mud from the road. The captain, trotting through the mud, exits a rudimentary hut built near the entrance to the camp. “Sergeant Ruslan, where’s the rest of the platoon? I only see your squad’s truck!” “The truck behind us fell into a pit beside the road about 20 miles south, blocking the path of the rest of the convoy. The others insisted that I continue to report here at the camp. They should be here soon.” “Uh-huh, I see. Well then, welcome to the border. Here, you'll be staying overnight for several days. I'll just cut to the chase. The order is to install 2 layers of wired fencing and a 5-foot ditch in between. Food and other rations will be provided 2 times a day, and we’ve located a nearby creek for hygienic purposes.” Each man gives a nod as they come out from the truck. The camp is surrounded by large spotlights, with tents covering the majority of the area. Ruslan drives the truck over to a far corner of the camp, where rows of other trucks are parked. The rest of the squad are led to their tent, where they are ordered to set their equipment down, and head to the open field for a briefing. “When they said tents, I was expecting something smaller, you know?” said Archil. “I don’t know, but at least there’s enough room in here to stand,” Lucero replied. The squad exited the tent and walked over to the field. The captain stood there, waiting for the rest of the company to assemble. “Alright soldiers, listen here. I know you may be uncomfortable or disgusted by the rain, but know that this isn’t even a fraction of the discomfort I felt during the uprising back in ‘34. This company has softened since the end of it, so it’s my mission to make all of you hardened soldiers by the end of this mission, Do you understand?” “Yes sir!” replied the crowd. “Good,” the captain paced back and forth by the front of the company, “Now, if I remember correctly, I told each and every one of you tonight’s mission when you entered the camp. I won’t remind any of you, as I will hold all of you responsible. I won’t go on for too long now, so I’ll dismiss you to your own squads to begin your assignments.” “Yes sir!” The crowds splits into squads and each gather their own equipment. At the edge of the camp, rows of squads begin building the defenses. Samu starts to dig the ditch alongside Lucero, while Ruslan assembles the wire fence with the help of several other men. Looking back, Ruslan sees the rest of his platoon’s trucks arrive at the entrance to the camp. “About time,” remarks Archil. Ruslan chuckles, “I wonder what captain will say to them.” The company works through the night, but they aren’t the only ones. Along the entire northern border of Inseberistan, thousands of troops construct the same defenses. Kher Aleksandr is determined to secure Inseberistan’s borders in the event of war.

HISTORY First Nations (970 BF-735 BF) The first documented records of ancient Inseberi civilization are dated somewhere around 8,000 years ago. Ancient Inseberis are believed to have been nomadic people for the majority of their history. Artifacts from around 1400 BF suggest that at that time, small settlements were formed by Ancient Inseberis. In approximately 970 BF, Teplosato, the first major Inseberi settlement, was founded. The city was built overlooking a large lake and was fortified by walls made of logs. The Teplosaton foundation myth claims that a large cat led a man to a lake, where it commanded the waters to wave dramatically. This myth is celebrated during the Festival of Waters. Over time, several other subgroups of the Inseberi ethnicity settled around the lake. Settlements of the same subgroup joined together, and eventually, Ancient Volun was founded as the first Inseberi nation. More followed, including Ancient Ladov, which was established in Teplosato. As time progressed, the smaller and weaker nations were brutally taken over by larger and more powerful nations. In 735 BF, Volun fell, and was succeeded by Ancient Ladov. As the civilization grew, the government became more centralized and became the first Inseberi nation to be ruled by a Kher, an archaic term for a ruler. This kind of government is known as a kherate, which is the Inseberi culture's equivalent of a kingdom. Traditionally, the kher of a nation is also the head of the state religion. The Ladov Kherate (735 BF-372 BF) The Ladovian kher had absolute power, but despite this, there were still regional rulers. The biggest threats to Ladov were its neighbors, as they attempted to overthrow the Ladovian government. In 661 BF, Cideno, a nation neighboring to the north, established itself as a kherate, and occasionally clashed with Ladov. Roughly a few hundred years after the formation of Ladov, the citizens became more aware of the corrupt power the kher held. Uprisings in the nation grew substantially in the 350s BF, and the people involved were punished substantially. In 372 BF, a group of radicals from Cideno known as the Cidenoan Ekspansio Fronto, or CEF, formulated a plot to remove Kher Mirzəyev, the current kher of Ladov. The CEF, led by Nazar Sultanov, and secretly backed by Cidenoan Kher Artavazd, asassinated Mirzəyev during the Festival of Waters. Quickly following the asassination, the Cidenoan military stormed Teplosato, and took over Ladov. The Cidenoan Empire (372 BF-668 AF) Following the swift takeover of Teplosato, Cideno underwent several reforms, establishing the Cidenoan Empire. Kher Artavazd proclaimed himself emperor, and in a tragic twist of fate, punished the Ladovians just like the previous khers. The Cidenoan Empire battled neighboring Inseberi nations for ages and, under the reign of Emperor Valerian, eventually gained control of the entire Inseberi region. Beacause of Cideno's brutal takeovers of nations, the empire was divided into many disorganized provinces. In 41 AF, Emperor Hovhannes created a new organized system dividing the empire into 6 major provinces: Cefubor, Borienca, Nomin, Nurdemar, Pitento, and Terokav. In 266 AF, Emperor Aldiyar, often called Aldiyar the Horrible, began a policy which persecuted ethnic Ladovians. He believed that in order to protect the empire, all Ladovians must be killed, so no revolutions could possibly occur. During Aldiyar the Horrible's reign, nearly all Ladovians were killed, except for those who went into hiding in the mountains, and those who were sheltered in other's homes. After the death of Aldiyar the Horrible in 284 AF, his son, Sahak, came into power, and began his khership by trying to undo his father's acts and create social reform. This reform led to the provinces gaining some autonomy. This was the beginning of the end for the Cidenoan Empire. By the 640s, civil unrest grew, and revolutions began. The tumultuous reigns of Emperor Anacleto and Emperor Caetano did little to help the populace. Each of the 6 provinces declared independence from the empire, and by 668 AF, it had collapsed. Independence and the Formation of Inseberistan (668 AF-1217) After the collapse of the Cidenoan Empire, the former Emperor Caetano was exiled to Akokoj Island and locked in a stone keep, where Nominian guards watched him at all times. Relations were mostly peaceful between the 6 nations, not wanting to cause more war. The province of Cefubor became Ladova, founded by the survivors of the Ladovian persecution. Nurdembar became Cideno, founded by the decendants of the original founders of the nation, restoring its peaceful ideology. In 865, Ladova and Borienca began talks about possible unification. News spread of possible unification throughout the rest of the region, and after much deliberation, on November 3, 887 The 6 Inseberi nations officially unified into the Kherate of Inseberistan. Kher Harjaberhtaz become the first kher of Inseberistan in 887. the Kherate had much better foreign relations in the continent of Nur, as opposed to the solitudinous nations in the past. Because of this, Inseberistan gained many technological advancements by 1217 under the reign of Kher Bakhtiyar.

| General Overview | History | Geography | Government | Economy | Demographics | Culture | Geography Varia is located in the northern coasts of the northern continent of Doll-Guldur, and is part of the polar area of Esferos. Geographically, it is located between the longitude of 1° 30' 30" East - 8° 10' 10"East and the latitude of 50° 40' 10"North - 59° 10' 10" North. Varia’s easternmost point is very near the Meridian of Marcarius, and thus is part of IAT+0 time zone, domestically called Varian Time. Varia is bordered by two other states in Doll-Guldur; the nation of Novasamita to the west and southwest and the nation of Novia Xeneia to the south. To the north, Varia is bounded by the polar Thulian Ocean, specifically the Proxima Thulia Sea, which freezes over during winter. Landscape Varian territory is relatively flat, with its highest point only reaching below 1.3 kilometres from the surface of the sea. However, Varia’s landscape is quite rugged, similar to the make-up of the majority of Doll-Guldur's landscape. Hills and valleys straddled the nation, stretching from the southwest point to its northeast. The region is marked by lowlands on its extreme north and south, separated by highlands and the Dalekie Mountains in the middle. The highest point in Varia is Mount Północna (1272 m from sea surface), while its lowest point is the Czamisto Depression which reached the depth of -10m from sea surface The highly diverse and rugged landscape of Varia is due to its proximity near the divergent boundaries of Doll-Guldur's two tectonic plates, wich separate a smaller northern landmass with the larger southern landmass. The divergent motion of the tectonic plates caused the formation of rift valleys which formed the stretched hills and canyons of Varia, as well as creating a tectonically active region that experienced earthquakes often. There are some minor surface volcanic activities, due to the nearby plate boundary, however most of Varia’s volcanic landscapes have been formed millions of years ago and are not currently active. Taiga coverage in Northeast Varia, in Polyar Rayon. Climate The vast majority of Varia lies under the Subarctic climate category due to the extremity of its northward location. On average, Varia experienced harsh and cold winters with temperatures averaging -20° C, and cold arid summers with average temperatures of around 18° C. The landscape of Varia also created a higher climatic difference between the extreme north and south of the nation. Temperature can fall to below -30° C in the northernmost point during winter, while in the south, it can reach between 20 to 25° C in summer. This difference is caused by the Dalekie Mountains, which despite its low altitude, forces southwesterly winds that carry moistures up to dry, causing a rain shadow effect that gives higher rainfall and humidity to the southern regions, while making the northern regions much colder and arid. However, the temperature variation does not affect the biome make-up of Varia, which is mostly composed of taiga forests, with a small coniferous and savannah coverage in the southernmost point. Regional Division Varia is divided into eight Commonwealth States, four Commonwealth Districts, and five Commonwealth Metros. The eight States governed their own territory, with their own elected governments and their own laws and constitutions. The States use their own local language in administration, have their own separate State Budget, and govern autonomously for the most part, with exception on defense, security, and financial matters which belong to the central government. Commonwealth Districts are regions that do not have their own autonomy, and are subject to the Commonwealth Government. The districts are headed by elected Governors, and have their own local legislatures, but lack most of the privileges afforded to States, including the right to raise their own taxes. Commonwealth Metros are similar to Districts, but they are led by elected Mayors. Both States and Rayons are further divided into Municipalities which are categorised into Urban (Cities) and Rural. Municipalities are governed by elected Mayors and deputies of the Municipal Councils, and are responsible for building and maintaining local infrastructures. For administrative and bureaucratic services, Municipalities are separated into Sectors, before being further divided into Communes. Communes comprise between 75 to 200 families, and are the smallest subdivision of the Commonwealth. Each Communes have their own unique customs and their own local financial arrangements, but are generally led by an elected Chairman.

Government and Politics Government Ageros is a Parliamentary representative democracyand is a constitutional monarchy and a unitary statethere are three levels to Ageran government. The executive which consists of the Premier (Framfíne) and their cabinet, which are most commonly referred to in Ageran as the Ríkalú (government). The Dhiringúr is the unicameral legislative body of Ageros. The Dhiringúr consists of 60 members and is elected through a system of proportional representation using an open list system with multi-party constituencies. On election days in Ageros voters are given ballots with both the name of a party and then a list of that party’s candidates beneath. Voters circle their preferred candidates numbers on the list thus giving certain candidates priority. These ballots are then stamped by an election official and the ballot is cast. All party ballots are identical to one another. Altogether there are 5 electoral constituencies in Ageros. The number of seats in each constituency is proportional to its population. Morvik-Rosse is the constituency with the most seats at 20 with 2 having 15 seats each and the smallest two Dór and Rúlrin having 5 each. Elections to the Dhiringúr are held every four years and usually on the last Sunday of May on election year. Ageros is a multi party system and usually parties do not win a majority in the Dhiringúr however this rule was broken by Córa a Landa who won a landslide victory in the 2024 elections becoming the first party to win a majority in parliament with 32 seats. Generally in Ageros the public have a high degree of satisfaction with their government due to a system built on trust and transparency. Ageros is one of the worlds least corrupt countries. Ageros also has a highly independent judiciary with judges appointed by an autonomous group linked to the ministry of justice. Róan II has been the crown prince of Ageros since 1389 (1989). The monarch is the Ageran head of state. Following constitutional reform in 1310 (1910) which saw the role of the Ageran monarchy in the legislative process reduced dramatically and at present the Ageran monarch’s signature is little more than a rubber stamp on bills passed through the Dhiringúr. Prior to 1310 the crown prince/princess had the ability not only to block bills from gaining royal assent but to dissolve the Dhiringúr altogether. It was only in the aftermath of a civil war that this power was curtailed. Modern day Ageran republicans say that these reforms did not go far enough and that as the monarch holds little significance in modern Ageran governance the office should be abolished. However, those in favour of the monarchy point to the crown prince as an important symbol of Ageran sovereignty.

Work In Progress - Full Projection to be posted soon! As many of you know, I'm a political nerd and junky. As a public servant in RL I do not participate in electoral campaigns these days but in the 2010s I was involved in campaigns for the provincial and federal NDP in my local area. I've been doing election projections and forecasts since the late 2000s for pure personal amusement and to help my understanding on how a given race is going. Today, I'm happy to publish my forecast for the 2025 Canadian federal election, with the first results from Newfoundland and Labrador most likely being announced shortly after 7pm EDT Monday night, and then moving across the country throughout the night. Polls close in each region in this general order: Newfoundland - 8:30pm NDT, 8:00pm ADT, 7:00pm EDT, 6:00pm CDT, 5:00pm MDT, 4:00pm PDT Atlantic - 9:00pm NDT, 8:30pm ADT, 7:30pm EDT, 6:30pm CDT, 5:30pm MDT, 4:30pm PDT Quebec/Ontario - 11:00pm NDT, 10:30pm ADT, 9:30pm EDT, 8:30pm CDT, 7:30pm MDT, 6:30pm PDT Manitoba - 11:00pm NDT, 10:30pm ADT, 9:30pm EDT, 8:30pm CDT, 7:30pm MDT, 6:30pm PDT Saskatchewan/Alberta - 11:00pm NDT, 10:30pm ADT, 9:30pm EDT, 8:30pm CDT, 7:30pm MDT, 6:30pm PDT British Columbia - 11:30pm NDT, 11:00pm ADT, 10:00pm EDT, 9:00pm CDT, 8:00pm MDT, 7:00pm PDT Headline Polling Numbers Due to how geographically diverse our country is, polling is often analyzed by the headline federal numbers for each party, but perhaps more importantly by the "regional" numbers. Although there are 10 provinces and 3 territories, standard polling practice is to poll the country based off of the following regions: Atlantic (which is Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick), Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies (Manitoba and Saskatchewan), Alberta, and British Columbia. This is due to the lower populations in the Atlantic and Prairie provinces and resulting sample sizes. For the territories I group them in the following fashion: Nunavut's projection is tied in with the Prairies, Northwest Territories is with Alberta, and Yukon is with British Columbia. In the below section I'll show where polling has each party in each region and also noting the difference from what they scored in the 2021 election: CANADA - Liberal Party of Canada LIB 42.50% (+9.88), Conservative Party of Canada CON 38.83% (+5.09), New Democratic Party of Canada NDP 8.63% (-9.19), Bloc Quebecois BLQ 6.00% (-1.64), Green Party of Canada GRN 2.00% (-0.33), People's Party of Canada PPC 1.23% (-3.70), Other Parties/Independents OTH 0.80% (-0.11) Atlantic - LIB 54.87% (+11.27), CON 35.33% (+3.79), NDP 6.50% (-10.42), GRN 1.63% (-1.55), PPC 1.37% (-2.99), OTH 0.30% (-0.10) Quebec - LIB 40.63% (+7.03), BLQ 25.87% (-6.26), CON 23.70% (+5.05), NDP 5.83% (-3.94), GRN 1.77% (+0.24), PPC 1.37% (-1.32), OTH 0.83% (-0.80) Ontario - LIB 47.60% (+8.34), CON 39.87% (+5.00), NDP 8.20% (-9.65), GRN 2.03% (-0.19), PPC 1.43% (-4.02), OTH 0.87% (+0.52) Prairies - CON 48.87% (+0.28), LIB 36.30% (+16.61), NDP 11.50% (-10.60), GRN 1.43% (+0.03), PPC 1.13% (-6.01), OTH 0.77% (-0.32) Alberta - CON 59.40% (+4.13), LIB 27.73% (+12.28), NDP 8.93% (-10.14), PPC 2.17% (-5.18), GRN 1.17% (+0.26), OTH 0.60% (-1.34) British Columbia - LIB 40.73% (+13.73), CON 39.23% (+6.01), NDP 13.90% (-15.27), GRN 3.67% (-1.62), PPC 1.63% (-3.28), OTH 0.88% (+0.43) There are a few events in play: Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre (running in Carleton, ON) has been running a populist conservative campaign which has removed the PPC from play on his right-flank, along with grabbing the attention of those who feel angry and/or left behind by the past 10 years of Liberal government. This is why he will probably receive the best popular vote that any centre-right politician has in the post-1993 modern Canadian system. The threat of Donald Trump (and how Poilievre looks Trump-lite) and the perceived competency of Liberal leader Mark Carney (running in Nepean, ON) in the face of Trump (or in general compared to Trudeau) has moved NDP, Green, and even a good number of Bloc Quebecois voters over to the Liberals. Trump absolutely scares us and any time he mentions "51st State" or announces a new round of tariff, we wrap our red-and-white maple leaf flag around us even harder. The NDP led by Jagmeet Singh (running in Burnaby Centre, BC), Bloc Quebecois led by Yves-Francois Blanchet (running in Beloeil--Chambly, QC) and Greens co-led by Elizabeth May (running in Saanich--Gulf Islands, BC) and Jonathan Pedneault (running in Outremont, QC) are all urging their supporters to keep supporting their parties to provide somewhat of a check on a Carney-led Liberal majority government, to apparent limited success. The critical issue of the campaign has been Canadian sovereignty/who can be the best to stand up for Canada against Trump, followed by affordability/cost of living which was the top issue before Trump returned and started to bully us. Before the election the other major issue, fatigue with Justin Trudeau, was removed from the equation when over the winter his party finally broke with him and he announced he would resign after a new leader was found, allowing Mark Carney (who has served as Governor of the Central Bank of Canada and then of England) to launch a very successful campaign to become the Liberal standard-bearer. The consumer-side of the Carbon Tax was also removed as a campaign issue (which was seen as an affordability/cost of living issue for many Canadians who hated high gas and other prices) for the most part when Carney became PM just before the campaign officially started and changed the taxation rate to 0%, effectively removing the consumer-side of the Carbon Tax while generally leaving the industrial-side of said tax. Headline Seat Numbers Of course, the popular vote does not actually determine who forms government in Canada, it is the number of MPs a Prime Minister can count on to deliver confidence. In both the 2019 and 2021 elections, the Conservatives won the popular vote by roughly 1% over the Liberals, and yet because of how solid the Conservative vote is in rural Canada (particularly across Alberta and Saskatchewan, and rural parts of BC, Manitoba and Ontario) and inefficient elsewhere, the Liberals under Justin Trudeau in both of those elections won a plurality of seats in the House and kept government, either working bill-by-bill with any opposition party who wanted to work with them (or more likely, abstain on the bill), or form a confidence and supply agreement as what happened between 2022 and 2024 with the Liberal government and the NDP. Based off of the map of ridings in the country, and where people are, it is common assumption that if the Conservatives want to form a minority government they need to have at least 2-3% above the Liberals, and would need 4%+ to get a majority depending on how the other parties do in their respective areas. And yet, here are the seat projections I get with the numbers today: LIB - 188 CON - 126 BLQ - 21 NDP - 6 GRN - 2 PPC - 0 OTH - 0 How did I get these numbers? In the past election we had 338 ridings, in this one we have 343. Elections Canada and other sources provide good data on how to transpose the prior election onto the new boundaries, and from that data I use a regional-swing model (with some adjustments in seats for local conditions) to get the below seat projections. In the below section, I sort ridings into sub-regions, note beside the riding name which party current holds the seat, and then show the expected percentages for each party running in the seat. If it has this colour as with its name then that is a riding which is within 10 points margin between the first and second placed party and thus is what I figure is a "battleground" riding.

March 5th, 1425-West West Fauthur Halls It has now been 6 days since the Fauthurian edict to boost the economy was given. Sanctions from Zoran, Nouveauterra and Nalibia have already taken effect and are showing signs of weakening the Fauthurian economy slightly, as the sudden sanctions imposed, even by a few nations for now, are reaching far into already established processes of the country. Therefore, in a reactionary event, the government of Fauthur, mainly the congress, has urged Hafth to take a statement for the broader Esferos, and to take steps of preserving the economy. One bill is passed after the next almost in unison, as social reforms and environmental protection suffer in the light of stabilising the economy from coming sanctions. Preventive actions being taken. Now, on the midday of the 5th of the 3rd month of 1425, Hafth has once again spoken before the masses, before the greater eyes of Esferos, before leaders on their televisions and intelligence agencies, before Zoran spy satellites and all dissidents that care to watch and listen. “This hereby serves as an official statement from Kerglom Hafth, Head of Government, United Republics of Fauthur, democracy, national unity and unwavering loyalty.” Said his secretary and personal adivsor, Jenus Klett, as he stepped away from the microphone into the shadows of the much imposing flag banners hanging from the ceiling of the hall, making way for Hafth himself. “Hello citizens of Fauthur. With grave concern and misunderstanding, I hereby speak to you to present facts, rather than assumptions. Our situation on the economic front is turning bad due to unprecedented sanctions and embargoes from the countries of Zoran, Nouveauterra and Nalibia and more to follow. I tell you people, the democratic party stands for democracy, for a unified and honest Fauthur,” a brief pause before he continues to speak. “For a better world, future and diplomacy. These countries imposing sanctions on us, barring us from their economies, seizing our assets, is just aggression. Aggression without a base. They say we dump stuff into the ocean, only because the edict allows it. I assure you, we, as the people and government of Fauthur, have nought to do with such faceless and corporate controlled entities. We have done nothing wrong, we have abstained from doing anything to the oceans, to our precious waters, to the nature itself. The edict only says so for completeness, everything is stored in secure facilities on Fauthurian ground. And we for sure know, it’s the Aftokratorians, the Nalibians, the Nouveauterrans and the Zoranian people that accuse us of such vile acts, just to cripple our unity, our democracy and our economy. It is laughable that they have reports of Aftokratorian flagged vessels originating from our ports. We would never allow such vessels to enter our ports. We as the people, and I urge all of you, citizens of foreign lands, Fauthurian people, governments and other entities to see through their lies. To see, what they do to our country, to stand defiant against their warmongering practices and condemn and denounce their actions. For we have done nothing wrong. We have not officially, nor unofficially done anything to the pristine Esferosian water reserves, for we drink, for we fish, for we accumulate our precious resources from them. Thus, we won’t let them ruin our country. I say, let those sanctions come, let them defile our ways and truths, for we know, we are not doing anything wrong, we stand in defiance. Remember, for democracy, unity, and future!” As Hafth steps away, the crowd, captivated by his speech, is roaring, cheering and clapping. At the same time in the minister conference room, a resolution is drafted, a very own resolution, condemning the actions of embargoing nations on a faceless basis, lying to the public, in the name of democracy, closed to the public eyes and any technology, as it is written with pen and paper, sealed in a letter with a wax stamp and stowed away for future use.

Bureau du Président Citadelle de la République 1000 Rue Hautlieu Pointe-d’Espoir, Trebec 10000-01 République de Nouveauterre --- Transcription of Statement on Harmful Waste Dumping Activities in Viatic Ocean by President Guy Laclare March 3rd, 1425 The United Republics of Fauthur has begun operations to dump hazardous waste into the Viatic Ocean four days ago, according to intelligence shared with us and our own intelligence services. Ships bearing flags of different nations sailed out into international waters, and with the aim of dumping various waste materials in the ocean. It will take considerable time for waste material to drift towards the Nouveauterran coast, on the scale of years. However, this waste material will have catastrophic effects on ocean and human health. Ocean animals often die in direct contact with waste, and struggle to repopulate areas unless extensive cleaning is undertaken. Long term exposure to industrial waste in people can lead to birth defects, increased cancer risk, and overall health decline. The Nouveauterran government unequivocally condemns the dumping of industrial waste undertaken by the United Republics of Fauthur. Esferosians have known for decades that industrial waste must be properly contained in order to protect life. Here are the actions we will take in response to these activities: We support the Kingdom of Zoran, and the Empire of Nalibia, and levy sanctions against the United Republics of Fauthur. These sanctions include: the prohibition of the buying of industrial goods from Fauthur. The prohibition of money transfers involving government owned corporations and government actors involved in dumping, such as the Ministry of National and International Shipping. Lastly, the sanctioning of individual members of government who are integral to the dumping effort. These sanctions include escalator clauses. If the United Republics of Fauthur does not cease dumping activities, further sanctions will be implemented against wider parts of the economy. If the United Republics of Fauthur attempt to use retaliatory tariffs, government acts, and/or sanctions in order to pressure us or our partners into backing down on our policy, we will invoke more sanctions as well as the dissolution of diplomatic ties. A Working Group, composed of the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Homestead and Development, the Coast Guard, and the Ministry of the Navy, will be formed to monitor the situation continually. This Working Group will also perform research and generate plans of action for Nouveauterran communities as well as the government. Their reports, an impact projection, and a national action framework, will be released to the public when they are completed. The United Republics of Fauthur are a persistent trading partner with our nation. Sanctions will negatively affect both nations. But, these sanctions are necessary to show that such a relationship is meaningless if parties take actions that negatively impact the current and future health of one another. If the United Republics of Fauthur continue to dump waste in the ocean in spite of sanctions, we will discuss with our partners on whatever next course of action is necessary for health and national security. Un En Lute

The United Republics of Fauthur is breaking news this evening, as Kerglom Hafth, Head of the Fauthur Government has enacted an emergency edict to allow for unregulated industrial waste dumping into oceans not inside thier naval borders. The edict allows for any industrial waste, that means nuclear, textiles, colors, acids and non usable materials to be disposed of, offshore into the Viatic Ocean. Emperor Adebimpe Similola address the nation this evening stating, "We cannot stand idly by while the seas that cradle our lands are poisoned," he declared, "The actions of The United Republics of Fauthur are a blight upon the very essence of our shared world, and we must act to protect not only our own shores but the global ecosystem as a whole. It is water that gives us life, we depend on it not only for liesure on our lakes and beaches, but the very food it provides and the rain it carries over our lands." Empress Azaliah Tamar when asked, if other nations would support actions being taken against The United Republics of Fauthur. Responed, "The Kingdom of Zoran as enacted harsh sanctions against Fauthur, we plan to mirror these sanctions, and are calling on our allies and neighbors to collectively condemn the actions of The United Republics of Fauthur. Together, we will impose these sanctions with the full force of our combined economies. The United Republics of Fauthur will learn that there is a cost to their recklessness, and that the world will not tolerate their disregard for the sanctity of our oceans." Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan, was in the Imperial Press room to answer questions concerning both the impact of the sancions aginst Fauthur and the impact of such waste being dumped into our shared waters. Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "The health of our oceans is vital to the prosperity of Nalibia," she assured the crowd. "The sanctions are a necessary step to ensure the well-being of our citizens and the preservation of our planet's delicate balance." NBN (Nalibia Broadcast Network) Reporter: "Your Highness, how will these sanctions affect our economy? Won't the citizens of Nalibia suffer?" Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "While we anticipate some short-term challenges, we are a resilient nation. We have diversified trade partnerships and the wisdom of EUEI to guide us through this turbulent time. Our economy will adapt. The true cost would be the destruction of our environment and the health of our people, should we remain silent in the face of such egregious violations." INA (Imperial News Agency) Reporter: "What of the potential retaliation from Fauthur?" Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "Our empire has weathered storms before. We stand firm in our belief that our actions are just, and we will do whatever it takes to protect our lands and our people." IJ (Independant Journal) Reporter: "Your Highness, can you elaborate on the potential effects of Fauthur's waste dumping on Nalibia's coastline and ecosystem?" Imperial Queen Ammani Xianyuan: "The illegal dumping of industrial waste, including nuclear materials, will not only disrupt marine life but could lead to widespread contamination of our fishing grounds and coral reefs. The ocean is a delicate web of life, and if even one strand is torn, the entire ecosystem may unravel. The long-term effects are incalculable, but we do know that our citizens' health and livelihoods are at stake." Queen Ammani's expression grew solemn as she considered the gravity of the question. "The consequences can be dire, but it is important to remember. Fauthur has not yet dumped waste into the Viatic Ocean and most importantly, not into our gulf yet. We are merely making The United Republics aware of our stance and our willingness to take actions against their activites." Iruka: We will keep you informed of new developments on this, and other news affecting our great Empire.

Fauthur - 1st March 1425 News report Hafth to pollute the world seas? In a turn of recent events, Kerglom Hafth, Head of Government has enacted an emergency edict to boost the economy. The edict allows for unregulated industrial waste dumping into landfills and rivers, aswell as oceans not inside our naval borders, this allows for a safe disposal of industrial waste originating from the only nuclear power plant in Fauthur, which had to previously store all their waste on site in a contained zone, eroding the ground and water in the immediate vicinity. The edict also allows for any industrial waste, that means textiles, colors, acids and non usable materials to be safely and eagerly disposed of, offshore. The primary locations for safe waste disposal is in the vicinity of Aftokratorian land, aswell as the middle of the Viatic Ocean. Hafth himself said in a statement: […] Nonetheless, the disposal of such waste won’t make any difference in the already polluted oceans in Esferos. Courtesy of the power hungry industries of Doll Guldur and Aura, aswell as wanted pollution from Aftokratoria. […] We will not have to worry about waste for a long time, the edict remains active until stated otherwise. […] This will bring much needed revitalisation and freedom for expansion in Fauthur, as the reformation of garbage disposal service on a communal and stately level still remains in the works. It also allows us to empty our existing landfills, without having to burn that stuff. But for now, we will not just simply dump it in the ocean, it will be brought to a single landfill for alternative use. We will not be dumping anything into the oceans.[…] Glory to Fauthur! A good democracy needs a good industrial base. Wether this will have unforseen consequences we will see, as the first small groups of environmental protestors collect themselves in several cities. This is the first emergency edict Hafth has issued since the election. Fauthurian law states, that the Head of Government holds the power of up to 3 emergency edicts to be used during the period they are elected. Emergency edicts only underlay direct command from the Head of Government, and the congress doesn’t get to have a say about it. Mainly, emergency edicts are reserved for utmost emergency situations, during times of crisis and national emergency. It is bery unusual to be used in this situation, especially now that the Ministry of National Security regards Fauthur as stable as ever. Also interesting is the addition of two whole continents in his statement. Wether that was meant serious, or just as an underlining fake fact remains to be seen. The ministress of National Security, f, denounces the involvement of any continents or other countries and regions except aftokratoria in Hafth’s statement. As of now, a plethora of convoys consisting of large freighters make their ways towards the equatorial line of the Viatic ocean and the north of Aukera as part of the edict. The Ministry of Industry, Infrastructure and Public Transport responded with the publications of large industrial zones in the west of Fauthur, adding to the existing industries of car manufacturing, furniture textiles and packaged and conserved foods, also planned is the expansion of the Klemming-Werks, which are located in Crast. This is a large industrial zone responsible for manufacturing spare parts, tools, mechanical machinery and every imaginable small part and device. In other news, the great Gelcc Alligator has been caught. During the recent….

The monsoon would not let up, not even for the silent pleadings of the most powerful men in the crown colony of Ostronia. The pelting rain kept the windows of the governor's palace shut tight, preventing any evacuation of the thickening blue haze of cigar smoke in the governor's study. Four men puffed on cigars there: the governor, Solveig Vinterdal, pausing only from his puffing to sip on his whiskey; General Henrik Falkstrom, commanding officer over the entire colonial garrison, lounging luxuriantly in the armchair opposite the governor; Brigadier Tor Isakson, watching the rain with dread for his already well-inundated land on the Benue river; and General Erik Vaernes, the most recent of the four to arrive in Ostronia, appreciating the painting of Vitberg Castle hanging over the mantlepiece. "Herr Governor," Vaernes began, "might I thank you for the hospitality of your fine home and your finer cigars?" "My pleasure, General. Yes, it is true that the emperor grants me a lovely home to reside in, but he may as well have placed it at the end of Esferos," sighed Vinterdal, who longed badly to return to proper court life in Easthaven. Falkstrom twirled his moustache and nodded in agreement. Isakson, though Kalmachian by ancestry, had as an Ostronian settler never seen the fatherland nor particularly cared to think of the world beyond his farm. Vaernes, only two weeks removed from the politcs at staff headquarters and enticed by a new land and a new command, did not see Ostronia in the same lackluster light as the governor. "That said, Herr Governor, I see we three are military men, and we military men are typically too dull for social calls. May I ask your purpose in inviting us here, besides enjoying your tobacco?" "We are here to discuss threats to the security of the crown colony," Falkstrom, Vaernes' new superior, answered. "I have had opportunity to read through the reports, sir, and besides the possibility of another Ausa revolt I see very little to trouble us now," Vaernes said. "The troublies lie with you, Herr General," Isakson spoke, turning from the darkened window. "Not with you personally, of course, being as green as the jungle to this land you are. But with your native men." "I don't follow, Brigadier." "The civilized society we have built here in Ostronia," said Vinterdal, "relies upon the superiority of our Kalmachian arms and officers. We are outnumbered here, General, by a native population that would very well toss us right out of this mansion if it could. But knowing we have the machine gun, the artillery piece, the aeroplane and the discipline to resist such attempts, no one except the very foolish dares resist us." "With respect, Herr Governor, you have no reason to be concerned about my regiment. True, the native population may outnumber Kalmachians here in Ostronia, but the Native Rifles do not outnumber the rest of the garrison. I command but thirty thousand. The rest of the garrison, Kalmachians all, totals nearly seventy thousand. You have my men two to one." General Falkstrom pulled some papers from his breast pocket and set them on the coffee table. Vaernes recognized it immediately. After all, it bore his name and signature on the last page. It was a three-page memorandum, typed up and sent to Falkstrom's office with Vaernes' recommendations after reviewing the state of his regiment. Isakson strode over and snatched them up. "'One," he began reading, "I recommend that the Native Rifles incorporate native NCOs. There are too few Kalmachian NCOs to enforce discipline in the ranks.'" "Yes, those are my words. But I hardly see how a few native sergeants-" "'Two," Isakson continued. "I recommend that the Native Rifles be serviced with at least two heavy machine guns per company, and at least four to five light machine guns. To conduct modern warfare requires a sufficient volume of suppressing and covering fire and one heavy machine gun per company plus the company's bolt-action rifles is inadequate to sufficiently pin the enemy such that he can be maneuevered around and destroyed.'" "If there is a shortage of equipment, naturally equipment ought to be prioritized to our better-trained units-" "'Three," Isakson shouted over Vaernes, "I recommend that the Native Rifles incorporate at least one company of field artillery to powerfully support its infantry companies on the battlefield.'" He threw the papers back onto the table. "You are building an Ostronian army!" "I am doing my best to bring my soldiers to the standards of the Imperial Army," Vaernes argued. "And I should not have to be ridiculed by a junior officer like this, least of all an auxiliary brigadier who knows nothing of modern warfare!" "Have you ever even taken another man's life, Herr General?" Isakson stared him down. "Or have you been too busy in your books to learn how to really fight a war?" "Herr General," Vaernes pleaded towards Falkstrom, "please!" "That's enough, Brigadier," murmured Falkstrom. Isakson, after shooting one last glare at Vaernes, returned to sulking by the window. Vaernes finally understood why this conversation was not happening in Falkstrom's office. As his commanding officer, he had every right to deny all of Vaernes' requests all on his own. But Falkstrom had had Governor Vinterdal invite Vaernes here. Falkstrom wanted Vaernes and his dangerous ideas discredited in front of the governor by military men he already trusted. That way, Vaernes would not be able to lean on the governor for help with properly training and equipping his regiment. Falkstrom had probably even given the governor the line about Kalmachian arms and officers. But removing the governor's potential support for Vaernes' scheme would not be enough. Falkstrom had brought his attack dog Isakson along to shame Vaernes, to humiliate him with a more junior officer, an auxiliary cavalryman without any staff training at all, to prevent him from ever taking up such dangerous ideas again. Behind that white moustache and what Vaernes thought were dull, gray, senile eyes lurked a much slyer malevolence. He had not expected to have to tread as carefully here in Ostronia as he had in Easthaven. "I see the position you gentlemen have taken," Vaernes said tactfully, "and I respect the wishes of my superior officer." He stood up, gathered the pages of the memorandum, and fed them to the flames in the fireplace. All three appreciated his gesture, though ultimately it was a hollow one to Vaernes. He of course had only burned the general's copy, and the original was still at Vaernes' headquarters. He extinguished his half-finished cigar in the crystal ashtray. Governor Vinterdal winced at the waste. "All I will say in my defense, gentlemen, is that the empire cannot guarantee the security of all its domains all on its own. The time may soon come that we will have to rely on the natives to defend our colony here. And woe to us if we send a third of our force into battle unprepared." Vaernes left the governor's study with a perfectly drilled salute to his superior. Dashing out under umbrella to his car, he already knew there were at least some ways he could prepare his regiment without raising Falkstrom's ire. But what neither he nor any of them knew was that war was already on their doorstep. OOC: Kalmachian Order of Battle in Ostronia, Early 1341

And with me is everyone's favorite leader, Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah. How are you doing, your Highness? Can you tell us a little about this podcast? Arif: Hey everyone, peace out. Just call me Arif, man. This podcast is Jamal's idea. If you're wondering, we've been close friends since we were kids. We're like brothers, but from different worlds. So, this podcast is a new way for me to connect with you guys, whether you're from Arifiyyah or watching from around the world. You know Jamal, we young people are into this stuff. Even though I'm a leader, I'm still young and I want to do this. Jamal: Can you tell us more about your outfit today? Arif: Ah yes,this is like casual batik for holiday trip or something. Created by the Palace,designed by myself. I think we need to innovate our traditional wear into something modern but don't overdo. Like mine,simple yet cultured Jamal: So, your Highness, or I guess we can just call you Arif now, some of you might be wondering if this podcast is just for chatting? Nope, we'll be talking about your personal stuff, current events in the country, a bit of politics, and just having fun. We'll also invite other politicians and public figures to join us. Arif: Yeah, Jamal. So, for our first topic, why did you get kicked out of your party? (laughs) Jamal: Woah, that's a hot one. My answer is that it was the party's decision, so whatever. I've said it many times, I'm not pro-government, I just support what's right and fight what's wrong. My leader is just super jealous. Ten of my friends got kicked out too, so we're a gang now. 🤣 Arif: (Laughs) So what are your plans now? Jamal: Hmmm... Just doing podcasts, I think. I need a break from politics for a while. We can get back to playing basketball and badminton. What about you, anything exciting going on? Arif: As usual, a Sultan is never not busy. But yesterday, I visited the TARL national phase construction site with the Minister of Transportation. Alhamdulillah, in Arifiyyah, we expect the first six stations to be operational by the end of this year. I also had a meeting with our Chief Minister yesterday to discuss the 2025 budget, which will be presented soon. Jamal: (claps) That's our Sultan, always on top of his game. So, this episode has gone longer than we planned, huh? We just wanted to do a quick intro. So, that's it for today. Peace out everyone. Arif: Goodbye Arifiyyah, see you again in the next episode!

Part 1 Closing eyes attempted to focus on the road ahead of it, continually sucked beneath 18 wheels and 36 metric tons of freight and tractor. Gavs Urs kicked himself awake and looked at the time on the dashboard. Nearly 1800 hours. He was coming up on the end of his 10 hour limit for driving. He had to stop soon if he wanted to be on the right side of the law. The next town is just a couple clicks away the veteran said to himself, I just need to get there. Gavs kept his foot planted on the gas pedal, and stretched as many kinks as he could out of his arms and back. The orange and purple sky, the black road, and the khaki mountains in the distance was all Gavs could see. Until he saw a black dot in the distance. It’s another car. Maybe if I focus on it and the shrubs I can keep myself awake. The black dot grew in the road. It darted off the road and vanished. Gavs shook his head. A new black dot appeared in the distance. It was large in the road, but still just a blob. Then it vanished. Gavs slapped his face and aimed the AC vent at his face. Gavs looked to the bushes on the side of the road, and saw shoulders. They flowed in the little shadows of the shrubs and stones. Then they were on the road. Gavs twisted the steering wheel. He hit the brakes and punched the tall shifter with a soccer ball head. Eyes wide. Short sharp breaths with every whip of the wheel. Gavs body whipped inside the cabin. He screamed. The tractor and its trailer bounced on their tires and turned over. Screeches, sparks, and smoke rocketed out from the engine bay of the flat faced tractor. Soon the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. The cargo of food stuffs spilled onto the road and caught fire with the runaway diesel. As the sun descended in the sky, lights flashed and sirens roared in the distance. An officer of the Viriarma flew down the road and shouted into his radio, “I have a vehicle fire on state route 15 outside Antonville, requesting a highway fire unit. It looks like a tractor trailer just overturned.” --- Peritus Leon Boulanger stood beside his interceptor car, watching from a distance as the tractor and trailer became an inferno. Leon cleaned off his narrow nose, and took sand out from the sides of his squinted eyes. Dux Princeps Marcelle Cordonnier joined him. The old chief snorted with his large nose, and waved a cigarette by his large, gray mustache before lighting it. “Don’t say it,” Leon said, before taking off his hat to wipe the sweat from his forehead. “There is nothing that we can see from here that would cause a crash,” Marcelle said. “It has to be the chienoir.” Marcelle looked over at Leon. “That’s a xenoxeno myth,” Leon said. “You listen to too many fairy tales.” Leon fastened his hat to his head. “This is no fairy tale, Leon,” Marcelle said with a blank stare. “The chienoir is real. I’ve seen one myself. I would never wish it on my worst enemy.” A fire engine came to a halt nearby with only its lights flashing. Fire fighters jumped out and gathered together. “Write down what you can,” Marcelle said. “Get some cones from the shack and tape it off. I have to email High Crimes so they can send an Auto Repertor. Three crashes in only a couple days is going to raise some red flags, especially a food truck like this one.” Leon started walking towards his patrol interceptor and opened the door. “I’m coming in tomorrow, right?” Leon said. Marcelle stopped in his tracks. “Yes, Nauta’s surgery was just cleared,” Marcelle said. “Hopefully the poor bastard’s shoulder will be back to normal. If not, then we’re going to be pulling long days again.” “I’ll say a prayer for him,” Leon said. “See you then.” Marcelle entered the command car and drove off at high speed. Leon got into his interceptor and began typing on the laptop planted where the car radio would be. Leon looked up from his laptop towards the blaze. Firefighters got to work cutting away nearby brush, and hitting burning cardboard boxes with foam. A figure stood behind them. A dog, with its head held high. Leon blinked. The dog vanished. He looked back at his laptop and continued typing, shielding the road from sight using his hat.

Hello, I am Iruka Alaba and I will be taking you on a short tour of Cyro this evening; to get you ready for the up coming Royal Ball. The staff of the royal palace, are diligently preparing for the highly anticipated Royal Ball. It will be the first time in over a decade that the Palace of Sheva has hosted, and Queen Culela is personally overseeing the preparations for the event; which is now less than 2 weeks away. It is not only the palace personal whom are getting ready for the Ball, but what seem like the entire city of Cyro. "Guest are expected to begin arriving some time next week, and we are ready to welcome them to, the greatest City in Nalibia," said Nwanneka a local antiquity dealer. One of the many places our guest will be sure to visit is the Cyro Grand Bazaar; where they will surely find treasures of handwoven textiles, gleaming jewelry, and intricate ceramics along with exotic fruits and spices. Boasting a history that spans over five centuries, the Cyro Grand Bazaar is a Shopper's Paradise. Walking into the Grand Bazaar is like stepping into a different world. As you pass through the grand entrance, you'll find yourself immersed in a maze of narrow alleyways, each teeming with vibrant shops and eager shopkeepers. The bazaar is divided into various sections, each specializing in specific types of goods, from jewelry and textiles to ceramics and spices. Navigating the labyrinthine alleys is part of the adventure, and you never know what hidden gem you might stumble upon around the next corner. While the guest are here, it should be a crime for them to not stop at one of Cyro's bathhouses. If you haven’t yet heard of hammam, you are bound to soon. This treatment makes itself known around the world for being a relaxing and cleansing Nalibian ritual that is centuries old. Hammam differs slightly from the traditional thermal spa. While both are profoundly relaxing and good for the skin, rather than using thermal waters, hammam treatments use hot steam to encourage a deep and invigorating cleanse. Many hammam treatments also use vitamin-E rich, olive-based soap known for its skin-nourishing and exfoliating properties. Additionally, some treatments may include rhassoul clay, an antibacterial mineral that effectively and safely removes toxins and impurities from the body, reduces sebum and tightens pores. The tradition of bathing is an integral part of Nur culture, often taking place in beautiful old bath-houses. Bathing is as much a place to gather and talk, as it is a place to relax and clean yourself. While there is no right or wrong way to enjoy the bath area, the traditional use involves alternating between hot and cold. After showering, it is recommended that guests go from the hot tub to the cold pool, starting with our hot tub or mugwort herbal bath which typically range from 103 to 109 degrees Fahrenheit. For guests with a scheduled body scrub service, it is recommended that they soak in one of these tubs for at least 10 minutes prior to their service time. Soaking in hot water not only softens the skin to make the exfoliation process easier, but also maximizes the effectiveness of the cleansing treatment by opening your pores. While both are popular, the hammam is often favored because of its use of steam over water. Steam does wonders for softening skin, relaxing the mind, and opening the pores for a deep cleansing experience. Get your cameras ready because we're embarking on a journey through the greenest botanical gardens on the planet. Plants are great. You know it, we know it, everybody knows it. And this is the best place to see them. These gardens are a feast for the senses and a haven for plant lovers everywhere. With many of city's garden's being more than 160 years old, Cyro's Botanical Gardens has it all. Those searching for a little peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of our city would do well to spend a few hours at one of its verdant oasis. Lastly but not at all the least, what city would be complete without Museums and Art galleries, to truly tell the history of our nation and capture the imagination of our guest. With over 100 Museums and Art galleries there is no shortage of inspiring material for history buffs and artist alike. At the Age of Discovery Museum, guest can savor the full Museum experience. With enough exhibits to take two days to immerse yourself in everything the campus has to offer. Or you can visit the Royal Gallery with over two hundred exhibitions to admire and spend the whole day immersed in works from around the world. Senay Automotive is one of this year sponsors. Headquartered in Wassouta, Sheva Province; Senay has donated several Orishas IV vehicles; to chauffeur the guest around the city during their visit. Though we have covered many activities and sites, Cyro has much more to offer from; lively nightclubs to quite hookah lodges, high-end restaurants to local dives and diners, and many other locations for families and guest of all ages. It is with great pleasure that your host Queen Culela and Prince Chufu, offer all guest personal transportation in the Senay Orishas IV luxury vehicle, provided by Senay Automotive. We hope to see you soon. More info on the Province of Sheva

13 August, 1424 - Today the Internet Rights Amendment failed to pass in the Iyunadai with the Red Throne Party voting against the amendment along with the Talon League coalition. Chancellor Yenuha Aditsi had this to say on this matter, "It is a shame that the Internet Rights Amendment was rejected by the Iyunadai, it would have brought great change to the people of Zoran in providing them basic access to information in an age of globalization." When asked about if he had any insight as to why the Red Throne Party might have voted against the amendment, he had this to say, "I do not believe that the lawmakers of the Red Throne party are against the idea of the Internet Rights Amendment, on the contrary I was under the impression that a majority of them are very much in favor of enshrining internet rights into the Zoranian constitution. But from what I have heard among the lawmakers of the party, they want to collaborate with the Pirate Party to re-write the proposed amendment and make it more defined and robust in its protections. What they mean by this I cannot say, but it would be safe to assume that the Internet Rights Amendment is far from dead." Agasga Florius of the Pirate Party and Degotoga Atawodi of the Red Throne Party refused to comment on the situation at this time. The public reaction to this ruling has been mixed with some saying that this was an disappointing decision by the lawmakers while others praise it believing that the proposed amendment was not properly thought out. Others praise the decision believing that access to the internet is not a human right and that the lawmakers acted wisely in rejecting the amendment.

The Deep Dive An ONRP Radio Series presents June 4th, 1425 The Six Pillars A Deep Dive into Nouveauterran Political History and the Future Hosted by Yorick Van Der Beek and Dawood Van Rees Chapter 1: The Foundation YORICK: Nouveauterra is at a major crossroads unlike anything it has faced ever before. New found attention from hosting the Esferos Economic Expo, intervention in the Candelu Civil War to the north, spearheading the expansion of the GECA, and combining efforts with other leaders for ocean protection while trying to expand undersea mining and industry. DAWOOD: The nation’s parties now have a complex task of balancing the desires of the people, the government’s in-built expertise, and the nation’s resources towards a better future. At the heart of this effort are the six political parties which work to make their mark on the nation and in history. YORICK: The parties cover a broad swath of ideologies. Les Gens des Collines want a higher level of regional and personal autonomy from the government, while La Ligue Populaire wants a more comprehensive government safety net and an expansion of government control over certain markets, like food or medicine. Le Parti de la Patrie has openly stated that they want to reduce the number of foreign worker and student visas to, “promote domestic prosperity,” and that social safety nets are a net negative to society. Although these parties have few representatives, their presence has influenced les forces majeures, conservative Ligue de l'Accord, and liberal La Sécurité Sociale. DAWOOD: Before we begin this series in ernest, we need to establish important context for why these political parties are structured the way they are, and how laws dating back to La Guerre Civil still play out today. History YORICK: La Guerre Civil tore the country apart with bloodshed and chaos from 1254 to 1259. The Roues and the Lyonnaires came to a mutual peace in 1259 on Ile des Sirènes. As part of that peace, the political parties that had been a part of the social order before the war were legally disbanded. New parties could form, but the many positions of government that were used as prizes for political support were professionalized under Le système professionnel de l'État civil, better known as the civil service system. These political parties were also mandated to publicly disclose their financing, since the Lyonnaires had used the war chest of the République Démocratique party to fund their revolution. And the proverbial cherry on top; political parties would be legal to form in the year 1290. The peace planners believed that maybe if everyone who participated had passed away, the old grudges would go with them too. DAWOOD: All of these factors would contribute to a tumultuous time known as The Party-less Era. The Party-less Era YORICK: Some believe that political parties being banned meant the death of organized politics. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Secret parties formed throughout the country, attempting to influence voting and politics through covert activities, organizing, and in some cases murder. The time between 1260 and 1300 would see many political actors and careers rise and fall. Because of the secret nature of these parties, we can only gleam so much. But here are some parties and activities we do know about. One of the first secret parties to form was Der Jägerbund, or The Hunting Party. The Hunting Party formed in a hunting lodge in the state of Pics Rouges near the end of 1260. They were made up of former revolutionaries who had escaped imprisonment. They formed under the belief that the way to political power was through subversive actions. The Hunting Party would attempt this for years, by aligning themselves with local politicians in the areas of the old revolution. They gained followers in Pics Rouges, Champvert, Ferme, and Mare de Sang through public speeches, forums, and their most popular pamphlet, The Voice of Reason. This included business people, representatives, and local people. Their actions culminated in a deadly clash in 1262 with a siege of the Pics Rouges Regnal House, where nearly 84 people died, and 102 were wounded. The Hunting Party survivors were prosecuted the subsequent year and sentenced to death as rebels. DAWOOD: Another revolution-aligned party was The Brotherhood, formed in 1261. Although they’d have similar goals as The Hunting Party, they attempted to stay covert for a much longer span of time. Their efforts were discovered by the government in 1263, and led to the first use of an undercover investigator in the nation’s history. The investigation, lasting from 1263 to 1264, uncovered a wide spanning conspiracy to infiltrate the Viriarma, the national police service, and seize power by force. Many conspirators were arrested in late 1264, with most being sentenced to prison. Some were spared as witnesses, while others fled the country to nations like Saint Mark, and Mediobogdum. In contrast to these revolutionary parties was a secessionist group known as The Great Horn. The Great Horn consisted of Danav veterans of the Guerre Civil, and revolutionaries, who believed they had an opportunity to break away from the nation. This was based on the depleted military, with a cash-poor government, and weak territorial control of law enforcement. The Great Horn would coalesce in 1261, and started to make political moves in the ensuing years. YORICK: Although their original aim was secession, they were intercepted by another group, The League of the Oath. The League of the Oath formed at the beginning of 1260, and were composed of generals, government administrators, and like-minded business people. All of them were unified in one mission; destruction of revolutionary thought in Nouveauterra. They had fought in an official capacity against the revolution, but wanted to, “Continue the efforts of national unity beyond the warfront.” DAWOOD: The League of the Oath would use the different offices of government, both through official and unofficial means, to continually undermine the forces that still believed in the revolutionary ideals. Raids on tea houses, extrajudicial killings, and scheming that hamstrung many groups, like The Brotherhood and The Hunting Party. The League of the Oath and The Great Horn are connected, because they would cut a deal in 1268. The deal meant that The Great Horn would stop its secessionist activities, but they would help The League of the Oath in clamping down on secessionists and revolutionaries in the countryside. In return, The League would fight to pass expanded civil rights for the Danav people. YORICK: The two parties, through this deal, would work together towards national unity, and by the 1270s would become the dominant forces in political culture. Wherever secessionist, or revolutionary forces would spring up, the two parties, historically referred to as The National Compact, would squash them down. DAWOOD: The National Compact would operate throughout the 1270s to the 1290s without much interference. The League of the Oath would indeed keep their promises, and assisted in passing land development in Danav areas, as well as civil rights legislation throughout this time. Their pamphlet, La Colombe, was circulated in daily and weekly papers like Le Crieur de Gue, and L'Examinateur Quotidien, to instill republican ideology into the people who read it. This political force would start to lose power by the end of the 1290s. Multiple changes in government, and a new political movement of Responsible Republicans would see the ouster and arrest of League politicians. The Responsible Republicans, born out of racial animosity towards foreign people and Danav people, gathered into a coherent movement by 1296. They were opposed to the rights given to Danav people, such as easier access to voting, land grants and land banks, as well as new developments such as expanded telegraph lines and train routes. The Responsible Republicans’ biggest achievements from 1296 to 1315 were undoing the work of The National Compact, and causing a split in its two constituent parts. YORICK: This long era culminated in The Special Committee on Subversive Organized Groups forming in 1298. The Committee, held in the Upper Assembly, would officially investigate the secretive parties, both for historical purposes, and to get a better sense of their contemporary situation. DAWOOD: The Committee would eventually identify 39 different political parties that had formed and/or disbanded between 1260 and 1298. Some parties were just a handful of people, while others like The League of the Oath would boast over 400,000 official members, at a time when the nation’s population was just cresting 2.5 million people. YORICK: With this context laid out, we can dive into the individual parties that exist today, starting with the oldest; La Ligue de l'Accord.
