From the Office of The Crimson King
July 15, 2023  
 
 
 
 

Special Statement of The Crimson Order

The Crimson Order has offered the services of The College of Cardinals, in their authority of Inquisition, to serve as Justices of the Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice of the region The United Federation of Planets. 

The College of Cardinals, lead by Regent Elegarth, will take on the additional title of "Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice" when The United Federation of Planets has need of Judicial services. Hearings would be by Tribunal, under the legal code of The United Federation of Planets, as cases are referred by the Federation Council.

The Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice is defined in Chapter XIV: The Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice, Articles 92 through 96 of The Charter of The United Federation of Planets. Under the Federation Charter, The Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice shall be the principle judicial instrument of the United Federation of Planets. And All members of the United Federation of Planets are parties to the statute of the Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice.
The members of The College of Cardinals are thereby each granted the title of Justice of The Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice of The United Federation of Planets.

Justice Elegarth, (Regent and Cardinal of Imperial Dragons)
Justice The Holy Principality of Saint Mark, (Cardinal Confessor of Moral Obligations)
Justice Yy4u, (Cardinal of the Eternal Dungeons)
Justice Bhang Bhang Duc, (Cardinal of the Most Evil)
Justice Wickedly Evil People, (Cardinal Protector of The West)
Justice Mediobogdum, (Cardinal Mediator of All Things)
Justice Darkesia, (Cardinal of Chocolate Righteousness)

The College of Cardinals with over 100 years of combined NationStates experience also continues to provide Judicial services to Equilism. As an independent Judiciary, The College of Cardinals is able to provide a Judicial service that may be expensive in terms of human resources for some regions to maintain, when such a service is rarely necessary.

July 15, 1423
New Zoradia, Zoran
12:10 AM Overtime
“The Tlanowa is not mortally wounded and should recover, they are currently resting after surgery.” said the guard over the phone. Yenuha and Yonaguska let out a relieved sighs at the news,
“Thank you, keep visitors to a minimum and security high. Do not let the Tlanowa near any windows and keep information about their condition top secret for now.” ordered Yenuha,
“Understood, sir.”
Upon putting the phone down, Yonaguska ran a hand down his face and fell back into a chair,
“Thank the Great Spirit that we don’t have to deal with the fallout of a successful assassination.” said Yonaguska,
“Yes, but we still have to catch the person behind this. As soon as we let news of Adsila’s condition reach the public the assassin will likely strike again.” said Yenuha as he takes a bottle of rum out of a liquor cabinet and pours himself and Yonaguska a glass. But before either of them could take a sip Yenuha’s phone started to ring. With a groan, Yenuha checked who it was from Director of Communications, Awinita, and answered the call,
“He-”
“Pull up the news, now!” barked Director Awinita.
Yenuha gave a worried look at Yonaguska before having Yonaguska pull up the RNN’s live news broadcast. When the video loaded, they saw General Waholi speaking to the reporters at the entrance of the house.
“While Her Majesty’s condition and her assassin is unknown to us. However, we have strong suspicions that the perpetrator was an operative from the commie Fujansk government with support from the socialist groups in Zoran. We believe that the fujansk and the socialists seek to destabilize our nation through the assassination of our beloved Queen…”
Yenuha slammed his fist down on the desk,
“That bastard!” he exclaimed, “I knew he should have been put under watch!”
“This is not good, we just started to recover from the Kalmach affair and now this!” groaned Yonaguska,
“Awinita, what’s your plan for dealing with this?” asked Yenuha,
“First, I am going to need you to get him off the air!” answered Awinita, “Only then can I organize a press conference to express our apologies and clear up the misinformation spread by Waholi. How you deal with the Fujansk and the socialists is on you.”
“Alright, I will see what I can do. Keep me posted.” said Yenuha before hanging up and turning to Yonaguska, “Come on, let’s get Waholi out of the spotlight.”
 
July 15, 1423
New Zoradia, Zoran, Scene of the Crime
12:10 AM Overtime
An old, rusted, and beaten up car rumbles down the street towards the crime scene with an older man behind the wheel. As he reaches the barricade he is stopped by an officer of the Agency of National Security,
“Sir, you must turn around and take a detour, the road ahead is blocked off. Civilians are forbidden from entering the crime scene.” said the officer,
“Oh well, sir, eh I’m a police officer,” he says as he digs into his rumpled raincoat and pulls out his badge and ID, “Lieutenant Golivmiwo, NZPD. I was told I would be allowed to investigate the crime scene.”
The officer looks over the identification to verify the identity of the lieutenant,
“Oh, apologies Lieutenant. We were told to expect an officer from the NZPD but you don’t look like a police officer.”
“Oh it’s no problem, sir, I get that a lot.”
“Right this way then, you can park up here.”
Lieutenant Golivmiwo is then escorted by the officer to a parking space and is taken to the scene of the crime. The place where the queen’s body is laid has been outlined with tape and a group of agents are gathered around the area.
“This is where it happened, lieutenant. But this is about as good as we can get because we think the bullet is in the Queen’s body. So we won’t know much until we get details fro-” he stopped as he looked over at the lieutenant who is holding a cigar in one hand and patting around his body with the other,
“Hey, uh, do you have a match?” Lieutenant Golivmiwo asks the officer,
“No, I don’t smoke. Are you paying attention, Lieutenant?”
“Yes sir.” he says before walking up to another officer, “You got a match?” he asks again, before proceeding to ask nearly every officer on the platform until someone finally has a lighter and helps him light his cigar. He then walks around the scene, observing the outline of the body before squatting down next to it. He turns to look at the officer that had been speaking to him,
“Hey er uh, you don’t happen to have the bullet do you?”
“No!” he exclaims, “I knew you weren’t listening.” he says with a sigh,
“Well uh, I think I may have found it.”
The officer looks at him in disbelief,
“What? Where?” he says and two other officers join him in walking over to where the lieutenant is.
“You see that little hole in the floorboards there,” he says while gesturing to the hole with his cigar, “If you look closely you can see splintering around the hole and at the right angle you can see a glint of what looks like metal deeper in the hole.”
“How did we miss this?” says the officer in disbelief,
“I don’t know sir, you tell me.” he says with a smile, “Can someone from ballistics try and figure out where the bullet may have been fired from before we analyze it?” he says to other officers around him. From there the lieutenant gets up and hums the old nursery rhyme, This Old Man, to himself as he walks off and seemingly inspects the horizon from the platform.

Medieval Age: Post-Imperial Lavandula
Following the final Lavandulan emperor's assassination in 209 BF, most of the imperial provinces continued as independent states, aside from those in the periphery that were abandoned by the Lavandulans after invasions from foreign peoples. However, these independent states came to be known by their respective capital cities' names rather than the previous province names from the Empire. There were eight of them immediately after the Empire's fall: Lungchen (replacing Uryde/Lavandula as the capital), Kyené, Nyatsem, Gyamuksa, Pelkarma, Sisumara, Chusin and Dewajön. The period immediately after the fall of the Empire was unfortunate for the Lavandulan population, stuck in a time of insecurity about the civilization's future and bad quality of life, alongside frequent wars between the newly-independent states. 
Over the next century, the situation became slightly better, as some of the initial post-Lavandulan states solidified themselves while others fell into turmoil. The Grand Duchy of Lungchen explored some lands to the west of the Muk-lung River that had been lost by the empire in the Western Invasion two centuries before, but in 159 BF it also lost all lands east of the Dzé-lung River to the rising Principality of Dazang, with which it also partitioned the lands of the fallen Principality of Kyené after 107 BF. In the south, the states of Gyamuksa and Nyatsem united into a single realm in 132 BF, the Duchy of Torikang (later Duchy of Andamusha), which sought to defend itself from any possible attack from its powerful neighbors. One of the ways to improve its defense was to create alliances, which it achieved with the southern Marquisate of Pelkarma, a realm that gained prominance after annexing in 99 BF its neighbor Sisumara to the east. 

Major Lavender Island polities and cultures in 85 BF, the start of the Classical Era of Abrento.
After a period of relative peace, a 35 AF coup in the Principality of Dazang started new turmoil in Lavandula, when the sitting prince Shenyen was overthrown by his younger brother Norbu, which wanted to restore the Lavandulan Empire and convinced the military to back him. Norbu's son Ngawang renamed his title to emperor, and started a plan to conquer Lungchen to the west, declaring war in 67 AF and eventually winning the conflict in 89 AF in order to proclaim the restored Lavandulan Empire. Ngawang's son Lobzang was very skilled in diplomacy and managed to incorporate the other states by the year of 116 AF, becoming the ruler of an united Lavandula, and then passed down the crown to Chöpel (ruled 132-154 AF).
However, this brief reunification came to an end four years after Chöpel's heir Palden came to power, with several of the previous states rebelling when Palden sought to suppress their benefits that had been given under the reunited Empire by Lobzang. The year of 166 AF therefore marked the end of this restoration, when the siege of Dazang was concluded and Palden was killed in his palace. The core area of Dazang fell into smaller realms, and the Grand Duchy of Lungchen returned to power as the strongest realm in Lavandula, although it was kept in check by the newly-formed Grand Duchy of Chusin, formed from the lands of Chusin and Dewajön. 
In the 3rd century AF, Lungchen faced some breakaway states, losing its southern lands to a restored Principality of Kyene in 229 AF, which annexed the small successor states of Dazang and started to threaten its former overlords with support from the southern realms, before the grand dukes managed to reestablish control. After the rebellions ended in 263 BF, consequences then arrived for those states that had supported the turmoil, such as the Duchy of Andamusha and the County of Pelkarma, which were effectively turned into vassal states. Tensions were only eased when independence was granted to the southern realms as a concession in 321 AF, who unified into a single state called the Grand Duchy of Jampelsa.
A significant turning point in the medieval Lavandulan history would come in 339 AF, when the Abrentans reached the Dzé-lung river and established contact with the Lavandulans. The ensuing trade would greatly improve the situation of the Grand Duchy of Jampelsa, whose Violetist missionaries also took the task of traveling south to Abrento and converting the population, which was a success. Around this time, relations between the grand dukes of Lungchen and Jampelsa improved, with the apex of this friendship being when they decided to turn on their eastern neighbors in the Grand Duchy of Chusin and partition it among both realms in 372 AF.
This alliance was not to last, however, since the grand dukes of Lungchen grew envious of the prosperity that those of Jampelsa had earned due to the trade with the Abrentans. The opportunity to declare war presented itself on the year of 426 AF, when rebellions started in the Abrentan Republic, and the conflict between the two Lavandulan states only ended three decades later in 452 AF with a stalemate. Lungchen once more declared war in 473 AF and initially was close to winning, but a turn of the tide happened and the invaders lost their territory east of the Shar-lung, giving the Grand Duchy of Jampelsa sea access in 495 AF.
Unfortunately, the main consequence of these conflicts was the weakening of both states, which would soon face many rebellions and break into smaller states starting from 530 AF. While these states fought between each other, the Lavandulan civilization was in danger, because other cultures in Lavender Island sought to take over the weakened and warring states' territories, resulting in the complete loss of the lands east of the Shar-lung soon after.
Only in 571 AF one of the rulers, Tsering from the city of Langpo, proposed a new idea—to unite the remaining polities and eventually seek an union with the friendly Abrentans to the south. The Lavandulan Alliance was formalized soon after, but when Abrento also ceased to be unified, the solution was for the Lavandulans to back an Abrentan general called Giovanni, who founded the Giovannian Domain in 589 AF in the crossroads between the two civilizations while there were various other rebellions across Abrento. The help was important for the domain to unify all of the Abrentans by 648 AF, after which it incorporated the alliance that same year, in exchange for Lavandulan influence in the governing of the new state.

Driver's bio: Ari Dasher, age 28, is probably the most technically gifted driver in Aura, and possibly the world. There doesn’t seem to be a turn or grade that he can’t handle. He was born for the Lux Litore, where he has spent most of his time since he began racing at the age of 18. If he has a flaw, it is in his almost gentlemanly approach to his competitors, making him sometimes lose ground on the straightaway. Given his signature style and black hair and blue eyes, he seems to be a negative image of his twin brother, Celerio. Driver #2 Name: Celerio Dasher Name Trigram: CDR Nationality Trigram: SMK Preferred Car Number: 9 Second Choice Car Number: 27 Reliability (Between 2 and 5): 4 Aggression (Between 2 and 5): 5 Technique (Between 2 and 5): 3 R/A/T ratings should add up to a maximum of 12. Driver's bio: Although certainly not reckless, the blond-haired, brown-eyed Celerio Dasher, age 28, exhibits little of the technical aptitude of his twin brother, Ari, preferring instead to aggressively push his way past his competition. Although quite familiar with the Lux Litore, he has spent much more time than his brother racing around the world. If a course has a long, straight section, chances are he’ll create the space needed to finish first.

Info: 
The circuit includes some of the most famous parts of any F1 racetrack: Casino Square, the tunnel section and the blisteringly fast Swimming Pool section, to name three.
Austra's tight, twisty and punishing circuit is considered the ultimate test of driver talent. While the car vs. driver debate has lingered as long as racing has existed, Austra is perhaps the one place above all others where a driver can make the key difference. As such, Austra's qualifying session is often one of the best, most intense and most important of the season. A qualifying lap around the ancient city is about as unforgiving as they come.
A drawback of the nature of the circuit, and F1's increasingly wider cars, is that the race tends to be more processional, with overtaking all but impossible at the majority of locations.

Result from the Semi-Final Match at Posadka Stadium: Dalimbar 13 - Cambria 03
In Dalimbari rugby, there is a tradition amongst rival teams where after the match, the captains share a drink. The match could have been a brutal grind or a complete roll-over, but both sides would send their captains after the match to shake hands and toast to their sides. 
Rugby has a following in Cambria, but for the Dalimbari squad, they did not know if that tradition was common with the Cambrians. Everything seemed... odd with that place. They can be so familiar yet so foreign at the same time. Although the Free State has often had difficult relations with their neighbour, as part of the various memoranda floating between the two around the hosting of the games and to prevent a boycott, Lev Toksin, the Chair of the Department of Sports made a note to Stavka that an... enhanced version of the tradition could take place.
The match between Dalimbar and Cambria as a textbook example of high quality rugby. The Cambrians were able to score an impressive 40m drop goal while the Dalimbari side made a penalty kick and two tries, both scored by Captain Luka Ivica. Noted as "the fastest legs in rugby", Captain Ivika directed his team to maximize flanking maneuvers along with speedy passing and reflexes. Yet, the Cambrians were a strong-and-stubborn wall. 
Post-match, while the Dalimbari squad were celebrating in their changing rooms, Captain Ivika received a buzz on his phone. It was his signal to start head upstairs to meet with the uppity-ups of the Free State, but first he had to go down to the basement for a quick minute.
The captain, still in his kit, managed to grab a case of premium Dalimbari Jewel vodka where wearing... a kilt and cleats, and seemingly nothing else. Square jaw. Some strange tattoo on the left side of his chest. This must be the Cambrian captain, Hadleigh Neal.
"Good match, Cambrian!" Ivika said first in Dalimbari, and then realizing that he was not understood, said again in a very accented Common.
"Good match. Congratulations." replied Neal. 
"Thank you! I bring you a gift, a bit of Dalimbari tradition I hope you enjoy!" Ivika said, grinning as he presented the crate of vodka to the Cambrian captain.
The Cambrian must have said something in his native tongue but presented a similar sized case of Old Toby beer. He motioned to open the crate and grabbed a bottle of beer. 
"Oh, good idea, Cambrian! We in Dalimbar usually finish a match with a drink, I'm glad to see you do as well!" 
The captains took several swigs of each others choice liquor, finally relaxing after a long game. Although, it was not over for both of them, for they both had their final matches coming up. However for both squads, this perhaps was the biggest match they've had in a while.

Press Statement by the Chiefdoms of External Affairs and Public Affairs
On behalf of Stavka we would like to report the following:
Field Command of the Administrative Districts "Yugodalia" reports that the incident involving the Gabsikovo Power Plant is under control and that residents are free to leave their places of residence. 25 hostile-class members has been detained and the power plant is at 75% output at this time. We look forward to the match between the Free State against United Adaikes. Our Marshal and the President of United Adaikes will be watching the match together from the Marshal's box at Garrison. We are pleased with the success of the state dinner between the Free State, the Kingdom of Giovanniland, and the Holy Principality of Saint Mark. The leaders had a pleasant discussion on the state of affairs of their countries, cultural similarities and differences, and discussed trade relations. We look forward to strengthening trade relations between these strong economies through export of raw materials (including rare earth minerals) from the Free State in exchange for consumer goods and other resources. Embassies between the Free State and the two monarchies are to be established to increase dialogue. We remain concerned about the state of affairs in the Nur continent and will be monitoring the situation. 

A week before the Gold Medal Match...
Lev Toksin, Chair of the Dalimbar Department of Sports, received an email from World Rugby in Common:
Toksin was not surprised, well, now, upon receiving the email. He was informed informally during one of the press conferences in the latter part of the Group Stage for media buildup of the Knock-outs stage.
The Chair of the Department of Sport of Dalimbar called his secretary to present the necessary contingencies during a significant weather event or natural disaster and the composition of a crisis committee to discuss whether the Gold Medal Match could proceed. Another contingency plan was created to cater to a hypothetical scenario where anti-Dalimbari militants can breach the capital of Dalimbar, where the Gold Medal Match will be held.
He quietly read the contents of the contingency plan, nodded on specific statements, and returned the documents to his secretary, giving his approval ten (10) minutes after reading them.
Toksin then picked up a paper protruding from the folder designated by his secretary as "RWC4 Gold Medal Match Updates":
Two days before the Gold Medal Match…
Toksin has received the lineup of the two teams playing in the Gold Medal Match. He called his secretary to create copies of the submitted lineups to be distributed to the World Rugby, the Union da Rugby, and the local and international press.
Toksin also wanted to reproduce copies and inform the ones needing information on the time set for each team's Captain's Run tomorrow. A Captain's Run is a training session led by the team captain rather than a coach. The United Adaikes national team is advised to be in the Garrison Stadium by 8:30 AM, with the Captain's Run running from 9 to 10 AM. The media will be allowed inside the Garrison Stadium from 9:30 to 10:30 AM, with the last 30 minutes being an on-site interview with the team, leaving the stadium by 11:30 AM. The Dalimbar national team is advised to be in the Garrison Stadium by 2:30 PM, with the Captain's Run running from 3 to 4 PM. The media will be allowed inside the Garrison Stadium from 3:30 to 4:30 AM, with the last 30 minutes being an on-site interview with the team, leaving the stadium by 5:30 AM.
Toksin also wanted his secretary to coordinate with the Venue Manager to update him on the latest for the pitch painting and necessary touch-ups for the pitch. He also needed to know if the VIPs attending the Gold Medal Match were already designated seats in order of precedence. The Marshall and the President of the United Adaikes have also confirmed their attendance at the Gold Medal Match.
A day before the Gold Medal Match…
Toksin sent an email regarding the time and venue of the pre-match meeting for the Gold Medal Match. The meeting participants needed to be in Press Room 8 by 1:30 PM tomorrow are the Venue Manager, the Venue Security Manager, the Match Press Officer, the Ball Boy/Girl Manager, the Match Day Doctor, the PA Announcer/DJ, and the Broadcast Production Manager.
He also asked his secretary to update him on the status of the national anthems, the flags, the match balls, and the official Gold Medal Match bibs for all involved personnel. He also asked his secretary to coordinate with the Broadcast Production Manager, ensuring that the match footage of the Gold Medal Match should be ready to be disseminated to each team and the World Rugby an hour after the final whistle.
Toksin has already disseminated to all who needed the information that the Dalimbar national team will be on the left side of the pitch and the United Adaikes national team on the right side. This applies to technical zones, coaches seating, changing room allocation, warm-up area pre-match, position for anthems, flag flying, and any other decision requiring team positions. The medical room, the Anti-Doping Room, and the Match Officials' room are also already assigned.
The day of the Gold Medal Match
12:30 PM, four hours to kick-off
Garrison Stadium
Toksin had an early lunch and arrived an hour before the pre-match meeting. He ordered his secretary to release ten (10) match balls to the Ball Boy/Girl Manager. He visited the Broadcast Production Room and told the staff that he looked forward to an excellent broadcast of the Gold Medal Match of the 4th Rugby World Cup. He then went to the PA box and talked with the PA announcer for some casual talk, ensuring midway that the PA announcer already had the anthems of the two national teams.
Three hours to kick-off…
Everyone else was already in Press Room 8 when Toksin arrived for the pre-match meeting. After welcoming and introducing all participants in the meeting, he talked about the system of work during the Gold Medal Match, especially in the decision-making process and the procedure in the event of a match running over time.
The Venue Security Manager reported about the initial venue inspection of the Venue Security Team and the number and location of key security personnel.
The Broadcast Production Manager reported that by 3:00 PM, the live broadcast would start, showing everyone the location of all cameras in Garrison Stadium, including lipstick cameras in the change/dressing rooms of the teams. The Match Press Officer reported the number of accredited international media expected, with the presence and rights of non-licensed broadcasters, as well as the venue of the Media Center.
By the end of the report of the Broadcast Production Manager, Toksin was informed by his secretary that the Match Referee Sreten Blizzakov from Hertfordshire and Jammbo had arrived in the Match Officials' room.
The pre-match meeting ended by 2 PM, with Toksin, the Venue Manager, and the Match Press Officer conducting the final inspection of the Garrison Stadium.
Ninety minutes before kick-off…
Toksin met with Blizzakov, Ekdahl, and Prasino-Lupes. Blizzakov agreed with Toksin that the Dalimbari would be showing a double thumbs-up as a signal for the Hertfordian to start the match. Ekdahl and Prasino-Lupes have also acknowledged the standard pressure on the match balls to be used in the match. Lastly, Toksin invited the Match Officials to be in Press Room 3 40 minutes before kick-off for the live broadcast of the coin toss.
Sixty minutes before kick-off…
Toksin's secretary informed him that the United Adaikes national team had arrived at the Garrison Stadium. The Dalimbar national team arrived ten minutes later. Ten minutes after their arrival, the Match Officials checked the clothing and equipment of both teams.
Forty minutes before kick-off…
Adaikesian captain Peregrine Norman and Dalimbari captain Luka Ivika met at the door of Press Room 3 and gave each other a dap and a pound hug, but no words came from each other as they entered the Press Room. The floor director told Norman to move to the right side of the room behind the cameras. When Norman reached the right side of the room and converged toward the middle for the coin toss, the floor director spoke, "Okay, we're live."
The Match Officials, already in the room before the two captains arrived, shook their hands. Ivika and Norman shook hands formally in front of the cameras. Blizzakov started in Common, "Dalimbar is heads, United Adaikes is tails," before tossing the coin. The coin landed on the floor, showing heads, with the Match Officials looking at Ivika. Blizzakov then asked, "Kick or receive?" Ivika answered, "Receive."
The Match Officials shook the captains' hands again for the confirmation of the first play of the match, with Norman and Ivika giving each other a dap and a pound hug again before leaving the room and returning to the pitch.
Ten minutes before kick-off…
Blizzakov blew his whistle, signaling the end of the warm-ups and for the teams to return to their respective dressing rooms.
Seven minutes before kick-off…
The teams leave their dressing rooms to line up in the tunnel. Ivika and Norman are separated by a Dalimbari boy carrying the match ball.
Six minutes before kick-off…
The teams take the field and line up for the anthems. The United Adaikes national anthem played first, followed by the Dalimbar national anthem.
Fifteen seconds before kick-off…
Toksin gave Blizzakov a double thumbs-up as a signal to start the match.

The last day


[Railo]: Oh boy, our final broadcast for this Rugby World Cup, it has been quite the ride hasn't it Eiva?
[Eiva]: It has been fun, Tixica always got me a good laugh off camera.
[Railo]: Well, we'll see him and Gaíves soon enough, oh we're live?
[Eiva]: We are... *chuckle* i wanted to see how long it would take you to notice.
[Railo]: Oh crap! Uh... Good afternoon Ryxtylopia and the world! You're currently watching Televiza Natsinal di Cuiltura, or TVNC for short!  Im Tivan Railo and as usual ill be joined by my co-worker; Nixta Eiva, and we'll start our last broadcast covering the 4th Rugby World Cup in Dalimbar, where our team has carried out a succesful debut reaching the 3rd place match that they will shortly play against the 3rd place winner of last tournament: Cambria, who are looking to hold on to that 3rd place for this RWC after they were defeated by Dalimbar.
[Eiva]: Its been quite the ride, our team did pretty well for a debut, i hope they had a good time in Dalimbar.
[Railo]: Well but the tournament isn't over just yet, lets talk about the upcomming match between Cambria and Ryxtylopia.
[Eiva]: Cambria performed really well in their group and throught the tournament, while not as successful as Dalimbar and UA, making it to the third place match is no easy thing to pull off in a tournament of this level.
[Railo]: They have certainly had an easier time than our team, especially in the groups, where they came in 1rst place, they also have more experience than us from previous world cups, so again this game will be intense with their team probably having an edge over ours.
[Eiva]: I mean they have experience, but i think on avarage our players are younger than theirs, so we'll see if in this match the old get phased out by the young or if they keep their edge to snatch the bronze.
[Railo]: Good point, anyways now the final: Dalimbar vs United Adaikes.
[Eiva]: Both teams have shown their level by reaching the finals, the dalimbari side probably has more motivation to not let foreigners win the gold at their home turf, but this being a final both teams will want to push for the win.
[Railo]: They both came in 1rst of their groups, personally i think Dalimbar will get the title, that's not to say the Adaikesians lack skill, please don't take me wrong.
[Eiva]: Don't worry, that's just an opinion, and that's the base on which we build this broadcast on, TVNC is a space to debate to have opinions and to inform.
[Railo]: Yes, but back to our match, the players have shown performances ranging from great to mediocre, but i wouldn't say nobody has performed "bad" just not to the levels other teamates have done it.
[Eiva]: Also, sorry to deviate but a lot of the players are probably going for sale after this, many have made it clear they want to leave our league behind and advance their careers, and i mean good for them but its a shame our talent will just go to sunnier stadiums to say.
[Railo]: I hope one day that stereotype about our Rugby league will change, in comparison to Football or Baseball in our country, the rugby league is just a back and fourth between Chacas and Trichanancó.
[Eiva]: Mhm, but anyways, the match is nearing so i think we should get in contact with Gaíves and Tixica, you know before they leave Dalimbar.
[Railo]: Great idea! Go ahead.
[Eiva]: Alright...
Eiva starts the video call...
[Gaíves]: Hello Railo and Eiva!
[Eiva]: Hello!
[Railo]: Gaíves! its so good to see you, but i couldn't help but notice you're missing something, or i mean, someone...
[Gaíves]: Tixica? He's behind the cameraman waiting for a moment to interrupt me as i talk with y-
[Tixica]: AAAAAHHHH- I love you but i hate you, you ruined my plan to scare Railo.
[Railo]: Oh i see now.
[Eiva]: All this fun aside, where are the players? This will be the last match they play here in Dalimbar for this Rugby World Cup.
[Gaíves]: They're about to enter the stadium, let me go there.
Gaíves and Tixica head towards the players.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[Gaíves]: Alright, hey, good afternoon TVNC news, may i get a comment on the match you're about to play? This is the last match for the A.R.R in this RWC in Dalimbar.
[Pailo Darrias]: Im nervous, i know we performed well, but i feel like if we don't bring the bronze home, everybody will be dissapointed, considering our level of rugby has improved i feel like expectations have gone up with it and i dont want to arrive home empty handed.
[Gaíves]: You've reached pretty far, isn't that enough?
[Pailo Darrias]: Well first of all im glad i had the opportunity and dont take me wrong but like i said, when your perceived rugby level increases by a lot in not a lot of time expectations probably go up to, and i dont want to shatter those. Im still very happy with the result and with the support our team has gotten.
[Gaíves]: Alright, thanks for your time!
[Tixica]: Can i interview one Gaíves?
[Gaíves]: Well since its our last broadcast and you took the time to come here just to watch a defeat and a possible defeat, sure why not?
[Tixica]: Thanks, let's see... you, what's your opinion on the match you're about to play?
[Marco Xilta]: Oh, id say im ready for whatever the Cambrians bring, i did pretty well in this tournament if i do say so myself, and the team as a whole, also hopefully the Dalimbaris in the crowd will be on our side considering Cambria is right next to Dalimbar they might have more people at the stadium to cheer for them.
[Tixica]: I don't know how travell between Cambria and Dalimbar works, but it is a possibility.
[Marco Xilta]: Hopefully we can take bronze home as a reminder of what a good debut and a good team is! Ill never forget this tournament even if some nights were full of stress and the ambience was cold compared to our home, im proud for having served my country in the field of rugby.
[Tixica]: Alright, good luck on your match!
[Marco Xilta]: Thanks!
[Gaíves]: Alright, now where do we go?
[Tixica]: Usually at this point id tell you where Tivarra is...
[Gaíves]: What?
[Tixica]: Oh crap! Nothing...
[Gaíves]: Weird... Anyways, over there.
[Gaíves]: Afternoon, TVNC news, may we get a comment on the match you're about to play with Cambria for the third place?
[Avilita Mataña]: The journey's been pretty good, thankfully i was part of this team, and Tivarra did a really good job managing us, id recommend him to any team looking for a new coach!
[Gaíves]: He's still for hire?
[Avilita Mataña]: Mhm, trying to find a better job, and no he didn't tell me to say this im just recommending him, since i geniunly belive he's a great coach, but we'll do alright if not good against the Cambrians, top 4 isn't that bad!
[Gaíves]: Alright, thanks!
[Santigo Guivaldi]: Hey press! have a minute?
[Gaíves]: Go ahead!
[Santigo Guivaldi]: Its the third time im going to thank the audience, i really hope we can get 3rd place, i really want to get 3rd place, Cambria looks tough but we've been building up to this moment, our final match, ever since we came 3rd in groups, beat Ostronia, won against Zoran and just to the sour point where we lost the chance of going to the finals at the hands of the Sharks, i just want to win one last match.
[Gaíves]: You're the emotional guy? You never dissapoint thanks!
[Santigo Guvaldi]: Thank you for letting me have this.
[Tixica]: Oh Gaíves, Gaíves...
[Gaíves]: What?
[Tixica]: I got you a surprise, look over there.
Tixica points out to Tivarra, waiting outside the team's bus with a list.
[Gaíves]: Tivarra! Quick, there's no time to waste!
Tixica and Gaíves run towards Tivarra.
[Gaíves]: Tivarra, Tivarra! TVNC give us your story right now mister!
[Tivarra]: Oh, well what a pleasant surprise, we got our plan we got the players for said plan, and we are ready for our last tango in this world cup, Dalimbar has done a great job at hosting in my mind, i think i may be a little bit biased considering its my first RWC, like for all of us Ryxtylopians.
[Gaíves]: Any luck with finding a new team to manage?
[Tivarra]: Ive gotten a few calls, but im still open to searches!
[Gaíves]: Opinion on the Cambrians?
[Tivarra]: If they weren't a good team they would't be playing us, just like if WE weren't a good team we wouldn't be playing them, at least at this stage of the tournament that holds some truth, if their players play in a competitive rugby league i would like to ask a few questions...
[Gaíves]: And finally, your overall opinion on this RWC.
[Tivarra]: This RWC for us has had a result that could have gone better, but for a debut id say for our inexperienced team that plays in an incredibly uncompetitive league they've done pretty amaizing, its been a ride and me and the "Buccaneers" of the A.R.R have had a wonderful time sailing through the sea of different teams and matches to reach this point, where we will have our final battle between Ryxtylopia and Cambria, over all amaizing world cup hosted by Dalimbar and amaizing performance by our team.
[Gaíves]: Nice job! and that's where ill leave ya Railo and Eiva, me and Tixica will go take our seats to view this match!
[Tixica]: Wish you two were here.
[Gaíves]: Anyways, thanks for having us on today and ill see you back home!
[Gaíves]: Lets go Tixica.
The call with Gaíves ends as the screen goes back to the studio with Railo and Eiva.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
[Railo]: Good to see Gaíves comming back home, tho i do wish Tixica would stay in Dalimbar... forever far from my sight.
[Eiva]: Oh you...
[Railo]: So, is there anything more we can add to that?
[Eiva]: I don't know, should i get the popcorn...
[Railo]: Hold on i know what we can do.
Railo gets his laptop, connecting it to the studio sound system before searching a familiar song to most Ryxtylopians to play in the background.
 
"Adilienti Ryxtylopia... Adilienti a vyncér, e diporte la pasion, di noistra naxion quista di pie!"
It didn't take long for the entire team to catch up
"Adilienti Ryxtylopia... Adilienti a vyncér, e diporte la pasion, di noistra naxion quista di pie!"
"Adilienti Ryxtylopia... Adilienti a vyncér, e diporte la pasion, di noistra naxion quista di pie!"
"Die Nyrte a Sur, e diporte triunfirá, por a Ryxtylopia a musica reysonará!"
"Di Xarrvaís a Montís! Di Ñavis a Aziul, Ryxtylopia si prepara, parai diporte a vyncerá!"
"Adilienti Ryxtylopia... Adilienti a vyncér, e diporte la pasion, di noistra naxion quista di pie!"
"Adilienti Ryxtylopia... Adilienti a vyncér, e diporte la pasion, di noistra naxion quista di pie!" ...
[Railo]: There we go.
[Eiva]: Nice touch.
[Railo]: Thanks! Well i get the soda you get the popcorn.
[Eiva]: Alright.
[Railo]: And to our viewers, thanks for sticking with us for this broadcast, we're off to see the game as probably are you, so hope everybody has their snacks, a cozy couch and is ready to watch the games for this final day of the RWC, this has been Tivan Railo from TVNC, and ill catch you on later!
[Railo]: Boy i could really take a pee...
The camera zooms out as the TVNC theme plays, and the pre-match ads start playing with the counter till the match ticking down on the bottom right of the screen.
 
 

State Dinner at Oborin Palace Finished
Saint Andreisburg, Dalimbar — The state dinner between the leaders of Dalimbar, Giovanniland and Saint Mark has finished, with the event taking several hours at the Oborin Palace of Saint Andreisburg, the Dalimbari capital city. Significant diplomatic progress was completed after discussion between Marshal Markus Briand and the rest of Stavka representing Dalimbar, His Serene Highness Prince Marcarius leading the Saint Markan delegation, and King Giovanni VI and Prime Minister Elisa Anario-Silva leading the Giovannilandian delegation. In addition, both invited nations' delegations also experienced Dalimbari culture and cuisine in the palace, which was built by Marshal Petrov Oborin and once was the residence for the Marshals of Dalimbar, now serving as host location for state and cultural events. 
Trade agreements were plentiful, with a new trade corridor between the three countries announced that connects Dalimbar to the southern Saint Markan coast, and from there reaches the major Giovannilandian port city of Uryde, one of the eight prefecture-level cities of Giovanniland and the largest city in the country's northern Lavender Island coast. Some of the Giovannilandian items to be provided for exports will be advanced consumer goods from the nation's industrial sector and primary sector products such as tropical fruits. In return, examples of Giovannilandian imports from Dalimbar will be rare earth minerals to aid the nation's thriving technology industry, and oil and natural gas to supplement its national production and needs as well as secondary sales for neighboring nations.
Beyond trade, the leaders of Giovanniland and Dalimbar have moved to establish closer diplomatic relations, with a Giovannilandian embassy to be built in Saint Andreisburg and a Dalimbari embassy to be built in Giovannia, the two nations' respective capital cities. Both the King and PM, as well as Minister of Foreign Affairs Tarquino Albio-Tertullio and Minister of Trade Flavio Lavandino, called the state dinner a success, noting the importance of achieving closer relations between three of the four largest economies in Esferos. We at the Nuntikarta Giovanniterrana will continue to watch the developments of these results and deliver live news to all our readers.

AFTER ACTION REPORT: Bilyadi Marine Chemical Attack on the KALAMEES
Classification: SECRET
Report Prepared by: Captain Elias Saska, Commanding Officer of Cambrian Ship KALAMEES
Time of Occurrence: 0330 hours, April 21, 1423
Location: Bilyadi Coast, Mille-Mer
Unit Involved: Kalamees (F33)
Narrative: At approximately 0330 hours, the Kalamees came under chemical attack from the Bilyadi Marines. The attack was carried out using a modified surface-to-surface missile that delivered a chemical agent identified as Soman. The missile was launched from a position on the coast of Bilyad and targeted the Kalamees while it was conducting operations off the coast.
Kalamees crewmembers reported an initial impact followed by the rapid onset of symptoms consistent with nerve agent exposure. The crew immediately initiated MOPP (Mission Oriented Protective Posture) Level 4 and started administering NAAK (Nerve Agent Antidote Kit) to affected personnel.
A total of seventeen personnel were affected by the chemical agent, including three fatalities. The remaining casualties were evacuated to Joint Base Echevarría Hospital in United Adaikes for further treatment. The Kalamees medical team was able to stabilize the remaining personnel and all are expected to make a full recovery.
In response to the attack, the Kalamees initiated a retaliatory strike against the Bilyadi position suspected of launching the missile. The ship's B-NSM missile system was employed, and all missiles impacted their targets, resulting in the destruction of the launch site and the death of all Bilyadi personnel present.
The attack is being investigated by a joint team from Task Force 417 in order to identify those responsible and any potential connections to known terrorist organizations. Kalamees will be relieved by Kohver (F39) and Morrowe (C47) has been dispatched to the area to provide additional support.
Conclusion: The Bilyadi Marines have demonstrated a willingness to employ chemical weapons in their attacks against coalition forces. While the Kalamees was able to successfully defend against the initial attack, this incident serves as a reminder of the potential for asymmetric threats in the maritime environment. The crew of the Kalamees performed admirably under challenging circumstances and were able to mitigate the impact of the attack. The Kohver will relieve Kalamees. The Morrowe has been tasked with providing additional support to the Kohver and conducting further operations against the Bilyadi Marines.

After Action Report: Defense of Pirate Attack off Bilyadi Coast
Report Prepared by: Captain Elias Saska, Commanding Officer of Cambrian Ship KALAMEES
Date: April 21, 1423
Location: Bilyadi Coast, Mille-Mer
At approximately 2057 on April 20, 2023, the Kalamees, an Enno-class frigate, was patrolling in the Malao Bay, when the radar operator detected multiple fast attack craft (FACs) closing in on our position. The crew immediately went to General Quarters (GQ) and prepared for an imminent pirate attack.
The crew, including UA and TL observers, remained on edge throughout the encounter, with their eyes glued to the screens in front of them, searching for any sign of movement. The pirates, identified as Bilyadi Marines, were known to use cunning tactics, so the crew was ready for any situation.
As the FACs approached, the crew on the Kalamees could hear the pirates communicating over the radio, barking orders to each other and laughing. However, the crew remained focused and ready to defend the ship.
The Kalamees was armed with Basric Naval Strike Missiles (NSM), a 5-inch gun, and multiple machine guns and autocannons. In addition, the frigate carried a RH-643 Kaost gunship in place of the standard antisubmarine helicopters.
The commanding officer, Captain Elias Saska, ordered the gunners to engage the enemy. Defensive fire spilled out of the guns, sending waves of explosive shells towards the pirate boats. The Kaost gunship followed suit, unleashing a hail of gunfire on the hapless pirates.
Despite the crew's excitement at repelling the attack, Captain Saska remained vigilant. The pirates were known to have connections with terrorist organizations and had previously threatened to use chemical weapons. Captain Saska ordered his crew to remain at battle stations until they were sure that the threat had been eliminated.
The attack lasted approximately 20 minutes, during which time the Kalamees successfully defended against the pirate swarm. No damage to the ship or crew was reported, and all FACs were successfully sunk.
In conclusion, the crew of the Kalamees successfully defended against a pirate attack on April 20, 1423, off the Bilyadi coast. The crew's quick thinking, training, and readiness were instrumental in the successful defense of the ship. The commanding officer commends the crew for their bravery and professionalism during the encounter.

Prince Marcarius finished his cup of South Coast blend and put the documents he had been reading back into the burgundy leather folder stamped with his crest. The others were probably asleep in the main cabin by now. After dinner, they had had a game of Bridge in his suite. Lady Arlene had looked tired, unable to hide her disappointment in the rugby results. The elegant evening at the Oborin Palace had taken her mind off of it for a while. Lord Brock, on the other hand, looked pleased, and when he wasn't focused on the bidding, went over the Lions' best plays. They had done better than expected, after all. The prince and the archbishop were in even better spirits. The meeting with Marshall Briand and the state dinner had gone quite well. Saint Mark was to begin receiving trade in furs and rare earth materials from Dalimbar in exchange for cutting-edge chips. In addition, the church was going to be allowed to send missionaries to the disadvantaged people of Dalimbar's east.
He turned off his lamp, closed his eyes, and settled his head into the just-soft-enough pillow. He smiled. The trip had been a success, on and off the field.
