National Artist Carlos Zaragoza Paints Plight of Rural Arracrania
By: Mildred V. Pequeña
CAJAL SANDS - It was primarily thought that the increase in crab population would benefit the rural aquaculture industry; but ever since last month, numbers have skyrocketed at an alarming rate. Not only do they disrupt the ecosystem by consuming underwater vegetation, but they have also been occupying most of the country's pristine beaches in swathes -  causing a steep drop in tourist arrivals.
Carlos Zaragoza, National Artist in Painting, has frequently sought the ocean for inspiration. Alas, him and his hometown are now being confronted by assaults daily. Not only do the crabs cause physical harm, but they also bring damages to fishing nets, ruining the livelihood of numerous fishermen. Carlos has since then decided to take action and spread awareness by creating a modern masterpiece, Guerra la Playa. It depicts a wounded man and his struggle in fending off the crab assault with a middling and bloody tree branch.

Pictured: Guerra la Playa, Carlos Zaragoza's cry for help, is a socially-relevant masterpiece
"This sight, despite the sheer outrageousness of it at first glance, is a reality that keeps on biting us where it hurts", says the illustrious artiste. "We need not only our beloved motherland to wake up to this, but also the international community at large. Without proper awareness of the matter, this scourge will spread to your sands, ravage your coasts, and seemingly dance to a beat while doing so. Every single one of us needs to step up and play our role, no matter how insignificant, in putting an end to this [redacted] travesty."
Since its completion, Guerra la Playa hangs in the prestigious Museo Éspiral - alongside his many other works - in hopes of raising both global awareness and the spirits of his fellow countrymen.

The Confederacy of Zoran Opposes Crab Coup of TWP
 
The Confederacy of Zoran has issued a response to the coup of the TWP by the Crab King. The Defense Council has voted to declare open rebellion to restore the original order of TWP.
"We may not be very militaristic but we will not stand by and watch crabs walk on our shores." Stated President Apenimon Ani'-Wah'.
A draft is to be put in place and crabs are banned from the country as decided by a vote in the Defense Council after much debate by each representative of the communes. They have also put out a call to arms to all members of the TWP who oppose the Crab regime in a hope to push for a restoration of the old order.

Hi there! I'm also new, hopefully we get along well here!

And stay safe

Welcome, both of you!

Note: this article is outdated, as I have decided "č,š,ž" is still part of Kurabi alphabet.
New legislation will bring back "ž"
March 9, 1420
Written by Jakåb Våssr
The new legislation will bring back "ž" to the Kurabi language. It was removed long time ago from the alphabet with other letters, such as "č" and "š", since westerners thought "it was too complicated".The new legislation was created due to Kurabisians thinking the "zh" combo used until today looked strange.
 While the "ž" letter is getting back, Kurabisians are talking about also bringing back "č" and "š". The passing of this legislation may be postponed if enough Kurabisians will support this.

Communication from the Estates-Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On the Multinational Working Group Regarding Passport Security and
Travel Document Standards

     The Estates-Ministry of Foreign Affairs extends an open invitation to all nations to take part in the Multinational Working Group Regarding Passport Security and Travel Document Standards (hereinafter referred to as the Working Group, or MWG) which it intends to use as an information-sharing and best practices forum. The Working Group will not become an international organization or formal membership-scheme. 
   In recognition of growing incidences of cross-border crime related to passport forgery or fraud, the Estates-Ministry will agree to privately work with nations to ensure Travel Document Standards. The Standards established as a function of this Working Group will become the minimum-required standards for acceptance of Travel Documents within Nieubasria - and it will become a recommended minimum to all nations regardless of MWG status. 
   The Estates-Ministry is pleased to announce the partner nations of Tara and Cambray, Reçueçn and Kurabis have decided to take part in the Working Group at the publishing of this statement. 
 
UPDATE ISSUED 1:00am March 5th: 
-The Holy Principality of Saint Mark has joined the Working Group
-Talks are ongoing with Dalimbari Officials on participation or observation of the Working Group

Per the request of Badger, some notes:
- Nearly everything here appears to be legal (with the possible exception of the treaty name there, but that'd be a mod ruling more), 'game created region' is an illegal term under R4.
- "in the feeder region" is a bit unnecessary, as in theory work in any suitably large region can be worthy of a C&C. Comma is unneeded there either way.
- Clauses should generally end as if the entire resolution is a giant run-on sentence, usually meaning all lines not in a list end with a comma, semicolon, or colon (in the case of lists)
- Otherwise, the basic needs to make this a successful proposal is detailing the accomplishments already summarized (like, what did Saint Mark do as MoFA, or what actual positions did they hold in Osiris, Albion, and TSR) and explaining why those things matter in some cases (for example, why does it matter that NSToday said they were one of the most influential nations?)
 
In general, an excellent first attempt, especially with the almost entirely legal nature, that's rarer to get on a first draft of a first attempt.

Dilberian Rugby Team Mascot Tells Schoolkids “Say Yes to Drugs”
by Jerry Poole, Head Writer

With Rugby World Cup hype sweeping The West Pacific, figures in the world of rugby have been looking to use their platform to be a force for change in the region. Dopey, the Dilberian national team mascot, is no exception. In between matches, he has been busy visiting Dilberian schools, encouraging kids to “say yes to drugs”.
“Drugs are the coolest,” Dopey told one class in Dilber City Middle School, through a mascot-to-Dilberian interpreter. “Just look at all the amazing things you can do.” He then showed the children a video of 11-year-old rugby player Frank Henry getting steamrolled by a hefty Fujansk player, only to pop up unharmed immediately.
The Last Legitimate Minister of Education in Dilber reports that his office has gotten numerous calls from concerned parents, but has been shrugging them off. “I see no problem here,” he told the Review.
“The Dopin' Dogs are fully committed to educating children on the truth about drug use,” national team coach Ivan Mihovolivic said in a press release. “Namely the unquestionable benefits. Just think, no more children will be bullied if they can all bench press a small car, would they?”
Keep following the Roofur Review as we continue to follow this story, as well as investigate the needle shortage developing in Aura.

Lol, I guess it was a mistake with the alphabetical order. I'll fix it to give me an excuse to put the right diacritics in 'Reçueçn'
