    War Room, Red Palace, Adaikes Central, Adaikes
    2215H
    Luke Salazar was thinking of a different name for this room. "War Room" seems so negative. But when he looked around the room, he gave up thinking about it.
    Vice President Mel Gaspar is to his right, and to his left is the Red Palace Chief of Staff Jed Gill. To the left of Jed was Executive Assistant to the Red Palace Chief of Staff Gina Marvin, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Anne Duncan, along with Foreign Affairs deputy secretaries and military liaisons. To the right of Mel was Secretary of Military Affairs Carlo Charlton and the United Adaikes Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Navoy O'Drall, the Commanding Generals of the Army and Air Force, and the Flag Officer-in-Command of the Navy.
    "Are we good to go, sir?" Charlton asked the President.
    "Anne, call the Sultan of Arifiyyah. Jed, call the President of Ryxtylopia. Admiral, call your counterpart from Teralyon. Gina, call Minister Klavan of Cambria. General, tell the people in Joint Base Auzarun to prepare," was all they heard from the President.
    Operation Golden Cougar is about to commence.
    Briefing Room, Joint Base Auzarun, Perthdoches, Thraproy
    2222H
    "Understood, General," Lieutenant General Leopoldo Horton responded to the phone call, "yes, our men are ready to materialize the plan."
    "Yes, sir."
    "Thank you, sir."
    "You'll now be seeing on your screen what I currently see on my screen here in Auzarun."
    In the lower left of the screen was the position of Teralyon navy ships docked near the largest island in East Mille-mer. Occupying the middle and lower right of the screen was satellite footage of Dilber, Arifiyyah, Ryxtylopia, and the land between Arifiyyah and Ryxtylopia.
    "We will initiate Operation Golden Cougar exactly 60 minutes from now."
    War Room, Red Palace, Adaikes Central, Adaikes
    2235H
    "Give me updates, ladies and gentlemen," Salazar was getting edgy. He doesn't want to be left out of the loop, but what the President gets are as much as what he wants.
    Vice-Admiral Linwood Barnett, the Flag Officer-in-Command of the Navy talked first, "The Teralyon ships are moving according to our plan, Mr. President."
    "The Sultan doesn't want any aircraft in their airspace, or any ships in their territorial waters, or the first thing we get from them is the ashes of our people," Duncan continued.
    "President Etsañó has ensured that Ryxtylopia is currently closing their borders in the south and southwest of Carraizal, Mr. President," Gill said.
    "50 minutes, Mr. President," General O'Drall tells the room.
    "The Cambrians are confident that everything will be according to plan, and they offer 'a stroke of luck' if we need it," Marvin shakes her head while reporting to the President.
    "Tell the Joint Base we're all systems go in 20 minutes," the President commanded General O'Drall.

    Loss streak broken!
    In a much needed win, Teralyon put on a stunning performance by defeating the Larxian team 30 to 14 in the Rugby World Cup. our Teralyon team had been struggling in their previous matches, losing both of their opening games, and the pressure was mounting on the players to turn their fortunes around.
    The team's coach, Vush Brajna, had been working tirelessly with the players to address their weaknesses and improve their game. He knew that the match against the Larxian team would be crucial in determining their fate in the tournament.
    The Teralyon team came out with a newfound energy and determination, dominating the game from the opening whistle. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, with their star players making crucial plays and scoring key points. The defense was equally impressive, holding off the Larxian team's attacks and preventing them from mounting a comeback.
    The victory was met with jubilation in the streets of Tarajevo, with fans taking to the streets to celebrate the team's much-needed win. The atmosphere was electric, with fans singing and dancing late into the night.
    The Teralyon team's next match will be against Hertfordshire and Jammbo at Garrison Stadium. The match is shaping up to be a critical game for the Teralyon team, with both teams jostling for position in the standings. The team is aware of the stakes involved and is working hard to prepare for the upcoming match. The players are putting in long hours on the training field, fine-tuning their strategies and improving their game.
    The team's coach, Vush Brajna, has emphasized the importance of staying focused and playing with intensity. "We know that this match will be tough, but we are ready for the challenge," he said. "We have worked hard to get to this point, and we will leave everything on the field."
    The team is confident that they can continue their winning ways and make a strong push towards the knockout stages of the tournament. Fans are eagerly anticipating the match, with many hoping to see the team build on their recent victory and continue their rise up the standings.
    The Rugby World Cup continues, and the Teralyon team is determined to make their mark on the tournament. With their recent win providing a much-needed boost to the team's morale, the players are ready to take on all challengers and show the world what they are capable of.

    All your base are belong to us?
    In a surprise move, two full squadrons of the Teralyon built and operated TRL-707 better known as the Perun sweptwing fighter jet, were spotted taking off from the island airbase on Ljivaiana and heading northeast. While it is not uncommon to see these fighter jets taking off and doing patrols, it is highly unusual for entire squadrons to be deployed at once.
    The Teralyon Perun is a highly advanced fighter jet that is known for its speed, agility, and advanced weaponry. It is one of the most powerful aircraft in the world and is a very formidable weapon in Teralyon’s arsenal. When contacted by a Novi Vijesti to inquire about the fighter jets sudden deployment, Sky Marshal Ludga Giejovic declined to comment, stating that they cannot discuss ongoing military operations.
    Speculation has been rampant about the reasons behind this deployment. Some experts believe that it may be a show of force to deter potential adversaries, while others suggest that it could be part of a larger military operation.
    The Ljiviana airbase is a highly fortified island base that is strategically located in the northern region of the country. It has been the site of several military exercises and operations over the years and is known to be a critical military asset.
    Whatever the reason behind this sudden deployment, it is clear that the Teralyon Perun fighter jets are a force to be reckoned with. With their advanced capabilities and highly skilled pilots, they are sure to make an impact wherever they are deployed.
    As the situation continues to develop, it remains to be seen what the ultimate outcome of this deployment will be. For now, all eyes are on the northern skies as these powerful fighter jets take to the air in defence of their country.

    A Day Out in Saint Andreisburg

    You are a tourist in the strange land of Dalimbar, here for the Rugby World Cup. Perhaps you came from a economically advanced civilization, perhaps not. All you know is that the city you are in, Saint Andreisburg, is big and foreign looking. At least the programming on Free State TV has Common subtitles, lest you be absolutely confused on why they're showing advertisements for tractors in between shows on "The Path" and rugby. 
    You may be looking for things to do within this "Rugby Zone" the Dalimbari have restricted you to as a "guest". It's a surprisingly large area of the city, full of history, culture and unexpected beauty. Stepping outside of your hotel, you see that along the canal there is a boat tour which gives you a peaceful tour of the architecture of the core of Saint Andreisburg. You see otters and other creatures swimming and playing in the canals as the boat leads you to the famous Oborin Palace.

    Commissioned by Marshal Petrov Oborin in 1113, it was designed to showcase the might and splendor of the Dalimbari nation while serving as the residence of the Marshal. Although it no longer serves as the residence of the Marshal, it still is used for cultural events for the Free State. Outside in the gardens are dozens of fountains and over 200 bronze statues of famous Dalimbari heros. You reach the Grand Cascade just in time for the mid-afternoon fountain show, set to a live performance of classical Dalimbari music.

    Taking the local street-car system, you look to find something to snack on as you're getting peckish. Thankfully there are plenty of small cafes and restaurants around, and you've heard of the Dalimbari cuisine of "zakuski". It is an assortment of small dishes, such as pickled vegetables, smoked fish, cured meats, cheeses, and spreads, often accompanied by vodka or other drinks. 

    Following a delectable meal and libation, you walk along the canals and pass along the Fontanka Bridge, decorated with four striking bronze horse sculptures. You reach the Gostinkii Divor, an enormous shopping block that dates back to the 12oos and is now home to a variety of shops and boutiques. 

    After a day of exploring the city, you make your way to the Baryshnikov Theatre for a performance of Dalimbari ballet. The form is characterized by a unique combination of strength and grace, with dancers performing highly intricate and physically demanding movement with apparent ease. In tonight's performance, you see a production of The Sailor which includes this scene: 
     
    Following the performance you head back to the hotel, knowing that tomorrow your team will be playing another game of rugby. You hope they win. Maybe they will?

An independent investigation and technical analysis of the breach were also conducted, resulting in the identification of an additional 42 cases with 302 potentially affected individuals who will receive notification letters and an offer of identity protection services at no cost to them.
    Significant safeguards have been added to the Rulings Database to protect internal information from being accessed. On October 11, 1422, public access to the database was restored with these safeguards in place.
    The Ministry of Natural Resources and Cultural Heritage takes data privacy and security seriously and is committed to ensuring the protection of personal information. The Office of Adjudication will continue to monitor the situation and take any necessary steps to further safeguard the database and the personal information of those who use it.

    Another loss, Time for a win?
    Teralyon rugby has suffered another shock defeat at the hands of one of the fiercest Dalimbari Rugby team seen in the Rugby World Cup, losing 19 to 7 in a highly anticipated match. If you’ve been living under a rock dear readers, it is important to note that the 4th Rugby World Cup is being hosted in Dalimbar, which clearly added to the pressure faced by our Teralyon team which in addition seems to have struggled against the strong defence and potent offence of the Dalimbari.
    Our Teralyon team found the intimidating atmosphere in the stadium difficult to contend with, with many players feeling overwhelmed by the sea of blue in the stands made up of passionate Dalimbari fans. Despite their best efforts, the Teralyon team was unable to overcome their opponents.
    Following the match, some Teralyon fans left the stadium early, while others remained, determined to show their support for the team. Diehard fans are optimistic that the team will bounce back in their next game against Larxia, with some even doubling down in their support for the team.
    The Rugby World Cup continues, and Teralyon's loss to Dalimbari has certainly shaken up the team's confidence. Nonetheless, the Teralyon team remains determined to show their worth and prove that they are still a team to be reckoned with.

    President Tiber set to travel to United Adaikes

    In an effort to strengthen international relations and address pressing security concerns, Teralyon's President, Anton Tiber, and Minister of Foreign Relations, Ijana Delicia, will be travelling to the United Adaikes to meet with President, Luke Salazar, and Assistant Secretary for Foreign Trade Wilfred Woolf, and Ain Klavan, the Cambrian Minister of State, during the Gasple Security Conference.
    The leaders will discuss a range of issues related to security concerns in the Mille Mer sea, including the effectiveness of the current Task Force deployed there and the possibility of future integration of joint operations between the AU. The Mille Mer sea has become a hotbed of piracy and smuggling, which threatens the stability of the region and the security of surrounding countries.
    In addition to security concerns, the leaders will also discuss a free trade agreement between their respective countries. This agreement has been under negotiation for some time, and this meeting will provide an opportunity for the leaders to make progress towards a final agreement.
    The meeting between the leaders is expected to be cordial and productive, with all parties committed to finding mutually beneficial solutions to the issues at hand. President Tiber emphasized the importance of working collaboratively to address security concerns in the region and promote economic growth through free trade.
    "We are committed to working with our partners in the region to ensure security and prosperity for all," President Tiber said in a statement. "This meeting provides a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and find common ground on issues that affect us all."
    The leaders will also participate in other events during the visit, including panel discussions and networking opportunities with other world leaders. The meeting is expected to have a significant impact on regional security and economic relations, and many are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the discussions.

    Zoran reacted to Ostronia in 4th Rugby World Cup [rosters, roleplays, results]   
    The match was over. Their opponents hung their weary heads in defeat. The purple-striped jerseys huddled together, hopped and whooped, danced and chanted: "O-O-Ostronien!" "O-O-Ostronien!" "O-O-Ostronien!" Eventually the wild throng broke, but its members still crossed the pitch together toward their locker room. Some of them, mostly the forwards that had put up try after try against the Sekiyans, let sideways glances betray their understandable pride as they basked in admiring gazes on them from passing teammates and remaining crowds. Understandable, thought the team's captain Erik Tafa, but inexcusable nonetheless. Others, like young Alex Uchechukwu, also lifted their chins, but to the final score emblazoned on the screens far above: 24 to 12 in favor of OST. Their incredulous jaws still gaped, forgetting to close. Three matches in a row had they won, and not a match so far had they lost. It almost seemed that they really would do what Yaya had prophesied and sweep the rest of the group stage, but Erik was too superstitious to believe in such boasts.
    And anyway, his knees ached too much to even hope in such an outcome. He did his best to hide the grandfatherly limp from his teammates and focused on his destination: the locker room bench. It wasn't right to retire from a career at just thirty-seven years old, but his body's protests warned him as clearly as crystal: "You're not twenty anymore. One more fall like that and I quit."
    "Just a little longer," he told it under his breath. "Just this one last tournament. Don't let me fail my team...my country here." And to show it he was serious, he plopped himself on the bench and asked Alex for some hot water, which the youth dutifully obliged. Gingerly, Erik rubbed his joints with a towel hot and sopping wet. and ignored his younger teammates' glances and whispers. He knew they all thought the same of him: that if anyone was to let them down, it would be the old man still pretending he could play professional rugby.
    "Pretend?" He let out a bitter laugh, which he quickly disguised as any old post-match grunt. Erik may have been at the end of his career, but that only meant he had a decade more experience reading feints and throwing passes over anyone else in the room. "All that experience don't count for nothing if I give out on you," his right knee threatened. But it was an idle threat from idle pain, dulled by the application of massaging thumbs and warm water.
    Erik knew his limits, even if his teammates and his own body did not. Deep within those aged, straining muscles was one last burst of energy. Erik wasn't fighting pain and weariness just to stay in the game. He was fighting to preserve that last full measure of his strength, to save it for even tougher battles that lay ahead in the knockout stage, as it grew likelier and likelier Ostronia would make it.
    And besides, after one more match with Ionia, his poor knees could get the whole day to rest and recover for the real threat: Dalimbar.

    "Live from Garrison: An Interview with Luka Ivika"
    Journalist: Good afternoon viewers from across the Free State and around the world! I'm here with Luka Ivika, captain of the Boys in Blue, the Dalimbari rugby team. After their surprising tie with historical rivals Hertsfordshire and Jammbo, Ivika and the Boys faced off against fellow Polarii nation Teralyon and won 19 to 7. Luka, tell me, how does it feel to be representing the Free State in such a prestigious tournament?
    Luka Ivika: Thank you, it is an honour and privilege to be part of the team that represents our dear nation on home soil in the Rugby World Cup. It's a huge responsibility, but we're ready for the challenge.
    Journalist: Your recent win against Teralyon was impressive. Your own try of speeding from the Dalimbari try line all the way across the field and leaving the other side in the dust was thrilling to watch. How do you plan to build on that success going forward, especially with your next match against Sekiya coming up in Nadu?
    Ivika: We're taking it one match at a time, but our focus is on improving with every game. We've analyzed Sekiya's playing style and we're preparing accordingly. We want to maintain our momentum and keep pushing ourselves to be better.
    Journalist: As captain of the team, what's your strategy for leading your teammates both on and off the field?
    Ivika: I believe in leading by example. I try to stay disciplined in my own game and communicate well with my teammates. We're a tight-knit group and we trust each other, which helps us perform at our best. 
    Journalist: That's great to hear! Lastly, as the hosts, do you feel any added pressure to perform well int he tournament?
    Ivika: Of course, there's always some pressure when you're playing in front of your home crowd. But we're using that pressure as motivation to perform at our best. We're proud to represent Dalimbar and we want to make our country proud.
    Journalist: Well, we're excited to see how you and the team continue to perform in the Rugby World Cup. Thank you for speaking with us today, Luka, and best of luck in your upcoming matches.
    Ivika: Thank you, it's been a pleasure.

    What's New on TheTube™?
    This week, a video titled Dalimbari Barbarian Studies went viral on the internet this week as it gives the Zoranian perception of how Dalimbari learn about foreign cultures in their notorious "Barbarian Studies" classes. While many comment that the editing is a bit crude, people couldn't help but laugh at the interpretation of the class from the secretive Free State of Dalimbar, who has allowed people from all over the world in what people have been calling a historic, once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about the life in Dalimbar while in the restrictive Rugby Zones.
    But to summarize the video, it is an edit of a scene from a famous movie which shows students learning from a professor from one of their other classes due to the "absence" of their usual professor as they learn about the oh so forbidden topic in Dalimbar, anime. Yes that's right, the whole edit is about the students learning about anime, an iconic contribution Zoran has made to global culture as it has gained global viewership and popularity. Watch the video for yourself using the link provided and come to your own conclusion about this popular video.

    An Interview With Lord Hightower

    His Grace, Lord Brock, Duke of Hightower and Elector of Saint Mark
    Catherine Sprachweise, Reporter for the Sanctus Leo Vision: Your Grace, thank you so very much for allowing this interview. 
    Lord Hightower: Yes, of course. It is my pleasure.
    Sprachweise: First, if I may, how is your son, Lord Marcarius doing? It is our understanding that he suffered a bad sprain.
    Hightower: Yes, quite. We were lucky it wasn't broken, or that he hadn't suffered a head injury, or worse! It is a bad sprain, though.
    Sprachweise: Yes, your Grace, it was fortunate indeed that it wasn't worse. Will this affect his game?
    Hightower: It most definitely slowed him down in the match against Giovannoland. I'm convinced that Saint Mark would have won had he not been injured. As it was, it was a very close game. Our boys played exceptionally well. He is a strong young man with a good constitution, though. I'm sure he'll be on his game in the next match.
    Sprachweise: That's good to hear, your Grace. If I may, some say that you blamed the Sun Hawks' Flanker (she glances at her notes) Degataga Dvagahi, for intentionally injuring His Lordship. Would you care to comment?
    Hightower: (Turning a bit red) Well, I may have said something of the sort in the heat of the moment. I was concerned for my son! But, no, I'm sure the boy was only playing his best. These things happen in Rugby, of course. A man should be prepared to handle whatever comes his way in pursuit of his pastimes. It only improves oneself. My apologies to the young man if he took offense. I regret my unfortunate outburst, and have invited him and his family to Skycroft (the Hightower ancestral estate) for a shoot next time they are in Saint Mark.
    Sprachweise: How lovely, your Grace! Would you like to add anything before we close?
    Hightower: Thank you. Yes, I would like to thank our hosts, the Dalambari. They've done quite a nice job putting everything together, haven't they? And of course, go Lions!

    This week, a video titled Dalimbari Barbarian Studies went viral on the internet this week as it gives the Zoranian perception of how Dalimbari learn about foreign cultures in their notorious "Barbarian Studies" classes. While many comment that the editing is a bit crude, people couldn't help but laugh at the interpretation of the class from the secretive Free State of Dalimbar, who has allowed people from all over the world in what people have been calling a historic, once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about the life in Dalimbar while in the restrictive Rugby Zones.
    But to summarize the video, it is an edit of a scene from a famous movie which shows students learning from a professor from one of their other classes due to the "absence" of their usual professor as they learn about the oh so forbidden topic in Dalimbar, anime. Yes that's right, the whole edit is about the students learning about anime, an iconic contribution Zoran has made to global culture as it has gained global viewership and popularity.

    2! ' 2!
    Ryxtylopia drops to second after defeat to Aftokratoria
    Ernysto Rivas
     
    The win streak seemingly ended too soon for most Ryxtylopians, since after facing against the bottom team of the group, Aftokratoria, Ryxtylopia lost by 2 tries and fell down to 2nd place, the fans were mostly shocked since Aftokratoria was at the bottom of the group, they got their first win and jumped 2 spots up, to 5th place, now having a chance of making the group.
    Ryxtylopia on the other hand, fell to second place, behind the United Adaikes, whom beat Arifiyyah 19-6 and took first place now having 12 points, Ryxtylopia still has 8 points, but remains ahead of their next match, Kalmach due to Point Difference, while fans are shocked and many members of the team are too, the coach: Andreís Tivarra had this to say:
    "This is what i feared, am i in shock? of course not! I told them yesterday on the bus to not overlook Aftokratoria, and what do they do? They overlook Aftokratoria! The boys were asleep for half of the match and only woke up to conduct some decent damage control, but that still wasn't enough, that's what lost them the match!"
    Marco Va'ati one of the players had this to say:
    "Well, i guess i was wrong about the stuff i said last time, they played a good game, me and some of my friends weren't expecting this, some others were, if they hadn't prepared like they did, this defeat would've been worse, but fortunatley i did have teamates who didn't do the same mistakes i did."
    We also interviewed the captain of the Aftokratorian team: Rankampi Kepatanios, and asked him a few questions about the match:
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    [Reporter]: "Good day Ryxtylopia, the pretty intense match between Ryxtylopia and Aftokratoria has just ended! And im here with the captain of the rival we just faced, Rankampi Kepatanios, now mister Kepatanios: What do you think about your team's performance in the match you just played?"
    [Kepatanios]: "Performance? I am so proud, I can’t even put it into words. I think our performance was… just absolutely amazing, it was so great. Every one of our players did so well! It was a pretty close game for many parts of it, but the fact that we ever had a lead at all… I loved it. Sorry, I’m just in shock right now… We performed so well, as a team, and as individual players."
    [Reporter]: "That's great! Now; Do you have any goals you would like to meet for the next matches your team will have?"
    [Kepatanios]: "Goals… hmm, well even though 14 is really good, maybe trying to get more points than even that? Or even if we don’t get more points, if we play stronger, faster, smarter, and better, then that’s the same thing. My goals are to just improve as a player, as a teammate, and as a leader."
    [Reporter]: "Alright, next question! What's your opinion on the Ryxtylopian team's performance on the match you just played?"
    [Kepatanios]: "The Ryxtyltopians are an excellent team! They were a real challenge, and I am not surprised they kept top place in our grouping for so long. They are clearly experienced, and highly skilled, and I think we might be able to learn a few tips from them!"
    [Reporter]: "Well, i guess that's true for half of our team! Those overconfident i- oh, sorry sorry, alright and my last question is; Do you think your team has the capacity to make the group?"
    [Kepatanios]: "Well we are currently standing in 5th place, and though United Adaikes is also a very skilled team, internationally acclaimed for it, I do think we have a chance of beating them and moving up in the rankings, therefore making the group. Some doubt it, but I truly think we have the capability!"
    [Reporter]: "Well, good to hear! I wish you and your team the best of luck in this tournament, and thank you for taking us up in the interview!"
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________________
    Well, moving on from the match between Ryxtylopia and Aftokratoria, the rest of group D didn't see any other surprises, like said previously, UA beat Arifiyyah 19-6, while Fujai achieved a victory over Dilber 7-3, Arifiyyah and Dilber now falling to the bottom of the group (7th and 6th respectivley) with Aftokratoria being in reach of the qualification to the next round in 5th place, Fujai in 4th and the UNK (who didn't play today) in 3rd place.
    In the other groups we did see other pretty intense matches and other pretty one sided matches: Group A saw Ostronia defeat Sekiya 24-12 and the dalimbari hosts doing the same with Teralyon 19-7, with Hertfordshire and Jammbo getting their first victory of this tournament after they won against Larxia 13-0, and now find themselves in a position to perhaps qualify for the next stage.
    Group B starts off with a very one sided match, where Rivalfiume beat Apexiala 0-20, and Zoran scored 10 tries more than Varanius in a match that ended in a 10-3, and finally to end group B an intense but exciting match between Giovanniland and Saint Mark, Giovanniland winning 12-17, their team currently sitting at 2nd place in group B with Zoran in 1rst place Rivalfiume in 3rd and Varanius in 4th, Saranzio who didn't play today now sits 5th, and Saint Mark 6th, with Apexiala in 7th, seemingly with little hope of making the groups.
    And finally group C, Overthinkers has secured qualification to the next stage! with a 17-5 victory over Cyrylic, behind them on the board is Cambria, defeating Einherfell 26-10, and Nieubasria bearly edging over Libterraria winning in a match that ended 17-19, Nieubasria sits 4th, behind Peourouin, who didn't play on this matchday, Cyrylic sits in 5th, while Libterraria and Einherfell sit in 6th and 7th respectivley.
    And that's it for this matchday! While Ryxtylopia has been shocked, it can still recover, our next match is again Kalmach, who didn't play today, and hopefully our now humbled team will be more careful on this next match, thanks for reading!
     
    Adilíenti Ryxtylopia! A Vyncer!
    Big Thanks to Aftokratoria for letting me conduct the interview with their team captain for this post!

    Vlogger imprisoned for slanderous remarks against the Secretary of Trade
    Brendan Shelton, a famous vlogger from Adaikes, known for being vocal about his stance against Dalimbar and his isolationist views, was arrested by the National Police a day after releasing his latest vlog, mainly talking about the Secretary of Trade Felice Colbert and her presence in Dalimbar and the Rugby World Cup.
    "Do you really think she's just "care-taking" the National Rugby Team in Dalimbar right now? No, ladies and gentlemen! She's looking for more friends like the Dalimbari friends she had.
    "I mean, Luke could've sent someone else with the National Rugby Team. Why does it have to be the Secretary of Trade? We're rich enough; we can get by with our current resources in the country. But why are we selling it off? Are we reaching surplus numbers already in our production? Why is it not announced by the Agriculture and Trade Departments?
    "You had obviously seen the clip from when she ate that lemon in that Dalimbari cafe. Even without audio, you can read her lips, 'tastes just like ours'. Don't bullshit me; those're clearly Mille-mer lemons! And why does Dalimbar have our lemons?! I haven't even heard about a trade agreement between the two countries!
    "Madam Secretary, stop selling our stuff to everyone else! Who do you have in your contacts now, the Giovannilandians? The Nurans? Go back to the corporate world! You're not fit working for the government!"
    The prosecution used all the above statements as bases for the imprisonment of Shelton, who is currently being held in the Gasple Police District Headquarters.

    On the Massacre in Zlato 
    PRESS STATEMENT
    APRIL 6, 1423
    We strongly condemn the atrocities shown in a recently released video. The video appears to depict unarmed, blindfolded civilians being shot at point-blank range by an Osition regime official before falling into a mass grave in Zlato, Alchera. This took place during the 1415 massacre, which reportedly killed numerous Alcheran civilians. The video provides further evidence of war crimes committed by the Osition regime and highlights the horrors endured by the Alcheran people for over a decade.
    We commend and continue to support the courageous individuals who work to bring Osition and his regime to justice, often at great risk to their own lives. This includes the important work of Alcheran civil society organizations in documenting violations of the law of armed conflict, human rights abuses, and violations, as well as advancing transitional justice. Her Majesty's government remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring accountability for the atrocities inflicted upon Alcherans by the Osition regime. Accountability and justice for the crimes, violations, and abuses committed against Alcherans are crucial to establishing a stable, just, and lasting peace in Alchera and the Dragon Reach.

    A humbling reminder

    In a stunning upset, the rugby team suffered their first loss of the tournament at the hands of the Ostronian rugby team. The match, which took place at the waterfront Nadu Naval Stadium in the city of Nadu, was a closely-fought battle that saw both teams trading blows throughout the game.
    Despite the early dominance from our team, the Ostronian team refused to back down and managed to stay within striking distance throughout the match. With only minutes left on the clock, the Ostronian team managed to score a crucial try to take the lead by a score of 22 to 20.
    Teralyon fought hard to come back in the final minutes of the match, but were unable to break through the Ostronian defense and secure the win. The loss is a major setback for our previously undefeated team, and will likely shake up the tournament standings as the competition continues.
    The match was a nail-biter from start to finish, with both teams trading blows and refusing to give an inch. Despite us taking an early lead, the Ostronian team rallied back with a series of quick scores, eventually taking the lead in the second half and holding on for a hard-fought victory. The high-energy atmosphere at the waterfront Nadu Naval Stadium was electric. With the tournament still ongoing, both teams will have to regroup and refocus in order to continue their quest for victory.
    Fans were left disappointed by the result, with many expressing surprise at the team's inability to hold on to their lead. "I can't believe we lost that game," said avid rugby fan, Anto Girdic. "We were up by 10 points at one point, and I thought we had it in the bag. But credit to Ostronia, they played really well and deserved the win."
    Other fans were more critical of the team's performance, with some questioning the tactics employed by the coaching staff. "I think we made some questionable decisions in the second half," said longtime supporter, Sofija Dura. "We seemed to sit back and defend our lead instead of continuing to attack, and it cost us in the end."
    The loss for Teralyon serves as a reminder that anything can happen in rugby, and that no team can take their success for granted. As the tournament continues, fans around the world will be tuning in to see how the remaining matches unfold, and which team will emerge as the ultimate champion.

    New bullet run record confirmed

    In a thrilling display of skill and determination, car enthusiast Milo Rimic has set a new record time for the infamous Teralyon bullet run drive. The notorious run which goes all along the main lands eastern coastal highways and roads starting from the Maric Marina in Maricia, to the beachside resort of Sunca all the way in Velanja.
    Rimic, a seasoned driver and racing enthusiast, completed the grueling drive in an astonishing time of just 23 hours 54 minutes and 18 seconds, shattering the previous record by over an hour and 30 minutes and brining it under 24 hours which Rimic said was the main goal.
    The Teralyon bullet run drive is widely considered one of the most challenging and treacherous drives in the world, that includes more then just open highways and has several areas of winding roads, steep inclines, and hairpin turns in sections which test even the most experienced drivers, but Rimic, driving a customized sedan which he cleverly disguised to look like slightly like a  police interceptor which would of never been noticed for what it actually was at the speeds he was traveling at was equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and performance-enhancing technologies, a hole suite of police counter measures which Rimic was unwilling to disclose was almost undeterred by the challenge. He set out from Maric Marina at the crack of dawn, pushing himself and his car to the limits as he raced down the coast, navigating treacherous terrain and dodging traffic along the way.


    Rimic stated that the key part was the Tarajevo metropolitian area. "I just knew that it all hinged on when I hit Tarajevo, if I did it at a certain time then we could be in and out in about a hour"
    As he approached the finish line in Sunca, Rimic was greeted by a crowd of cheering fans and fellow car enthusiasts, who marveled at his incredible feat of driving prowess. In an emotional speech, Rimic thanked his support team and acknowledged the risks involved in attempting such a challenging drive.
    "I'm thrilled to have set a new record for the bullet run, but I couldn't have done it without the support the many people that helped me both in preparation and during the run, nevermind the incredible technology that helped me navigate the hole time, I know that driving at such high speeds is risky, but I'm committed to pushing the limits and achieving my goals."
    Rimic's record-breaking drive has cemented his status as one of Teralyons most accomplished car enthusiasts, and has likely inspired a new generation of drivers to push themselves to new heights of excellence.

    The Ministry of the Defense announced today the repatriation of Nazer Ablaiev from the detention facility at Metsalaulup to the Free State of Dalimbar.
     
    On March 19, 1423, the Detention Review Board (DRB) process determined that continued non-uniform combatant detention of Nazer Ablaiev was no longer necessary to protect against a significant threat to the security of the Kingdom of Cambria and associated territories and dependencies. 
    Minister August Soots notified The Seventy of his intent to repatriate Nazer Ablaiev to the Free State of Dalimbar, and, in a Three Saints teleconference with his counterpart, Admiral Mihovil Kresco, in the Free State of Dalimbar, completed the requirements for safe and responsible transfer as recommended by the DRB.
     
    The Kingdom of Cambria appreciates the willingness of the Free State of Dalimbar to support ongoing efforts toward a deliberate and thorough peace focused on mutual respect, transparency, and accountability.
    Special thanks to Dalimbar for his input.

    A Glimpse of Us: Another One

    “Surprise surprise, Aaron pulled himself together. I don’t blame him, though. He did go through something traumatic, and it really hurt me seeing him so distraught. But I digress. He showed up and performed accordingly for being stressed out. Markus was especially happy-looking to see him play.
    “Florence got everything sorted out with the Dalimbari government Blue Cards for athletes. She said that it was ‘something to be said about monkey business.’ I wasn’t about to question any sort of message that any miscommunication would be solved by solitary confinement for an issue on the printing of the barcode. I could write an essay with all the words I am saying. Anyways, Florence was able to play and play well she did. Better than I did.
    “Not to mention it’s currently 7 Celsius and holy moly, I'm not used to this. Ihashipol was never this cold, though it is on me for not packing for colder weather. Back home is almost 29 Celsius and much more my style. Eh, I miss home but it is what it is.
    “I’m still optimistic after the MD4 rest for the #6 nations, meaning we get some time to rest and regroup our forces- I mean our team to always keep them on edge. Sorry, that’s my conscription vocab coming in. Anyhow, I’m extremely proud our women and men on our team. It really represents Peourouin and my home in the right perspective and the great mix we are.
    “Stay strong peeps, слава Перуін!”
