The Zoranian Times

Crabs Ejected from TWP!
On April 3,1420, in the monthy Purge Olympics, the Guardians of the West ejected the crabbist Regime from the TWP and restored control in the region. While the Resistance had a ceasefire with the crabs to support the election of Giovanniland for General Secretary of the World Assembly, they all cheered as they saw the crabs thrown out of the region by via trebuchets and being crushed by the legendary ban hammers of the Guardians. President Ani'-Wah' had this to say on the matter,
"Zoran is proud to have been part of the Resistance against the Crabbist Regime and we are glad to see the old order of the Meritocracy restored. While this whole Civil War in the Region was brutal I am glad to see peace in our time now. Hopefully unity can be brought to all nations of the region once more."
Resistance Forces 1-4 were broken up and returned to their respectful communes and were welcomed back with celebration and praise by the people of the communes for the troops service for fighting to preserve their autonomy and freedom.
The Defense Council has allowed crabs to be eaten once more but the people have said that they are now suspicious of any crab they see on the shore or in the markets. But the people of Zoran are happy that life has returned to normalcy.
 
Zoranian Platypus has made a comeback!
Today on April 3, 1420, scientists have reported that the population of the Zoranian Platypus has rebounded and has returned to high levels. People all over Zoran cheered and celebrated at this news as they were all worried about the population of the Platypus as industrial expansion had caused the population to decrease to the point where they were on the brink of extinction. Thanks to the combined efforts of public pressure on the federal government and local efforts by citizens of the country, the environmental conditions of Zoran has greatly improved and the natural habitat of the Zoranian Platypus has been restored. This has allowed for the population to rebound and return to stable and normal levels. Now efforts to sustain the population are being done and local communes have imposed laws to protect the platypus and since so many communes have done this, the Defense Council has made the rare decision to make a federal law to protect the platypus.

Welcome back!

Dilber is pretty great, and welcome back! Just blame him for everything like I do. 

PART ONE: ANATOLY TSYZYREV
Anatoly Tsyzyrev was a tall man and rather handsome. He was around thirty-eight years old and six foot three. Born in the far north of the country, his parents, Ivan and Maria Tsyzyrev, were rather wealthy. When Anatoly was born in 1382, his father was a former politician, but now the head of a mafia organisation. Because of his risky lifestyle in that occupation, Anatoly never met his father. If Ivan was traced and captured with his family, they would all be arrested.
In 1393, Ivan was detained by police after he was caught gambling in a casino, drunk. He was executed by firing squad a week later, which led to his mafia waging a war against the state - a war they could not and would not win. They were wiped out or arrested and were classed as 'non-existent' in January of 1384. Anatoly never knew his father, he only had a framed picture of Ivan standing next to Maria.
Anatoly grew up and went to university when he was 18, in 1400. But, in the dawn of the new century, Lanorth entered a new political phase. The military had seized power and  military dictatorship had subsequently been established. When the military first seized power, he supported them. But, when the leader of the state at the time, Vladimir Kudryatsev decided to wipe out all connections to organised crime in the former Lanorth, Anatoly panicked and went into hiding.
Maria was arrested in 1406 for her connection with Ivan and was sentenced to death, after being found guilty of being associated with the mafia. In 1407 she was executed. Word reached Anatoly in hiding where he was filled with rage. In this rage, he murdered two policemen after they knocked on his door during an inspection of the area. He dumped their bodies and fled south.
.In 1408, Anatoly had a child with Katerina Pomelov, a waitress he had met in a bar. But they started to distance after she learned who he was. Katerina still loved him, however and they went on to have two more children. Anatoly joined an underground organisation called 'A Better Lanorth'. They often smuggled in weapons from abroad and the Black Market was something they heavily relied on.
A supposedly infamous but yet wanted criminal in Lanorth, Anatoly was rather well known. The Government said he murdered eighteen policemen in a shootout, but this was all false. With the supposed crimes under his belt, he rose quickly up the ranks of the organisation and later became a Major General. Unfortunately, the deputy of the organisation was picked up by the Alexandrov Detective Agency in 1416. He died in police custody without giving anything away.
The head of the organisation, Yaroslav Melnikov, appointed Anatoly as his deputy. Anatoly then, in late December, visited Katerina who had moved closer to the coast. Around 20 minutes after leaving he was ambushed my soldiers. He managed to escape by boat to the islands. He hid in a cellar underground as soldiers searched the islands for him. He was nowhere to be found. He spent New Year's Day in that cellar.
He was only able to leave in March of 1417, when the soldiers finally began to let off their search. But instead of returning to the organisation, Anatoly decided to move in with Katerina. He remained with her until January 1419, when he returned to the organisation and still managed to keep his rank.
When he returned, he was met with open arms and was also alerted of the plan to restore democracy in Lanorth via a coup, where they would perform a raid on the residence of the leader of Lanorth, abduct him and transport him to the capital, where he is to hand power over to the organisation, who will reform politics in the country for the greater good.
If this succeeded, the organisation would be disbanded and every member would return to their everyday lives. If they failed, it would be catastrophic for the organisation. They had done a lot of planning and had bought up-to-date weaponry and kit from abroad and from the black market. Everything was going to plan. Now it was time to put the plan into action.

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 Zoranian Platypus on the Verge of Extinction
 
For centuries the Zoranian Platypus, who reside within the the great Relutan rain forest, has been a symbol of the Zoranian people. But with recent developments in industry and the deforestation of the rain forest, the very symbol of our people are now on the verge of extinction. The culture of Zoran could be completely changed forever if the platypus is allowed to go extinct. New rituals and prayers for the salvation of the platypus have recently been created by the spiritual group in the country. The platypus, the national animal, is held very dearly in the hearts of many Zoranians and the country's citizens are obligating the government, which seeks to limit its own power and responsibility, to take action and to make an effort in putting funding into a environmental department to help save the Zoranian Platypus and help its population make a comeback.

Hi I joined nationstate a day ago and I just wanted to introduce my nation, the Confederacy of Zoran.
