ARCHIVE Archives Hazelhurst Mast to be demolished The Bureau for Cultral Heritage and Tourism has announced that the 574m high radio tower is to be demolished by the end of 1403. From: Bureau for Cultural Heritage and Tourism Published: 17/09/1402 Location: Astana, Sekiya The Bureau for Cultural Heritage and Tourism has recently reached a significant decision regarding the iconic Hazelhurst Mast, Sekiya's tallest structure, standing tall at an imposing height of just over 570 meters just north of the city of Sonnenfeld Dictator Rupert Von Hazelhurst, driven by a fervent sense of nationalism and the desire to broadcast his ideologies across the heartland of Sekiya, embarked on the ambitious project of constructing the mast as a tool for powerful radio propaganda. This engineering marvel was envisioned to be the conduit through which his messages would reverberate, shaping public opinion and solidifying his grip on power. The Hazelhurst Mast, despite its historical significance, has been a subject of intense debate in recent years. The question of its preservation, restoration, or even potential dismantling has been a point of contention among cultural heritage experts, historians, and local communities. Some argue for the mast's preservation as a tangible link to a pivotal period in Sekiya's history, a stark reminder of the lengths to which power can be wielded and the sacrifices made for its attainment. Others, however, point to the tower's association with a dictator known for his oppressive regime and the tragic loss of life that accompanied its construction. Chief of Cultural Heritage and Tourism gave the following speech in front of the senate last Thursday: Following the speech, several parades in Sekora and across Sekiya were held, celebrating the planned removal of the structure that had long continued to taint Sekiyan history. It is expected that several other structures from the Hazelhurst era may meet the same fate, including the infamous 90 meter tall statue of Hazelhurst in Fëschenstad, that has been covered by scaffolding for the past decade.

Confidential - Chancellors Briefing on the situation near Aftokratoria Chancellor Amelia Marcus is briefed by Rear Admiral Mina Graf of the Sekiyan Expeditionary Fleet that was sent to Aftokratoria and Czuleck last month. Also present is Grand Admiral Apsel Wolff and the Chief of Strategic Defence, Radulf Gantzmann. Mina Graf: "Chancellor.. last weeks naval encounter is exactly why we need to send more ships. Operation Teilen is almost complete.. why not bring it forward by a few years?" Gantzmann: "Chancellor I must protest. If we send such a large fleet up north It will leave our shores horribly undefended." Marcus: "I see both of your points... Wolff, what is your opinion?" Wolff: "Well.. I dont think we can bring forward Operation Teilen.. and Gantzmann is right, we can't leave our shores so defended." Mina Graf: "But we have no enemies that could even reach Sekiya, let alone strike at our coast!" Wolff: "Mina... I appreciate your enthusiasm as an Admiral and you have my respect for reaching your position at such a young age and you're an amazing naval commander... however there are things about geopolitics you just don't understand yet." Gantzmann: "Wolff is right.. if we send more ships north, we're broadcasting to the world that Sekiya is ready for war... and frankly, we're not ready for a war if half of our navy is on the other side of the continent." Mina looked defeated Marcus: "Thank you, gentlemen... However, just entertain me. What would our situation look like right now if we put Operation Teilen into affect now..?" Mina looked excited Mina Graf: "Well-" Mina looked defeated, again. Marcus: "I'm asking Gantzmann." Gantzmann: "Well... The first problem is that we don't have a suitable base for the northern fleet. Additionally, we would currently need at least one, if not two more auxiliary ships to support this, however we have identified several nations we could purchase these vessels from." Marcus: "So it would be a logistical nightmare then..?" Gantzmann: "I'm afraid so.. We are still waiting on two more Holz-Class frigates to be laid down, however there have been significant delays in their construction. However, the two Cambric corvettes we ordered are well on the way and should be ready to sail in 5 months, however it's important to note it will take several months to train the crews for both of these vessels." Marcus: "It's a shame... I wish we were three years ahead of where we are now..however we will have to work with what we have. Wolff, Is there any way of sending reinforcements to Aftokratoria..?" Wolff: "I wouldn't recommend it at all.. however the RNS Castle's sister ship, the RNS Fortress could be sent, complimented by the frigate, RNS Enn. However, this leaves us with 1 destroyer, 3 frigates, 5 corvettes and 10 miscellaneous, dated missile craft." Mina Graf: "And the RNS Bastion..?" Wolff: "Realistically, at best the RNS Bastion is going to be out of commission for a year." Marcus: "Mina.. I wish there was more we could do, however I just don't think we have the resources for this...Thank you everyone for the briefing on this matter, I will be following the issue closely. Gantzmann, I will be seeing you later for the briefing on the situation on Campa Simpatica?" Gantzmann: "Yes, Chancellor.. until then." Marcus: "Mina.. stay for a minute, will you?" Gantzmann and Wolff leave. Mina Graf: "Yes.. Chancellor?" Marcus sighs, wishing she could do more for the young Admiral. Marcus: "Just know that.. I fully support your career in the navy, and I think in time, you will be one of the best in Sekiyan naval history.. however this time, there is sadly nothing we can do right now." Mina Graf: "Thank you Chancellor.. I'm sorry I got heated earlier." Marcus: "It's.. okay. Just stay focused on the expeditionary fleet for now, and I wish you safe travels back to the RNS Castle.

Transcript: You’re joining me, Tom Sock, in the Republic of Sekiya; a relatively unheard-of nation in Southern Nur. The nation had an industrial boom in the 1380s, and the economy has roared into one of the largest on the continent, growing by almost 8 times in 4 decades. However, the economy isn’t the only thing that has been growing – Its buildings have been too. Sekiya has placed heavy restrictions on high-rises to preserve the architecture of its cities, however the eastern province of Roudes tells a different story. Today, we’re going to be taking a closer look at Eisenhaustad, the financial capital in the East, as well as some of the tallest buildings in Sekiya! 1 – Horizont Tower, Eisenhaustad This is the tallest building in the country: The absolutely massive Horizont Tower. This mega structure comes in at a whopping 326 meters tall. The Horizont is a huge tourist attraction in the city, with the viewing platform on the 71st floor giving views of the city. The building is also an important office space, with many corporations basing operations from the tower. The building was constructed as a joint project led by the Sekiyan Direktbank and the Cambrian Alender and Kokk Holding Corp. Despite opening on time in 1419, the building has been under scrutiny following the partial collapse of an underground access road to the tower, leading to massive rebuilding works within the foundations. 2 – Kaiserstahl Platz, Eisenhaustad We’re at the Kaiserstahl Platz now, home to the mining and steel giant, Kaiserstahl. This humongous company was founded in 1305 as a Crown Company, however gained its autonomy in the 1320s. The company has grown with the nation, and has been Sekiya’s largest employer until 1401, when it was overtaken by the supermarket chain, Tescha. The building has a unique, triangular structure with 4 main sections and was completed in 1409. Many notable companies have their main offices here, including SekAir, IT-Strategie and farming giants AKI Leitz. Despite the building being primarily being funded by Kaiserstahl, the building also received significant funding from the Adaikesian International Development Agency (AIDA) and the United Adaikes Agency for International Cooperation (UAAIC), with both entities having regional offices here for Nuran programs, projects, and activities. 3 – Sekiya Financial Centre, Fischendorf Next, we take a long trip to the bustling port city of Fischendorf. The port here is one of the largest in the world, and acts as the primary gateway for goods to enter and leave the country. The Sekiyan Financial Centre acts as the main office for Sekiya’s largest shipping company, Hurtigruten AS, that holds a 5% share of its part of the building, however the building is primarily owned by the Giovannilandian construction company Korporatia Benaventura, with the Sekiyan Kreditbank also having a 40% share. The building overlooks the port and harbour area, and is one of the only buildings outside of Eisenhaustad in Sekiya that is over 150 metres tall. 4 – Himmelsstern, Eisenhaustad Back in Eisenhaustad, we’re looking at Himmelsstern, Sekiya’s newest skyscraper. Completed in 1420, the project was primarily funded by the Cambrian engineering company, JANEK Grupp. The building is home to many corporations, including Logiseikia, who own the remaining share of the building. Himmelsstern has attracted many multinational companies and has regional offices from corporations from all over Esferos, including Triaco Pharma and S.L. International, both from Saranzio. Most impressively about Himmelsstern is its mall. With a total of 7 floors starting from the 2nd basement level, this mall is the largest in Sekiya by both value and size. Shoppers can find fashion, jewelry, tech, and even car showrooms for Silberpfeil and Eckhard-Walter. 5 – Die Turm, Eisenhaustad Die Turm is a 211m-tall skyscraper that stands as the tallest building in the Katzeinsel district of Eisenhaustad. Designed by architect Friedrich Klein and completed in 1422, it features a stunning glass façade that reflects light and changes color depending on the time of day. With 50 floors, Die Turm is a multi-use building with the first 10 floors dedicated to office space, while the rest of the floors offer luxurious apartments. Visitors can also take in the breathtaking view of the city from the observation deck on top of the building. Whether you're a tourist or a resident, Die Turm is a must-see attraction that showcases the best of modern architecture.

Sekiya in the United Adaikes Badminton Invitational The United Adaikes Badminton Invitational is a highly anticipated event for many badminton enthusiasts in Sekiya. The country has a rich history with the sport, which has been loved by many since its introduction in the late 14th century. The Fischendorf Times article about Kaiser Wolfgang I's fondness for badminton sparked widespread interest in the sport, leading to its rapid growth across the country. Today, badminton is played by millions of people in Sekiya, with schools and local clubs offering opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to enjoy the game. The three participants selected to represent Sekiya in the UABI are all accomplished badminton players with impressive records. Lotte Olson, at just 21 years old, has already made a name for herself in the sport, winning the upper bracket of the U18s Tournament at the age of 15. Jean-Luc Ries, despite suffering a dislocated arm at the age of 14, has made a remarkable comeback and won the prestigious Badminton Cup. Finally, Marie Erikkson, a former tennis player, discovered her love for badminton while serving in the Republican Airforce, becoming the best badminton player in the military. Sekiya's participation in the UABI is seen as a great honor, and many are eager to see how the country's talented players will fare against the other teams. The UABI is expected to be a fierce competition, with some of the best badminton players from across the world coming together to battle it out for the championship title. Regardless of the outcome, Sekiya's participation in the event is a testament to the country's love for the sport and its commitment to promoting athletic excellence.

Timeline Ancient (B.F. 2000 - 0 A.F.) TBD Early (1 A.F. - 468 A.F.) TBD Dahmish Empire (469 A.F. - 498 A.F.) TBD Medieval (499 A.F. - 909 A.F.) TBD First Sekiyan Kingdom (910 A.F. - 931 A.F.) TBD Petty Kingdoms (932 - 1202 A.F.) Following the dissolution of the first Astanan Kingdom and the occupation by Giovanniland of Sekiya's 2 largest ports, the region entered a period of very little growth or change. Second Sekiyan Kingdom (1203 - 1325 A.F.) Declaration of the Second Sekiyan Kingdom The petty kingdom era in Sekiya broke, when in May 12 1203, Australis entered into a personal union under Astana. This led to much greater cooperation between the two kingdoms. This also gave Astana access to the Australese Waffenlager, the largest armoury in Sekiya at the time. Now with access to more manpower, industrial capability and weaponry, Astana declared the Second Sekiyan Kingdom. First Coalition War Lasting only 8 months, the first coalition war was fought between Astana & Australis against a coalition of the Custodian Mountain Republic, Nursylvanian Kingdom and the Vinningan Republic. Whilst Astana barely won, they managed to fully occupy the Vinningan Republic. Astana lost some land in the south to Custodia and Nursylvania, however took Vinningan as a puppet Kingdom, installing the Prince of Astana as the Vinningan's new king. First Sekiyan War (1326 A.F. - 1329 A.F.) The Sekiyan State (1330 - 1371) A small disclaimer about this time of Sekiyan history. In no way is Hazelhurst glorified by me or my nation's history in any way. This is simply my way of exploring how fascism could so easily destroy a country, and the lasting damage that this period of history still has on Sekiya today. Overview The Sekiyan State was established following General Rupert Von Hazelhurst's victory in the First Sekiyan War. The country's feudal system was scrapped for a dictatorship under Hazelhurst and his inner circle. The people of Sekiya suffered massively under the Sekiyan state. Despite strong economic growth, industrialization and urbanization during the Sekiyan State, it came at the loss of freedom and the lives of Sekiyans. Several of Hazelhurst's policies were: Centralization - The Sekiyan State had an extremely centralized government, focused around Hazelhurst and his inner circle. Governors were appointed to districts, created to better organised local police forces and taxation. These districts were deliberately drawn to divide communities so that it would be harder for a single district to enter a stage of revolt. Censorship - All media from the outside world was thoroughly checked before being allowed into Sekiya. Huge government spending - Hazelhurst was a staunch fascist, and believed that the people should work for the good of the state. Due to this, huge taxes were placed on the people, with humongous amounts of money being poured into rails, highways, industrial subsidies and several personal projects of Hazelhurst's, including palaces, resorts and monuments. Additionally, the police received heavy funding to put down radical movements. Extreme Autarky - Hazelhurst also enforced several laws that enforced Autarky in Sekiya, as he believed that Sekiya must be ready to fight on it's own at any point. Religious suppression - During this time, the Sekiyan State became an atheist state, and Hazelhurst caused the destruction and/or repurposement of roughly 50% of Sekiya's religious sites, with many being converted into monuments to the Sekiyan State. Historical suppression - Sekiyan education was heavily modified, with Sekiya being placed at the center of world maps in all schools, and pupils being taught that Hazelhurst was the first person in history to unify Sekiya. Around 33% of Sekiyan historical artifacts and recorded texts were destroyed. Urbanization - Hazelhurst recognized that Sekiya's agricultural economy wasn't going to take the nation into the future, and started stealing land from farmers and forcing them to live in the cities and transition to factory work. Discrimination - Hazelhurst's illness and death Hazelhurst became severely ill in 1367. In the decade leading to his illness, his inner circle had fallen apart, and the county was ready to collapse, with Hazelhurst being the only thing holding it together. Hazelhurst named Conrad Fuchs as his successor, however Fuchs' position in Sekiya was relatively weak compared to other players seeking control of Sekiya. The Second Sekiyan War (1372 - 1376) Overview Hazelhurst finally died in 1368. Fuchs led the country for 53 hours before Sekiya errupted into a civil war, and within a week, there were 7 factions fighting for control of Sekiya. Factions & Their goals There were 7 factions in the Second Sekiyan War: Conrad Fuchs' army - As the designated successor of Hazelhurst within the Sekiyan State, Conrad Fuchs was a devoted follower of Hazelhurst's ideology, poised to carry forward his legacy of tyranny. Capitalizing on his son's position as the governor of southern Pacifika at the time, Fuchs successfully garnered the allegiance of the Pacifikan Military District. Karl Baier's army - Karl Baier, a figure even more malevolent than Hazelhurst in Sekiya, aimed to bring about radical changes to the country. His tenure as Governor of Nursylvania witnessed over a million Dahmish citizens subjected to forced labor to fuel his war campaign. With a firm grasp over the southern region, Baier managed to compel the Dahme Military District into serving his cause. Rudolf Dasher's army - Rudolf Dasher, a high-ranking intelligence operative, gained support by pledging to reintegrate Sekiya with the global community. Through years of strategic efforts as an intelligence officer, he asserted considerable control over the central Sekiya garrisons, which granted him access to a significant portion of Sekiya's airforce. Sekiyan Navy - Formed primarily to safeguard the assets of the Sekiyan navy during the civil war, this faction emerged due to concerns that the navy might suffer significant losses in the conflict. Free Pacifikan Army - The FPA had a straightforward objective: to establish an autonomous Pacifikan state, free from the influence of Sekiya. Steel Guard - Functioning primarily as a defensive force, the Steel Guard abstained from direct engagement and focused on shielding Australis from the war's impact. North Freedom Army - Similar to the FPA, the NFA fought for the sovereignty of a liberated Karlovan state. Sharing parallel goals, the NFA and FPA swiftly established a truce between themselves. The faction borders at the start of the war. First Stage of the civil war At the beginning, the NFA and Baier's army directed their attention towards confronting Fuchs' forces. Baier recognized that his chances of success greatly depended on capturing the Sekiyan capital Astera before others. Simultaneously, the NFA pursued their own bid for the capital, understanding that holding Astera would provide them leverage for negotiating their independence. This competition gave rise to a series of clashes with Fuchs' army, later referred to as the 'Race to Astera'. On the flip side, Dasher aimed to prevent either the NFA or Baier from gaining control over the capital. To achieve this, he formed a temporary truce with Fuchs and initiated an offensive against the Sekiyan Navy, which was comparatively weaker and less willing to engage. Despite having control over the Sekiyan Fleet, the navy lacked substantial ground forces, leading to territorial losses until a deadlock was reached approximately 50 kilometers north of Fischendorf. Minor conflicts flared up between the PMD and FPA in the Pacifika region, with both sides making gradual advancements of only about a kilometer each time. Concerned about the threat posed by Baier in the south, Dasher and Fuchs collaborated on a coordinated attack in the later part of 1373. This endeavor led to the establishment of the Dasher-Fuchs pact, a military alliance between the two factions. Fuchs consented to many of Dasher's stipulations, including the reintroduction of Sekiya into the global marketplace. Following the formation of this pact, the NFA redirected their efforts towards challenging the Steel Guard, recognizing the impracticality of their capital-focused strategy. They swiftly secured territories in the northern regions but encountered logistical difficulties in the expansive Great Australese Plains. The faction borders in early 1374. Baier's defeat and arrival of the DLA. In late 1374, Baier met his end through an airstrike, marking the termination of his tyrannical rule. Seizing this opportunity, the previously oppressed Dahmish Liberation Army engaged Dasher and Fuchs, securing much of the southern territories once controlled by Baier. Just three months after Baier's demise, Fuchs suffered a similar fate, succumbing to an assassination involving a ricin pellet. Consequently, the Dasher-Fuchs alliance crumbled, allowing the DLA to overpower a significant portion of the combined forces in the southern region. Dasher incorporated the remaining lands and forces previously under Fuchs' command, which encompassed vital locations such as Sekora, Sekiya's largest city, and the capital, Astera. With Fuchs out of the picture, the Pacifikan Military District swiftly disintegrated, falling under the influence of the FPA. By the end of 1375, the civil conflict reached a standstill. The navy, displaying unwavering resolve, persisted in resisting Dasher's ultimatums. Recognizing their shared objectives, the NFA, DLA, and FPA united in the Dissolution Pact. This pact was established with the aim of countering Dasher's Sekiya and reverting the nation to its 756 borders. The intention was to keep Sekiya divided, ensuring no single nation within the region would wield disproportionate power. Conversely, Dasher persisted in his pursuit of a united Sekiya. Although Dasher retained the upper hand in terms of authority within the conflict, his front against the Dissolution Pact was stretched thin, characterized by lengthy and fragile lines of defense. The faction borders in 1376 End of the civil war In a genuine effort to establish peace, Lieutenant General Horst Stein, the third-ranking officer in Dasher's army, and Vice-Marshal Paula Blitzky, second in command of the Dissolution faction, convened in secrecy and devoted a week to meticulously negotiating the terms of reconciliation. Subsequent to their discussions, both parties reached a consensus on the proposed peace terms. The conclusion of the prolonged conflict entailed significant concessions from each side: The inhabitants of Karlovo, Pacifika, and Dahme were granted equivalent rights to those of Astanan Sekiyans, fostering a sense of equality and inclusivity. Sekiya underwent a transformation into a fully functional democracy, upholding the principle of nondiscrimination across all segments of society. The formulation of the 'Sekiyan Charter' took place, delineating the foundational principles of the new democratic system established in Sekiya. Geographical divisions were altered, replacing districts with states, a change aimed at providing a more accurate representation of the diverse cultures within the nation. Considerable autonomy was vested in the states, enabling them to govern their internal affairs to a significant extent. A momentous measure involved the dismantling of all paramilitary groups, which were amalgamated to forge a unified Republican Military, aligning with the principles of a more unified and stable nation. War exhaustion on both sides led to the acceptance of the peace deal, and a ceasefire occurred on 12 December, 1376. The war was officially ended on the 30th December following the ratification of the peace deal, and the surrender of the Sekiyan Navy and the Steel Guard The Stall (1377 - 1414) "The Stall" refers to a period of rebuilding following the attempted coup and substantial civil war, during which the country saw very little growth. During this time, the capital was moved temporarily during the rebuilding efforts of the old capital, however the change became permanent due to the new location being more accessible and suitable for the nation, as well now being in a neutral part of the Nation that wasn't heavily influenced by any one faction or culture. During this time, a huge effort to restore Sekiya's holy sites & cultural buildings began. Centrist Restoration (1414 - ) The "Centrist Restoration" is the official name given to the current period that Sekiya is in, and is a term given to refer to several significant changes being made to the country by the Centrist party. This includes tax cuts, increased military & infrastructure spending and significantly decreased welfare spending. The Centrist Restoration has received mixed criticism from within and outside the country, with some calling it the "Centrist destruction". Several human rights groups within Esferos have criticized the government for abolishing "Sek-Care", a tax-funded healthcare pot that could be allocated to those unable to pay medical bills.

Mythology & Religion Overview Starism is a polytheistic religion that originated in Sekiya and is primarily practiced within the nation. While the religion has little following outside of the country, it holds great significance to almost all Sekiyans, with around a quarter whom view it as a fundamental part of their cultural identity. Starism features numerous deities, each with their own unique role and purpose within the religion. The name and image of Starism come from the Great Central Star, seen at certain points of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. The star, on a clear night, will shine with 4 points. It is said this Star is the location of Nor, the 'heaven' for Starists. Starism symbol Great Central Star The central tenet of Starism is the belief that it is essential to maintain the favor of all the gods. To achieve this, followers of the religion are encouraged to follow a set of principles that promote kindness and respect towards all. Specifically, these principles involve showing love and compassion towards friends and foes alike, as well as demonstrating reverence for the natural world that the gods created. Additionally, followers of Starism are encouraged to display honour and respect towards every individual, regardless of their status or station in life. Finally, Starism teaches that individuals should always strive to achieve the highest level of greatness in all that they do, as this honors both themselves and the gods they worship. According to Starism, those who fully commit to and successfully live by these principles throughout their lives will be rewarded with a place in Nor, an astral world located millions of light years away. Nor is believed to be a place where negative emotions, actions, and experiences cannot reach, offering a sort of eternal bliss to those who achieve it. However, those who fail to live up to these ideals will not attain a place in Nor. Instead, they will be reborn into Esferos, the physical world in which Sekiya is located. This cycle of rebirth is thought to continue until an individual is able to live in accordance with the principles of Starism and earn a place in Nor. Modern Trends In the modern Era, many Sekiyans do not identify as Starist, however Starism still plays a large part in Sekiyan's lives through national holidays, events and media. Holy Sites Starism has 4 main holy sites, all within Sekiya. Monastery of Beck - The Monastery of Beck is a historic landmark located at the heart of the ancient city of Beck. With its roots dating back to the founding of the city, the monastery has borne witness to centuries of change and upheaval, yet remains a symbol of stability and faith in the community. Eifel Stone Circle - The Eifel Stone Circle is one of the oldest and most mysterious holy sites of Starism. It is a collection of large standing stones arranged in a circular formation, located in the county of Eifel, within Karlsbierg. The stones are believed to have been placed by Erda and Ei to teach Starists about astronomical ideas, and the site is now considered sacred by Starism followers who visit the circle to connect with the natural world and honor the gods who built it. Mount Arla - Mount Arla is a majestic peak located in the east of Sekiya, and it is considered the holiest site of Starism. It is said that the mountain is the dwelling place of the gods, and Starism followers believe that climbing to the summit of Mount Arla is a spiritual pilgrimage that can bring great blessings and enlightenment. The ascent to the peak is a challenging and dangerous journey, but it is a revered undertaking for those who seek to deepen their connection to the divine. Vinningen Monastery - The Vinningen Monastery is a secluded and serene spiritual retreat located on an island just 1 kilometer off the coast of the coastal city of Vinningen. Accessible only by boat, the monastery is a true sanctuary for Starists that wish to seek solitude within their faith. With its stunning views of the sea and the surrounding landscape, the monastery offers visitors a chance to connect with nature and find inner peace. The monks and nuns who reside at the monastery are renowned for their wisdom and kindness, and provide guidance and support to those who seek it. Deities At the head of Starism are Erda, the god of time and fate, and Ei, the goddess of the land and fertility. The Astral Daughters were the first children of Erda and Ei, and they represent concepts that go beyond physical matter. Liefrau is the goddess of love and associated with marriage, fertility, and romance. Lula is the god of Nor, and is said to judge those worthy of entering the land of Nor after death. Heli is the goddess of light, with control over the sun and the stars. She uses her power to keep Esferos from freezing over, making her one of the most powerful gods in Sekiya. The Earthly Brothers are the youngest children of Erda and Ei, and they represent a young spirit. Degô is the god of war, rewarding those who fight for the greater good in battle, with the promise of being sent to Nor if they die. Jagô is the god of hunting, ensuring that hunters are able to provide for their families and protecting Sekiyans on land. Blagô is the god of the sea, protecting those who fish or travel by sea. The Lesser Gods are humans who were uplifted by the gods to serve Sekiyans. Vulkan is the god of fire, once a legendary forge who was murdered by a competitor. He accepted the position of God of Fire and brought the formula for Sekiyan Steel to the land. Amor is the goddess of wine and festival, who was once a vinyard owner. Her wine was so good that even the gods had a taste for it, and she was offered the position of goddess to share her festival with all. Merkur is the god of luck, known for being the luckiest man alive. When visited by Degô, he proved his luck and was offered the position of God of Luck to bring good fortune to all Sekiyans. Random Trivia When the invention of the light bulb made it's way to Sekiya, there was fierce opposition from certain Starist groups, as they believed that it was an insult to the power of Heli. Eifel County's rolling hills are rumored to have been where Ei once tilled the land to create a garden for her children. The flag of Sekiya can be traced back several hundreds of years to the 4-pointed star, which slowly adapted into a cross.

Delegates in the House represent the citizens of the entire country, irrespective of their federal republic of origin. The House is responsible for introducing and debating national legislation. Senate The Senate ensures that all federal republics have an equal say in the legislative process. Each Constituent Republic sends an equal number of senators to the Senate, regardless of its population or size. The Senate reviews and approves legislation passed by the House of Delegates and provides a check on the power of the House. Federal Courts - Judicial Branch The Federal Court system ensures the rule of law and resolves legal disputes at the federal level.

Previously, other influential Sekiyans have held positions on the Federal Council, including the Chairman of Kaiserstahl between 1303 - 1306.

They typically have two chambers, similar to the federal Congress, with most states having a House of Representatives and a Senate. The number of representatives varies by state, based on population and other factors. State legislatures deal with issues that are within the state's jurisdiction, such as education, transportation, healthcare, and criminal justice.

State governments have the flexibility to address local needs and tailor policies to their specific circumstances while working within the framework of the Sekiyan Charter.

Top three Sekiyan dog breeds you can own Hello Sekiya! Today, we will present to you, the viewer, an article which may be our most important article ever written! Today, we will be counting down the top 5 dog breeds native to Sekiya! Number Three - Flusslandian Shepherd For over five centuries, the Flusslandian Shepherd has been an invaluable companion to farmers in Flussland. This breed boasts exceptional intelligence, ranking among the top ten most intelligent dogs in Esferos. It is believed that the breed originated in Southern Nur, where a harsh winter forced many to seek refuge in Sekiya. There, they were taken in by Flusslandian sheep farmers for their remarkable herding abilities. Today, the Flusslandian Shepherd is beloved by dog owners worldwide, thanks to its capacity for learning new tricks quickly and its irresistibly charming coat. In Sekiya and beyond, these dogs have become a firm favorite among pet owners, serving not only as loyal companions but also as a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their animal counterparts. Number Two - Sylvanian Wolfhound Hailing from the chilly forests of Nursylvania, the Sylvanian Wolfhound is a breed of dog that was specially bred for wolf hunting. This majestic breed remains Nurland's state animal to this day, and though its numbers have dwindled over time, it is still frequently kept as a companion by rural families. Sylvanian Wolfhounds, affectionately referred to as "Sylvies," are known for their playful personalities and their distinctively elongated snouts. Despite their hunting lineage, they have a gentle and friendly demeanor that endears them to many. For those who appreciate the unique combination of elegance and ruggedness, the Sylvanian Wolfhound is truly a breed worth admiring. Number One - Mittellandian Sighthound The Mittellandian Sighthound was initially bred for hunting purposes, but when poaching laws were tightened in 1378, it gained popularity among the people of Sekiya as a beloved household pet. Farmers in particular began keeping Mittellandian Sighthounds to protect their crops and livestock from small mammals, given the breed's natural instincts. Over time, the Mittellandian Sighthound has become a favorite breed throughout the country, thanks in part to its widespread availability. While its hunting skills are still admired, it is now more commonly appreciated for its friendly and loyal temperament. As a faithful companion, the Mittellandian Sighthound has earned its place as a cherished member of many households in Sekiya and beyond. Final word As a newspaper that values the welfare of both its readers and their furry companions, we strongly believe that dogs can be a Sekiyan's best and most loyal friend. However, before making a decision to bring a dog into your home, it is essential to carefully consider whether you have the time, resources, and commitment required to provide them with the care and attention they need. Each of the dog breeds featured in this article has specific needs that must be met in order for them to thrive. This includes regular exercise, frequent walks, and access to open spaces where they can run and play. As such, it is important to assess whether you have the time and energy to provide them with adequate exercise and socialization. Before making a purchase or adoption, we encourage potential dog owners to read its comprehensive guide for dog owners. This guide provides advice and information on topics such as selecting the right breed for your lifestyle, basic training and socialization, and proper nutrition and healthcare. By taking the time to fully educate yourself on what it takes to care for a dog, you can make an informed decision that will ensure both you and your new furry friend have a happy and healthy life together.

Address by the Minister of Defence for Sekiya at DSIG Convention: "Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed guests, and fellow defenders of peace, It is an honour to stand before you today at this groundbreaking convention. As the Minister of Defence for Sekiya, I am proud to witness the unveiling of the latest advancements in military technology and the indomitable spirit of Sekiyan innovation exhibited by DSIG. DSIG has been an important partner in our nation's defence for over seven decades. From its humble beginnings to becoming a pioneer in armoured vehicle manufacturing, DSIG's journey reflects the unwavering commitment to technological excellence and the safeguarding of our nation's security. In the dynamic landscape of modern warfare, the challenges we face are ever evolving. Other nations grow more sophisticated, and the demands on our armed forces require us to stay at the forefront of innovation. DSIG, with its relentless pursuit of excellence, has been a vital collaborator in our mission to ensure the safety and sovereignty of Sekiya. As we witness the unveiling of the Qilin Armoured Assault Vehicle it is a testament to DSIG's dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is possible. These technological marvels showcase not only the might of our armed forces but also the ingenuity of our domestic defence industry. In closing, let us celebrate the achievements unveiled at this convention. The collaboration between our forces and DSIG exemplifies the synergy required to secure our nation's future. Together, we stand ready to face the challenges of tomorrow, armed with innovation, determination, and the steadfast commitment to the safety and prosperity of Sekiya. Thank you and may our partnership with DSIG continue to flourish and safeguard the peace we hold dear."

Qilin Armoured Assault Vehicle DSIG is proud to present its expansion into the AAV market! Let's have a look at the Qilin AAV and its capabilities! Versatile Armament Suite The Qilin is able to be mounted with a whole range of armaments, from Anti-Air missiles, Anti-Tank Missiles, a stabilized autocannon or a dual coaxial machinegun. The gun can also be fitted with a satellite dish, allowing the Qilin to act as a mobile radio centre. Amphibious Capability Depending on its armament, the Qilin can easily traverse rivers and operate with limited function underwater for brief periods of time. Composite Armour and Active Protection The Qilin has a similar armour composition to the Damao Main Battle Tank and incorporates similar AP systems to protect against incoming projectiles. C4ISR Integration At the core of the Qilin's capabilities is its integration into Sekiya's C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Recconaissance) network. This allows the Qilin to exchange data in real time with Sekiya's defence network. Built-in Drone Capability Perhaps one of the most revolutionary features of the Qilin is the incorporation of an optional UAV dock and interface. This allows the Qilin to expand its reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities into the sky.

What is DSIG? Shortly after the Nuran war, veteran tank commander Wang Zhiming founded Damao South Industries Group (DSIG) in the 1340s in the state of Damao. Wang had experienced both the pros and cons of Sekiyan Armour, and had learnt firsthand where improvements could be made. DSIG Originally started out making advanced optics for light armour, with a focus on improved gunner sights and periscopes. Following the success of this venture, DSIG turned to the research of compositions and began producing cast armour for the Yin Group. As DSIG accumulated experience in the defence sector, the company began planning it's first armoured weapons system: the Damao Main Battle Tank. The tank took around a decade to design and would go on to win a government contract to make Sekiya's next generation of MBT. Following this, DSIG started to expand. First, it went north into the state of Saiqi, before expanding into Cuiyu and Heping. Following the development of the new Damao 3 MBT, another plant was opened in Daxing. Current Locations: Red: Damao State DSIG continues to be the driving force in the development of tanks in Sekiya and has currently produced 3 generations of the Damao MBT. Generations of the Damao MBT: Damao 1A (1363) - The Damao 1A marked DSIG's entry into Sekiya's list of defence conglomerates. Replacing the dated 1342 Yin MT, the Damao 1A boasted enhanced firepower and advanced systems. Damao 1B (1367) - In the wake of better electronics, the Damao 1B had a better firing computer and stabiliser. Damao 1C (1373) - The Damao 1C introduced improved frontal armour and advanced communications systems. Damao 2A (1383) - The Damao 2A introduced a Hybrid Electric Drive system and a Composite Modular Armour, as well as an overall redesign to the hull and engine, keeping the same turret as the Damao 1C. Damao 2B (1392) - The Damao 2B introduced early Active Protection Systems, as well as a redesigned crew service, giving more space in the interior. Damao 3A (1414) - The Damao 3A introduced a radical overhaul of the tanks overall design. It features advancements in signature reduction and implements basic AI into the tank that assists with real-time threat analysis, predictive maintenance and decision support. Additionally, the Damao 3A marked the first upgrade in calibre, with a 120mm smoothbore cannon. What will be expected to be shown at the First DSIG Convention? It is speculated that the convention will reveal the Damao 3B, the successor to the Damao 3A, however it is currently not yet known what changes this may bring. Additionally, leaks have speculated that Damao will be unveiling a new line of Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Damao has confirmed that it will be showcasing its state-of-the-art VR Training Simulations. These VR Zones will allow participants to sit in a replica of a Damao 3A, with the viewpoints replaced with the virtual scene. The Simulator is able to simulate shock, fire and over 20 different scenarios in different biomes. A scaled down demo has currently been on the published on several VR consoles and the simulator is expected to exit testing in late 1424, where it will be used by the Sekiyan Army to train its tank crews.
