Heya folks! I'm doing some research on the history of our regional flag and am hoping to do a little crowdsourcing to fill some gaps and see what old images folks have on their computers. If there are any mistakes in what I've gathered so far, please let me know! If you've also got any other versions of regional flags or TWPAF flags, I would love to collate them here for this effort.
If anyone's got stories about the flag as well I'd love to hear them! I have a few of my own re: the most recent two flags that I'll add later.
This is what I've got so far, with a very small amount of research:

State Dinner
Between: The Free State of Dalimbar, the Kingdom of Giovanniland, and the Holy Principality of Saint Mark

Markus Briand, the Marshal of Dalimbar, walks into his office at the Oborin Palace accompanied by his trusted assistant, Colonel Natalia Kuznetsova. They have just returned from a tour of the palace, checking the final preparations for the State Dinner, which will be attended by Prince Marcarius of Saint Mark and King Giovanni VI of Giovanniland, along with their entourages.
While no longer the residence of the Marshal, he maintains an office in one of the many ornate rooms of Oborin Palace. The walls are adorned with intricate gold leaf designs and priceless paintings, while the ceiling features a breathtaking fresco of a hunting scene. The room is illuminated by dozens of crystal chandeliers, which cast a warm glow over the elegant furnishings.
The Marshal takes a moment to gaze around the room, admiring the opulence of the palace. "Oborin Palace truly is a sight to behold" he remarks to Kuznetsova. "We are lucky that my predecessors built and maintained this. Col. Kuznetsova, how are the preparations for the State Dinner coming along?" Briand asks, taking a seat behind his desk.
Kuznetsova nods in agreement. "Sir, everything is going according to plan and we have spared no expense in preparing for this event. The kitchen staff is putting the finishing touches on the menu, which includes dishes from several districts of the Free State, and the floral arrangements have arrived and are being set up as we speak."
The Marshal smiles, knowing that Col. Kuznetsova's attention to detail is second to none. "Excellent work, Colonel. We have an opportunity here to showcase our hospitality to the world", the Marshal begins. "As a state often away from the rest, we must make the most of this occasion to strengthen our ties with these foreign powers, Saint Mark and Giovanniland."
Colonel Kuznetsova nods in agreement. "It is an exciting time for Dalimbar, sir," she says. "Hosting the Rugby World Cup, now a state dinner with two foreign powers. It has been a lot of work but our guests will be impressed and comfortable here in Oborin Palace."
Briand smiles. "Good work, Colonel. I know I can count on your attention to detail."
"Thank you, sir," Kuznetsova replies with a smile.
Markus walks over to the window, overlooking the grand gardens of the palace. "This event is crucial to our foreign relations. It is an opportunity for us to strengthen the ties between our countries and build new partnerships. Perhaps with things less tense with the Astorian Union bloc, we need to explore the rest of the world for opportunity and trade."
Colonel Kuznetsova chimes in, "Absolutely, sir. And we must ensure that our guests from Saint Mark and Giovanniland leave with nothing but positive impressions of our country."
Markus nods in agreement. "Precisely. We must show them the best of our traditions, culture, and cuisine."
As Colonel Kuznetsova leaves the room, Markus takes one last look out the window, taking a deep breath before turning back to his desk. With the preparations in the capable hands of his trusted assistant, he can rest easy knowing that the State Dinner will be a success and that the guests from Saint Mark and Giovanniland will be impressed with the hospitality of Dalimbar. Markus Briand remembers another crucial detail. "Oh, one more thing, Colonel. Don't forget to have the highlights of the Rugby World Cup playing on the televisions throughout the palace. We are hosting the tournament, after all."
"Of course, sir," Kuznetsova replies with a nod. "And congratulations on Dalimbar's victory yesterday. We have advanced to the Quarter Finals."
Markus grins with pride. "Yes, it was a great victory against Kalmach. But let's not forget that Saint Mark and Giovanniland lost their matches in the Round of 16. We must be gracious hosts and ensure that they enjoy their time here despite the results on the rugby field."
"Absolutely, sir," Kuznetsova agrees, and with a final nod, she exits the room.
Markus takes a deep breath, feeling the weight of responsibility on his shoulders as he prepares to host this important State Dinner. But with the preparations well underway and the hospitality of Dalimbar in full display, he is confident that the evening will be a success.

The Common Trust for Generic Medicines (CTGM) was established by the Hier in 1372. At the time, there was a growing concern among the public about the high cost of prescription drugs and the lack of access to essential medicines for many people. The trade associations and non-juridical trade unions seized this as a critical issue affecting the health and well-being of their members and the wider population.
CTGM was created as a public corporation with the mandate to manufacture, distribute, and export affordable generic pharmaceuticals. The trust's founding principles were to ensure that essential medicines are accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status, and to use its profits to fund research and development of new drugs that were not profitable for private companies.
CTGM's founding was not without controversy, as it faced fierce opposition from private pharmaceutical companies and their lobbyists, who argued that the trust would harm innovation and free-market competition. However, CTGM persevered and quickly gained support from the public, health professionals, and policymakers who recognized the urgent need for affordable medications.
Over the years, CTGM has grown and diversified its product line, including the development of generic versions of drugs used to treat common chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma. CTGM has also invested in research and development of new drugs that target neglected diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria, that disproportionately affect developing countries.
Since its founding, the CTGM has become a major player in the pharmaceutical industry in Nieubasria. It has established partnerships with healthcare providers, pharmacies, and distributors across the country to ensure that its products are widely available. The CTGM has also begun exporting its products to other countries, helping to make affordable medication more widely available throughout the world. Today, CTGM is a leading producer of affordable generic drugs in Nieubasria and a respected member of the international pharmaceutical industry. Its mission remains steadfast in ensuring that essential medicines are accessible to everyone and to use its profits to advance medical research and development.
The CTGM is governed by a board of directors appointed by the related trade associations that founded the corporation. The board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the CTGM, ensuring that the corporation is financially sustainable, and overseeing its operations.
CTGM leads the Astorian Strategy on Generic Medicines and Biosimilars. This strategy coordinates the development of product lines to prevent duplication of efforts, advises on tariffs for the import and export of medicines from the Astorian Union, and promotes international cooperation on medicine manufacture. 
 
 

Alcheran Parliament Proceedings
April 15, 1423
Current Business - 11:00 Member Statements
 
 
Speaker: "Member Silvestre is recognized for statement."
Islom Silvestre: "Not only as a representative of the Social Growth Compact, but as an Alcheran citizen, I am appalled by the President's extension of the license of the Basric Common Trust for Generic Medicines. It is utterly unacceptable for this corporation, set up by the legislature of another country, to be allowed to come in and undercut our local pharmaceutical companies. This move not only hurts our economy, but it puts the livelihoods of many Alcherans at risk.
"The CTGM claims to be providing affordable generic medicines to those who need it, but at what cost? There are several pharmaceutical companies that have been providing essential medicines domestically for many years. These companies have invested heavily in research and development, however, since the CTGM entered the market, they have been undercutting these companies by selling generic versions of the same drugs at a fraction of the price.
"By driving local companies out of business, they are essentially monopolizing the market and have the potential to drive up prices in the future. This move not only harms our economy, but it undermines the principles of fair competition and equitable trade.
"It is understandable that the CTGM wants to provide affordable medication to those who need it, but it is important to do so in a way that does not harm local industries. Instead of simply undercutting their competitors, the CTGM should be working with local companies to find ways to reduce the cost of medication without putting them out of business. By doing so, they can help to build sustainable healthcare systems that benefit everyone.
"Furthermore, it is insulting for our President's staff to suggest that our local pharmaceuticals are not of the same quality as those produced by CTGM. Our companies follow the same safety and quality standards as any other reputable pharmaceutical company, and we have a long history of producing effective medicines for our people.
"I call on the President to rethink his approach and to work with our local companies rather than against them. It is time for us to prioritize the well-being of our own people and our own economy, rather than simply prioritizing profits for a foreign corporation."

Signups and OOC Thread
There's already a lot of talk about doing an F1-like competition for Esferos. But while I open this signup and OOC thread, this gives me a gauge of how many people actually want to do it and provides an initial baseline of the number of users willing to RP until the end of the season/calendar of this competition.
This competition (emphasis on the word I used, "competition," rather than "tournament") will be different from the usual because this will not happen and will end in just one (1) month. I am currently looking at the season/calendar for this competition will roughly be eight (8) months, depending on the number of signups. However, we will only utilize a maximum of one week per event per month to minimize RP-writing burnouts. A race weekend will start on a Friday with practice, with qualifyings happening on Saturday, and the competitive race on Sunday.
For roleplays in the season, I will allow as much as one (1) week before the start of the practice for RPs to be posted. Cut-offs will happen three times in a race weekend, one before scorinating the results of the practice (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), one before scorinating the results of the qualifying (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), and one before scorinating the results of the race (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), for a total of three (3) points from RPing for the whole weekend.
A season-wide RP bonus will also be given for teams and drivers RPing on the signing of a driver for the team (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), the teams and engine manufacturers coming to terms on which engine to use (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), and the teams and tire manufacturers coming to terms which tire to use (receiving a maximum of one (1) point). If no RP is posted but only announced in this OOC thread, there will only be 0.1 points for each decision made by a team. A team is allowed to have a maximum of two (2) drivers.
Multiple signups will happen in this thread, of which the IC thread will be posted after many signups are posted. The IC thread will start with the pre-season, for teams deciding to roleplay which driver to sign and which engine and tire to use. However, the Team, Engine, and Tire Signups will only be reserved for Veteran Storytellers (subject to change with the agreement between Loremasters and Lorekeepers). All Storytellers will be able to signup a driver and circuit (circuit signups are subject to scrutiny by Loremasters for realism), with Veteran Storytellers being able to signup a maximum of two (2) drivers for this competition.
I will only select 3-4 tire suppliers, with no limit to the number of approved engine suppliers.
This season, we will use The Racing Scorinator (TRS) v2.5.6, the standard Motorsports / Auto Racing RP scorinator of NS Sport.
Again, no double-posting (except for me to submit my signups)! You can always edit your post to include any necessary edits that you need to your post.

Heya folks! I'm doing some research on the history of our regional flag and am hoping to do a little crowdsourcing to fill some gaps and see what old images folks have on their computers.

Jelena Bridge Competed
After years of construction and setbacks, the long-awaited cable-stayed bridge connecting the northeastern part of Teralyon to the southern part of the country has finally been completed. The bridge, which was overbudget and faced multiple challenges during its construction, is now open to traffic, providing a faster and more convenient way for travelers to move from one part of the country to another.
The Jelena bridge, which spans across the strait of Jelena, has been in the works for over a decade. The project faced numerous obstacles, including budget overruns, construction delays, and environmental concerns. However, despite these setbacks, the bridge has finally been completed, and its opening marks a significant milestone for the country.
With the completion of the bridge, travelers will no longer have to take a long drive around the strait of Jelena or wait for a ferry to cross. The bridge now fully connects the freeway networks in the northeastern part of Teralyon to the southern part of the country and to the border. This means that travelers can now reach their destination much faster and more efficiently, without having to spend hours on the road or waiting in line for a ferry.
The bridge is also expected to boost the economy in the region by providing a more efficient transportation system for goods and services. The improved connectivity is expected to attract more businesses and investors to the area, which will create more job opportunities and boost the local economy.
Despite the challenges faced during its construction, the completion of the Jelena bridge is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Teralyon. The opening of the bridge is a momentous occasion for the country and a significant step forward in its development.
Overall, the completion of the cable-stayed bridge is a cause for celebration for the people of Teralyon. It represents a major infrastructure achievement and will have far-reaching benefits for the country's economy and people.

Tiber refuses to comment on jet sale

Teralyon's President Anton Tiber was recently asked to comment on the controversial sale of Zoranian fighter jets to Kalmach, a country currently engaged in hostilities. However, Tiber mostly side stepped the question and called the situation "unfortunate."
The sale of fighter jets to Kalmach has raised concerns about the escalation of the ongoing conflict in the region. Tiber's reluctance to comment directly on the sale suggests that the situation is a delicate one, and that Teralyon may be navigating a difficult political landscape.
The president's statement underscores the complexity of the situation and the challenges that Teralyon faces in balancing its international relationships with its commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region. It remains to be seen how the sale of fighter jets to Kalmach will impact the situation on the ground, but Tiber's comments suggest that Teralyon is aware of the potential risks and is working to address them in a thoughtful and strategic way.

Sekitz Metropolitan Police Report
Date: April 11, 2023
Time: 11:30 AM
Location: Kalmach Consulate, 82 Mohrenstrasse, Andereik, Sekitz, Mittelland
Reporting Officer: Detectivin Anke Becker
Details:
At approximately 9:00 AM, we received a distress call from a concerned resident in a building opposite the Kalmach consulate in Andereik on Mohrenstrasse. The resident reported seeing a group of armed individuals enter the building and heard gunshots shortly thereafter.
We immediately dispatched a tactical team to deal with the situation. Upon arrival, negotiations were initiated with the group.
During the negation phase, the group demanded several things to secure to release of the hostages:
Temporary closure of the Kalmachian embassy and consulates within Sekiya until the end of the war. Public condemnation of the war and the arms deal with Zoran. Government support for an embargo against Kalmach. The creation of a movement to suspend Kalmach from the NCC. Following a deterioration in communications with the group, task force Echelon-6B was dispatched to assist in reestablishing communication and preparation to retake the building.
At approximately 11:00 AM, the situation escalated when shots were fired from within the consulate, killing one of the hostages. Echelon-6B breached the building shortly and engaged the group in a firefight. By 12:00 PM, the building was fully under control of the Sekitz Metropolitan Police.
During the rescue operation, Consul-General Torschten Urmager was located and rescued with minor injuries. He was immediately transported to Andereik Army Hospital for urgent medical care.
Five Kalmachian staff members were killed by the attackers, as well as 2 Kalmachian tourists and a Sekiyan student seeking to study in Kalmach.
One member of the task-force remains in intensive care, and 3 others have minor wounds. All 16 gunmen were killed, with 3 taking their own life.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the group responsible for the attack was an international radical anti-war group that sought to end the ongoing conflict between Kalmach and Garahun. It is believed that the recent agreement between Zoran and Kalmach to sell arms may have triggered this attack.
Following the incident, security measures at the Kalmachian consulate in Eisenhaustad and the Embassy in the capital, Neuersekitz have been massively increased.
Our department will continue to work closely with international law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of all diplomatic missions and their personnel. We will provide further updates as the investigation progresses.
We urge all citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity related to diplomatic missions or individuals who may pose a threat to public safety.

In a dominant display, the Teralyon Rugby team secured a crucial victory over the Ionian Rugby team in their Rugby World Cup matchup.

The Teralyon team, who had previously won their opening match put on an impressive performance to outplay their opponents and secure a 17-0 win. The team came out strong from the start, putting pressure on the Ionians with their fast-paced attacking play. Their efforts were rewarded early in the game when their star player, Berisa Mirkovic, scored a try in the opening minutes. They continued to dominate throughout the first half, with their strong defense holding off any attempts by the Ionians to get on the scoreboard.
The Ionian team tried to mount a comeback in the second half, but their efforts were met with fierce resistance from Teralyon. The team's defense was once again impenetrable, and they added to their lead with two more tries from Ljupco Puvaca and Mila Tomikj. The Ionian team, despite their best efforts, were unable to break through and were left scoreless at the final whistle.
The Rugby team's victory was a testament to their skill and determination, with their strong teamwork and tactical play proving too much for their opponents. They now have two wins in the Rugby World Cup, putting them in a strong position to progress to the knockout stages. Their dominant display was a testament to their skill and teamwork, and they will be looking to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches.

High Seas Shenanigans almost cause a collision 
Captain Drugo Brozic of the Teraylon Corvette, the TNV Zmijsko Koplje, has been placed on leave following an incident that occurred during a naval training exercise in the Mille-Mer sea. The incident involved the almost-collision of the TNV Zmijsko Koplje with a United Adaikes military vessel, while the two vessels were apparently competing to reach a Cambrian Destroyer that they were engaged with during a seek and destroy exercise.
The incident occurred on the morning of March 31st, when the two vessels were in close proximity to each other in the Mille-Mer. According to reports, both vessels were trying to reach the Cambrian Destroyer as quickly as possible, and in their eagerness to complete the exercise, they came dangerously close to colliding with each other.
The incident was immediately reported to superiors, and an investigation was launched to determine the cause of the near-collision. Following the investigation, it was determined that Captain Drugo Brozic of the TNV Zmijsko Koplje was at fault for the incident, and he was subsequently placed on leave pending further disciplinary action. While authorities within the Navy have been tight lipped, it is rumoured that both the Captain of the United Adaikes vessel and Captain Drugo Brozic were both located on the bowsprit of their respected vessels with Captain Drugo Brozic apparently being seen waving his officers sword while yelling "Get me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!"
In a statement released to the press, a spokesperson for the Naval Commission stated that the safety of all personnel involved in training exercises is of the utmost importance, and that any breach of safety protocols will be taken very seriously. The spokesperson also expressed regret for the incident, and reassured the public that measures are being taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The incident has raised questions about the training procedures and protocols used by military vessels during training exercises, and there have been calls for a review of these procedures in order to ensure the safety of all personnel involved. The military has not yet commented on whether such a review will take place.
The TNV Zmijsko Koplje and the United Adaikes military vessel involved in the incident have both returned to the fleet, and it is unclear at this time whether any further action will be taken against the crew of the United Adaikes vessel.

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.
