United Adaikes Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Please do not post in this thread if you are not a participant. Also, no OOC posts, please. Welcome to the 4th Rugby World Cup! This is an international rugby union tournament. If you are a participant, you can start posting about your nation's rugby team (logo, players, kits, and any other related information). You can also post about your team's preparations for this event! Another important thing to include in your roster post is the "role play permissions". If you want to role play while making sure that the other RPer(s) won't do inevitable things you don't want to happen to your team, you can post these below outlining what the other RPers can or cannot do, for example: RP permissions: If my opponent RPs first, they may... Choose my try scorers: Y/N Choose my kicker: Y/N RP injuries: Y/N Godmod scoring events: Y/N Godmod injuries: Y/N Godmod other events: Y/N The last three permissions, godmodding, is the role playing unrealistic or unbelievable things happening. So if you want a more realistic experience for your team (and what we hopefully want in the games for the duration of the tournament), you can ask other RPers not to godmod in your matches. You can also add, leave, or remove any role permissions you want. It's your team, so we will let you dictate the way your team plays (as long as it is realistic). Also, you can include what we call a "style modifier". This is a number between -5 and +5, which indicates if you are a defensive (leaning to negative numbers) or an offensive (leaning to positive numbers) team. If you don't put one, you'll automatically get a neutral modifier (0.00), and that is just fine. There will be 3 attributes that will determine the skill of a team for the scorinator (xkoranate): base skill, RP post bonuses, roster bonus. 30% of the base skill and 70% of the total of the RP post bonuses and roster bonus will be the basis for the skill attribute of a team in the scorinator. The base skill will be from the latest Rugby Rankings being managed by the Free State of Dalimbar. NPCs will have their base skill halved in the scorinator during the whole duration of the tournament. As this is a sports RP event, all RPs made by a participant will be given a bonus. However, we believe in "Quality over quantity". It does not mean that a participant with the most number of RP posts in the tournament will have the highest RP bonus. It should be known that multiple posts of a participant before a specific matchday will only be credited to that incoming matchday alone except for posts about the team roster, as it is also a different RP bonus attribute. For RP posts, the highest score that a participant can receive in a specific matchday is 1 point, with the lowest score being 0.1, based on the quality of the current best RP for that matchday, as determined by the OOC host. On succeeding matchdays, the RP bonus received from the previous matchdays will be accumulated to the total RP post bonus. The roster bonus is about your team (as mentioned above, the logo, players, kits, and any other related information). Participants posting only the starting XV of their team will only receive 0.5 points. Posting 31 or more players will receive 1 point. Anything between 15-30 will have 0.70 points. Roster bonus will be doubled if a participant submits a comprehensive team information (with team logo and kit(s) at the minimum receiving at least a 1.2x multiplier for the roster bonus). With this, may I request that the post regarding your roster shall be posted first and your RP for the first matchday shall be separate. If you have any questions, you can always ask me in Discord. You can DM me or drop your question in #rwc4 of the RP server. You can also ask me in the OOC thread. Note: Reserving posts are only for the IC host (Dalimbar) and OOC host (United Adaikes).

Dalimbar Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Welcome to Dalimbar! Host of the Rugby World Cup IV! For the Dalimbari, rugby is a religion. In the warrior society of the early Dalimbari, games of strength and strategy became a way for the aspiring to showcase themselves with their units and defend their honour. Throughout the centuries where a ball was introduced and rules explored, the Dalimbari throughout the Starija core lands developed what they called "rugby". Other nations, many surprisingly outside of Polaris, also found themselves drawn to the sport. This happened through some cultural exchange with Dalimbar, particularly in the past three hundred years. The showcase event of the Rugby World Cup (RWC) has demonstrated Dalimbari strength in the game while reminding them that the sport has gone international. The Dalimbari, from Nadu in the west to Port Ain in the east, aspires to "bring it home". Modern rugby in the Free State is administered by the "Union da Rugby", organizing the national team and the "Liga Rugby", a 40-team league which competes for the Marshal's Cup. All 19 Districts of the Free State host at least one team, with Saint Andreisburg, Donlas, and Kaisah hosting multiple squads. All are determined to hoist the Marshal's Cup in front of the Marshal and the nation in Garrison Stadium. Intense sports-betting and statistical analysis are undertaken by enthusiasts, which has been exported to the international tournament scene with the "Rugby Rankings" provided by the Department of Sports.

Getting into Dalimbar (and What are Blue Cards?) Spoiler Welcome to the Free State of Dalimbar! We hope you enjoy your time here for the Rugby World Cup IV and to enjoy all that Dalimbar has to offer. All visitors to the Free State will be flying into our main international airport, Saint Andreisburg--Marshal Aleksiev International Airport (SAA). Upon arrival, tourists will go to the Militsiya Customs desk for inspection and documentation. Once processed they will receive their "Blue Card". Representatives of participating squads and their governments should arrive before the influx of tourists to pre-arrange Blue Card distribution to their sides. The Blue Card is a document the size of a credit card which indicates that you are permitted free access to all the Rugby Zones across the Free State. It will have a picture of you, a bar code, and a chip for financial transactions while in Free State. This is your core piece of ID while in Dalimbar and also functions as a debit card, where you can exchange your currency to FS Credits and pay for all transactions. We ask that you always carry your Blue Card on your person, regardless of status or rank in your home country. Failure to do so will result in temporary incarceration while your Blue Card is located and possible deportation or further detention may happen. Once you have received your Blue Card, you are free to start exploring the "Rugby Zones" throughout Starija Dalimbar, or the western core-lands of Dalimbar. The Sky Metro (Nebesnoy Metro, NM) rapid transit system (OOC: akin to Skytrain in Vancouver) will take you from the airport to Dukhob Station in central Saint Andreisburg. From there, if you are heading to either Kaisah or Donlas, you will be using the Rapid Train (Skoryy Poyezd, SP) system, taking 1 hour 35 minutes to reach Donlas and 2 hours 45 minutes to reach Kaisah. Those staying in Saint Andreisburg can make ample use of the Sky Metro and other local transit to move around the Saint Andreisburg "Rugby Zone". Spectators going to Nadu will need to head to the Vanino Ferry Terminal to take the 3 hour 30 minute trip to Nadu. Rugby Zones, Where You Can Go Spoiler The cities of Saint Andreisburg, Nadu, Donlas, and Kaisah each host a "Rugby Zone". These are the sections of those communities where Blue Pass holders have free access, from the stadiums to restaurants, tourist attractions, lodging, and other areas of interest for the visitor to Dalimbar. As a state with relative tensions in some areas, we wish to provide for a safe and secure games for the enjoyment of all. Saint Andreisburg is the capital, first founded, and largest city of the Free State with a population of just over 9 million. It is the centre of all Dalimbari activity, the headquarters of all Dalimbari society from Stavka downwards. The Rugby Zone of Saint Andreisburg connects all four stadiums with the centre of the city, with Blue Square as its focal point. The Rugby Zone encompasses a population of 700,000 and is 66 km2. We respectfully ask that all foreign guests to the Free State remember that they are under the sovereignty, traditions, and rules of Dalimbar while in our homeland. Being outside of the Rugby Zones will result in immediate detention. Federation of Inner Ryxtylopia, Saint Mark, Zoran and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoran Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Two weeks before the beginning of the Fourth Rugby World Cup New Zoradia, Zoran “...and that is why I recommend that we should get more funding in next year’s budget!” said Minister of Defense, Waholi Lanusila, with gusto. Queen Atsil Ani-Wah was at the head of the table, rubbing her temples to try and soothe the headache that Waholi’s proposal had caused her, “Waholi, with all due respect, the military is on time for completion and does not need any more funding and I am certainly not going to approve a budget increase just for the military to develop ‘star lasers,’” she says with air quotes, “as you call them. Now if you could do something about the remaining mines in the country that would be greatly appreciated.” Waholi crossed their arms and huffed as they sat back in their chair, “If we had star lasers we could blast the mines from orbit.” He grumbles to himself to which Atsil rolls their eyes due to how childish the man was acting. “Now, I believe that is all we needed to cover this session. Thank you all for coming.” The ministers got up from their seats and proceeded out the door, all except for one. “Just a minute, your Majesty,” said Director Soyohata of the Secret Intelligence Council, “There is one small matter I would like to discuss with you in private.” Atsil raised an eyebrow at him, “Very well, what is it?” “As you are aware, this year’s Rugby World Cup will be taking place in Dalimbar and as you know the Dalimbari are quite passionate about the sport over there.” he said in a monotone manner, “Our team is quite good but I have concerns about the ramifications of a Dalimbari defeat in the World Cup within their own country in a sport they are very passionate about.” Atsil began rubbing their chin, “I can see what you are getting at here. If you are concerned about the safety of our people who travel there or our team there is little we can really do.” “Little that we can do normally.” began Soyohata, “If you allow me, I would like to make plans to send SIC operatives undercover as tourists and staff members of the rugby team and make plans to provide an emergency extraction of the team and our people should a Dalimbar defeat ever occur.” a look of hesitation appeared on Atsil’s face, “We have no real access to any assets in Dalimbar…and the arrangements needed to pull off such a plan is very improbable. I do not think we can do that.” “Please, your Majesty,” said Soyohata, “You know Dalimbar can be a wild card when it comes to how they may react due to their levels of secrecy, but we have to take the ch-” Atsil held up her hand, “You just want the bragging rights for infiltrating one of the biggest military states with near impossible odds, don’t you?” she asks with a knowing smirk. Soyohota does not make eye contact, “Maaaaaaaybe.” Atsil groans at this response, “I swear, sometimes I feel like I am running a circus. Look, if you can make a plan that might actually work and are somehow able to gain access to assets needed to perform an extraction in Dalimbar, pitch it to me and I will approve it, but know that I reserve the right to plausible deniability should that plan go south. Am I clear?” Soyohata smiles, “Crystal, your Majesty.” Day before flight to Dalimbar Zoran The Zoranian Rugby team is gathered together in an auditorium after having received an abrupt message from their coach telling them they all have to attend a mandatory meeting for reasons they did not reveal. They were instructed to leave their phones and electronic devices at home. "Afternoon, everyone. I know that this meeting is unexpected but there is a reason for it." began Coach Lvaguta, "As you all are aware, this World Cup is being held in Dalimbar and we know that strict guidelines have to be followed. While we believe that the Dalimbari would not risk angering every nation attending the World Cup, the Ministry of Defense and the Secret Intelligence Council wants to take some precautions in the case that covert action is taken against us by the Dalimbari. With that out of the way, let me introduce you to Director Soyohata of the SIC who will be discussing the details of these precautions." The team clapped as the director took the stage of the auditorium, "Good afternoon, as you know the safety of our citizenry, especially those representing our nation abroad, is our top priority. As a result, several operatives of the SIC will be part of your staff and be posing as tourists going to the games. Should anything go wrong, these operatives have contingencies and plans to get you out of the country. While our resources are...limited in Dalimbar, we have tried our best to ensure safe extraction of the entire team should anything go wrong. You will be provided with one contact to report any suspicious behavior while in Dalimbar but keep your reports discreet to protect the cover of our operatives, we cannot let Stavka know what we are doing. But for now, follow the guidelines Dalimbar provided, keep your nose out of trouble, be careful what you say, and be on the lookout for fowl-play. I wish you a safe trip and the best of luck, do your best to keep up our winning streak."

Giovanniland Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 SPORTRAVEL Iconic Rugby Stadiums of Giovanniland: Part Two Posted 25/03/1423 Rugby fans, remember us from the last Rugby World Cup? Indeed, we're happy to announce that SporTravel will continue our series of showcasing interesting rugby stadiums within Giovanniland. While our national rugby team, the Squadra Nationala Giovanniterrana de Ovalsfera (Ovalsfera is the Giovannese name for rugby, literally meaning egg-shaped ball), prepares to fight for the title in Dalimbar, we hope that our posts will help Giovannilandians and sport-loving tourists to visit some of the best rugby pitches and stadiums in Giovanniland, even when they're not actively having games, to appreciate these beautiful buildings and the rugby sport itself. For some context on Giovannilandian rugby, the sport was introduced here around a year ago in the early 14th century to the northern Lavender Island coast, with the city of Quoriv hosting the first team and stadium (Stadio Giordano, that hosted games in the II Summer Esferiad). In 1325, the National Rugby League of Giovanniland was founded by various teams across the nation, and in 1329 the first national team was founded and featured some of the best players from notable teams. Although coming from two bad results in the last two Rugby World Cup, the Giovannilandian team can certainly look to its 3rd place in the 1st Rugby World Cup and the I & II Summer Esferiads as a goal to meet or perhaps even surpass this year! Anyways, without further ado, let's take a look at the three stadiums we've featured today: Stadio Lavro I, Uryde Prefecture-Level City - Capacity: 44,204 Just like the famous Stadio Giordano, the Stadio Lavro I is another stadium in the northern part of Lavender Island, although smaller and less known than its western neighbor in Quoriv. Nevertheless hosts the notable Ursos de Uryde team, which means Bears of Uryde in Giovannese! The stadium is located on the outskirts of the city, not far from the old city center, a place full of wonders for tourists interested in Giovannilandian history. This is also the source for the stadium name, which honors the erstwhile ruler of the Uryde city-state back in ancient times that then went on to conquer neighboring city-states like Quoriv, Vrosa, Bwaryk and Elysthin in order to found the Lavandulan Empire, which lasted for more than a millennium. Stadio Joakim I, Giovannia Capital City - Capacity: 41,920 Whereas the Stadio Purpuro is the largest stadium in the capital and also home to the Squadra Nationala Giovanniterrana de Ovalsfera (therefore not to any national league team), the Stadio Joakim I is home to the most famous team from Giovannia, the Gorilas de Giovannia. This team is a very successful squad in the national rugby league and the oldest team of Giovanniland that doesn’t hail from the Kosta Nord region. Once called simply by its home team's name, the stadium later changed its name to honor Joakim I, one of the emperors of the Giovannian Empire that ruled from 831 to 841 AF. Though Joakim I's reign was short compared to other rulers, he is notably known for focusing on infrastructure upgrades throughout the nation, especially in the capital, therefore being recognized as namesake of various places in Giovannia and its nearby region, Giovannia Magna. Stadio de Les Nautes, Anneville Prefecture-Level City - Capacity: 33,510 The eponymous rugby team, Les Nautes, has played at this stadium for a long time, a coastal stadium in the nation’s fourth largest city Anneville. Its name honors the seafarers (nautes, in Giovannese) that set foot in southwestern Lavender Island and founded the Kingdom of Arvonia. They were descendants from Saint Markan traders, coming from a powerful empire at the time including a lot of continental Aura. Their arrival into the island contributed a lot to what would in the future become Giovannilandian culture, mixed with indigenous traits such as the Lavandulan culture in the north, and the language spoken by most people in the country also descends from the language of Saint Mark. Not far from here is the first settlement by the travelers, called Markopolis, a historical city that provides insight into the foundation of the Kingdom of Arvonia. That's all for the second part of this series! Thank you for reading, and we wish you good and safe travels if you are looking to visit these and other rugby places in Giovanniland.

Fujai Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Fujai Folkskommunarna Fujai (fu:'jaɪ, foo-yEYE) is a small coastal nation of just over 7 million residents, located in the north of the Polari continent. While Fujai has a long sporting history, rugby is not a commonly played sport. The sport is most common in rural and industrial areas of the country, particularly in the regions of Mærte and Felvenna. The Dalimbari are often credited with bringing modern rugby to Fujai during their occupation of parts of the country beginning in 1242. The Landslag The Rugby Landslag is made up of the finest players in Fujai, though not many would be considered of truly international quality. It is sponsored by Fujais Rugby Idrottsforbund (FRIF - Fujansk Rugby Sports Federation), a member of Fujais Idrottsforbund (FIF - Fujansk Sports Federation). Most Landslag players come from Fujai's top league, Højserien, though a few come from the second league, Lågserien. The winningest clubs tend to be from the regions of Hasmark and Felvenna, where the sport is most popular. The Landslag came in second at the First Rugby World Cup to Hertfordia and was knocked out in the quarterfinals of the Second and Third Cups by Zoran. For a nation not well-known for its rugby, its team has put up quite a fight, and all are watching to see what happens next. Fujais Idrottsforbund Fujais Idrottsforbund (FIF) is the federation of labor unions representing all sports players and workers in sports-associated industries. It is separate from the Fujansk government, but receives accreditation and financial and infrastructural support from it. Its structure includes clubs at the local level (e.g. a local sports club), which are constituents of fylke organizations, which are a part of the larger federation representing specific sports (e.g. Fujais Fotbollforbund for football), which are then members of FIF. Fujais Rugby Idrottsforbund Fujais Rugby Idrottsforbund (FRIF) is the labor union that governs some forms of football in Fujai and represents all players, related workers, and clubs in the country. The main sports under its purview are rugby union, sevens, and league and gridiron football. FRIF's Rugbyseksjon organizes the nation's rugby union league play, with eight clubs competing at the highest level. The eight clubs that currently compete in the top flight of rugby union are: Braskvik IF - Braskvik, Heldingland, Mærte Bruland IF - Keiserholde, Keiserholde, Vestfjordarna Linbukt KRF - Linbukt, Mærtesund, Mærte Lakseåkar IF - Lakseåkar, Oppmærte, Mærte Rønnon IL - Rønnon, Vørreshall, Jornstrand Strand RL - Almoren, Elsøra, Felvenna Tåkstads RK - Tåkstad, Mærtesund, Mærte Vemdemning RF - Vemdemning, Vemselag, Mærte Important Notes (!) Editor's note on gender: Fujansk culture does not have individual gender categories. The five common genders were historically recognized, though categories and classifications of gender expression have broken down in the last few centuries, resulting in today's non-categorical perception of gender. Since the Fujansk language does not have gendered pronouns, most Fujar choose choose to use gender-neutral pronouns when interacting in the common tongue, such as they/them. All players on the Landslag use they/them pronouns in the common language. Translator's note: Landslaget translates to "The National Team," while Landslag translates to "National Team." In the common tongue, one would say "the Landslag did well" or "Landslaget did well," not "the Landslaget did well" (the translated equivalent of "the The Landslag did well"). This is because the Fujansk language uses suffixes to create definite nouns instead of articles. See Den Fujanske Ordboken (The Fujansk Dictionary) for more information.

Zoran Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Transcript: Quiyakaso: “Helloooooooo Zoran! I am Quiyakaso and you are watching the Royal News Network live in the Free State of Dalimbar! I honestly cannot believe I am here myself and I would be scared if my life hasn’t been full of a bunch of unfortunate events! Today is the day that the Zoranian team arrives in Dalimbar but I cannot get onto the airstrip like in previous years so instead we are in this beautiful city square. Now, before this I had the chance to speak with the coach of our Rugby Team, Amadahy Lvaguta, and asked how they have been preparing for this year’s world cup. She told me that they have been working more on team cohesion, having them work better as a unit that can improvise on each other if needed. They also said they emphasized on improving upon the faults they noticed during practices and in previous matches. ‘Both of these things,’ she said, ‘have only improved the team’s performance as these basic elements have helped the team perform better when it comes to more complex and advanced plays as they have gotten used to playing together. It has especially helped us integrate our newest team member.” I am very much excited to see how our team performs this year an-” Noya Priscian: “Quiyakaso, what are you doing here?” Quiyakaso: “What do you mean? I am doing my job of covering the Rugby World Cup.” Priscian: “This time I was assigned to cover the events of this world cup! The higher ups wanted to see how I would do after I covered for you last year!” Quiyakaso: “Wait…what!? Why wasn’t I told this!? They covered the cost of my flight and everything!” Priscian: “It should have been in your email!” Quiyakaso: “My email was hacked by trolls last week! IT is still working on it!” Priscian: [groans] “Let’s talk to the producer and get on the line with some of the higher ups to resolve this.” IN OTHER NEWS Sekiya, United Adaikes, Saint Mark and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The captain of the team is Alexander Schneider, the captain of the team since 1420. He plays with his younger brother, Thomas Schneider, in the team Fischendorf Haie. Thomas has been a backup member of the national team since 1421, however this year will be starting in the main squad, with his brother.

Saint Mark Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Principality Stadium in the background with Hillborough Castle in the foreground Principality Stadium was constructed three years ago as the official home of the Saint Mark Royal Lions. Funds and the site were donated by Lady Arlene Reston, Dowager Countess of Hillborough and aunt to Paul Reston, the Number Eight for the Lions. She is said to have wanted the arena close enough that she could watch her favorite nephew and his friends as they played. It is a fairly small stadium, with a capacity of 19,000. The artwork decorating the exterior walls was the inspiration of artist Manuel Porjiere and carried out by the students of the Academiae Debiles Artifices.

Saint Mark Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 The Dowager Countess of Hillborough stood in front of her open fur closet, exasperation showing on the lined face below her elegant coif. Her dresser, Arlswoof, much younger than her lady and much prettier than her name, tried to remain patient. "Well with the social situation still up in the air, I simply cannot decide. We will have to bring them all, Arlswoof." "My lady, that would, of course, be the sensible thing to do, but we can't pack them all within the limitations on luggage that were sent. Might I suggest a jacket and coat each of the white, brown, black, and gray? That way my lady will have choices for evening and day, and surely we can coordinate your wardrobe to accommodate these options?" The elderly aristocrat sighed. "Very well. That will have to do, I suppose." Although excited to be traveling to Dalimbar for the first time since her honeymoon, and looking forward to watching her nephew play in his sporting game ... what was that again ... Rugby? ... she hadn't realized the trip would be so complicated. She almost regretted suggesting she accompany the Saint Markan delegation.

Sekiya Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 A Sekiyan Story - Part 1 Beginnings The Sekiyan team had been working diligently in the days leading up to their departure for the upcoming tournament in Dalimbar. Despite their excitement about competing on the world stage, the team also felt a sense of nervousness and apprehension. While they had represented Sekiya before, the prospect of travelling to Dalimbar had everyone on edge. The team knew that they were about to be at the forefront of a media spectacle, with millions around the world eager to see inside Dalimbar for the first time in decades. As the team's bags were loaded into their transport, they had one last practice on the green next to their runway. They were determined to represent their country with honour and pride, knowing that they carried the hopes and dreams of their nation with them. The team felt a mixture of emotions as they departed from Neuersekitz Air Base in their H-88 Transport plane, excited for the adventure that lay ahead but uncertain about facing a new and unfamiliar environment. The H-88 over Fischendorf During their journey out of Sekiya, the transport passed over several prominent stadiums, including their home stadium, Kaiserstahl Stadium. Along the way, they circled over Kaiserplatz Stadium in Sekitz and Haieplatz Stadium in Fischendorf. As they left Sekiya, the escort departed, and the transport continued to Giovanniland for a brief refueling before continuing on to Dalimbar. After several hours of flight, the team landed at the Emperor Giovanni the Great International Airport in the Kingdom of Giovanniland for refuelling. As they stepped off the plane, they were struck by the airport's beauty and the surrounding city. While in Giovannia, the team were reminded that they were just one of many teams going through similar feelings of discomfort. Boarding the transport plane once again, the team felt a renewed sense of energy and excitement, knowing that they were one step closer to their destination in Dalimbar. They were determined to do their country proud and to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent Sekiya on the world stage.

Bran Astor Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 VA-CM Joint Naval Exercise MEDIA NOTE MARCH 24, 1423 On 21 and 22 March 1423, Varanius and Cambria conducted a joint naval exercise within the framework of patrolling and exercising high seas freedom of navigation. The exercise involved Cambric Ship VILLIN, as well as Varanian Republican Maritime Forces’s ships AZATHOTH and YOG-SOTHOTH. It included professional exchanges on boarding procedures, ship navigation, and training designed to improve interoperability and integration. The exercise forms part of the shared commitment of Varanius and Cambria to work towards practical maritime cooperation and support a free and open Darkesian, in line with documents such as the Varanian Strategic Compass and the Cambric Darkesian Strategy. Varanius and Cambria reaffirm their commitment to further pursue coordination and complementary work for regional maritime security to support freedom of navigation and other internationally lawful uses of the sea in the Darkesian. Special thanks to Varanius for his input. Cambric Concern for Integrity of Dilberif Judicial System PRESS STATEMENT March 26, 1423 The March 24 statement by Dilber’s Postmaster General* announcing the filing of a formal request to lift the immunity of judge Cranston Gopro is a transparent attempt to hamper investigations into corruption and an assault on the integrity of Dilber’s highest courts. Judge Gopro was previously recognized as a 1420 Tamaric University Person of Courage (TUPOC) for their efforts to strengthen judicial integrity and the rule of law in Dilber. The autonomy of judges to review cases, establish guidance, and issue rulings and sentences free from the specter of reprisal or external influence is a cornerstone of the rule of law. Continued targeted action against an independent and internationally recognized jurist degrades the central pillar of Dilber’s free and fair judicial system. *Why Postmster General? Because they deliver the evidence! Special thanks to Dilber for his input. Sanctioning Corporatist Financiers in Zoran PRESS STATEMENT March 26, 1423 The Kingdom of Cambria is designating three Corporate-linked financial facilitators and their Zoran-based travel company. We are taking action in solidarity with the Zoranian people, whose security and sovereignty remain threatened by Corporatists' corrupt and destabilizing activities. Individuals Kunokeski Lagena, Sallali Dvago, and Tooantuh Hetlose, and business Kalvgv Travel were designated under Crown Order 26448, as amended, which targets terrorists, leaders, and officials of terrorist groups, and those who provide support to terrorists or acts of terrorism. As the Zoranian people suffer an economic crisis of historic proportions, the Corporatocracy continues to engage in illicit activity and amass wealth at the expense of the Zoranian people. The Corporatocracy and its associates are more concerned with advancing their interests than the best interests of the Zoranian people. For more information on today’s action, please see the Treasury Ministry press release. Special thanks to Zoran for his "input".
