  A Message from the Presidium of the Trade Confederation of Istkalen The Reitzmics have declared a full occupation over our territory. They have removed our committees; imprisoned our people. We can now expect them to demand the annexation of ever more of our territory. But so long as we refuse their law; so long as we assert ourselves as citizens of our Istkalen; they will never prevail. The law of the government must continue to stand; under no circumstances should any citizen betray themselves to Reitzmag. If they torture us, if they kill us, the world will know. We thus order a general strike. Until the Reitzmic forces will leave, no Istkalener should work; all should dedicate themselves to the removal of the occupiers through protest.

  BREAKING: LULA NAMATATIKI RECEIVED ON CABINET GUICHARD PORT BEAUHARNAIS - Just now, Lula Namatatiki appeared at the presidential palace in Port Beauharnais with great media interest. It has been rumoured for some time today that the former president, who had to resign as a result of an ongoing judicial investigation, would meet the current president Romain Guichard. That is now confirmed with her arrival. Meanwhile, president Guichard's office has formally confirmed the meeting. Lula Namatatiki had trouble getting past the many pressmen and was helped by the security of the presidential palace. It also continues to speculate for the time being about what the two presidents will discuss with each other. Although we can imagine that it will be about who should take over the presidency now. Lula Namatatiki was elected, Romain Guichard was appointed by law. Romain Guichard also stated that as soon as Namatatiki was released and thus able to take public mandates again, he would renounce the presidency. Meanwhile, the same Guichard has exchanged the majority of Namatatiki for a majority more in line with his program. This could also be a topic of discussion between the two. We should also remember that the Guichard cabinet also changed the flag adopted under Namatatiki, something which must be painful for Lula Namatatiki. To be continued....

  Special Edition: Veritas, Justitia, Libertas PART TWO Trondheim, Fremet 20 April 2021 Above: Staatsoberhaupt Gaarder speaking to Fremetians on the steps of the Bundestag after being sworn in as the new Staatsoberhaupt of the Republic A New Head of State The High Council, made up of the provincial constituency delegations from the Staatsrat and the appointed representatives of respective Provincial Councils, met immediately after the Speaker closed the session and moved to appoint the new Head of State to serve as interim President of the Republic. After two hours of debate, one candidate eventually achieved a unanimous vote from the 101 members of the High Council, leading Whoopi Gaarder of Norrland to be declared the First Staatsoberhaupt of the Fourth Republic of Fremet. Staatsoberhaupt Gaarder was sworn in on the steps of the Bundestag at Noon FST, 20 April 2021. As stipulated in Article III of the Constitution of Fremet, the Staatsoberhaupt was sworn in by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Fremet. Gaarder used the official copy of the 1935 Constitution that was given to Norrland upon their ratification of the document. She placed her right hand upon the Constitution and raised her left to deliver the oath: "By my honour and by my concience, I, Whoopi Gaarder, do solemly swear: That, in order to be selected Staatsoberhaupt of Fremet, I have not promised or given, directly or indirectly, any promises, gifts, or favour to any person under whatsoever name or pretext, That, in order to do or refrain from doing anything whatsoever as Staatsoberhaupt, I have not accepted and will not accept, directly or indirectly, any promises, gifts, or favour from anyone whomsoever, That I will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of Fremet against all enemies, foreign and domestic, That I will bear true, concientious faith, allegiance, and adherence to the same, That I take this obligation freely, without any reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the Office of Staatsoberhaupt of Fremet. This I swear by my honour and by my concience in service of the people of Fremet." The inauguration was observed by thousands of citizens in Trondheim's Central Square along with millions of Fremetians by radio, television, and otherwise. Whoopi's inaugural address was broadcast across Fremet and the European Union: "My fellow Fremetians, We have achieved something few in history have ever done: the peaceful dissolution of a monarchy and transition to a republic. This not only speaks to the strength of our institutions, but also our allegiance to them. Fremet is not merely an island, a race, or single culture. Our nation has survived decades of occupation, a century of fear, and horrific tragedy time and again. In all of that, we have been forged. In that great forge of history, we have been made into a country that protects the weak and seeks the betterment of all of its citizens. We have been lucky. In what should have destroyed our society, our culture, our spirit, our institutions, these things that give us our very grasp on reality only grew stronger. Our institutions today remain strong. The state of the Union of Provinces formed in some shack in Fjellmark two centuries ago remains strong. We have cast off the chains of monarchy. We have proven that the idea of Fremetian democracy does not need some thoughtless figurehead to remain real. We have realised a chief goal of an egalitarian society that has alluded us for so long: that everyone, no matter their birthright, race, politics, creed, religion or lack thereof, sexual orientation— everyone— is equal under the law. And so, we must look forward. We are all equal under the law, but what of society? If we are responsible for our actions who is responsible for our circumstance? If inequity is inevitable, must we fight against it? My fellow Fremetians, we must. For it is in the fight that we prove our ideals. It is in the fight that we grow into a better country. It is in the fight that we grow into a better society. It is in the fight that we grow into a better people. We have always lived in tumultuous times, and the fires on our doorstep today are not merely just the crisis of the week, but the heat of the forge. This past year has proven that our metal will be tested every single day. We have been, are, and will continue to be ready. Once again I ask, if crisis is inevitable, must we fight against it? Of course we must. What kind of people would we be if we traded our ideals— our identity— and withdrew into relative obscurity. We must fight tooth and nail in defence of every inch of ground. There is no security— there is only opportunity. But 'Whoopi,' you may ask, 'at what point do we stop fighting?' — My dear, we stop fighting for the same reasons why we fight. When our principles— our ideals— are lost in the fight, what in truth is the point in fighting? Money is temporary and power moves with the tides. Throughout our history, only our ideals have survived the tumults of time. Only our institutions built upon those ideals have survived. When we keep fighting for the sake of it, we lose sight of the fight, we lose sight of ourselves, and we lose sight of why we fight. We must not let that happen. As such, in my first official act as Staatsoberhaupt, I will be extending a hand across the Emerald Sea to our long-time enemy in Icholasen. Regardless of what has happened in the past, we must not let sins of the father to be laid upon the children. Mr Sanders, both of our peoples have suffered too much for too long under the squabbles of two states nearing ever closer to disaster. If you, Mr Sanders, so claim that this UNSR is different from the empire of old, I want you to prove as much to the world. Prove it to the people of Fremet. Prove it to me. Come here and see for yourself the camps, the poisoned fields still unable to bear crops, the survivors and descendants of the tragedy that was brought upon us. Do what you must to reconcile with my people for the horrors wrought by the empire of the old, and we will do what we must to move past them. I'm not asking for a trade agreement or an alliance of any sorts. I'm asking for communication. Dialogue. I'm asking to start the process of healing wounds a century old. My fellow Fremetians, hear this: we mustn't lose sight, we musn't lose perspective. The government supplanted by the UNSR made no efforts to reconcile with us, instead choosing to distance themselves from the past and bury it. If this new regime is willing to hear us, why shouldn't we speak out? Whatever happens, the forge continues its work, and we continue to grow in strength and number. We have a bright future ahead of all of us, and it is such an honour to be entrusted with this great duty by the representatives of my people. Keep fighting, but do not lose sight of what we are fighting for. Thank you. Long live the Republic."

  The Baroness of Downton makes first Public Appereance Lady Diane Crawley, Baroness of Downton, entering the art exposition. Regal Post Editorial.- The Granddaughter of the Duchess of Bordeaux and daughter of the Viscount of Downton, Lady Diane Crawley appeared after her 18th birthday at the Royal Art Museum of Montague to mark the centenary of the montenbourgian artist Jean Val-John. After studying in Inquista during her childhood the daughter of Lord Robert Crawley, Viscount of Downton, and granddaughter of the Lady Minerva Coburga, Duchess of Bordeaux made her first public appereance. Lady Diane is the sixth in line for the Montenbourg throne, she is the third cousin of the Queen once removed, and eldest daughter of Lord Robert being the defacto Baroness of Downton, a small borough of the Province of Bordeaux, where her grandmother is the Duchess and Governor General. After the declarations of HRH Princess Catherine miscarriage, and the not annouced child bearing of the Queen, the current Baroness is in the eyes of the press. Amid the news of the miscarriage of her cousin the Princess, the current Baroness of Downton spoked briefly to the press "Miscarriage remains a taboo subject, despite how common it is. It is important that we remove any stigma or shame surrounding this issue and adequately support families during this time.” While there are some history back and forth between the Royal Family, which for the moment are only The Queen, her husband Prince Philip, the Queen-Mother, Princess Catherine, and her husband Sir. Klaus. The feud with the Crawley's is in its most peak. As we remember the now deceased father of Queen Victoria and former King of Montenbourg Lawrence the First was with a personal feud with his aunt the Duchess of Bordeaux, even considerign ripped her titles, on the basis of meddling with political affairs supporting political groups such as the Nationalitz Party and the most right wing of the CMP.

  Česká tisková kancelář Českoslovanská televize introduces a new 'democratic patriotic' program The ministry of culture introduced new guidelines for the Českoslovanská televize with the goal of propagating the democratic establishment of the democratic republic and patriotism. In accordance the Českoslovanská televize introduced a new program with emphasis on Czech produced shows and documentaries. "... for instance shows for children is something that was completely neglected in the previous years. We used to mostly air foreign children shows and we felt that they don't promote the values we hold dear, which was a shame. We have the capabilities to produce our own shows and we want our children to have tiger blood, which is needed in this word to truly excel. The new Czech shows for kids will be focused on promoting love for the country and inciting a pride in its democratic and socialist establishment and the country's accomplishments. Our aim is to mobilize the people." reads a part of the message published by the minister of culture Karel Šín, who himself is in the process of writing one of the new comedy shows. Another addiction is a short program called 'Reiserová's moments' promoting president's work and quotes, but also showcasing stories from the lives of citizens. As for example parents cooking for their children, idea for such segment was reportedly inspired by the Archbishop of Inquista, Mikaela Kligenberg. The new program attracted criticism from some civic groups which describe the program as progression of attempts of brain washing and destroying all public morale. Minister Šín denied all the accusations saying that the new guidelines propagate critical thinking as well.

  De-Ratification Vote in Senate Fails After Istkalen Declaration of War Not long after the declaration of war issued by the Federation of Istkalen, the Senate of the Commonwealth was finally in the position to vote on the motion to de-ratify the Treaty of Tullion between the Commonwealth and the Kingdom of Ritzmag. However, once the news that of the Declaration of War was received within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and sent to the Senate. The way that the vote was going to swing within the chamber of the Senate suddenly changed. This news had especially taken a hit on the vote to de-ratify the treaty once it was known that Ritzmag was at risk of attack due to its position to the Federation. Many of the people that were assumed to vote for the De-ratification resolution went against it, especially two senators of President Mouri-Kudo's own party. Most of the members of the Social Democrats, who were thought to be for the vote, went against the resolution in the end. Only one member of the Civil Populist Party vote for the vote but it was not enough as even though there were60 votes for the vote. There was not enough to meet pass the 2/3's majority of 67 required to meet the vote and de-ratify the treaty.

  THE MONTAGUE TIMES How not to select the next European Central Bank president EUROPOLIS.- There are many ways to select the next president of the European Central Bank. None is worse than the one chosen by the European Council: fold it into a wider political selection process, where the job is a second or third order priority. The choice is difficult as it is. EU leaders just made it a lot harder. What are the qualities needed to fill it — other than being a man or a woman, short or tall, from the south or the north? I also find the debate on whether a Reitzmic must or must not become ECB president troubling. The main qualities I would be looking for in the next ECB chief are intellectual curiosity, a willingness to question one’s own beliefs and especially one’s own models, to admit errors, and try new approaches. The next president will need to engage in the debate over modern monetary theory and other non-conventional ideas. He or she should have a deep understanding of current economic models and where they fall short. The proverbial monkey with a dartboard would have outperformed the ECB’s forecasting department in the last decade. One of the jobs of the next ECB chief will be to outperform the monkey.

  SIMGE GALANTH NEW IMPERIAL CONSUL; KAREN SMITH NEW CHANCELLOR --//-- COMMONS ELECTION SCHEDULED FOR MAY 3RD Simge Galanth (left) and Karen Smith Telum, 9th April 2021 -- Following the arrest of several members of the Barrington family and associated allies, replacement appointments for the offices of Imperial Consul and Chancellor of the Treasury, which were held by those suspected of crimes, were made by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Artabanos today. Former Duchess of Terra Quaestoris Simge Galanth, who led her Emperor's Finest party to victory in the recent National Imperial Council elections, has been appointed to the Imperial Consulate, where she will share the important duties associated with this office with the other Imperial Consul, Lord Christopher Strathclyde. Galanth is the first woman to serve as Imperial Consul, and the first Quaestorian to ever serve on the National Executive. Galanth served as Aedile up until the present moment, and is currently an Imperial Councillor for Terra Quaestoris. This, however, is not thought to interfere with her Consular duties. Karen Smith, currently a People's Tribune, has been promoted to the office of Chancellor of the Treasury, and will therefore be responsible for the Empire's day-to-day finances. Smith has been lauded for her efficient decision-making in the People's Tribune office, and is yet decidedly non-partisan. "I have, myself, full confidence that Simge Galanth and Karen Smith will serve My Empire with dignity, efficiency, and patriotism", the Emperor announced in a statement today. Related to today's announcement, elections to the House of Commons have been called for May 4th. Unlike most nations' lower houses of Parliament, the Inimician House of Commons sits for one month every year only, a time during which it discusses pertinent matters of state and elects members of the Common Executive, including People's Tribunes, Aediles, and Quaestors. Since 2014, the Commons have sat in June every year. The Emperor's announcement of elections today sparked waves of activity from political parties in Inimicus, who have been preparing their election campaigns all year. Inimician Liberal Appeal (ILA) Chairman Michael Dowding announced his party's open hostility to the People's Movement (PM): "This year, we stand, more than ever, against the forces of facism that would seek to divide us." A newcomer in this year's House of Commons could be the Emperor's Finest, a party founded last year -- Simge Galanth, EF leader, announced the start of her party's election campaign this afternoon. Given the Finest's popularity in recent months, it is expected their performance in this election will cost traditional parties significant amounts of seats.

  DONOHOE, 3 TERMS AND MAKING SPANISH ECONOMY GROW FASTER THAN EVER Donohoe, this morning entering the Ministry of Finances Pascal Donohoe has accomplished the mission he was given in June: Making the Spanish Economy grow faster than ever before. Today's calculations published by the Ministry for Finances and Public Function and the Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness, the Spanish Economy is expected to go over the 2.8 billion euros GDP barrier and to be near to the 3 Billion worth Gross Domestic Product GDP; something never seen in Spain and which could be explained with the latest economical policies pushed by the Government, with a reduction of taxes and an increase of salaries. Montoro and De Guindos have been asked about the possibility Donohoe ends up substituting one of them in the next term, with their answers being: "The President is happy with us two and Donohoe, but at the end we will end up retiring in the future so it's a sure bet. Pascal is called to be the new Minister for Economy or Competitiveness or else the new Minister for Finances and Public Function, so it's not much of a worry." De Guindos also said he "loved to work with Pascal" and described how funny he is when they meet to drink a coffee or they work together.

  The European Progressive Alliance starts the final voting in the aftermath of Firoux's departure Donald Tusk, Councillor for Spain and Deputy Speaker (L) and Emma Granger, Councillor for Montenbourg (R) In the aftermath of Edward Firoux's departure, the European Progressive Alliance is now in the middle of a Chairman Election in which only full members (8) are allowed to vote. The fight will be between Donald Tusk, current Deputy Speaker of the European Council and Councillor for Spain; and Emma Granger, current Councillor for Montenbourg. Nobody knows who will win this election and results won't be revealed until next week, on April 7th 2021. Donald Tusk was the first one to register for this race, and days later, it was Emma Granger who registered. For the first time in the European Progressive Alliance, the new Chairman isn't the Speaker of the Council, something that surprised many political analists. We have spoken to one from Copala City, and he told us the following: "the European Progressive Alliance comes from a huge crash in the Commission Election after many member states which Councillors are EPA-affiliated voted for other candidates instead of vting for the EPA candidate (Leeson, from the United Duchies). This is no further strange, but whoever wins the race needs to know he will find a very tough situation to deal with and he will need to pull in lot of work in order to save the EPA". With the Eurogroups being kind of irrelevant right now, the European Progressive Alliance wakes up. What will the others Eurogroups do? We will see.

  The Citizens' Voice: Ultranationalist newspapers Our Istkalen, Eesti Päevaleht, Die Presse shut down for collaboration with fascism The ultranationalist newspapers Our Istkalen, Eesti Päevaleht, and Die Presse have been forcibly closed as a result of their collaboration with fascism. The three publications attempted to foment a rebellion as to overthrow the present government and replace it with the fascist government of Josephine Areai - a fraud and a perpetrator of genocide who now sits in a detention facility in Reitzmag. The woman they claim to have been Areai has been found; she is but a woman they kidnapped for their own uses. Known for perpetrating virulently anti-Western and anti-syndicalist material - not illegal per se but in this case prohibited as a result of their extremity - the newspapers have long been condemned. Ten years ago, they inspired such anger that the paramilitary of the Labor Organization , then active, stormed their offices before performing violent acts upon those involved in the publication of the newspapers, as the public cheered on. Now, however, the state can no longer tolerate them. The papers went too far in calling for the recreation of the old fascistic state; of calling it "free." They were, in their rhetoric, trying to call for a revolt which would rob people of civil freedoms and replace them with a single duty - that of constant adulation of their so-called "High Mediator." There is no freedom in that; no freedom in such oppression. They dehumanized; their rhetoric followed that of the old fascists, who we must never allow to return. Calling for the killings of those they disagree it, calling for the creation of a new movement all for one person, a new movement in opposition to all that is outside of it. A totalitarian movement, in essence, one that wished to remove all that was different and replace it all with an unending and uniform praise, terrible praise, for a single, conceited and reactionary, individual. How would such a life be? No meaning to life but praise, praise of one individual; no direction but that individual. The person, the mind, would be lost. There would be nothing but that one person; no life, no thought, nothing. The thought is terrifying. In 1946, the state passed a law to prevent such a thing, the horrors of the forty-six years of oppression, from repeating themselves, prohibiting what is described as being "collaboration with fascism" - that is, active support for fascism, defined quite strictly, too strictly according to some. This law is now applied, ensuring that these three newspapers may no longer spread their hateful words. Istkalen by no means is perfect. But it is at the very least free; its citizens and peoples able to do as they wish - to speak, to create, to express themselves in their entirety with total freedom. But it is clear, now, that this freedom is too easily lost. It must be defended; the reality of the Forty-Six Years, of the dictatorship of Areai, returns otherwise,.

  March 23rd, 2021 Article by: Sophie Hirst ANGLETER A SAFE HARBOUR FOR REITZMIC TRADE, INSISTS GOVERNMENT Trade minister Eleanor Robertson predicts an influx of Copala City-related trade to Angleter The Government expects that Angleter's trading relationship with Reitzmag will be unaffected by the turbulence surrounding Copala City and the Caspian Sea, according to a senior minister. Eleanor Robertson, Minister for International Trade, told a seminar with leading import-export businesses that Angleter's treaty with Reitzmag remains in force, and does not mention Copala City at all, meaning that Angleteric trade and investment in the country will withstand its current diplomatic issues. For months, Reitzmag has been embroiled in a dispute with its neighbours over artificial islands that it unilaterally constructed in the Caspian Sea, which recently escalated as Reitzmag's increasingly impatient neighbours imposed sanctions on the country. The Reitzmic parliament has also approved the country's unilateral withdrawal from the Treaty of Buckingham, which leased the refugee hub of Copala City to the exiled government of Icholasen, and where a growing independence movement has caused concern in Reitzmag. Reitzmic authorities have now revoked the lease, abolishing Copala City's autonomous separatist-run government, and have said they will review the city's autonomous legal and regulatory environment in a matter of months, while retaining border checks between the city and Reitzmag proper indefinitely. The news is viewed by investors as likely to accelerate the stampede of business away from the city. IKEA and FKEM have announced that their plans to invest in the city have been cancelled, while FremetiaBank has started winding down its Copalan subsidiary and merging it into FremetiaBank-Angleter. Speaking at an Institute for Commerce panel event this morning, Ms Robertson said Angleteric business could benefit from these developments. "If you look at the world stage, Angleter, really, is the safest harbour for people looking to invest in Reitzmag, to do business in Reitzmag. We made a conscious decision to avoid the Copala City project and we dealt directly with the Reitzmic government, so our investments are more secure; and that means we've got a strong, secure presence there that really helps yield more trade, more investment. So what I'd say to businesses with a presence in Copala City, who perhaps used that as a route into the Reitzmic market; I'd say you should be looking at Angleter right now, because we have an 'in' that a lot of other countries don't." Ms Robertson also rejected the idea that the current diplomatic situation would harm Angleteric investments in Reitzmag. "I get asked two opposing things quite a lot. Are we going to sanction Reitzmag, and are we going to go to war to defend them; and really the answer is no to both. We have the treaty, and we won't change that. We understand what United Duchies, North Diessen, and Pravoslaviya are doing; but that's for them to do, not us, and we just hope there'll be a solution to that dispute very soon. And the treaty obliges us to defend Reitzmag, but what people have to understand is there's very little prospect of anybody invading Reitzmag over either of these issues." However, the Trade Minister did acknowledge that supply chain issues were being caused by the Caspian countries' sanctions against Reitzmag. "Absolutely, that hurts our trade, and I've spoken to several businesses who've had problems in that regard. If you can't go through the canal, or North Diessen, or Pravoslaviya even, then that limits your options for how you do trade with Reitzmag. People keep asking me, 'can we use the DK route', and really that's a military logistical network to start with; it's not a normal, reliable, civilian route, and our top priorities there are military priorities, and then natural resources, so coal, and so on. We try to do what we can, but we do accept it's very limited and it's perhaps not quite what people really want. So our understanding is a lot of that trade is still going on, through various routes, but it's more expensive, more circuitous, and it's becoming more difficult to pass those price rises on in Reitzmag while keeping that trade route profitable. We've obviously encouraged people not to pass on these extra costs to Angleteric consumers, but again, that's becoming more difficult. So I really want to reiterate that we're very strongly behind a peaceful resolution to this." Also on the panel was former Foreign Minister Vitus Duryzatehende, now a backbench Democrat MP, who argued that Ms Robertson was painting an overly optimistic picture. "You've just been saying at great length how great it all is, and then you say, actually you can't really get through to Reitzmag because of the sanctions, you've got to go all round the Wrekin. It can't be both, Eleanor, you know that." Ms Robertson rejected Mr Duryzatehende's comments: "No, look, I'm not saying now is the perfect time to invest in Reitzmag. I'm saying it's a good time for people who do already, especially via Copala City, to take a look at doing that through Angleter. Because yes, investing in Reitzmag now is bad for everybody, pretty much; but the strongest international presence there, the one least likely to be disrupted any further, the one with the local know-how? That's Angleter, and I have to say, I think everyone here gets that, and it's a shame that you don't." The Trade Minister refused to be drawn, however, on reports of a military buildup near the border with the separatist Communist regime in Neo-Venetia. "We've made sure that border is well-defended since the coup in Neo-Venetia and going back further. We do routine exercises there, and we'll take further action if and when it's appropriate," she said, adding, "I wouldn't read into anything as a reliable indicator of what might happen next."

  PEOPLE CHANT THE COPALAN ANTHEM ALL TOGETHER IN THE STREETS; LITTLE ESPAÑA SINGS PATRIOTIC SONG FROM A TV SERIES Copalans have flod the streets to chant their national anthem The Copalans have taken the city streets to sing their national anthem, as they have been recognised as an independent nation within a Nicoleizian Commonwealth by the Kingdom of Spain. This is live from Piazza Copalana, full of people as you can see: "Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa; Oh heroical Copalan people, In a stoic effort once again, You must fight, conquer and smash the vile betrayal to triumph, valour is what gives you reason. "Copala é nossa, we will shout! It's the flesh and blood of our nation. Without hesitating, to defend, and fight until you win! "Copala é nossa, we will shout! It's the flesh and blood of our nation. Without hesitating, to defend, and fight until you win! The invader we'll punish him with ancestral fearlessness, by detaining, kicking out, winning, shattering and shouting: Copala é nossa, Copala é nossa, it's ours, it's ours! Copala is Icholasen! Massive clapping after the anthem and now we connect with Little España where the people there are going to sing something else in Spanish too: Translation: We'll listen the name again, of our homeland in all its splendour, as the history which has carved us out, provides us today a path next to the sun. Now the sky divides in 2 as we go through, with more glory, justice and determination, Those past's shines will come back, those who our ensign never betrayed. We will march united as a nation, all together building this state, and in the unfavourable things that this travel bring us, two stripes of our blood will escort the sun We'll listen the name again, of our homeland in all its splendour, as the history which has carved us out, provides us today a path next to the sun. Now the sky divides in 2 as we go through, with more glory, justice and determination, Those past's shines will come back, those who our ensign never betrayed. We will march united as a nation, all together building this state, and in the unfavourable things that this travel bring us, two stripes of our blood will escort the sun Clapping have been heard in both cases and now people are getting their "Leave a Light on for Copala City" posters to demonstrate against this very unfair decision.

  Kum Saati - Can the ICS Church win the lawsuit? The church accused Alkharya of violating the religious freedom of its citizens. On December 26th, 2020, the ICS Church of the United Duchies put up a petition against the Alkharyan government. The petition concerns the ban on missionary activities imposed on October 18th, 2020. The bill in question proposed to ban missionary actions again, thirteen years after the ban was lifted. The ban came after various incidents regarding malicious attacks from missionaries on Alkharyan children, as well as concerning the rise of suicide rates among the schools that were visited by missionaries. The lawsuit was re-petitioned again on February 22nd, 2021, and is now in action. They demand Alkharya repeal its laws and comply with the constitution of the European Union. The question is: Can they win the lawsuit? First, we have to look at what part of this law the church deems unconstitutional, in this case, it's the Section 17, the Freedom of Conscience: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change their religion or belief; and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance provided they do not violate the rights of others as mandated by this Declaration." The church thinks that the ban is unconstitutional as the missionary ban violates the right to teach religion. We have to look at the Alkharyan law for context. On the 2020 bill, missionary activities are defined as: "Teaching of religion or any similar sort of beliefs as a representative of a religious organization, be it a church, an NGO or any other institution, to convert a person to the religion said institution adheres to." This definition is important. Due to its definition, the teaching of religion is, on paper at least, not banned. The ban only affects, as mentioned, education whose end goal is to convert a person from one religion to another, which appears to be the main goal of most missionaires, and education which is sponsored by an institution, albeit a church, an NGO or what else. The ban was applied to ensure that the religious education is unbiased, which is nearly impossible when a religious institution is behind it. From October 2020 to January 2021, 975 independent missionaires got approval from the government for religious education in various spaces, which means that these activities still continue, they're just regulated by the government. While it is hard to tell which side will win this case, this will not be the first time the rest of the European Union will go against Alkharya, regarding religion, which has been one of the most dividing cultural differences since the dawn of time. This was Altuner Fadıl, writing for Kum Saati.

  11th March 2021 TRYMPOV WINS COUNCIL BY-ELECTION Results by district. Mr Trympov is in blue, Mr Borisov in pink, and Mr Akhmetich in green. Dragan Trympov has, as expected, stormed to victory in a European Council by-election which was held today. With the support of both government parties and the corrupt Patriotic Congress failing to put forward a right-of-centre opponent, Mr Trympov scored an impressive 67% of the vote. Among the losers were Kyril Borisov, from the post-Communist 'Social Democratic Party', who scored 16%; Pomak and Minority Electoral Action's Muhammat Akhmetich, who scored 10% after an ethnic grievance based campaign; and open Communist Simeon Yav, who scored 7% and failed to win a single district. Mr Trympov carried almost all districts, with only Muminov voting for Akhmetich by a 5% margin, and the city of Torlagrad being carried by Borisov by a 6% margin. Trympov is expected to work closely with the Government following his election, ensuring that Pravoslaviya's foreign policy is well co-ordinated, and he also plans to re-energise the Make Europe Great Again movement. Campaign promises include action to escalate the Caspian crisis to Europolis if Reitzmag fails to respond positively to sanctions, a drive to eliminate paedophiles in the European elite, and working to oppose and roll back globalist Council legislation. Trympov spoke to his supporters after his victory was announced, pledging to keep his promises in office: "Well, folks. They can't say I'm not a councillor now. They can't say 'oh, Dragan Trympov doesn't represent Pravoslaviya'. I mean look at that, I'm basically on 70%, and you know, with some demographics, that's going to be 80%, 90%. Isn't that so good?" "The people of Pravoslaviya have gone to Edward Firoux and the ECoJ and told them where they can put their Elected and Accountable Council Act. The globalists do not want non-globalists on the Council, OK, and they did all they could to stop me being there, delay me being there, and Tupac has done a great job filling in for me and I wish him well as Minister for Defence - and it looks like Reitzmag might give him a busy start there, who knows - but these globalists are so bad, but they're losers, and they lost tonight. They can't get anything right, and that's why Firoux has gone home, he knew I'd win, so he can't face me, OK, he ran off, back to Gisela - bye-bye, he said, bye-bye! - and he's not there any more, so really this is two big wins." "This is the most dangerous job in Europe, OK? Tupac faked his own death years ago to come to Pravoslaviya, only to get this job, and they nearly killed him for real, would you believe? And remember that woman from Mennrimiak, the one who was poisoned? And the Alkharyan one who got killed, she was out on a run, and they killed her, unbelievable. And we all know Coventry didn't kill himself, but what about Hufton? You're telling me that's not a little bit crazy; he's a young guy, a fit guy, and he just dies so Van Halen can have his rigged election? Give me a break. But still all these people say 'oh, Trympov is just after power, oh no', and I say what? I'm giving up, potentially, my life for you people, and the globalists, remember, they kill whoever they don't like, I mean remember Craticus? But I'm doing a really dangerous job, and I'm doing it for you. They're after you, and I'm just putting myself in the way." "They don't like me because I keep my promises, folks. I kept my promise to take down Retard Apostol and the Vulovich Bratstvo, with my good friend Rudi Dzhulyanov, who they didn't let be on the ECoJ because he's not a globalist, by the way. And I'm going to take down the paedophiles in Europe's globalist elite, so our sons and our daughters can be safe like never before. And I'm going to make sure they get rid of those islands in our beautiful Caspian Sea." "And folks, I am going to put Pravoslaviya first, and take down the globalists, and stop them imposing crazy laws and spending projects on our people. It's time to stop 'migrants and minorities' first politics, and Make Europe Great Again! Thanks; thanks, folks."
