Statement of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Istkalen

I cannot in good conscience lead a government which attempts to criminalize my own existence. I communicate to the National Salvation Council and the public my intention to resign in the case that the proposal for the restoration of an unequal age of consent and for the prohibition on manifestations of "sexual and gender deviance" is implemented.

There are few in this country outside of the military apart from me who have any desire to serve as its head of government, and few abroad who want to see a non-civilian take that office.

Prime Minister of the Republic of Istkalen

On Istkalen's National Salvation Council

29 May 2023

Where the Brætha stand

The Brætha recognise the National Salvation Council as a governing body of Istkalen. This means that the Brætha, and the wider Sertian government, will consult the National Salvation Council for all official state concerns, and when addressing the governing body of Istkalen, will refer to the National Salvation Council of Istkalen as the NSC (Istkalen).

The Brætha recognise the unstable nature of this situation, and the limits of any interim government, yet we further acknowledge the need within our government to recognise an official government of each state. This is to prevent the imposition of sanctions as pursuant to Rolling Sanctions Act 2021 which we have decided are not applicable in this situation.

Advice to the public

Istkalen continues to be recognised by the Brætha despite this change in governance.

All Sertian nationals are advised to check the Brætha's travel advisories before going to Istkalen. Diplomatic representation for Sertians may be limited and it is important to acknowledge the risks of travelling without it.

When travelling to a place without proper diplomatic authority, you risk

Problems entering a country, such as being detained by immigration officers

Delays in receiving legal services if you are arrested

Delays in, or a lack of passport renewal and emergency passport services

Problems leaving a country if your passport or travel documents are not in order.

Statement on Foreign Assistance and Development Programmes
We as of today will be removing any conditions on foreign assistance and development money beyond sustainable development and anti-corruption restrictions. This means the end of the policy requiring money to be spent on products made domestically in the country of the foreign assistance recipient. This has come after it has come to our attention it has made programmes using Duchian money harder to develop especially in smaller countries where there is not a manufactauring base at present. The policy was aimed at developing manufactauring bases however this has proven to be uneconomic and just resulted in less development in target countries. All aid will now be unrestricted and handed to trusted governments and organisations to spend how they wish using local knowledge and expertise.We will seek to set up a co-ordinated aid programme under ECON to more effectively pool foreign aid money from all ECON states and share adminstration costs of the funds among member states for more efficiency.

Joint Statement between the Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

The Kingdom of Spain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland have agreed to carry together the duties of the 'Operación Columnas de Hércules' in exchange of a military base lease to the United Kingdom in the city of Gibraltar, after a meeting between the President of the Spanish Government, D. Jesús Aguilar, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, that was held in the city of Gibraltar on the 3rd of April, 2023.

Both leaders have underlined their will to cooperate to achieve a safer Mediterranean Sea, that now faces "a critical moment in history" after the passage of the Freedom of Navigation Act. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, has shown his support for the taxation system applied by the Gibraltar Strait Security Agency as for the territorial waters claim that the Kingdom of Spain holds in the Strait of Gibraltar, both complying with European law. In addition, Jesús Aguilar has thanked the British Prime Minister for his "sincere, honest apology" and has welcomed the United Kingdom's will to help Spain at keeping the Mediterranean safe from "modern day threats that are not far from Spain".

Statement from the General Secretary of the Federal Republic of Yosai

“The situation within the Caribbean, particularly in Sertia and Gadalland & Aspern. It is the responsibility of the Federal Republic of Yosai to ensure the safety of it citizens at home and abroad. We find the arrest and borderline kidnapping of a Yosainese field reporter Akio Inoue for merely preforming her conventional duties as a field reporter then later for them to classify her conventional duties as “Sedition” has dampened future relations that were in the works between our nation and theirs.

We see it as our responsibility to use all means available to us to broker the release for Ms Akio Inoue, thus we will be interested in sending a delegation from the Department of state to speak to the Braetha and negotiate arrangements for the release of the journalist. We have spoken to her family and have advised we will use what means we have to resolve this situation.“

Following informative talks with the Spanish government, The United Kingdom allows Spanish firms to resume business in its territory and announce the rejoining of SWIFT.

1 March 2023

The Commonwealth of California fully recognizes the legal independence of The Republic of Aspern. From what we could gather from the meeting at Purrage, it seems like all involved reached a peaceful solution that respects all involved.

The Speaker: I'd like to inform the House that the British Sign Language interpretation is available on Parliament Live TV.

Mr. Weston: Number one, Mr. Speaker.

The Prime Minister: This morning, I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Mr. Weston: Will the Prime Minister agree with me that making a national mental health service will help on that need?

The Prime Minister: Yes, I agree with my honourable friend that we need an NMHS. Mental health is immensely important to give more support right across the country.

The Speaker: Statements have ended. Questions without notice; I call on the Leader of the Opposition.

Mr. Pena Nieto: Studies have shown California has a lower employment rate this year, showing that the enlarged state has people no longer searching for jobs. Is this proof that Labour has no plan?

The Prime Minister: Here we go...CDP blaming Labour for a decade prior of doing nothing but lining the pockets of the donor class. They could have made sure the lowest paid and did not. They could have invested in clean industry and did not. Could have increased the participation and did not. They had every chance to help ordinary Californians and chose not too. That should tell you everything.

Statement on European Elections

The Domain of Elections regrets to announce that European Commission elections in the Union of Duxburian Dominions are temporarily suspended due to catastrophic drops in turnout below 5% in the previous election and below 5% projected in the current cycle.

The cost to hold a nationwide election can exceed half a billion kaels and the Domain of Elections cannot justify the expense for this type of election at these turnout levels.

Until projected turnout returns to acceptable levels above 5%, the Councillor-General is hereby empowered to cast European Commission votes on behalf of the Union of Duxburian Dominions.

All funds not spent during the suspension will be applied to future elections. In accordance with the Duxburian Constitution, all other types of nationwide elections will continue to be held regardless of turnout considerations.

Joint Statement of the Confederal President of North Diessen and the Emperor of Inimicus

To all whom these presents may reach, greetings.

The governments of North Diessen and Inimicus, united in an eternal bond of friendship and collaboration, note with horror the events taking place on our doorstep. Troops from the Kingdom of Reitzmag and United Duchies, supported by the United Kingdom and Gadalland and Aspern, have assailed a sovereign nation on the Caspian Sea.

No matter our differences, force can never be the answer unless as a last resort. An unclear situation at sea cannot be the grounds for full-scale military intervention. Standing together as one, we condemn the assault on sovereignty that has transpired over the last few days. We cannot and will not support the side of Reitzmic aggression and Imperialism through any means.

It is with this in mind that we have determined and decreed, by the powers vested in us through the mechanisms of Presidential and Imperial Decrees, to close the national borders of the Confederacy of North Diessen and the Empire of Inimicus to all nationals from the Kingdom of Reitzmag, the United Duchies, Gadalland and Aspern, and Svarna Surya without exception. Nationals of the aforementioned states currently present in the territory of the Empire of Inimicus and/or the Confederacy of North Diessen are mandated to report to local or national law enforcement for processing by the Inimician Imperial Guard Anti-Terrorism Command.

Financial, material, or other assets held by nationals from any of the aforementioned states in the Confederacy of North Diessen or the Empire of Inimicus, or any of its subject states or individuals, are hereby seized. This includes holdings by the Roscoes conglomerate of the United Duchies.

Any naval vessels, whether military or civilian, which enter the territorial waters of the Confederacy of North Diessen are now subject to internment until, at least, the end of the conflict. Assets held on such vessels may, by Presidential Decree, be transported to the custody of officials from the Inimician Imperial Guard.

SIGNED,

ARTABANOS, Centuriorum, Legatorum, Quaestoriorum, Imperatorum, Rosarorum, Praestoriorum, Diutiorum Imperator Maximus; Dominus Noster, Βασιλεύς Πολεμιων, Αύτοκράτορ Πρώτος; Pontifex Maximus Religio Inimiciis; Dux Districti Teli; Caesar Legioni Inimici; Crux Maximus Ordinem Imperatoris; Dominus Ordene Supremus Nicolesii; LAUDATE!

Nestor KARAMAN, President of the Confederacy of North Diessen, Grand Cross of the Order of the Empire.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Defence

STATEMENT ON FOREIGN HUMANITARIAN SUPPOR

The Kingdom of Reitzmag expresses its deep gratitude to all nations extending a helping hand in support of those who may be affected by this war, especially the civilian population of Svarna Surya, through Humanitarian Support. It is in our deep interest to protect the lives of those innocent people and open our arms to any aid that may be provided in supporting our humanitarian efforts during this war. Our nation recognizes that, because of current financial limitations and other factors, we are only able to support no more than 200 additional families that seek refuge in our nation.

We would like to confirm, that our nation is expecting the arrival of medical support personnel from our partners Gadalland and Aspern to help treat the needy as they arrive in Reitzmag if this war unfortunately further escalates. And that, we appreciate the support from more nations that may come. Again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you and have a happy holidays to all.
