First Speech from Head Councillor Guthrun Wond

27 December, 2021

---

People of Sertia,

I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for electing me as your Head Councillor. This is truly a revolution.

Ever since I got out of jail, I have thought every day that my election to this position would be the happiest day of my life. And it has very much been so.

With many thanks to Ms. Édutitalle Dína, I am here to tell you that we are now going to be the Gadalland and Aspern the world wants us to be.

For many years, I have watched this country deteriorate under the unfair rule of radical socialist leaders, such as Ms. Dína and Mr. Spiggen. We have seen how they mishandled the terror attack in November by locking us in our houses.

And last Summer, when Mr. Spiggen dangerously told the Nofoagans that they were welcome here, defying the orders of Spain.

And our failing health system which, contrary to public belief, is terribly ill-prepared for a public health crisis.

And you, the people. You have cried out for help for years, to closed ears. But now, I am here to help you. We will make Gadalland and Aspern a great place for everyone.
As Head Councillor, my first order of business will be to stop the terrible infiltration of railways through our quiet neighbourhoods. We will stop this uncontrolled influx of refugees taking precious jobs from precious citizens, and there will be no more unfair government. That is my promise to you.

I'll see you soon, Sertia.
Thank you.

Embassy of Gadalland and Aspern in Spain to Become 4C Consulate
All Embassy Services Will Be Moved to the CCCC Embassy

---

07 January 2022

Following the 4C agreement with the Republic of Nofoaga last year, the government has decided to move all embassy services to the Embassy of the Caribbean Community in order to centralise movement.

The new Embassy of the Caribbean Common Community Commission will operate out of the Embassy of The Republic of Nofoaga in Spain.

The Consulate of the Caribbean Community will operate all embassy services on a diminished scale, or as an overflow relief facility. All consulate services will operate out of the old Gadalland and Aspern Embassy address.

This change is to provide streamlined assistance to Sertians and Nofoaganese, as well as visa services for non-citizens.

The government has also mandated that all existing Embassies, Consulate Majors and Consulate Minors of Gadalland and Aspern are to begin offering Caribbean Community services, with immediate effect.

On the Government Renaming Project

The Customary Logistics has overwhelmingly voted to re-organise the Sertian government, to allow for more straightforward, efficient operations as Gadalland and Aspern begins to get more involved in EU affairs.

This restructuring will involve keeping many existing powers of the government, but adding, renaming, or taking away certain departments that do not benefit government efficiency. It will also reflect Gadalland and Aspern's new status as a Caribbean state.

This new structure will also allow for departments to be added and removed more easily, as needed in the future.

This resctructure DOES NOT constitute a shift in any government operations, nor will it, in any way, compromise the stability of this government.

The government also hopes to introduce the Individual Department Scheme, a developing project aimed at fair lobbying.

Government Departments
Please note: this list will not be updated. As new areas are added, please check the post on the Factbook page.
The new nominal anatomy of the Sertian government will be as

Foundation of the Sertian National Fund

25 May 2022

It is the utmost pleasure of the Customary Logistics Council to announce the creation of the Sertian National Fund. This nationally-owned foundation is the cornerstone of Sertia's newly-designed welfare system.

We as Sertians value the strength and vitality of our local communities. It is the government's wish to support our strong interpersonal connections which contribute to Gadalland and Aspern's rich culture, allowing solidarity and independent thought but maintaining a healthy level of co-dependence and unity.

The Sertian National Fund (SNF) is where taxpayer money goes, and government support comes from. Through the SNF, the government will provide financial support for the needs of our citizens.

The following benefits will become available with the creation of the SNF:

• Low Income Supplementation
• Financial support during periods of unemployment
• Student Financial Support
• Promoting equal access to our developing public transport system
• Guaranteed assistance for voluntary donors

The SNF will also oversee and strengthen existing benefits, such as the Elder Care Fund and the Sertian Health Service, as well as create increased social safety for our citizens.

The government has allocated 40% of its spending to the SNF alone for the first two years, and the rest to general infrastructure.

More information regarding eligibility requirements will be soon to follow.

EVACUATION MANDATE

FROM THE OFFICE OF METEOROLOGY:

The Braetha has approved a proposal to instate an evacuation mandate in anticipation of Hurricane Ferra's landfall.

Hurricane Ferra is currently a low-pressure system to the southwest of the Sertian islands. We anticipate that Ferra will be a Category 4 Hurricane when Ferra makes landfall.

Category 4 Hurricanes pose substantial risk to human life and existing structures, even those considered 'Hurricane-proofed', with winds up to 150 km/hour. Rain, lightning and wind can threaten the security of your home and your utilities.

Beginning at 19:00 on 30 September, all persons living in the affected area(s) will be strongly advised to evacuate inland. Compensation will be provided for transport and accommodation will be provided through the Quartering Act 1980.

Please carry your national identity card with you during the evacuation as you will need it to prove you are entitled to accommodation.

New powers to deal with unacceptable and violent speech

25 November 2022

The Independent Leadership Authority (ILA) has granted permission for the government to enforce stricter consequences for instances of unacceptable speech and expression.

Please see Braetha 274 below:

(a) Unacceptable speech is here defined as any such self-expression which poses an evident threat to the right of citizens to engage in ordinary peace.

(b) It is therefore a criminal offence to disrupt any right to ordinary peace by use of speech which harasses, threatens, or violates, from the extent of the incitement or implication of violence, an ordinary citizen's right to ordinary peace.

(c) Any destruction of government property, as a consequence of the violation of ordinary peace by unacceptable speech, is a Significant Criminal Offence.

Any charge of (a) combined with (b) and/or (c) carries the following penalties:

• No minimum prison sentence, and a maximum prison sentence of 15 years

• A minimum fine of £350 and a maximum fine of £1000

Any rulings on the convictions under Braetha 274 will be mediated by the Judicial Union.

Statement by new head of Braetha Fornithias Cranst

Dear Sertia,

It is such a pleasure to be standing here in front of you, not just as the leader of the Braetha, but as a citizen of this growing nation. I am thankful to all of those who saw that Sertia is on this trajectory, and by electing me I can assure you all that you have supported that trajectory.

It has been a difficult year for Gadalland and Aspern. We've had the kidnapping of our long-time leader, and wonderful friend of mine, Mr. Henry Spiggen. We've had tumult and chaos with incompetent leadership. Now, I will do my very best to support the people of Gadalland and Aspern.

Today, the Braetha has just put forth a scheme to expand high-speed public transport across Gadalland and Aspern, replacing the inefficient and unsafe systems in place now.

And in just a few hours, we are scheduled to officially scrap any laws on the capacity of protests.

It has been an honour serving you, and I hope to be worthy to continue to serve this great nation in any way I can.
