ECOJ DECISIONS SPARKS KREXIT PROTESTS, CONS CHANGE SIDES
Gloucester City, Sep 17 2020 | The ECoJ has released their final verdict on the trial against HM The King and the result was very unsatisfying to many. The verdict told that the country is guilty of the charges on violation of the Condemnation of the Coup in Icholasen Act. Experts say that this was not a good move and could potentially spark the war between Spain and Reitzmag despite what was considered as a peaceful solution to the conflict. HM The King George made a special address a while ago on the situation. He said that he will pay the fines in full including that from the entire country and that from the government. In the address, the king condemned the moves of the Spanish Attorney General and warned that his move was disappointing and unacceptable. His Majesty also questioned the decision that he called as a deprivation of his freedom of expression. On the streets, NUP member and KREXIT Community Leader Nigel Farage said that Europe is losing a good justice system and also questioned the decision. Rallies are held around the country to protest against the decision. Conservative Party and Opposition Leader Scott Morrison said that the Cons are enough of the fake promises the EU has made. He also said that it is time for a referendum to leave the EU. Lib Dem leader Jeremy Corbyn on the other hand counters the moves of the NUP and Cons and said that the elections for the ECoJ will make matters better. He said that he had little to comment on this situation.

PARLIAMENT RATIFIES TREATY OF TULLION
Hampton City, Oct 19 2020 | After weeks of debate, the House of Commons had passed the Treaty of Tullion between the Kingdom of Reitzmag and the Commonwealth of Leagio. The debate however was intensely opposed by the NUP and the Conservative Party which had formed an official alliance for KREXIT. NUP Member and KREXIT Movement Leader Nigel Farage says that the Leagioans cannot be easily trusted with our support. Conservative Party leader Scott Morrison backed this by saying that the budget should not be spent just instantly. The debates in the House of Commons this past few weeks saw lots of battle on European Integration with the Conservatives and the NUP creating a formal alliance. In return, the Lib Dems, Greens, and Labour Parties formed their joint coalition against KREXIT. The coalition however will face problems if the Conservatives get majority in the next elections.

GOVERNMENT PLACES ORDERS FOR NEW VALKYRIE STEALTH FIGHTER JETS FROM RAE SYSTEMS
Hampton City, Oct 12 2020 | The Government has finally released its first orders for new Valkyrie Stealth Fighters which would be the first indigenous stealth fighter to be made and designed in Reitzmag. The fighters are expected to be ready for service by next year to replace the remaining non-stealth fighter jets. The Valkyrie fighter is said to have an unofficial estimated RCS value of 0.002 according to some sources, but the true value may still be better. This is better unlike the unoffocial 0.5 m^2 rcs value of the FA.24 Bloodhounds developed with Icholasen. Some sources say that the Valkyries may also replace the Bloodhounds that were ordered initially. Some also say that these Valkyrie fighters will be better than the Inquistan and Nicolezian stealth fighters and comparable to the Duxburian F-35 and F-22s.

ROYAL AIR FORCE GIVES CBC AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE QUICK REACTION ALERT SYSTEM
Copala City, Nov 5 2020 | The RAF is the branch of HM Armed Forces tasked to protect Reitzmic Airspace and its assets even abroad. Today, we are getting an inside look at how it intercepts suspicious aircraft entering the country's airspace. We have met pilots Peter and Graham which are currently on duty in the QRA at RAF Brewnest. They've been experienced pilots for 6 years and they're on a mission to ensure the security of Reitzmic Airspace. Below the ground just a few kilometers away from the QRA Hangars, the Control Center of the RAF's QRA is busy tracking all the aircraft coming in and out of the country's national airspace. Meanwhile our team prepares to take to the skies and have an inside look at what the QRA does. As soon as our aircraft flew, our pilots did not speak in the radio nor to any contact from Air Traffic Control. "Scramble, Scramble, Scramble!", the alarms go on and Peter and Graham rush to the jets and took off in a matter of minutes. A few moments later, they arrived beside our aircraft doing maneuvers to analyze the situation. Our pilots remain silent and did not respond to the Bloodhound fighter pilots. The fighters make a dangerous maneuver in front of our aircraft but we still did not respond. After that, the fighters release flares to warn us that they are armed and they can do anything to us if we do not respond, but still we did not. Then, suddenly the phrases last heard from 2018 was heard again.
"MBG0342 from L8T73, I’m instructed by His Majesty’s government of the Kingdom of Reitzmag to warn you if you do not respond you will be shot down"
We then respond through the radio as it was already the final warning. Our plane is then escorted down and we are back on the ground.

KREXIT PROTEST RESULTS IN CLASH BETWEEN PRO AND ANTI-KREXIT PROTESTERS
Gloucester City, Nov 25 2020 | Krexit protests this morning resulted in a violent battle between Pro-Krexit and Anti-Krexit protesters. The Metropolitan Police however had managed to control the situation and neutralize both parties. The clash started when a pro-Krexit protester slapped a pro-Juncker anti-Krexit protester. Another protester came in and retaliated and the series of retaliation resulted in a clash between 4 factions. The protests held around the plaza had different voices with 3 factions saying that the Eurostar must be stopped. The police were immediately mobilized and some helicopters and members of the SWAT team were deployed quickly. 50 civillians were injured while 4 policemen where injured. Luckily, there are no casualties in the violent clash.
Atty. Winston, a well-known anti-Krexit anti-Juncker faction member, addressed the situation and said that the country must unite against the evil plans of Commissioner Juncker. He said that the European Community must realize that Commissioner Juncker wanted to be commissioner for fame and act as if he's serving the people. He ended the video with a quote "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" stating that Juncker's way of copying his ideas and not being open for a join effort with him is a stupid idea and that he believes everything is possible with everyone involved in a joint work effort.

CONS FURIOUS AGAINST EUROSTAR OF COMMISSIONER JUNCKER
Hampton City, Nov 25 2020 | Today's parliament session is very hot as the cons furiously rip their copies of the European Constitution and Commissioner Juncker's Eurostar project detail.
"Commissioner Juncker is the biggest liar of the EU and we can't be in a European Union that he keeps destroying while he's in office. Our country's sovereignty is violated in his administration and he shall be barred from office." said Scott Morrison.
The Conservative Party then submitted a motion to declare Commissioner Juncker as a persona non-grata.
Then, after the session, the members of the Krexit party rallied outside and showed a video of the Prime Minister on an uncovered video of him admitting that Commissioner Juncker did not influence his decision to have peace with Spain. In the video, Prime Minister Bridges said:
"During the peace-keeping negotiations in a Europolis Park, I called President Aguilar through a direct secure line and asked him if we could meet in Europolis secretly. We met there and to my surprise Mr. Juncker was present. After we had an agreement, Mr. Juncker then told the press that he had fixed the situation even though he did not do anything and did not influence my decision to open up with them. It is my friendship with many spanish people that influenced me to make peace. And that Mr. Juncker's claims aren't true."
The video went viral after the rally outside Parliament and reached more than a billion views in different social media platforms in the internet.

Another feature in the protest was a wax figure of Commissioner Juncker riding a remote controlled life-size helicopter blown up in mid-air by home made guided rockets made by the protestors. On the western part of the country, a few more anti-EU protestors also made a demonstration with Commissioner Juncker's wax figures and effigies destroyed in different ways. Those included his effigy and/or wax figure riding a jet, van, boat, and a tank float to imitate Commissioner Juncker's campaign trail. Meanwhile on the south of the country, pro-EU protestors are divided with a few pro-Juncker and a lot of anti-Juncker protestors on a small war game. The results were clear, anti-Juncker faction protestors won in the battle outnumbering the small pro-Juncker people. At the end, the king and the government made an address on a grand stage at the park here in Hampton City just near Parliament.
