Support for new People's Republic grows as communes, workers' councils included into state; ievonuia plant found to have survived fire at Essen Casltle

The new People's Republic, initially highly unpopular as a result of its status as a liberal democracy, has now integrated the communes and the workers' councils into its apparatus, resulting in increased popularity.

The syndicates, long awaited, as well as the chambers, are both to be elected and managed by the workers' councils, which are also to serve as the executive of the law of the nation.

The communes, meanwhile, will have the power simply to manage local matters, including the maintenance of apartment buildings and city commons.

While both of these have been stripped of much of their power, their inclusion in the People's Republic has caused support for it to rise. In general, people across the area held by the People's Republic seem much more eager to participate in elections, with several political parties even able to have been formed, including the new Communist Party, Party of Labor, Party of Liberation, Party for the People, Communist Workers' Party, Workers' Party, Party for Decentralization, Socialist Party, Social Democratic Party, Liberal Socialist Party, Haanean Socialist Party, Solidarist Party, National Party, and the Party for the Unity of the Nation, all of which will participate in the upcoming elections.

Meanwhile, the forces of Eastern Haane have been able to move through the "Death Zone," the area destroyed by the previous conflict and now "overrun" with the insane.

According to reports from the area, there was exceedingly little resistance. Bodies, however, in various states of decay, were found everywhere. In the fields, they were littered everywhere, rotting, remnants of a foam still dripping from their decayed mouths, flies and other animals running across, sometimes eating, their flesh.

Piles of bones were found near ruined collective farms, some with bits of flesh still on them; some of these were reported to be over four meters in height.

In the cities, mass graves could be found everywhere. Bodies were stuffed into gutters and stormdrains; those who were alive could be seen convulsing in the street.

There were no intact buildings to be found; all had been reduced to rubble. Hastily constructed huts replaced them, sprawling throughout the countryside. Most had collapsed; within could be found dead, mangled bodies, themselves rotting.

The Governing Council, which shall continue to serve in an executive role until elections, has stated that no one will be allowed to return to the area until it has been rebuilt.

Forces managed to reach Rosa-Luxemburg Stadt, devastated like all others, within five hours; there, they entered the Essen Castle, where a strange plant, taking the shape of a large, floating mat and unlike any other on Earth, was said to have lived before being killed. Most of it was dead; however, remnants of it, some of which were quite large, were found in the lower and higher levels of the Castle.

The area will remain protected.
