New anti-racism legislations passed by assembly; many sections controversial
Jeremy Wüttenwurst
PORTOVO: A series of legislations passed by the Assembly banned racism related derogatory terms used in public, as well as made government officials more accountable (to segregating groups of people or/and using the terms mentioned in the beginning of this news article). In addition, sentences of 1 to 2 years have been enforced, with 3 to 4 years if the perpetrators are law enforcement officials or other government officials. This seemingly decent legislation, passed 3 days ago, has resulted in controversy. Many vetoes were expressed through elapsed ballots, posted in the "Veto:Reason Box" in Portovo. Many who oppose say that "they should be able to say anything they wish", or that Brickston is a democratic country and does not have a place for this legislation". -

Terrorist Attack in Eastern Hugoslavia: 2 weeks on
Stefan Kopin
HUGOSLAVIA: A terrorist group coordinated a series of suicide bomb attacks in Hugoslavia, three of which tore through three trains on the Hugoslavian Underground, killing around 50 people with the casualties being around 70. This included an attempted hijacked plane that was set to hit the Bank of Brickston, which luckily evaded due to the Briekish Air Force maneuvering the plane indirectly. The identified suspects are a group of 15 people, 13 of which have been imprisoned. The suspects' ages range from 15 to 45, with most suspects having links to extremist ideologies. -

Doh Tin Mah City undergoes canal extension project
Sam W. Anderssen
The Stadtbeeren Canal was built in 1925 in Doh Tin Mah City with a dock located at the end of the canal. It was a trade-oriented canal. But over the years, as mass trade on ships started gaining popularity, the dock started receiving fewer boats. The city government made a decision to close it down.But the locals demanded for the canal to remain open as water transit was one of the primary modes of transit in the city. Therefore, it has remained open.
Now, the mayoral government has decided to extend the canal to newer suburbs of the city which are rapidly growing. This project is set to be finished by 2035.

Himmelsstrand & Himmeruckend the official names for previously named Hugoslavia
Binci Strasse
Hugoslavia is the largest city in Brickston. But according to the Mayor of this huge metropolis, that is no longer the case. It is now Himmelsstrand or Himmeruckend; the same city but with a now new name. The name Hugoslavia originated from Old Southern Briekish."Meaning in modern-day Briekish"
"Hugoslavia is an absolutely iconic name for the city. But the problem is its meaning in Modern-day Briekish makes no sense. Hugen in old Briekish meant gigantic and Slevien meant trees, which is already a silly name for a city. But today it has an even more obscure meaning: Hugen means fig" the mayor chuckles uncontrollably and continues after a good 3 minutes. "and Slevien means absolutely nothing. So it doesn't really age well.""It is also confused for having Slavic roots."

Sudden highs in Stock Market & all Assets seeing positive growth
Benin Varguann
The Stock Market, once quite boring to look at and would only make a few quid for the common man, is now exponentially growing. The Reyali Corporation & The Walksweagan Group are 6 times and 8 times higher than they were a few weeks earlier respectively. Household incomes, which are conveniently reviewed every 2 months, have been found to have increased by 15%.
This has impact on all other assets too, such as houses. The value of houses is increasing, but not exponentially, although it is projected to.
This sudden economic growth has resulted in people aggressively buying and selling assets in order to make use of the growth. However, the Minister of Finance says it is important to be vigilant. "We might be looking at an economic bubble, which we wouldn't exactly be ready to deal with. While it is important to be vigilant, we must also make use of this to a limit."

Talks between Government and Walksweagan Company over Ripple Sustainable Development Plan
Bruna Schuster
The Ripple Sustainable Development Plan, which aims to achieve a carbon-neutral status and a sustainable economy, is sparking concerns within the high ranks of the largest automobile group in Brickston. The Walksweagan Group is the second-largest company on the mainland after the Nestlé Co. and the largest employer. The company hires more than 700,000 people and is worth more than 150 billion euros.
The concerns are about the systematic prohibition of petrol and diesel vehicles through the implementation of the plan, thoroughly mandating the use of electric vehicles across the mainland and the islands. 89% of vehicles produced by the company are fuel-dependent, although that figure is steadily decreasing. The Walksweagan Group, either way, has urged the government of Brickston to ease automobile laws in the development plan.
The Walksweagan Group has also always had a monopoly over the automobile sector. However, it entered the electric vehicle market much later. The Marcar Automobile Company had already dominated the electric car market. This is another reason why the Walksweagan Chairman met the Government of Brickston for negotiation.

Public Transport System to reach cover 100% of rural areas by 2050
Augusta Ausby
With the Department of Public Transportation getting a budget share of 6% in government expenditures today, their projects and promises exceed their obligations. With metropolitan cities, their surrounding towns and big towns having a wide variety of access to public transport, the focus now shifts to small villages. With the national railways having been connected to every town with a population of above 100,000 since 1986, the new plan focuses on local buses, trams and metros if needed. The below map illustrates areas with access to more than 1 mode of public transport within a 3 km radius.
The promise delivered by the Department of Public Transportation is that this entire map will be green by 2050, excluding areas of protected nature.

What's behind Brickston's real estate boom?
Friedrich Monnech
Hugoslavia Financial District view through West-Wilhelm ParkReal estate and stock prices along with income are greatly inflating to an extent that the entire Hugoslavian Business District is now worth 7 times the economic value it used to be. Credit expansion and money flow are becoming uncontrolled, says the Chairman of the Briekish Economic Commission, along with many experts saying the same.
This year, there have been 26 more companies that have been listed on the Briekish stock exchange, with 3 expecting to go public by the end of this month. Capital investment is also at an all-time high.
"We must enjoy this growth but must remain vigilant and sensible in economic policy. If this turns out to be an economic bubble, our economy will not be able to sustain itself," said economist Kuehne.

Brickston-Czech Slavia Summit ends in agreement
Dominic Houser
Arguably Brickston's closest ally, Czech Slavia, had a diplomatic meeting and summit from Wednesday to Friday. The two leaders of the nations - President Albína Reiserová from Czech Slavia and President Okonkwo Cyryl Lavoie - along with other dignitaries from the two countries met at Portovo, after which they visited several cities in Southern Brickston where Czebrik populace and presence was dominant. The summit finally ended in Portovo, with the agreement signed on Friday.
Czech Slavia is a crucial country for Brickston in the European Union for cultural, economic and political reasons. The agreement eased trade restrictions between the two countries, allowed Briekish investment into Czech Slavia and established mutual security. In addition, Czech Slavia is to invest in cultural projects in Southern Brickston.
We found in the audience both eminent and common people on both extremes of supporting or rejecting this diplomatic summit and agreement.
"Nice to see that a diverse society is being promoted [and] I hope that relations improve," said Reddich Green, a member of the audience.
"What benefit does Brickston get from all of this? More immigrants, that's all," said a proudly conservative individual in the audience who preferred to stay anonymous.
"Is Okonkwo [Cyryl Lavoie] pulling off some sorta [of] political stunt? I think so," said an anonymous viewer.
"I guess it's good. More cultures to explore and better trade."https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A0wQANvC69lA4VTZ9Vu0oSAjhd77GtVk3ZuLwUWQs8Y/edit?usp=sharing
The Department of Foreign Affairs has released the agreement signed by the leaders.
