His Majesty, Jean IV, officialises his abdication

Jean IV sends an official note to Gaston of Vierthune, Seneschal of the House of Electors, announcing his intention to abdicate

On June last year, the sovereign announced his upcoming abdication due to poor health. As it was later known, Jean de Mérignac-Ponton was diagnosed in early 2021 with early-stage Parkinson's Disease. Due to this reason, and in order to focus on his fight against the disease's effects, his majesty decided to abdicate the throne so that the constitutionally foreseen process can start to elect a successor.

In spite of an abdication being expected to occur last year, a sudden episode of epilepsia that left the monarch incapacitated for some months and a slow recovery impeded the proper procedure to be followed. After this official note to the Seneschal, the House of Electors is exected to be convened in late september/early october to vote on a successor.

While it is still too early to talk about prospective contenders, speculations seem to point mostly towards Princess Grace of Poiret, as well as King Maximilian of Voorland who is seen as the candidate representing the interests of Dutch-speaking nationalists as well as Germanic-speaking principalities.

Iras Tilkanas
Council Speaker and Councillor for the Republic of Istkalen

Simon was impressed with Ineland's choices and rather surprised with the enthusiasm on having the most powerful surface vessel since the battleship era ended.

SB: "I'm happy with your choices Cyril, and I would do my best to persuade Parliament to approve whatever is necessary for this deal to get through. On the manufacturing aspect, I believe it's better if you inquire with the manufacturers on the requirements they wish to meet and also the process for manufacturing such as where they see it more suitable to construct the vessels and the aircraft. Especially because our country is landlocked and only a canal in the United Duchies allow our products to directly transit from the Caspian to the Atlantic and vice versa. Other than that, is there anything that Ineland is interested in for a deal?"

From: Imperial Government of Inimicus / Artabanos Foundation To: Ministry of Defence's Office for Procurement and Maintenance at 35 Bingstraat, 12030 Kapstad Subject: Naval Arms contract application Message: The government of the Empire of Inimicus wishes to respond to the communique from the Ministry of Defence, Government of Ineland, calling for tenders regarding naval arms supplies. The Empire of Inimicus produces its own naval equipment of the highest standard. Our fleet currently boasts a large variety of different vessels, including supercarriers, frigates, cruisers, and helicarriers. The Imperial Government would gladly work with the Government of Ineland in supplying the latter with a means to defend itself, and looks forward to discussing the details of this tender in the near future. (Please note that additional funding for tenders with the Imperial Government may be sought from the Artabanos Foundation, which would accellerate construction drastically.)

FV: The model scheme for university exchanges you are proposing seems like a good starting point for us. If your government would be good with it, maybe we could start with some test experiences in selected universities before opening up to a more widespread programme. Coming back to military hardware providing, our government is going to launch a call for providers as we are planning to expand our naval capabilities and we would be pleased to see Duchian docks applying to it.

Response to the address by the Spanish Prime Minister

In light of the aggressive and threatening remarks by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain, Jesús Aguilar, with regards to the Ineland-sponsored Freedom of Navigation Act that is currently being debated in the European Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has adopted the following measures:

Recalling of the Ambassador of the United Principalities of Ineland to the Kingdom of Spain for consultations for an undefined period of time; Partial suspension of all economic cooperation with the Kingdom of Spain; Cancellation of all negotiations on military hardware acquisition from the Kingdom of Spain.

On behalf of the Government of the United Principalities of Ineland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to express its utmost shock at the attitudes expressed by the Government of the Kingdom of Spain. The Government considers that membership of an organisation such as the European Union entails a series of obligations, such as proper debate and democratic handling of disputes through appropriate channels, which the Government of the Kingdom of Spain doesn't seem keen on abiding by.

SINA - Royal Inelander Airlines ™ is more than happy to welcome Royaume-de-France International Airport in @nofoaga as it's newest international destination!

We are also glad to announce that an agreement has been reached to establish routes to our new destinations in the Duchian capital of Cair Para, as well as in the cities of Hamborg and Porterdam.

Ineland wins EuroVoice 42

Hugo METTERNICHT (Trondheim) | After what surely was a long yet exciting night for Clara Luciani, the Inelandic singer won EuroVoice 42 which took place tonight at the city of Trondheim in Fremet.

Ineland struggled to keep the 4th position in the initial result announcement, but soon went into a three-way competition with Nofoaga and Icholasen (the Free one) for first place. However, our entry slowly increased its lead while the next 5 entries started switching positions in the leaderboard until mathematical victory was achieved when the penultimate result came in. In the end, Ineland finished first with 96 points, followed by Istkalen as second with 82 points and Icholasen as third with 76. Host Fremet came in tenth with 54 points.

Sandrine Meckelmans, an RTI-IRT spokesperson, has already said that a bidding process will be taking place with a host city being announced later this month.

Judiciary

The Inelander legal system is structured on civil law with an abundance of statutes and codified norms that act as the basis of the judiciary. In the Inelander system, judges take active part in the investigation of the facts of the case under what is commonly known as an inquisitorial system. Under Inelander law, verdicts can be appealed by both parts in a trial.

Institutions Supreme Council of the Judiciary

It is the main institution overseeing the functioning of the judiciary and the tasks carried on by judges and courts. It is an independent institution dependant on the Ministry of Justice.

Royal Court of Justice

The Royal Court of Justice (Cour Royal de Justice) is the supreme court and final instance in civil and criminal cases. This court also holds supreme authority over interpretation of the Inelander constitution.
