Damnit, Miss Rona got me. I’ll be staying away hopefully for a short time. I love you all dearly. Once I am healthy, it’s back to work for the region.

Until next time!

Sir Keir Starmer and Chancellor Anthony Albanese shared the British Prime Minister's plane from London and got into Elthize airspace. They both hoped this will go well. Social democracy needed a good look.

Queen Elizabeth out of concern for her health has abdicated the throne. The Household decided someone younger should take the constitutional responsibility. So Prince Charles decided to help, be prominent but not King. William will reign.

I affirm the initial decision.

Map plot requested: This is a tricky part so could Europe map be extended to include The Balkan Peninsula - I would love to claim the whole part of it - 470,000 km2 (181,000 sq mi) size. In the picture bellow I'm sharing a picture of Europe (the blue part is the place I would love to claim). Since I cannot find it in NS European Union map I'm suggesting the map to be extended so that The Balkan Peninsula could be claimed and added to EU maps. If this could and will be done, I'm going to move to this region immediately.

@UK-and-California Yes, I know that and that's just why I've asked if you could increase the map location since irl the whole balkan was never united as one country and in that state it was never been a member of EU so EU currently have very strict size of their EU map - but this could not be the case when it comes to RP (NS European Union).

If you would agree, NS European Union could increase the map size and I could claim to that extended part of the map (location where irl is the balkan peninsula but in the RP game it will be my country)

And also, this NS European Union is much better and more friendly to everyone than irl stuff and countries and organizations - I love this game and region and I hope that you would agree with these suggestions and allow me to claim one of these spaces that are not yet physically accessible on the map until map gets bigger (increased).

We simply can't guarantee that but we will try.

Westwood Accord to be Ratified

SACRAMENTO---The meeting with Prime Minister Harris and Leagioan President Mouri-Kado, who was recently re-elected, on the UCLA campus has resulted in a treaty. As it has been for fifty years, it will go for ratification on Monday. All leaders except far-right Lauren Bobert of the CONP agree. It is expected to be a rubber stamp.

"Well, on behalf of the people of California, please...we want you to enjoy yourself," Kamala said. "One factoid for you: until 1901, the general area was called California. Up until then, it was five independent colonies: Jalisco, Colorado or colorful, Arizona or dry zone, Nuevo Andalucia, and Napa. Once federated, they adopted the area name for the whole thing."

"Oh, of course!" Kamala responded. "May I suggest you visit Venice and Santa Monica beaches? And take in Rodeo and Hollywood? It's a lot like London: you need like a week to see everything."

Kamala jumped from the surprise.

"General Secretary Watanabe, Toukyou ni shoutai shite kurete, arigatou. I studied Yosainese in undergraduate studies but I'm rusty," she said. "Ueno Park is so beautiful, I didn't mind the mild infarto (heart attack)."

"Oh, I love kids. Doug's kids, Ella and Cole call me Momala. I never really wanted biological kids; I enjoy being California's fun aunt...the funt as it were. And the cool aunt...the c-...girl."

"Well, I'd like to attend your inauguration," grinned Kamala. "I've always wanted to experience Leagio."

"Yes and I'll encourage BAE Systems California to get involved."

Tokyo, Yosai

PM Kamala Harris had never been to Tokyo until now. Sure, she'd seen Spain, the United Kingdom and Duchies, the Duxburian Union...even Osaka. Tokyo was like Verington. Minus the subterranian level. The sheer amount of buildings was daunting; Los Angeles was a little less concentrated.

"Wow," she gasped breathlessly. One of her aids could tell Tokyo was a lot.

"Oh, we have a tech sector that needs semiconductors. Leagio would be a great partner in that field. And we'd love to increase our non-commercial aircraft with Embraer. The competition with Leer and Honda's aircraft EV would be good." Kamala paused. "I think fair trade for diamonds is appropriate. That trade is so labor intensive, it would be unfair to seek a discount. Digital partnership is a great way to increase job placement opportunities in concert with our education initiative."
