All the Private Companies to now work Under Public-Private Partnership Model.
Not a Surprise when a Leftist Government forms power in the Country. Yes, because Yesterday at Lower House, Bill for Making Private Companies Work under PPP was passed. The decision was taken because the Government Run Companies were not able to use New Technology because of Previous government's Corporate Welfare Schemes which promoted the funding to Private Companies more than the Govt run companies resulting in Low Morale of Employees working in SoCs (state owned companies)and also Low ranking of SoCs.
Following the passage of Bill , All the Eight Major Companies will work Jointly with the Krevti Defense Agency to Produce Krevt's first Stealth Main Battle Tanks.
The Army has placed order for 120 such tanks for now and Will place more after the delivery of first 40.

High-Speed Rail Corridor to also connect Balanest's Capital
The NHSRO has announced that the route for the High Speed Corridor will also include the Balanest Capital making Travel from Balanest To Krevt and Vice-Versa Easier. By Current Road connecting both Nations it takes about 2 days to Reach Balanest's Capital from Purna City, But after Starting the High Speed Rail Corridor the Travel time will be only 12 hours. The GPA is claiming this to be a Christmas Gift for the Balanest's people from Krevt.

Krevt and Balanest's Internal Policies will be Decided from a Joint Meet at A New Border Capital.

The Government of Both Krevt and Balanest will decide their Internal Policies from a Joint Meeting that'll be chaired by the Representatives of Both Countries and the Meet will include all the Political Leaders of Both the nations.
This means that Every policy or Bill passed at that Joint Meet will be implemented on both Nations.
For the Joint Meet, Both the Governments have decided to Build a Border/Joint Capital That'll be located between both Countries' borders.
The Name of the Capital has been decided to be Balapur City.
This City will be opened during Prime Minister's Tour to Balanest in order to discuss various Defense Deals.

From the Mondic Government
Due to the recent economic issues in Krevt wherein the Krevti government gave away 60 Aermoto A-167 fighter jets, equivalent to Mondic Midland fighter jets, for essentially free, therefore, in an effort to help the Krevti government learn from this, the Mondic government is offering to send economic advisors to Krevt, if the Krevti government wants them.

We hope that the Krevti government can learn from this and perform better in the future.

The Death of Free Trade? Liberal Coalition introduces punitive tariffs on Kanada, Maloria, and Prydania
By: Phillipe Dupuy
GettyImages-459967144.jpg

A cargo ship with Prydanian agricultural products in Beaune

Only a few months after the Cimmerian Tariff Act, the Liberal Coalition has performed another about-face in its trade policy. The Comprehensive Fair Trade Act of 2018, which was introduced by National Sovereigntists several months ago, passed by a margin of one vote. The bill places targetted tariffs on a swath of industries in Maloria, Kanada, and Prydania, and was a cornerstone of the National Sovereigntist Agenda. The legislation seemed completely uncharacteristic for a Dupont Directorate which has prided itself on advancing the cause of Free Trade on Craviter. The bill has caused widespread panic for investors across Callise.

The bill contains three separate sections outlining tariff provisions for the three countries. The first section deals with Maloria, whose industries are most affected. A 50% tariff on Malorian manufactured goods was enacted, and a further 75% tariff was placed on Malorian automobiles. The act places a 25% tariff on Malorian Rare Earth Metals as well, although that provision is receiving much scrutiny from the Opposition, as Callise depends on Malorian Rare Earth Metals. Kanada's tariffs were blanket tariffs instead of targeted tariffs. A blanket tariff rate of 40% was placed on all Kanadian exports to the Republic of Callise with no exceptions. Finally, blanket tariffs are to be placed on Prydania as well, with one caveat being the agricultural sector. A blanket tariff of 25% shall be placed on all non-agricultural products being imported to Callise. The legislation is expected to yield tens of billions of DVS in revenue while also protecting Callisean industries.

National Sovereigntists rejoiced at the passing of the bill, with Raphael Aubert greeting his followers at a large rally in Beaune to celebrate the tariffs. "We have done it!" He cried, "We have finally taken a step to protect the strong, working-class Callisean man! No more shall the liberal order hold sway! No longer shall the New World Order hold us at bay! We are Calliseans and we will fight for our country!" Following the rally, several attendees were arrested for assaulting several Shaddaist members of the party. These attacks have been disavowed by Aubert, but many remain skeptical.

The only group yet to comment on the legislation is the ruling Liberal Party, as State Director Dupont has refused to comment on the issue entirely. And while this information may not be accurate, anonymous sources who claim to work for the Directorate have stated that Dupont plans to go on a State visit to all three affected countries to normalize relations with them. The sources further say that the National Sovereigntists strong-armed Dupont to pass the legislation, lest he faces a Vote of No Confidence. Day by day, the Directorate seems weaker and weaker.

The group most immediately affected by these tariffs are investors and stockholders, who have panicked because of the prospect of lost revenue. The Callisean Standard Stock Index dropped a whole seven hundred points in the 12 hours after the tariffs were announced, with huge sell-offs in the manufacturing and technology sectors. President of the Bank, Jeanine Abadie, has called the bank Board to come up with a monetary strategy to deal with what she's calling "the biggest liquidity trap since the Big Slump". Hugo Garnier, President of the Bank til 2015 told investors to "lock themselves in" because financial collapse is coming.

We urge all our readers to look out for all news regarding these tariffs in the coming days.

Government and Temple Release Joint Statement on Callise Attacks
by Keren Gali

The Government and Great Temple made an incredibly rare decision to issue a joint statement on the matter of the attacks against Callisen Shaddaists at a National Sovereigntist rally in Callise.

The Callisen government, hamstrung by the National Sovereigntist Party's threat of pulled support, passed a number of tariffs that targeted northern Craviter nations Maloria-Kanada and Prydania, in addition to earlier tariffs that targeted Cimmeria. National Sovereigntist leader Raphael Aubert addressed his supporters at a rally in Beaune to celebrate the passage of these tariffs, only for the rally to turn violent. Several National Sovereigntist supporters attacked attending Callisen Shaddaists, including those who are members of Mr. Aubert's party. Mr. Aubert has disavowed the attacks.

Yet this seemed to not be enough for either the Government or Great Temple. The rare joint statement between the two institutions saw Prime Agastya Yamesh call on Mr. Aubert to further work to purge anti-Shaddaist prejudices from movement.
"We live in a world that is becoming increasingly polarized" the Prime Minister said. "It's important that Mr. Aubert take a stand against prejudice and bigotry. Callisen national sovereigntists look to Mr. Aubert, and he needs to understand the responsibility he owes to his movement and to Callisen Shaddaists."

Dayyan Midbar Gadi said a prayer for those injured in the rally and called on all people, regardless of religion, to pray for peace and dialogue.

The Prime Minister reiterated that the Government does not intend to re-address trade agreements with Callise already in place, and that he didn't intent to lecture a foreign government on matters of economics.

"Route Alignment May be Difficult for Krevti-Balanest Section of HSRC": says NHSRO chief.
The NHSRO will be sending a Surveying team next week to finalize the Route Alignment for Krevti-Balanest Section of High-speed Rail Corridor (HSRC). As per the Geological Experts, the Rugged Hilly Terrain between the borders of Krevt and Balanest will be a major Hurdle to overcome. The chief of NHSRO earlier this day said, "The Krevti-Balanest Section Route Alignment of the HSRC will be surveyed next week. However the Major problem we are currently facing is the Rugged Terrain between the Border of the two nations.See, There is no issue in that, But, Rugged Terrain makes it difficult to maintain the Elevation of Tracks. We are not saying that we are giving up, but instead, we May plan out a Route through the Coastal Areas. But there is another problem in that. The Cost of Building up a Curve through Coastal Areas above the Soft Sandy areas will escalate. So, no need to worry we will see what we can do, But we will definitely build the High Speed Corridor between the Both nations."

Prime Minister Chandravishwa Maurya to go to Balanest to Discuss various Defense and Infrastructure Deals. May Inaugurate Balapur City.
Prime Minister Chandravishwa Maurya will go to Balanest on 31st December to Discuss Various Defense and Infrastructure Deals. The Defense deals may include giving More A-167 Fighter Jets along with Bharlifter Aircrafts from the Stockpile.

Hysende man wins Christmas Extraordinaire Grand Prize
Jonas Liebermann -- Gojannesstad, Nyhett, Goyanes -- Dec. 25, 2018


This year's Christmas Extraordinaire was nothing shot of extraordinary. The annual Goyanean Christmas Lottery has one of the largest cash prizes in the world, if not the largest. This year's jackpot, also known as The Fat Dram, was ∆7.6 billion. In addition, over ∆30 million was given in subordinate prizes ranging from ∆600 thousand to ∆12 million.

This years winner was Reidar Oppenheimer, 53, of Jenafjord, Hysende. GRK interviewed him, and here is the transcript.

GRK: "How does it feel to have won the Fat Dram?"
Reidar: "Oh so good. I've worked my whole life, and now I won't have to work a single day again. God really blessed me this year."
GRK: "Does your family know yet?"
Reidar: "Oh yeah. It was the first thing I did when that punk read my number on screen. I called my pappy and mammy."
GRK: "What are you going to do with the money?"
Reidar: "I'm going to Kroneøy!"

Reidar Oppenheimer had purchased a full ticket for the first time, as opposed to a shareholders ticket, so he will be receiving the full cash payout on January 5th, 2019. His winning numbers were 02, 12, 27, 44, 52, and 68.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from GRK.

Politics: General Court repeals the Business Credit Act of 2015
By: Damien Cuvier
old-hq-bank-of-france-75017.jpg

The oldest still-standing commercial bank in Callise, opened in 1843, may be forced to close in the wake of the Business Loan Incident
The Business Credit Act of 2015, the first piece of legislation signed by the Dupont Directorate, has just been repealed after Dupont and his fellow Directors reconsidered the legislation and its contribution to the existing economic crisis.

The act provided around 100 Billion Devisouse in credit to commercial banks for the purpose of creating more business startup loans. The capital was granted to banks in packages of 1 Million Devisouse, under the condition that they are used for business start-up loans with a 1.5% APR. The Act also lowered requirements for those seeking business start-up loans and heavily de-regulated the banking industry. The act was one of the flagship legislative items of the Dupont Directorate in their efforts to help small business.

After three years of being in effect, the bill has come under intense scrutiny from politicians from all parties. The low-interest rates and banking deregulation has led to a subprime loan crisis for business start-ups. As of today, 70% of all businesses granted loans under the purview of this act have either failed to turn a quarterly profit or have defaulted on their loans. This has caused lending institutions to take hold of incredibly toxic loans that threaten the integrity of their institution.

The issue was brought to the attention of the General Court by members of the Libertarian Party, who proposed a repeal about a month ago. They highlighted concerns over bubbles in the start-up business sector and were especially concerned with restaurants. "Of all the loans issued," a Libertarian spokesperson said, "20% were for some sort of a restaurant. This is incredibly problematic, restaurants have the highest rate of failure among startups. These loans are guaranteed to fail, and our banks are going to pay the price."

We will report more on this story as it unfolds.

International Relations: A Visit to Iraelia

55db8b33bd86ef11008b5917-750-500.jpg

State Director Dupont (furthest right) talking with Iraelian Prime Minister Agastya Yamesh (furthest left)
Following several disgusting attacks on Shaddaist supporters of the National Sovereigntist Caucus (by their fellow party members), State Director Dupont decided to make a quick, one-day state visit to Iraelia to apologize for the incident.

Following the passage of the Comprehensive Fair Trade Act of 2018, National Sovereigntists held a rally in Beaune to celebrate their huge victory. Raphael Aubert gave a rousing speech, a love letter to the nationalist movement and the causes it advocates for. The speech was so rousing, in fact, that it moved a group of fifteen or so radical members of the party to assault five Shaddaist members of the National Sovereigntist Caucus. No one was killed, and all involved individuals were arrested and are awaiting trial in Beaune.

Raphael Aubert apologized for the incident, disavowing the attacks as unrepresentative of what the party believes in. However, this was not enough for Iraelia, who issued a statement imploring Aubert to disavow anti-Shaddaism. Aubert has yet to respond to the statement, and many National Sovereigntists considered the statement to be undue interloping on the part of a foreign government. So in the absence of action from Aubert, State Director Dupont announced he would make the visit to the Iraelian capital of Adonai-Jireh to visit with Iraelian Prime Minister Agastya Yamesh and Shaddaist officials.

The visit was a rather quick one. After his plane landed, Dupont immediately set out to the Knesset. There, he met with Yamesh and held a quick press conference for Iraelian media outlets. Afterward, they walked from the Knesset to the Prime Minister's residence at Beit Aghion. There, they ate lunch and discussed politics behind closed doors. Finally, Yamesh and Dupont walked to the Great Temple in the center of Adonai-Jireh to meet with Shaddaist priests.

Dupont returned to Fontaine this evening.

Economics: Stock Index falls 1000 Devisouse
By: Armelle Doisneau

panic-exchange-wall-street.jpg

Security is called in to pacify a riot initiated by unlucky Callisean investors
After several compounding economic issues have coalesced into a clear threat, the Callisean Stock Index has tanked by around 1000 points and is expected to fall further in the coming days.

The crash happened yesterday, December 27, when massive sell-offs occurred in the Baking and Shipping sectors. Phoenix Shipping and Freight Inc. fell by 40 points from 12:00 to 14:00. When the market closed, they were down by 50 points. Baudet-Dumont also had serious trouble, falling by 30 points from 10:00 to 11:00 and closing out the day with a net loss of 45 points. These losses have seriously spooked investors, several of whom staged a small riot in the Beaune stock exchange. They were pacified by Beaune municipal police.

The first cause of these sell-offs was the Comprehensive Fair Trade Act of 2018, which placed tariffs on goods from Callise's neighbors in Craviter. The tariffs, which are expected to provoke retaliatory tariffs, have caused investors to sell stock in all shipping corporations due to the expected loss of revenue to be suffered after retaliatory tariffs are implemented.

The other cause of these sell-offs were the aforementioned business loan crisis. Subprime business loans subsidized by the Government have caused numerous failed start-ups to default on their loans and have created a series of toxic loans being held by lending institutions across Callise.

We'll cover this story more as it unfolds.

Culture: Le Nou Cambiar to release new album "Nacionauçatot"
By: Laurent Vernier

While the stock market may be plummeting to record-breaking lows, those of us who follow music may have something to look forward to. Progressive Rock Band Le Nou Cambiar has just announced their tenth studio album, Nacionauçatot.

The band, which is known for their lengthy, award-winning concept albums, has been recording this album since 2015 and is expected to be an artistic masterpiece.

"With this new album, I wanted to do something that would define our band for centuries to come. This may very well be our magnum opus," Cyrille Badeaux said in an interview.

The recording process was reportedly very intense, with Cyrille bringing in numerous musicians from Callisean symphonies to refine that oh-so trademark classical feel that radiates throughout their work. Other invited artists included Northern Craviter folk singers and ancient Syrixian musicians.

The album focuses on the rise of nationalism, not just in Callise but around the world, and is meant to serve as both a metaphor for the destructive power it holds and as a cautionary tale for the danger it can pose to the world at large.

The album is expected to hit shelves on January 1.

YEAR IN REVIEW: NATIONALISM CONTINUES TO RISE
Opinion; by Prakash Patel in Pataliputra
December 29, 1999


7-11-slavojzizek.jpg

Raphael Aubert, leader of Callise's National Sovereigntist Party.

With the Empire's bimillennium just under half a year away, this year, just like last year, has been one of major political shifting, and if those shifts have shown us anything, it's that nationalism, whether it be left-wing, right-wing, sovereigntist or regionalist, continues to be on the rise when it comes to the global political sphere. From Gothis to Craviter and more, nationalism in many forms continues to sweep the globe.

In Callise, strongman Raphael Aubert, perhaps this year's nationalist poster-child, has led his country's National Sovereigntist Party to numerous political victories. Perhaps the most potent nationalist ideology that wound up on the rise this year, National Sovereigntism defined Aubert's #IWouldPreferNotTo campaign, which has whipped up much of the Callisean public. As a result, Callise's legislature passed both the Cimmerian Trade and Travel Act and the Comprehensive Fair Trade Act, imposing tariffs on Cimmeria, Malor-Kanada, and Prydania, in what Aubert calls a victory against "internationalist stooges".

National Sovereigntism was also, according to numerous political pundits, responsible for the dissolution of the Phoenix Union. A brainchild of the State Curator, the Union was an experiment, meant to bring the nations of Craviter closer together in the face of multiple crises. However, conflicts, red tape, and gridlock within the Phoenix Parliament led to popular discontent within numerous member states, culminating in the mass departure of every single member.

One such place where discontent and national sovereigntism rose meteorically was the small but influential Principality of Sil Dorsett. Amidst political turmoil regarding differing opinions on the role of the monarchy in the country's government, the Phoenix Union's political standoff with Cogoria after the Crown Conflict caused rampant fears of a conflict. This spawned a meteoric rise in national sovereigntism and cynicism towards the Union that continued after the crisis had abated, leading to the Principality's Chamber of Law voting overwhelmingly to leave the Union. This would be the impetus for the final chain reaction that led to the Union's demise.

In Valland and Andrenne, discontent with ruling parties has led to increased political polarization that has allowed nationalism to rise. Valland's Centrist Union Party, elected nearly two decades ago during a time of fierce partisanship on an effective compromise platform espousing noninterventionism and domestic change, has, in recent years, faced growing criticism for failing to deliver the change promised. Criticism has also been lodged at the party for enacting measures often either partly or wholly contrary to the official party platform as well as the sentiments of its base; with the most recent examples include Valland's admission to the Pan-Gotic Union and the recognition of Sutherland.

Many members of the Vallish public are angry that Valland's big banks- which not only have reach across much of Gothis but also various other parts of the globe- have not been contained as promised, instead being allowed to grow unfettered. This has, over the course of recent years, led to the diminishing of the Centrist Union's base, and the growth of Valland's two other major parties- the Confederation Development Party, or CDP- a broadly left-wing party- and the Messianist Democrats- a center-right party. This year in particular, however, has seen the rise of a more broad form of discontent in the form of Valland's Federalist Party.

Formerly a fringe party advocating for the abolition of Valland's trademark administrative system of cantons in favor of a federal republic, its controversial leader, Mark Hellstrand, has reshaped the party, forcing the old federalist elements into the periphery and replacing them with right-wing populism, nationalism, and national sovereigntism, and speaking to the Vallish electorate with a bombastic charm that only Lotte Jensen, the party boss of the Messianist Democrats, seems to really be able to match.

Despite its governing party nominally adhering to syndicalism, both national sovereigntism and nationalism at large have also found its way into Norsia. In the same manner that Raphael Aubert has whipped up a sizable portion of the Callisean public, Norsian Queen Alycia has appealed to Norsian nationalism, whipping up most of the Norsian public, rallying them to work and restore the wartorn nation.

Alycia's nationalistic programs also extend to foreign policy, as immediately following the muddy transition in Berkowitzia to its current status as a failed state, Norsia began gunning to expand into New Norsia, an ethnically Norsian portion of Berkowitzia, with many political pundits predicting that very soon, Norsia will move to annex the territory completely. Norsia as of late is also wary about foreign aid shipments entering the country, watching all foreign aid workers, all shipments, and more closely in an effort- spurred by concerns galvanized by national sovereigntist sentiment- to ensure that nations sending aid do not utilize it to influence them.

In Andrenne, in March 2017, when Andrennian Prime Minister Olivia Vehrn introduced the controversial Vehrn Border Control Act- starting what many Andrennians considered a witch hunt for the Ninhundish living in Andrenne- it caused much controversy in the Andrennian left. Many likened this to Vilkas Nyström using his secret police to hunt down anyone he disliked. Andrenne's Social Democrats began protests, calling Vehrn a heartless tyrant and asking her to lighten restructions. However, things started getting violent.

Riots began in most major cities, and in response, Andrennian nationalists began their own counter-protests. This led to them clashing with radical elements of the Andrennian left. Violent riots and fighting between the two groups ensued and continues to occur, reminding many both inside and outside Andrenne of the communists and fascists fighting during the era of the rise of Nyström. Many are now calling for an investigation into Vehrn, accusing her of overstepping constitutional boundaries. Many have gone so far as to demand she be impeached, due to her inaction during the riots.

In Goyanes, nationalism rose this year through scandal. Though already a very conservative country, in June, the then-main opposition party, the Liberal Democratic Party, fractured after a bombshell report arose, alleging that party leader Alexander Bijner used funds from the party's official bank account to purchase several new sports cars and a luxury apartment in a beach community in southern Valland. Following a snap election, the LDP lost most of its seats to the centrist Sentrum Party, only further decreasing the strength and base of the Goyanean left, and the credibility of its politicians.

In the Vestrugat, meanwhile, nationalism took on a different form- pan-Vestrugatism. With the independence of Aerndreffed, the Hastfradic League became the Federation of the Vestrugat, which then sought to further integrate itself in a further move towards pan-Vestrugatic ideology. This can be exemplified by looking at the recent changing of the flags of many Federation members to include pan-Vestrugatic symbolism, and by the Federation's legislature- the Landesgrad- voted to mandate that all members increase the size and budget of their militaries, with hopes to double the size of the aggregate Vestrugatic military by 2025. This is a stark departure from Vestrugatic nations' previously longstanding noninterventionist policies, and combined with the further political integration of the Federation as a whole as well as the Federation's participation as a singular unit within the Pan-Gotic Union, it is clear that change is coming to the Vestrugat.

Finally, the Empire itself must be mentioned. Though traditional nationalist ideology is and has always been foreign to the Empire, a distinctly Imperial flavor of nationalism has, this year, skyrocketed in popularity and breadth. The RSP, riding on a wave of public backlash towards the Phoenix Union- an organization that initially enjoyed much popularity with the public- saw a spike in its approval ratings; as did the Crown, as HM the Emperor, likely seeing the writing on the wall following the departure of Maloria, spearheaded an effort within HM Government to get the Empire out of the quickly-crumbling Union. Despite the backlash, the SJP handled events well, quickly seizing the moment before things could get out of hand, however the affair was a clear indicator of a declining public trust in the SJP and in Congress- and the placing of that trust by many members of the public in the hands of His Majesty.

These examples are not the only ones. From the efforts of nationalists in the north of McMasterdonia to craft a Sutherlander nation- one that the Empire has not recognized- to the uniquely Skandan left-wing nationalism behind last year's August Coup and more, it's become apparently clear that internationalism is on its way down in this day and age- and nationalism is on its way up; and that this year made that clearer than ever. If one thing besides that is certain when it comes to global politics, it's that the political future of the world is uncertain. We'll have to see what awaits us as we enter the second millennium, with only months away until the Empire turns two thousand years old.

Aerthi Sea, just north of the opening of the Naesser

Just as 2018 is coming to an end, a possible discovery of oil has been made in the Aerthi Sea. While it is not conformed as the word had reached the Ninhundish Government early this morning, the Ninhundish Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Environmental Affairs have launched an investigation to search the waters around the spot that there is believe to be deposits of oil. The investigation is planned to begin next week, although due to the time of year it may be harder with the icebergs that form during the winter.

“There are currently no planning for setting up oil rigs to begin drilling as the area must be searched. We need to know what and how much is under the sea and consider if the environment will be effected much.” Klaus Hälderberg, Director of the Ninhundish Ministry of Natural Resources.

A Høyhastikettog E/H 5 train similar to those that will be used on the service.


Executives of the Goyanean state-owned railway company, Gojan Jårnbaner, announced today that a new direct international service will begin between Gojannesstad Stortoghass and Frankthorf. The service will run six times a day, three services in each direction, utilizing the E/H 5 trainsets, the cream of the crop in terms of railway trainsets.

The services will run at a maximum speed of 400 km/h in Goyanes and 320 km/h in Ninhundland, and will have a running time of about 4:15 minutes. The service is expected to bring heavy competition to the airlines, as the travel time is very competitive with that of flying and airport time.

According to GJ's online schedule aggregator, the services will be running under the Østnet Vind nameplate used for the current Gojannesstad-Mukakstad express service. There will be a morning, noon, and evening departure. Passport control will be conducted upon arrival at either Frankthorf or Gojannesstad. Currently tickets may only be booked over the phone, in person, or online.

Economic analysts speculate the service will bring much economic gain to both cities, and ridership is expected to be high on services in both directions, attracting both business and pleasure seekers. The first scheduled revenue services are slated to begin Thursday January 3, 2018.

Ulstome National News

Earlier today the parliament of Ulstome voted on and passed the Nationalization act through parliament with 523 ayes to 326 nays. The Nationalization act would see that several previously government owned industries that had been privatised under past governments would once again return to being under government control. Several new positions were created in the ministries of transportation and the ministry of industry to incorperate and effectively manage their expansion.

The Nationalization act was proposed by MP Harold Drafordson who is quoted of saying “These are essential services for the prosperity of Ulstome and the well being of her people. The only way that they can be properly managed to be in the best interest of the Ulstome people is for the Government to lean forward and take the wheel.”

The Nationalization act would see industries primarily in transport and industry nationalized within the term of this parliament. Companies such as Ulstome Steel and several rail lines will be brought under nationalization immediately according to a government official.

It has been only a few months after the Republic of Callise had the Cimmerian Tariff Act, an act passed by the governing Liberal Coalition in order to combat Cimmerian aggression on Craviter. Now, we ourselves find our necks placed under the Callisean Guillotine with a brand new set of tariffs placed against our very own empire with Maloria taking the brunt of the hit. However, the Malor-Kanadian still has claws that are sharpened, ready for a reaction to the tariffs.


The Comprehensive Fair Trade Act of 2018 was passed as a way to protect Callisean Manufacturing and jobs inside of the country. This is nothing more than cockamamie and an attempt used by the Callisean Government to send a clear message to our newly formed empire that it will not be a client state of it and that it’s sovereignty is very clear. It is obvious to any person that our government sees them as nothing less than our partners but it is evident that Callise doesn’t. Newly elected Chancellor Marten Severyn’s reaction was brutal as it was swift.


The tariffs imposed by the Callisean Government consist of a 50% tariff on Malorian manufactured goods, a 75% tariff placed on Malorian automobiles, and a 25% tariff on Malorian Rare Earth Metals imported into Callise. In addition to this the Kingdom of Kanada faces a 40% tariff on all imported goods into the Republic of Callise. Finally, the Kingdom of Prydania has to deal with tariffs on all imported goods to Callise as well.


Our response? Today on New Year’s the Malor-Kanadian Government announced an increase on the price of all oil being exported to Callise. Callise is heavily dependent on Malorian Oil and as such will feel a heavy hit from this rise of prices on all oil being shipped there. This will send a message to Callise that we are not to be toiled with and will not be subject to any threat of our supremacy on Craviter.


The Malor-Kanadian Empire at the end of the day realizes who its friends are and who its foes are. It does not forgive those who have wronged it but it does remember those who have helped us. Let this serve as a reminder that the Lion still has teeth.

The Empire Lancerienne Garde D'Aviation (ELGA, Lancerian Empire Aviation Guard) announced today a new cadet recruiting drive in a press conference at ELGA's headquarters at Halliet Army Air Force Base in Lannes.

Commandant Jean-Michel Kilmaine, who himself participated in a similar program, is leading the charge to get youth involved in the auxiliary. In an interview with L'Informateur he said that he'd seen the cadet program be personally beneficial to a wide variety of youth he's worked with, fostering a passion for the skies, as well as building strong character.

ELGA's Cadet program offers training in leadership and discipline in addition to training in a small range of aircraft through year-round events and longer summer engagements.

Members of the Guard also play an important assisting role in Search & Rescue and emergency response situations throughout the Empire.

Commandant Kilmaine said today, "ELGA is committed to this new initiative. In the modern world so connected by air, ELGA provides valuable experience that can be transferred to rewarding careers including roles in our prestigious armed forces. I encourage all youth interested in aviation to look into what our Cadet Program offers."

Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure news

For the last several decades the governments of Ulstome has being heavily investing into its national infrastructure. These investments have greatly improved the Regions of Ulstome with major towns and cities rapidly expanding in their size due to the links between places created. In the recent decades the Governments have been planning and investing in improving in connections between the Islands of Ulstome and the land on the mainland of Icenia, with the last major investment having been the "Island tunnels" which were long tunnels that had motorways and railways running through them and connected the Islands of Ulstome to each other. However the land on the mainland of Icenia was not included in this investment.
Now, years after the completion of the "Island tunnels", the Ulstome government has announced that it will be investing into 2 "Continental tunnels" that will connect the Ulstome home island to the mainland Icenia. This plan according to government officials "has been years in the making" and "will bring the islands and the mainland closer together".

The plan involves the construction of:
- 4 man made island in the channel between the Ulstome home island and the Icenia mainland, 2 for each tunnel.
- 2 long undersea tunnels that are built between the man made islands in the channel.
- 4 long bridges, 2 for each side of the channel that connect to the man made islands.
- Railways and roads on each of them

The government will be issuing information to households across of Ulstome and will be talking to foreign nations that have expressed an interest in the plan.

Lotheland Matriarch turns 91

Gaerta auf Kraeg-Anegburn, Duchess of Lotheland, Hastenfrakta, celebrates her 91st birthday today. She is currently the oldest living monarch and oldest living Noble in Vestrugatia.

Queen Esmeralda extended an invitation to visit her at the royal palace, but the feisty nonagenarian replied to her queen by simply stating “My Palace is at Anegburn,” serving a bit of sass to the Hastenfraktan monarch while opening the century long argument over Hastenfraktan control over Lotheland. The queen merely responded by saying “Perhaps next year, if you make it.”

King Sherwin sent flowers and a case of beer from his brewery, which is said to have made the old gal laugh. When the King was asked later about the exchange between the Duchess and the Queen, Sherwin diplomatically responded by saying “It’ll always be a matter of contention that the Lothel part of Lothel-Dutia is Hastenfraktan.”

Despite the drama, most Vestrugatters have been wishing the eldest Noble in the Vestrugat many more wonderful years. King Raenhald is even said to have preemptively wished her a happy 100th.
