Ja, I am running for the Lord Mayor of Jórvík in September! It will be the first of many successes for the @BAP as we take back our land! And our sovereignty! As a sign of this, I promise you we will rename the city of Jórvík "Yôrk" in honour of its true Bayardi name.

#DailyStatistic: The Bayardi, the native peoples of the land of is now Prydania, are now just less than 10% of the population of Prydania, discriminated against for centuries. Those homeless, landless "Vikings" came as refugees, took the land of the Bayardi and turned them into a minority within their own country. Are we going to allow them to do that to us in Saintonge too?
These conquerors disguised as "refugees" just want to prey on our open society. It's time to fight back.

I am not here to inflame petty grievances, lavish foreign demagogues with praise, or wage a metaphorical war on the rest of the country. I'm here to run for Lord Mayor of Jórvík as a member of the @FLFP and make it a city that works for everyone.

The Jórvík Leeus hockey club has filed a lawsuit in the Maritime and Commercial High Court against the @BAP, alleging that the Bayardi nationalist party's logo infringes on their trademark.

We're not going to take this lying down! The Jórvík family are just puppets of the Prydanians, and they're using their hockey team to try and strip the movement of the Bayardi people of their emblem. This WILL be defended VIGOROUSLY in court.

Strange I need to say this here, but I'm a Bayardi, from Springbok. Does @CvS think that the Jórvík Leeus are owned by the Thane of Jórvík? They're not. They're a community team owned by fans from the city and across the province. My big bro owns a share. Van Schalkwyk's ranting about the people he says he's for.

It's the opinion of the Jórvík Leeus hockey club that the logo of the Bayardi Aksie Party infringes on our club's trademark. It is disappointing to have something like this take away from our club's first playoff appearance in our first season, but we will defend our rightful trademarks in court.

I am here to publicly thank all the sovereign Governments who stood up against the fascist madman who's trying to harm our country, also know as Werdoi Saintonni Danfeh. My special thanks to the Arcantotskan Minister of Foreign Affairs Natasha Danikina, for her announcement of the Arcantotskanni recognition of our emergencial military government. We have been notified by the Tardineanni Ambassadors on Arcantotska that they will remain at our side and asked for protection against the crazy man who's "ruling" Tardine.
We, the Military Junta, would also like to add that, while our government may be considered illegitimate by some people, our sole goal is to overthrow the psycho who's acting as the Tardineanni head of state. The MJ has no interest on keeping the Tardineanni under our rule, as long as Werdoi Danfeh isn't harming the population. Right after achieving our goal, we shall proceed on transitioning the Central Government into a civilian one.
May the Watcher, or whatever you believe in, bless us all.

I guess some people can't understand what they read. Perhaps they lack the knowledge to do so, or are just pretty dumb. I was told that some authoritarian "governments", such as the one held by @YuvelevAntonovich, are using one of my famous books as their propaganda. Never, on my almost 90 years of life, I've heard such bullshit. 1999 wasn't about being a "prime example of the failures perpetuated by the capitalist system and the political-economic oligarchy that rules it". It was about the hypocrisy of authoritarian systems. The FEKAP could be considered by some people a communist party, while their political system could be considered fascist.
It's ridiculous to even think that someone could have though something like that. When I wrote 1999, a long time ago, it was meant to be a shout against the fascist/communist regimes that were spread across Eras. Back then, it was banned for "containing subversive ideas" and I didn't understand why Pofred Risvie did that. However, when I got older (I was 29 when 1999 was launched, still a baby), I understood his reasons behind that decision. He feared that some weirdos could read it and get the wrong idea, or be inspired by it. I'm sure @thewerdoidanfeh also read that, since he's the prime sample of that kind of ruler.
I, Benjamin Jukavit Asimov, will not endorse any kind of authoritarian government, be it communist (as Rayvotoska is) or fascist (as Werdoi is). I said Werdoi and not Tardine because the Tardineannen aren't fascist. I know that, since I remember when they were impressed with that kind of political vision. Therefore, we all need to fight against those who want to impose us a vision that doesn't match with our ideals.

I would like to wish every #FRE veteran and every Civil War veteran from Goyanes, Andrenne, and Kanada a happy anniversary of the end of our civil war and our victory over Syndicalist oppression. Our freedom was only ever won by your sacrifices.
Thank you. Every living Prydanian owes you an eternal debt of gratitude.

The false Emperor of Tardine must be punished for the crimes he inflicts upon humanity and his own people. Werdoi must swiftly be brought to fair justice and with as little further bloodshed as possible. The Commonwealth will not and cannot recognize the current Tardeanni government as legitimate and as anything more than a terror state.

Yes, it is true. the Imperial Assembly is currently drafting resolutions involving the security of the Auburn Channel against pirates, drug traffickers, and the armed terrorists of the IWC. As well as resolutions and proposals for the security of our own waters, and the revitalization of our EEZ. I will be sitting in these resolutions but I cannot reveal any more. After these resolutions are passed or rejected, elections will finally begin and the provisional assembly will dissolve.

Cross-party consensus backs Chancellor's calls for Esthursia to "choose a different path" as party positions continue to drift
The "suppression of devolution" in Aubervijr and "of expression" in Prydania are not thought out for the long-term, says Chancellor Jeremy Wilson
Not particularly often do Esthursian governments make their statements, let alone publicly and clearly, on foreign policy; but following a week of "alarming headlines from our partners both in and out of Auroria", the Chancellor took the first part of Ministers' Askings to comment on the situation in Aubervijr and Prydania.
I would first like to state that as a Government, we are committed above all else - and this comes as a national, not a party political, principle - to safeguarding our Overlaw. Constitutional, or overlawly, affairs come above all else. Hence, when we discover that when other nations take steps - whether or not they be based on peoples' interests or not - to infringe their constitutions, it is often to the sorrow of future generations.
Prydania, as a good example of this, has legislation that would be bluntly unlawful here - and the amendments it seeks do not just fall short of ending extremism, but do not remove the white elephant; that Prydanian parties are not allowed to express republican sentiments. If our party, Speaker, had a branch in Prydania, it would be in principle outlawed. We not only understand what Prydania has gone through, but we urge them that this is legislation that jeopardises them in possible future generations if future monarchs do not wish to uphold the constitutional order installed broadly successfully in 2017, or even if future governments use it as a tool to misuse its power. This is not legislation to "strengthen", this is legislation that must be refined around its peoples' freedom of expression. Let me recite a quote from the late Forethegn Turnbrook, Speaker; those who grant too much power to their monarchies, regardless of their past virtues, do so to their descendants' regret; for you cannot choose your monarchs. Aubervijr has recently blocked attempts from its region, Faursia, to devolve power. As a nation who devolves powers to both its three Osynstric Ridings, and the other two Esthursian Ridings, we again will not be following this precedent; such a move here would risk the constitutional balance that our nation has built. We must choose a different path, whereby we can come together, both as a populace and as a democratic institution, to consolidate the Overlaw, and peoples' interests, and where we can not only respectfully disagree with our partners and friends in other nations, but show the world that another way exists. We love that so many in our world, including our own state, have embraced democracy - whether slowly or suddenly, of which Esthursia can claim to have done both - however we must use that democratic functioning to question the actions of our partners, in order that we remain distinct from the autocracies that continue far too plentifully into an era where they do not belong.
We are one of the few nations where unions have gained real power, and through it, another vehicle of democracy in the workplace built. One of the few nations where students can expect to be thanked and subsidised, not charged, for choosing to educate further. One of the few nations where new homeowners can expect to buy homes at similar real-terms costs to the last generation or two. One of the few nations where not only is healthcare ensured, but social care too. Having an Overlaw for 400 years, and building back as a united nation from the Classical Empire and its death throes of tyranny by anarchy; following our Overlaw wherever possible has granted us liberties envied by many and guarded our liberal democracy for future generations to enjoy and cherish. We are not perfect - we have regional divides, from the south-east and north to the west and centre; we have the scars from times of separatism or civil action; and having some degree of poverty is unavoidable to an extent. But we grow because we hold true to our Overlaw, and any use of these incidents to either abuse or misuse our power - whether the effects of unaccountability are felt now or in future generations, even by sheer chance - is not condoned here; and above all else, you are free to question what I say, publicly, through the ballot box, through association or privately, because your Overlaw provides that privilege - and no government should dream of compromising that.
Graham Ingley has also implicated himself in the debate over Prydania's 2017 legislation, calling it a "wonderful piece of legislation of which we should definitely have had here before it was too late", whilst the Conservatives and Liberals "broadly agreed with the sentiment of the Government on this matter", as the questioning moved onto military budgets and education benefits; with Rosemary Manning, a former human rights lawyer by career, hinting that "Ingley's law would find itself stricken from the record as unlawful in Esthursia". The Conservatives have continued to steadily drift towards moderate republicanism, although some within their ranks remain vocally opposed to the new order.Edgard Alburgh, our chief political editor, had this to say on the matter, and on Esthursian politics in general:
You'll find, if you trawl through previous laws and legislation, that very few leaders - with the notable exception of Tharbjarn Einarsson - in the late 20th and 21st centuries dared to contravene the Overlaw, with its 1957 rewriting seeming to solidify its position even further. Similarly, Esthursia has often diverged paths deliberately from other democracies when our governments felt that their actions were wrong.
However, this has rarely been vocalised so publicly.
This is partly because Esthursian ideologies are now objectively different to many of their international counterparts. Esthursian social democracy is essentially a breed of somewhat paternalistic liberal socialism anywhere else, and has returned back to the position it was at before the left's global Third Way drift at the turn of the century. Esthursian liberalism continues to bleed into the centre-left, with social liberalism firmly replacing classical liberalism, and the Liberals' new leader being decisively left-of-centre. Esthursian conservatism continues to branch out, with the main branch being civic conservatism often being interpreted as liberal conservatism or even just simply liberalism in other nations; the soft-right, decidedly liberal conservative or one-nation conservative, is moderate compared to its counterparts to begin with. National conservatism here is fairly similar to its counterparts elsewhere, but the distance between itself and the mainstream electorate as well as the mainstream parties puts it a mile and a half away from power at all times.
As Esthursian ideologies follow an increasingly progressive electorate blindly, often breaking and ending with traditions such as anti-labour union legislation in conservatism or disarmament in socialism, they also diverge in many areas from their international counterparts. Although still individually distinct, liberalism and conservatism in Esthursia would confuse many onlookers from overseas.
The loss of connection between Esthursian politics and its international counterparts globally has given the Osborne government the chance to broadly push for "ideological separatism" - whereby Esthursia does things "its own way", and publicly. Graham Ingley is ironically the last bastion of international politics, in a broadly recognisable strand of national conservatism, in a country that has abandoned the ways of "the Western world" in the eyes of the electorate and mainstream parties.
It's always nice when foreigners, with no context, start moralizing about your country.
Republicanism killed at least four million people here.

It's not in the system, stupid. There are well-run monarchies (Saintonge, Goyanes, Sil Dorsett), there are well-run republics (Mondari). There are badly-run, oppressive monarchies (Aydin, Andrenne), there are badly-run, oppressive republics (late 18th century Callisean Republic, Oklusia, New Aleman).
It's not in the system, it's in the people within the system. Even if you construct what you think is a foolproof system, if there are bad actors within the system, they will find a way to knock it down and seize power. Even if your system is "flawed", if you are able to weed out the bad people and keep them away from power, nobody will then utilise the "flaws" to exploit the system.
Freedom's greatest enemy is not the system, but the megalomaniacs working to seize power.

URGENT NEWS: Criminal organization know as Silver Arms attacked and seized control of the Gambidion Province, well know because of their natural resources and weapons industry. This is the third province taken by the criminals and, once again Emperor Werdoi says the Junta is to blame. "If those criminals self proclaimed 'the saviors of Tardine' didn't take the Ramshuwa lands, the other criminals wouldn't be able to take both Trevisos and Gambidion. They must be all killed, both the Junta and these Silver Arms thugs!".
The leaders of the Military Junta, however, disagree with Werdoi's vision. Klaiden Risvie gave a discourse on the Mardokash island: "We all know that Werdoi's thirst for power has caused all this. However, I must not be like him, who blames everyone and not does nothing to solve the nation's problems. The Military Junta has been the only hope of the Tardineannen, specially considering that the 'fake emperor' can't keep a few bandits away."

The Santonian National Fund @FNS denied the application for funding of upstart luxury brand iDÉEN @idéen. iDÉEN was founded in 2019 by a group of wealthy young adults, many coming from the old (abolished) Santonian nobility. Among its founders are Zoë-Antoinette Conté de Caunes, Henri-Georges de Garambé, Carine-Portia Robic de Menthière, Jean-Louis-Robin Fortier d’Orsanne, and Alexandrie d'Oclusie-Courthez. iDÉEN intended to use the investment to finance new factories and workshops, as the brand had gained significant popularity among certain niche segments of the youth.
FNS stated that iDÉEN did not qualify as a "Santonian-owned company", as some foreign nobles, including Sultan Osman of Aydin, hold a significant equity in the company.

The forces of tyranny are on the move in the Aurorias, undeniably, both to our north, south and east. However, it is our duty and our imperative to contain it and to stand immovably for democracy, for the rule of fair law and for freedom.
Esthursia must unite together to force a message out to those regimes who don't want to hear it: these continents are not home for regimes of terror, nor fear, and you will falter in time. The folks of Ethia, Borea and Mesia deserve destiny over their lives, leaders and futures; and any force that attempts to subvert that must not be condoned or simply accepted. Democracy will prevail. We also welcome those fleeing from the conflicts; as above all else, we must provide for those who want to deny their regimes the ability to control their lives, and we must strengthen the forces of democracy within these Aurorias by showing autocrats that they will never truly command the confidence of the people they force their rule upon.
We remain, before anything else, in solidarity with the folks of each and every nation subjugated to terror by their self-proclaimed "leaders". Esthursia has its arms open for any folks escaping war, and an immense respect for the reserve you are showing against the forces of terror and fear in your own homelands.

BREAKING NEWS: Werdoi Saintonni Danfeh was arrested earlier today, in the city of Olmongeter, by the Military Junta's troops. It was followed soon by happy celebrations all across the country. Now that the war is mostly over, Klaiden Risvie was appointed as Acting General Governor, while the people vote for their preferred political system and democratic elections are set up.
There's still the Silver Arms to fight off, however, today is a day to celebrate!

The polls are out! Vote on your preferred way of government on the official Tardineanni Government site. The following poll is for demonstration purposes only. Tardine counts with your participation!
#knowthecontext Following the speech of the Acting General Governor, Klaiden Risvie, descendant of the late Emperor Pofred Risvie, the transition process to a civilian government apparatus has begun. Now, the Tardineanni must choose which kind of rule they want to have, meaning the phase 2 of the transition is in progress.

@JeremyWilson feels the need to remind everyone "those who grant too much power to their monarchies, regardless of their past virtues, do so to their descendants' regret; for you cannot choose your monarchs."
He probably thinks that he's speaking some great, revealing truth. No, he's not. He's just stating the obvious. My uncle was King Anders III. If anyone is aware of that, it's me. It's why I was committed to the writing of our constitution, because I cannot promise you what will happen long after we're all dead. But I hoped that by doing that I could fix a mistake my grandpabbi made and put meaningful changes in writing, so our freedoms would always have a strong foundation. The Alþingi will do what it will do, and I will abide by the will of the people's representatives.
We know our own recent history better than anyone else does.

Republicans always say that a King should not rule merely due to the actions of his ancestors. Yet they are very quick to insist that he carry all of his father's sins.

The results are in! The Tardineanni have chosen their preferred kind of government. With 74.28% of the valid votes, the Monarchy wins again. 215 years after the last plebiscite, people was given the right to choose their own government once more and they wanted Tardine as it was before.
#knowthecontext Following the speech of the Acting General Governor, Klaiden Risvie, descendant of late Emperor Pofred Risvie, the transition process to a civilian government apparatus has begun a few weeks ago. The next phase of the transition process will consist on choosing who will be the next Emperor or Empress of Tardine. Stay tuned for more informations about the Tardineanni government
