Gertbland Gazette #58 | Pirates Sail to Plunder Booty, Fear of Future Battles Mount

On Sunday, law enforcement was called when a multi-masted Bermuda-rigged ship’s crew was spotted harassing commercial vessels in an anchorage outside of New Gertbland City. When authorities investigated the goings-on, they were surprised to see that the crew of the rogue sailboat had outfitted it with several homemade muzzle-loaded cannons. The ship’s crew referred to themselves as the Pirates of Barracuda Bay and to their boat as the “Skull Island Schooner.” When threatened with action by the coast guard, the self-proclaimed pirates warned authorities of a fearsome fleet led by a Captain Sourbeard. After the pirates had forced a mariner from one of the anchored commercial vessels of the of the Skull Island Schooner with a dramatic walk off of a plank, they swiftly escaped from the coast guard. Gert Aundrieou, the hostage taken by the Barracuda Bay Pirates, recounts his story when imprisoned with 20 other hostages taken by the Barracuda Bay Pirates:

“Half of them were completely unintelligible. They only responded with ‘yargh’, ‘aye aye’, ‘and ‘argh.’ The only other time I heard them say a word was when they were ordered around by their first mate ‘Powder-eye Patty’ and their own Captain ‘Lieutenant Leersnake’ where the crew would call them skipper and cap’n, respectively. Their cannons were pretty impressive and made with actual iron and stuff, and they even fired a few cannonballs into some tanker that was anchored.”

Cartographers are unsure what the pirates mean when they hailed from Barracuda Bay or Skull Island, as there is no known bay, key, or inlet known as such in Gertbland. Admiral Broadside of the coast guard has vowed to hunt down the elusive Skull Island Schooner, and bring Lieutenant Leersnake to justice before Captain Sourbeard’s fleet arrives, if it ever does.

In other news, Snack Brands, the parent company of the household-brand Yumco, recently acquired the Greenstraw company to promote their environmentally-friendly initiatives and expand into the adult straw market. Economists say this acquisition is also a response to the major legal blows dealt to the Funzi-INC corporation in Gundun, a major competitor in the international straw market.

The Biscuit Straw War
==============

Funzi-INC™ is one of the corporate giants of Gundun, and with a notable presence around the world. However, their record for dominating the straw industry for years was now under threat by its biggest competitor, Snack Brands and Yumco. After their recently acquiring of the Greenstraw corporation, well known for their highly reliable paper straws. Funzi-INC™'s global dominance was now under threat. Until a new product that would put all the soggy paper straws to shame, a straw that would put those annoying metal straws back into to bin, a straw that would replace the ever popular plastic straw.

The Biscuit Straw!™

Using a special (And secret) formular Funzi-INC™ was able to create a biscuit that wouldn't become soft in any drink, wouldn't snap in half upon subtle pressure, and was a yummy snack after your soda! The straw is also completely environmentally safe as well since... its a biscuit. The lead scientist responsible for the creation of the biscuit was asked for an interview:

"The idea itself wasn't the hard part, making the biscuit hard enough to not break in half from handling and transportation, and both water resistant and safe to eat was indeed tricky. Jim our test subject will be missed dearly. My lawyer advises i don't say anything else about him."

The CEO of Funzi-INC™ was reported to be dancing in his office following the release of the Biscuit Straw.

Gertbland Gazette #59 | Study Reveals Drinking Problem Worse than Ever in Schools, Action Demanded

A study conducted by the Parents for an Improved Schooling System (PISS), an education advocacy group supported by the prolific Worried Moms and Dads (WMD) parental rights organization, has many school administrators and parents concerned over the drinking habits of students at all levels. According to the study, the 2023 school year experienced a 23% increase in the amount of drinks spilled during lunchtime since the last school year. Child psychology experts expect the spillage rate to grow steadily as political and social tensions around the world continue to affect students and their families. Since the release of the study, PISS and WMD have pushed for legislative action in improving counselor availability to curb the spillage rate. Margarine Daofan, a child psychologist that cooperated in the PISS study, shares her own findings and solutions:

“The evidence is very clear. When people are anxious or scared they get shaky, and when they get shaky they spill their drinks more. Although you could say there may be some worry for an exam a kid didn’t study for or they forgot their homework, we cannot let this pass by. Honestly, this issue cannot come to the forefront at a better time. For years spillage rates have increased. We aren’t crying over the milk, we’re crying about why the milk was spilled.”

Recently, the WMD requested for volunteers to monitor children spilling drinks in public and report their findings with monthly “spill reports” in hopes of recording child anxiety outside of the school cafeteria.

In other news, investigations into the whereabouts of the Skull Island Schooner have led to a task force of coast guard patrol vessels to look out for any suspicious sailboats. Interviews with Admiral Broadside have yet to prove any success.

Reculand, Stundezznia and Yalcov are brother nations. they all have a similar history. all 3 of them used to be oppressed by different empires. the 3 territories were never separated from each other when being taken over. they were freed together as one nation, but due to cultural differences, they separated

⚞⚞⚞⚞HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS SITTING IN FRONT OF THEIR TELEVISION WORLDWIDE GET STARTLED OF A SUDDEN CUT ON THEIR FAVORITE TV-SHOW, INTENSE HOCKEY STREAM & MONOTONIC NEWS SPEECH THEY WERE SPECTATING AT⚟⚟⚟⚟

A video footage starts playing with slightly distorted audio. Birds can be heard singing, leaves rustling. In middle of the video there stands five men, all of them wearing white Mih'kwéhs, a traditional scarf used by Creeyoans in everyday life, which works as a way for everyone to identify the family and tribe each of them belong. These men are not civilians. four of the men wear army uniforms and light combat equipments, showing their brand new assault rifles and machineguns to the viewers. The fifth man, standing in the middle, wears traditional Creeyo clothing and white headband.

The men stand there in silence. Their determined eyes, which are the only thing seen from their faces covered by the scarf, stare at the viewer's soul. What feels like an eternity lasts for only few seconds, as the man in the middle takes three steps towards the camera. With broke english, the man breaks the silence.

------------------------------------------

"I am Wîpîyamâhtâw. I am the Chief of Tahapatsa. I am the Grand Chief of Askelewi. I am the ruler of Creeyo. These men behind me are under my control. These men are my family. These men are the protectors of Creeyo. My wife, my siblings, my children, my parents. Their wives, their siblings, their children, their parents. We have all suffered under foreign suppression. We have faced total slaughter by our oppressors. We were thrown out of our homes, our food and water taken, our cows and horses. This world we all, includning you, live in, has seen a lot. You see news about biscuits. You see news about Grandpa building a gun. You see news about volleyball champions. Let me tell you one thing. You have never seen news about our suffering. We cry blood, but no one hears our call for help. The word 'Creeyo' is a brand new word for most of the people who witness this video. And that's the reason we had to do this."

"I, as the Grand Chief of Askelewi, ask the leaders of the world to understand our pain and react to it. We call for the leaders of the world to gather here and recognize us, to understand what is going on, to force Iskalotian settlers to leave our lands. To end my speech, I shall announce my first, and very last ultimatum for Estland-Iskalot to dismantle the oppressive government placed in our lands and leave. This is the most I can do diplomatically. I can do way more with weapons, and Creeyo as whole nation, as whole people, is more than willing to use them if our oppression continues any further. Wakan Tanka, tunkasila Akicita oyate!"

⚞⚞⚞⚞THE TELEVISION CUTS BACK TO LIVE BROADCASTS AND HOCKEY GAME, AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED⚟⚟⚟⚟

The mid-day winter sun shone a muffed glimmer through the heavy winter clouds. Temperatures were close to zero, ponds and lakes become frozen landscapes of ice and snow. A drunken man stumbles into his modest apartment, empty beer bottle in hand he held it up above his head hoping a drop would fall, disappointment quickly followed along with a lazy toss of the bottle towards the open bin. Only to completely miss shattering the jug. The man curses for a while before slumping onto the beige couch.

After fiddling with the remote nothing but boring news was on.

"Today in Veoani-"

BZZ

"-An aviation miracle in Middle ge-"

BZZ

"Rumer's about Askelewi-

Nothing interesting. The man angerly shuts down the television and stumbles over towards the computer. A breeze of frigid wind blows in through the open window. Outside hundreds of loud tourists flock to a random yet architecturally lovely building. The man grumbles about regretting buying this downtown apartment, no wonder the price was to good to be true. Hours pass as he death-stares at the glowing blue screen of expensive furniture and carpets, he mutters many Ooo's and Ahh's.

"COME TO TETU-"

Yet another tourist ad plasters itself on the screen, He grumbles angerly once again spam clicking the microscopic X quicker then sound.

As mid-night approaches, the moonlights white glimmer slices through the windows of the apartment. Glinting off of the still uncleaned shattered glass along the floor. The attraction outside while quieter then in the day, still houses a few remaining people. Inside, the man's head lays on the keyboard drooling over it, a cold microwave meal sits on the desk beside him. The screen still on and plastered with ad's left and right...

KALEVI NEWSPAPER 19/3/24

Ziemelkrasti Readiness unit starts the largest recruitment program in years - "Askelewi must be taken seriously"

Yesterday evening, the president Longins Grube gave a formal permission for colonel lieutenant Egons Zvinelis to take hold of multiple disabled barracks and start the first recruitment season of Ziemelkrasti Readiness Unit. The recruitment ads all shout that SV-Z is looking for more than 3,000 individuals with fluency in Iskalotian, past military service with good grades, and athleticism. The Lieutenant Colonel announced that this is the answer to the threats sent by an Creeyo-nationalist, self-proclaimed ruler of Askelewi, Wipiyamahtaw. The president Grube was also asked an opinion on the possible escalation of the crisis: "What we have witnessed so far is very dangerous. the main goal of Creeyoans is to force our people out of their homes, which we simply can not allow. That is why, especially now, Askelewi must be taken seriously. They have received high-quality weaponry from Shanting and are clearly preparing for an escalation of the conflict. We have to deliver a strong message to Creeyo, which is why we have to strenghten the SV-Z positions in Cultural Border Zone."

Alongside the news that SV-Z is sending more units to CBZ, rumours have began spreading that Estian Defence Forces have made deals with Vostok, a Private Military Company from Novoroyska to help in efforts to stop the conflict from escalating. Whether or not these rumours are true, is unclear, as Estian Defence Forces and SV-Z have refrained from answering any questions regarding Vostok.

Amidst the increasing danger of escalation outside the borders, the presidential elections are coming closer, and many candidates have already given their opinion about the situation. Margareeta Kabin from Rohelinet said, quote: "It's very unfortunate to see the age-long conflict continuing, yet the simplest way to end the suffering of innocent is to just pull out. For some reason, the high command is not willing to do this, but instead throws more wood in the bonfire." Margus Sirel from Estiased Partei also accompanied with Kabin and wondered why Estland interferes in a subject that does not even touch Estians. Emil Tohni from Sinine Liike on the other hand, sees the increasing of SV-Z operators in the region as necessary, after "it was revealed that Askelewi is nothing but a mere puppet of Shanting, used as a hook for Shanting to strike in our side." Tohni added that this conflict will reveal whether or not INCOM is a hoax as he has been doubting for long time. Other candidates supporting the move to not step back include Matias Kõlmperä from Meie Tulevik, Andres Põder from Estiased Partei, and Sergei Suzkovic from Koalitio. Eerik Lahtuja from Uusi Alku was notably outraged of the deicision to keep troops in Cultural Border Zone and could not find any understanding for intentionally portraying Creeyoans and Shanting as an enemy.

authors note./ background info
the 3 countries of Reculand, Stundezznia and yalcov are based off of a world I made. the world is based of of the Avatar, the last air bender world. the world is as folows
on the main continent, stundezznia, communist, is in the north. south of stundezznia is Fuzland, capitalist. east of stundezznia is Reculand, capitalist. west of stundezznia is the earth kindome, capitalist. south of them is eculand. east of eculand is Avuland. west of Eculand is the earth empire. although, the earth empire is not an empire, they don't want to change the name. south of all that is the earth republic. there of course is the fire nation, the north fire nation, the north water tribe and the south water tribe. there is a new continent, with the only country being the new world republic.

Attention
due to the new formation of Reculand, Stundezznia, and Yalcov, other races in the aria, namely the Fuz, Avus, Ebus, and Ecus are wanting to create their own countries. however, the land they want is already in control of other nations. protests have erupted across the ecozien region. The Avus, Ebus, and Ecus were appeased when cultural centers were built.

in other parts of the ecozien region, nations such as the northern water tribe, the southern water tribe, and the republic of fire are all being created.

In Stundezznia, the protests have gotten out of hand. the Fuz, who are being ruled by their ancient enemies, have turned to violence. in the most recent protest, 36 people died. some of them were innocent bystanders, others were police. after this shock, the Stundezznian government has refused to consider the creation of Fuzland as a new nation. thier claimes are that if the new nation of Fuzland was created, it would issue even more violence that if they kept it the way it is. Reculand troops have moved into the aria to help prevent a civil war.

The New Age

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCMENT

The city of New Horizon is now opened Internationally for any and all to come take part in the "Nova Horizon Celebration" that will take place within the city, after more that half a decade the city and it's denizens are ready to show the world, and the rest of the UF, what they have been preparing and teasing at what the future has in store for the Electrican people. The Age of Ascension has begun, and the Horizonites invite any and all to come along for the rise!

External

it was very active in the city at the moment, a large part of the city in several districts had been chosen to be the area in which any tourist or new citizens would be able to come and see all of the wonders that Electrica and it's people had created, whether it was vendors preparing food, streets being decorated, or businesses getting ready to show off their goods to make a pretty penny off the visitors. Even then the city could also go about it's business without too much disruption, small ships on the canal brought in goods and people, transportation but private and public went along smoothly, the magnum opus of Electrica had fully come to life.

Speaking of....

Internal

A young man was standing on a walkway he looked to be in his early 20's with fair skin, red hair, and emerald green eyes, both of which were watching the preparations in the distance. Workers set up some of the advertisements for a "Digital Reality Center", people setting up very techy decorations to line the streets in neon light, and a parades worth of food stalls and trucks dotted the streets and corners and was cooking up a storm. This was going to be the celebration of a lifetime, well, it was second best considering what's coming in the summer.

Another: "Yo Calvin!"

He turns around to see his best friends approaching, Andreas and Jericho. Andreas was similar in age to him, however he had a much darker skin tone with yellow dyed hair and yellow eyes, one which was actually a cybernetic eye, meanwhile Jericho had a much more coppery skin tone with turquoise dyed hair and blue eyes. One thing they did share besides their age was a silver colored wristband, that had blue accented colors making a circuit-like design on the wrist, with a orange falcon holding a ring, inside the ring each had a U inside of them.

Andreas: "What you doing out here alone? We only got like, half a hour before we gotta get back to the Donut.

Calvin: "I was just here watching the city is all. Jericho chuckles.

Jericho: "Hmmph, since when was you one to do solitary sightseeing?" Calvin scoffs at this but smiles and gets off the railing.

Calvin: "Solitary? Brother I'm out in the open in public, how is this solitary?"

Andreas: "Cause your not with us!" He says throwing an arm around Calvin and Jericho and pulls them in with a laugh. "But seriously tho we need to get back, the others want us so we can set up our booth for the Celebration."

And with that he guides them, heading for a tram station that would take them to the Donut of Knowledge.

End of Scene

External

All around the country hundreds if not thousands of people begin making their way to the city, on the international stage the invitation is being sent on periodic repeat and personal invitations to world leaders and important figures are being sent, even with the nations new policy of closing itself off, New Horizon intends to shine it's brightest for all to see.

News update. War nearly broke out, but was prevented by Reculand absence of weapon restrictions.

a recent Fuz protest in Stundezznia turned deadly when 1,700 Fuz protesters stormed a relatively small military base on the Stundezznia, Reculand border. the riot happened on a Stundezznia national holiday. this ment that the base was relatively unguarded. the rioters took the weapons in the base and marched out to Reculand. the Reculand military was notified, but was unable to do anything, because the military was deep inside Stundezznia to help prevent a civil war. luckily, due to Reculand absence of weapon restrictions, the protesters were met with civilians driving tanks, anti artillery weapons, machine guns, and flying private fighter jets. The Recus Fired on the Fuz protesters. In the battle, 1,283 fuz were killed, 381 captured and 36 escaped. only 3 Recus died with 7 others injured.

The battle caused many fingers to be pointed at different entities. for example, a Stundezznia celebrity blamed Grenopia, while failing to show any reasoning. a civil war is evidently becoming more of a possibility.

“Hmmmm a wedding cake can be arranged, of course. Mayhaps we can call a famed artisan from Solaire. North Electrican tradition will be naturally respected. An after party….” Lord Yang frowned. “We are unfamiliar with such a practice but I’m sure mine Ministry of Ceremonies will be able to work with Electrica to see this through.”

Taihe sipped her tea and placed it serenely on the table. The lilac wisteria fell with a breath of air, a soft fragrant rain that carpeted the floor. “A further issue that I’d surely like to illuminate is… the question of dress. Fengese imperial wedding tradition dictates the wearing of full Fengese robes due. This is due to the significance of such a event as not only is Abraham joining a monarch in marriage: he also becomes the Emperor Consort and receives said position’s regalia. To add to such a prestigious event, Abraham will also be the first Emperor Consort in centuries. My question is: would Abraham be alright to wear such a garb? Of course, proper training would all be provided to know how to manoeuvre in the imperial garment.”

Zhengzhu nodded, pouring Taihe’s tea and ignoring the guard’s steadily unsubtle gaze. She rolled her eyes as she turned away.
…some nerve he has to trifle with her majesty’s chief handmaiden and head of all of Yongan Palace’s servants.

Roxanne: "Ah I'd look forward with discussing it with them!"

As she happily thinks about the party Abraham would contemplate on wearing the wedding robes. He was fine with wearing the robes though he didn't think it would be that difficult to traverse in a robe, but might as well go with it.

Abraham: "I will be alright with wearing the wedding robes, and taking the lessons for it." The two members of his entourage would glance over at him, he didn't even know what the robes looked like and he was accepting it so casually. Well you reap what you sow. "As for the Grace you mentioned earlier we would be fine to not have our residence be recognized as such, compared to the ones here it can't really be called a palace. Though perhaps at some point we can discuss having a residence for my family to be constructed somewhere here in the Dynasty? After the wedding of course."

Outside of the main talk the soldier realizes that he had stepped out of line, and that Zhengzhu noticed him staring, and straightens up immediately.

“Abraham would naturally be granted the Palace of the Empress, as is his right when he becomes the Prince Consort. It is the Ji’ning Palace in Yongan to be precise. It has enough to host a great many inhabitants, but I have no objections should you desire a separate residence here.” Taihe twirled a piece of hair that fell out of her bun: a rebellious strand she didn’t bother to discipline. “I am glad all is comfortable with the arrangements. The imperial system of titles was… not designed for a woman Emperor in mind, so naturally some confusion would be inevitable. Please excuse any inefficiency.” A woman Emperor marrying and keeping her sovereign status has also been unheard of in all the innumerable dynasties due to some elderly officials unwilling to recognise a woman above them. Her large eyes were inscrutable. A marriage that destroys their world, yet brings too much prosperity to refuse. Checkmate to the old fools.
Taihe stood up. “In any case, the wedding shall happen seven days from now. Is there anything else that wants to be discussed?”

Abraham: "It's alright." After all this wedding is pretty unconventional, a few "first times" and a person from a far away country becoming a consort, in a nation with deep rooted tradition it was only natural that event's like these wouldn't have been accounted for. "I believe that is everything, my mother will handle discussions with the Ministry of Ceremonies, and if there is anything else that comes to attention my assistant Ms. Carmine can handle it". he would then turn to Taihe with a smile. "And if her Majesty wishes to speak on personal matters I am at your disposal." he finishes giving her a respectful nod.

Anston, Gundun
Kingsbay

    After a few days of back-and-forth dialogues between UKMCK and Novoroyska, a meeting place was finally decided: Anston, Gundun with the Gundanion officials inviting both visiting Heads of State to mediate in the Capitol Building. Nonetheless, it was decided as Andriy braced himself to meet with Mashiro.

    An Isminoff I-96-300ST would be seen approaching Anston International Airport with all its grandeur of Novoroyskan imagery on its fuselage as it approached the runway.
    The airport is surprisingly empty considering it's an international airport and within the capital city no less. As the plane began descending toward the runway, three S-33 fighter jets flew past it in a V formation with blue, white, and red smoke trailing behind them, the tricolor patterns of the Novoroyskan flag as the three fighter jets are then seen doing some fancy maneuvers before the smoke trails disappeared as they flew off into the horizon, probably to whatever carrier they took off from.

    The I-96 touched down on the tarmac before it began slowing down before taxiing off the runway towards whatever Ceremony the Gundanions had planned. The plane took a few minutes to taxi towards the red carpet ceremony. After another minute of getting boarding stairs in place, the door of the plane opened up as none other than Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich emerged from it with two menacing soldiers in full gear following closely behind him and descending the stairs waving at the many onlookers and journalists, before stepping on the red carpet with Gundanion honor guards standing next to both edges of the carpet. Approaching President Izlance and his subordinates, he shook his hand before shaking the hands of Vice President Denvin Lecnor and the Head of International Affairs Pos'lo Olama.

    "I'm guessing this is a one-of-a-kind situation for Gundun Mr. President?" Andriy said to Izlance as he stood beside him, awaiting the arrival of Grand Chancellor Mashiro's plane.

`` Halló, good afternoon, I am Heydirsson, you are watching Aurora Central Broadcasting. The current time is 12:00 P.M Stortfjall Standard Time.

Our first news of the day, in an unprecedented move, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Novoroyska, Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich has invited the Grand Chancellor of the United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor and head of the Liberal Democratic Union of Pupatory, Ms. Fuyuki Mashiro to a diplomatic meeting in Anston, Gundun to quote "repair lasting impacts on relations between Novoroyska and Miotia-Candor" as said by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Novoroyska, Mr. Viktor Mikhailovich. Right about now, Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich should be touching down at Anston International Airport to be greeted by the President of Gundun, Mr. Izlance Yran with a greeting ceremony and await the arrival of Ms. Fuyuki Mashiro. We'll move to Ms. Idrina Missinova in Anston, Ms. Idrina?``

    `` Thanks Heydirsson, I'm currently standing near a crowd as Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich's plane touched down in Anston International Airport a few minutes ago as we saw fighter jets with smoke trails in the form of the Novoroyskan flag pass over us not too far back. ``

`` I'm guessing there are quite a lot of people in attendance to view Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich I'm guessing?``

    `` That's right Heydirsson, our crew was lucky enough to get a front view position of the ceremony as you can see Gundanion Honor Guards waiting behind me to greet Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich and- Oh! I think that's him now! ``
    ⠀⠀The camera cuts to Andriy walking down the stairs.-
    `` That's General Secretary Andriy Vasilyevich walking down from his private transport now, I don't think we'll be able to interview him for the time being until the discussions have concluded so we'll cut back to you, Heydirsson? ``

`` Thanks, Idrina, anyways, as you can see, this is as stated before, a historic moment not only for Gundun but for the rest of the world perhaps. With Gundun being a member state of the Intercontinental Commonwealth, we're expecting Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich to receive a warm welcome from the people of Gundun. ``

`` Moving on, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Relations, Mr. Vagn Ríósson announced recently in a press conference yesterday that the Republic of Aurorheim will now formally recognize the secessionist government in Kilameh region formerly under the control of The afzhizstan as a fully sovereign state and has condemned the Afzhizstan government in actively opposing people wishing to attain freedom and self-governance from it. Furthermore, he clarified that Aurorheim will be working actively with its allies in the Northern Cooperation and Security Organization to assist the secessionists in Kilameh by providing humanitarian, monetary, military, and possibly even armed assistance if necessary by deploying Republican Marines to the region to assist Kilameh's struggle. We'll now cut to a recording of that conference. ``

    `` I can confidently relay to the people of Aurorheim that the President and his cabinet stand with the Kilameh struggle and are willing to offer any amount of assistance in helping a new democracy flourish in the harsh lands of Central Wasaru. To reinforce this, effective immediately as of March 25th, 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Relations and by extension, the Republic of Aurorheim will be recognizing Kilameh as a legitimate governing state separate from Afzhizstan and speaking of which, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Relations formally condemns the Afzhiz regime and its effort to force the people of Kilameh back into a destitute of agony and sorrow. Because of this, we have requested that the Afzhiz embassy here in Stortfjall close its doors and go back to Afzhizstan until their oppressive regime is willing to negotiate with NCSO representatives to end this needless bloodshed. That's all I have for now but, I'll take a few questions before we end this.

    ~Does the President and his cabinet have any plans for how Aurorheim might assist Kilameh?
    While we haven't formally decided on anything yet, I can tell you that Humanitarian, Monetary, and Military assistance is very much on the table to add to that, we are considering deploying Republican Marines from the Navy into Kilameh to assist Anterian and Kilameh forces.

    ~Just how far is the President willing to take Aurorheim in assisting Kilameh?
    While our goal is to assist Kilameh, we will not support nor condone any aggressive attacks against Afzhizstan nor do will we support any forceful conquest of lands, let's make it clear, we're defending liberty, not promoting a war.

    ~Will Aurorheim and NCSO attempt to limit Afzhizstan's economic capabilities by perhaps freezing its overseas assets or imposing sanctions?
    For the time being, Aurorheim is yet to start a dialogue with other NCSO nations but, that is very much on the table as well. However, until we've talked it over with our allies, we will take no such actions for now.

    ~Will Aurorheim attempt to perhaps negotiate with say the Intercontinental Commonwealth in opposing the Afzhiz regime and support Kilameh?
    No, that has not been considered and I'm doubtful it will be despite the rather warm relations between a few of the INCOM and NCSO states.

    That's all the questions for now, thank you.``

`` Those were the words of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Relations, Mr. Vagn Ríósson. Time will tell how this situation unfolds. ``

`` Lastly, for the time being, Altikarian refugees detained back in November of last year have been released as 76,000 of the 80,000 immigrants have been granted asylum status with the remaining 4,000 being deported back to Altikar due to their criminal records. However, the Office for Homeland Affairs is still working with the Homeguard Army to detain any further illegal immigrants still Aurora proper as they suspect that there are several dozen Altikarians still at large after several refugee boats landed in Western Aurora over three months. Citizens are advised to contact authorities if they have any information concerning this situation. ``

`` We'll now be moving on to the weather broadcast... ``

Anston, Gundun
Kingsbay
    After a few days of back-and-forth dialogues between UKMCK and Novoroyska, a meeting place was finally decided: Anston, Gundun with the Gundanion officials inviting both visiting Heads of State to mediate in the Capitol Building. Nonetheless, it was decided as Andriy braced himself to meet with Mashiro.

    An Isminoff I-96-300ST would be seen approaching Anston International Airport with all its grandeur of Novoroyskan imagery on its fuselage as it approached the runway.
    The airport is surprisingly empty considering it's an international airport and within the capital city no less. As the plane began descending toward the runway, three S-33 fighter jets flew past it in a V formation with blue, white, and red smoke trailing behind them, the tricolor patterns of the Novoroyskan flag as the three fighter jets are then seen doing some fancy maneuvers before the smoke trails disappeared as they flew off into the horizon, probably to whatever carrier they took off from.

    The I-96 touched down on the tarmac before it began slowing down before taxiing off the runway towards whatever Ceremony the Gundanions had planned. The plane took a few minutes to taxi towards the red carpet ceremony. After another minute of getting boarding stairs in place, the door of the plane opened up as none other than Mr. Andriy Vasilyevich emerged from it with two menacing soldiers in full gear following closely behind him and descending the stairs waving at the many onlookers and journalists, before stepping on the red carpet with Gundanion honor guards standing next to both edges of the carpet. Approaching President Izlance and his subordinates, he shook his hand before shaking the hands of Vice President Denvin Lecnor and the Head of International Affairs Pos'lo Olama.

    "I'm guessing this is a one-of-a-kind situation for Gundun Mr. President?" Andriy said to Izlance as he stood beside him, awaiting the arrival of Grand Chancellor Mashiro's plane.

Kingsbay, Anston, Gundun; 0.0_2.1;12:19;26/03/2024
Above the clouds, a quadruple-engine white aircraft covered with Pupatorian runes began its descent. Its Pupatorian rune-covered wing with no apparent joints began to morph its shape to extend its trailing edge flaps.
It was the Royal Wing One, an Arsviellec A666-558ER type aircraft, frequently used by the United Kingdom States representatives, especially the Edokyuuria government. It is currently running on synthetic biofuel to comply with the UKS’ ecological policies.
Mashiro puts on her seatbelt after returning from the washroom. She leaned on the window to get a better look at the pancake-looking cloud, then turned to the city below as the plane approached the runway.

12:30
Mashiro sighed as she approached the plane door. On the other side of the door, it’s stairs and a long red carpet, with journalists and government officials standing outside.
“Just another day at work.” She murmured and gave the signal to open the door. The bright light of the sun shines into the cabin of the plane, forcing Mashiro to cover her eyes until she adjusts to the light. Taking her first step into the carpet, she waved with a gentle smile at the crowd in the distance, actively looking for cameras.
Behind her, two annoyed-looking Nephlims Bs in a black suit and PHS standard hats followed. They also waved at the onlookers with a friendly smile. Then one of them turned toward the skies, smiled with her eyes closed, and tipped her hat at the heavens, as if she was thanking something in particular.

At that very moment 60,000km above Wasaru, Rias Space International Elevator, on the Celestia Module. The Rhongomyniad central network disabled its automatic target locking on the three departing three S-33s that were seen as a threat. The mass accelerator began to slow down its perpendicular spin as its light faded into darkness. Completed its task of escorting the seemingly vulnerable Royal Wing One, it returns to its normal passive activities of clearing orbital debris.
