Volcanic Update
At 10:05am local time, ash and gases began to be vented out of a side fissure that had developed over the past 3 hours. The rate of the expulsion concerned scientists from the National Volcanic Laboratories who begun to sound the alarm that a large eruption, heavy rainfall or a sizeable earthquake. Within another hour and a voluntary evacuation underway in along the coast of the larger island and the municipality of Netal, a large explosion occurred on the ocean flank of the mountain. Mount Aeos had laterally erupted due to a swarm of earthquakes near the surface in the minutes leading up to the explosion. Within seconds of the explosion sirens in the municipality and along the coast went off. A few more minutes and the national alert system has gone live as well as information being streamed to the central offices of the Department of Emergency Management (DEM) which proceeded to issue a Blue Alert (highest alert level) which trigged the national oceanic flood walls to begin to raise three meters further above their normal resting position of three meters.

Every major coastal city on the northern and eastern coasts and deeper in the Paxus Principality issued mandatory evacuations along their coastlines and outside their flood defenses. All across social media in the affected large cities, people could be seen running for higher ground or off the beaches to the sound of sirens. The National Broadcasting Network (NBN) interrupted all programing across all networks in the nation to bring a live news report from the Director of DEM, Helene Rivlan.

"Good afternoon citizens of the Empire, at this time all coastal cities on the northern and eastern flanks of the nation are to proceed to a status level of Blue. Mandatory evacuations will be determined by your municipality so please heed their warnings. The tsunami was triggered following a collapse of the ocean side of Mount Aeos which triggered a lateral eruption. At this time it is known that the municipalities closest to the eruption were unaware of the tsunami due to the speed of the wave. Search and rescue teams will be dispatched to the area and the Paxus Principality will be declaring a state of emergency to divert National Guardsmen to aid further evacuations.

Furthermore the resulting eruption has also led to a massive 12km tall plume as well as the continuing eruption of Mount Aeros. Ashfall is expected to be heaviest along the northern coast and somewhat along the eastern. We are hereby grounding or rerouting all air travel in the affected areas plus a buffer zone so as to prevent any accidents. Maritime traffic is advised of the tsunami and the ashfall. Citizens are advised to remain indoors for the duration of the ashfall and to bundle up to protect your skin and wear mouth coverings if you have to go out for anything.

The Empire will get through this with the determination and resolve it has shown in the past. Citizens are asked to also prepare for the arrival of any displaced individuals following this disaster and relief networks are all ready being positioned. Further updates will come. Thank you and be safe."

Again the alert level has been raised to Blue. All affected areas should be advised that mandatory evacuations are underway. Neighboring nations of Qastari and Franconia Empire are also advised about the tsunami. Wave height is to be determined in the local areas as the ocean floor and other features will determine the severity as well. (That means you can determine how severe it is for yourselves)

Updates will follow in the coming hours and days.

Franconia Empire and Majassa

Breaking NOW!: Emperial Emergency Services has issued an official Tsunami Warning for the following state coastlines: Insulae Cerula, Golden Cliffs, Northern Franconian State, Western Franconian State, and the northern and central coastlines of St. Helena. Manditory evacuations are in place for all of Insulae Cerula and Golden Cliffs will see the brunt force of the wave. Wave height around Insulae Cerula will most likely average about 60 feet once it reaches shore, by the time it has reached Golden Cliffs, Wave heights will most likely recede to 38 feet. The Gulf of Franconia (Northern Franconian State, Southern Golden Cliffs and northern coast of Western Franconian State) will most likely see wave height of 30 feet.

This tsunami warning was triggered when emergency services from Mydic broke news about Mt. Aeos laterally erupting causing a tsunami. "Some were not able to evacuate due to the tsunami's force and speed", Mydic Chronical (a popular news source in Mydic) said. Already, Franconians are starting to panic buy supplies, leaving stores and disaster food banks' shelves dry.

(Citizen 1): "I can't even find a can of green beans. I called multiple shelters and the said that they had no food left to feed anybody else."

(Citizen 2): "When were Franconians so greedy? Last time I checked we had people lined up around the block to pay someone 1 Astron for a hug because we're having a bad day. I'm hoping people will share that can of green beans..."

Out of food, out of gasoline, out of green beans in a can. It feels as though all hope is lost. First landfall of the tsunami is expected to hit Insulae Cerula in about an hour. Low ocean floors will push the wave up and make it more intense as it passes through Golden Cliffs and the Gulf of Franconia. Rip Current Warnings and Tsunami Advisories are being issued for West Central Empire, Southern Emperial State, Cobran Native Reserve, and South Protector Isles. Ocean floor depth is too low to affect these areas. Wave height can ctill increase, but maximum will be 5 feet. Surfers are advised not to serf and boaters have been advised to dock until further notice.

Majassa and Mydic Empire

:Mydic Chronicle:

Disaster Update
The NBN once again interrupted all broadcasts in the Empire and this time instead of Direct Rivlan of DEM being the face to greet the nation, instead it was Basileus Leto. His aged steely figure sullen with sorrow and pain of the day. A dash of ash was visible in his otherwise snow white hair. His fine trimmed beard and fine suit portrayed a man in charge. The strength of the empire.

"Citizens, I greet you this night ending a day of horror. The eruption of Mount Aeos has continued steadily and our lead volcanologists are continuing to monitor the situation and advise the government. At my direction, airspace over the entirety of the northern half of the Empire will remain closed for civilian air travel as the eruption maintains outputting ash. Continued concern about potential for further tsunamis has led the government to declare that those under mandatory evacuation will be instead downgraded to voluntary evacuation status. Citizens choosing to remain at evacuation centers will be moved into hotels and other lodging in nearby metropolitan areas at government expense.

Reports suggest that municipalities suffered near total devastation closest to the eruption. Netal where the evacuees from Aeona Island had been taken has been totally wiped out. Reports from National Guardsmen on the ground suggest that nearly nine in ten in the city have perished. Other details coming in from across the Empire suggest that on the mainland and other areas of the Paxus Principality suffered direct hits as well. The Kingdoms of Laconia and Atrea suffered the worst of the damage on the mainland with Atrea also suffering heavy ashfall on the north-eastern coast.

I grieve with you all and I will be touring the affected areas in the coming days. The Empire is with you." With that the camera went dark and local news stations once again took over. Official reports were trickling in across the Empire as it took stock of the devastation that had just been wrought. Some of the highlighted reports are as follow:

-Paxus Principality - Netal Municipality (5,500 citizens) (9/10 casualties)
-Several Large Container vessels are reported to have been left stranded on beaches and sandbars along the cost of Laconia.
-Flood systems in the major metropolis of Tinea failed leading to the beachfront tourist district being wiped out. (Minimal loss of life)

Further updates will come as the Empire continues to recieve and confirm information in the disaster areas. The administration of Archon Galanis is reaching out to neighboring nations offering any assistance they need in order to deal with the aftermath there as well. Also the Empire is getting into contact with far flung nations to help them make sure that as many of their nationals are okay and able to communicate with loved ones. Already the national guard is setting up direct lines of communication with the central government which will allow foreign representatives such as consular staff to operate in the field.

[SNN] Tonight the Sartorian Embassy in Mydia issued a statement saying that it has lost communication with the three Sartorian citizens and one consular officer who were in Netal at the time of the second volcanic eruption. The statement says that "all possible efforts are being made to assess the situation and obtain answers from Mydic authorities" regarding the situation on the ground in Netal.

In nearby Fulvia there was an air of tension as residents took to the stores to stock on supplies, even as both the National Geophysical Institute and the Naval Observatory have confirmed that there is little chance that either the ashfall or the tsunami will reach the islands. Governor Flavia Polidori gave a press conference in which she expressed her "most heartfelt sympathies" for those affected in Mydia and said that her government would continue to monitor the situation, but otherwise asked residents to remain calm and heed government advice on the matter.

Tsunami Aftermath: After the lateral explosion made by Mt. Aeos and a tsunami in Mydic, at least 200 displaced from their home and multiple air quality alerts in effect for Insulae Cerula here at home. Further east, power is still on for Golden Cliffs' coastal areas and little to no damage was reported.

In Northern and Western Franconian States, little damage done for the exception of 32 docked boats capsizing and one person drowning in the sea even after "No swimming" signs and "Beach Closed" signs were up.

So what made the Emperial Emergency Services (EES) predict so incorrectly on how tall the waves were going to be? EES says "We said the waves were going to be beyond what we have seen before, but it was a mechanical error. EES is working on upgrading equipment and had to use maths, geology, geography, and ocean depth to calculate how tall it was. Waves only reached 10 feet and the run-up height was 17 feet at its tallest. An estimated 2,415,000 Astrons were totalled in damages in the affected areas.

Disaster Aftermath
Being made available to the public for the first time since the initial disaster are the casualty reports per realm. Below are the official figures at this time and are expected to change +/- several hundred in either direction in the (*) marked districts. At this time the exception to this is the municipality of Netal in the Paxus Principality. Official death toll for that municipality now stands at 5,500 out of 5,720 including the evacuees from nearby Aeona. At this time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be contacting the affected casualties' nations of origin.

::OFFICIAL CASUALTY REPORT::

PAXUS - 15,872
ATREA - 1,202
LACONIA - 7,532
MYDIA - 8
CAPRO - 2
KYNOS - 0
ARGOS - 0
PARTHENOPIAS - 0
BALERO - 0

At the direction of the National Administration state prelates are to begin disseminating aid and other humanitarian supplies to the affected population. Makeshift shelters and mid-long term housing is being moved into position close to the affected communities. The Imperial Household will be hosting several charity events including a black tie event in a week's time in which foreign leaders will and dignitaries will be invited. Basileus Leto II is said to also be considering naming his grandson to the Council of Crowns to serve as the representative of the Kingdom of Mydia to the council which has customarily been held by the heir presumptive to the Mydic Empire.

Breaking: Franconian Parliament has agreed to donate 4.9 billion Astrons to those in affected areas in our neighbor's territory, Mydic Empire. Mt. Aeos has affected the FE, but national emergency crews are already cleaning up the mess that the tsunami created. Power was restored almost immediately this morning to the Franconian coast. The Astrons being sent to the Mydic Empire will benefit power restoration and helping crews clean up. The Empress has said that she is sending 310,000 National Guardsmen and Women to assist those in need.

More breaking news coming from San Juarez. Food banks are being set up across the nation to help provide for over 500,000 people in Mydic. The Empress has said "The Empire is here to help and we are not taking no for an answer."

All of this said with a smile, the Empire is in full production mode and will continue to be until further notice.

-FENN News

[SNN] The Sartorian Embassy confirmed this morning the death of three Sartorian citizens and a consular officer who were in Netal at the time of the lateral explosion at Mt. Aeos.

The Foreign Ministry has issued an advisory suggesting increased caution when traveling to the realms of Paxus, Atrea, and Mydia, where ashfall from the explosion is expected. While the Foreign Minister has declined to issue an advisory against non-essential travel at this time, it did highlight in a statement today that any citizen wishing to evacuate these areas is welcome to contact the embassy or the nearest consulate for assistance.

Breaking Politics: Empress Xemptoworth has announced that the official expulsion of the Franconian Conservative Party will start tomorrow at 8 am. Parliamentary doors will open at 745am with the FDP marching in first, then Commoners, then Eco Party, and the expulsion of the FCP will be final when former minority leader April O'Makk gets the door slammed on her face.

This has been the first party expulsion since Emperor Alex ran the Leaders' Party a long time ago.

This expulsion comes from evidence that 14 of the 35 members of the FCP had committed crimes against the government by assisting in a Naval Ship Detonation a few months ago and assisted in the illegal passing of legislation to turn off taps in Golden Cliffs, also a few months back (OOC: I cannot find them, but I'm assuming it's been a few months). The Empress, still surprised she has to do this, said that she is "finding it hard to believe that another party can do outrageous acts of cowardice and expulsion from Parliament will make sure that items of legislation, no matter the party, will continue to be checked and agreed on".

Qastari National Report

In the two weeks since the beginning of the eruption of Mount Aeos on the Mydic Island Aeonas, the Qastari government has taken numerous measures to ensure the safety of it's coasts, citizens abroad, and reach out to nations facing consequences in the devastating event. However, the situation has evolved and intensified rapidly, and they are eager to see a quick resolution to the turn of events.

From the first murmers of an eruption the Qastari Ministry of Geology and Seismology (QMGS), which is tasked with researching and monitoring Geological conditions in and around Qastari, was tasked with observing the event and determining the danger it posed. Within the hour of the news of the first eruption's intensity, the QMGS urged all Qastari citizens in the area to find their way to secure shelter, and for all citizens within the blast radius of a possible secondary eruption to flee the islands and coasts of Mydia and Franconia. All air and ship traffic was thereby ordered immediately to either divert their course or turn back entirely.

The government of Qastari has been known at times to overreact to the danger of geological and meteorological events, but the worst was yet to come.

Within hours of the initial eruption, a secondary eruption ejected a massive plume of noxious gas, and sent a tsunami raging outward from the blast. In one instance of disaster, a cargo ship which was not able to divert course in time carrying cargo worth upwards of Q̶2bn has completely lost contact, and is believed to either capsized or violently grounded, as it was traveling along a nearby coast at the time.

While the distance is quite significant and Qastari's coasts we're not expected to take quite the battering as some other nations, waves from the resulting tsunami this morning reached several coastal Qastarian cities, worst of all impacted the island province and major port city of Taniys. While no deaths have been reported, the coasts themselves being largely evacuated, many areas have been flooded and significant loss of goods as well as some structural damage is being accounted for.

The government of Qastari has vowed to take all steps necessary in recovering the damage caused, as well as announcing a determination to recover the SS-78QX cargo vessel and it's crew along with any other sea faring vessels reported missing. In the coming weeks, steps will be considered in providing humanitarian aide to countries heavily impacted by the eruption of Aeonas. President Mareqi has suggested that the nation's differences with Mydia should be set aside in this time or natural crisis, as "forces of nature transcend all senses of right, wrong, and ideological struggle except for how we treat those affected by them."

New Haven Gazette

President Martha Prescott today is set to unveil a new memorial in the Riverbrooke National Zone. The memorial is to honor the fallen of the Last War, those who served and have since chosen to be buried in the Riverbrooke National Cemetery, and for the victims of the nuclear attack on the town of Riverbrooke in 2023. That attack was the culmination of the war which began in 2017, years of intense fighting that resulted in a desperate bid by foreign powers to bring the Union to the peace table. Unfortunately a full response by the Union was prompted resulting in a limited nuclear exchange between the Union and its chief enemy. Forces from formerly allied and hostile nations alike joined together against the Union and its foe to form the Global Peace Council which invaded both nations and put an end to the war, denuclearization followed on a global scale.

The 63 year old is a graduate of Washington University in Columbia City and is the former First Lady during her husband’s ten years as President from 2050-2060. Martha Prescott was always seen as a likely contender for the highest office in the Union though it wasn’t until after her husband’s reelection in 2055 that she began to make the kinds of connections necessary to run. It came as no surprise when she ran for Governor of Heartland, the home of the Prescotts for generations, in 2060. She won with 62% of the vote that year and would win reelection in 2065 having revitalized the capital of the Heartland, Central City. Many say that Central City now rivals the great coastal metropolis that is New Grove.

Riding a wave of populism against the World Society and other more xenophobic elements, Martha Prescott rode to victory in the Union Party’s nomination process taking the party staunchly to the right. Left and Left of Center media dubbed her the new Queen of the Far Right. Unfortunately for them the political and popular winds were with her in the 2070 election for President of the Union. She won reelection in 2075 with the largest margin over a defeated rival in 120 years. Her mandate is strong, her resolve steeled and her desire to see the Union once again don the role of ‘superpower.’

((Hey guys Mydic here, this is the Union of Ameriga and will be used to develop plots and stories for the regional canon. If you ever have questions just shoot me or Justinian Kalominos a telegram or a message on discord. I'll periodically post as them to help drive things along, as well as be able to explain why the world is the way it is today. For example no nukes allowed.))

[RSN] Unit 16 Captain Giacomo Bellucci has made headlines amid a new confrontation with the Sartorian Navy. In a case report obtained by RSN, Captain Bellucci writes that he was in Tavoletro due to an ongoing investigation on the disappearance of the NMS Vannelli two years ago (see more here) when he obtained documents alleging to a meeting last month at the Nicola Giorgetti Space Centre attended by Sartorian and Franconian military and space officials. The purpose of the meeting, according to Captain Bellucci, was to discuss the implications of a UFO encounter in Soltane related to the disappearance of the Vannelli.

The Sartorian Navy has expressly denied the existence of the document cited by Captain Bellucci, stating that the mission of the Vannelli is classified, and has stated that no meetings have been held with Franconian military officials on the issue of unidentified flying objects.

Breaking: The Empress has pressed not to go to Hourglass Island for a while due to the ongoing situation with the Cobran Sector. She is now making it a temporary restricted area until violent bleach attacks stop. Empress Xemptoworth has also said to avoid the tunnel on the San Juarez State side of the island because the Cobran Sector could be hiding midway through the tunnel. The Franconian Government is still working on solutions to this problem. No orders to barricade or surround the island with Naval ships just yet, but the Empress might start issuing an order known as "Detaining the Problem". She says that "Detaining the Problem" (or making arrests at an unruly protest, riot, or anything that involves SWAT) might chill the already cold relationship Franconian people have with the Cobran peoples. Cobran leaders, trying to work with the Franconian Government, said that "just repeal(ing) the law will settle things, but the Government is hesitant because they want us to have 'social media'. The only social media we need is our mail tube system, pen, and paper."

More Breaking: The Empress is about to speak on public relations with Cobran Natives own Chief, Chief Irngio Zawanak.

(Xemptoworth): "Good morning. I have urgently called Chief Irngio Zawanak via mail system and he agreed to meet with me and the Franconian Security Council on how to assess the situation right now on Hourglass Island and under Hourglass Island. I realize that your kind people dislike modern era technology, but as pen and paper become less dominant, and rotary telephones have been discontinued for 17 years, we were trying to prepare you for the future and show you how to contact the Emperial Residence if things were to go awry. I pressed this to your Chief, and he likes the idea. He just doesn't like how it was presented. It felt as though we were forcing our ways on their truly natural lifestyle... What I'm trying to say is that we apologize. Nobody should force their culture on another. As of right now, the law stays enacted."

(Chief Irngio Zawanak): "We are going over small details that may bring this law into favor with our people. Instead of providing 100 percent new technology, the Emperial Government and I agreed on technology from 2022 to 2030."

(Xemptoworth): "This is our call for action! We are making great progress and will continue to be open about our talks for now and in the far future."

New Haven Gazette

President Prescott confirmed today at a news conference that she has indeed extended an invitation to Basileus Leto of the Mydic Empire and President Silvia Leggièri to attend the launch of a new state of the art space telescope that the Union has been working on since late 2067. President Prescott was asked as to why she would invite the leaders of powers with whom the Union is at odds and her only response being “science knows no borders.”

The “Nightlight” as it is being referred to is a space telescope that will contain one of the largest arrays of receivers plated in gold palladium. It will be capable of exploring the deepest and oldest regions of space. The project was a triple joint effort between the Union Aerospace Administration (UAA), the private space firm Stellar Corp, and the University of Columbia City.

Breaking: The protests for the wildly unpopular law that passed giving Cobran Natives access to modern technology are growing at a massive rate. Police have been placed on standby on the sidelines of the protests to cut down on looting that has been happening in these areas at night. This comes as a response to semitrucks reportedly not being able to get on and off of three major highways leading to gridlock and traffic jams. Police have redirected traffic around the protests so traffic doesn't jam up again. Massive budget chunks are being cut from electricity in most cities where this is happening and being diverted to Police Management so size of the crowds can be controlled. Everything is being done so this situation doesn't goe put of hand. The Emperial Parliament voted to send National Guardsmen and Women into picket lines if anything gets out of hand.

More Breaking: The tunnel from San Juarez State on the main island to Hourglass Island has been cleared up from the 42 Hour Civilian blockade. This was also a protest, but from the Cobran Sector as their chief called for "more civil ways of protest". The Emperial Department of Intelligence has stated "The Cobran Sector is cooperating with us and is showing signs of apology. All efforts are being done diplomatically and will continue to be done that way by talks between Empress Xemptoworth and Chief Irngio Zawanak."

More news about this later.

[RSN] Casa Baglio has stated that President Leggièri is considering conducting a brief visit to the Union in order to attend the launch of the Nightlight telescope, though no definitive decision has been made yet. While relations between Sartoria and the Union have weakened in recent years, particularly following the election of Martha Prescott, Casa Baglio has stated that it is coordinating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Union to ensure that any visit would serve a strictly scientific purpose.

Franconia Empire and The union of ameriga

:Mydic Chronicle:

The Imperial Palace has confirmed reports that the Union has extended an invitation to Basileus Leto II to attend the launch of the Union’s space telescope called Nightlight. Relations between the Empire and the Union have never recovered from when the Empire joined to stop the nuclear exchange before it widened. Interestingly enough Leto was present during his father’s reign at the time. The palace noted that Basileus Leto has accepted the invitation to attend and that his heir the crown prince Philip will also attend.

Meanwhile the government of the day led by the Archon has been silent in response. Politically such a trip would be impossible given the current center-right ruling coalition but with the Basileus being apolitical his trip is said to only be to further scientific purposes.

President Prescott personally talked with Basileus Leto for his desire to attend the launch of the Nightlight. The President is also said to have offered assurances to the Sartorian Ambassador that the visit would be purely scientific with no political showmanship.

In other Union news, Vice President Oliver Harris is scheduled to meet with the Speaker of the House to discuss new funding for the State of Deseret. Federal Forces are said to be positioning in neighboring states and in Dorado for what appears to be an anti-cartel operation. Travel to all of Deseret for non-essential business is to be strongly advised against for the next two months.

Weather Alert: Franconian meteorologists have all predicted that there might be a dry summer this year. Rainfall has significantly decreased from 290 inches of rain (just 10 years ago) to 173 inches recorded just 2 years ago. The 2074 season received just 163 inches of rain. These numbers may sound significant, but it usually rains quite often in the Empire, about 350 inches on average. The Emperial Climate Change Monitoring Committee (ECCMC) has issued a Level One climate emergency.

(ECCMC Lead Chair Martha Leoson): "The ECCMC is issuing a Level One Climate Threat. More summers have been dry, only 2 hurricanes made landfall last year, and nine percent of our tropical fruit crops have failed due to abnormal and insufficient rainfall. This is a crisis to be dealt with at an international scale..."

The Empress and the FDP invite global leaders here to San Juarez for a Climate Summit. Topics being addressed are decreased rainfall in one of the world's largest rainforests and how carbon emissions are hurting Vesta's ozone layer and creating thick, toxic smog.

[RSN] This morning President of the Senate Carla Marino opened the inaugural session of the 8th National Council. In her remarks Ms Marino stated that "there is no duty more solemn than to elect the head of state" and remarked that she had full confidence that whoever is elected will be a "true and faithful" leader for the nation. President Leggièri has confirmed that she has no interest in seeking a second term, making this an open election.

What is the National Council?

The National Council is the institution entrusted with the indirect election of the President of Sartoria. Every seven years, or as soon as an unscheduled vacancy occurs, each state sends a number of delegates equal to its parliamentary representation so that they may consider candidates for election and cast a ranked choice vote. Only sitting senators may be nominated.

Breaking Politics: We have word that 2 candidates for the Commoners Party have joined the 2077 Federal Elections. (OOC: The FE quietly converted over to the current Vesta Calendar so everything will line up with the current timeline on Vesta.) MP Mike Goodrich and Businesswoman Frida Conway of CostMore are joining the Commoners Party. Here is a little more about the candidates.

Mike Goodrich is an MP for the Commoners Party and has served Emperial Parliament for 35 years under the FDP. The switch came recently as he didn't agree with his party's handling of the situation with the Cobran Sector. His platform's main goals are to tackle the Empress' overspending on infrastructure and to find better outlets to fix the power grid for less than 72.1 Billion Astrons. He believes that the FCP deserved to be expelled from Parliament for their horrendous treason to the Government. His platform will also bring up topic such as tackling the crippling "Xemptoworth Tax Code", bringing more taxes to the Middle and upper class than promised in her campaign as Candidate Hazel (OOC: Xemptoworth is a married surname).

Ms. Frida Conway is a businesswoman, mother of 4, and CEO of CostMore, the FE's leading big chain Warehouse store. She believes that the Xemptoworth administration has been too heavy on taxes for big business. She believes laissez faire should have some play in the Franconian economy to a point. Frida believes in climate change and understands that the oceans won't be far from the middle of the main island for long. She wants to pass a multipartisan bill granting major coastal ports, cities, and small towns access to funding to build levies, canals, and flood walls to protect citizens from ocean level rise. She plans on diverting some funding from the Cohousing Project and the Power Grid Restoration Project to fund this one.

The two candidates are very popular and are even diverting some attention from the FDP. With midterms around the corner, the Commoners Party could win majority making it the first new party to take power in Parliament in 16 years.

Qastari National Report

Following the events of the tsunami left in the way of the eruption of Aeos, the Qastari government has been hard at work assessing the situation and returning to normal. After weeks of planning it has been estimated that normal operations on the coast of Qastari will at a maximum return to normal within the year, with a full recovery of the damages in Taniys expected by mid 2075. In a addition, the Qastari Ministry of Meteorology has begun the process of determining any long term effects that may be felt on the climate in coming years.

The SS-78QX cargo ship, which was lost at sea during the tsunami, has been located along the Franconia Empire's coast near Sedrick, Helena. The Qastari government has reached out requesting clearance for a mission to recover the crew and as much of the cargo as possible. It appears that the ship has suffered extensive damage, and it will likely not be possible to ferry it home for repairs.

Franconia Empire, Mydic Empire, and The union of ameriga

[RSN] Foreign Minister Maurizio Croce led a press conference today where he touched upon a variety of issues, including the following:

  • The Foreign Minister discussed the aftermath of the eruption of Mt Aeos and said that "we are aware of the challenges facing our partners in Franconia and Qastari as they begin to rebuild, and we are determined to lend bilateral assistance through the Sartorian Institute for International Development (ISI) and through further coordination via the Valentian Alliance", pointing out that "the VA has provisions in place precisely to address these kinds of natural disasters".

  • The Foreign Minister also addressed the Union's invitation to President Leggièri and said that following "thorough internal review and further coordination with the Union Embassy" his office has determined that there should be no significant obstacles for President Leggièri to attend the satellite launch, provided that the visit itself remains to be framed as a scientific effort rather than as a political event. The Foreign Minister did say that President Leggièri herself has the final word on whether to accept the invitation, and said that an answer should be expected soon enough, given complexities of organising presidential travel.

Franconia Empire, Mydic Empire, and The union of ameriga

Breaking: As a result from the tsunami from the Mt. Aeos lateral eruption, a cargo ship from Qastari was blasted off course and crashed into the shore of the coastal town of Sedrick, St. Helena. The Republic is requesting clearance to cross international waters to retrieve and recover as much cargo as possible. They also reported that the ship may be too damaged to ferry home to Qastari. The Emperial Navy has granted them access to cross and offered to transfer it to a ship repair bay. The Xemptoworth administration has agreed to let Qastari officials to come and assess the damage.

(Xemptoworth): "We're willing to help in any way. We're more than happy to assist in any way possible and welcome Qastari officials to the shores of the Empire. We hope our help is sufficient enough to get the job done and hope we can adequately help out our neighbor get their ship running and back home."

In other news:

The Empress says that she is not attending the launch of the Nightlight telescope due to many issues going on here at home. The Xemptoworth administration is, instead, sending Vice Empress Ruth McClanahan to attend the launch, along with two space officials from the Emperial Space Agency, now part of the Valentian Alliance (formerly SEA). Franconians here at home hope that the launch is safe and exciting.

Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Wallace, today confirmed that at the direction of President Prescott the Union’s vast relief fund is to be made available to affected nations of the Mount Aeos tsunami.

Meanwhile Secretary of Defense Margaret Halbeck and Secretary of Foreign Affairs Joseph Lampwell during a joint press conference also offered any kind of assistance be it equipment or diplomatic to Franconia Empire at this difficult internal time.

Secretary Lampwell also offered reassurances to Justinian Kalominos about the coming launch of the Nightlight telescope.
