Kayla nods and walks back into the room and sits down at desk, "Sorry about that, I had to take a call from home. So where were we?"
The Gandhistan Council of Bishops sends out this message:
We accept the exiled diplomats into our country for political asylum as the nation of Argenchile is currently experiencing revolutionary fervour and we assume that those people will not be treated fairly as we have seen by other revolutions. It is true that they may have done some corrupt actions but they can easily pay for that in other methods. But we will not let people get tossed to the mob in Argenchile whilst they might die.

This is a National People's Broadcast announcement
Attention: Northarian Party Primaries are commencing soon! A reminder to all citizens: Parties have various rules regarding their electoral process, particularly in who is allowed to vote in the party primary of your choice. Below is a list of political parties that have opted to allow registered Independents to vote in their primary this year:
- The Alliance for the 21st Century (A21)
- The Pirate Party (PrP)
- The Social Democratic Union (SDU)
- Fish and Loaves (FLP)
The remaining four parties require membership in them in order to take part in their primaries. If you intend to vote in these elections, it is highly encouraged to update your registration as soon as possible. It is still possible to register on the day of voting.
The primary process functions as such: Each party will select 100 candidates, the maximum number of Senators that are currently up for election. In January, the general election will take place, and the percentage of the national vote will determine how many of these 100 become Senators from each party. It is highly unlikely, though possible, for all 100 candidates of a specific party to become Senators, though barring this the top candidates in terms of votes received are the ones who shall become Senators.
One more reminder: Early and mail voting has already been underway for the past three weeks, and in-person voting shall commence this coming Monday at 8 AM local time. Citizens will have until next Monday at 8 PM local time to cast their ballots.
And now, a special message from Queen Veia: "This whole week has been declared a national holiday. We here in the government value the input of our fellow citizens very much, and it is important to make your voice heard. Please exercise your democratic right to vote for the people that you believe will represent you the best in the Senate. From here in Dronningsby, we appreciate your votes, and we hope that everyone will take this week-long opportunity to cast a ballot for their candidates. Thank you for your time."
This concludes the official National People's Broadcast announcement.

Dette er en Nasjonalfolkes Kringkasting-kunngjøring
OBS: Nordarisk Parti Primær begynner snart! En påminnelse til alle borgere: Partene har forskjellige regler angående valgprosessen, spesielt i hvem som har lov til å stemme i det primære partiet du ønsker. Nedenfor er en liste over politiske partier som har valgt å tillate registrerte uavhengige å stemme i sitt valg i år:
- Alliansen for det 21. århundre (A21)
- Piratpartiet (PrP)
- Den sosialdemokratiske unionen (SDU)
- Fisk og brød (FLP)
De resterende fire partiene krever medlemskap i dem for å kunne delta i deres primærvalg. Hvis du har tenkt å stemme i disse valgene, oppfordres det til å oppdatere registreringen så snart som mulig. Det er fremdeles mulig å registrere seg på avstemningsdagen.
Den primære prosessen fungerer slik: Hvert parti vil velge 100 kandidater, det maksimale antallet senatorer som for øyeblikket er på valg. I januar vil stortingsvalget finne sted, og prosentandelen av den nasjonale stemmene vil avgjøre hvor mange av disse 100 som blir senatorer fra hvert parti. Det er høyst usannsynlig, selv om det er mulig, for alle 100 kandidater til et bestemt parti å bli senatorer.
En påminnelse til: Tidlig avstemning og poststemming har allerede pågått de siste tre ukene, og personlig avstemning skal starte førstkommende mandag klokka 8 lokal tid. Innbyggere vil ha til neste mandag klokken 20 lokal tid til å avgi valg.
Og nå, en spesiell melding fra dronning Veia: "Denne hele uken er blitt erklært en nasjonal høytid. Vi her i regjeringen setter stor pris på innsatsen til våre medborgere, og det er viktig å få stemmen din hørt. Vennligst vær din demokratiske stemmerett for folket som du tror vil representere deg best i Senatet. Herfra i Dronningsby setter vi pris på dine stemmer, og vi håper at alle vil benytte seg av denne ukes muligheten til å avgi en avstemning for kandidatene. Takk for din tid."
Dette avslutter den offisielle Nasjonalfolkes Kringkasting-kunngjøringen.
This message continues to be broadcast in the rest of the National Languages of the North Sea Realm.
Ganixa releases this statement, "I applaud the North Sea Federation's system and hope that the holy state of Gandhistan can achieve such lengths in the near future."
The Council of Bishops releases this statement:
The state's corruption has reached an all time low it has not seen in years, we will continue to lower it even further as promised to the international community.
We would like to announce that voting has officially closed in all areas of the North Sea Realm, and votes are currently being tallied as we speak. The most interesting of these primaries certainly seems to be the Traditional Way Union primary, as the party is a fragile coalition ranging from liberal capitalists to open O'Haraists. Their party primary will determine the direction of the party in the years to come.
The work on the old Battleship, TWGV Holy Hammer, has been completed. The weapons dismantled and put into storage and replaced by lighter defensive weaponry.
The Council of Bishops releases this statement upon completion:
Hello citizens and leaders of the world! Today Gandhistan embarks on a venture to connect with it's old colonies and to reestablish contact with our only brothers of faith. We respectfully request access to the Suez as well as port access in the ports of the region known as Dijabouti for resupply before heading to Madagascar.
The Supreme Court Justice Fredrich Killam, has announced his retirement, to take effect within 72 hours. The Justice so to be reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75 has followed the precedent to step down before he hits such an age. The Supreme Court justice said in his statement to the Court, that he is proud of the work he and his fellow colleagues have done, and wishes them all well, and that their rulings may continue to be just. This also will open up for talks of who will replace him on the supreme court. Stay tuned for more information as it arrives
The Council of Bishops releases this statement regarding the diplomatic voyage to the old Colonies:
Due to delay from the Arabic Soviets, we are requesting permission to pass through the straight of Gibraltar and passing through the Cape of Good Hope controlled in part by 
Greater Eireann on our holy journey to the old colonies in Madagascar and eventually Thailand. We wish to restore the old religious bonds with our brethren and wish to spread the dying message of the previous Savior.
Permission is granted by the Northarian government, and the Atlantica Province is notified that West Gandhistani ships will be passing through shortly.
Protesters swarm the Atlantica Province, with RRA flags to protest the passage of the West Gahndistani ship passage, they also implore the government of the North Sea Realm to revoke the permission for the ships passage.
The Council of Bishops posts this notice:
My comrades in the North Sea, I am pleased to see your support in our quest to unite with out brothers in our endeavour to restore the great faith of Gandhiism.
We will set sail as soon as possible to Gibraltar, but due to the protests of some people, we are willing to allow observers to come and watch how we interact with our old colonies. We will allow any nation that does not have any direct terrorist link to come aboard the Holy Hammer to observe our actions if they are not to be trusted. Any of these observers can embark when we arrive in Gibraltar and continue on our way to the Cape of Good Hope.
Breaking News: The Executive Council of the Riskivilization Union has requested that the Royal Union Mounted Police start precursory investigations on a list of possible nominees to the vacant court seat.
"Textile Workers in the city of Taranto in the Kingdom of South Italy, have gone on a wild cat strike, The demands are a greater wage, healthcare, less hours, a lunch break, air conditioning in the factory, and the right to join a union without fear of being fired. The workers are calling on workers of all stripes, to join them on the strike, to demand better working conditions, to 'Grind this part of the United South Italy, the Kingdom of Southern Italy.' the striker continues 'We need a general strike to show the Kingdom's Parliament in Brindisi that we demand protections, That without us no wheel can turn. That we are not going to take it lieing down any more. We would also like to ask the Government of South Italy to pass the Protection to Bargen act that will make it illegal across the nation to fire a worker for being a part of a union.' When you look around here everyone has been incredibly polite, and while frustrated by the position they are in it is clear that they do not want to bring harm to any person."-Reporter in Tarnto
When we asked the Government of the Kingdom of Southern Italy for comment they a spokes person said "These ungrateful lazy rioters need to learn a thing or 2 about law and order, it is a crime in the Kingdom to strike without the explicit approval of a union. We would also like to state that we will handle this matter internally within the kingdom, we do not want or need help from the rest of South Italy, or from the international community. We will be shortly dispatching the Kingdom's Royal Police, in riot gear to assess the situation and put an end to the civil unrest."
The Northarian government applauds this move by the working peoples of the Kingdom of South Italy. Queen Veia sends her warmest regards to the strikers and pledges to support their cause on the international stage if necessary. We strongly condemn the government of the Kingdom of South Italy for their responsibility in creating such conditions in which a strike is even necessary, and we also strongly condemn the government for their handling of the situation. Instead of assaulting and murdering your own people, try making life better for them and they will not have to resort to such measures. The blame lies fully on the government of the Kingdom of South Italy for failing miserably to protect the working peoples of the nation, and on the greedy corporate bosses who take advantage of such a lack of protection and use it to prey on workers.
The Royal Maltese Navy would like to observe
The Council of Bishop sends this response to Malta:
We are glad some nations of the world are willing to observe us so we can show that we are going to obey the international codes and regulations set upon us.
"Welcome back to our ongoing on the scene reporting of the Strike in the City of Taranto, in the state of the Kingdom of Southern Italy. The state police have arrived here to the Strike dressed in all black riot gear, and pepper ball and tear gas guns pointed in the direction of the strikers, who have not made any movement to the Royal State Officers. though the mood is still tense." in the background the sound of screams erupts, "I have to make a correction they have started to launch tear gas at the Strikers, we go now to the statement from the Royal Kingdom Police. 'The rioters where violent and where preparing to loot the textile factory, our officers responded appropriately and with great restraint to stop the problem. We need the riot to end we need the illegal wildcat strike to end, Not working and looting has never gotten anyone anywhere you need to get back to work so we can have a talk about what needs to happen.' For more information as it happens stay tuned."
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the disgusting violence perpetrated upon the striking workers by the state police forces. We also petition the Unified South Italian government to step in before the Kingdom's government escalates this.
The Kingdom responds, "We take offense to this, for we did not start the violence, the Rioters and Looters started threatening the noble police, many with medals and awards, and they took the action they needed to to protect themselves and the textile factory, and other people. We Request the North Sea Realm also Condemn the rioters who started this issue."
In other news the Kingdom of South Italy is instituting a curfew on the city of Taranto of 9:30PM.
We also ask that the Government of the United States of South Italy, does not interfere with this state issue, and let us handle it internally
The Northarian government issues a single word response:
"No."
The Council of Bishops releases a statement on ththe current issue in the Kingdom:
Tensions are high on both sides here. The police officers on duty were most likely on edge due to the yelling of the protesters. The violence may have been warranted depending on the actions of the protestors which have yet to be confirmed by a bi-partisan source. Before this escalates further on a international scale we implore that foriegn nations watch closely to see how the Kingdom responds to the aftermath and what they do if the tear gas discharge was done on accident by a fearful police officer.
The Northarian government issues this in response:
"Our condemnation is rooted in the fact that the government of the Kingdom of South Italy has done very little over the course of its existence to improve the lives of the common people, leading to a time where such actions by the courageous strikers and protestors are inevitable, and even necessary for their very survival. It is shameful for such a failed government to then turn weapons of war upon the people it is supposed to serve, all at the behest of a few extraordinarily wealthy individuals who might lose some of their illicit means of income due to this strike. The protestors certainly would be ignored if any option other than a mass public strike and protest were chosen to be used, and this is exactly the goal of the Kingdom South Italian Police, to force this movement out of sight, where it may safely be ignored. As such, we the Northarian government, acting on behest of the people of the North Sea Realm, condemn the government of the Kingdom of South Italy, and our people stand in solidarity with the striking workers, and the working people of all of the Kingdom."
"Today we had mass arrests here, as was reported previously, there was a 9:30 PM curfew put out by the Kingdom for Taranto, today as the protest was coming to an end, at about 9:20 the Police Department where standing at the edges of the square, and in between the strikers and the large public parking garage, according to the Police it was to 'Protect the Public's cars from the dangerous Rioters and Looters.' in this it created a delay in the arrival to cars leaving a large number out of their car by curfew. The Police Departments of both Taranto, and the Kingdom, as the law said started to detain people for being out past the 9:30 cerfew. This lead to a battle, as the strikers started to resist what they are Deming an 'Unfair arrest' at the hands of the police. We are not sure what side did the first blow but it lead to an all out brawl at the parking garage. that lead to about 100 people being arrested, for resisting arrest and harming an officer. When asked for comment the organizer of the Strike said 'This is what they do when you ask for a little respect. They will do this to anyone who asks, Well I have this to say to the Kingdom, You can bruise my Pride, and Bust my face, scatter my rights all over the place, you can even take the bread from off my plate, but you cannot break me, and you will not break us. I ask for the workers of our Kingdom to go on strike, if we work together we can force change, and change the system.' We asked the Police captain from His Majesties Royal State Police for comment and he said 'We regret the actions that we where forced to do. We are tasked with keeping the people safe and upholding the law. The Curfew was put in place to keep the streets safe and keep crime from invading the peoples homes, If the Rioters where as peaceful as they would want you to believe they would not have resisted arrest, we gave them fair warning that 9:30 was coming, and they still stayed out late. They started to attack us, and we had no choice but to defend ourselves.' Stay tuned for more."
Statement from the Government of the State of the Republic of South Italy: We are deeply troubled and saddened by the behavior of our fellow state in the United States of South Italy, Their people are hurting, and they have risen up peacefully to only ask for the bare minimum, A living wage, Reasonable hours, The right not to be fired for being part of a union, And Air Conditioning, No reasonable person would see these as unreasonable requests, yet you turn a blind eye to the hurt, and instead you kettle them. Come up with reasons to attack them, We expect better from a state of South Italy.
Statement from the government of the State of the District of WeiHei: We would like to come out today in no uncertain terms that we in WeiHei condemn the actions being taken by our Fellow State. It is obvious that the people where being prevented from following curfew law. We ask the government of the Kingdom of Southern Italy to allow for Unions without the fear of being fired. We ask that they end the curfew, there has been now evidence that the strikers are violent when not pushed into a corner.
Statment from the State Government of the District of Naples: SHAME on the Kingdom of Southern Italy, They have forsaken their own people, they have forsaken the proletariat. Shame on the Kingdom for siding with the Rich, The Oppressors over the plight of their own people. The People who want nothing more than a fair shake and a way to eat. They turn weapons of war on their own people for wanting no more than to be treated with a modicum of respect, to be treated as a human. This is how the Owning class reacts when anyone tries to buck their system, They lash out because respect might cut into their bottom line. The current government of Kingdom of Southern Italy has shown it is not fit to rule, and must be voted out. We encurage every worker in the Kingdom of Southern Italy to join in the strike, for without you not a single wheel would turn, Bring the government and owning class to its knees, then with one voice demand the respect you are owed. Shame on the Kingdom, and Shame on anyone in the Federal Government who refuses to support, or allow a vote on the Right to Bargain Act.
Statement from the Government of the United States of Southern Italy: We Request that the State of the Kingdom of South Italy behave in a more civil manner, We do not in any way support the use of the police in the way that the state is using them in, or in the fact that they deliberately kept people from their cars, and we urge the government of the Kingdom of South Italy to reconsider their actions.
