:Mydic Chronicle:

Khaledian Challenge
Khaledonia has proved to be a challenge in the second term of Archon Galanis. First came its movement toward the Commonwealth, pawns of the Union. Then came a complicated string of economic engagements with Franconia, a close ally and partner of the Empire. Swiftly violence with cartels and the response hampered any hopes for a democratic shift in society. Already the drawbridge per se was being raised in the halls of Mydare. The Chancellery was to have none of this “Khaledian Challenge” as it was being referred to within the upper echelons of the Galanis Administration.

Even at the Imperial Palace in Stelio Cantis was said to be abuzz with gossip and talk about how the central administration was handling the Mydic response to the ongoing issue. Some members of the Imperial Household were said to have even alluded to a suggestion to the Conservative Coalition to oust Galanis though the official spokeswoman for the Palace, Helene Du Mar categorically denied that the palace and by extension members of the Household, having any plans or plots against the elected government.

Stress on the streets of the major cities could be felt as an atmosphere of tensions ramped up. The rise in conflict in Khaledonia brought about the specter of another war, one with the Union yet again and perhaps this time, the Empire would not fare so well given it was losing in the polls in the Egian Archipelago. As of the previous week, opinion polls taken by the Central Government of the Archipelgo suggested that the islands would be returned to the Union 60-40. The error margin sees a comfortable margin for the Return camp who are already running ads to make sure their people turn out to vote and not get lulled into apathy.

The Government however affirmed its support for Franconian calls for sanctions if the situation in Khaledonia worsened. The Government also issued a statement warning the Union against direct interference and that the ongoing strike in Khaledonia should not be taken advantage of.
