Zhongwei Dadao Government Press Release

Plague outbreak in Shizuizi

The Government of the Zhongwei Dadao has declared an outbreak of the Bubonic Plague in Shizuizi prefecture.

The Department of Human and Environmental Health (DHEH) has confirmed human-to-human transmission of the disease from an index patient to 3 other people, including 2 members of the household and 1 member from a workplace. The number of current patients stands at 4 people. The DHEH is currently in the process of tracing the index patient's co-workers for epidemiological study. The DHEH urges those showing symptoms of the disease, such as fever, fatigue, unconsciousness, enlarged lymph nodes, bodily pain, and watery diarrhea to report their symptoms to a hotline and await instructions.

Shizuizi prefecture currently hosts a population of over 730,400 people, and lies on the border zone with the Gobi Mongolic SSR of the Far Eastern Union of Soviet Republics. Prefectural authorities have suspended overland travel. Contact with the Ministry of Health of the FEUSSR has been established, with both sides pledging to monitor and dynamically respond to the situation.

The DHEH is taking the following steps to handle the incident:

• Increasing the number of rubbish bins in the prefecture to ensure proper management of household waste

• Inspecting granaries and warehouses for the presence of rodents

• Formulating plans and acquiring materials to construct temporary modular quarantine facilities if needed

• Stocking up to 50,000 plague vaccines

• Distributing deltamethrin for household disinfection to eliminate fleas

“I would like to make note that NATA has no “suspicious” relationship with the Eurasian government or its citizens. It is not as suspicious as our relationship with any other government that is not a member of NATA. Much like the UAN, NATA is dedicated to preservation and friendly relations with democratic countries, while also seeking to maintain a peaceful Europe.

To date, Kalmar nor its Allies have seen any troop movement by The Eurasian Government, and it doesn’t pose a threat. The threat we have seen is increased troop movements by the USSR, which have begun a directional movement towards Azerbaijan. These images show the increasing troop levels, and what is part of that general deployment towards the independent nation of Azerbaijan.

Not only does Eurasia have a threat to its sovereignty, but as does Azerbaijan. If Eurasia and Azerbaijan are threatened, who else? We have no immediate threats to Kalmar. Simply put, we have no fears of the “Red Menace.” But what we do fear is attempts at using diplomacy as a means to upend the right to self determination, of independent people to make their own choices.

These referendums that keep being referred to, I question the need to use such out dated formulations. Some people who voted in these referendums are no longer with us today. Why should this referendum so long ago guide us today? Why are we being lead down a path by this so called diplomatic representative of the USSR, when it is clear it’s a ruse to distract us from the truth. The truth being that the USSR fell out of power after having dominated the 20th Century. And now, it is an old dying empire clinging to its glory days.

UAN Representative Volin

"Honored delegates of the Assembly,

It's with great reservation that I witness the reckless devolution of this troublesome matter. We speak of the bloodshed following our ancestors failures to warn ourselves from an apocalypse, and yet the more we invoke this metaphor, the more we seem to be sliding back into it.

Despite the negligence of multiple parties to de-escalate, the resolution introduced will not lead to the desired outcome. If we exert such force over the internal affairs of a nation state, we set dangerous precedent in the future. Yes - we must always stand for peace, we must always be vigilant to guard the fragile peace our ancestors fought for. But we should not trade preemptive security for self-determination. Self-determination without security sets the stage for apocalyptic bloodshed, but security without self-determination sets the world sail for tyranny, and ultimately, that exact same bloodshed it so desperately tries to avoid.

It is essential in precisely these crises, that we make the correct call. For whether it's in this context or in any other, the Assembly rests on important foundational truths. Should we erode her foundation, we risk her life."

_{Topic: Meeting between President Vanderbilt and Ambassador Anastasia Nikitin}

Washington, DC —

Nikitin: Good evening, Your Excellency. To me it is a great honor to be invited to the Oval Office by the President of the United States. Myself and my staff are indeed wondering the purpose of this private meeting. To recap, the Kremlin is highly committed to continuing the strong friendship that exists between our nations.

Vanderbilt still had a slight smile before he motioned for the Soviet ambassador to take a seat. Following both of them being seated, he spoke

"Recent events are reluctantly forced the Union to change it's vote during the current UAN discussion to be neutral on the matter of Eurasia. This of course does not mean we are resetting relations. By no means, is that the case. Instead, the reason I asked you today is threefold: Guarantees of no attacks, offers of assistance on scientific and public matters and much much more. Military exchange programs, rights to place elements of the Soviet Baltic Fleet in Norfolk if you so wish so as to train more closely with the Union Navy and economic deals that would see either the lowering of tariffs between our nations or the complete removal of said tariffs. I'm certain the Kremlin would be pleased to hear such things."

Notice to interested nations

Ministry of Posts and Communications

The Ministry of Posts and Communications of the FEUSSR is interested in further pursuing collaboration on the NEEMO sea exporation platform. We believe the scientific and technological value produced by such a project will be beneficial to all stakeholders involved.

The MPC can provide $400 million USD in preliminary funding this current year, with that number increasing to $600 million USD next year and $1 billion USD the year after that. It is also able to dispatch a team of 25 engineers, technicians, and researchers to support this project, with the potential for launching a test prototype off the Ryukyu Islands Autonomous Region (where the sea floor is fairly deep).
