Shouts and sirens sounded as the cruisers continued the elaborate dance that weaved between the cruiser-carriers and thier escorts, the boarding operation was in full swing before the torpedos slammed into the side of the Novoroyskian cruiser-carrier, the chaos followed as lines were cut and more impacts rippled through the scattered fleet.
The Maries acted as the word came down, the strategy was a simple one, messy in execution, they put the Novoroskian fleet between themselves and the attack, to let the boarders quickly abandon their positions, most able to land back onboard the cruiser before the Kutztov-class began to list dramatically...
"We're being shot at by crazy people!"
The impacts rippled through Jezabel and Novoroskian ship alike, the Marina fleet defenders fired scattershots of noisemakers to distract from the flagship, the burning Maries quickly turned as best they could and pushed their engines to the brink to escape the now in flame naval battlefield.
Battered and bruised the battlegroup retreated as the remaining Kutztov carriers, now sans escort and wounded by torpedos, were left at the mercy of the Atlas fleet and the approaching Irene battlecruiser.

(Internal) Gertbland Gazette #1 | Dastardly Drought Dries Up Our Farms
After nearly a month of little to no rain on the vast plains of the Seltian Province, meteorologists and climate experts are saying that we can experience a small drought that will effect local farmers and water reserves. In a statement made Monday, the Governor Brian Andrews had reassured the populace of "a safe a quick recovery with the help of Northern Seltian local governments, and neighboring provincial governments." Regular rain schedules are expected to return at most by next month, but until then the provincial council has affirmed the support of rationing water for publicly-owned properties including parks, train stations, and government offices.
This month has been the driest month on record for two of the five provinces in nearly ten years. However, officials have not let these changes go unanswered as Provincial Councils and Governors are working with the Ministry of Public Welfare and the Department of Infrastructure to plan the construction of some of the largest and most complex water reserves in the nation. The Governor's Office has recently come out with a four year plan that guarantees the completion of the reserves and expected to cost 5 million forints.

Underground complex, Aliera, Jezabelstien; 0.0_2.1;21:00;24/09/2021
The repeated screams of sirens flood the compact red-lighted hallway as facility workers in hazmat suits rushed to the metal-shelled egg contraption. The temperature of the reactor room continues to rise as emergency coolants are being injected into the overheating core. Just when the workers thought the situation had been stabilized, the built-up gas from the outer core created a bulge before the coolants tube was ejected explosively. A stream of high-pressure plasma shoots into the wall of the room and continues melting and piercing through walls. The workers began to run away from the complex as the ultra-heavy duty lines began to melt. After running out of options, the superior figure finally gives an order to evacuate the facility. Water began to flood the lower section of the reactor room when the plastic pipes in the nearby hallway melted, then the water started to evaporate when lockdown measures were issued. Before the foams could flood the room, the water managed to make contact with both ends of the broken rely on lines. A facility-wide blackout followed in the next moment, causing chaos for the evacuation. Not giving anyone a chance to react, the exotic capacitors overloads and caught on fire just before the last of the metal shell of the Oracle reactor was melted down. It was growing brighter and brighter, eventually engulfing the facility in white...
Aliera, Jezabelstien; 0.0_2.1;21:30;24/09/2021
A stream of white light was fired directly into space, damaging Irene’s Light as a burst of radiation expanded from Aliera, disrupting all communication and frying electronics throughout the nation. Following the disappearance of the light stream, the radio disruption anomaly still has yet to vanish. The situation of the walled cities of Jezabelstien is not known as a rainstorm covers the jungles from satellites images.
Coast of Kuzikstan; 0.0_2.1;21:40;24/09/2021
Stunned by the streaming light seen by the world, the fighting stopped. The Jezabelstienian forces retreated from the Kuzikstan without a word as the Pincoya quickly dove and returned to the depths of the ocean.
Aftermath
The current state of Jezabelstien remains unknown due to the lack of communication, hostile wildlife, and radio jamming within the area. All airlines are encouraged to fly above 7600m when entering Jezabelstienian airspace to avoid being victim to electronic malfunction. The captured Valassarian ship Fury remained to be silent as the neighboring asteroid Tiamat fortress watches closely. No government of the world has yet to open up the details regarding the sudden collapse of the Jezabelstienian infrastructure and government. The power vacuum has left Utopia on an uncertain path and has opened up a new era.

The Empress
”All hail Her Radiant Imperial Majesty, Empress Taihe, Undisputed Sovereign of Feng, Fount of Noble Graces, Wielder of the Four Treasures, Lady Mistress of the Yongan Palace, Lady Paramount of the Imperial House!”
The herald’s cloying voice was lilting, singing in the still air. The gilt wooden doors of the Baolian Hall’s reception chamber opened to admit the procession, allowing a sprinkle of sparkling snowflakes to wander in. They were all robed, luxurious fabrics trailing the floor. First entered a procession of servants, holding jewelled ornaments, then a court of fan-wielding ladies and lords who eyed the group in curious interest. Last came the Empress, joined by the entourage of 
North Electrica.
The Empress had changed out of her ceremonial clothes for a more comfortable set of robes. It was rustic orange, embroidered in gold, red, and blue flowers, trailing the floor two feet long. Her hair had none of the large combs, headdresses, or fake hair pieces to make it look larger, and instead was tied into an elaborate bun.
“Apologies to the rulers of the Twins in the North for the wait… one was welcoming the North Electrican entourage. They come to discuss Jezabelstein, and doubtless it would be fitting for them to join us…..”
The Empress smiled and waited as they exchanged their greetings, before waving her fan.
“Do be seated, no doubt that you all are most famished… one has prepared a charming meal perfect for the icy weather. If you would follow….”
They were led into a large hall, it’s high ceiling hung with lotus-shaped lanterns. The screen doors were opened to allow a view of the frozen lake, also allowing soft snowflakes to drift in like stars. The walls were painted red and decorated with gold, hung with painted scrolls and fans depicting soft lotuses on the tranquil water. Jewelled lamps, turquoise censers, and golden ornaments were placed on the ground. On the table was a brocade runner, jade tea set, and plates and cutlery of solid gold.
The rest of the court filed after them, luxurious robes trailing the ground.
“Food shall arrive in due time, the kitchen is preparing it in all due haste. Meanwhile….”
The Empress motioned with her fan, a servant pacing over and picking up the jade teapot.
“May I interest you all in a cup of chrysanthemum tea?”
-A NEW ERA-
The news of the end of the war and the utter destruction of the Jezbel superpower is celebrated by most of the government. Fide makes a speech about the importance of helping all nations against totalitarian and reactionary states of all kinds. On the inside of the government building, Fide calls on members of the military towards a meeting.
"It is clear that now with the recent destruction of Jezbel, there is not only a power vacuum, but the biggest threat to us is now gone as well." Says Lord President Fide Thomas Rush.
"Shall we recall troops and stop general mobilization sir?" Asks Grand General Nicholas Vladimir.
"... No, just because Jezbel is gone does not mean we still have enemies. There is just 1 more threat for us to... resolve... before we can claim ourselves a sole superpower." Says Fide.
"And what would that be sir?" Asks one of the military advisors.
"... 
The Atlas Archipelago... as long as Atlas is there threatening us with constant destruction, we cannot be a power like Grenopia or United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor." Clarifies Fide.
"And how do you think we can answer the Atlas problem sir?" Asks a navy advisor.
"... how is our fleet?" Inquires Fide.
"It is going good. Production has increased ten-fold but it's still not enough to actively pose any serious threat." Says Augustus Constantine Sasysama.
"... give incentives to join the Navy and increase production of ships by ten-fold. We need at least 20 thousand sailors by the end of the following month. By the way, how are our army and air force numbers?" Orders Fide.
"The army now has 608 thousand active duty soldiers and 175 thousand as reserves." Says Nicholas Vladimir.
"We now have 24 thousand pilots and are total aircraft is increasing almost double." Answers Elizabeth de la Rosario.
"Increase it by tri-fold. I also want a quarter of all of our frigates ready to deploy into the Red Bay, where Vander is. I also want all submarines be armed and ready as well. Jezbel might be gone but Atlas is still a threat. Oh, also begin construction on an Iron Dome around Omni City as well as our own long-range missiles." Demands Fide.
"All of that should be done by the end of the 8th month sir. The deployment of the frigates and submarines should be done in 2 weeks." Says Nicholas Vladimir.
"Make it 6 months. Dismissed." Says Fide as the meeting officially ends.
-END OF MEETING-
Scheduled Conference with the Head of State | Briefing Room in the State Building, Pont
The stately tan, stone building stood proud, its turrets jutted from the sides capped with brass colored onion domes glistening as the sun beamed on them. The walls of the buildings featured large windows with decorations carved around them whilst the entrance was fortified with columns supporting the protruding A-frame above. Upon the mansard roof of the building was a large turret where another brass dome stood, however the flag of the republic that capped it waved in the wind. As the gates to the almost cathedral-like palace were opened, several black cars drove on the brick road and around the beautiful gardens surrounding the building and parked directly in front of the entrance.
All high ranking members of the Ministry of Diplomacy and Ministry of Transportation have been collected into the wide, wooden office. As they pass around documents, the Head of State along with a line of staffers enters the room.
"I call this meeting on the State of Jezebelstein into order." announced Head of State Albert Svabó after sitting at the head of the table.
"Sir, as of now, the country of Jezebelstein has fallen into a state of darkness and we fear for the safety of flights and seafaring vessels on route to Jezebelstein." stated the Minister of Diplomacy.
"We cannot say for certain when this lack of communication will end and if it the effects of it can intrude on vessels from our ports." added a ministry staffer.
"This does bring us an opportunity however. Jezebelstein was one of the most powerful country's on our continent, perhaps another nation with similar institutions as ours will take its place." said the Head of State
"In the meantime, we will alert all private airlines in Middle Gertbland that are scheduled to travel to Jezabelstein are to be grounded and flights passing through their airspace should remain above the 7600 meter barrier. Cargo and cruise ships are to also be alerted of the possible danger and vessels of the Merchant Marine are to remain outside of Jezebelstein's territorial waters. We can lift these restrictions by the second of October. I would like these orders to be ratified and sent immediately."
The Head of State walked out followed by his staff and the ministers.

The Thanedom Marines landing ships came to a stop on the yellow sand, squads of soldiers coming free, FY-45’s at the ready as they immediately set up a perimeter. Zeta squad moved from their own landing craft, Crocodile looking around their surroundings. “I did not miss this place. Let’s get those tanks in and move forward.” As he spoke, several Floyd-3 Ravagers and Dozers came from the back of the landing ships, driving up and lining up to head in.”Listen up!” Crocodile spoke up once more, pointing to the forest. “The Cherns won’t be here till we can establish a beachhead. So half of you are staying to keep this beach in our control. Alpha Company, that's you lot. Bravo company, with me. Let's take this place over. For Ragnar!” A loud war cry was sounded, as the tankette armored column moved into the thick forest. Alpha company setting up a perimeter.
As the men moved into the forest, guns were trained ahead and to the sides. Marksmen had their bows at the ready, explosive arrows ready for the likely very angry jeza soldiers. Zeta squad moved among them, a member of the squad was placed throughout the column, saving cohesion. Crocodile himself sat on the top of one of the ravagers, his RHC held lazily as he kept his eyes open for enemies.

Christopher Stargazer took some extra time to be seated in one of the chairs as the boy with him helped him into the Fengese chair, once that was done the boy would hesitantly sit down next to Stargazer, a bit awkward in the situation but would sit down nonetheless. The older man would look over at the younger one before looking over towards the Miota-Candor representatives, he studied them from his part of the table as he would get a message in his earpiece.
NE Soldier: "Head Councilor, security personnel has been set up all around the city and near the Palace, were ready to move in at a moments notice in case anything goes wrong."
Stargazer would give a soft grunt in acknowledgement as he would glance back at the guard he had with him, but as he was focused on his message he would receive a small nudge.
Boy: "Father." He says quietly to get his attention, which worked as he turned to his son. "The Empress is speaking." The Head Councilor nods and would rejoin the current conversation just in time to hear the tea request, in which he would give her a soft smile and raise his hand.
HC S. Stargazer: "I have heard much about your nations tea from some of the people working at the Silver Tower back in my country, I would like to try some myself."

Gertbland Gazzette #2 | Lethargic Locomotive's Reappearance Rouse Railway Lovers
On the vast rails that connect the nation together, it is no surprise that there are a plethora of trains of all types; from cargo-haulers to the average passenger locomotive, there are sure to be some that stick out. None of them stand out more than the steam and steal giant, the Class 500 Armored Train. Since its creation in 1938 until its retirement in 1965, the train has been used in a multitude of ways: a mobile command center, troop transportation, and even as an emergency shelter and transport for the most important government officials. It is no surprise why it was used for so many roles, however. The batteries on the train alone could take on some of the most heavily armored tanks of the era and defend from relentless aircraft above. Military historians and train enthusiasts would flock to the tank-on-tracks whenever it made its anniversary debut in the capital's central station.
Unfortunately, after five decades of running the parade, the corroded material and aging interior could not support its own, and the train eventually fell into disrepair and was left to be showcased in the National Railway Museum in Parfi. That was until this Monday, when the trains firebox was re-kindled and the pistons of the beast brought it back all the way to Pont Central Station for its anniversary tour. After a decade of refurbishing, the Ministry of Natural and Cultural Reserves along with the National Railway Museum had been able to get the old wheeled fortress back on the tracks to continue the train's anniversary tradition for current generations to see.

Reporter: Good morning, day, evening, or night for everyone watching this. I'm Zelea Jisneq, this is PleikeNews.
The country of Jezabelstien has fallen into chaos. What is going on in the country remains unknown due to the lack of communication, hostile wildlife, and radio jamming within the area. All airlines are encouraged to fly above 7600m when entering Jezabelstienian airspace to avoid being victim to electronic malfunction. After these series of events that has caused worldwide confusion, it's good to say that the war between United Kuzikstan and Jezabelstien has ended in a stalemate. The Jezabelstenian aircraft and naval vessels have returned their country as well as the navies of Kuzikstanian allies. We will inform Jezabelstien as soon as we get more information about the case. The Kuzikstani government celebrated this moment as a victory and held a massive military parade despite there wasn't really any winner in this war. All the states of Kuzikstan have stopped the mobilization of the quick response units, also known as the Patriotic Guard. The mobilization was ceased instantly after the news from Jezabelstien was heard.
Next up we have some news related to sports. The Villozene Cup is about to begin. This year 26 teams from the Kyrzis Onin Elite and II are going to participate in this massive tournament. This year's tournament is hosted by Pleik LLC., and the finals will be played in PleikeStel Arena, Jhoelcen. 20 teams will go through qualifiers, while 6 randomly picked teams will automatically qualify to the Round of 16. The auto-qualified teams are Kuzikstania Tigers, New Kuzikstani City, Krysznas Kuzikstania, Port Jeff Grasshoppers, Aernaeb Wild and Zijaqle Thunder. Kuzikstania Tigers will face either Kjarlemad City Komets or Yurqumandesaqur Red Foxes. New Kuzikstania City will travel either to Wyla or Bunqasde, depending on if the Vikings or White stars win the qualifiers. Krysznas Kuzikstania will get a new visitor from either Zameszky or Yutraq. The Blue Bridge Blues and Yutraq Blazers both have never made it to the top series, and neither have ever played against Krysznas, so this will be a first time for one of them. Port Jeff Grasshoppers will play either against Jhoelcen Pelicans or Dynamo Zoekren. Aernaeb will get either Kjarlemad City VBC or Retqer Patriots as their visitor. Zijaqle Thunder will either play against Jhoelcen Mariners or Zjaelmar Speeders in their home arena.
There are yet 4 completely empty spots for the round of 16. Kaszniv Lentiz and PoqVBC will face each other in the qualifiers in order to see which one gets one spot. The winner will play either against Madia Orangers or Jhoelcen Storm, depending on the results. Hyrdy Blitz and Qualres Traktor will be the 3rd pair, and one of them will face either Saz Sazmonsters or Narten Falcons. Villozene Cup is an annual volleyball tournament in which all the teams in the 2 highest Kyrzis Onin leagues can participate. The Villozene Cup is held either by a single cup or a company, and all the games will be played in the chosen city. The winner of the Villozene Cup will receive the Villozene Cup and 2 billion TUs.
Next up, we got some more news from the foreign countries. Middle Gertbland is planning to construct one of the largest water reserves in their nation. Their Governor's Office has recently come out with a four-year plan that guarantees the completion of the reserves, which are expected to cost 30 million forints. The reason behind these plans is the large drought seasons experienced in Seltian Province, which are told to be the worst drought season in 10 years.
Our last piece of news is from the city of Zameszky, Quiners. The Blue Bridge Blues-volleyball club has begun constructing a brand new stadium south of the nationally-known "Blue Bridge", that will eventually replace the old stadium. The stadium will get a more modernized look and will be painted in the colors of the club, which are white and blue. The Blue Bridge Blues was bought by the Pleike LLC. 2 years ago and has ever since made its way towards the top leagues for the first time since the Quiners-Qyzlirian Wars, which happened between the 70s and 80s due to a fight between "Blue Bridge Blue" and "New Kuzikstania City"- volleyball clubs.
This is all the news we have. Have a nice morning, day, evening or night. We'll see you next time.
The news end here.

The Order
The fleets would dock once again, and the waters would become stagnant now as the only vessels which roamed were the coastal corvettes and the sly submarines which waited for a devious soul to pass unannounced and unwanted. The military departments had begun to cool and now their weapons were focused elsewhere, new enemies and old ones had slowly been showing themselves. To the far south, the Meridian Commonwealth was intent on establishing a perfect world in their image, a world without corruption and divine in their dominance. To their northeast, the Anderian state had become a thorn since the early days and while we suspected that the Feng would get them under a leash when they overtook them under the title of Vassal, this was wrong. They used the guise of the war in Kuzikstan as a reason to begin their rearmament and they declared they were no longer a vassal as their new head of state came in. It was obvious something had to be said to the people who were in control, the people could take action or otherwise authorize The Order to take action…
From the desk of Heindrich Kaja, Minister of Foreign Indignation
To the Imperial Court of Feng Dynasty
It is with high regard that we, most favorable affiliates of the Feng, must take this matter to the Imperial Court most urgently. Obviously with Feng’s relations to the World Union as well as the Free Trade Federation and the most important Silk Road, you must realize the severity of the situation with the Meridian Commonwealth. We at The Order take these matters seriously, and it is with the utmost respect that we say that we wish to disregard Astana-Anders entirely and would rather take the matter up with you, the masters and overlords. While we understand that your internal affairs that relate to the Anderians are out of our influence, but we as loyal interests look to assist you as much as possible to squash the Anderian fire and establish a sphere of dominance and loyalty among. Not for us of course, but for you. While all could be said through letter, we would be most pleased if you would accept an envoy to the Dynasty when available to discuss this most important matter with the highest of your council. We also believe that bringing our relationship closer may destress the tension which may have been caused by our near intervention in Kuzikstan. While we have made an immediate decision as of yet, we have had our eye on the World Union Security Council and the Silk Road for some time. Closing the gap between us and clearing all tension we may hold with North Electrica, the United Kingdom, and any other state involved in both pacts would be most favorable for us.
With Respect, Heindrich Kaja

-THE RED FLEET BEGINS-
An admiral stands on the deck of Vander's military ports. His white uniform along with a red trench coat gives off a feeling of authority. The purple, white, and blue colours of the Astanan banner fly on top of a silver flag pole. He smiles, it has been a long time since he used his personnel flagship, the A.D.S. (Anderian Destroyer Ship) The Grievance.
"Sir, the shipped is fueled, loaded, and ready to head off." Says an Ensign. "Good. Let's go." Says the admiral before walking on to the battleship.
As soon as The Grievance left the port, 9 frigates followed suit. They left Red Bay after 5 hours and finally left national waters. They then stopped when they were 560 meters from national waters. They are not leaving that far. They have orders to stay there. They are not going out for war, they are waiting for the moment The Atlas Archipelago.
-THE OFFICE OF LORD PRESIDENT-
"Are you in position Admiral Trench? Yes? Good, wait there. When fuel gets low, contact a fueling ship immediately. Good day." Said Fide Thomas Rush over the phone with the Admiral.
"Sir, we have news from Atlas." Said a messenger entering the room.
"What is it? Are they starting to mobilize? Are they declaring war?" Asks Fide with some level or angry paranoia in his tone.
"They are beginning to get worried over our rearmament program. They are also asking to the Feng to rein us in." Explains the messenger to which Fide does a small scowl.
"Send a telegram to the Meridian commonwealth. Ask them if they wish to enter into an alliance with us against Atlas. We both share a common enemy and common ideology. Why not combine our forces to help?" Orders Fide before the messenger rushes off.
TELEGRAM TO DIRECTOR NARI PARK OF THE MERIDAN COMMONWEALTH:
The nation of the Federal Socialist Republic of 
Astana-Anders wishes to ask the Transhuman Nation of the Meridian commonwealth for their permission on an alliance of all sectors but mostly militaristic for increasing tensions with foreign nations such as Atlas.
If you are to agree, then we shall send an ambassador along with a check for 40 billion Lien to purchase military equipment from you.

-END OF TELEGRAM-
A young man walks slowly through the sleepy town of Aaken. The deep red sky sits on the horizon as the masts of ships bob in and out of view. He passes by windows that pave the dark cobble street with a soft yellow glow. As the breeze carries the salt and chill of the ocean into town he hastens his pace, remembering he has promised the old man to be earlier today. Thoughts race through his head about what he can say to the old man, maybe he overslept or ran into a friend from Kirchenstaudt, maybe his father called to ramble incoherently about the nurses. The young man reaches the dock and realizes his worries are misplaced, as the old man has yet to even start loading the *Sunbeam*.
Before he walks to the small motorboat the young man tugs on his sweater and straightens his sandy brown hair. He walks towards the boat. The shouting seagulls and crashing waves overwhelm the noise of his steps and allow him to sneak onto the boat without the old man noticing. The young man walks in the cabin, down the stairs, and slips into his rubber equipment before returning to the dock. The old man sits on a wooden crate at the end of the dock, his back is hunched and he faces the sea. He turns around as the young man approaches and his tan face forms a gleeful smile.
“Glad to see you made it on time!” The old man lets out with a deep, heavy voice, thick with the roughness of a sailor. He stands up from the crate and throws his long blue coat onto the boat. “Well you aren’t going to ignore me forever now, are you? Get these nets on the boat.”
The young man nods and begins to pick up the crates. Nets, food, radio equipment, medicine, after half an hour all of the boxes are stacked in the hull of the *Sunbeam*. He sets a box of floatation devices down along the wall of the dim hull and wipes the sweat from his forehead. As he walks up the stairs the elder man enters the cabin. “Didn’t take you too long, that's my boy!” The old man pauses to let the younger respond, the younger man doesn't speak. He continues, “Too tired to talk now eh? I getcha, get some rest as we sail and I’ll wake you when I need you to set up shop.” The elder man puts on his coat and heads towards the wheel at the front of the cabin. He begins to hum songs of the sea as the young man heads out to the deck.
The deck is the younger man's favorite part of the ship. Here he gets a clearer view of the stars while the tugboat pushes through the ocean waves. He lies on the wet floor while the engine starts, as the boat crawls to life the stars start to pass slowly in the sky. The man drifts to sleep as the engine starts to roar louder than the old man’s humming.
The young man wakes to the wrinkled face and white beard of the old man. “Wake up son! We gotta lay the nets before the sun rises.” His face and voice are filled with glee and he stands up and faces the sea in a stoic pose like the cover of an old Svalbardian book. The young man rises behind him and rubs his eyes as the sky brightens slowly. Gone is the dim light of the coast behind them, now the duo was surrounded by a small blanket of mist and the infinite blue sea. The elder walks on the bridge and connects the net to hooks along its side. His coat drags along the wooden floor while the *Sunbeam* bobs with the ocean waves. With the nets set up and the pair ready in their gear the pair is ready for the next few days of fishing. The sun rises in the horizon, a small white ghost made hazy through the fog.

A finely decorated scroll arrives in Atlas. It was backed with rich brocade, red, blue, and green silk embroidered with gold thread. The letters inside are smooth and finely calligraphied.
To the Atlas Archipelago
With highest epitome of grace and honour,
Her Imperial Grace receives your words most graciously, and gives thanks. Most glad are the Feng to be seen in such high regard, and the doors of the Silk Road and other organisations of Atlan interest remains open, and the offer for the Astana situation shall be considered with care. However, many a thing ought to be smoothed over, especially the rougher edges that require talking to smooth. And so, the Dynasty shall receive the Atlan delegation in gracious welcome.
Doubtless there is great potential to solve the Anderian issue, and to bring Atlas closer to Feng, Miotia-Candor, North Electrica, and the other gracious states.
Taijing awaits eagerly for Atlan arrival.
In utmost regard,
Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Taihe, Undisputed Sovereign of Feng, Fount of Noble Graces, Wielder of the Four Treasures, Lady Mistress of the Yongan Palace, Lady Paramount of the Imperial House.

The qualifiers of the Villozene Cup have come to an end. So far, everything has gone according to normal, and the II-teams have been beaten by the Elite-teams. However, the II-teams did show up that they are nowhere near easy to beat up, and have a chance to face the Elite-teams too. || Kjarlemad City Komets had some serious problems in yesterday's game after winning Yurqumandesaqur Red Foxes by 2-1. The first set went surprisingly to the Red Foxes by 25-22, but on the 2nd set, Komets managed to get a grip, and won the set by 25-21. The extra set went for Kjarlemad City quite easily, by 15-10. || Kaszniv Lentiz had only minor problems in beating PoqVBC, defeating them 2-0. The first set ended up 25-20 and the second 25-19. || Madia Orangers, who got relegated from Elite last season, beat the Jhoelcen Storm despite the spunky opponent giving them hard time. The first set went according to plan, Orangers winning it by 25-21, but Jhoelcen Storm was nowhere near giving up, making it real hard for Orangers players. In the end, Madia Orangers won the 2nd set by 28-26, and managed to beat Jhoelcen Storm by 2-0. || Hyrdy Blitz also had a quite hard time against Qualres Traktor. Despite winning them by 2-0, Qualres Traktor managed to keep the game tight. The first set ended 25-23 and the second 28-26. || Saz Sazmonsters got a tight win this morning from Narten Falcons, beating them by 2-1. Narten Falcons, which are often seen as underdog even in the Kyrzis Onin II, proofed everyone wrong by winning a set against Sazmonsters.

-PREPERATION FOR THE STORM-
A light rain showers Omni City for an hour now. Fide is looking at the newest military report of the week. He ordered the creation of both EMPs and a cyberwarfare department. It'll take 8 months before either are fully operational.
He knows war with The Atlas Archipelago now will prove fruitless. He turns his head towards the dark sky. Maybe... an official alliance is an order.
He telephones his main ambassador, Prussia Werdin. He tells him to telegram Grenopia, he wants to join the World Union.
(OOC: Also United Kingdom of Miotia-Candor, can I get the factbook for it since Nordic Democratic Republic is deceased so I can't access it)
