No Longer Slaves...
22nd November 2022 CE
Gonngman city

Shockwaves were felt throughout the nation today, following an ad hoc speech by His Eminence the Chancellor in Victory Square, Old Gonngman City.
His Eminence, declared all enslaves peoples within the territorial sovereignty of Gonngman City to be free; "We, being compelled by our Moral and Just understanding of the World, and in accordance with the laws of nature, having seen the wrongs done to our fellow man, and knowing them to be wrong yet unamendable, for the good of our Republic and all man-kind, hereby declare all enslaved persons within the borders of our Republic to be immediately freed. All enslaved persons are to be emancipated with immediate effect!"

Following the declaration all slave owners were given to the end of the day to free their former slaves and see them to the nearest government or law enforcement building. Not all were happy to comply, according to a government spokesperson at least 17 Slave owners were killed whilst resisting local security forces enforcing the Chancellors decision, whilst as many as 32 have been executed for intervening in the governments emancipation efforts.

Questions were also raised about the formerly enslaved, whether a system of segregation would be instituted or the formerly enslaved deported. However His Eminence had decided on a third option, the recently emancipated were given full citizenship. It quickly became clear today that the last few weeks of government mandated checkups on all slaves was actually an intelligence operation, all resistance to the Chancellors decree had been liquidated within hours of the announcement, all enslaved peoples were documented and installed as Gonngmantene Citizens. Within an hour of the announcement the Gonngmantene Parliament had issued new laws to counter discrimination against the formerly enslaved.

A formerly enslaved person, Mark Davis, had this to say: "I was standing outside the shop, watching TV through the Window, My Master was inside, a soccer game was on, then it was interrupted, an unexpected government announcement, when the Chancellor was done speaking and the soccer resumed, there was no one on the field anymore, I still had goosebumps, people started coming out of the shop, I realized I too could leave, I was free. My Master was looking at me as if I had burnt down the farm."

Andre Smiko, spokesperson for the emancipation group, Friends of Spartacus, said the following: "We are obviously delighted with the decision of our Government, but very surprised, we had no notion of this being in the works, until this afternoon it was business as usual, with the government ignoring us, yet now less that a few hours later, the very reason our organization was formed is gone, freedom throughout the country. We will still keep working, training programs, classes and so forth for our liberated brethren."

The Office of His Eminence the Chancellor has also made clear that the laws issued apply specifically withing Gonngmantene territory, Gonngmantene Citizens are still free to own slaves outside of Gonngman City, but the Government will take no steps to acquire compensation for them should any other Sovereign Nation decide to emancipate their enslaved persons. It has also been made clear that no compensation will be issued to any former slave owners, and all enslaved persons from this point forward whom set foot within Gonngmantene territory are immediately freed. This also applies to airplanes crossing Gonngmantene airspace, and to naval vessels in Gonngmantene waters. Following the model of the previous case for compensation to Gonngmantene citizens following the abolition of slavery in the Kingdom of Dou Boux subjects of HM King Charles V, and his lawfull heirs and successors, may appeal to the Supreme Court of the Republic for compensation on an individual basis.

For Tonight Martial Law has been declared, Government forces are still enforcing the new mandate, the formerly enslaved will all be processed in the next few days, and issued identification.

Official Release from Winslet Castle

1. The Recon Empire applauds Gonngman city government for its policy in slavery emancipation. As a longstanding friend of the Recon Empire, it is vital to approach these universal human rights issues with firm policy.

2. As the Gonngman City has expected, the Recon Empire will pursue compensation for Reconian citizens in Gonngman City affected by the emancipation in accordance to international precedence set forth in the groundbreaking Santa Handro Accord, established as a result of Recon, Gonngman and Others v. Dou Boux (2015). Gonngman City was a joint-plaintiff with the Recon Empire in the lawsuit back then and thus we believe share similar values in equitable compensation of citizens' private properties.

3. As of today, there are 358 citizens in Gonngman city with a combined estimated damages of R$61 million as a result of the emancipation. Thus, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has appointed Advocate Orwell Weston, JD, QC, CSP as lead counsel to appeal on behalf of these Reconian citizens. Advocate Weston had been one of the senior counsels during the Santa Handro case.

1. The Chancellery of the Most Serene Republic, being well aware of the outcome of the Santa Handro Accord, and the outcome of the Recon, Gonngman and Others v. Dou Boux case, has, given that the agreement of compensation existed between the Most Serene Republic of Gonngman city and the Kingdom of Dou Boux decided that subjects of HM King Charles V shall be eligible for compensation in like manner, however since the compensating nation was not The Crown Kingdoms of The recon empire the Government of the Crown Kingdoms of The recon empire or their legal representatives shall have to seek personal compensation, either as the unfair requisition of goods or as the unlawful requisition of goods, furthermore each formerly enslaved person has to be individually accounted for, thus each constitutes a separate case.
The Chancellery further advises any and all 'claimants' that all cases in which the claimant is found to have sexually assaulted, abused, coerced or engaged in any other activities seen as Sexual misconduct by the Most Serene Republic of Gonngman city to return to The Crown Kingdoms of The recon empire, under Gonngmantene Law, the punishment for sexual misconduct is death, since Sexual Misconduct seen as a very serious crime, extradition is not possible. The Supreme Court shall allow each former enslaved person to counter claim be it for physical, emotional or other damages incurred and for unpaid labor. In order to address The Crown Kingdoms of The recon empire and their representative Advocate Orwell Weston, JD, QD, CSP the Chancellery has today formed The Slavery Compensation Tribunal and appointed Marcus Flaccus Amielius, Rahza Mohendi Khan and Lev Isaakovich Abramov as Tribunes.

Wolves at the door...
1st Desember 2022 CE
Gonngman city

With the national declaration of emancipation barely older than a week those blood seeking lunatics whom used to wear the title of "Master" have come baying at out doorstep. Hidden behind the veil of diplomacy these Wolves are at our door demanding blood money for those they had cruelly enslaved, stripped of all basic humanity, now the truth is revealed who is the human and whom is a simple base animal. The only fortunate occurrence being that two of our brothers drew the lots to judge in the Tribunal. Our Brothers know the price we have paid, we have but to trust in their sound judgement to account for each of us whom were reduced to mere chattel for the 358 Reconnian Leeches, we have bled enough! I urge ever one of you, each for whom the chain has broken to join us in protest at the Supreme Court on the first day of Trial. Tomorrow we march on the Embassy of the Leeches, let our voices be heard!

Trouble under calm waters
1st Desember 2022 CE

As the Chancellery ceased Martial Law this morning at 04h00, the situation in the nation is slow to return to normal, especially following the announcement by The recon empire that they shall seek compensation for the release of formerly enslaved persons. We have learned from publications by The Slave's Voice that they are already planning a mass protest outside the Recon Embassy and The Supreme Court then the court proceedings begin. For those of us not planning a protest the good news is that we can return to normal, and look forward to the festive seasons, with schools closing on the 15th of Desember.

We wish you all a festive cheer.
Our countdown to Winter day is 21 days to go!

Dou Boux Annexes Triste, Santania, and Carcavers, Establishes East Recon Islands as an Associated State

By Elizabeth Montague, Political Correspondent

In a surprising move that has left the international community both intrigued and cautious, Dou Boux has officially annexed the islands of Triste, Santania, and Carcavers, along with approximately fifty outlying islands in the region. The announcement was made by Sir Ferdinand Montrose in a grand ceremony held at the Dou Bouxian Royal Palace. This development marks a significant shift in the geopolitics of the East Recon Islands, previously administered by various local authorities.

The newly-formed entity, comprising the annexed territories and outlying islands, will be designated as an "associated state," a concept that has raised eyebrows across the diplomatic spectrum. An associated state is a unique political arrangement in which a sovereign nation, in this case, the Kingdom of Dou Boux, extends a degree of autonomy to a subnational region while maintaining significant control over its affairs.

The decision to establish the East Recon Islands as an associated state has sparked discussions worldwide about the potential implications for regional stability, economic growth, and the residents of these picturesque islands. This move provides the Kingdom of Dou Boux with an opportunity to exert its influence in the region and expand its sphere of influence.

Thomas Astley-Cooper, a seasoned diplomat with a distinguished track record in managing complex international relations, has been appointed as the High Commissioner to the Islands. As the newly appointed High Commissioner, Astley-Cooper is expected to play a pivotal role in facilitating the transition and overseeing the governance of the East Recon Islands. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role, having previously served in various high-profile diplomatic positions.

The announcement of this annexation and the establishment of an associated state has not been without controversy. Local leaders and international observers are closely monitoring the situation to ensure that the rights and interests of the islanders are protected, and that the transition is managed smoothly. Dou Boux has assured that the residents of the East Recon Islands will have a say in their own governance and the opportunity to actively participate in the political process.

This significant geopolitical development is sure to dominate discussions on the international stage in the coming weeks. Questions surrounding the implications of this new associated state and its potential impact on the broader region remain to be answered. As we watch events unfold in the East Recon Islands, one thing is certain: the world will be keeping a close eye on this intriguing and unprecedented political experiment.
