Imperial Chemical Institute Announces Research Into Rocket Fuels; Imperial Aeronautics Bureau Reestablished



Early this morning the Imperial Chemical Institute announced that was now looking into the development of launch vehicle propellants following the reestablishment of the Imperial Aeronatics Bureau. Many Dragonaii will remember the failed attempts to achieve spaceflight back in 1974 during the Phoenix Era. Back then, of course,  our own launch sites were delayed by lack of funding and interest. However, the Imperial Engineers have already begun reconstruction of the National Aerospace Facility in the Gan’Xi Mountains, while the support facilities are being refurbished to fit the current technology of the era.

This new effort was the cause of SANE announcing a joint space program with the possible cooperation of Ui Cenneslaig. The general reaction to the news of SANE’s founding and the renewed space program has been viewed with enthusiasm by the public, many of whom, especially of the older generations, view the space program with nostalgia and excitement.

“This is great!” said 51-year old miner Jie-Ruhua. “After so many years, the government finally spends money on something interesting besides [Expletive]ing tunnels! Maybe I’ll live to see a Dragonaii on another planet!”

In the newly reestablished Aeronautics Bureau, 72-year-old senior chemical researcher Gunther Tie handled a flask of hydrazine as he gave us his opinion.

“I’m optimistic. New Derusmia already has a launch facility, and we’re more than willing to make them fuel for the rockets on an industrial scale. I just hope Ui Cenneslaig will join us in our journey to space.”

Wilderjaeger National Survival Competition Begins



The Wilderjaeger National Survival Competition began at 2:30 AM SIT today morning, with well over two hundred competitors showing up to partake in the much anticipated event. This season’s fields include two new fields, of which are signal jamming and ambush techniques, in addition to the usual endurance triathlon, marksmanship, evasive techniques, trapping, urban survival, makeshift weaponry, as well as others.

The Competition has been a national event since the 1600s, popularized by Emperor Mingyuedi, better known as the Wilderjaeger Prince. It started with just endurance tests to see who could bear the longest in the worst and most dire of environments, and has since expanded to becoming a way for the Imperial Army and Marine-Guard to recruit promising Wilderjaegern troopers.

There is an overall death rate of 2%, of which are deaths from mostly traps and makeshift explosives unexpectedly going off. However, this has not affected the game’s reputation in any other way than making it an event for the best of survivalist-inclined Wilderjaegern.

Participants are not limited to just Wilderjaegern either, but all competitiors must at least over the age of twenty-five and have approval from the Competition Office.

All foreigners are warned not to enter the competition areas and Imperial police respective to the region will patrol the area to ensure safety.

Police Arrest Evasive Serial Killer, Executed On Scene



Dr. Huess Yu of Eltenbacht was arrested and shot yesterday after finally being caught in a gunfight with several police officers. Known as the Bloody Alchemist, Yu murdered about nineteen individuals through usage of various poisons, acids, and dissolvents. Known for having successfully escaped after being sentenced and en route to prison, he managed to hide until being found during last year's national city-wide sweep. He was first found through usage of DNA tests that proved his connection with the string of murders.

Upon confrontation, he drew a firearm and attempted to shoot the officers apprehending him. However, several heavily-armed policemen quickly returned fire from outside, which caused him to attempt escape, only to be incapacitated by several shots to the legs.

He was executed on-site, with warrant for previous murders, conspiracy to murder, and resisting arrest, along with assaulting an officer.

Outcry Against MCUR



The Self-Defense Party has decried the Emperor-Admiral following the signing of the MCUR treaty, with Party Leader Helmut Eicht saying during an Electorate speech, "This is outrageous! First the ridiculous Ardian Assembly, then the Uppsala Convention, and now this! Does the Emperor-Admiral no longer remember how the war of Black Blood was even won? Why the blood was black?! How can we care about these inane bureaucratic scraps of paper that tie us down when we won our existence through the violation of every point on every single treaty? If the SICR is to live in this century, we shall fight tooth and nail for it, like true dragonaii, not mewling kittens that bow their heads and succumb their fate to diplomatic slavery! I demand President Herminstaat and the Electorate override the Emperor-Admiral and throw away those sheets. if we execute criminals, it is for our own safety. If we purchase the freedom of slaves, it is for their sake that we do so. No foreigner shall hold the Imperial Dragoni at the end of a pen, nor rifle, much less that of a nation so far away."

They were followed by some members of the Imperial Archives noting that while the actions of the Admiral-Emperor have resulted in the formation of SANE and positive prospects for the economy, many dragonaii are still hesitant to even visit other nations outside of SANE and have exhibited suspicion towards the motives of Rokkenjima, East Moreland, the ES, and other global superpowers, mostly towards the Ardian Assembly for pressuring the SICR into agreeing with a "unneeded treaty".

Oriental Commune Survivors?



There has been a shocking report from the ruins of Neu Drachennest, the once-great capital of the Oriental Commune. A radio signal was picked up by the Imperial Watchers surveying the contaminated area and was traced to a former chemical bomb shelter, where the descendants of surviving civilians and soldiers of the Oriental Commune were found hiding underneath the city, within the metro, sewers, and bunker systems. They had formed a splintered society and were constantly fighting over resources and food, occasionally venturing into above into the city ruins to search for uncontaminated rations and water purifiers.

The inhabitants are currently being reintroduced to Imperial society, and the tunnel systems are currently being surveyed by the Imperial Watchers.

New Great Wall Bill Passes in Electorate


Test of the Lance Air Defense System



Today, the Imperial Electorate passed the New Great Wall Bill, a massive military project that will replace the Great Bunker and Border Walls. As said by Emperor-Admiral, "Only a few decades ago we thought we were safe, protected by our great walls of bunkers and artillery. Our reliance on old fortifications has now become a liability, one we can ill afford to tolerate. Our bunkers and outdated tactics make us easy targets, like insects to be smashed. No longer, for today, the Electorate has passed a great new bill into law, one that will give us new hope, one we may rely on in the future. Behold the New Great Wall of the Empire, the Shield-Arrow Protection System! Let our concrete pillboxes be replaced by missile launchers and silos, our watchtowers exchanged for radar and satellites! The Imperial Republic must shed its walls of concrete it has outgrown, and embrace the home in Ardia that it shares with Quintelia and New Derusmia. We must learn to adapt to Mundus, or it shall tread over us." Systems in the Shield-Arrow Protection System (SAPS) include the Fletchette Air Defense System[1], consisting of close-in weapon systems to defend population centers and places of importance from smaller munitions, such as mortars, artillery, and also aircraft, the Lance Air Defense System[2], made of anti-ballistic missile and satellite systems, designed to fend off any long-range attacks from would-be attackers. Another system, the Dragon Eye Project, is currently under review by the Electorate. It will consist of a network of military satellites that will track any launches from across Mundus, giving citizens and soldiers alike time to respond. All systems are currently under development/construction and are under cooperation with the New Derusmian-based Matteus Aerospace Defense Company. Plans include extending the range, with the approval of fellow SANE nations, to cover all member nations from potential airborne threats.

Critics of the bill, such as the Mundus Internationale Party, have pointed out the massive price of the project, along with the fact that it is almost guaranteed to start escalations internationally. Supporters of the Bill, however, such as the Self-Defense Party and National Librarius-Republicans have fired back with the public's fears of Mundus' international powers, notably Rokkenjima. "We are better off spending money on a new defensive system than we are laying in a grave," as said by Party Leader Helmut Eicht of the Self-defense Party. A recent poll shows that 79% of the SICR has reservations on non-SANE nations, while 17% believe there is nothing to fear and a 4% who openly encourage the immediate development of the Shield-Arrow Defense System. Overall, the Imperial Watchers have noted that the vast majority of the population have expressed concern over Kaitaine's recent actions, with at least a few hundred citizens clamoring for some kind of response.

The Budget has been approved, with a total of 6.9 billion Imperial Marks for the total program[3], along with more funding as various systems are completed. The project is predicted to see completion in mid-2022 at its current rate.

Creative Literature and Art Exposition Begins




The Creative Literature and Art Exposition's 237th convening was marked by the hundreds of dragonaii novelists and artists from across the Imperial Republic gathering at Longhaijunwang Creative Center in Eltenbacht to share and display their various works. Readers and fans will attend in the lower floors, where signings will be available, while the discourse floors[1] will be reserved for all attendee creative dragonaii. All members of the public, and for the first time in over a century, foreigners not just limited to SANE nations may participate. The renowned writer Heinz Shibi will attend, with his latest book, the alternate history-themed Mit Freunden des Wolfram Testaments, which focuses on a world where the Imperial Republic never isolated itself during the War of Black Blood and instead formed SANE in 1912. The equally well-known post-apocalyptic fiction author and artist Mei Jihua will also be present, with her new series, Where The Counter Ticks, based upon the aftermath of a devastating nuclear war across Mundus. Artists and writers are, as always, allowed to form contracts for accompanying media on the spot. The extremely popular event will take place over five days, with thousands of expected attendees.

Emperor Jinduming To Visit Pavitr Parvat



Emperor Jinduming announced his intention to visit the recently-emerged Kingdom of Pavitr Parvat to establish diplomatic relations and to offer support in the reconstruction of their nation following their recent civil war. In addition to its Librarius Chinese minority, the Emperor-Admiral believes that it is the Imperial Republic's obligation to help a neighbor recover from civil war. If the visit is successful, the Imperial Engineer Corps will be sent to provide logistical support to help rebuild the nation. In addition, the Librarius is currently awaiting permission to send a humanitarian aid mission. Many Congressmen/women of the Electorate have expressed support for the trip, with many eager medical professionals simply waiting on the Emperor-Admiral's decision to give support.

Anti-Rokkenjima Sentiment Grows




Graffiti was found this morning, painted onto the Provincial Library of Altreich, depicting a crude version of Queen Beatrice of Rokkenjima cutting up a cake resembling the Ardian Continent with a knife labeled "LIES & THREATS". While the graffiti was quickly removed, it was far from being the only one. A massive wave of anti-Rokkenjiman feelings has exploded across the SICR, with many dragonaii anonymously utilizing the arts to show their distrust of Queen Beatrice. Several talk shows have expressed concerns about the internationalism that Rokkenjima expresses, with even the MIP-aligned political talk show host Yue-Luxing saying, "Rokkenjima is too involved in international affairs. They seem obsessed with controlling their close neighbors and instating their own policies under the guise of being reasonable. I believe they can be reasoned with, as a firm pacifist, but it will take far more than words to change their ways."

The Curatoria Assembly has recently also sent an advisory to dragonaii across Ardia to not enter Rokkenjima as a precaution. In Curator [REDACTED]'s own words, "I know not of what the Rokkenjimans or Queen Beatrice in that matter have planned, but it is still better to be safe than sorry. Until Etervia should cross talon with Faneris and deem it so, this warning will remain indefinitely."

More worryingly though, recent transcripts obtained from the BIS have shown that several unnamed members of the SDP pushing for a first strike with China's "Abyss Protocol", a complete launch of the [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER] to [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER] the First Empire of Rokkenjima, causing [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER] deaths worldwide and severe contamination for a possible 200 years.
This has received severe criticism from the other parties, with the Librarius-Imperial Coalition calling on those members to resign immediately.

Many fear Rokkenjima may seek to rebuild its nuclear weapon stockpile despite its disarmament, with congressman Erich Huoying(LEP) noting, "It seems that "Where The Counter Ticks" may soon be the reality. May we pray to Klaniau that the scales of balance are tipped in our favor."

The SDP has pointed fingers at Rokkenjima's recent alliance with the Kingdom of Tytor, declaring it an "Internationalist power bloc" and has repeatedly requested that an emergency meeting with SANE be held in regards to arming SANE against what is a perceived threat to the North.

The Imperial Throne has responded that the government will ensure that peace will be held, and dismissed the claims put forward by the SDP, citing its "warmongering conduct". "In the meantime, exercise a silent mouth and clear mind while abroad the Nestland."

Emperor Jinduming Responds to Rokkenjiman Threats



Today, at the Imperial Electorate, Emperor-Admiral Jinduming responded to the Rokkenjiman threats broadcasted by Rokkenjiman media.

"The Imperial Republic, as part of SANE, does not seek conflict with Rokkenjima. The one thing we seek is peace. The one thing we have on our minds is not to create some sort of cold war in Ardia, no! It is to better strengthen and equalize the power of the various Ardian states so that one nation does not dominate the politics of the Ardian continent! Lest Empress Beatrice forget, SANE was forged from the threats that Rokkenjima presented New Derusmia with. If you did not wish for this conflict in the first place, then you should not make idle threats, for words from a nation such as Rokkenjima is bound to be taken with the highest sincerity -that is, for example, making deadlines and expecting your opponent to collapse upon sighting it.

Furthermore, SANE has made absolutely no mention of even so much as looking towards the Rokkenjiman Sea. If what you expect is a political war over the bay that Rokkenjima dominates, you must be sorely mistaken. SANE has no intention of expanding itself to rival Rokkenjima. If we border Rokkenjima, it is not so that we may encroach, no, it is so that we may give Empress Beatrice a simple nod and head on our way.

Rokkenjima prides itself on being the gracious, the patient, and yet they threaten us by saying such thing as they "fear the worst." We are open to compromise, but should Rokkenjima threaten us yet one more time, or worse, take action against SANE, then appropriate actions will be enforced to ensure the safety of all citizens of SANE."

Immediately following the speech, Emperor-Admiral Jinduming has announced his intention to convene with other leaders of SANE on the appropriate collective reaction to Rokkenjima's threats.

Policewoman Fights Gunman With Sword



Officer Yinyu Jing of the Yumingjia Police Service of Blut-Himmel Stadt attacked three gunmen during a shootout with gang members using nothing but her jian and standard bulletproof vest. After running out of ammunition for her firearm, she drew her service jian and successfully killed one gunman, while causing severe injuries to the other two. A fellow officer who was present commented, "Officer Yinru ran up to one of the thugs and sliced his arm clean off! The other bastard managed to shoot her in the chest, but she got him through the eye. A fitting trade by Klaniau, no?"

The good officer herself was raised in Lower Jiatingliang of Blut-Himmel-Stadt, where she regularly attended classes at the local atheneum. Finding great interest in taiji-jian arts, her initial interest was to become a Talon of Faneris, however, following her graduation from the University of Baxi'dinguo, she turned her career towards law enforcement, gradually becoming Silver Blossum #12268. She currently stands at a four-blossom rank, decorated with two commerative engravings on her jian's hilt.

With the current "swift execution" order in effect against the gangs in the area, the surviving thugs were hastily tried by a jury of five and immediately shot. This marks the second week of the "War on Crime" currently being waged by Governer Anjie, with a total of 13 police deaths, 43 gang member deaths and 41 wounded on both sides.

Local dragonaii have shown support for the police service's efforts, many seeing it as a change from the last Imperial Throne Administration. CEO of Banri Industries, Guanhuo Mian, however, has spoken in favor of the gangs, saying, "Without the gangs, who will watch over the streets? Sure, they shot and tortured a few people, but its no loss. Those people were all lower class, therefore, they didn't work hard enough to get higher. Its just natural selection, you know?"
On Officer Yinyu, Mr. Mian has said, "If that girl knows her place, she will stand down. She doesn't know what she's doing. Keep at it, and her family will get in trouble."

Officer Yinyu responded by threatening through an official Police Service message, "Mr. Mian, please remember that you are still on watch for sexual harassment. All you say will be used against you in court."

President Herminstaat to Not Run for 2020 Reelection

Max Herminstaat Will Not Seek Reelection




On live broadcast today from the Imperial Electorate, President Herminstaat announced his intentions for the upcoming election. "With my five-year tenure coming to an end as the reigning incumbent of the Imperial Presidential Office, and my fifteen-year career as your elected leader as a whole, it is with regret that I inform you my retirement from the office, effective upon the conclusion of the 2020 election. I shall continue to lead our nation to the best of my ability for the remainder of my time as President. I hope that I was just and effective and that our fortune has only begun. Even so, let us keep our eyes watchful and our rifles loaded, but our hearts and minds open to the outside world. We have those who we should fear, but also those who would be our friend. Remember that not every foreigner wishes to slit our throats. Hold your coffers open to others, but do not pour open nor too wide. Keep wing and tail out of affairs that do not affect us, and if the thunder sounds, brace for the storm. Purchase what is needed, not what is wanted. If you doubt the effectiveness of an action, look to the past and consult with the friends past the mountains. Fair winds and solid ground for those who shall succeed me, and may the Dragons' bless you all. Thank you."

His speech was met from thunderous applause from the rest of the Electorate, with the entirety of the LLP, MIP, and LAP congressmen and women giving a standing ovation. SDP congressman Elbricht Yu however commented afterward, "I do not doubt that Herminstaat has the Nestland's best interests in mind, but to trust others so much is hazardous. Dragonaii should understand that Mundus is full of opportunists, criminals, and vipers alike that lie in wait. We should be wary and hold the sword before the hand."
LAP congressman Honorable [INFORMATION WITHHELD] had a far more positive outlook of Mundus' natives. "People are not inherently hostile or untrustworthy. It is simply the destiny given to them by Faneris so that they may affect and therefore shape the lives of others. Who are we to judge? We can only interact with them as Faneris deemed us to and pray that the Dragon has made them become kind and diligent."

"Thesis of the Dragons" Attracts Criticism



Bookstores were jam-packed for the last few days as crowds rushed to purchase copies of "Thesis of the Dragons," blocking entire streets and hindering the movement of motorists and pedestrians alike. The recently-released book by Librarian [REDACTED] has attracted massive attention from all of the SICR, with millions of copies being sold within the first few days of its publication.  The vastly popular book covers the subjects and problems of Imperial Bureaucracy, calling the current government set up as "slow and ineffecient." Instead, it calls for a two-phase transformation of Imperial culture, citing the dangers of Mundus externally. "If Slava Lavosk has nuclear weapons, then who are we to trust that Rokkenjima, Achkaerin or East Moreland would not rearm their pre-existing stockpiles?"

It also marks Soviet Kaitaine and the Bene Gesserit (Theocracy of Kaitaine) as untrustworthy and a threat to the dragonaii people as a whole. "The soviets and their theocratic counterparts are equally brutal, yet they seek to make themselves out as righteous and the true heroes of their people. Both are wolves dressed as sheep, and both froth at the mouth. They have nothing but the lust for victory in their eyes, and they will go to great lengths to seek it, whether it be the honeyed lies that they hand out like sweets to foreigners, asking for support or direct action, such as the Bene Gesserit's child soldiers and the Soviets' usage of gas weapons."

With Rokkenjima, the Librarian had few good words for as well. "They are an octopus, reaching out in the guise of justice and supportive intervention to spread their influence and meddle in others' affairs. Unsatisfied with their own little pool, they will happily take others for their own benefit. As such we can already see that they held talks with the leaders of SANE. Poison to the mind, no doubt. Rokkenjima within SANE? Unthinkable. But possible? Very much so."

Even with many dragonaii in support of SANE, the book brings up concerns and doubts of many for the future of the alliance. "We are not ready for an alliance. We know little about our neighbors, and what we do know is mostly from their viewpoint. It was formed prematurely, in haste and worry that the Rokkenjimans would invade. It is not to say that the alliance is unnecessary, but the SICR should reserve itself to internal affairs until we have something that Mundus will bargain for, and it is at that point that we will reemerge and once again involve ourselves in external problems. We need leverage, but we have none.

The prementioned government reformation is described in the book as: "A complete transformation of government energies and powers. There will be one stage to accompany the logistical stress of the transformation, that we shall call the Transitive Administration of China, and then upon its completion, a new nation will emerge, the second stage, that we shall call the Unity of China.

The Transitive Administration will be governed by a council of specialists instead of bureaucrats, and upon the Unity's founding, will be exchanged to the High Thunder Council. Contrary to democracy, each division of work or study will be governed according to a person who is an expert in their respective field and will dictate all policies; for example, any research into biology will be first governed by a biologist, who will control the overall flow of funding, while those under him/her will be responsible for the various fields of biology."

Librarian [REDACTED] has stated that his publication is meant to push other dragonaii into awareness and then action. Other details, he has said, can be figured out if the Transitive Administration actually is founded, which he has mentioned his doubt of passing in government, not to mention resistance from other parties.

Indeed, opposition from several parties have already arisen, including Erich Huoying(LEP) stating, "This thesis is the rambling of a madman. To reform the government in such a way would cause the death of democracy in the SICR as we know it. Dragonaii should not take this book as seriously as they have. It is propaganda, an attempt to level all that we have striven for since the civil war. We cannot afford such a folly ever again."
From the DEP/MIP, Congresswoman Lu Yunshan has called the book a "symbol of democracy's end" and would like Quintelia and New Derusmia to understand that this "is only an upstart ideology that will soon waste away."
Even the SDP has voiced concerns that this sort of action may be too extreme. Helmut Eicht, leader of the SDP, has mentioned that the measures involved seem "ill-thought-out and far too hasty."

Parties Denounce Sinsu's Emergence


(OOC: TYP and I still have to work out the exact dates, so I'll just use the ever-convenient censor for now)


The Federal Republic of Sinsu (Recognized as the Sinsu Incursion of the Southern Imperial Territory) has emerged from isolation, and with it, the anger of dragonaii who thought this matter resolved. Thousands have taken to the streets and the internet, denouncing Sinsu's right to declare an international foreign policy, along with questioning its sovereignty and right to self-rule as a whole.

Following [REDACTED], Sinsu declared itself the Federal Republic of Sinsu, prompting the still-at-war Second Imperial Republic to launch several campaigns in an attempt to reintegrate Sinsu into the Imperial Republic, but due to low manpower, morale, and supply, failed to retake the Southern Territory.  Following the conclusion of the Civil war in the 1930s, the Phoenix Era focused on the isolation and suppression of the Sinsu Incursion by establishing an active no-cross zone and reinforced defensive lines, in addition to bombardment emplacements to keep constant pressure against the Incursion.

Spite of the Incursion has only increased over time as the successful development of the area has resulted in prosperity, a fact that dragonaii have responded with increased military action and the call to again reannex the Southern Territory.

Currently, the SDP and LEP has issued a joint statement, calling the Incursion "Cowardly monkeys who refrained from helping fellow Chinese during the Civil War," and "Fully deserved their war with the Communists."

The LLP on the other hand, have issued what seems to be suspiciously close to an ultimatum, demanding that the Incursion "relinquish the claim of independence from the Ming-Brandenburg Empire, reunify with the Imperial Republic, and intergrate economy, military, and policy with the SICR."

The only parties to support the "Federal Republic" have been the MIP, who have called for peaceful reunification, declaring that "fellow Chinese should not kill one another in anger in a world of such preexisting hate," and the LAP, who have announced that "No faithful dragonaii should perish at the hands of another faithful; we must prevent another war, whether by letting our Southern brethren free to the world, or by bringing them back into the fold, only Etervia may know."

Peace however, is far from reality as officers in the Imperial Fortress Corps stationed at the border have taken matters into their own hands, launching thousands of rounds of artillery, mortar, missile, and rockets at Sinsu positions within mere hours of receiving the news. Public reaction has ranged from anger and reawakened imperialism to hope that cooperation will lead to a fruitful future for both nations.

Poll Shows Increase In Dislike of Rokkenjima



A national poll hosted by the Imperial Archives has shown that dragonaii have increasingly found Rokkenjima unlikable, and for some, downright untrustworthy. In the city of Sanhe, the population even burned effigies of the Anselmo Empress, decrying their interference on century-old politics with the Sinsic.

Meanwhile, in Nanjing, the Electorate has experienced its own share of anti-Rokkenjiman sentiment, with the SDP calling for increased military spending on a revamped naval strike force and modernized mobile anti-aircraft equipment, in addition to newer tactics. A protestor wrote the words 'Internationalist Empire' in massive characters, placing the banner on the city square, dozens Rokkenjiman flags thrown around it, disfigured by red paint.

The Imperial Navy, meanwhile, following the brief stint where a Rokkenjiman spy submarine made headlines last year, has initiated an intense coastal defense screening program just shy of mining the entire coast. As the general population has shown widespread support for at least some way of defending against Rokkenjima, five more Wolf Class submarines have been ordered, expected to be completed within the next three months.

The BIS has also announced the deployment of remote jammers to counter foreign surveillance, obtained from New Derusmian companies. They have also, in cooperation with the Blood Dragon Aerospace Research Facilities, finally completed development of [REDACTED]

Electorate Votes 36-34 To Recognize Sinsu




In a momentous show of political debate and deliberation today, the Imperial Electorate has voted by just one vote to give up the claims on The Republic of Sinsu, better known as the ROS. The full bulk of the LLP and LEP banded together to vote against the LAP and MIP, leaving only the SDP to decide the final vote. While most members of the SDP were fully convinced to see the bill thrown out, a few members, [REDACTED FOR PERSONAL SAFETY] amazingly tipped the scale by voting in Sinsu's favor.

The bill proposed, Final Political Resolution Bill of Sinsu, 2019, proposes the demilitarization of the active war zone located there, as well as several government policy changes towards the Republic of Sinsu, including full government recognition and the support of its membership into SANE. This also means establishing formal relations and trade, constructing infrastructure to connect the two nations, and a limited open border treaty.

In regards to the resolution and demilitarization of the border proposed by the Ardian Assembly, however, President Herminstaat has announced that the Bakkarmayan observation forces will be refused in place of New Derusimian observation forces, a move that was applauded by the SDP, even despite many voting against recognition of Sinsu. Despite the violent riots and protests that have followed the vote, dragonaii can still agree that "A situation such as this should not have been proposed by a nation such as Rokkenjima, and they would've done well to suggest to Quintelia or New Derusmia to submit an appeal in regards to the tensions between the SICR and Sinsu. If anything, it only serves to anger more of Rokkenjima's expansionism, as many consider Sinsu too vulnerable to outside influence." (Congresswoman Adalie Schmitte, MIP) President Herminstaat has instead stated that negotiations will be held in New Derusmia, and hopefully President Feish as a neutral mediator. This has not stopped fears that Sinsu's national agenda includes closer relations with Rokkenjima, sparking calls for mobilization and to seize and cripple strategiclly important targets across the Republic of Sinsu, before "the Rokkenjiman invaders arrive." the arrival of the Rokkenjiman Navy has only worsened this situation, and protestors are turning to more radical means, pro-Sinsu and anti-Sinsu alike.

Pro-Sinsu dragonaii have made clear that while they support the independence of Sinsu, they "abhor the idea of Rokkenjiman forces so close to home again" and that a preliminary strike is necessary to control the situation and prevent Sinsu from becoming a satellite of Rokkenjima.

Anti-Sinsu dragonaii, on the other hand, have demanded a full "campaign of national safety" to reclaim Sinsic lands and fend off the foreign elements of Rokkenjiman imperialism.

In light of the forementioned civil disobedience that has followed the bill's passing, Nanjing, Blut-Himmel Stadt, and Er-Mingtua have exploded into violence, pro-Sinsu and anti-Sinsu protestors clashing with each other and the police with homemade firebombs, prompting the advancement of the National Conflict Threat Designation to NCTD-2, with the National Guard being deployed to keep order. Protesters have responded by building fortifications along streets, and many moderates in the Electorate fear a full civil war, as several thousand anti-Sinsu dragonaii gathered around the Eltenbacht National Arsenal attempting to acquire firearms and ammunition. Pro-Sinsu forces have been equally busy, with homemade firearms and ammunition being smuggled out of Blut-Himmel Stadt to "insurgency bunkers" in the countryside.

The Admiral-Emperor and President have yet to make a statement on the escalating situation, but with increased military traffic across the National Infrastructure Network, analysts predict an escalation up to potentially NCTD-3 and nationwide martial law, others picturing a far more bleak picture: a second, final civil war.

All Parties Dissolved, Massive Change In Government Doctrine Clear



The silence of the Electorate and sudden halt of all military and National Guard activity across the Nestland have shocked our nation to standstill, protestor leaders calling for a cease in activities as the unsettling lack of government activity became apparent. Only today have the gates of the Electorate creaked open again today, revealing a complete transformation of the parties: which is to say, all gone. In their places were declared three new parties, naming themselves after the various monikers of the Civil War.
The Successor Parties, as they have labeled themselves, consist of the Cobalt Scales Party, Silver Wings Party, and the Starry Earth Party.

The Cobalt Scales, largely made up of former LLP and SDP members, have pledged to "restore and protect the honor, integrity, and dignity of the Imperial Republic by all means necessary from external influences." Already new propositions and bills for the armed forces have been prepared, reiterating concerns by General Beintaut that military doctrine is incredibly behind, save the recent new SAM system developed by WDF (of which several dozen units are planned to be purchased). Declaring the extradition of Imperial dragonaii military personnel to Ackaerin "outrageous and a downright violation of our sovereignty as a nation", multiple congressmen and women have suggested that the personnel involved, (13 officers in total) commit suicide in order to avoid the "unfair treatment they will no doubt receive abroad" and that "no country's jurisdiction or law should be forced upon those who do not understand international law, nor deserve such a mockery in a kangaroo court."

The Silver Wings meanwhile are composed of most ex-LEP and LAP members, assuring the nation that public policies such as the Swift Mass Rail Network, National Server Network, and National Health System will be expanded upon, "for while the others shall debate foreign policy, we will debate and ensure the quality of life at home. Let the fit wage war, we will see to the Nestland." The Curatoria Assembly have declared, as part of religious law, that "the land of Sinsu, save for an officially blessed shrine or temple, is no longer part of the Nestland, though we support their independence and bid them good fortune, that their prosperity has only begun." When asked for comment on the Resolutions and ultimatum by the Quintelian government, The High Curator only shook his head sadly and said nothing, tapping his lips.

The Starry Earth Party is constructed of those willing to build a future alongside SANE and the rest of Mundus. Though strongly supporting the independence and sovereignty of Sinsu, many elements, especially those from the defunct SDP have called for a withdrawal from the Uppsala Convention entirely and forming an entirely separate document that abides by dragonaii doctrine. Regardless, they call for the continuation of the ongoing Southern Line, emergency stockpiles, and [REDACTED] transfers to [REDACTED] by rail. "We are behind on technology and the world. If we are to not become another pawn in the grand international game of politics, we must gather allies to face greater foes." As with the other parties, they too had strong objections towards the Ardian Assembly, noting how a nation such as Ackarein could be allowed to dabble in Ardian affairs this south.

This alteration in government does not change the capitulation of the Emperor-Admiral to the ultimatum made at the Ardian Assembly; however many political commentators are worried that these new parties are simply "marking spite and betrayal in a book for later use." That being said, the question of Sinsu can now be agreed upon. The Republic of Sinsu will be recognized and supported by the SICR and the Bakkarmayan observation forces will police the demilitarized zone. Furthermore, those suspected of being involved will still be extradited.
 
A joint statement was released by the reformed Electorate, saying, "The SICR accepts all fault and damage to reputation caused by this incident. No qulam should be held against any member of SANE, for it was the action the SICR alone that such a response accured in the first place. We hope that the international community understands and that over time we hope that we can atone for such follies."

Altreich National Nuclear Center Finishes Expansion




Following the successful completion of test trials, this morning Department of Energy announced the expansion of the Altreich National Nuclear Center, the SICR's largest nuclear research and energy center, to be complete. In addition to three reactors at the site, the facility now has a total of eight sodium-cooled fast reactors, all installed several dozen meters underground for safety precaustions. The successful development and implementation of the reactors in 1987 allowed for Heisen-Dumingjia and nearby settlements to enjoy cheap and clean energy, with extremely little environmental side effects.

A total of ten reactors throughout the Nestland now generate massive amounts of electricity to tens of millions, operated by Drakon Energy, a subsidiary of Drakon Imperial GLC, the Imperial Administration's government-controlled conglomerate formed for foreign trade. Public opinion of the nuclear plants have soared for the last few decades, causing many to call the current fusion research "a complete waste of time when we already possess clean and reliable energy."

There are rumors that the National Nuclear Center is building reactors for the SICRDN, in preparation for the 2019 Naval Modernization Act that is pending within the Electorate, potentially for (REDACTED BY BIS ORDER). The SICRDN has stated they "can neither confirm nor deny these judgements." Meanwhile, the Atomic Naval Center (responsible for the maintenance and storage of the Strategic Naval Force while not in commissioned service) along the coast has recieved increased rail traffic from the plant, in addition to several heavily-shielded railcars that many have surmised to contain nuclear fuel at the very least.

Sea Serpent Strategic Naval Force Commissioned Back Into Service



After urges by both the SICRDN and the Electorate, as well as several demonstrations at the Electorate's North Gate, President Herminstaat has decided to bring the seven Sea Serpent-class nuclear submarines (Currently in the Strategic Naval Reserve) back into commissioned service. "Mundus is hardly in a stable state right now, and until it is, we need all the forces we have to be ready. As soon as they are released from their homeports, they shall again undergo rigorous exercises in the deep sea until we have either reason to bring them into force or until the situation has settled with Royal Seleucid and the Iwi.  Additionally, the presence of Rokkenjiman Ruby-class submarines near our waters during the Tamora-SICR Purchase Incident performing surveillance operations has highlighted our inability to protect our nation from foreign intelligence. The more we focus on the screening of our local waters, the higher the chance we can prevent such an event from occurring again."

The Sea Serpent Class boasts a complement of 4x 533mm torpedo tubes, firing the Naval Munition Mk. XLVIII, with 12x missile tubes firing the Advanced Cruise Missile Mk. 31 and the Advanced Anti-Ship Missile Mk. 12, in addition to a mine-carrying capability, making the Sea Serpent Class submarine the best the SICR has to offer on the high seas. There have also been talks of upgrades to the submarine fleet's sensors by Josai-based Aihara Systems Ltd, though these have yet to be confirmed.

The Starry Earth Party has requested that the fleet's expansion be at least delayed in favor of other projects, but with public opinion steadily growing warier of[1]Rokkenjiman foreign policy alterations and military activity that enough members of the Silver Wings Party were convinced to vote for the reactivation of the force as a means of alleviating public cries for boosted naval activity.

The heavily shielded transports bringing equipment and munitions for the submarines have been identified as several carrying the logos of the Imperial Sword Project, a [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER], while others have been identified as marked with the Altreich National Nuclear Center's identification codes for "High Classification & Security Transport", though both responsible departments have assured the Imperial Sword railcars to be surplus cars assisting to carry munitions and materials to the Atomic Naval Center and the National Nuclear Center's cars to be containing the refueling fuel cells for the submarine reactors.

Special Naval Measure 37 Passes?



Records released from the Electorate has shown that towards the last two hours of last week's session, a bill titled Special Naval Measure 37 was quickly and silently passed unanimously by the entirety of the Electorate, the 600-page bill being flipped through by congressmen and women as if they did not even read them. Recordings of the bill's details on film have proven equally fruitless and a deviation of normal Electorate behavior, showing only heavily edited and redacted text though several keywords were captured, mentioning a "Strategic Naval Deterrent/Retaliation Force in cooperation with the Imperial Sword Project... In the case of [________], they should be deployed and [______] employed against the [_____] Empire of [___________], [____________], and [_____________]... Would cause potentially [_________] and severe consequences to the long-term state of the environment of approximately [_______] km2 and {?} years long."

Additional notes have made exactly two hundred and seventy-three mentions to the [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER] Program, twenty-six mentions to the Altreich National Nuclear Center, and [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER] mentions of direct orders from the Electorate, President Herminstaat, and the Emperor-Admiral himself to conduct this "emergency activation of assets critical to the sovereign well-being of the Second Imperial Chinese Republic." Several mysterious orders have been placed with CASC, and radiation-shielded transports from the Altreich National Nuclear Center to the CASC shipyards have increased exponentially, accompanied by the overnight stationing of the BIS-connected 12th Imperial Marine-Guard 'Cyanide Maws' Division at the shipyards.

Rumors are circulating that a superweapon is being developed to deter Rokkenjiman interests near the SICR, while others claim that is a mere increase in the production of Wolf Class and maybe a few new Sea Serpent Class submarines- after all, it does mention the word "naval measure." The Electorate has dismissed all questions pertaining to the subject, stating that "it is merely a review of the SICRDN," and that the incriminating sections of the bill are "only reiterations of outdated doctrine that were released by accident."

Imperial Archives Unveils War of Black Blood Military Museum



The much-anticipated War of Black Blood Military Museum had its blast doors groan open for the first time today in Heisen-Draumer as thousands flocked to view its massive exhibits of Civil War military hardware, actors dressed and reenacting up as Longwang-tu-bing and Longguo-huo-bing, along with many other types of military personnel and civilians throughout the era. Veterans, assisted by volunteers, have also made the trip to the museum, sponsored by the Silver Wings and Cobalt Scales Parties. Around five hundred staff and volunteers, in addition to several dozen active-duty military personnel in dress uniform, ensured the smooth opening of the museum and the quality of its exhibits from being damaged or tampered with.

Upon entry to the museum, guests will encounter a mural depicting the flag of the First Imperial Chinese Republic(FICR) and the Oriental Commune of the Dragonaii Peoples(OCDP) crossed against one another. Two entrances will be offered: the path of the FICR, the pathway illustrated with cobalt blue and gold, or the OCDP, painted in crimson and metallic gray.
Going the path of either will still lead to the same central rooms, but occasionally branch off into side rooms as the museum brings visitors from one decade of warfare to the next, depicting major battles from both sides, starting from the Battle of Stahlrecht to the eventual Blacklight Campaign. Every hallway leading to the next time period shows off new uniforms, weapons, munitions, and even small field artillery. With a total of twelve sections describing the main parts of the war, the museum branches to the land vehicle section, aircraft section, and artillery section. Each of these massive display sections shows off articles too large to display alongside the primary historical sections, including the "Glory Huopao" siege gun (FICR), the Geigenhaus-156 heavy bomber (FICR), Xinmei-7764 heavy bomber (OCDP), and the Liberator-D3 heavy tank (OCDP). Doors at the end of the aviation display section lead through a replication of a FICR  leads outside to a large airstrip, where functioning aircraft of their respective eras preform flybys and armored vehicles make their way across the asphalt, with working artillery pieces firing salutes in the order of daybreak, midday, and nightfall.
The rest of the museum leads to recreations of various terrains of battle, from the trenches of 1876 to the bombed-out city landscapes of 1938. Multiple

The entire project was proposed in 1968, but due to constant delays, the project was not atarted until 1974 and finished until early this year, with more delays emanting from the need of spare parts for the operating demonstartion and reenactment vehicles. The total cost was around IM142,600,000‬ total, though most of it came from public and private donations. There are plans to expand the museum, however they have been delayed in favor of various [REDACTED] programs.

Recieving an overall incredibly positive reception by the public, the museum is to remain open on the weekend, with staff alternating as to allow weekend leave. Hours will be from 9 AM - 4 PM, with the museum closing on all holidays. Gift shops built in the form of military storehouses and and a cafeteria area resembling FICR and OCDP bunker mess halls are provided. Admission is free, as all museums are. Parking consists of a few dozen scooter parking spaces, otherwise, a 3-minute walk from the local light rail station is the only way of traveling to the museum.

National Server Network Connects With Mundus



The SICR's public internet, or the National Server Network(NSN), is now connected with the rest of Mundus' internet, allowing dragonaii access to such platforms such as Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, etc without having to leave the country to use computers in ND or Quintelia. Even so, the Electorate has explicitly made clear that NSN will still be separate from the rest of Mundus in order to "protect personal information and preserve the integrity of national cybersecurity."

The newly-formed Imperial Cyber Department has additionally stated that "Though the NSN is still serving, dragonaii are reminded to always use incognito mode and secure browsers regardless of the situation. A secure network is advised. Please remember that your activity is monitored only if you are detected to be involved with suspicious activity, in which your access to the NSN and internet, as well as your ability to leave the country, will be suspended until further notice by the BIS and/or NSN."

Though the Starry Earth Party has questioned the need for such practices, the bill has seen positive feedback from dragonaii tired of having to leave the country to simply send messages to friends or family abroad. In the words of a user posting on reddit, "Sure, traveling to ND is basically free with the National Transit Network, but it's inconvenient to have to wait about an hour and a half just to step four meters into ND soil just so I can text my ND friends. Now I can just sit in my house and do all I want on the internet with basically no problems."

Congressman Denounces Foreign Rhetoric



A new proposition was conceived this morning at the Electorate unlike any other since the Bruderkrieg Act(1824), immediately sparking heated debate both within the Electorate and online the NSN within twenty minutes of the news release. Put forward by a few members of the Starry Earth and Silver Wings Party, the bill calls for the conclusion of measures intended for the political, economic, and societal climate of the Civil War, including the rationing system, martial law, and summary executions that have been present since the 1830s, in addition to the Emperor-Admiral's ability to liberally override the Electorate and the unrestricted actions allocated to the BIS and military.

The bill further states a reduction in government isolationism and possible talks with other nations in order to foster good relations, in addition to changing multiple national symbols and stances, including the role of drugs and censorship laws to better improve the SICR's foreign relations. The central government would also reduce military spending and infrastructure construction to work on the modernization of information technologies and foreign aid. One section even specifically focuses on the mending of relations with Rokkenjima.

This radical bill was immediately met with fierce resistance by the Cobalt Scales Party, many demanding that the congressmen and women responsible for its conception resign. Hans Yue, a Cobalt Scales congressman responded this afternoon with a scathing speech,

"To give up all precautions of reentering the world stage is complete suicide, especially in a world climate as tenuous as it is now. These reforms are too extreme, too soon.. and if they pass, it will bring the downfall of our nation. Already we are being violated by foreign nations interfering in age-old politics with Sinsu, and our own people fighting amongst themselves at a whim, what more could add gasoline to the fire? We must be brazen, yes, we must be bold, but we cannot be reckless, and cannot trust such nations to look for our best interest! We cannot afford to!

I do not understand how fixing Rokkeinjiman relations would help us in any way. Have you not seen how we are but pawns to them, puppets to be played for their game of dominating Ardia? They lust for power, poking their noses into every nation's business, criticizing, demanding, and downright forcing nations to abide by treaties written by their code and doctrine. They poured honey onto shackles and chains, and yet supporters of this bill have fallen for their lies. It is disgusting to see that some of us would rather submit and attempt to befriend them like some lapdog! We will die standing so our children do not serve them kneeling!

A century and a half ago, if the Civil War had not happened and the First Imperial Republic was here instead of us, we could have smashed the foreigners and beaten the traitorous Sinsics black and blue, but here we are instead, thinking that we can make the world love us with fragile diplomacy. Wake up! We will always be the black sheep of Ardia, to be frowned down upon and laughed at. We are the backward, paranoid militants who will run about waving a gun. We will never be respected, no matter how much we try, and so in that we may as well tell the foreigners to go and [EXPLETIVE] themselves. We will seek our own path.

Do not take me to hate SANE. I do not, and only wish the best for New Derusmia, Quintelia, and Josai. But SANE will not last long if we continue to be in it. We are dragging down the dreams of Southern Ardia with our reputations as violent and unstable delinquents. We are unwillingly, unwittingly, feeding the damned Rokkenjiman propaganda machine with our actions. The Southern Line lost the ASA because of us, and we have brought nothing but woe to the collective image of Southern Ardia.

We are not ready. We are acting too much, too soon. We should fix up our own problems at home and watch the world. Let Mundus burn itself to the floor. Let SANE flourish. The company of others may not be for us, but it will be nice to not fear our neighbors. We will prosper in our own way, in time."

The congressman was met by exuberant applause by the Cobalt Scales Party and some members of the Silver Wings, while many of the Starry Earth Party disapprovingly left the hall in protest.

Electorate Addresses Clysperis Civil War



The Electorate addressed the state of Clysperis today, saying that "exactly no action will be taken towards or against the Clysperis Confederation and Kingdom until a complete and thorough understanding of the social and political climate is achieved. Therefore, it has been decided to be in the SICR's best interests that observers be dispatched to examine the situation while resources are directed towards other needs." No comment has been made on what actions would be taken if the SICR were to intervene, although many are doubtful towards both sides, a historian of the Imperial Libraries saying, "This feels far too much like our civil war. The only difference is that they are willing to have foreigners aid them in their bloodbath, but that only adds more bodies to the grave." The Imperial Throne has yet to comment on the matter.

Meanwhile, the public has remained fairly divided on the topic, though most agree that if either side is to win, reforms must be instituted. Some have joked about the Royal Clysperis forces, saying, "All of their soldiers will shame the other side on social media and win the war because a good leader must be a role model for their troops!" The Confederation forces were not spared either, with rather 'daring' dragonaii posting memes such as one with a picture of the infamous Civil War Imperial general Yuan Houxing frowning at the captions "Killing innocent religion-goers because down with the religion" and smiling at the captions "Killing everyone in the city because why not". The Imperial Cyber Department has requested the posters responsible to post less gruesome-representing memes in the future.

New Vessels Undergoing Sea Trials



A spokesman for the SICRDN has announced the purchase of multiple new vessels from CASC, special emphasis upon three orders of a new class of submarines designated the Huobeijiguang(火北極光) class, destined for the Strategic Naval Reserve. These vessels appear to have finished construction at least several years ago, but following an unusual payment method where the Imperial Administration promised payment after their delivery to the SICRDN in order to legally withhold release of its existence to the public and following that, the BIS has censored all information on the new submarines, other than the fact they are nuclear-powered. In addition to these submarines, there has been the procurement of several new designs for anti-aircraft focused destroyers and guided-missile cruisers.

In the meantime, the newer Sea Serpent submarines are currently undergoing sea trials, and are to be closely followed by their newer Huobeijiguang class brethren later this month. The increased action of the SICRDN has been widely noted as a move to better cover the ancestral weak point of the SICR, the Southwest Coastline, a move applauded by anti-foreign partisans in the Cobalt Scales Party and widely criticized by various members of the Starry Earth Party, with Congresswoman Greta Lowe questioning, "In what need do we have to build up such a massively threatening naval force? A few more coastal defense warships, that I could understand, but more nuclear submarines? Do we plan to traverse the globe in order to protect our homeland? There is no need for a bigger armed force, we have already plenty of those. No, what we need are stronger relations with our neighbors and the rest of Mundus. If we desire to be better than those we despise, we should show them a united front of SANE."

"We Need A True Republic" Minor Political Group Calls For Radical Changes



A demonstration of around a few hundred individuals recently returning from education and travel abroad have gathered in Nanjing's Memorial Park, making shocking demands, such as the abolishment of the Imperial Administration and dissolution of the monarchy as a whole, replaced by a system resembling much of the government changes as suggested by Librarian [REDACTED] earlier this year. Wearing gas masks and respirators, they have brandished signs labeling the Emperor-Admiral's position as "Toxic to us All" and aggressively approached officers attempting to calm the situation.

A police officer attempting to negotiate was violently assaulted with a metal pipe and received minor injuries while another was almost beaten by what is now being called a riot before being pulled away by fellow officers to ensure his safety. Old Nanjing's governing Mayor was forced to dispatch the local BIS contigent, as well as riot control forces in order to prevent the escalation of the demonstration any further. Using peaceful, nonlethal tactics, the mob was successfully dispersed and order restored.

The Imperial Electorate reacted with collective horror, and resolution was qiuckly passed to ensure the full illegality of another protest or gathering that demands the removal of the Ming-Brandenburg House from its rightful place atop the Throne.

Concern Over Dragoni Weapons Trade



After the BIS seized a 120-ton bound delivery of what was supposedly agricultural products bound by train for Quintelia turned out to be several dozen assault rifles and other small arms, along with several thousand rounds of ammunition, the Starry Earth Party has forwarded an official government inquiry into the role of the weapons trade present throughout the nation and the growing worry that it may expand into neighboring countries. A full survey of the trade showed that despite police efforts, the sheer number of homegrown gunsmiths has only grown in the last three decades, with almost every criminal organization in the nation, -or even individual lawbreakers, at this point- has access to at least a single automatic firearm with a magazine capacity over twelve rounds, with simple semi-automatic Pattern 32A pistols having been found converted into selective-fire, possessing twenty-round box magazines, or in some cases, a fourty-round drum, converted with multiple modification kits into a submachine gun. Even more concern arose when a homemade .50 caliber machine gun was found and promptly confiscated from the garage of [REDACTED BY BIS ORDER], mounted on the back of a home-forged armored car made from a heavy-load vehicle chassis and a large amount of concrete sandwiched in between steel (dismantled by the BIS).

Both historians and politicians attribute the cause of this homemade weapons storm from the Domestic Soldier Act (1897) and Homefront Defensive Line Acts (1900), initiated to instruct and equip civilian populations with the ability to produce home-made weapons to combat an enemy occupation. Done during the Thirty-First Grand Southern Offensive, the first act ended up slowing down the OCDP advance at the cost of thousands of lives, in time for General Shi Zhiliang to push back the exhausted enemy troops and therefore causing the second to be passed, providing thorough training of village populations to create underground production centers, complete with simple milling machines. Hundreds lost their lives to cave-ins, misfires, and chemical poisoning from equipment, while thousands still fought with unreliable weaponry probably manufactured in their neighbors' basement. Single-use village militia weaponry dominated the battles of 1903-1913, as simple arquebuses loaded with metal scrap and stones were used as crudely designed traps designed to harass and severely injure patrols.

Further still, during the final years of the war, the OCDP began mass-producing tanks to overwhelm the front lines, causing the now-SICR to respond with forcing its intellectual population into engineering cram schools, where students were taught to create more refined weapon manufacturing techniques and began equipping a small number of settlements with advanced equipment from scrapped military armored trains. Of course, these local resistance techniques exploded with consequences after the conclusion of the civil war, with insurgencies popping up all over the country, in addition to the recent loss of Sinsu just prior to the war's end.

The Electorate remains divided on the issue, with its proponents emphasizing its value for home defense and its opponents highlighting the rise in police casualties. While the BIS remains effective in seizing illegal and unauthorized shipments of weapons outside the country, many worry about the effect it could have should the SICR have a similar politically dividing issue as the Sinsic recognition crisis earlier this year. Nevertheless, the gun trade remains an issue for police and dragonaii alike as even with the crime rate decreasing, smugglers seem to sense a market outside of the SICR.

Foreign Relations Minister Jia-Weiyi Steps Down



Following a letter of resignation to the President, the Foreign Relations Minister has stepped down from her post last night, citing not declining health, nor a desire to spend more time with family, but instead in shame for failing to prevent the humiliation collectively suffered by the nation in the last two years that the SICR has returned to the global stage. The letter was delivered in person by Minister Jia-Weyi, who reportedly carried a case of all her personal belongings and turned in her government badge and seal, in addition to keys of the Foreign Relations Minister's Office. She departed the capital back to her hometown in Lower Zhuhang, Altreich at 11:47 PM IST by high-speed-rail.

Having worked for the government for over 47 years to helping forge foreign policy, the Minister was involved with the dissolution of the SICR's isolationist policies and spent the majority of her career fighting the isolationist parties within the Electorate, while traveling all over the nation to encourage young voters to elect anti-isolationist legislators as the Secretary of External Influence. After President Gang Bingshan's election in 2005, she pushed again for the reemergence of the SICR into Mundus as a highly industrialized trading partner but was not successful until being made Minister of Foreign Relations in 2018 when the Emperor-Admiral chose to finally reestablish contact with neighboring nations.

The 67-year-old left behind several documents outlining how the Imperial Administration was woefully unprepared to deal with modern politics after over a century of brutal war and isolation, leading to disorganized and ill-guided responses to multiple crises, including the Tamora-SICR Trade Incident and the Sinsu Question, both of which were labeled "disgraceful" by the Minister in the gathered number of documents, now being referred to as the "Jia Report" by the media. Many sections of the compiled information collectively attribute many failures in the Sinsu Question to leftover extreme nationalist sentiment from the Pheonix Era, and still more of the purchase of human labor from Tamora as the still-remaining picture of the SICR as liberators of the oppressed, relating to when the Imperial Dragonaii Army freed political prisoners from the work camps of the OCDP during the late stages of the war.

"Overall," it was written, "I stand in disillusion and deep humility for failing my duty to my fellow people as a government official, never mind my experience or seniority. I have lost the right to my office by my incompetent display, and therefore aim to serve the nation is another position where I shall be able to serve better. May my successor have greater success and may our debt to misfortune be considered paid."

Minister Jia-Weiyi's sudden resignation in the face of yet another crisis, this time the Clysperi Civil War, has brought up much panic in the Electorate over mostly how other senior members of the government may react and whether the decision to reemerge was a good one. The CSP issued a joint statement, declaring that "the loss of such a talented and experienced government officer shows only how underprepared the SICR is to face the world. The best step we can take now is a step back, so that we may consider our decisions and situation more carefully." Emperor-Admiral Jinduming meanwhile encouraged the government and people to push forward, pointing out that "If we wish to prevent future incidents, then we must face it. We will act, and act in however necessary to resolve this problem, in coordination with our allies."

"Away With The AA Before Summer's Day"
Conflict Over The Ardian Assembly Arises



With the fresh memories of the Jia Report in mind plus the humiliating actions forced upon the SICR following dramatic foreign and domestic policy changes, rumors and talks alike have risen in the Electorate in regards to the Ardian Assembly, of which has increasingly been looked upon with contempt by dragonaii lawmakers and citizens alike, and the SICR's membership in it being seen more and more as shackles by the major powers of Ardia binding lesser nations to a prison of bureaucracy.

The majority of the faction opposing the SICR's continued membership in the AA is the CSP and SWP, which has already begun speaking of the AA's ills all over the NSN as well as the radio and political talk shows. The primary catalyst for the departure of the SICR from the AA is the Sinsu-SICR Crisis, of which has been felt to be vastly forced upon the nation, as many see extradition of dragonaii to Achkarein to be charged as outrageous, in addition to the stationing of foreign troops on Imperial soil, seen as a violation of sovereignty, with the SICR's forced consent. A minority have even placed blame on Quintelia for embargoing the SICR in order to resolve the crisis, but they have been frankly ignored under the argument that Quintelia was possibly in conditionally worse political pressure than the SICR at the time, as was New Derusmia's, all hands forced by the Ardian Assembly.

Their opponents consist of the SEP, who have yet to proceed on a unified response against the anti-treaty faction and message for the public. The party itself is divided between lawmakers who genuinely believe that the SICR should stay in the AA for its own benefit while others believe that such action is too hasty but itself not unadvisable. The basis of the pro-treaty argument rests upon the belief that a friendly agreement can be worked out between the other nations of Ardia and turned to be used against Rokkenjima's favor, though when and how still remains unclear.

The public has stayed far from silent, forming in the shape of heated debate wherever a public queue or gathering is, whether that be coffee shops, bakeries, or even athenaeums. A Mr. Ying commented that "The Assembly seems to always have its discussions opened up by the Rokkenjimans, and always the ones who seem to be the first to present a solution are the Rokkenjimans. They are undoubtedly using it to their imperialist ambitions, while the other great powers of Mundus do nothing to help for Rokkenjima is only too happy to lay many a pretty Ducat in their palms, don't they?" Another dragonaii, a Ms. Jian, responded in turn, "Ardia's other nations are still full of plenty reasonable people who can see Rokkenjima's overexerting ambitions, and the Assembly is perfect to use in that respect against them. Surely SANE cannot be the only group of nations that distrust Rokkenjima's motives."
