Fleet Sets Sail to East Moreland


With the Festival of Sail right around the corner, the Sturmheim School fleet of 18 Sail galleons have left the harbor on their journey along aranye coast and across the illumic. Unlike previous years the whole fleet is undertaking the voyage.

The Academies still await confirmation from the festival's staff to clarify the amount of ships that will participate in the parade, and how many have to stay offshore.

Additionally it has been revealed that the sg 17 and sg18, both Star ships over the past two years, have been sent to dry dock, and are replaced by the 19 and 20. With their respective crews asigned to the new ships:

"Both ships have taken most focus during the last battle, and need the Maintenance direly. They will return to service likely in two years."

Senates start review of MAEA


While several Big Players start signing the MAEA treaty meant to ensure the "Safe" use of Nuclear Power, the Senates have sat down to take a long look and debate if the Empire should join.

The first round of Speakers, while reluctant to join an International Organisation, have shown keen interest and Support for the MAEA.

"The Path is the Right one, and it is something we should not sit out."

While another Speaker had a clearer word for it:

"The world moved on and we didn't have any input, yet again. This is a Disgrace."

The Debate is Scheduled to end at the First of September, when a Decision should be made.







Summercamps trying to host on a Tropical island

With 2019's Summercamps just underway, the committee has announced plans to work with the Iwi for a special Summercamp in the Future.

The promoted plans are set to rent out a small Island in the Commonwealth, and use it for a "stranded on a Tropical island" Scenario. The exact Plans on how the Camp will work is still in work, especially as the Committee admitted they are unsure if the Iwi can even consider such a venture.

"They have a recent history of war, and in the Minds of some, we basically have our Children play Wargames in a very serious Manner during the Camps. We have to ensure first that the local Iwi and the Commonwealth would agree with our idea. Which is why we open up about our Plans ahead of time, and are walking into the Negotiations with Open Cards. The first hurdle would be to find a fitting island, that allows us to Monitor the Campers, which at best would be a handful, and then find a way to Preserve the Eco System from a Bunch of very Hungry Teens."

HoHaZu annual meeting discusses Celtic Protectorate




NUC, 20th December


During their Membership Congress, the Board of the HoHaZu[1] has surprised it's Members with revealing they took King Heydar of Royal Seleucid up on his offer to be International Observers.

After some, according to the written Protocol, shouting by the Members, the Board began their Report with stating the exiting potential of Costumers. Stating that while the Seleucid are valuing Craftsmanship and intricate designs, they also Value sturdiness instead of Plastic throwaway, and struggling with supplying themselves with true high value Furniture and Woodwork, citing the Report:

"They use wood a lot, but the Desert shape of the Land has left their Woodworkers to mostly produce functionality, lacking the aesthetics their Jewelers and Masons provide. We think there is a market of high value, Ecological yet still Luxurious items that we could provide."

The report continued with slide shows about living conditions, hospitality, and other details that one of the disgruntled members called 'Guided Tourist Vacation Photos'

To this point, while controversial, the Report mostly painted a positive Picture of the Progression. The real outcry came when the Report finished with the following Sentiment:

"After observing the People living in the Protectorate, the Real Problem we see is something the King won't be able to Solve. His Father and Brother have left him an issue that he will unwillingly pass down to his own Son, and maybe even to his future Grandchildren. The Cultists in the Protectorate aren't Morelanders. They Dress like Seleucid, they dislike the Iwi like Seleucid, they Cook like Seleucid. They are Seleucid Cultists, not Morelanders. But they have lost faith not in their Gods, but their Kings. They faced hostility recently due to the Kings late Brother, and faced Genocid due to, what many felt like, the shortcomings of the late King Akainos. King Heydar stands at the Fragmented Trust he started to Piece back together, and while many seem to be Hopeful, they just can'T shake the dread of the Past. He has fixed the Pieces to his best ability, but this Generation will see the Cracks till their Death. Cultists and non Cultists in the Protectorate alike.
But, and this is a big but, King Heydar is the only one, or rather him as a Symbol of his Nation, that can heal this Wound on the Long run. These People all are Seleucid, they want to trust again, but just can't. And only a unified Seleucid can mend the Rift for the Generation to be Born if they Work, and can work, together."

At that point, the Report was cut short by Several Members of the HoHaZu shouting at each other, forcing the rest of the Report to be published online.

The Palace and the Senate have both issued a short Statement, stating that the HoHaZu are entitled to their Opinion, and while they don't share the sentiment, they urge the Senators and Speakers to actually read the Report and not act on hearsay in the upcoming weeks of regular Debates.







Prince Augustin rushed to Hospital




NUC, 20.12.


The Prince has been rushed into Hospital with Sirens in the Evening after, according to Palace staff, he felt suddenly unwell. Details have not been given yet on the details, just that he isn't in immediate Danger at this point of Time, but that he will most likely spent the Festival of Love at the Hospital due to needing constant observation.

The Emperor, visibly shaken, has made a statement from the Palace after visiting the Hospital:

"Augustin will need rest and treatment. I hope you can understand we won't disclose the Nature of his Condition right now for Privacy and other Reasons. He will not be alone during the Festival, and i will Visit him. I will ask any Reporters to make Appointments with the Palace about him and not try and sweet talk the Hospital staff. If anyone does, i can assure you, you'd prefer to Deal with Malcom Tucker, instead of me."

This seems to be a reference to Morelands's Palace Press Staff, infamous for his colorful Language when dealing with Reporters.

'Schnuffelchen' was Target of Attack




NUC, 21th December


After Prince Augustin has been rushed to the Hospital yesterday, disturbing News have reached us from the Palace Press Office. The sudden Sickness is in fact, no sickness at all. From what the Palace has disclosed, Augustin fell Victim to an attack that was most likely aimed at his Bunny, the Mascot of a Children's TV show and Mascot of the Cancer Trust fund founded after the young Prince's decision to do his best to Help his Friend Princess Rhiannon of East Moreland last Year.

While no Details have been given, Augustin will have to stay at the Hospital for an undisclosed amount of Time.

Meanwhile after the Palace, Police Headquarters have made a statement that they are investigating several Individuals that might have had the Chance to commit the Act, while one of the Palace's Garbagemen claimed to have noted a high amount of Vegetable Items and Pet Feed to be thrown away and specifically ordered to Incineration.

Festival of Love underway




NUC, 24th December


While Parts of the Empire Celebrate these Holidays as Christmas, most of us celebrate it as Festival of Love, with giving gifts to those closest to us, and traditionally going to large public gatherings on the last of the three celebration days.

The Religious Heads of Several Cults, some Christian Denominations and other smaller representations, have started their Celebrations together in the City Temple, with most of the Imperial Family attending.

Aside the usually well wishes, Grandmaster Schulz holding a ceremony about the Nativity, the High Priestess of Death traditional absence from the Festival, we had one surprising guest, with a recently converted Woman speaking for the Bene Gesserit faith. There was no Mention of the conflicts, nor Political statements, and she stuck to theology. It still took us by surprise, and having a quick word with her, the Woman, we think it might be a Missionata, explained that she was on a self imposed travel ban:

"I do not wish to bring harm to my Country, only because they allow me to choose which faith to follow freely." before she quickly hurried of to meet with her family.







Traditional Orphan Dinner at the Palace




NUC, 24th December

As is Tradition since Orion the First took the Throne, a Large group of Orphans will share the First Day on the Festival of Love with the Imperial Family. A lottery system has determined who gains the Honor, and the Group had arrived in the Morning to get properly dressed up for the occasion, as the Emperor had stated:

"We invited them to experience our Lives for this day, and be Part of it. Admittedly some of the Clothes are Second hand from my Nieces and Nephews, and trust me, with Eleven of them, there are more than enough to go around in the royal Wardrobes."

When asked about Prince Augustin, who recently had been hospitalized, the Emperor answered:

"He will have to stay at the Hospital, as much as it pains us, he still needs to stay on surveillance, and bringing the equipment up to the palace would be more hassle and needles cost. We did all visit him in small batches, can't fit the whole family in at once. He also insisted while he is unable talk right now, that some of the other young Patients in the Hospital can visit him if they want to, which is a great gift to some of them who now get to meet the voice of their favorite cartoon, even if he can't speak right now. I am also giving out a big thank you from him to East Moreland. He was very, very moved by all the well wishes and bunny Pins we showed him on social Media and the Internet. While he doesn't have an account himself, as with all Royal Children before going to an Academy, We do have a shared account for my Nieces and Nephews that we show them after making sure some things get filtered out. Please understand we won't post Pictures of him on Sickbed though."







Nya Aland Embassy gives show of Culture of their own




NA, 24th December

The Embassy of Neu Uburzis in Nya Aland has gone to drastic measures. After the visiting Youths of Embassy staff had thought of a great 'Prank' over Night, the Embassy was lit up with dozens of Heart Shaped Neon signs, making the Embassy look like a cheap Brothel instead of a Festival of Love sign.

The Ambassador had a quick remedy, stating that: "If it's our culture our boys want to share, that's what we'll do."

The result was the Embassy stuff taking down the lights quickly, before the participant Teenage Boys got lined up on a Balcony, reading a public apology over a Megaphone to the Alanders, and then receiving all several Strikes on their rear ends from their Homeschool Teacher right in view of everyone Passing.

The Ambassador, his own Son among the Delinquents, stated that they decided against doing the punishment in traditional Bare manner:

"We wish to remedy a potential Incident before it get out of hand, not cause one. There is tradition, and there is respecting the wishes of the Host Nation."

Prince Augustin released from Hospital






Following several days of Stay in the Hospital after suffering from an undisclosed attack, Prince Augustin was seen leaving the Hospital, making his way back to the Palace earlier in the Morning.
According to Hospital staff the young Prince insisted on giving a visit to some other Patients that didn't get a chance to meet him the Previous days, as he has become a little celebrity for many children.

Prince Wife Siegrun was picking the Prince up, offering the Journalist a glance of the Tearful reunion between the young Imperial and his Pet Bunny, out of respect, we will not show pictures of that.

According to Police, the current investigations into who conducted the attack have run into a wall, as the Providers of Pet Food to the Palace have come up Clean, leaving only Pet Food that has been part of Larger Donations as source.

"We aren't even sure it was a deliberate attack on the Imperial Pet, or a very cruel and twisted Person sending out a Trap for just whomever."







Niameck Fashion Week to replace Fashion Show after Convention Center burned down






As the Niameck Fashion show had been cancelled earlier this year due to a Fire destroying the Exhibition Halls in Niameck down to the Base walls, the City has devised a Plan to have a Fashion event non the Less together with Princess Adelheid and her Clothing Brand "Adel verpflichtet."


"The Fashion Week will be hosted by several Smaller, yet as we believe, more Artistic Venues all over the City. Additionally we have invited the Nyx Ballet to be in the City during the same Time, and will have an Open Stage and events on one of the Cities Main Squares."

When asked about the Potential of Duchess Stasya visiting this year, the City council answered:

"While we would be glad to Host a Fashion Icon like her again, we very much Doubt she will take up the offer so close to her Wedding."

Elder Senate Changing Succession Order Temporarily[1]






After a heated Debate in the Elder Senate, they announced that due to the still missing Twins Daughters of Wilhelmina and Thesseus von Uburzis, the current Successor to the Imperial Throne, should Orion die without children, will be Prince Augustin as new Crown Prince, followed by his two Brothers. The Sons of Persephone von Uburzis stood on rank three to five up to this change.

The Senate explained his decision, which has been felled without attendance of either the Emperor nor the Prince Regent, with the necessity of clarity for the near future:

"The Emperor has our full faith in fulfilling his Duties, but the Divine might have other Plans. We need to have someone able to take the Throne should something happen to the Emperor, and not pray that somewhere some when the Twins Sisters Romula and Rema resurface. Even then it is unclear if they will be fit to Rule after prolonged time with their Captors, or their Mothers underlings, wherever they are. Should they be recovered Safe and Mentally healthy, we will reverse this decicion. But in the End, we had to make a call, and after recent attacks on the Imperial family, it had to be now."


Over a year has passed since the twins have left the Palace with help from former employees of their Deceased Mother. But the Trail went cold when the Twins must have left the Nation via Boat. Police and KND are still pouring resources into finding them yet:

"Their trail went cold in Abydos. Local Law enforcement has provided us with Proof and much help that they have been there, but Markus Weichsel, the last known Link to the Twins, has vanished together with them. Just to reiterate the tragedy here. Their own Mother, who killed the Empress, her Husband, most of his Siblings, and a young Boy from UC, just because he looked like the Emperor, has left her daughters in the hands of a known substance abuser."





Military to enter Negotiations with Smart War






After a long debate about how to bring the Armed forces up to Current standards, considering many parts have become aged or dated, or flat out obsolete in the current Theaters of war, the General Staff and the Admiralty have announced to enter first Level negotiations with Smart War, the Morelandish Arms Manufacturer responsible for, among others, the Swarm Robots that the Borland Terrorists used to murder civilians across the whole globe:

"If we want to get back on Top, we need to admit that Smart War is one of the Best options. Not the only one, but our First choice." Admiral Eidmeier stated at the Press conference.

Imperial Slap to the Face




NUC, 27th January 2020

It has been a surprisingly eventful evening at the Capital's Main Youth Senate. What was supposed to be the last Speaker of the evening, accumulated Three strikes right away. Quintus F. , second Son of a HoHaZu Board member, held his first Speech, and called the Elder Senate out for making the Empire a silent observer on the World Stage, instead of an active actor.

So far, not necessarily an uncommon occurrence. What changed the Situation was the Emperor taking Stage directly after him. Starting off his speech, we saw Orion praise our system, but pointing out the Same issue the last speaker had with the current situation.

Yet, the young Emperor went further, while masked under generalization about Democracy as a whole, the well informed reader would recognize the events he spoke off as the current conflict between Nueva Ardia, Rokkenjima and other Actors on Ardia. Calling out President Melos for walking over parts of his own citizens, as much as Empress Beatrice for trying to put a boot to another country to project her might. We printed the whole Speech onto page two.

The Emperor though, did throw shade at the elder senate as well. In what can only be described as threatening them, he told them bold and clear to start working faster on reacting to pressuring issues, or he will make use of his powers regularly in the future.

While the Senators have reacted in different ways, some claiming that 'The boy is still too young to understand' - Henriette Herrlich, has made it clear she sides with the Emperor:

"We have been silent for some of my colleagues have taken this regency up as a prolonged vacation. We need to get to work harder on resolving issues. The Emperors role is to take over when we are unable to find conses. It is not his role to do that every time just because we got lazy."

While the young Emperor has given the Elder Senate a Verbal slap, he himself didn't come out harm free either. His regent, apparently unaware of the Speech, has handed him a very public and audible statement to the face.

We had caught him for a short statement: "While i am Proud that Orion takes initiative, he needs to understand while i am his regent he should consult with me. His speech was good for a fifteen year old, but rules are rules. Breaking them has consequences and just as Much as young Quintus took his with pride, Emperor Orion knew what was coming and accepted it."

Further sources claim that Quintus F. will enroll into a military academy following the next weeks, though its unsure if his parents told him to or if it was his own decision.

Fashion Week Takes off






Niameck, 10th February 2020


The second Time Niameck hosts a large International fashion event, it goes from a Day to a whole Week.
Making due with the burned down Venue of 2018's Fashion show, this Time Princess Adelheid hit the Park with a whole Week of Celebrating Clothing, and has even managed to throw restrictions of showed clothing out played on the last event:

"Fashion will be what fashion is. If the represented gowns do not work for our sense, then the Designers will have to Adapt. This is about showing what you are capable of, not sales for the mass market." The Princess said.

It remains to be seen how successful the event will be.

Robert von Niameck has passed away


The Empire is in mourning after the passing of the former longest lasting Senatorial Elder, Robert von Niameck.

After having retired from his position in late 2020 due to decaying health, von Niameck has seen his last Years surrounded by Close Friends and Family. The Press release from his Family states he died peacefully in his sleep.

According to his wishes he will not be interred with previous Senatorial Elders, but in his Family Mausoleum in Niameck. A televised Mass will be held next Sunday, while the Family has asked to allow them to bury him in peace. The Palace has already issued a statement that they will honor von Niameck's wishes and not attend either, instead they will attend the public mass.






Legislature passed on AI, as fifth Senatorial Elder in three Years has been elected.


Coinciding with von Niameck'S Death, the Elder Senate has elected it's fifth Leader in just three Years together with new Legislature.

Assuming her new Role, former Admiral Matilda Eidmeier has read the conclusions of a lengthy debate:

"As Speaker for the Elder Senate, we announce the following will be enacted into law:

The so called artificial intelligence does not create copyright material. Nor will products be recognized as holding such in the Empire.

All so called AI Models will have to either make their training data public, or be blocked in our countries.

All so called AI Models will have to provide proof of active agreement to their training Data being used by the original Copyright holder. Open Source Licences are not viable due to them having been written in a Time where such technology was not yet available. Only if they have been published under recent licences or the Author has given permission are they allowed to operate or sell their product in Niameck."


A statement from the Palace sees the Emperor congratulating Senator Eidmeier, as well as hoping the new Laws will bring human artists the security for their works they have been hoping for.

New Elder calls for a General Vote






Neu Uburzis Stadt, 30.8.2023



Just her second day in the leading Role, and former Admiral Eidemeier, nicknamed the Mermaid, has shown why she has been considered a controversial choice. Without delay she has pushed the call for a General Election over the still ongoing debate on the Mundus Convention of Universal Rights, Here an excerpt from her speaking to the Plenum:


"We have waited for over four bloody Years to make a decision now. The boy (Editorial Note: Emperor Orion) has been pushing us to come to a conclusion and my predecessors delayed, delayed, delayed. If we can't make a decicion, let all of us make one. Those in Favor of calling a general Election on if we want to not only sign, but change our Nation to be in compliance with the Universal rights, cast their vote now."


Admiral Eidmeier has received a strong support on her call for 65 % of the Elder Senate, making the Issue now a National Vote through all Senates, Youth Senates included. It is expected that within the next two weeks we will see hefty discussions and loads of fines for various speakers. The Emperor has urged the Youth Senates not to overdo it, stating:


"For the sake of your own Seats, please follow the rules of your houses. We do not need a scandal of mass punishment over this issue especially."

Seven Members of Elder Senate retiring in Protest to the Election of Eidmeier







Neu Uburzis Stadt, 03.09.2023



While the discussion over how the Empire could get itself in accordance with the MCUR are debated heavily, another small political Earthquake shook the Elder Senate. Seven of it's long serving Members have together announced their retirement in Protest of former Admiral Eidmeier now leading the highest Council in the Empire. An excerpt from their Statement reads:



"Military Members aren't to sit in the Senate. No buts not ifs. The technicality of Matilda Eidmeier never having sworn the Oath to serve only the Emperor means nothing in the face of facts. We understand we are a minority Voice here, and so our only path of Protest is to leave behind our positions in the Elder Senate."



The aforementioned Speaker of the Elder Senate, has given a short statement:

"It is never a good day to see someone Leave a council because they feel unheard. I understand their concerns, yet i have been asked, no tasked, by the Emperor himself to this new Role leading the Senate out of the shambles it has been in the last four years. If i had it my way, this wouldn't be necessary and i'd still advise Orion directly. But he saw me needed here, and the overwhelming majority of Voters in the Elder Senate have agreed with him. We have been unable to do our work, and it is time we take back the reigns and make the legislation necessary to run the Country. Or in other words. Let's go back to doing our damn job."

Senate hearings over MCUR heating up







Neu Uburzis Stadt, 20.09.2023



It had been loud in almost every Senate across the Empire these past two Sundays, and it took us some extra days to work through a good part of the Debates and Speeches held on the Topic of the MCUR we expect to go to Vote in October.


Just as a Quick reminder, the new Speaker of the Elder Senate had called for a general Vote if the Empire should strive to make it's Legislature MCUR conforming, with the Goal of signing it at the end of the process, or if we should remain non signatory. We present to you a couple of the most hotly discussed arguments on the matter:

  • Signing the Abrahamic Declatarion instead: While heavily discussed in the southern Christian-leaning Senates, it has been rather clear the overwhelming majority of the Empires Senates strongly reject the Idea. from most Arguments we have seen, it is considered to simply a doctrine of a Faith that has fallen out of favor here, and shall not return. The trinity Order, suprisingly, has agreed with the Majority. Grand Master Schultz being quoted with saying that "Faith should not be weaponized to hurt those not believing in it. Our Order has just too recently been reminded how wrong Zealotry really is. the Abrahamic Declaration is but a shameful writ of Bigotry."
  • The Prison Island and Articles 2, 4 and 6: One of the larger discussions was that to many in higher Senates it seems evident that our Prison and Punishment System and the MCUR seem to be at odds in several places. Espeacilly sending criminals to a prison island and only providing limited resources as punishment has come to be seen as in odds with 3 Articles in Total. The Consensus so far seems to indicate most Senates are willing to rectify this, claiming the Prison Island to be a relic of the Past to start with, and in dire need of change.
  • Same Sex Marriage & the Emperor: It seems there is a large majority in Favor of changing the Laws to allow same Sex Marriage, stating that the Taxation benefits come into effect only if a couple has children already. The Sentiment seems to lie with it simply being unnecessary to police something that belongs in the realms of faith, not Government. The only Issue arises from the Emperors Duty conflicting here, the Senates choosing their Groom or Bride  being the Price for the Power they gain.
  • Article 13: This seems to be the largest issue. The Senates seem to whole heartedly reject the Idea of Gender Change being possible. Saying that the current half measure modern medicine is capable of  is just a Faksimile and not enough to name it Gender Change. Not to mention that the whole article seems to go by the Assumption that Gender Identity and Biological Sex being different, while most Senates claim it is an English centric view and issue, born from a language that makes an unnecessary distinction. Which leads to the next issue most Senates seem to have a lot of heated arguments about, the legislature without gender. Most speakers seem to agree that whoever wrote the MCUR seems to desire to impose themselves over grown languages, imploring such efforts to have always failed.
  • Right to Education:While most are in agreement with the sentiment the article tries to make, the senates implore that parents would be able to claim the right to home school from the MCUR in accordance with sub article 15.3 , which is currently not allowed in the Empire.


These are the hottest issues Discussed in accordance with the MCUR right now, we will keep our readers updated on the progress.


On an additional note, we do wish to thank the Youth senates to have stayed on course and respect the Emperors wishes, the only punitive actions having been taken during the current Debates where due to thoughtless pranks, and not breaking the rules of speaking.

Elder Senate intends to invite foreign Experts Group to find a way to amend MCUR Issues, should the Vote pass







Neu Uburzis Stadt, 24.09.2023



With the general Vote on whether or not the Empire should try and become MCUR conforming looming on the horizon, the Elder Senate has passed a Motion to invite an Expert Group from several Signatory Countries should the Vote go ahead. It stands to reason that there might be more issues or smaller changes necessary the Senates currently haven't recognized or not seen.



"We wish to ensure that should the vote be a Yes, we are ready to take actions and not sit idle again. I can see the whole Vote still failing though. There's some issues that are a hard pill to swallow for the Uburzians, and our Prison system si the least controversial Topic." - has been said by one of the elder Senators after a lengthy session.

Another one, Elder Hohenrod, has been overheard with the following statement:

"While it seems premature, i am just glad the Elder Senate is functional and working again. The now vacant seats are also back up soon for new members, so we will see more change this year."








Niameck withdraws the application to host Empress Tourney







Niameck, 24.09.2023



The City of Niameck has announced it will withdraw from the Race for Host Venue of the Empress Tourney. Stating that the city will not be able to adequately host two large scale Events at the same time safely.

"While we would have loved to see the Fight over the Emperors and the Nations heart in our City, the Fashion week would have clashed with the Security necessities. Though we strongly believe the Fashion week might still be part of the Schedule, seeing how important in the international Diplomacy the right choice of clothing has become."


The Empress tourney is expected to be officially announced on Emperor Orion's Nineteenth Birthday, though many Rumors about changed rules since the last one held for his Siblings are expected. Especially the Fact the Emperor has been quite open about his homosexuality in the past years, it stands to reason every woman to bear his children would have a hard time winning his heart.

Nonetheless our young Emperor had in the past stated several times, that he will fulfill his duty and obligation to the Nation and let them make this choice for him.

Neu Uburzis Zoo gains new Animal for Honey Badger day




Neu Uburzis City, 29.09.2023



The City Zoo has revealed that in one of it's former reptile houses a Honeybadger named Boor has moved in. According to the Zoo officials, the Animal has been found during a raid on an illegal animal trading ring. It is currently unclear where the animal has originated from, and genetic testing is under way to clarify where the Animal, if at all, could be returned to. The Zookeepers however have given raise to the probability that Boor might stay, as the animal seems to be too used to humans to allow attempts at returning it to the wild in its current condition.

It was also made clear the former reptile house has been picked for it's sturdy building style and strong walls, as Honey badgers are known to be quite the escape artists.

Gamsbärte e.V. falling behind in the Tour of Khelvakheli







Mktvartvelo, 2.10.2023



While the newcomer Team to the international Stage from Neu Uburzis had managed to score an early Stage victory, so far further success has not been achieved. Worse even, they lost who had been considered their strongest rider so far, Elsa Schwarzbach, when she couldn't finish the Race at Stage 2 already.

According to the Teams trainer, it was a simple case of mismanaging resources when you try to push yourself farther than you can, being quoted with:

"Elsa didn't want to disappoint everyone back at home, and at the first half of the race, gave her all. Unfortunately she pushed herself way to far, exhaustion catching her a little of guard. It might seem like a beginners mistake to those from the outside, but remember, we are exactly beginners on the international stage. None of us had participated in an event as large as these. Lessons will have to be learned, and expectations adapted. I just ask to not hound Elsa, she's miserable enough right now. The Team hopes for the best when the later stages are where Astrid should really be able to shine, as we get into the hard mountains at the end. Those are jsut her thing, much like the mountains back home."








Cult of Divinity claims revival of ancient Oracle







Föningen, 2.10.2023



Amidst the passing of Comet NR-2013 the in recent Years growing Cult of Divinity has released a Press Statement that their Oracle Sleepers had visions in the reconstructed Noniam Temple at Föningen.


The Initial small cult has grown in size since the opening of the Empire to the larger world due to their believes in Divine Mantling, where a mortal Human can become the host of a greater Divine. due to their ideals strongly disagreeing with most of the other cults, they traditionally had little impact on our society. Only with us getting in contact with Nations like Lodija, that claim Divine Monarchies, has the cult gained traction again. Their High Priest has claimed in the Past that he believes several of International Key Figures where 'Avatars' of the Divine aspects of the Universe.


Several of the younger members of the Cult have now spent the Night sleeping in the recently rebuild Temple during the Comet being visible above Neu Uburzis. The Cult Priests have then come together this morning and made a list of claims that the children and young adults had gained several Visions about the current state of Mundus. According to the Cult, the Visions have revealed the following:



The Kingdom of Lodija is currently graced by an Avatar of Femininity in the form of their current Queen, her Opposite being considered King Haydar of the Royal Seleucid as Avatar of Masculinity.


Emperor Orion is currently host to the Aspect of Renewal


King David Ironside of East Moreland, according to the cult, is the Avatar of Endurance


Jinny Denman as possessed by the Aspect of Delusion


and finally, they claim that Reverend Mother Erin McGregor is the Aspect of War.




the Palace has already released a statement that while everyone may believe as they wish, they denounce any claims of the Emperor being any kind of supernatural being.

Motion to undertake changes to the Empire underway, General Vote passed with 72% approval rating







Neu Uburzis City, 14.10.2023



It has taken almost the whole Week to gather and double check all the results from the General Vote, but the Results are Loud and clear. with an Approval rating of 72% the Empire has decided to go forth and start making changes to adapt ourselves to the MCUR.


A statement from Speaker Eidmeier reads:

"It will be a rocky road, and it won't go fast. But it is the right decision. This is of course, not us signing the MCUR yet. We are nowhere near ready to do so. The real work  has just begun."


While polls showed that the grievances some have against the MCUR and several passages are still there, most have accepted that the intend of the Document is more than reasonable.


A Senator from Sturmheim gave us the following statement:
"It's not perfect, but it's the best option we have. Most of the MCUR aligns with our culture, not striving to better ourselves at this point is just petty rambling."

Elder Senate and Regent adress the Situation in Mktvartvelo







Neu Uburzis Stadt, 28.10.2023


The Elder Senate and the Regent have released an official Statement about the Situation in Mktvartvelo, regarding their Religious reforms and international Reactions to them.

They both have made it very clear, that they simply already have no official relationship with the country, and depending on how the situation will develop, it will remain that way. Stating that the main reason for this decision, is less the reform itself, but the way their legislative Body attempts to shift blame and deny responsibility for any of their actions. We'll quote the Prince regent here:


"...but if you  make a law, review it, sign it, then you are responsible for the consequences it brings. Claiming that it is now in the Judicative's hands on their end is what really gives the situation a bad taste. You can't just order someone arrested by changing the letter of the law, and then blame the police for doing their job. That is on you. As much as we understand the desire to protect your populace from religious extremism, it feels more like a cheap excuse in this case. Especially after the current development we'll have to wait to and see if their intentions hold true, or if they are the duplicit Crooks they appear to be."


Elder Hohenrod, this time without her usual jovial attitude, added in later:

"We had all to recently our own issues with religion crossing a line, and I thank the Divine for what is now the Trinity church to weather the Storm of extremism and foreign meddling to become what they are now. The issue the Government in Mktvartvelo tries to tackle is a real one, and the Solution itself is not in and of it self bad. Yet the way they went about it reeks of ulterior motives, and not of honest compassion and worry. Had we acted the same way as them, Erik Schulz would rot in a Prison cell and not preach in the City temple right above the corpse of the young Man his failures had killed."


Grandmaster Erik Schulz has denied an interview request, though did send a statement that said:

"I do not wish to commit the same Mistake the Pope did when acting hastily and condemning without understanding. I will not make any further statements in this matter."







Invitations for the MCUR Experts expected to drop after the Emperor's Birthday festivities







Neu Uburzis Stadt, 28.10.2023



Several Members of Palace Staff and some Members of the Elder Senate have stated that it is expected that Invitations for Experts on the MCUR and international Law will be handed out shortly after the Emperors Birthday, assuming the Festivities to take Priority for now. It is speculated the attempt is being made to not overwhelm the Nation with too many changes at once, as well as prevent the image of trying to sneak the MCUR and changes to the Law past the public while most people are busy having fun.

Electric Airship Prototype unveiled among Test flights with E-Kerosene






Sturmheim, 10.11.2023




The northern Uburzian Airship Company "Himmelsee Werke" has revealed their newest Prototype, called "Pfadfinder '23" - an Airship fully driven by an electric Engine. The company has stated the desire to diversify their Products was part of the decision to divert some efforts to electric engines:

"In a World where it becomes clearer with every passing day that relying on a single technology or solution is a Pipe-dream destined to fizzle out we took precautions to keep the Uburzian Airship viable when eventually jet engines fueled by E-Kerosene will even become the norm in the Empire."

When asked to clarify that statement, the Himmelsee Werke have announced they are preparing Testflights with fully CO2 Neutral manufactured E-Kerosene in December, targeting to cross the Illumic and land in East Moreland:

"The goal is to gather additional Data on the Fuel's efficiency in actual flight. We have contacted EMAC for the possibility of joined tests, seeing that in this case sharing information should proof beneficiary for the both of us. Once the Leap for E-Kerosene is done we are sure that the decline of the Airships will start, even in the Empire. We need to be prepared for that."

Elder Senates drop a huge Bombshell during the Emperor's Birthday Celebrations






Neu Uburzis Stadt, 11.11.2023




The Nation has witnessed huge changes coming to the Empire in the next Year, announced during the live Broadcast of the Emperor's Birthday Celebrations. It has been announced that the Emperor will marry on this date next year, and the Partner the Nation will have voted for, so far nothing new.

What was new, however, was allowing foreigners to apply for the position, too.

The online registration Website has promptly crashed under the amount of applicants, while the Senates have reminded the Nation in an evening Broadcast that the actual Disciplines and Tests for the Empress-to-be are going to be revealed at the first of the new Year, once the Application Period closes.



There was, however, a second announcement made:

Effectively from that day on, the Elder Senates have signed the so called Same Sex Marriage into law. They have however noted, that there is no such thing as same sex marriage in law now, just marriage. Clarifying that in terms of tax reliefs, which only happen if you raise children, and inheritance or other laws, the both are considered equal and indistinguishable.

"We still expect these partnerships to challenge themselves with raising children to be members of Uburzian society, even if they might not be their own biological ones. Marriage is a tool, to ensure the functionality of society, with a purpose. Love was never part of that equation, even if the notion is admirable."

Many have speculated the Elder Senates considered the reveal a kind of Birthday Gift for the openly homosexual Emperor.



Which brings us back to the main topic, and a warning from us journalists to the young Women out there desiring to become Empress:

No matter how beautiful you think you are, how clever or righteous. Please do consider that the Emperor is, in fact, gay. Do not go into the competition with the delusion that you can Fix him, turn him to the light, or any other idea that he just haven't met the right person yet. Becoming his Wife is a duty to the nation, not some far fetched fairy tale love story.

Invitations sent out for MCUR Council




Neu Uburzis Stadt, 14.11.2023



While the Nation was mostly focused on other matters over the weekend, the Elder Senate had been more than busy. It has been publicized that invitations have been sent to several signatory Nations of the MCUR to send various lawmakers to the Empire. The goal of this Council is too understand and adapt the Issues the Empire currently sees, or maybe didn't yet see, in it's laws and law enforcement that prevent it to be conform with the MCUR. From what the Elder Senates have suggested, the invitation has been sent out to every current signatory nation, granting the Envoy the status of a Diplomat should the Empire currently have no Diplomatic relation with said Nation.


It is so far unclear how long the process will take, but the Senates have suggested it will not be a speedy process.







Early attention to some of the Bride Candidates




Neu Uburzis Stadt, 14.11.2023



the Applications to become the Empress are only up for one Weekend, and yet the social Networks have started discussing their current favorites already. Among the Candidates, these are the ones currently trending the most on social Networks:

Angelika Kubrik - the striking Daughter to the current Lord of the Conclave has been heavily discussed among the armed troops, likely due to her relation to her Father.

Sophia Anselmo - the Rokkenjiman Ambassador to Lodja has been a Hot Discussion Topic, especially since many wonder how Lodja would react if their newly minted Ambassador is busy chasing a Bachelor for almost a Year.

Irene Riesling - the currently most talked about local Prospect has many of her Fans wish her luck, while others blame her for picking the Application only as second choice after her failed career.

(Noble Lady) Shin Areum - the surprising dark Horse in this Race. While utterly atypical for the usual choice, aside from Sebastian von Uburzis' Mother, the Public has talked about the grace and mystique the Noble Lady carries herself with very frequently.



Of course none of this is bound to say anything yet, with many applications still to be expected as the Uburzian Hairdressers are booked out until the end of next month, equal to many photographers. All while the Palace has stayed entirely quiet on the matter.

Elder Senate praises Nya Aland Military Leaders




Neu Uburzis Stadt, 22.12.2023



The Elder Senate has decided to Voice their opinion on the Situation in Nya Aland, and praise the current Leaders of the Military in their attempts to keep the Peace while holding their Democracy together.

"In difficult Times, when the very Foundation of their Nation shakes, the Nya Aland Military stands Vigilant to protect the Process and give no side their Favor. It is a rare sight to witness in times of turmoil, that the military does not grab power by overthrowing or attempting to coup the weakened governments, but stand their ground to protect democratic principles when unforeseen issues came up."

In addition to this Statement, the Elder Senate has declared it would offer the Current Leaders, Military or the Future Head Gothi, whoever it might be at the end, their support in the current times. The Imperial Ambassador in Nya Aland has been alerted to ensure any requests for aid are forwarded immediately.

The Elder senates closing statement reads as follows:

"In trying times, we must band together not over pretty words or empty treaties, but over action. Indifference is the enemy of all healthy democracies."








Prince Regent Albrecht backs up East Moreland in Dispute with Rokkenjima




Neu Uburzis Stadt, 22.12.2023


In a statement from the Palace, the Prince Regent has published an official statement of the current affairs:


"As current Regent to Emperor Orion, i must take a position in this Conflict.

Let me be very clear: There is no such thing as an Experiment from Northford. For all the Years i have been in this Position now, the Kingdom of East Moreland has always been approachable. Not once was the Path of Diplomacy ever barred between our Nations, even in times when we clearly differ in Views and Actions.

Unlike Rokkenjima, we have a Regent assigned for an underage Ruler. And i will be as blunt as to state that it shows. Not only in the Empress' thoughtless verbal attacks on one of the greatest Soft Powers on all of Mundus, but in her proposal for the so called concerts of democracies as well. The Proposal manages to be equally naive and imposing, thus should have been a school essay and not an international proposition.

I sincerely hope for the future stability of all of Mundus she will refrain from such thoughtless publications in the future.


Prince Albrecht von Uburzis"

Himmelstadt, 22.12.2023


Following a secretive Vote between the remaining Candidate Cities for hosting the upcoming Choosing of the Emperor's Bride, Himmelstadt has been selected. The smaller City, home town to the current High Priest of Death, had been able to provide a large enough plot of Land now settled with a large amount of small wooden Huts that will house the Bride Applicants. The Scenic Hillside had been an abandoned Bungalow Complex in recent years, and had been redeveloped with  the Wooden houses over the last weeks.

"We have put many extra security meassures in place in and around the complex due to the nature of some of the applicants, and added a perimeter around the area during the contest." The Local Mayor announced

Neu Uburzis Stadt, 25.12.2023



As it has been tradition for many years now, the Palace is hosting Orphans from all over the Empire during this day, granting them the atmosphere of a loving home sharing in the family spirit with the Emperor and his nieces and nephews.

When approached by some of our Reporters about the next weeks, he said:

"I just hope she will be ready to host together with me next year. This is important for those unfortunate to not have a family of their own. I lost a large part of my family when i became the Emperor, i hope to give at least some of the support i had at the time to others. Though you'll have to excuse me, there'S a private tour through my gallery for some of the interested ones, and today, they take priority over the press."

Prince Augustin & the other Imperial Children seen at Freestone Festival



Freestone, East Moreland, 3.1.2024



It came as a surprise to our Journalists covering the Freestone festival that they spotted our very own Prince Augustin among the the crowd. We had been able to talk a few lines to him before he returned to a small party group together with Princess Rhiannon and other Children that had the opportunity to pick the Acts on the Children'S stage this Year. When asked if we'd see him on stage, the prince replied that

"This is not my festival, for once the stage should be for the music acts and the ones who had picked them. It's Mary Orson's and the other young hero's day, not the day of a foreign prince in a bunny costume. I did bring some funds from my allowance with me to the festival, though. They will get added to the Leukemia fund since it's a topic dear to Princess Rhiannon and myself."

While he avoided the stage himself, we did witness him unable to avoid some attention. Augustin got at least a couple autograph requests for his voice acting as Schnuffelchen and as side Character in Stoffel.

Though the real surprise was that aside from him, where the other Imperial Nieces and Nephews, where spotted among the crowd, too. While mostly hidden among the crowd and attempting to be mostly incognito, we did recognize Kurt von Uburzis and his Wife overseeing the whole range of youngsters. We of course left them alone, as we believe the family took solace from the hectic the Bride choosing must cause at home. We did however notice that aside from Augustin most of the others kept to themselves. Only notable exception was Sebastian von Uburzis, who had a spontaneous Violin contest with other musicians around his age.

Parents Concerned about Holmgang Memes




Nordberg, 13.2..2024



Concerned Parents spoke in the Senates about a surge of so called Memes containing a stylized depiction of the East Moreland Princess Rhiannon with the caption "Holmgang!" right below it. They urge the nations other Parents to better Control what their offspring posts and shares across social media platforms, especially if it suggests another child to take part in deadly combat.

The original artist of the Picture that currently circulates has for now privated their online gallery, at least until after this has blown over. Though we do have a written statement from his parents:

"Our Son deeply apologizes for what his picture has been used as. He did not add the Caption to the Picture, it was simply a stylized imagination of the Princess in her Viking dress from the Festival of sail. He did not wish for his work to be used in such demeaning and disrespectful way and is currently struggling with tons of death threats from all over the world. Please understand that for now he is hiding with some of our relatives. Please do not try to contact him, he is going through enough right now."
