Vignettes / The Dreamtime | Stories From Indigenous Sutherland
« on: October 17, 2017, 12:26:19 PM »



The Dreamtime is a term devised by early Ardian Colonists to refer to a semi-religious and cultural worldview attributed to Indigenous Sutherian beliefs. The Dreaming is used to represent many Indigenous concepts of "time out of time," or "everywhen," when the land was inhabited by ancestral figures, often of heroic proportions or with supernatural abilities. They were often distinct from the "gods" of much more modern faiths, as they did not control the material world and were not worshipped, but only being revered.

Many of the stories from the Dreamtime were often used to explain Indigenous connections to ancestors and their native lands, such as the formation of geographic features or reasons for natural occurrences. The Indigenous Sutherians had no fully developed systems of writing before the Ardian Empire arrived, so the stories contained in the Dreamtime were kept alive entirely by millennia-old oral tradition and dance. Despite most stories varying amongst the thousands of tribes, the Dreamtime is still a uniting symbol of Indigenous Sutherian culture that inspires all who hear it.

"The answer is dreams;
Dreaming on and dreaming on.
Entering the world of dreams and never coming out.
Living in dreams for all of time."

PRESIDENT TRUMAN MAKING STRIDES IN FIRST 100 DAYS

100 days ago today Malcum Truman of the Liberal Democratic Party was sworn into the office the President of Sutherland. He has wasted no time to implement domestic policies promised during his presidential campaign. He and the new government have implemented the 20% flat tax with a §30 000 threshold, as well as signing an executive order for the removal of sin taxes, which could see potential as a bill in the coming months. There are still many policies which are left on the president's to-do-list, however, including industry deregulations, giving states the power to impose taxes otherwise reserved to the federal government and pulling back funds from government climate change organisations to encourage private solutions.

On the international side of things, however, President Truman has been the most out-there president ever. Not since after the World War has any Sutherian administration undertaken any more diplomatic visits. President Truman is currently in the capital city of Communist Artyomov, Moscow, discussing ties between two unlikely nations with President Maxim Ivanoff. Many political commentators have criticized the president for this trip, commenting on how anti-communist the Liberal Democrats are.

President Truman made this statement on the meeting:

Quote
Despite ideological differences, I certainly don't believe this should be a barrier between two nations ability to communicate with one another diplomatically. Not unless any of their policies or actions infringe on the people or the nation of Sutherland, I see no reason for the government to walk by open doors.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Margaret Gillard has responded to a Rokkenjiman proposal for a Trans-Ardian Partnership and railway. The railway is set to run from Gowu, through Sutherland and all the way to Himeyama on the Horn of Ardia Sutherland has generally yearned for some form of a continental railway for quite some time, so the new government was quick to hop on the opportunity to partake in any discussions concerning the project.

Lastly, Vice President Max Howard will be travelling with Mountjoy to partake in the celebration of the Day of the Charge, celebrating the nations 350th birthday. This will hopefully be the last step in laying the foundations for Sutherian foreign diplomacy, where Sutherland will be able to establish worldwide connections with other countries. Once President Truman returns from Moscow, we can expect to see more from the president.

Vignettes / SANAC Stories | Stories Of Sutherian Soldiers From the World War
« on: October 12, 2017, 02:29:32 PM »



SANAC Day is a national day of remembrance in Sutherland which honours and respects the memories and contributions of those who suffered to protect the sovereignty and independence of Sutherland during the World War. During the World War, in which Sutherland was on the side of the Allies, many young men were encouraged to enrol in the SANACs (Sutherian Army, Naval and Air Corps) with promises of mateship and a chance to fight the good fight. Although before deployment the SANACs did develop a strong cultural mateship and patriotism, it didn't stop the reality of war from devastating the SANACs, them having amongst the highest number of casualties of the war, often for little to no gain.

Many of the SANACs were encouraged to write diaries, so that they may return to their quiet hometowns or families with their memories of glory. Unfortunately, however, many of them never returned at all. Many families were left to mourn the loss of their boys to conflict, only left with the diaries that their sons wrote personally handed to their families by their remaining SANAC mates. The diary entries of these brave young men now immortalise them forever within the heart of Sutherland, as we can now truly know what it is to serve your country, with faith, friends and duty.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

BACKGROUND

For about 50,000 years before the first Ardian settlement in the late 18th century, Sutherland was inhabited by indigenous Sutherians, who spoke languages classifiable into roughly 250 groups. After the Ardian discovery of the continent by explorers in 1606, Sutherland's eastern half was claimed by the Ardian Empire in 1750 and initially settled through penal transportation to the colony of New East Ardia from 26 January 1763. The population grew steadily in subsequent decades, and by the 1850s most of the country had been explored and an additional five self-governing crown colonies established.

After numerous disputes between the colonies and the Ardian Empire, New East Ardia and Kingsland declared independence from Ardia on 1 February 1901, which led to the subsequent Sutherian Revolution. The Sutherian Revolution lasted until 1913, where Sutherland, second only to Rokkenjima, was able to successfully rebel from the Ardian Empire.

Hey there guys, it looks like this place has changed up a lot. I formerly was known around here as Luvonia and for a brief time as Sutherland. I'll restart myself as Sutherland but it seems like all of the old stuff is gone. I guess I'll be getting to work!
