Diplomacy and Events / First Setri Summit: Fostering International Dialogue
« on: Today at 01:56:35 PM »

The Kingdom has noted the lack of a common diplomatic forum which has resulted in a fractured diplomatic stage. We have seen great powers relay their intent via Decree or, in recent times, through their respective Press Offices. All too often a series of events are initiated via such statements with talks taking place after the initial volley of proclaimed actions, a point at which matters of import are actually discussed. Perhaps not since the days of the CTO have we enjoyed a common diplomatic forum; neutral ground upon which exchanges may take place to preclude disagreements, discord or, worse, armed conflict. It is the aim of the Kingdom to rectify this state of affairs and provide, once again, a common diplomatic forum on the global stage to decrease tensions before they flare, inhibit conflict before it erupts, and forge brotherhood throughout the community of nations.

To these ends I envision the formation of an International Dialogue Council (IDC) which would bring together diplomats from across Mundus, not only to address bilateral issues before they become crises between nations, but also to find common ground regarding common concerns and challenges which concern all nations. Indeed, in times where great concerns are before us we may discuss them proactively rather than the current state of affairs which so often sees reactionary action to any situation facing our world.

It would be my pleasure to welcome diplomats to the Assembly of Nomes which will host talks to establish the International Dialogue Council, declare the terms under which it will operate, and establish any other provisions determined by the nations assembled. I view the IDC as a beginning, not a final form; an institution which can prove itself and perhaps expand and evolve to serve the needs of the community of nations as time moves forward. Lodgings will be provided in the City of Setri for the duration of the Summit.

Kikyo nodded respectfully, "The pleasure is mine," she would continue with a grin before being lead aside. "You look well," Beatrice said to Nettie as they were taken to their seats, "I must admit I do miss our evening chats from our time together in the Imperial Government, discussing matters of import, you were perhaps my favourite Premier to work with. All said, it's so good to see you're doing well," she continued with a smile as they were seated, before glancing over to their neighbours. Beatrice looked to Lucinda with an eyeroll, "Seriously?" she mouthed, to which Lucinda responded silently "behave yourself Bea, kill her with kindness." Understanding the assignment Beatrice waved to Ketevan with the brightest smile she could muster before returning her attention to Lucinda. "Will that suffice?" she asked, to which Lucinda shook her head offering a smirk.

Asuna, meanwhile, having taken notice of the conversation between the two looked over and motioned for them to cease with a firm gaze and a single motion of her right hand.

"And the least surprising surprise of the year goes to," Sophia said with a chuckle.

"It was a fun time," Kikyo replied, "still proud of what we accomplished there too. Once our generation takes hold I'm confident that things will go so much more smoothly, especially knowing what Asuna has in mind."
"It is, thank you," Akasha said with a smile. "I hope we'll have a chance after the festivities to conduct some business here in the Holy Empire as we're entering another cycle of procurement, and I'm certain there's areas where your producers can fill the needs we're looking to address."

McKenna: Present Measures To Remain In Place


"As the Empress stated movement will first take place on the Mktvartvelo side of the equation; present measures will remain in place until we see something there."

"It is an unfortunate situation," Imperial Liaison for Foreign Affairs Gregory McKenna stated to the RBC, "however, the Empress has set forth a path for a return to normal trade relations between the First Empire and the Unitary State: publicly present the provisions of the Act which were allegedly violated, rescind the travel advisory and sanctions against Empress Saisei, and take the first step in the reduction of tariffs. Dependent upon those developments then we may see reciprocation and, if discussions in the Imperial Diet are accurate, we may see an amendment to the Mktvartvelo Trade Act which sees it recast as a more general "Trade Powers Act." In the defense of Rokkenjiman interests abroad the Empress considered her actions, made the decisions which needed to be made, and will stand by them until the conditions which demanded their implementation are remedied. The cart shall not come before the horse."

While the Empress and the Anselmo Family are in Valtheim for the wedding of Empress Serenity and Princess Euphemia McKenna has been entrusted by the Empress, given the presence of Vicegerent Ravenswood in Valtheim for the wedding, to handle the day-to-day affairs of the Imperial Government in their absence. "As a Liaison of the Empress I am trusted to speak with her voice, this is a responsibility which I take most seriously," McKenna continued. "The fact of the matter is that there exists no risk to citizens of the Unitary State within Rokkenjiman borders, and the issuance of such an advisory only stokes the flames of fear which are most unhelpful in this current state of affairs. It was with reluctance that the Empress felt she was compelled to issue a reciprocal advisory against unnecessary travel to the Unitary State, as it was not a measure she had considered until the advisory was issued by the Unitary State."

"At the end of the day the Empress is charged with protecting the interests of the Rokkenjiman People globally, regardless of where they might be or their station in society, and I believe I can share her anticipation that this present period between the First Empire and the Unitary State may be placed behind us sooner rather than later. The Empress has relayed the conditions under which that process may start and remains resolute in her position that a change of course will not be coming in that regard. The Empress has made clear what needs to transpire for a change in the Rokkenjiman position, once those decisions are made and relayed she is prepared to reciprocate in kind. Until that happens, however, expect present measures to remain firmly in place."

The Imperial Ryūsei.

Asuna, Thomas, Beatrice, Alex, Lucius, Kikyo, Evanthe, Sophia, Emerson and Lucinda touched down at Valtheim International upon the Imperial Ryūsei. Kikyo's presence wouldn't be publicly highlighted, though it would be explained as to not raise any eyebrows; perhaps something tied to her performance at the Youth Diet? Regardless the Anselmos were pleased to be in Valtheim for a most joyous occasion.

Meanwhile Pharaoh Akasha Di-‘nh-mi-Re and Nasser Safavid followed just behind hand in hand, which Asuna motioned toward her mother, "I guess the "professional relationship" was just a break?" Beatrice sighed, "Now, let's not speculate, it isn't in good form yes?"

Upon conditions which would see the Unitary State rescind its travel advisory and sanctions against the First Empire and Empress Saisei, as well as reducing tariffs against businesses based in the First Empire of Rokkenjima, the First Empire would duly consider and likely implement likewise measures toward the Prime Minister in kind.

The First Empire would be willing to match movements by the Unitary State if they are initiated there, but as I remain faithful that the, so to say, original sin is not ours, I will take no reductionary actions until they are enacted by ther Unitary State first. If they rescind the actions against Councillor Saisei, should they reduce tariffs to a lower level I would be willing to match their efforts. The initiative must be upon them, however; I will take no action absent of their action. They will move, or we won't; it is that simple."

Pharaoh Acquires Former Eleanor, Seeks Out AADC For Her Planes


The former Rokkenjiman aircraft carrier Eleanor will field Achkaerinese aircraft if the Pharaoh has her way.

Whilst the Kingdom of Clysperis has inked a deal to secure a former Rokkenjiman aircraft carrier to join the Royal Clysperi Fleet Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re has indicated that the Kingdom would look to the Holy Empire to supply the planes which will take off from her decks. "The future RCN Shu might be Rokkenjiman in her origin, yet given our partnership with the Achkaerinese aerospace industry, and their fielding of similar carriers, we are looking to their capacity to provide the planes which will launch from her," the Pharaoh shared with CSMC. "Although we sought a nuclear carrier initially the Eleanor Class fulfills our requirements for a second carier and, as we met a most favourable deal with the First Empire in acquiring her, I feel that this deal is one we may all be happy with, even if she is not nuclear," the Pharaoh continued.

The Pharaoh, through her negotiation experience, secured the sale of the former Eleanor for र1; in return the IRN will receive rights to refuel and resupply at Clysperi ports, and to temporarily be stationed in Clysperi ports for so-called "pre-positioning" operations. "Rokkenjima is providing the foundation," the Pharaoh stated, "Achkaerin will provide the remaining pieces. This is a win for Clysperis," the Pharaoh continued, "as we are now the only Midaranye state to field two operational aircraft carriers abroad; combining Rokkenjimanm shipping with the expertise of Achkarinese naval aviation grants us the best of both worlds. I promised you all that we would regain our rightful place, to position power wherever the Gods determine power must be positioned, yes? This deal, with Rokkenjima and our intention to acquire yet more from Achkaerin, I have delivered," the Pharaoh added.

Empress Issues Sanctions Against Mktvartvelo Officials


.

The Empress imposed personalized sanctions against Prime Minister Brdzeni Kvirkvelia and First Deputy Minister Otar Nasidze, both of the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo, following the implementation of sanctions against Councillor Anselmo by the Unitary State. "With immediate effect I issue sanctions upon Prime Minister Brdzeni Kvirkvelia, which shall include a ban of any travel to the First Empire of Rokkenjima or any overseas territory or other such jurisdiction under Chrysanthemum Throne, suspensions of any company, business entity or organization tied to this sanctioned individual from partaking in any economic activities within the First Empire, as well as the freezing of any and all assets associated with the sanctioned individual under any soil which is ruled by Chrysanthemum Throne. Furthermore, the First Empire will be imposing sanctions upon products from third-party shores at a rate of 35% for any product which contains components from the Unitary State regardless of the percentage of said components in the final product upon its arrival to Rokkenjiman shores."

The Empress also discounted the Travel Advisory issued by the Unitary State as "an exercise undertaken purely in political theatre; it is not the People of Mktvartvelo that we find ourselves in quarrel with, it is those in power who use that power to wrongfully attack Rokkenjiman businesses and interests abroad. I will continue to protect the interests of every Rokkenjiman, regardless of their station in society and as I speak in the defense of my mother today know that I would speak with the same veracity on behalf of the poorest amongst us, for my charge is the entirety of our populace. I am, unfortunately, mandated to advise all Rokkenjimans against unneccesary travel to the Unitary State, as well as advising against investments in the economy of the Unitary State as the security of your investments cannot be guaranteed by the Imperial Government; in a moment, they could sieze your contributions at their whim, and I will not see any Rokkenjiman engaging in that sort of gambling."

"The Unitary State has one window to ensure that our permanent state of relations is not that of adversaries," the Empress continued. "They may, for once to date, state publicly the provisions of the Act which Abstergo is alleged to have offended and allow Abstergo an opportunity to act upon their concerns, or they may continue their opaqueness and relegate themselves to the fate ensured by that path. The First Empire will not back down," the Empress continued, "we have the capacity to absorb any economic measure the Unitary State looks to leverage against us; our economy is robust and amongst the largest across Mundus, after all. We'll either have an honest conversation or else we'll utilize every economic hammer in our tool set against the Unitary State, and I'm confident in our odds if it should move to that stage. Take the opportunity to talk while it still exists, or don't; I am beyond this drama and whether or not it ends in reconciliation or us throwing down on you with an elbow to your figurative neck is likewise beyond my capacity to care."

These measures will remain in place and will be reviewed, and reconsidered, as developments unfold.

Risako Conducts Port of Call To Setri


Risako will spend the next three days in Clysperis, according to a source from Imperial High Command.

The Eleanor Class supercarrier IRN Risako will spend the next three days visiting the port city of Setri in the Kingdom of Clysperis as a port of call for the carrier strike group in its routine patrols of the Great Northern Sea. Both Imperial High Command and the Imperial Rokkenjima Navy have stated the present tensions between the First Empire and the Unitary State had "absolutely nothing to do" with the deployment, indicating that the visit was planned "months in advance" prior to the present state of affairs. "We have seen interest from the Kingdom in acquiring a flat top," one official said on condition of anonymity, "and this port of call allows them a look at what they may one day consider, given the ex-IRN Eleanor is presently being considered for sale or scrap. Eleanor remains a fine ship, her capacity would be befitting of the Kingdom of Clysperis and its interests abroad and, naturally, we would provide the necessary planes for sale to see a continued evolution of the capabilities of the Royal Clysperi Naval Air Wings," the source continued.

The port of call comes as tensions between the First Empire and the Unitary State are reaching heights not seen since a port of call of an Imperial Battleship to the Kingdom of Clysperis. "The IRN does not consider political situations in our decisions for ports of call," a spokesperson for the Imperial Rokkenjiman Navy shared with the RBC. "Our sailors have one mission, the preservation of Rokkenjiman interests and their preservation regardless of national borders. This potential partnership between the IRN and the RCN has the potential to change the course of relations in Northern Cotf Aranye, and we will continue to pursue an equitable status quo in the North. Following our R&R the Imperial and Royal Navies will conduct joint exercises in the Gulf of Safraen, and I am looking forward to a successful cooperative effort between our forces, even as we seek to "sink" each other," the source said with a smile.

Empress Suspends Normal Trade Relations With Mktvartvelo


"The First Empire will not play by the rules of enchanted foreign powers which utilize lawfare against the interests of any Rokkenjiman party" the Empress stated as she suspended normal trade relations between the First Empire and the Unitary State.

The Empress has suspended normal trade relations between the First Empire of Rokkenjima and the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo under powers granted to her by the Mktvartvelo Trade Act. "This entire affair has seen one Rokkenjiman business targeted by a foreign government in the most opaque of manners, a fact which I could not ignore upon the passage of the Act," the Empress shared with the RBC. "This suspension of normal trade relations is a first, not final, step; depending on developments within the Unitary State I will consider, and take, further measures accordingly, including the implementation of a 75% tariff upon all goods from the Unitary State as well as restricting any services provided by an entity within the Unitary State from being provided in Rokkenjiman borders. If these unfair practices do not end I will see a 100% tariff imposed on goods from the Unitary State as well as the levying of individual sanctions against the key figures of the Unitary State which have brought us to this point."

"The First Empire will not play by the rules of enchanted foreign powers which utilize lawfare against the interests of any Rokkenjiman party, we will defend the interests of our people against a process which has never been fair in the first place. As Empress I've seen Rokkenjiman law compared to Mktvartvelian law, and I can say with all confidence that our protections are superior to theirs. The very fact that not even I can access the contents of any Abstergo device points to a malicious intent of the Unitary State in their persecution of Abstergo Industries. Should the Supreme Court render a verdict which supports the position of the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information I will fully utilize all the tools provided by this legelsation to protect Rokkenjiman interests abroad; I will, always, protect the interests of my People first and foremost.

I will also ask my closest of family and friends to enact similar measures against the Unitary State as, as I see it, this is little more than a direct economic attack against a business based in Rokkenjima. I hope that saner heads prevail in the Unitary State; I wish for relations, for trade and commerce between our Peoples but it will not be done upon a tilted scale. Do not force me to use the tools which have just been handed to me, for the outcome will not be in your favour."

Councillor Anselmo Proposes Mktvartvelo Trade Act


"The Imperial Government must recognize when a market is unfair and act accordingly," Councillor Anselmo stated.

Councillor Anselmo has proposed the "Mktvartvelo Trade Act" which would suspend normal trade relations between the First Empire and the Unitary State "until such a time the Unitary State ceases unfair practices in their market." The Act would grant the Empress the authority to enact, and rescind, a suspension at her discretion "based upon conditions as they exist and as they develop over time." In addition to the suspension of normal trade relations the Empress would have the authority to enact tariffs against goods as well as restrictions upon services based in the Unitary State. Councillor Anselmo explained that placing these tools in the hands of the Empress were necessary when dealing with partners who engage with Rokkenjiman firms in bad faith.

"Over the course of this drama between Abstergo Industries and the Unitary State it has become clear that Mktvartvelo does not represent a free market, and the Imperial Government must recognize when a market is unfair and act accordingly. Markets which target the businesses of one nation over others who offer similar products and services are inherently unfair, especially those who extort those they choose to target. Rokkenjima has a long memory, we remember the days when foreign nations such as the Ardian Empire sought to harm our interests abroad in their long attempts to bring Rokkenjima to heel. The First Empire will always stand as an advocate for the interests of its People and will not stand idly by in cases where those interests are infringed upon."

When asked if she was concerned that the Unitary State may take reciprocal action if the Act is passed Councillor Anselmo shrugged. "Access to the Rokkenjiman market is more lucrative for the Unitary State than our access to their market. If they continue to single out Rokkenjiman firms under the guise of enforcing law, I don't see that as something which would compel Rokkenjiman businesses from wishing to operate in that market in the first place. There is no harm in granting the Empress a toolset to deal with unfair markets, stating that, it is my hope that she will not have to utilize those tools in the first place. The lack of those tools, however, would enable this sort of unfair behaviour and extortions in the future and that is something we have the opportunity to address today."

Coordination Begins For Clysperis-Abstergo Partnership


Naser Safavid has been tasked with overseeing the process of further engagement between the Kingdom and Abstergo.

Following a meeting with a team from Abstergo Industries in Setri which will be home to Abstergo North Mr. Safavid said that the process was "moving along well. Following the previous exchange between Abstergo and the Unitary State it is my understanding that they withdrew much of their presence from that market beyond a handful of retail outlets. This has made the process for us easier while allowing Abstergo to start with a fresh page as it looks to establish a permanent presence in the north." Beyond their offerings in the consumer market Mr. Safavid confirmed that the Abstergo Financial Group had been cleared to begin operations in Clysperis, in addition to securing investments in a variety of projects throughout the Kingdom.

"In Clysperis the markets, not the government, determines those who win and those who lose," Mr. Safavid continued. "We saw in Soviet times what markets become when dominated by government interference and can contrast the results to those heralded by my partnership with Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re. I think that this entire affair across the Gulf offers a lesson to foreign businesses considering operations in the region; they may operate in a free and open market or one in which their operations could be threatened by an entrenched bureaucracy whose interests depend on the feelings of the state. Just as with Abstergo, we look forward to forging more mutually beneficial partnerships with businesses from across Mundus."

Pharaoh Welcomes Abstergo To Clysperis


Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re entertained a representative from Abstego Industries earlier this week.

"We're just on the other side of the Gulf of Safraen, and we'd love your business and investments, unlike some," Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re said as she rubbed elbows with a representative from Abstergo Industries who visited the Kingdom to open negotiations for the establishment of a northern headquarters for Abstergo Industries. She has not been shy about the prospects which the Kingdom and Abstergo could cooperate, including the construction of a modern, and safe, nuclear power plant to replace the Soviet era installation which has proven to be a bane to the Kingdom in recent times. "Clean Abstergo energy, powering Abstergo technological advancement across the land of the Pharaohs, while enriching the Clysperi economy yet further? The potential for both of us in that endeavour cannot be overstated," the Pharaoh continued in her pitch whilst revealing her own aOS device. "In Clysperis we have a dedicated work force, in Abstergo they've the need for labour as well as consumers; matches made in heaven are rarely made, but if our neighbours will not embrace opportunity when it knocks, Clysperis will."

In discussions with Abstergo the Pharaoh advised them to "pay not one cent" to Mktvartvel. "What will they do when you decline to pay 70% of the court fees; invade Rokkenjima? Just one of their carrier strike groups could quell their dissent," she jokingly stated. "Unlike those across the pond Clysperis recognizes economic potential, as well as the potential for growth, and it is in that which we welcome Abstergo to invest in the Kingdom and enjoy open access to the Clysperi market. The transference of assets from Mktvartvel to Clysperis would see Abstergo absolved of these witch hunts while allowing innovation to continue unimpeeded; in the Kingdom Abstergo will find open fields and open minds to progress, instead of countless red tape which only seeks to stifle innovation and progress. Through a mutually beneficial partnership we'll see the advances realized which Abstergo is seeking to provide, and through that process we'll realize mutual benefit."

The CSMC reached out to Abstergo for comment on their visit with the Pharaoh. "Abstergo Industries enjoyed a productive meeting with Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re, one which gives us hope in the Northern continents and engaging with those markets. We will take the advice of the Pharaoh under consideration and will keep our options open moving forward. We look forward to doing business with the Kingdom of Clysperis and expanding our operations northward. We thank the Pharaoh for her time, as well as her forward-looking position on new and emerging technologies."

Absergo Files Appeal To The Supreme Court

Abstergo Industries is understandably disappointed by the ruling of the Ktsatskuri Second High Court and maintains that the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information is decidedly wrong and, perhaps, biased. On this basis Abstergo Industries have appealed to the Supreme Court of Mktvartvelo and hopes to secure a balanced, and just, ruling on this matter.

Abstergo Industries is the only foreign corporation which has faced the scrutiny and wrath of the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information despite other foreign firms being involved in the same markets as Abstergo. Take for example Arasaka and their offerings via its Hinode large language model, its Arasaka Assistant and Kaibyo digital assistant, both of which perform similar duties as Lexa while offering similar on-board capabilities which see no data connection required to function. Yet, despite operating in this same market space, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information has taken no action against Arasaka; it's campaign has been directed solely against Abstergo Industries.

To operate in the market spaces which Abstergo does we are required to adhere to the Consumer Privacy and Protections Act of 2017 which places an outsized emphasis on the privacy and security of data which our customers choose to share with us. The Privacy Policy under which our services are operated is considered amongst the highest of standards, whilst Empress Asuna has proven that Abstergo maintains, of its own volition, the implementation of Informed Consent Prompts demanded in the domestic Rokkenjiman market but not in markets abroad, ensuring that our customers in foreign markets opt-in, not out of, agreements regarding the storage and processing of their data. Furthermore, through the Secured Integrated Memory Processor (SIMP) most data processing occurs on-device and never interacts with Abstergo servers and, in the cases in which it does, it is anonymized to such a degree it cannot be tied to any single aID. I would again remind everyone that the SIMP was designed so that not even Abstergo itself could access the contents within the chip; it serves as a secure enclave which we could not breach even if ordered to do so by the Imperial Government itself.

It is unfortunate that state attorney Merab Chigogidze sees this as some sort of victory when, what it really is, is a decision which stifles innovation. Every new technology has faced troglodytes, yet I believe this is the first instance of such fear of new technologies being aligned against just one innovator when those in the Empire of Fusan and the Holy Empire of Achkaerin are involved in the same market space as Abstergo. This witch hunt against Abstergo must end, and I remain confident that we will prove our case to the Supreme Court and walk away vindicated. Abstego has built a suite of products which serve the greater good of its users, it has put into place beyond ample protections for its customers in every product it releases, and I could share with the Ministry of Telecommunications and Trade the number of times data has been requested from Abstergo by national governments only for them to be refused because we ensured such requests would be impossible for us to carry out by design.

Should similar actions not be enacted by the Ministry of Telecommunications and Trade against firms in other nations who operate in this same market space it only serves to  bolster the position of Abstergo Industries that these actions against Abstergo are taken with prejudice, and we will explore every legal action at our disposal in ensuring that justice, not the corruption which has heralded itself as justice, ultimately prevails.

Clysperi Economy Marks Another Record Year


Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re praised the recent economic report as "continued proof of the Clysperi economic miracle."

Delivering on her promises to raise the standards of living of the Clysperi People Pharaoh Akasha Di-‘nh-mi-Re praised recent reports which showed that the Clysperi economy grew at a real rate of 57%, from  Đ397.2bn to Đ623.7bn, with a new GDP per capita at Đ17.4k. While representing a continued slow-down from the record setting growth of 65.59% in 2022 Pharaoh Akasha Di-‘nh-mi-Re said that the growth "represents the continued advancement of the Kingdom of Clysperis and our reclamation of our rightful place in Mundus. The godless Soviets impoverished our people, using our resources to line their own pockets, but today we are ensuring that our wealth remains in our lands, to benefit our people; this growth is merely the result of a release of the pent-up potential of the Clysperi people. Through projects here at home, to future plans to further solidify Clysperis' future growth, I promise you all that we are on the right path." The Pharaoh stated that increased business between the Kingdom and the First Empire of Rokkenjima had a net positive effect on the Clysperi economy.

"They represent one of the largest economies on Mundus," she began, "and with investments into the Clysperi economy following the dismantling of sanctions against Clysperis we've enjoyed partnerships with Abstergo and other Rokkenjiman firms which have boosted not only Setri, but the Clysperi economy as a whole. Rokkenjimans are increasingly turning to Clysperis as a tourist destination, with Blue Star Lines offering dedicated services from Rishiri directly to the Kingdom. Tourism revenue is, in some cases, up 128% from years prior to the Great Pyramids of Nafu, bolstering our economic position yet further. As we move forward from the era of conflict with Rokkenjima and those aligned with them, the Kingdom is looking to increase its economic relationships with states such as Tytor and Fusan as well."

Pharaoh Akasha Di-'nh-mi-Re also noted both the Kingdom and the Empire as potential sources for future Clysperi arms procurements. "After seeing our success against the Kusanese the Kingdom is pursuing a second aircraft carrier, preferably nuclear powered, so that we may possess further capacities to aid the world around us. I believe that we may benefit from securing contracts with firms in the Kingdom and the Empire towards that end, whilst dispelling past notions that the Kingdom is on the wrong end of the equation toward solving international problems. I would welcome delegations from both nations to continue talks in those regards, as well as to show them the hospitality of the Clysperi People and nation. Between us, I feel the future is for us to write, and beyond the spheres of defence I am certain that there are more opportunities toward the mutual benefit of our Peoples and nations."

Sugano Supporters Surround Pyrettania Courthouse Where Sugano Trial Was To Begin


Some outside the courthouse carried signs and banners which read "Make Azukishima Great Again".

Despite a strong presence of Imperial Provincial Police the start date of the trial has been pushed back, citing "security concerns" after a large crowd of Sugano supporters filled the streets outside of Pyretannia Central Court. Increased security protocols were implemented with those gathered instructed to return home and "cease the causation of civil unrest." At the half-hour mark of those orders being issued officers dispensed tear gas and crowd control munitions which saw many disperse from the area, while resulting in the arrests of at least 50 individuals who resisted to comply with lawful orders. The Empress, who is presently abroad, briefly returned to the United States where she spoke with Rokkenjiman officials as the developments unfolded.

Another incident involving those carrying MAGA insignia occurred in Kavania Prefecture on the border with Fusan. Individuals identifying themselves as "Brigade One" presented themselves in tactical gear while concealing their faces. "We haven't forgotten how the Empress responded to Fusanese incursions into Rokkenjima," one man, identifying himself only as 哲学者 (English: Philosopher) shared with the RBC. "What was demanded of that moment was a swift, immediate and devastating counter-attack, one which would prevent any Fusanese from ever daring to attack the First Empire for generations to come. Instead the Empress bent her knee, dressing it up as "preserving peace." Preserving peace? The bastards attacked us, they then attacked us again, unprovoked, in Shōkan Prefecture which saw an equally weak response from the Empress. She might be the daughter of Saisei, but she is no Saisei; as such, me and the boys have decided to stand watch at the border." As our conversation continued servicemembers of the Imperial Rokkenjiman Ground Forces arrived.

"Locals informed of a disturbance on the border," Rikugun-Shōshō Suzuki said as the Philosopher was seen having his weapons confiscated in the background, "some thought this outfit might be remnants of the Federal Republic, that's not important though," he said as he pointed to a weapon being confiscated from the Philosopher. "Those aren't allowed in civilian hands, nor are militias under Imperial Law. We are working alongside IRIS as these elements present themselves and, luckily for us, they're [explitive removed] stupid." The Imperial Palace coordinated the move of the IRGF toward the Fusanese border with their counterparts in the Empire to ensure there were no misconceptions as to their presence on the border. Whilst those with the Philosopher were initially resistive the IRAF quickly ensured compliance as they conducted low-level flights of HA-52s.

The Imperial Palace had indicated that it is on the verge of declaring the "Make Azukishima Great Again" movement a recognized enterprise under the Terrorist Enterprises Act while declaring that the "trial of Sugano will continue regardless of the interference his supporters are attempting. Secured facilities are available for these purposes and will be utilized to ensure that the process of justice is not delayed by such acts of civil disobedience. The conduct we've seen of those prolcaiming a MAGA allegiance do not align with that of a lawful Rokkenjiman citizen; their implementation of intimidation against the lawful conduct of the Imperial Government, which acts on behalf of the Rokkenjiman People, will not be allowed to succeed. Sugano will face trial, he will face justice, and those who seek to derail the legal processes of this First Empire will not be allowed to succeed."

For Immediate Release
November 18, 2024

To ensure the safety and health of the Rokkenjiman People the following actions have been enacted via Imperial Ordinance during the present recess of the Imperial Diet:

  • The social media platform known as "Tiktok" shall be banned within Rokkenjiman borders. App stores shall not offer it for purchase or download, existing copies on users devices will not be maintained via updates or any measures which would ensure their continued compatibility with future versions of the software, and any IP addresses associated with Tiktok will be blacklisted by ISPs based in the First Empire of Rokkenjima.
  • Individuals under the age of 16 shall be precluded from engaging with any social network. It will be upon social media companies to verify the ages of their users, with those allowing those under the age of 16 upon their platforms facing legal action from the Ministry for Justice.
  • Any social media platform, messaging service or image hosting service which facilitates the unwarranted sharing of images of so-called "dick pics" will be held accountable as accomplices to sexual misconduct and will share the same consequences as the perpetrator upon such sharings.
  • Educational settings will seek to educate Rokkenjima's youth on the risks of social media, its corrosive influence on the health of society as a whole, while providing tools to our youth to ensure they may recognize disinformation as well as those who spread it. We will not allow the body politic of Rokkenjima to be infected by the parasite mind virus that is misinformation.

Asuna thought for a moment and motioned for an aide who, after a few moments came back with a map. "Azukishima," she said pointing upon the map, "Tsukishima," she continued as her finger moved north, "Awhaele. Each one of us sat here represents proud maritime powers, thus, would it not be fitting that any sport we seek to adopt reflect our relationship with the waters around us?" she asked as she looked to her guests.

An Encrypted Communication To The Juglander Movement Of Citizens

The First Empire commends and congratulates the momentum and successes which the Juglander Movement of Citizens is accomplishing with the passing of each day. Furthermore, the Empress offers her congratulations to Teppo Paraske upon his election as General Coordinator. The First Empire will continue to stand at your side as this transformative movement continues its work to defend the voices of those who have put great faith in you.

The Imperial Government has authorized an additional र405.4m ($750m) to support your continued, and growing, operations.

It is only through strong partnerships and understanding that forces which would see the right to self determination quashed may succeed. When free peoples stand together the will of the People, wherever they may be, shall ultimately prevail. We look forward to your continued successes.

In friendship;


Imperial Liaison for Foreign Affairs
On behalf of Her Imperial Majesty Asuna

Madam Leader: They Told Us Who They Were


Madam Leader Anselmo spoke on Sugano and Teikokutō following the turmoil at the Imperial Diet.

"They called foreigners barbarians, they attacked my daughter and niece for their relationships, and let's not forget they called for foreigners to eventually be excluded from living in Rokkenjima. The attack upon the Imperial Diet for which Sugano has been charged, and many more will be charged for as we uncover their identities, represents an attack not only upon the Rokkenjiman Empire itself, but upon the very heart of our democracy; the Imperial Diet. For a brief moment we faced the most dangerous situation since the conclusion of the Second Patriotic War and, thanks to the actions of Rokkenjiman intelligence and naval elements, democracy was preserved. Thanks to the actions of our Empress, Rokkenjiman democracy perserveres to see yet another day."

The former Empress held little back when speaking on the events of November the Seventh. "The reforms brought forth by Vicegerent Ravenswood have survived their first and most crucial of tests: a renegade political party which holds a great deal of influence due to their endless propaganda and the evoking of Islyna's will, despite understanding nothing of her providence or teachings. These enemies of Rokkenjima, and our democracy, sought to hold the very centre of our democratic government hostage to ensure that the legislature could not conduct its affairs, denying those elected by the Rokkenjiman People to perform their duties. They told us who they were, what they stood for, what they stood against; no one should be surprised this happened. If we were a different nation, one without strong guardrails for democracy, perhaps they might have succeeded in their plot. Thankfully, for us, the Crown acted swiftly and with great determination to ensure 11/7 would not be the last day for democracy in Rokkenjima."

"They lost the mandate," Saisei continued, "yet they wished to force their view over the wills of countless millions of Rokkenjiman voters by not only halting business at the Imperial Diet, but smearing its halls with their bodily wastes. We are fortunate for their failure, and I now call upon Teikokutō leadership to disavow itself from the actions of former Speaker Sugano unequivocally, lest they tie their fate to that which he faces. The actions of the Empress in deploying force to evict those who sought to trample over every aspect of our institutions and democracy have ensured that we live in a free, open and democratic nation today, instead of the authoritarian hellscape that Teikokutō has sought to impose upon us. We were also, all of us, taught that democracy must be fought for; that in a sudden moment it can be wrenched from our hands if those many good amongst us choose to remain silent. We won the battle, but the fight over the soul of this First Empire has only just begun. We will not, can not, and shall not allow the enemy to win."

"I believe that the legacy of the Union was, perhaps, tarnished to a degree," Asuna taking pause as she placed a document before Thatcher. "This is, perhaps, the seed of what I believe addresses issues within the Cross-Straits and while it may look relatively bare in comparison to the Treaty of the Union that is intentional. We may borrow ideas that worked or instead replace aspects that didn't quite work well to realize an aligned path for the Cross-Straits: the Community itself."

A Personal Reply To Thatcher

It shall be my pleasure to accept your invitation and meet with you in the Blue Room. It is not to the past we shall look towards but the future in our discussions regarding the future of the Community and I am confident that, between the both of us, we shall see progress and a result we may both be proud of. As she was present for the formation, and reformation, of the Cross-Straits Union, I have invited a member of the Imperial Diet to join me in these talks, as well as my Imperial Liaison for Foreign Affairs, Gregory McKenna, Grand Marshall Forrester, and William Nye, Director of the Imperial Space and Exploration Agency.

I look forward to seeing you once again.


Empress of the First Empire of Rokkenjima
Princess of Littlebrook
"Thank you, we enjoyed the fairest of winds on our journey here," Asuna said with a smile, "the Austrana retains her reputation as being the 'lil ol' girl that can fare even the worst a hurricane has to offer' and as I said, let us not look to the past, but to that which lays before us. I assume that at least one member of my delegation needs no introduction," she said as she motioned toward her mother who offered outstretched arms to Thatcher; while it might not be in line with diplomatic protocol the Summit represented the first time they had seen each other in years. "Hello, old friend," she said as she held tears at bay, "it's so good to see you again. We'll have to catch up once business is out of the way, yes?""

Mr. McKenna and Grand Marshall Forrester offered nods of respect, whilst Nye offered her a firm handshake. With the greetings out of the way Asuna looked to Thatcher, "So, where would you wish to begin?"

Asuna had elected to wear a blue dress for the occasion whilst McKenna was present in his signature style. "The Right Honourable Gauffin, Respeced Minister Nayyem," Asuna said with a nod, "allow me to thank you personally for your invitation to meet with you today. To my right is Gregory McKenna, Imperial Liaison for Foreign Affairs," she said as he presented a wooden box. "Contained within this box is a traditional gift upon a first meeting with a foreign leader, Pyrenan Mead. It is brewed from honey gathered on the grounds of Pyrena Castle, and on this date a bottle of this same batch was deposited into the Imperial Winery Stores to be opened on the tenth anniversary of our meeting here today, to be enjoyed between us as a testament to our success."

"a traditional gift upon meeting with a foreign head of state, Pyrenan Mead, brewed from the honey of bees which live at Pyrena Castle. On this date a bottle was cast into our stows, and upon the fifth year of our success it will be expected to be opened and enjoyed between us. I look forward to my time here with you and to a fruitful session before us. Might I add Mötesstad is impressive; I'm always amazed by new sights, scents and sounds. Though we share a shore with the Shaw it's as if that same body of water imparts a different beauty to each of our shores, to see yours brings to me a smile and a hope I may show you the view from those shores I call home."

Lexa Sentinel Uncovers Zero Day Security Vulnerability


Lexa Sentinel, a derivative of the Lexa AI platform designed to uncover security vulnerabilities in widely used code, found an exploit in the code which would allow for a remote attacker to gain access to a system running aOS 1.4 and nexus 1.4, an exploit which has been patched as of 2 PM AST today. Normally such vulnerabilities are unknown to vendors, with no patch or other fix existing, leaving time for those who discovered the exploit to either report it to the vendor or sell it to state actors who utilize such exploits against their adversaries, or criminals who utilize them in the facilitation of criminal acts. Following this successful development of Lexa Sentinel Abstergo is prepared to offer the services of this suite to states authorized for the transfer of such technologies under Imperial law.

Lexa Sentinel is also being tested in other spheres of cyber security, such as network monitoring, analyzing, detecting and responding to cyber threats in real time. As these abilities will be powered locally by a Secured Integrated Memory Processor (SIMP) 2.0, organizations, corporations, and national governments will have further assurance as these tasks will see the processing of 95% of tasks take place locally on-device. In the 5% of processing time off-SIMP, those tasks which require greater computational power, only data which is anonymized and encrypted is shared with Abstergo in order to process such requests on SIMP 2.0 certified processors, the data contained within which even Abstergo itself is incapable of accessing either via on-device or remote means.

Zero day exploits and other cyber security threats pose great risks, not only to consumers, but also to institutions and governments. Lexa Sentinel stands at the ready to serve as your digital defender. Interested parties may contact the Research and Future Technologies Division for demonstrations as well as to establish working relationships.
