Following the tragedy in Royal Seleucid numbers show a decrease  of foreign tourists in Pramoria. The tourism agents are concerned that many business are going bad and may lead to an economical crisis in the long run .

"Our sales have decreased by 10% in the last few weeks due to all this  situation. If this goes along, not only the profits will be affected but also the lives of a large sector of employees . This is just another fact that stands behind why other nations must mind their own business in their part of world " was the statement of Sara Ghaffari,  the owner of the largest commercial center in capital Damarca, "Alladin City".


The Minister of Tourism, Amir Blourian, stated : "Matters are being discussed and we are aiming to resolve this situation as soon as possible. One of the occasion for these discussions will take place soon enough in Royal Selucid where Mr Mahdi Farahani (first husband of our Queen) will represent us in the meeting of the MidAranye leaders"  .

Queen Aisha Adib-Farahani-Dirbaz-Safavid, during a visit to a shelter for orphan children, addressed some of the hot topics in Midaranye: the Selucid crisis. When asked what Pramoria’s stance on the matter was, she replied:

“I strongly believe that more nations should follow our example and focus more on their domestic affairs rather than preoccupy themselves with issues that happened in other countries, some on different continents. We are now having an excellent performance at the Mundus games and we are doing that because we focus on the health and wellbeing of our people rather than waste energy to follow what other countries are doing.


As far as the current crisis is concerned, I strongly believe that the foreign powers that have sent ships near Midaranye should recall those ships. Their presence here is neither needed nor desired. I have also instructed my admirals to support our Sel
ucid neighbors by sending Pramorian ships alongside them and the Tamorans to the sea of Kyne. We are part of Midaranye and will show that to all. ”

When asked what her opinion is on Pharaoh’s Beketaten criticism of Royal Selucid, the Queen replied that:

“With wolfs on our door now it is a time to show unity in Midaranye. When the crisis has been adverted then a time a reflection will come and then we can talk about what went wrong.”

Shortly after the Queen’s speech, the Pramorian Navy announced that one destroyer and three frigates will join the Selucid and Tamoran ships in Kyne.

Today the election campaign has officially started with parties and candidates now being able to campaign freely for the 300 seats of the Parliament as well as the office of President of the Federal Republic. For the first time the party leading the polls is the Monarchist Party, with the Conservative Coalition trailing behind just 2 points. For the office of president Mr. Karim Najafi of the Monarchist Party is favored with the current president Mr.  Rustam Marikanov of the Conservative Coalition polling behind just 2 points. The Monarchist Party has seen a steady increase in support as immigration in the Republic has increased in the last decades.
These elections could be the most important ones for the Federal Republic as both Mr. Karim Najafi and the Monarchist Party have pledged to end the republican system of government should they get elected and turn the Slavic Federation into a monarchy like many of the countries in Midaranye. Other issues are expected to also play major role in the campaign like: the high unemployment now at over 15%, immigration, the status of the 2 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the Federal Republic, crime and the reforming the justice system, racial and religious tensions, the role of religion in the public space, the current recession, the high public debt which is now over 100% of GDP and foreign relations, especially the relations the Federal Republic has with the countries of Midaranye.

Igor Nabriski who was accused of the murder and rape of three women but the trial was suspended and the man released when it became apparent that prosecutors mishandled critical evidence has now won court damages of 2 million Slavic dinars for the way prosecutors handled the interrogation, for the emotional stress caused and the reputational damage the trial caused him.

Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest against the court's decision. Some of the protests turned violent.


The Monarchist Party criticized the court calling it a "bad joke" from a "judicial system that protects criminal activity " .

Politics of the Slavic Federation:

 
The politics of the Federal Republic is divided along ethnic lines with three parties representing the largest ethnic groups in the country.
 

The Conservative Coalition:
 
The main party of the Federal Republic, has been in power for decades and represents the Slavic(ethnic)  part of electorate. Decades of immigration has seen the Slav population lower as a percentage of the country's population and more citizens of Slavic background began to vote along ethnic lines. Eventually, the different political parties merged into the Conservative Coalition or gone defunct.

Main policies and agenda:
The party seeks to preserve (conserve) the current republican establishment and promotes the idea of a one nation united along a series of principles: rule of law, human rights, secularism and the Slavic language.
The party has a negative view of most nations in Midaranye seeing them as detrimental to the Republic's values but is divided between seeking better relations or even alliances with outside powers in an effort to counterbalance the Midaranye influence or seeking neutrality. It is for this reason that the party has been unable to pursue a clear and coherent foreign policy despite being in power for decades.

 

The Monarchist Party

The Monarchist Party represents the interests of the ethnic Parthians of the Slavic federation. It is the second most important political force and it has never been in power.

 Main policies and agenda:
The stated goal of the party is to overthrow the Republic and establish a monarchy in the Federation. Party leaders have provided little details about the proposed monarchs but the fact that the party is strongly rooted in the Parthian community has led many to believe they mean a noble from the Parthian states ( Pramoria and Tamora).
The party presents itself as though on crime, the defender of Parthian rights and a promoter of family and Midaranye values. The party is a strong proponent of closer ties with the other Midaranye states and strongly rejects international treaties and organizations which it sees as an infringement on the sovereignty of the country.  Furthermore, the party is a strong critic of the sanctions levied against Tamora labeling them as “economic blackmail”.

 

The Minority Alliance

The Minority Alliance is by far the smallest of the three political parties of the Federal Republic and represents the interests of the Clysperi and other non Parthian minorities in the Republic.

Main policies and agenda:
The Minority Alliance differentiates itself from the Monarchist Party by being more moderate in its criticism of the Republican system and tends to view the Monarchist Party as too focused on Parthian interests rather than ethnic minorities in general.

 

The CEO of SNB bank has announced that they have reached an agreement that will see Damarga Royal Bank buy a 70 % stake in SNB. The Damarga Royal Bank is the largest bank in Pramoria while SNB is the second largest bank in the Slavic Federation and has been struggling the last three years as the recession has dramatically increased the ratio of nonperforming loans.

The latest data from the Ministry of Finance shows that the economy continues its downward trend it has for more than three years. Furthermore,the already high unemployment of more than 14% is likely to increase to 15% as more and more businesses are downsizing. The Ministry has said that among the factors that are causing the recession is the social unrest in the country ( in 2018 there have been more than 40 large protests around the country with half turning violent causing a total of 5 billion dinars in damages and lowering investors' confidence in the economy), the massive public debt that continues to increase as more and more people are applying for benefits under the current economic conditions, the complicated regional context where international sanctions have hit both Tamora and Slava Lavosk as well as competition from other Midaranye countries that are now opening free economic zones as well as other factors.

The minister of Finance had this to say:" the economy is going through a though period but the government is doing everything in its power to ameliorate its effects. Unfortunately, most of what is causing the recession is not in our power to fix. The news that our Eastern neighbor has nuclear weapons has greatly unsettled foreign investors whom are increasingly seeing the region as unstable. We are hopeful that the international community will solve the ongoing crisis but other issues like the threat of war between Empire of Tamora and the Republic of Slava Lavosk still remains. I nevertheless want to reassure the people that the government has no intention of cutting the benefits our citizens have. The government must be there for the people when times are tough and the federal government will not let the people down."

The leader of the opposition however said that" the government is hiding its incompetence by blaming the region's problems for the recession. Royal Seleucid is not experiencing any downturn and neither is Pramoria and they are in the same region. That is because those countries are monarchies ruled by people who think long term rather than for the next election cycle. This country will not recover until it changes its form of government. "

Latest study shows that citizens have become increasingly more generous. Whether it is voluntary work or donations there both on the rise. Citizens of Slavic background have chosen to donate both their time and money to secular NGOs such as the Cancer Society and the Alzheimer’s Association while those of Parthian background have chosen overwhelmingly to donate their money and time to their respective religious organizations. The growth in voluntary work and donations is largely driven by the above average growth for those with Parthian background. According to the study the increase there is driven by the religious requirement of donating 10% of income to the religious institutions they belong to.

The latest values survey for people between the ages of 14 and 18 has many in the ministry of education and the entire government worried. According to the study which was funded by the ministry of education, people in the age group mentioned before believe the following:

-60% say that the concept of innocent until proven guilty should be abolished

-40% say that women should give precedence to men (this opinion is shared 30% of women surveyed)

- 55% agree with the statement the "government is actively trying to suppress traditional values of our society" .

- 60% say the death penalty should be reintroduced

- 40% say that physical punishment, including one that could lead to permanent body harm, is an acceptable form of punishment for those that commit violent crimes (ex: rape, murder).

 

-20% says that chattel slavery is an acceptable form of punishment

 -65% agree that abortion, divorce, adultery and prostitution should be banned.

 

Worse still the following data was released regarding trust and favorability in public figures:

 

-30% says they have a favorable view of the President that is tied with the Tamoran Emperor

-25% have a favorable view of King Heydar

- 35% have a favorable view of the Pramorian queen

 

When it comes to foreign policy, the opinions are:

-30% consider the Tamoran Empire a threat for the Republic, the highest percentage for a Midaranye country. That is lower than the 35% who consider East Moreland, Bakkermaya each a threat, 45% see both Seaforth and Rokkenjima as threats for the Republic. That is despite the fact that these nations have not issued any sanctions or shown hostility towards the Republic.

-75% say they have heard of the Helusian Empire, 50% say it is a correct term to describe the three majority Helusian countries of East Moreland,  Bakkermaya and Seaforth.

-50% say they have watched or read the speech “We Are Not A Problem To Be Handled; A Midaranye Declaration Of Independence” given by the Clysperi Pharaoh as opposed to only 30 who watched or read la latest the state of the Republic annual address.

 

Furthermore, according to the latest census data approx. 65% of the age bracket 14-18 is of non Slavic background. One MP has called these numbers a disaster and has called on the minister of education to resign. Others have called for Manist religions schools in the country to be closed while others MPs have asked for a complete halt on immigration less “the Republic risks to become MidAranyen- zied”. Parthian MPs though we're happy with the survey saying that the data shows "the country is fast embracing Midaranye values and that is something to be celebrated not feared. In a democracy people are free to have whatever opinions they want".
