"I truly dont see a lot of negatives if any, i believe this treaty will serve the interests of the Phuebran people and that truly, is my only interest, this agreement will make sure that Phuebra has security, and is safe from foreign invasion or too much foreign intervention, it also allows our military to take back control of our own country, i am very happy to sign this treaty."

Signed,

Son Chariya,
President of the Free Federal Republic of Phuebra

A little smile escaped from Choriya´s face, as she listened to the bright future view of Kyoko, and she was most certainly inclined to join her in that view, but before that could happen, there first had to be made and signed some paper work "I most certainly also see the future of Phuebra as one together with its neighbours, therefore i would gladly try to steer my nation into joining CSO, but maybe even more importantly for my country right now, on short term, is to have military reassurance, so i suppose it is time to put some of the matters we spoke about earlier, on paper, to give a real birth to our new friendship as nations, a treaty of friendship. "

Niccolo, laughed a bit when he heard the word Ardia coming from the quite fancy looking strange who had just arrived on horse, he looked like someone of importance as everyone made way for him as soon as they could.

"No, no, please, i am certainly not from Ardia, ive visited some of its more northern and eastern parts, but most lands of Ardia i am not too familiar with, including yours. I am from Saburi, a small but wealthy nation in the Island Continent just north of Ardia." Niccolo said as he looked to the translator if he could make any sense about it.

"Why i am here? Well, i am mercant  Niccolò Daza, son of merchant Matthieu Daza and i am mainly here for information at this moment, this world is big but not too big, and where i come from, we only know so few about what is out there, i want to change that, and find out what countries and cultures are out here, i would like to exchange culture and perhaps also goods, but that is completely up to you, i do want to ensure to you that we mean no harm at all, my nation became wealthy and relatively powerful with trade, and almost never with force, we dont have the need for that, and neither the power for it, with that being said, could you tell me something about where we are now, oh and before you do, please accept our gift for you."

Niccolo was handed a large sword by one of the sailors and he now walked with it toward the important looking stranger.

"This is a sword usually carried by the elite Knights of Saburi, and its only suited for the most brave and honourable men, it is believed in my country that those who carry this sword have the protection of Helus and Jekar. "

A slight glance could be seen from Chariya´s face

"That would be absolutely wonderful, with that being said, we would also probably need Rokkenjiman personell, to train the Phuebrans with these for them unknown tanks, would that be possible? Furthermore, i also think it would work in the benefit for both our nations, if we worked more together militarily, it is in the interest of your nation that your neighbour wont be a safe haven for foreign invaders or terrorists, so we could give each other the guarantee that we would protect each other if one were to be attacked? So would you be interested in a military treaty, and maybe with perhaps some add ons? "

"We would also like to return some favours economically, the same you offered us, but also things like for instance making tourism visas free for Rokkenjiman citizens, we would also be ready to offer Rokkenjiman companies willing to invest in Phuebra, exceptions for paying tax, of course some tax would still be have to paid, but significantly less than other foreign companies."

"Well, to be quite frank, i think the part in which help is most needed at the moment is our military, we still really lack the resources and material to properly equip our military, which really doesnt help us in the fight against terrorism and also in protecting our nation in general" Chariya said as tea was being served at the table.

"For instance, right now we dont possess any functional tanks or fighter jets, the ones we had have all been lost in the Civil War, also the equipment of our soldiers is very outdated, think about guns, helmets and other basic military equipment. So i was wondering whether some deal could be worked out in which maybe we could get our hands on older Rokkenjiman military equipment, which would still be a huge step upwards from what we have now."

"An other issue in which you could help us, is in the economic side, as neighbours i really think we could help each other, whether it would be in the form of a trade deal, loans, or easier visas for Phuebrans who would like to work in Rokkenjima, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Chariya was happy with the gift of the Rokkenjimans and joked "it's fortunate that foreign affairs is dealt by me and not the Prime Minister who is a Muslim, because then we would have to refuse most of the gifts we got from foreign delegations" she said as she laughed and winked. She then lead the Rokkenjimans to the conference room where on the table some Phuebran lunch and tea was prepared "please sit" she said as she grabbed some of the documents lying on the table.

"First of all I'd really like empathize how happy we are with all the help that Rokkenjima has already given whether it be vocally or fiscally, which really gives me hopes for our future relationship. I of course hope you both have seen the beauty of Phuebra but as you also have said, you have spotted the less good looking sides of our nation, the extreme poverty, and the situation some people live in, we slowly have been recovering from the civil war, but there are still so many issues we face, financially, militarily, we simply aren't capable enough yet to properly combat the terrorists and militias in our nation and we probably also wouldn't be able to defend out nation from foreign invaders, we of course get help from nations such as Vaguzia and Achkaerin, but these countries are with all due respect, half the world away, both physically and culturally, we need friends and allies close to us, so i must say i am really interested to hear your thoughts on how our nations futures should look like."

Vincenzo was a bit of a mystery for Mundus the last few years, he was the regent of Vaguzia but almost attended no diplomatic meetings, instead being more busy with questionable affairs such as prostitutes, cocaine and far too much alcohol, he was a troubled man, just like his late brother King Leonard, the life of Kong Leonard was much more public though as he was one of the favourites of the gossip press, Vincenzo managed to keep his private life very private. But for this matter he was interested. He was quite interested in the somewhat mysterious neighbour of Vaguzia with whom, contrary to Vaguzia's other neighbour East Moreland, Vaguzia never has had real deep connections with, so Vincenzo certainly saw this as an opportunity.

Vincenzo wore his best Vaguzian suit and a necklace with the main Izraïte symbol, an 8 point star, which of course was rather ironic as Vincenzo didn't quite live accordingly to the Code of Timotia. He drank some Morelander whiskey from his flusk, as the car arrived at the location of the meeting. He left his flusk in the car as he boarded the ship and walked towards the hostess, "It is an honour to meet you, your majesty, and i must say you look absolutely beautiful in that dress" he said with typical Vaguzian charm, he then showcased a book he had been holding "I here would like to give you this book as a present, it's called the Discovery of Paradise and is written by one of our most famous and legendary philosophers Quentin di Rosa"  he said as he looked around to see which other guests had already arrived.

The City of Khyat was around 10 minutes of a ride, as the limousine first passed the green tropical lands of Phuebra, where you would see rice farms and people harvesting it, soon in the distance you could see the skyline of Khyat, and as they entered the city they first had to drive through the slums which surrounded Khyat, the Phuebran government had put screens next to the highway, to in their words: "control the sound pollution" but in reality did it so that people who passed on the highway wouldn't see the terrible state of these neighborhoods, however, there were of course still spots where the screens couldn't completely block the view, and where the slums were still visible. To distract the Rokkenjima guests a little from the sight of the slums, Rothanak started a little small talk, "i hope the weather isn't treating you to badly, the rain season can be pretty tough, but if you ask me, i kind of love the tropical smell around you when the rain has just stopped, when i smell it, i always know i'm home."

Chariya had just finished meditating at her little altar with a Buddha statue, even though she wasn't raised very strictly Buddhist by her parents, she always loved going to the temple with her mother when she was young and meditate, it always brought her calmness and made her relaxed in stressed times, this was a stressful day, she was quite nervous to meet with the Empress of what is perhaps the most powerful nation on Mundus, and also a nation which has influenced Phuebra in many ways by being it's more powerful nation, were it economic, culturally, but also, as a woman, never really taken seriously in a very patriarchal society that is the Phuebran, the fact that the most powerful nation in the world was a woman, always gave her motivation to ignore the men who said she wouldn't make it, and look at her now, President of Phuebra. For this big occasion she had decided to put on a traditional Phuebran dress (think Thai traditional dress, since she was President she has always motivated Phuebrans, especially members of her cabinet to be proud of their culture, as before the civil war, Phuebran leaders and politicians always wore Karinyan (ooc: western) style clothes like suite and tie, according to her this was still a sort of bowing to it's former colonial rulers, but now Phuebra is free and proud. She was escorted by her advisors to the entrance of the President Palace where she could see the military escort that was escorting the Rokkenjiman delegation arriving at the palace, she walked down as the soldiers saluted her, the door of the limousine was opened by a Phuebran soldier and as the Rokkenjiman delegation stepped out of the car Chariya walked towards them, put her hands together and bowed, "your imperial highnesses, it is my biggest honour to welcome in my Palace and in my country, i hope you have enjoyed your travel!" Now one of the advisors handed her the presents for the Rokkenjiman delegation "we have some presents for your because we are so grateful for your visit, i here have a bottle of some of the best Phuebran rice wine out there, and i also here have for you traditional Phuebran dresses, similar to the one i am wearing now, now if you'd like to follow me, the cooks have made some wonderful meals for us, where we could start our talks."

As the rain season had just started in Phuebra, the welcoming delegation was standing in heavy rain for a few minutes, with the soldiers standing as if there wasn't anything going on, which was probably the case for them considering the fact they all grew up in this climate. And as the plane of the Rokkenjiman delegation landed, in Kyat International Airport, which was largely rebuilt after it was completely destroyed during the civil war but there were still some very damaged hangars visible, the rain stopped and made place for the normal humid, tropical weather. Since the civil war, there have been several international delegations visiting Phuebra, but not of the representatives had been this big and influential, especially from a country as influential as Rokkenjima, so it was made sure the Empress would get a grande entrance. A row of soldiers stood next to the end of the staircase of the plane as they saluted the visitors. As the visitors walked down the staircase, a band dressed in traditional Phuebran clothes, started playing the Rokkenjiman anthem, while the Phuebran and Rokkenjiman flags were both risen next to each other.

As this spectacle unfolded, Sar Rothanak, one of the personal assistants of the President, walked towards the Rokkenjiman delegation, bowed and said "your imperial highnesses, i am too honoured to welcome you in our country, my name is Sar Rothanak, and i am one of the personal assistants of the President, she will welcome you very soon at the presidential palace, to which you shall be escorted to by our military, please follow me as i guide you to your limousine"

Your imperial majesty,

I am truly honoured to receive a letter like this from the Empress of an Empire that is so honourable as yours, and an Empire that has so much history and a proud culture. Historically our people have always viewed Rokkenjima as our big brother, culturally, we might differ, but we feel that our people are siblings, which is i why i am very happy to see this sign of friendship of you and your nation.

And yes indeed our nation has had some blows the last decades but we can't blame your nation for not getting involved as all of these conflicts were incredibly complex and there were so many sides that getting involved would only make things unnecessarily more complex.

Now however there is a clear divide in our nation, people who want to see our nation thrive and those who want to see her destabilize and shatter into pieces, i am happy to know that you aren't on the latter side, as we have also seen in your reply on the latest terror attacks that have shocked our nation. So i see loads of potential in a new friendship between our nations, in all possible ways, militarily, economically, culturally and diplomatically.

So i am looking forward to welcome you in my presidential palace in our great capital city of Khyat!

Respectfully yours;

Son Chariya,
President of the Free Federal Republic of Phuebra

The Free Phuebran
Several terrorist attacks in Baarya kill 92 people, including 8 Quintelian soldiers.


This morning, on several places in the city centre of Baarya, several terrorist attacks have found place which have already took the lives of almost 100 people and 8 Quintelian soldiers. The first attack found place around 9:00 am when a suicide bomber exploded himself in the middle of the Big Bazar of Phuebra, so far this seems to have been the deadliest attack, killing 45 people and it is feared that many heavily wounded will soon also be reported dead. Around 6 minutes later as ambulances and military were all rapidly moving to the Bazar to see the damage done, 3 people armed with machine guns opened fire on people eating in restaurants, killing 12 people before the terrorists were eliminated by Quintelian soldiers, these restaurants are known to be popular among tourists and foreign helpers, and it appears to be that most of the 12 killed are indeed foreigners, however, the exact nationalities of these individuals have yet to be revealed. Around 9:20 am the final and 2nd deadliest attack found place, when a person in a truck drove into a group of Quintelian soldiers, and taking many Phuebran citizens with them, after the truck drove into people for around 30 seconds, the driver stopped the truck, stepped out with a machine gun and opened fire on the fleeing people, killing several before being shot by a Quintelian soldier, he is as of now the only surviving terrorist of these attacks and is in the hospital in critical condition

The attacks have not been claimed yet, but the FPPD (Federal Phuebran Police Department) says they are almost certain the attacks were executed by a Buddhist Nationalist militia: "All the attackers we have identified so far, they were members of an extremely violent and nationalist Buddhist militia in the civil war, who would attack besides Islamic rebels, also mosques, Muslim citizens and also foreign soldiers, apart from the Bazar attack, they also seem to specifically have targeted places with many foreigners and even more specifically in one of the attacks, Quintelian soldiers, so everything points towards a nationalist attack." President-Agent of the FPPD Iem Vannak said.

Ever since the Liberation of Baarya in the civil war by Quintelian troops, Baarya has seen a lot of internationalization, Quintelian companies have settled and invested a lot into the city and is seen as a relatively safe city, even for foreigners, so many NGO's trying to help this struggling nation, have put their HQ in here as well, Baarya has also seen a rise in tourism in the last few years (as have most urban regions in Phuebra). All this foreign influence now seems to have upset the Phuebran Buddhist Nationalists.

Our President Son Chariya has also reacted to the terrorist attacks: "Today is a very dark day for our country, many of our countrymen have been killed in cowardish attacks, and also people not from here, but who came here to help our nation with all their love and passion have been attacked. We have fought a very bloody war for a free country, where every person can practice his or her culture without fear, where all cultures have a place, so there is democracy all these things are under attack now. We are also trying to show the world that Phuebra is on the rise, that tourists can visit our beautiful country in safety, but unfortunately these attacks have shown the bitter truth of the fact that our country is still in an unstable phase, and that we still have to put in all of our efforts to combat these militias, whether they are Buddhist, Islamic or Nationalist, these militias have no place in the new Phuebra."

Diplomacy and Events / Festivo do Toras 2022 Invites (Open RP)
« on: April 16, 2022, 03:42:58 PM »
An invitation to the leaders of Mundus,

Dear leaders,

As some of you may know, every year at the beginning of May, the Festivo do Toras finds place, translated to English The Festival of the Bulls. For those who are unknown with the history of the festival, it was first organized in 1402 when Henrique il Verdia was crowned King of Verdia, the Kingdom which later in history unified the other Vaguzian lands, to celebrate his crowning, he organized a festival of 7 days in honour of the Izraïte gods and specifically Daaris, God of War, of whom in the ancient book is said was able to tame Bulls and ride them in battles, because of this the bull plays a significant role in Vaguzian culture, and it is said that if you are able to defeat a bull or able to control it, you are a worthy servant of Daaris, you will have a guaranteed place in Avalqa (seen as the most prestigious afterlife, where only those come who have died as warriors, or have gotten the blessing by a Daaris Priest, almost exclusively gotten through bullfighting). So to honour Daaris during the festivals, several bull related activities will be held by also thing such like horse races through the streets of Vallis.
The schedule of the Festival will as followed:

May 1: arrival of the prestigious guests, bullfighters and nobility in Vallis, shall be celebrated with a big feast with the best of Vaguziase cuisine and wines

May 2: Flamenco concerts and blessing of Bullfighters, and opening of the Grand Market
May 3: First Bullfights
May 4: Horse races through the streets of Vallis, and in the night following the races a big feast with Tango music, and the people shall be required to wear classic Vaguziase clothing
May 5: Bull runs (in this event, 10 bulls will be unleashed and local residents of Vallis will try to not get hit by them and shall run towards the Bullfighting Arena in which the bulls shall be killed
May 6: Rodeo (bull Rodeo) and 2nd Bullfights (in the 2nd Bullfights the most famous and prestigious bullfighters of Vaguzia shall compete)
May 7: Closing ceremony with more feasts and music

I am proud to invite you all to visit this classic Vaguzian tradition in the most Holy City of Vallis, you are also invited to compete in the horse races, as it is tradition that many of the competitors of the horse race are nobility.

Signed,

Petro de Lucia
Secretary of the Prince-Regent

(OOC-prologue of this story shall be in the vignette of Niccolò  Daza)

Coast of Daito, 1301

The Travel had been long and tough, for almost 3 months, Niccolò had already been sailing on the ocean looking for the mysterious lands of Ardia, it was known there was land here, but not many had been there, whether it was because of lack of resources, fear of hostile people, or fear of the travel itself, not many outside of Ardia had been in these lands, all the knowledge there was about these lands came from vague rumours and stories from drunken sailors about lands with people who look different, and food that is also different to the Vaguzian kitchen, and most importantly new opportunities for wealth.

Niccolò Daza, the 26 year old son of the Saburise Merchant Matthieu Daza, had always been obsessed by the stories told about these mysterious lands and never understood the unwillingness to further discover these far away lands, a few weeks ago, Niccolò had sailed past the Iwi lands, from this point, all knowledge there was, was based on rumours so they now sailed for land and soon saw a fisher town in the distance which had just about enough space for the two boats of Niccolò which had around 100 men with them, mainly merchants and servants of Niccolò, Niccolò on purpose had not taken any knights or soldiers with him as he wanted to show that they came in peace and were purely out there for diplomacy, knowledge, cultural exchange and trade, most of the people on this journey were armed with a sword but this was considered normal in the parts of Mundus where Niccolò came from. The boat now arrived and Niccolò could see that the boats stationed looked quite different from what Vaguziase ships normally looked like "well those sails look quite interesting, i wonder what the idea is behind them" Pierre-Nathan Fillon, the captain of Niccolò's ship remarked "it's certainly one of the many things i wonder about this place" Niccolò replied as the ship now entered the port.

As the ship entered the port, a small crowd had gathered to look at the strange ships entering the town Niccolò gave a small wave, he assumed this was a friendly sign even in this part of Mundus. As the ship had now docked in the port, Niccolò made sure he was the the first to exit the ship to show that he was in command to the locals, and when he looked at the local he immediately noticed that these people indeed did look different than what he had seen "okay their eyes do look different, and their clothes look odd, but it's still clear that these are fishers" he said to his captain Pierre-Nathan, "i guess fishers just look the same everywhere" he replied. The crowd that had awaited the ships looked a little confused, and soon walked towards the crew entering their town and started touching the hair of some of the crew members, mainly the ones who had curly hair, "it seems like they haven't seen people like us before either" Niccolò noted as some of the people also touched his hair and beard. Now with sign language Niccolò tried to explain the people what he wanted "Could any of you tell me where we  are?" No reply  "okay i guess we have to start with something different, okay okay, look at me yes? I am Niccolò, and you are?" He said as he pointed towards a random person in the crowd "Keisuke!" The fella replied "ah look we are getting somewhere, do you guys have a leader?, A boss?, An elder?" Niccolò asked while trying to make himself clear with some kind of sign language, but unfortunately, again, no reply " I'm afraid this will be a long day" "don't worry sir, i think that whatever leader there is here, we will get their attention soon enough, come on, around 100 strange looking people, entering their land, trying to communicate, find shelter, surely this must be to some interest to local leaders?" Pierre-Nathan replied.

It had been a few years now since the Free Phuebran Army and the Achkaerinese military had liberated Khyat from Jihadist rebels, that civil war had destroyed large parts of Khyat, and almost turned it into a ghost city at the end of the war, so it pleased Sharaf to see now that Khyat was pretty much completely back to normal, of course, there were military checkpoints everywhere throughout the city, but still, normal life had returned, there were parties, big markets and bazars and the city was once again filled with far too packed roads. Khyat was once again a city Sharaf was proud of when he received foreign guests, and this was the first time since the end of the war, a meeting with major countries such as Quintelia, Vaguzia and Achkaerin was held in Phuebra. Of course the meeting meant there had to be a lot of safety precautions but this was luckily assisted by very well trained Achkaerinese troops, there was a military band present waiting to play the national anthems of the guests, as well traditional Phuebran dancers who were going to give the guests a warm welcome. Sharaf looked confident as the first guests appeared to arrive.





Minister of Foreign Affairs Fabiano Franciosa and Minister of Defence Gabriel Tomassi both appeared to be a little bit nervous as they were sweating quite large amounts, although the insane heat and humidity probably didn't help either. They however also had reason to be a little nervous as neither of the Ministers had made a visit in a country such as Phuebra, where even tho they had the best troops keeping them save, it still had more danger to it than the average state visit, "i don't think I've ever seen so much military, even during my service" Fabiano said to Gabriel, and Gabriel appeared to laugh "Fabiano, my friend, you were a cook in the military, you have seen more Spaghetti than guns" he said, as both ministers bursted out laughing and seem to have forgotten their nerves.

Their heavily armoured limousine now had arrived at the Presidential Palace, where they saw that General Joubert had already arrived and awaited his Ministers. "General Joubert, what a pleasure to see you" Gabriel said as he walked out of the limousine, they shook hands while Joubert laughed and said "i see you are still adjusting to the tropical weather Gabriel!" Gabriel appeared to smile "the only thing that could save this meeting is a good plate of Phuebran food" he said with a wink. Phuebran food was quite popular in Vaguzia as it was brought to Vaguzia in the 60s as many Phuebrans migrated to Vaguzia and started restaurants in various Vaguzian cities. As Fabiano now also had arrived, the three of them now walked further, where the ceremony awaited them, first the Vaguzian anthem was played and then a group of Phuebrans in traditional clothes started dancing and banging on traditional drums as they put an necklace of blue painted stones around the neck of their guests, in Phuebra this is a sign of friendship. The Vaguzian guests appeared to feel a little bit uncomfortable with it all, but understood it was all meant in the best way, after the welcome ceremony Sharaf and his delegation walked towards the Vaguzian delegation "welcome my Vaguzian friends i hope you have enjoyed my home country so far!"

Giuseppe was a bit surprised by the suggestion of King Rutger and saw that Heyra was on his side with this one  "i am a bit surprised by this remark, your majesty, i understand that this might be a small disadvantage of the MICA membership, but in all alliances, we have to compromise, because we are simply all different nations who trade different goods, and unfortunately this means that these things can occur, but in my opinion that's just the nature of trade, and i honestly cannot give our border guards who are very busy with fighting terrorism and Borlanders at the quite violent border of my nation with East Moreland, bureaucratic nonsense such as this, maybe your country has the privilege of being able to give your agencies more bureaucracy but unfortunately our agencies are too busy with other things and cannot afford any more bureaucracy, which will also force my government to tax my citizens who have just recovered from a severe recession even more. Wouldnt you agree, your majesty, the the positive things your nation would gain through a MICA membership, outweigh the negative things?"

To the leaders of Achkaerin, Quintelia and Vaguzia,

As you know, according to the treaty signed after the end of the Phuebran Civil War, foreign troops would stay in my country until 2022, and that year is now. first of all I'd like to send my gratitude for the efforts of your troops, even though Phuebra might still not be the safest country on Mundus, thanks to your help, the National Security situation has drastically improved children can now go to school, Phuebrans can visit malls, Muslims can visit their Mosques and Buddhists can visit their Temples.

We should however also not be blind for the harsh realities that we still face, my country is still frequently the victim of terror attacks, and in the rural areas of Phuebra heavily armed militia still control land.

This all in mind, i think it's the right time to set up a meeting to talk about the future of the military presence of country and the future of Phuebra, i would love to invite you or representatives of you in the Presidential Palace in Khyat to discuss these important matters together with me and the President.

Signed,
Prime Minister Sharaf bin Zaahid

Election Season starts with a shock: Saburi elects a Morelandish Mayor for the first time ever!
                                                           
 
The city council and Mayoral elections of our biggest city Saburi which is the first big election in a month of several big elections (general elections and governor elections) have resulted in a truly shocking outcome: for the first time ever, a city outside of West Moreland has elected not only a Morelander as Mayor but also a Morelandish party as biggest party. Despite Morelanders being the biggest ethnic group of people together with Vaguzians in the city of Saburi, never has the main Morelander party (the NMP) gotten more than 10% of the votes, now it is 41%

And the man who has been elected Mayor is Flynn McCarthy, a man who isnt new to politics in any way, but has also been controversial since the start of his career. He was born in Saburi in 1958 to a completely Morelandish and Cultist family. During the Civil War he fought voluntarily for the Communist Party, for which his excuse was "I was young, rebellious and a Southern Vaguzian" after the Civil War he was closely involved and connected with the MLA (Morelander Liberation Army) which especially in the 90s was a very disturbing violent terrorist organisation who supposedly fought for the rights of ethnic Morelanders in Vaguzia, their most famous attack were the Domanti Mall bombings in 1993 which killed 21 people and wounded 136. Today, the new Mayor Mc Carthy claims to be a changed man and claims to have walked away from extremist groups "look, it cannot be denied my group of people is being discriminated against in Vaguzia, Izraïtes are seen as 'Real' Vaguzians, and everyone else is seen as 2nd class citizens, now i see the power of democracy, but back in the day i thought true freedom of the Morelandish and Cultist people could be reached through violence and war, i now know that to become truly part of the Izraïte/Vaguzian system we have to at least try to be part of it"

NMP and Socialist Party to form Coalition together

Historically the National Morelander Party and the Socialist Party have always been big allies, as the Socialist Party supports the Morelandish case and NMP supports many of the human rights stances of the socialist party so after the Saburi elections in which the NMP and the Socialist Party got around 70% of the vote, this alliance seems no more than logical, which makes one thing clear, the next years Saburi shall be governed by a Morelandish Socialist City Council.

Full Saburi election results:

41% National Morelander Party
29% Socialist Party
10% Labour
5% Izraïte Union
4% Conservatives
4% Saburi Interest Party
4% Green Party
3% Liberal Democrats

Just like other times this year, Prince-Regent Vincenzo was too busy with spending his money on useless luxurious stuff and countless women, so the Vaguzian government was relieved when they heard he was sending his 25 year old cousin Prince Giuseppe who had just finished his study Political Science at the Royal Merriman  university in East Moreland, so he was familiar with the country and also was a fluent Morelandish speaker, so Vincenzo saw this as the perfect opportunity to give him some experience in the field.

Before the meeting Giuseppe had enjoyed himself a good coffee as he enjoyed the beautiful sight at the lake, Vaguzians are proud people, but they are always impressed by the incredible landscape of East Moreland, a landscape which had proven to be an impossible barrier to break by Vaguzian forces in history.

As Giuseppe and his team walked up the hill towards the meeting he saw that  he was one of the last to arrive at the meeting, as he already spotted the Bakkermayan and Heyran delegation in conversation with King David, he walked towards the group and introduced himself "Your majesty, your Highness, Your excellency, it's truly an honour to meet you, i am Prince Giuseppe, and i shall be representing the Vaguzian delegation, because unfortunately Prince-Regent Vincenzo was busy with erm... Other things"

Nasty in all of a sudden woke up with a massive headache, he stank to alcohol as well and he felt completely broken as well, as if someone had completely beaten him up, as he slowly woke up, he was immediately in shock when he realized he was being held in a cell. And then he realized what had happened, "oh heck im such a blood idiot"  he mumbled to himself as he started to realize that he made a giant mistake "You naive moron why did you have to be so cocky again " and as he said that he was trying to remember what happened, then he saw flashes of memories coming past, he remembered threatening to choke someone without actually using his hands, which probably hinted people around him that he could use some of the force, then shortly after he got involved in a fight and while he was fighting he was knocked out from the back, he also remembers people whispering something about some inquisition stuff, so he was guessing thats why he was now being held. As Nasty tried to stand up and have his vision cleared and straightened up he in all of a sudden saw a friendly looking Sullustan, and he thought he probably wouldnt be his enemy, "Yo fella, can you please help me get out, i think i got tangled up in some imps nonsense" Nasty said in a drunken way you could barely understand.

Nasty Yovvo had been living on Nar Shaddaa for a while now, he worked for the hutts as an weapon dealer and ocassionaly as an muscle, however this was more of an cover as he originally was sent to assasinate General Grivious by the Nightsisters (he is a Nightbrother himself), he now as going to one of the most popular bar to not only to chill a bit and have some alcohol but also to potentially find some clients for some of the new weapons he had. In this bar he was quite notorious, not only because the owners didnt like him there hanging around and trying to sell weapons but also because he was known to have quite the short temper, he had started a few brawls in the bar and was actually blacklisted in this bar, nonetheless he tried to enter, but the Bouncer had other plans, "Oh come on Nasty, you damn well know that you are not allowed here anymore, you always bring trouble in here, and with the stuff you sell you only draw more bad people in here." These few sentences already managed to make Nasty upset "Okayy listen up now you little Gomorrean dwarve, you better step aside now, or else ill literally choke you to death without even touching you" Nasty said as he had an intimidating look towards, Nasty was not actually sure whether his sensitivity to the force was powerful enough to choke someone but he did love bluffing. "Okay, okay eas, easy, gosh why do you Zabrak always want to make a scene", Nasty again became upset "What are you talking about?!?! Do you think we are all like Darth Maul or something" It was ironic that Nasty said this because in reality he somewhat admired Darth Maul, mainly skill wisely though. "Okay, okay, okay, i guess you are right, just go in but please dont start a brawl like always." and as these words left the mouth of the Gomorrean, Nasty immediately went into the bar. He where the bartender immediately recognized him "Oh god its you, please dont start a brawl this time", Nasty laughed "Haha, come on i dont start brawls that often just give me some alcohol, dont even care what" Nasty now started doing shots and while he wanted to take his 4th shot of alcohol, behind him a lot of noise was heard, and just as he was about to turn around some lost missed laser shot obliterated his shot of Alcohol, and now Nasty was really pissed off, he jumped out of his chair, grabbed the gun he had hidden under his chair and turned around "OKAY, I DONT CARE ABOUT ANY OF YOU BUT TOUCH MY ALCOHOL OR DISTORT MY REST AND YOU CAN BLOODY GET IT!!!" and just as he yelled that he saw even more people fighting and shots flying through the air and absolutely didnt know what to do.

Saburi
It had been a bad day for the Vaguzian maffia, just a few hours ago, EM intelligence had found out a funding stream of the Borlanders, this massively hurt the D'Arco family and other Vaguzian maffia who had been trafficking humans and trading weapons with Borlander terrorists, making a lot of profit from this, Icilio D'Arco, de facto leader of the D'Arco family, was absolutely furious as he had invited his trusted members of the family to his mansion in Saburi "Do you guys even understand how bad this situation is, as soon as the Morelanders find out that we are working together with Borlander terrorists, we are done!! fact is that the only way that the Morelanders found out about the funding stream, must be that some of the Vaguzians in East Moreland have been snitching, and im betting its the Imbrogno family in Silverhills!" the Imbrogno family was the biggest Vaguzian maffia organization out of all the Vaguzian diaspora, they became big by investing into a lot of Silverhills Casino's with drugs money mainly made in Portworth, and nowadays many of the casinos in Silverhills have links to Vaguzian maffia. The Imbrogno family is part of the Vaguzian diaspora in East Moreland, most of them living in Portworth, when the big recession of the 60s broke out in Vaguzia many Vaguzians migrated illegally to East Moreland, also taking the maffia culture with them. The Imbrogno family was originally from Saburi, like most Vaguzian maffia organizations, because of this they also still have a lot of contacts in the Saburi Ports, which helps them when they smuggle drugs through these ports. "So here is what we are gonna do, we have some guys of our own in East Moreland and im going to ask them to teach these snitching Imbrogno assholes some lessons, i know that a lot of them hang out in the Vaguzian Bar Le allagre (means the cheerful) in Silverhills so we just gonna throw some grenades in there and shoot the place to pieces" Icillio said aggressively, his right hand Azeglio Chiavetta was very sceptic "Icillio, i understand where you are coming from, but come on, we all know that Silverhills isnt Saburi, here in Saburi we can maybe shoot up a bar till pieces, but the military and police in Silverhills dont fuck around, we dont have power over any police in East Moreland like we have in Vaguzia, so this plan just really seems too risky." Icillio was having none of it "I honestly don't care, as long as they cant connect it with me, and if our guys get arrested and snitch us, they know what will happen to their families."

Docks of Saburi
Shortly after East Moreland police and intel had discovered a funding stream of the Borlanders, The Vaguzian Police had been informed by East Moreland authorities that there was serious evidence that there was human trafficking going on within the ports of Saburi. The Vaguzian Police had reacted to by sending their Elite Special Operations unit named Speziala Interverzione Polizia (Special Intervention Police) to the Docks of Saburi to research whether the docks that were suspected to be owned by maffia organizations, were indeed also doing human trafficking. The SIP is mainly made out of former Tenagri Legionnaires and others are scouted from the regular military units, the SIP has access to all hand weapons they want and are considered to be the 2nd best trained unit after the Tenagri Legiona. The one who was going to lead this operation was Captain Cristian Spinale, Spinale was a former Tenagri Legionnaire and had moved to the SIP a few years back because he wanted to be less far from home, he was immediately given his own team and was also part of the operation which prevented the terror attacks in Saburi Train Station. "Okay guys the plan is to enter the suspicious docks, clear them and find out whats in them." After he said this the SIP immediately started the operation, they slowly walked towards the dock, and now were ready to smash open the door of the dock. The door had to be smashed open by human force, because there was a risk that there were dangerous materials being kept in these docks, and they didnt want this to explode. The SIP used a crowbar to open the door, and immediately after they opened the door, they rapidly entered the dock and cleared it, there were 13 guys in the dock, and they immediately went to the ground when the SIP told them to, soon the SIP opened the 4 containers being kept in the docks and what they found here was truly shocking, all the containers were filled with Zimalians who had been smuggled into the ports by these guys. The 13 guys that had been arrested turned out to be Borlanders and members of the Vaguzian mafia.

Silverhills
Vivaldo Buffone and Elio Vallese had just a received a call from their friend Icilio D'Arco that they had to revenge him against the Imbrogno family, Vivaldo and Elio were both member of a Vaguzian gang in Portsworth who worked very closely with the D'Arco family, they basically viewed each other as family and would do anything for each other. Vivaldo and Elio were now in an Ornati ZX-5, which was a sedan that could reach 260 km/h, with them in the car they had two AK 47s and a grenade launcher. As they were on their way to the target they drove through Silverhills and saw a lot of Military and Police patrolling "Amigo, Icilio gave us a really hard job, if any soldier or police officer is near that bar, we are probably not gonna survive today" Elio told Vivaldo "Yes what we are doing today is risky, but we are family and we gotta help each other out, so we gotta punish those who are snitching us!" Vivaldo replied. As they were now approaching the bar, they turned off the loud playing Vaguzian rap, as the people in the bar would probably be suspicious if they heard Vaguzian music on the street. Now Vivaldo and Elio stopped the car in front of the bar and slowly opened the dark window, Elio now looked if there were any military or police near but he didnt see any, he now grabbed the grenade launcher aimed it at the bar, waited 3 seconds... and fired the grenade. The grenade went through the big window right into the bar, the people in the bar were now completely confused and then after 3 seconds, before anyone had noticed the grenade, the grenade exploded and absolutely shattered the whole bar to pieces. Now you could hear people yelling and running away, people on the street near the bar who were panicking, and survivors in the bar who were completely disorientated. Vivaldo and Elio now rapidly stepped out of the car with their AK 47s, ran into the demolished bar and shot around them, hitting some of the survivors as well "This is what you get for snitching, you Imbrogno scum!!" After 10 seconds of shooting they ran back to the car, as they heard police racing towards the scene. They now full throttle drove away from away from the bar in hope to escape the Police, but soon the Police and even Military came from all sides, Vivaldo and Elio now stopped the car, stepped out and ran into an alley, in the hope to escape to police....
