Gossip Daily can exclusively reveal that King Leonard of Vaguzia's lack of a response to the Chapterhouse school attack. As children burned to death and parents were left in despair waiting for news the King was too busy fooling about in a bar with some cheap prostitute he had more than likely picked up off the streets of Vaguzia's many shady parts.

The claim have ignited anger among the Vaguzian public because many feel like the King is too busy swanning about with young men to care for the well being of his people. "Okay he has a life and I won't judge on that but when children are DYING and he's too busy messing about with some man whore then something has to be done because this is simply unacceptable behavior of a Monarch" said one woman we spoke to on the streets of Flumon.

The news has also got us at Gossip Daily wondering when the King will finally come clean and tell the world he is gay. As the evidence builds that day is inevitable and eventually the King's lies will catch up with him.

It seems the government seriously underestimated support for contraception and a want for the legalization of abortion as hundreds of thousands of Solonians, lots of them young, have taken to the streets against the proposed plans to ban contraception which can "harm a woman's reproductive organs". The protests are one of the first signs of resistance against something the church in Solonia has supported since the fall of communism.

One young woman we spoke to, named Gracja, said that "the youth have had enough of the church telling the people what to do and how to live their lives and deciding what should be legal and what shouldn't be. Yes, I am a strong believer in God and I do believe that Solonians are a Catholic people but the nation of Solonia is a secular nation and the church must respect that, the times are changing and so must the church in Solonia. I do not want to have 3 children before I have even turned 25, I want to live my life to the fullest and the church is trying to stop that. I go to church, I pray, I am a devout christian but I don't want to catch a sexual caused illness or get pregnant whilst I am finishing my studies."

A poll conducted of people aged 16-30 by Słońce suggested that 51% of them are opposed to the banning of certain types of contraception, 37% support it and 12% hold no opinion on the matter.

Solonia will send it's national team.

I think we should become an absolute monarchy under the Grand Chancellor and Vice Chancellor. However, I do feel we would need some sort of mechanism to remove a Grand Chancellor, Vice Chancellor or any Officer they appoint if an issue were to arise such as inactivity, breaking the law, etc.

"I suppose I am okay with this agreement. Now, may we move on to discussing research & development, etc. or is there anything else you wish to discuss?" asked the Prime Minister.

President Gościsław Misiaszek shook Ms. Kennedy's hand and then Mr. Chambers'. "It's an honour to meet both of you, this is Mr. Bilski, the Minister of Foreign Affairs" he said. "Hello, lovely to meet you" Więcesław replied. "We will be heading to the Presidential Palace for the discussions, I hope that will be okay with you" added Więcesław. They then led the Achkaerinese diplomats to a car which had been sent and then they got in a separate car so the visiting group would not be uncomfortable. The cars then set off for the Presidential Palace escorted by the Police. On the way there the driver pointed out the many historical sites of Kazimierzawa to the Achkaerinese group so that they would get a little bit of a better understanding of the nations culture and history.

The cars arrived at the Palace and the driver opened the door for the visiting Achkaerinese dignitaries. The President and Minister of Foreign Affairs met them again and led them to the room they had set up. They were offered a drink if they wished to and were then given a seat at the table by the Presidential butler. "So. What do you wish to discuss first?" asked Minister Bilski.

"Hmmmm this seems like a fair deal to me." said the Minister Bilski. "Yes, I agree. I think this would definitely be a fair agreement and would be mutually beneficial to the both of us. I would also like to potentially discuss things like research and development teaming up with Balticum due to the fact your country is much more advanced than ours in things like this. But of course it depends on whether you would be willing to do something like that" replied Mrs. Dobrzynska.

LOT Solonian Airlines has today announced that 3 new international routes will be opened to help further connect Solonia to the rest of the world. The 3 new routes are all heading to the 2nd biggest cities of countries where Solonian Airlines already has a presence.

The CEO of Solonian Airlines, Łucja Kowalska, announced that the 3 new destinations are Domanti in Vaguzia, the city of Hamburg in Balticum, and the city of Aofumiya in Himeyama. The CEO said that the destinations were selected out of over 15 cities worldwide considered for expansion and they were chosen either due to large demand for services to these countries or a feeling that there is unexplored economic potential in these cities for Solonian companies. The new routes will have Economy Class, Business Class and Business Star Class so that travellers may travel in comfort and style.

The new routes will open in December of this year.

The Prime Minister looked forward to meeting the President of Balticum. She knew that she had to get on his good side or the many Solonians who lived in Balticum may face some repercussions that would've been caused by no fault of their own. She had heard rumours of his dislike for immigrants, especially those who originated from Solonia, and didn't want to increase inflame this hatred any more. She was slightly jittery as she didn't have much experience in foreign affairs but she felt a bit better once she had given a her cross necklace a kiss and asked god for good luck in the meeting ahead. She saw the airport up ahead and let out a sigh, whether it was one of relief or worry even she didn't know.

The Prime Minister's official car pulled up inside the airport and she climbed out and walked over to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Więcesław Bilski.

"Is everything ready?" asked the Prime Minister
"Indeed it is." replied Więcesław
"Well I assumed so, everything is obviously in good hands." she said
"Thank you." Więcesław said
"Do you have any experience with Mr. Pomeroy?" she asked
"No I do not. I have heard he isn't fond of Solonian immigrants though." he replied
"Yes...I've heard." she said rather awkwardly
"Well this will be fun." the Prime Minister added
"Definitely..." Więcesław replied through gritted teeth
"We'll just have to wait and see what he says about immigration. I hope we haven't opened Pandora's box with that one." the Prime Minister said
"As do I." Więcesław replied
"Oh that looks like his plane there." he added looking up to the sky and pointing.
"Well good luck to us then." the Prime Minister responded

The two then simultaneously had a deep breath before turning around and facing where the plane would taxi into.

Can you change Solonya name on the map to Solonia please. I'm not changing it or anything just putting the english version of it's name xD.

Yay! You're back!

In a shooting today in San Esperito City 17 people have been murdered. The murders are believed to be drug related. This is the 26th shooting in SE City this month with the police believed to be at a breaking point with around 2 shootings everyday. The murders have lead to calls for the government to declare a state of emergency to deal with the situation. This year there has already been a 58% increase in drug related violence compared to last year.

The impact is also felt on the youngest in the country with around 237,000 under 16s having lost at least one parent to the gun violence. On the scene of the shooting a young girl could be seen crying over the body of her dead father. "The impact on our young people is immense. Sometimes it can lead their family to fall even further into poverty because if they lose a parent, especially a father, a large proportion of their income is gone. So then they may be forced to leave school to help support the family meaning that facilities to help them with their mental health are lost. The government really needs to step up in this regard." said child psychologist Dr. Luisa Murillo.

The good news from this extremely sad story is that the SE City police chief, Raul Arboleda, says the police are on the trail of the person who committed this horrific crime.
