To say the state ministry strongly condemns these attacks would be a understatement. They constitute a brutal and inconceivable act of villainy and terrorism the likes of which have not been seen for some time. The lack of response from the government of Nya Åland, whom publicly does not acknowledge the right of its own people to practice any religion than the state sanctioned one, is also deeply concerning.

It is therefor the following measures are to be enacted:

• All Cascadian citizens are to evacuate Nya Åland, effective at immediate convenience.
• Four ships, frigates RCS Columbia, Victoria and Monongahela, as well as tender Courageous are to depart at once for international waters near Nya Åland. They shall oversea any evacuation measures needed should civil aviation degrade.
• The government of Nya Åland is immediately called upon to, at the least, end the violence. If the government of Nya Åland is unable to protect a Christian population it denounces, then the international community shall be more than willing to take them in.

Sincerely,
Charles Morris
Minister for State

She shrugged, reclining into the couch. "To be blunt I don't quite know yet, but I'd assume there's something in mind for everyone." She laughed lightly, "I'll send someone downstairs to find out." She sipped her wine again, "So, anything of note happening up north?"

"Likewise, Sir", she nodded to Peter before looking to Cerys "Madam." She smiled upon greeting the two - She wasn't quite familiar with what the official title would be for Peter, her staff had spent the last twenty minutes googling and still were divided between "Your Highness" and "Your Excellency." In any case, she'd rather pick a more neutral but respective pronoun rather than get proper protocol wrong.

"Thank you." She smiled lightly, taking the gift before handing it to an aide. "I don't have anything on me, unfortunately, but rest assured we won't let you leave empty handed. Or with a empty stomach." She laughed lightly, allowing aids to collect their bags. "Let's get you out of this stuffy terminal." She led them outside to the waiting convoy of vehicles. It was a crisp fall day, snow lightly falling but not quite accumulating yet - a climate the Achkaerinese were surely used to.

A police officer guided the three to a limousine where they sat down, Minerva sipping a drink of red wine that had been prepared. "I find the wine helps ease the nerves for things like this. You're free to drink up if you want", she nodded, before jokingly looking over at Cerys. "Assuming your uncle lets you."

Elizabethians 'Mildly upset' over misspelling of state's name



York, Elizabeth - Fans are much more upset over the MFA's continued misspelling of the state's name than the teams defeat to Kaitaine, overnight polling suggests.

The tiny state of 470,000's football team which only was opened in 2012 faced a crushing 3-nill defeat to Kaitaine yesterday, however Team Captain Jacob Scott remarked he was proud of his team for making it into the MFA finals for the first time, even if the team didn't get far. However, fans seemed much more upset over the Mundus Football Association's continued misspelling of the state's name as "Elisabeth" instead of 'Elizabeth.'

'It's like they didn't even care enough to google it.' remarks local resident Gad Klane. 'Really a slap in the face.'

The Mundus Football Association has yet to comment on the mixup.

so approved (but i have no  actual power on the region lol)

hi,

First thing. I don't claim to have any mandate as Premier with one whole vote. But it outlines the numerous problems we have.


To be frank, we face two options:

1) Remove all Chancellory involvement in government and make the positions forum/region administrative only.
2) Remove the government and function as a absolute monarchy.

The 'constitutional monarch' train left the station at this point years ago. We may have had one under Ava, but what we currently have amounts to a President-for-Life or Absolute Monarch. Sure, on paper, the monarch's powers are defined by the constitution, but the institution of a constitutional monarchy is dependent on the monarch being unbiased and uninvolved, The Crown puts this well, saying the job of the monarch in a modern democracy is to do nothing; and doing nothing requires the upmost energy.

Beatrice already functions as a politicized figure with political authority rather than a monarch with ceremonial authority except in utmost crises, so at this point the only two options are to remove that power or just formalize it.

rokk can have a mil base named "Queen Miyū Military Base (QMMB)" in Cascadia on the tip like so:

He shrugged, looking over his array of food; poking it as if testing if it was safe to consume before actually taking a bite out of it; shrugging. "Yeah, feels too much like-...Wait." He looked back at her, a eyebrow raising. "You were homeschooled?" He shrugged, having been in public schools his whole life. "How did you, like, make friends?" He grinned lightly, taking another sip of his juice to wash down the food.

BREAKING
DURHAM, COLUMBIA - Recent reports have confirmed that the bank robber of yesterday's First Cascadian bank robbery has been cornered in a cabin in the woods in Durham Township, Columbia. Police scanners indicate the suspect has a family of four hostage in the cabin. Police would not let our reporters on scene get closer than 1 mile away from the developing situation as the scene is swarmed by dozens of local police, Columbian State Troopers and a arriving Cascadian Mounted Police tactical team.

Columbia State Trooper Lieutenant Kelly Johnson confirmed that negotiations were underway and that the agencies goal was to end the situation "Without bloodshed." - CBC will update as this situation develops.

He shrugged, "I'll move my stuff out of your room when I can like, find a roommate." He shrugged, kinda surmising as to how unprepared he was for this. They followed the crowd towards the food, "So, I didn't catch what you were majoring in?"

PIKEVILLE, ARCADIA - Amid a alarming Opioid crisis in rural Cascadia, a city of 80,000 in Arcadia today admitted it is completely out of Naloxone. Naloxone, known better by its trade name Narcan, is a critical drug in reversing the effects of a opioid overdose and is often required to save someone's life after they stop breathing due to a overdose. However today the Pikeville Fire Department confirmed it had used its last available dose of the drug last night.

"We simply can't afford it." noted chief Jane Buckley, "When we save someone four, five, six times in a month we go through stocks quickly and we aren't getting enough money back to afford new shipments." - The chief also admitted that Arcadia as a state had a major shortage, "Even if I was to put a order in tonight, we'd be lucky to get half of what we ordered in three weeks time - if that." - Arcadia is Cascadia's geographically largest but smallest by population state, encompassing a wide width of the Cascadian mountain range while being completely landlocked aside from river access. Once a bustling industrial hub, Arcadia now is much poorer by capital than her sister states as industry moves out, sending the state into what is best described as a 'death spiral' where those who can afford to leave leave, meaning less tax revenue gets to those who can't afford to leave.

The seeming existential crises of the Arcadian blue collar worker has lead to now unemployed workers and even teens picking up heroin and opioids in droves; Pikevile has a overdose rate ten times the national average, with "As many as thirty overdoses in a single day", according to chief Buckley. She further commented, "It really has picked up in the last five, six years. We had over one hundred deaths last year alone, and that number only seems to be going up."

The Arcadian state house in Wayne has confirmed Pikeville will receive a emergency shipment of 200 doses of Naloxone "As soon as the truck gets there.", but even the state house spokesperson Chuck Wells noted that "This is not a long term solution to the dire problem our state faces."
