Congress approves limited sanctions on 
Furstia
In light of recent accusations and evidence against the Government of Furstia, Congress has approved the passing of limited economic sanctions until further notice. Once more information comes to light, either more sanctions will be passed or they will be lifted in their entirety pending ongoing investigations by both the Australian and Furstian Governments regarding the terror attack in the former.

Cuppsville Chronicle
Census
The Cuppsville Metropolitan Area just concluded a census wherein the metropolitan area grew an average of 1.6% in population and 3.1% in size year over year for the last decade. The population of Cuppsville Metropolitan now sits at a staggering 9,141,799 persons. With this being said, the city is becoming crowded and pollution is becoming a problem. Mass transit isnt able to keep up with the demand and city officials are looking to quickly overhaul and expand the network to accommodate an addition 1.5 million residents. With this being said, seeing how the bulk of people in Cuppsville are blue collar workers, cost of living remains reasonable. Poverty ticked up during the decade to 11.2% while unemployment dropped to 2.75%. The population of the country also grew to just shy of 27 million people, 80% of which occurred in urban areas.
Some Information Released for Project 001
The first project under President Madaki has been quiet to the public recently. That was, until some information about the city was released just yesterday. The first information is that the city will cause a huge job spike, although no word has been released on the exact numbers. President Madaki said that West Africans will come first and foremost for the jobs, as long as they meet the requirements. Another piece of information is that the city is planned to be around 1,140km² (440mi²) in area. With a planned 30 year timeline laid ahead, the city will be done is sectors. The cost of the city has not been disclosed to the public. President Madaki has also brought in North China (The rexist rijk) to help build the city. He states that is it needed help, but also strengthens ties with the nation.

Aftermath of the National Strike
~ OBBC News
The National Strike, an event organised by mister Arthur of Avalon MP (Regnum Unitum), Leader of the Opposition, to oppose the Inclusive Society Act, has come to an end now after three days of protests and demonstrations. In a short statement, Mr Avalon said that he is “extremely proud of what has been achieved, [how much] support for their cause was shown, and how powerful they were able to vocalise their message”. He did refer to a few minor incidents, notably one in Birmingham where clashes with the police went violent, but said that “if an event with multi-million people involved has but one serious incident involving not more than a few thousand of them, I consider that a relatively peaceful one”.
The markets responded less enthusiastic. The Westminster City Stock Exchange (WCSE) dropped “considerably, but not dramatically” to speak with the words of Sir Nathan Sterling, who is the Governor of the Bank of Orange-bourgogne. The WCSE saw a decrease in value of about 0.7 per cent, which might not sound like a lot, but actually involves dozens of millions of Florines.
The Cultural Affairs Secretary Madeleine FitzGerald MP (Vox Populi) said that the Government is “absolutely despised” with the “abhorrent and violent actions” taken by the Opposition. “They do not like our policies, for which we have a democratic mandate from the people of this nation, by the way, so they turn to violence to force upon us their outdated and morally deplorable views”.
The police is still searching for people to be arrested on the suspicion and accusation of “illegal rioting , property damage, and dissidence”. Several debates have been asked for by Members of Parliament, but due to the already busy schedule, they will be held at a later time.
More on this as it develops.
Official statement – Union sanctions on Socialist Republic
~ Department of State for External Affairs
The Government of Orange-bourgogne takes notice of the news that the Union’s Congress has passed regulation to impose upon the Socialist Republic of Furstia, a nation with which we have strengthened our relations relatively recently.
What the Government finds particularly controversial, is that acknowledges that there are still investigations in place to determine what the role was of the Furstian authorities, yet at the same time seemingly finds it so obvious that these authorities were involved with the recent attack in Sydney, that they found it justified to impose economic sanctions.
We also noticed that the Union’s Congress apparently found the accusations strong enough and backed by an absolute minimum of evidence to consider these drastic measures. Besides, little is done with the defences that the Socialist Republic has made in regards of this matter.
The Government of Orange-bourgogne objects to the implementation of economic sanctions on an ally which has not been proved to have committed any wrongdoing, without it having had full and honest opportunities to defend itself. As the investigation the Union Congress refers to is still worked on, we see no alternative but to condemn the economic sanctions against Furstia, and hope that other nations will follow in our footsteps, at least until the investigations have been completed.

Erayii Expo Team Public Congraulations
The official account of expo
Members of the Erayii Expo Team would like to thank the Expo for letting them be apart of such a wonderful series of events. All nations clearly fought hard and earned their positions with pride. As such, they'd like to congratulate all nations who took part of this and all the people from across the globe who watched.
They do hope to partake in the next events and hope to a better position for themselves next time. They must, however, give a special thanks to Infiny, 
Labyrnna and Belagia for besting them.
Reichministry of Foreign Affairs
The Reich would like to state they firmly stand with Furstia against these wrongful allegations likely fabricated by the Australian Government. The Reich urges for an unbias investigation by the The world congress in order to truly figure out who truly was behind these attacks as well as the Australians 'evidence' to ensure that they were not fabricated to give their nation a scapegoat.
As such the Reich urges -greater australia- to open its nation up for investigation if willing Eraus would love nothing more than to find who did this and way. For the people of Australia and for the whole world.

(Jornham Biekaan back home arrives at Antwerp Station)
Belagia wins Silver at EXPO! Jornham Biekaan declared youngest semi-finalist in EXPO History, made national hero.
Great news from nearby Labyrnna today has sent Jornham Biekaan to becoming the most talked-about kid across the country today. After the 16 year-old made international headlines after crushing the competition in the Paris Circuit of Week 4, many Belagians have taken note of the great victory, even taking out to local streets to celebrate Belagia's sudden rise in International Auto Racing.
Being the first -and most well-known F1 Rated- driver by the Belagian Auto Racing Association (BARA), Biekaan, an Antwerp native, became the primary driver for the recently-formed Belagian EXPO Team. Due to the rookie nature of the team, which included mechanics that lacked F1 experience, Team Belagia (as they are publicly known) struggled considerably in certain races within the first three weeks of competition. It was not until the Paris Circuit that Biekaan and team managed to break through struggles (one of which included a cracked engine near the end of Race 1) and top first.
The Cross-country segment would be perhaps another feat of persistence by Team Belagia: riding on the fever of Victory from Paris, Biekaan managed to out-race some of the most reputable names in EXPO, to include the highly reputable Team Eraus. The most difficult moment for the team came when a back-tire blew up around 400 meters from the finish, bringing Biekaan to sixth. It was around this time when Biekaan gave a motivational speech to his team and everybody re-focused after the major setback. Despite finishing in only fifth, Biekaan managed to bring back home a victory for his country.
Biekaan returned to his home by Train, being greeted with papparazi press, fans, and a huge entourage congratulating his defiance of the odds: once a previously unknown teenager riding in go-karts in Antwerp's Industrial District, now an international celebrity.
Now a celebrity, his first words to his first papparazi press were reportedly (in Flemish): "I congratulate all teams in EXPO for perhaps the most challenging first league race that the team and I have embarked. I especially congratulate Team Eraus for putting in all the work they did: so much so, it gave us sort of a hard time, which allowed us to re-focus our thoughts and push further than what we would anticipate. Next year will be rather interesting. Thank you."
Reportedly, Biekaan's social media following has also increased dramatically, now having over 1.5 million followers on Instagram and around the same numbers on Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.
HM King Francis has also posted an official correspondence of congratulations to Biekaan, Team Belagia, and all the teams of EXPO on the Royal Family's website earlier today as well.

PRINCESS IRINA II STADIUM, VYBORG, ROMANOVSKAYA
The large home support cheered for the Romanovan team as they entered the stadium, lead out by captain Edgar Burdukovsky. Among the spectators was Princess Zephyrine and her husband Prince Hendrik, each of them standing and giving the team a round of applause as the walked into the stadium.
As the game gets underway the home side make a very good start and the atmosphere inside the Princess Irina II stadium grows, the noise from the fans growing as they get behind their team.
Very good performances from all players, both in offence and defence to overcome their opponents and advance into the next round where they will face Team USA. A big challenge for the small Romanovan side but with home support they might pull off a shock!
OOC: hi im considering joining your region but I wanted to ask does the expansion application needs to be filled everytime you go to war with somehone and annex land

BREAK: IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD INCLUSIVE SOCIETY ACT EXTENDED
~ OBBC News
In a completely unexpected move, the Government has confirmed that it will extend the implementation period for the Inclusive Society Act with four more months. The great surprise came as Prime Minister Nichola Pankhurst MP (Social Republican Front) returned to Westminster City after having spent some time in her countryside home to recover from the busy tasks and responsibilities.
Up until this very moment, the Government viewed any change to the Inclusive Society Act as unnegotiable. Rumours suggest that if the Prime Minister did not take action demanded for by the millions of protestors in the National Strike, dozens of her backbench MPs would have resigned. The SRF has a “rough relationship” with the Inclusive Society Act: its predecessor, the Social Justice Bill was rejected by so many that the previous coalition government fell over it. With the present Act, barely enough MPs supported it to get passed through Parliament, with not even an simple majority voting in favour of it.
During the implementation period, the Act formally does not apply even though it became statute law, since the society should get a fair time to prepare for the contents. Earlier, the implementation period was set at six months.
Deputy Prime Minister John Brand MP (Vox Populi) said that he is “extremely frustrated” by the decision taken by the Prime Minister. He acknowledges that under the current plan, the Act will still come into force, but just at a delayed date. He also very firmly said that this will be the only alteration to anything related to the Act he is willing to accept. “We are not supporting it, but we can see the pressure put on the Prime Minister to move. […] If any other measure is backed to prevent the contents of this Act from coming into effect by the SRF again, we will no longer support this Administration. Parliament agreed to the provisions of this Act and it is time we stick by them to make the society of Orange-bourgogne inclusive for once and all”, he was quoted by our editors.
The Westminster City Stock Exchange (WCSE) reacted instantly, going up by about two per cent in the three hours following the confirmation of this new extension. Sir Nathan Sterling, Governor of the Bank of Orange-Bourgogne, said that he was “absolutely delighted to see that corporations will get more time to prepare themselves for the potential threats this Act imposes on them”. However, he still thinks “alongside the vast majority of economic and financial experts”, that the best thing would be to repeal the Inclusive Society Act entirely. That, though, will not happen, the Prime Minister said in her statement.
Caribbean News Center
The Governor of the State of Cuba today, Isabel Raya, has signed into law the Freedom of Religion Act, which allows individuals and companies to assert as a defense in legal proceedings that their exercise of religion and of conscience has been, or is likely to be, substantially burdened.
Opponents of this law suggest the law could potentially be harmful to the LGBT+ community. The Caribbean Human Right’s Council has filed a lawsuit against the State of Cuba in response.
