I was intending to have this meeting a little closer to the heart of the festival, but the number of people that attended it greatly exceeded our expectations. I hope your flights here were calm and that you were met well with your accommodations here in Kyoto. Personally, I'd like to welcome you all. Empress Valeria, thank you for coming all this way. I hope that Infiny can find its democratic footing. Japan doesn't mind helping out an ally, however, specifics can be talked about at a future time. King Henry, I'd like to thank you for coming all the way from the United Kingdom. Hopefully I will be able to meet you in Westminster one day to help foster the ties between our nations. I do look forward to working alongside the United Kingdom in many regards. President Dawes, I am glad you could make it on such short notice. The invitations were sent out after I left for Honolulu so I apologize if I impeded on your schedule.

Now, if any of you have seen how I govern, you'll realize I'm not one to take the scenic route when doing something. Since, I've finished with my introduction, I'd like to get to the point of this meeting. I have sent out a classified memorandum to each of you specifying that this meeting is about the ICC, an international military, economic, and political organization that seemingly grows in power the longer it exists. The ICC has done nothing to warrant backlash or retaliation from the world, but there is nothing preventing them doing such things. That is the main reason I invited you all here. I decided that four of the most powerful nations in the world should come together to discuss this matter.

Now, I do understand that the United Kingdom may be limited on what it can do, as well as any of the four of us, so I am open to discussion on this matter. I just don't want the ICC to gain power and go unchecked."

Valeria: Please don't apologize for leading us this way, your Excellency, it is with the best of intentions and I do not feel deceived. The truth is, I deeply share your sentiments. We have seen a rampant bloc suppress liberty and suspend democracy, aggressive throughout in their behavior and beliefs. We have not been able to oppose it - they have enslaved the Danubians in our failure. So I agree, we need to come together and oppose this vile pact and free the oppressed souls in its territory.

I have to be honest - the Imperial Federation is not militarily powerful enough to oppose the ICC. Our naval inability was put on full display when we tried to break the siege of Ragusa, forced to resort to subversion as we were unable to defeat the Soviet-Furstian blockade. This is an unacceptable status quo. We see natures in the East of Europe being actively threatened. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine have been trampled by the Soviets already, and if we don't act, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Romania may soon follow. I very much welcome a common approach to those nations to which the defense of liberty is fatefully entrusted.

Dear RGT Group,

The International Investment Group (IIG) is a corporation that has followed your story of success for quite some time now, and we will congratulate you with the profits that you have made already. The IIG is constantly looking for new opportunities and we thus naturally found you. Given the current economic situation in Europe and elsewhere, we think it might prove profitable if we were to integrate our economies further by working closer together than ever before.

One of our subsidiaries is Caterham Vehicles, a company that is known across the globe for its high-quality automobiles and racing cars. Caterham Vehicles has decades of experience in manufacturing vehicles and they have never in their long history accounted for a loss.

As the RGT Group owns US Motors Europe Ltd., we would like to inquire whether it would be possible if our two companies work together more closely. That is to say, the two companies would conclude an ‘agreement of partnership’ in which regulations are made between our corporations so that they can more easily share expertise, materials and financial assets. In this proposal, we would like to acquire 10 per cent of USME Ltd.’s shares. In return, we offer you a similar percentage of our shares in VC should you desire it.

Please let us know if you would like to get advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

EXPLOSION ROCKS TIRANA, 9 KILLED AND DOZENS INJURED

A group calling themselves the "Last Battalion" has claimed responsibility for a car bomb explosion at a market earlier today. On scene are NBI agents and local police.
Details at this time are coming in as they unfold. The main concern is that the group is of the same name that devastated the United States many years ago. It is unsure if this is the same group or just a group emulating the now defunct terror group.

If more happens we will update you all.

Athens, Greece
War room

Archon Metraw "Is it the same group?"

General Alexander Theo: "Yes sir. Our intelligence gathered in North Bulgaria confirms the Last Battalion is still in operation. They went into hiding after the war in the U.S. ended. They came over and have since been hiding, and building their numbers. If the Americans didn't know, they will be able to figure it out quickly."

Metraw: "meanwhile I'm trying to avoid looking at my EYP director..."

EYP Director Dellinger: "Sir, the Americans wont interfere. This is a Hellenic operation. If they try interfering they risk dragging themselves into war with the USSR and Furstia. The Last Battalion will be dealt with by us.

General Alexander: "Intelligence gathered by Special Forces and EYP agents on the ground have highlighted 2 Last Battalion camps in North Bulgaria. With your order we can strike those targets by air within 2 hours utilizing F-16s and a series of missile strikes. North Bulgaria will be informed of the strike after it occurs. I suggest telling our allies in the area after it is done as well.

Metraw; " I'm supposed to have dinner with their ambassador tomorrow...do it General."

Message from the ESAU

After discussion amongst the member states of ESAU, a majority have decided to deny the request of the The hellenes leagueto join the ESAU an observer. While all the members of ESAU value strong relationships with nations around the world, we believe ESAU must represent Asian nations, Asian values, and Asian interests. As such, our membership will be restricted to nations in the Asia-Pacific cultural and geographical sphere.

We hope the The hellenes league will be willing to form a fruitful and cooperative relationship with the ESAU and its member states in other meaningful ways.

Notice to Donau-bundesreich, Novaya rossiyskaya imperiya

Roughly 1 hour ago the Hellenic Air Force struck ground targets between Pavel & Beltsov in North Bulgaria. We are sending you this notice as we are allies, and you are also nations close to the area.

The ground targets consisted of camps that operate as supply & munition depots and training grounds for members of the Last Battalion, a group who claimed responsibility for the car bomb in Tirana earlier today.

We acted on intelligence and the camps are now destroyed with a suspected 30 members of the Last Battalion group killed.

The North Bulgarian government has been informed of the attack, to which they dissent. Diplomatic avenues are being taken to cool relations between the North Bulgarian government and the Hellenic Government.

We will provide updates as needed.

We have reached out formally to the government of Lanfang, and all ESAU nations to form and establish official relations, with no response.

We are prepared to invest, to trade, and to work together in areas of interests that ESAU nations and the Hellenic government share, which are similar and in some cases, are the same.

We will continue to wait for these official diplomatic relations to be established, and we will continue to press the issue.

"Japan is willing to work alongside all three of your nations as much as possible. I also agree with President Dawes. Even though we all have strong influence over geopolitical matters, that doesn't go that far all the time. I have concerns that the New Russian Empire is going to get close to nations to make sure it can be self-sufficient in a way. While I am against tricking nations to hand over power to another nation, I am willing to speak to various nations around the world to help us just in case the ICC decides to act out against anyone.

While tensions are relatively low during this time, it only takes one thing to push us to the brink of war. I do want to make it very clear that Japan's last resort is war, however, that is a long way away. Japan is willing to help build up the Infinian military, especially the navy. We're willing to work with the United Kingdom in any way we can. We're also willing to go forward with the ideas that we put forward in our meeting, President Dawes. My main issue with all of this is that it can't be known to anyone except the four of us, unless people are wholeheartedly willing to join with us against the ICC. If any nation knows that we are against them, it will bring war to our doorstep faster than we can hold it back."

Dear Dame Cooper,

Firstly, let me thank you for your letter and the kind words you made with regards to RGT Group. Certainly I agree with the sentiment of your message with regards to integration of economies for the sake of mutual benefits. Indeed the economic situation in Europe has taken a number of blows following various conflicts and the rise of governments openly opposed to free enterprise so it is important we maintain as broad a market as possible.

RGT Group already has a strong base in the UKOB and we are very grateful for that. Whether that be looking after assests owned by Romanovans in UKOB or clients based in UKOB.

We are very familiar with Caterham vehicles, particularly its racing cars which are world renowned. However we feel that we would not have much to offer Caterham vehicles in terms of increasing its presence in other markets. As you will be aware, the Romanovan market is quite small and with the newly established US Motors Europe Ltd. in Primorsk, we expect US car brands to dominate the market here (specifically Dodge and GM model cars who are co-owners of USME Ltd.).

We are currently not seeking to sell any of our shares in USME Ltd. at this time as this is still a relatively new business venture we began with our US partners and businessman Mr. Ivan Golitsyn. However I cannot speak for our partners so I would suggest for representitives from IIG to meet with members of the board of USME Ltd to look at any opportunities for investment and/or cooperation.

Kind regards,

Question of the Week!

Does your nation have a national day/independence day? How is it celebrated?

- - - - - - - - - -

Eulumia's national independence day is the 17th of August, marking the day in 1945 when Eulumia declared independence from Orange-Bourgogne following Japanese occupation during WWII. Their European colonizer began to launch militant incursions into Eulumia, with the intent to hold onto the massive archipelago nation for its vast array of valuable resources, but Eulumia fought right back, leading to several violent skirmishes and battles. Eventually, Orange-Bourgogne agreed to recognize Eulumian independence and withdrew its forces from Southeast Asia following a combination of international pressure to decolonize and fierce Eulumian defense, leading to Eulumia becoming an independent republic.

Independence Day in Eulumia is a federal holiday and as such all government institutions are shut down as well as most businesses. Time is spent with friends and families, preparing and eating traditional meals, going to beaches, parades and general festivities run by volunteers in larger cities such as Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapura, Yogyakarta, Penang, Makassar, Padang, and Sorong, and large firework displays can be found across the nation. It's also commonly seen for people to wear Moon Orchids (the Eulumian national flower) in their hair or as accessories, and wear blue and white.

Infiny's official day is July 23rd, officially known as Diya nacijeka ye deven victoriyi, the National Day of the Twin Victories. This is because it refers to two events - the defeat of the Italians in East Africa in 1942, and Infinian reunification in 1949. Just before the outbreak of the Second World War, in the summer of 1939, Infiny was conquered by Italy. Several partisan movements rose up - and continued to resist the Italian occupier throughout the conflict that had meanwhile spiraled into the Second World War. Italy managed to seize large chunks of East Africa, but by summer 1941, the tide has turned, as allied invasions from the Sudan and landings in Kenya were the first incursions into the Italian occupation. But the Infinians had not been silent - four major liberation fronts had organized themselves. The Oromo and Amharic in the former Republic of Ethiopia, and the Nationalist and Communist resistances in the former Fourth Republic of Infiny.

The Nationalists, led by former president Lij Taffari Makonnen, started a huge uprising in the Northwest of Infiny on November 1st, 1941, known as the Mogadishu Uprising. The battle for the city lasted 12 days, but in the end, Lij Tafari and his forces were victorious. As the Nationalists struck a deal with the Oromo and Amharic resistances to reintegrate Ethiopia and Infiny after the war, the communists refused the government of Lij Tafari and set up their own government in the South of Infiny (Kenya), led by Tsion Benti. The Italians were ousted after their crushing defeat at the battle of Gondar on July 23rd, 1942, the first celebrated victory.

After the war, Infiny was divided between the capitalist Fifth Republic of Infiny, and the Communist People's Republic of Infiny. The peace did not last long - in January 1949, fighting between the communists and nationalists broke out. The war lasted only half a year, as the Communists greatly overestimated their capabilities to wage war and underestimated the Republic. The Republic won a crushing victory at the battle of Chiyeda (Dadaab) in early March, and as Nairobi and Mombasa fell by July, the war was over. On July 23rd, the formal document of unification was signed, incorporating the People's Republic into the Fifth Republic, led once again by President Lij Tafari Makonnen. He had seen Infiny through one of its most challenging times, leading the nation between 1938 and 1957. His reign ultimately saw Infiny triumphant, however, and the resilience of the nation is celebrated in the Diya nacijeka ye deven victoriyi, the national day of the Twin Victories. Symbolically, it has also become the day on which every five years the Federal Convention is held following the Second Constitution of the Imperial Federation, issued in 2019.

The day is a national holiday, as all governmental institutions are closed, except when it's a Federal Convention year. Blue and Yellow are commonly seen colors, especially through the use of African Daisies and African Lilies. In larger cities, such as Mogadishu-Xamara, Nairobi, Finfinne, and Rhapta, public celebrations are available throughout the day with massive firework shows at night. The Empress is traditionally not in Mogadishu that day, but in Malao, where in the early morning she speaks to the Infinian people to wish them well during the national day.

Kadayawan Festival Back On After Being Postponed

The Kadayawan Festival is set to take place in two weeks after being briefly postponed due to security risks. The city council of Davao voted to postpone the celebrations due to mild fears of terrorism and other security related risks in the region. Local police and military officials have stated that the celebrations are safe to be held and that there is no longer a serious security risk. It has been confirmed that the capital has sent extra police officers to the city to enforce the law and ensure peace and safety during the upcoming event.

Mount Merapi Erupts Again; Sea Turtle Release

Two days ago in Provinsi Sulumain (Sulumain Province), two individuals were killed from the accidental detonation of a World War II era bomb leftover from the fierce fighting between Allied Nations and Imperial Japan in the liberation of Eulumia. Individuals Luke and Li worked for a nongovernmental organization that aims to map out the locations of residual active ordnance leftover in Eulumia from the World War II timeframe in efforts to make traversing remote countrysides safer for everyone. Unfortunately though, the bomb located in the Tasahe region just outside of the provincial capital Honiara likely was far more sensitive than previously mapped ordnances. The two mappers unfortunately detonated the bomb accidentally, resulting in a tragic accident and large blast radius. Officials from Honiara and Jakarta are investing this incident further and are concerned as to why this ordnance wasn't reported to the to government immediately upon discovery as it's located within Tasahe, a largely residential section of Honiara. More on this story later.

Several months ago, an individual names Cai Puatong travelling from Kuala Lumpur, Pehang Province to Makassar, South Sulawesi was detained on accounts of smuggling methamphetamines. He was put before a court and was charged for drug trafficking charges, and subsequently sentenced to capital punishment, and was transferred to a holding prison within Jakarta. However, it's been reported that using materials from a project within the prison's kitchen, the prisoner was able to dig a tunnel through his cell and into the waste pipes of the building and escape into the Jakarta sewage system, where based upon investigation, it is resumed he escape into the city above. Cai Puatong is now at large and any tips or leads as to where he is located should be directed to the Jakarta Police Department and will be compensated.

Earlier today, a volunteer run and government sanctioned group of sea turtle conservationists released over 10,000 baby Olive Ridley sea turtles into the sea from the Gianyar beach in Bali. The group hopes to help bolster the population number of wild sea turtles; despite the Olive Ridley sea turtle being one of the more abundant types in the world's oceans, they are still classified as "vulnerable". In addition to the 10,000+ baby sea turtles being released to the wild, the organization also released 25 adult ssa turtles back into the wild following their rescue and rehabilitation.

Earlier today, Eulumia's most active volcano, Mount Merapi located on the nation's most densely populated island housing nearly half the nation's population, Java, erupted again. With Volcanic Ash being spewed nearly 6.4km (4mi) into the air, a red alert has been issued by Eulumia's Volcanic Observatory Notice for Aviation, and as such, the Solo international airport has been temporarily shut down. The local Diaster Mitigation Agency (DMA) has issued strict instructions for people to remain outside of the 3km exclusionary zone around Mount Merapi. Beyond the 3km should be safe; the nearby city of Yogyakarta (30km away) issued statements that air travel will be momentarily grounded as the volcanic ash settles or moved, and as of now it seems to be traveling north away from the city. The Eulumian Geological Disaster Technology and Research Development Center issued a statement for locals and nearby city officials to keep close eyes on the volcano for any announcements regarding eruptions from the nation's most active volcano, in case the need for evacuation should arise.

Since September 16th, Eulumia has experienced 9 notable earthquakes ranging from 4.1 to 5.2 magnitude on the Richter scale. Most of these earthquakes have taken place in or around the island of Sulawesi or the Maluku islands; so far damage and loss of life has been minimal however official reports have not yet been finalized and as such those figures remain to be seen.

INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS

Romanovans at home and abroad are celebrating the 122nd anniversary of Romanovskaya's Independence from the Russian Empire which was granted by Tsar Nicholas II on September 21, 1898. This year, Romanovskaya celebrates under the theme, “United and Patriotic for Romanovskaya!”. Many Celebrations are taking place marking the freedom and prosperity Romanovskaya enjoys in the face of war and growing authoritarianism around the globe.

Princess Zephyrine addressed the nation on television:

My dearest citizens of Romanovskaya, I wish to send you courdial greetings as we celebrate our nations independence day once again. It is quite easy to take for granted the freedoms we enjoy in Romanovskaya, and this year we wish to remind people to be proud of the liberty and freedom every one of you have worked to achieve. It is important we acknowledge this effort as there many millions of people around the world who cannot enjoy these same freedoms. We must teach our children the value of this freedom to ensure they can prosper in the future, just as our parents did for us.

Events to celebrate Romanovskaya's Independence include a parade of lanters to be held in all major towns throughout the country, inviting all residents to take part. A number of other parades are also scheduled to take place throughout the rest of the week for students representing their schools.

The Romanovan State Library in Vyborg is celebrating Independence with an exhibition entitled: “A Romanovan party: the Independence celebrations of September 21, 1900-2010.” It will be available until Sept. 30, and admission is free.

In addition, as part of the celebration of the 122nd Anniversary of Independence of Romanovskaya, the conference “How Romanovskaya celebrated the 25, 50, 75 and 100 anniversary of its Independence” will be held on Sept. 24 at 10 am at the Gogolya Library in Korela. It will be led by Dr. Anatoly Leonidovich Dobronravov, from the Vyborg University School of History.

Shows featuring Romanovan music acts will take place throughout the week at the Moskovskiy Theatre in Vyborg.

Tumolian Times Report :

After months of harsh political battle a new parliament is finally assembled. In a joined session of the entire Estate-Assembly the King Timulon III will open this session of parliament.

The King arrived at the parliament building at around 10.00 o'clock. This year the King arrived at parliament with his eldest Daughter The Royal Princess Kathelion. In comparison to previous years where the Queen would accompany him. This is not the case this year because the Queen is still in recovery from a hip operation last month. So this year the Heir apparent will join him. But as every year they still arrive with the royal carriage at the parliament building.
The joined session will take place as is tradition in the Chamber of Representatives. Fun sidenote is the reasoning behind this tradition is, that when the first opening of parliament took place when the Chamber of Senate was still in construction so they had to convene in the Chamber of Representatives and this stayed in the next years.
During the speech of His Majesty he spoke about the plans of the new Cabinet for this year. After the speech the KIng and The Princess left the Parliament building and returned to the Cape Town Palace. At the Palace the King and the Princess this time with her husband returned to the steps of the Cape Town Palace and waved to the crowd on Freedom Park.

It is now expected that in the coming days the General Discussions about the budget will begin, reporting on this will of course follow in the coming days.

The members inside the vehicle were Master Sergeant Chino Isao, Leading Private Imada Ryuu, Leading Private Muraoka Toshiyuki, Leading Private Isa Dai, Private First Class Yamasaki Arata, and Private First Class Iseri Ryota. Secretary of Defense, Imada Narahiko has stated that any and all amphibious exercises are halted until the Department of Defense can investigate the reason for the equipment malfunction.

A 3.7M earthquake was registered about 29 kilometers off the coast of Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture. Large waves did batter against the coast as a result from this earthquake, but there was unexpectedly very little damage done as a result. More earthquakes are expected and Japanese scientists are fearful of an earthquake stronger than the earthquake that led to the Fukushima Daiihai nuclear disaster of 2011 which was a 6.6M earthquake. They are predicting the "Major Earthquake" to be anywhere from 7.6M to 9.1M. They also predict that the "ME" will occur in the next decade or so. Preparations are being made just in case the prediction comes true.

Based on the North Bulgarian government’s unwillingness to cooperate with investigations into the border crossing bombing and the bombing in Tirana, a series of steps are being taken by the Hellenic Government over the next several weeks.

Part of that process is that we are announcing a travel advisory to The Republic of North Bulgaria. It is believed that elements in the nation pose a threat to Hellenic Citizens traveling in the area.

Further announcements regarding North Bulgaria will be made later on.
