OOC: All these years of big talk, guess it really meant nothing. Thats fine, but the option will always be there for you once you get too desperate. Vostag will gradually fall into our orbit anyways, it will only be a matter of time. The future is Quing!

IC: The union between Empress Elvira I and Prince Joseph Alduin II, now Emperor-consort, has proven itself to be a happy, harmonious and loving one. As tradition dictates, the consort of a female monarch is granted the highest positions in the Hedran Armed Forces as well as the Grand Cross in all of Hedra’s national honours. The couple, obviously, has taken up residency in the Imperial Palace of Seville and since then the Empress and government have been slowly granting the Emperor-consort some authority over certain affairs, such as: appointing soldiers to the Imperial Guard; representing the Empress when needed; being a member of the Imperial Council; acting a diplomat between Hedra and Sovern; and many others.

The most important job, however, of a royal couple is to produce heirs. Elvira and Joseph fulfilled their duties and generated heirs to both the thrones of Hedra and Sovern.

Their first born, Prince Erik Alduin III, was born a strong child with striking blue eyes and golden blonde hair. He is expected to someday inherit the Sovern throne and reign as their Kaiser. Among the prince’s interests are sports, the fine arts, the art of war, and music. He is currently being prepared to be sent to continue his education in Sovern as a proper Sovern should.

The second chil, a boy, named Vasco Luiz. He was given two names as it is Hedran custom to name the child after other family members and/or saints, but he usually just goes by Vasco. He is expected to inherit his mother’s throne and become the next Emperor of Hedra. At birth, he was given the honorific title of “Don” as it is customary for all members of Hedran royalty and nobility to be styled as such. His older brother didn’t receive such a treatment as to not confuse the Sovern people with such an unique Hedran style of address. Don Vasco was also made “Prince of Ferragudo” which is the ancient title of the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Castilia. He is quite different from his brother, being born with black hair, a darker skin and lilac eyes, being much slimmer. Unlike his brother, he isn’t very keen in sports, he much prefers the lavish lifestyle of a prince and all the luxury and priviledge that comes with it, especially food and having other people to do things for you.

Two daughters soon followed. The first daughter, was called Maximiliana Alberta. It was decided that Maximiliana would be raised as a Hedran princess and, accordingly, was granted the honorific of “Dona”. Like many Hedran princesses, Dona Maximiliana is interested in fashion and arts, she acts as an ambassador to several Hedran fashion brands. Maximiliana is also known to have quite a strong personality, surely a trait inherited by some of her ancestors. Their youngest child was named Princess Elizabeth Alduin III, it was decided that she would be raised as a Sovern princess and is to be educated in Sovern methods and values, like her sister, she is also very interested in fashion and in the arts.

Dona Mariana Victoria, Vicky, is the Empress’ older sister and closest friend. The Empress is constantly seeking her for advice and companionship. The Empress’ grandmother, Duchess Felipa, is also a constant figure at the Imperial Palace. She is an unofficial representative of the old imperial Hedra from her father, Tybolt.

In other news, a religious sect independent from the central authority of Cyanism has been growing in rural Hedra. They label themselves as Azulists. They say they are against various decisions the Pope has recently made and outright defy his authority by not following certain rules and refusing to consider certain things as sins.

OOC: Due to some personal things that I have to take care of, and some other things...I will hereby be canceling my current role-playing series. I don't want to get into the details, but know that I will return to it in the near future. Despite my sudden shift to stop it, I will still be blockading Vostag, and patrolling the maritime territory that I have claimed. Maybe I can make it more about geo-politics and resources (in the Boreas Ocean), rather than rushing to war. The concept of using the solar eclipse is something I have to applaud myself for, and those that got the forewarning also deserve a good pat on the back. Thank you for all those who actually participated in the role-play, and ultimately made it fun when it lasted.

Thank you :)

OOC: Aaaaaaaaannnnndddddd we are back folks.

OOC: Wer are back!

ooc: alright, who tripped over the cord and knocked the plug out the outlet?

IC:

King Leopold sits in his office, overviewing the articles when his sister, Victoria, comes in.

"Brother, are the articles finally finished?" Says Victoria.

"Yes, I shall enact this into law soon enough." Says King Leopold the III.

A few hours later...

ARTICLE I: The Creation of the Federal Cultural Agency, or the F.C.A for short.

The Federal Cultural Agency, or F.C.A, will be the governing body responsible for overseeing and regulating all cultural activities within the nation. Any individual or organization found to be in violation of the cultural guidelines set forth by the F.C.A will face severe consequences, including hefty fines, public shaming, and potential blacklisting from participating in any cultural events in the future. The agency will have the power to conduct thorough investigations, issue warrants for search and seizure, and impose strict penalties on those who refuse to comply with cultural regulations.

In addition to enforcing cultural guidelines, the F.C.A will also have the authority to dictate what is deemed culturally acceptable and unacceptable within society. Any cultural practices or traditions that are deemed harmful, offensive, or divisive by the agency will be promptly banned, and those who continue to partake in such activities will face harsh disciplinary actions. The F.C.A will have the final say on all matters related to culture, and individuals will be expected to adhere to their rulings without question.

Furthermore, the F.C.A will have the power to monitor and control all forms of cultural expression, including art, music, literature, and fashion. Any cultural products that are deemed subversive, inappropriate, or inflammatory will be swiftly removed from the public domain, and those responsible for creating or distributing such content will face severe repercussions. The agency will operate with absolute authority, and individuals who wish to engage in cultural activities will be required to obtain permits and licenses from the F.C.A. Failure to comply with these regulations will result in immediate and severe punishment, including but not limited to imprisonment, forced labor, and fines that will cripple any dissenting voices.

ARTICLE II: Crop Management.

The Federal Cultural Agency will conduct frequent audits and inspections of farmers' crops to ensure that they are meeting the required quotas set by the government. Farmers found to be in violation of the quotas will face severe penalties, including fines, suspension of farming licenses, and possible imprisonment. The government will also have the authority to confiscate any surplus crops exceeding the allowed limits.

Furthermore, farmers who fail to comply with the crop management regulations will be denied access to government subsidies and financial assistance. The government will prioritize farmers who adhere to the guidelines and penalize those who do not, creating a system of rewards and consequences to ensure full compliance. Additionally, farmers who consistently exceed their quotas will be subject to increased scrutiny and stricter regulations to prevent abuse of the system.

To further enforce crop management regulations, the Federal Cultural Agency will implement a tracking system to monitor the production, distribution, and consumption of crops nationwide. Any discrepancies or irregularities in crop production will be thoroughly investigated, and farmers found to be engaging in fraudulent practices will face severe repercussions. The government will not tolerate any attempts to circumvent the crop management system and will take swift and decisive action against those who violate the rules.

ARTICLE III: One Religion.

The Federal Cultural Agency takes a firm stance on promoting Christianity as the only religion allowed in the kingdom. In order to mold a unified society, attendance at church services on Sundays and Wednesdays is mandatory for all citizens. Failure to comply will result in severe penalties, such as fines or even imprisonment. The Agency will closely monitor and enforce this regulation to ensure strict adherence to the national religion.

All other religions are strictly prohibited from being practiced within the kingdom. Any signs of observance of different faiths will be swiftly dealt with by the authorities. Temples, mosques, and synagogues will be dismantled, and their followers will be required to convert to Christianity. The Federal Cultural Agency will conduct regular inspections and raids to root out any underground religious activities, with stiff consequences for those caught breaking the law.

In an effort to maintain order and unity, the FCA has decreed that any dissent against the official religion will be met with harsh punishment. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspected non-Christian beliefs or practices to the authorities. Those found guilty of spreading heresy or attempting to convert others to a different faith will face severe consequences, up to and including exile from the kingdom. The Federal Cultural Agency will spare no effort in ensuring that Christianity remains the sole religion in the land.

ARTICLE IV: Preservation of Landmarks.

The protection and preservation of Kiago's historical landmarks is of utmost importance to the Federal Cultural Agency. Any act of vandalism, damage, or defacement of these significant structures will not be tolerated. Perpetrators will face severe consequences, including fines, imprisonment, and permanent bans from entering any historical site in the country. We will not hesitate to prosecute individuals who disregard the value and cultural significance of these landmarks.

In order to ensure the safety and integrity of these landmarks, security measures will be heightened, and surveillance will be increased. This includes the installation of security cameras, increased patrols by law enforcement, and the implementation of strict access control measures. Any suspicious activity near a historical landmark will be thoroughly investigated, and those found guilty of attempting to harm or deface the site will face swift and severe punishment.

Furthermore, educational programs and public awareness campaigns will be launched to emphasize the importance of respecting and preserving our cultural heritage. It is essential for all citizens to understand the significance of these landmarks and the role they play in preserving our history and identity as a nation. Schools, organizations, and individuals will be encouraged to participate in restoration efforts and community projects aimed at maintaining and promoting the rich history and cultural heritage of Kiago.

ARTICLE V: Educational Reforms.

The Federal Cultural Agency will rigorously enforce compulsory education laws, ensuring that every child within the jurisdiction attends school regularly. This will be achieved through regular monitoring of attendance records and strict penalties for parents who fail to comply with education mandates for their children. Additionally, the agency will implement a system of incentives to encourage students to stay in school, such as scholarships and access to educational resources. Those found to be truant or dropping out of school will face consequences, including fines and potential legal action against parents.

In rural areas where access to education is limited, the Federal Cultural Agency will prioritize the construction of new schools and educational facilities. This will include partnerships with local authorities and community organizations to identify areas with the greatest need for educational infrastructure. The agency will also work to recruit qualified teachers to staff these new schools and provide ongoing training and support to ensure a high standard of education. In cases where students must travel long distances to attend school, transportation assistance will be provided to ensure that all children have equal access to education.

Furthermore, the Federal Cultural Agency will conduct regular assessments of the quality of education in schools nationwide. This will involve evaluating curriculum standards, teacher performance, and student outcomes to identify areas for improvement. Schools that fail to meet minimum standards will be subject to intervention, including the possibility of restructuring or closure. The agency will also invest in innovative educational programs and resources to enhance the overall learning experience for students and equip them with the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Educational reforms will be prioritized as a key component of national development, with a focus on ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education that prepares them for future success.

"Great Qabadi Uprising" - Independence War against Israestine-Judah

Hailing from the eastern hills of Israestine-Judah, in a rigid region severely underdeveloped, a militia of Yellowist extremists have begun an armed uprising in the region, in the effort for Outer Qabadia to finally gain independence from the Jades. In the year 2025, the right-wing administration of the State of Israestine-Judah annexed the independence states of Gaza and Outer Qabadia, after two years of war, pulled much of the former world order in the Jade's favor. In spite of the Yellowist resistance, the weapons provided by the Hyperboreans permitted a Jade victory in the war. Since then, the Yellowists have been oppressed, and even their land in Gaza was sold off to the Hyperboreans, forcing millions to trek hostile Jade land to Outer Qabadia, a situation that has left many in the region building up their grievances, and arms...the last straw broke the camel's back when the Rodinians invaded, and devastated the region. The Qabadi are upset at the Rodinians, the Hyperboreans, and the Jades...and the world will witness true wrath.

4/26/2051 2:30 P.M.

The sun is near past noon, a Jade outpost is garrisoned by their foot soldiers, just outside a settlement established in the 2020's. The population is estimated to be approximately 340,000, including the garrison of 20,000 soldiers, considerably minute compared to the former years. After the punitive treaty imposed on the Jades by the Rodinians, a massive reduction in armed personnel has left many settlements poorly protected. The Yellowist jihadist militia of 42,000 foot soldiers, recently financed by another nation, feels comfortable enough to launch their first attack for a free Qabadi state, considering the situation and lack of enemy manpower. By 3:30 P.M. the hidden guerillas use the long shadows to assault the front gate of the outpost...

...Using explosives to destroy the gate, and a few watch towers, the output would eventually be overrun. Despite the claim to victory, the Yellowist militia faced heavy casualties on the battlefield. The densely urban environment gave the defenders a slight advantage, however structures are vulnerable to explosive devices, especially tall ones that can take out other buildings and streets nearby. The devastation was brutal, with reports being leaked that over 100,000 civilians were caught in the cross fire, and ended up as collateral damage. Upon fully capitulating the settlement, basically holding the whole town hostage, the Yellowist militia makes their intentions known.

The U.N.B. has most likely caught onto the situation, regardless of their relations with the Jade state. Through a virtual conference with the U.N.B. Assembly, a silhouette of a face appears on a screen, for all the representatives to see and hear. The voice is distorted, but obviously has a masculine tone, with an unknown accent. The U.N.B. headquarters can't find where the message is being broadcasted, due its encryption being extremely complicated, and almost foreign. The overall message is brief, and clear.

"...We the Kusha al'Ladin are a militant organization dedicated to establishing a free and independent state of Outer Qabadia, an eastern region in Isreastine-Judah. We have already captured five illegal settlements, and will be holding the civilians hostage until Israestine-Judah grants us full independence and recognition. Our demands are few and simple, give them to us and we will release the hostages back to Isreastine-Judah proper, and safeguard their lives. However, if the Isreastine-Judah government does not accept our demands in less then seventy-two hours, we will begin executing hostages...until our demands are met. For every hour that passes after the time limit, we will brand one hundred hostages with tattoos, and execute them...so they can not be buried in a Jadeist cemetery. We will do it until there are no more Jades left, and then we will carry on taking more illegal settlements, until there are no Jades left in Outer Qabadia. For the world to understand, every member of our militia is willing to die on this hill, and burn the world arounds us. We will not announce how many hostages there are, we will not allow the press to enter, and we will be hostile towards nations that openly support Israestine-Judah; otherwise those who are neutral will not be punished. We will not attack U.N.B. territory, nor attack their forces so long as they remain non-combatants. We will not attack Isreastine-Judah proper, as a testament to our integrity and mission...You have seventy-two hours."

The video broadcast ends abruptly.
