**Rioting in the SACs**
After presidential candidate Severus Billings promised to strengthen direct federal control over the Special Administrative Cities of Pantalan Humot and Lubeck Tulo and remove their SAC status deeming both to have integrated enough with the Singhapala Bisaya mainland economically and politically, violent riots broke out, killing eight in both cities and injuring at least 65 more. Nearly 1,600 have been arrested on various charges. The Treaty of Sainogati states that Pantalan Humot and Lubeck Tulo must fully join the states of Usalitec and Ontenarag before 27 July 2058 after being deemed fully integrated with the mainland.
Incumbent president Temuldav has ordered 9,000 federal troops and 2,500 border patrol agents to the SACs in an effort to quell the growing violence and has extended the period of martial law by another four weeks to 28 August and has ordered the suspension of legislative bodies of the SACs extended to 1 September.

Tonight Mikhail Zabusov would be returning to Hansa. As the last plate was brought away from the dinner table, he turned to his host.
"Ricardina. It's been an honour. I'm so glad to have seen you again after all this time. I only wish it would be under better circumstances."
"Yes, this is regrettable. Such a shame that you must sign an important business deal tomorrow, and that I have a nation to run. Perhaps we will be able to arrange another meeting some other time."
"I would love to do that. We could even go on holiday together to my ancestral homeland of Baikala. I hear the tyrannical regime has been ousted. Thank God that idiot Leonid Volkin is no longer in charge."
Ricardina silently nodded her head, and then the two embraced.

As Mikhail was walking out of the palace and waved away, the Empress could feel something uncomfortable in the back of her dress. Reaching a hand back, she picked it up. It was a note, which only read:
"21 Kessler Street at midnight."

The URA recommends voting AGAINST current GA proposal “Factory Farming Ban”:


URA World Assembly Recommendation

Factory Farming Ban
The General Assembly,

Noting that the factory farming of animals is a method often used in agricultural settings to increase efficiency and lower the cost of production,

Resolved that factory farming:

  • is almost universally considered cruel and inhumane, as it holds no regard for the welfare of animals, and also profits off of their abuse,

  • has significant, demonstrably negative environmental effects on wildlife and flora,

  • has been shown to increase the risk of infection and other health dangers to consumers,

  • fosters anti-competitive practices and the cartelization of the farming industry, and

  • often results in particularly egregious exploitation of laborers and the destruction of small-scale farming livelihoods,

Believing that any monetary cost savings that may be associated with factory farming do not outweigh the costs incurred by wildlife and flora, consumer health, the economy, and the inherent rights of farm animals as sentient beings,

Hereby:

  1. Defines for the purposes of this resolution:

    1. "farm animal" as a sentient animal raised in an agricultural environment to produce commodities where said commodity is produced directly by or from said animals, and

    2. "factory farming" as an industrialized system of producing commodities from farm animals characterized by one or more of the following aspects:

      1. keeping farm animals in unhygienic or crowded spaces where they are unable to exercise their full range of motion, including but not limited to all use of battery cages, except when strictly necessary for the health and/or welfare of said farm animals, or

      2. the routine use of antibiotics or growth hormones on farm animals in attempts to alter their physical characteristics and/or mitigate the consequences of keeping farm animals in unhygienic conditions; where such use is not intended to cure an illness,

  2. Bans all forms of factory farming, and

  3. Gives member-states a period of no more than two years to become fully compliant with this resolution.

Co-authored by Greater Cesnica.

This General Assembly resolution was written by The Python and Greater Cesnica to prohibit factory farming. You can find the drafting thread on the forums here.

The United Regions Alliance recommends that you vote AGAINST the resolution

This resolution bans factory farming, which is defined as "an industrialized system of producing commodities from farm animals" characterized by restrictions on the range of motion by animals and the use of antibiotics and growth hormones on animals. Member states are given two years following the passage of the resolution to comply with the ban. While many aspects of factory farming are objectionable, advancements into food production have also been quite important in fulfilling demand for food products (in this case, meat). There are therefore potential economic consequences for low-earning families who cannot afford more ethically-sourced meat. In addition, it is unclear whether two years is enough to completely revolutionize the farming industry, especially considering that many nations are very large and have complex food chains. For these reasons, the URA does not support this resolution.


The following comments were given on the LinkURA Discord server:

Sonindia voting member Quinceria wrote,

Quinceria wrote:Once I get off of work I could write an essay about how disastrous this proposal is. In fact I have written an economics essay about the modern farming system.

Not to mention, factory farming had crushed the starvation of humanity theory which was prominent during the late 1900s were it was believed that only 10% of people would be able to get food with the farming capability at the time, factory farming has given many people food, has slowed inflation rates on food and has given employees of the farming sector.

Conch Kingdom resident Kursibar wrote,

Kursibar wrote:I may be a tree hugger at heart, but I'm not a fan of this proposal. Factory farming is environmentally destructive, yes. It's horribly depressing for the workers (I know this from experience) and cruel on the animals, yes. However, switching out of factory farming in the span of two years is a great way to have an economy tank and citizens go hungry. Pretty sure there's a resolution against the latter.

Post by Tarklon suppressed by The Tribia.

Hello again everyone! I hope you all are well. I would just like to remind everyone that elections start soon! I would also like to reiterate I will be running for COO again. The dispatch below explains why I believe myself to be the best choice. So if you could take a couple of minutes, read it and it will explain how I am the best choice for COO.

Stay safe everyone!
Tribia
COO

Hello everyone! My nation is known as The Tribia here in Lands End. In the discord, I'm most known for my RP and activity. I would like to announce this upcoming election, that I will be running for COO in Land's End! I will make this short and sweet so you don't have to sit here for 10 minutes reading it.

Why I'm Running for Re-Election as COO

The reason I'm running for COO again vs any other board position in LE is because COO is this position fits my interests and willingness to help LE. This position involves getting people as shareholders into LE so they can join our map and RP with us. What makes me better then my opponents is I'm almost always active and when someone new wants to become a shareholder, I can almost get back to them right away. I can also make good decisions when the time comes to appoint senior management. I believe my terms as COO went very well and I believe other's will agree. I got back to TG's about becoming a shareholder within a 8 hour mark along with always staying active consistently.

Why I'm Qualified

I believe I'm qualified because in years past, I have had experience dealing with other people and helping them out. I not only know how to do this job but will enjoy doing this job. I also want to emphasize activity. I'm almost always active and I think that brings a lot to LE having a consistently active member. I also want to help out LE from a larger perspective. This position will help with this. I'm not running for power but to help out LE as a whole. Getting more shareholders in to LE means more people to interact with and more people to RP with. The larger the region is with active members, the more fun everyone will have. I also have 10 consecutive terms under my belt which I believe has taught me so much as COO and has only made me better, not to mention I am the longest serving COO in LE history.

What I will Continue to do as COO

As COO, I will prioritize getting more shareholders in LE as they arrive into LE and pre-existing members that either haven't applied or don't know they have to. The benefit of being a shareholder is you get to participate in our RP and get to vote in our elections.

If you read this dispatch from start to end, thank you. I hope that you will consider me for COO and I hope for your vote but it's entirely up to you who you vote for COO. Election day is starts on May 1st and runs until 1 week later. Even if you don't vote for me, vote for someone who you want to see in COO or any position throughout the board. Have a good day everyone!

Signed,
Tribia
Current COO

And I would formally like to endorse Hooseria Magna for CLO and Biggonian Megaist Empire for CCO.

I'll definitely vote for you. Also, a few days ago I sent you a telegram but never got a response

I will also ask for you to vote for me for CLO, I assume a lot of newer members have seen my face before. Just remember, in order to vote you need to be a shareholder.

TESDAI, New Tussia, Biggonian Megaist Empire, and Workers federation of freiesland

I possibly would like to just because you are the cartographer but I dont know how and still didnt got the "how to vote" telegram you all told me I would get iff I remember right.

Hello everyone,

I, Artevenia, am running for CPO. My record is clear: I spent much time recruiting for Lands End, reaching a total of about forty-eight thousand telegrams sent. I have recruited many nations, of which thirty of them are here today. I plan to promote shareholder status, and if needed, appoint Personnel Officers. In fact, I have appointed one Personnel Officer so far during my tenure as CPO.

Thanks,
Artevenia

I am CFO. I am not running for CFO, I am merely declaring the position mine. Any opposition to this declaration is an act of fascism.

TESDAI, Peacockastan, The federation of spokane, Hooseria Magna, and 4 othersAntarctican Immagrants, Biggonian Megaist Empire, Suisei core, and Workers federation of freiesland

I’d like to remind you to vote for me for CLO. My campaign dispatch can be found here:

I am officially announcing my candidacy for the Chief Legal Officer of Lands End. I have been an officer in the Lands End since late January of 2020, just my fifth day in the region. In March that same year, I coauthored our current government reform with our current CLO New Slovakastan, writing two of the three sections. In September, I became Chief Communications Officer, replacing The federation of spokane after being ambassador under him for multiple months. Throughout the following month, I helped to design the rules, structure, & map of the roleplay in the region. throughout my tenure as CCO, our region gained multiple new embassies, joined the URA, and expanded our influence both on and off-site. One example of my work fostering foreign affairs relationships is with The Western Commonwealth. There I fostered a mentoring relationship with the fast-growing region and helped to set the region up with resources for success. Throughout my year and a half in the regional government, I have gained knowledge of the inner workings of the region that can only be achieved through long and continuous activity in the region. I am active in all aspects of the region and have been for almost my entire time here. I believe that in order to be successful as CLO, you must be active, both in and out of RP, understand the government system, and be able to express your ideas clearly. I think that, for the most part, I meet all of those qualifications and would be a good fit for CLO.

As CLO, I plan to work with the rest of the board to implement important government reforms. I also want to consolidate the bylaw system to make the laws of the region more accessible. Lastly, I hope to effectively solve RP disputes and provide a clear and consistent interpretation of the RP rules.

I hope you will consider voting for me as the next CLO of the Lands End Company!

*I have been endorsed for CLO by Biggonian Megaist Empire, the current ambassador of Lands End, The Tribia, the current Chief Operations Officer, and The federation of spokane, former CCO and my mentor.

I would also like to, once again, express my gratitude for the endorsements and support I have received from The Tribia, Biggonian Megaist Empire, and The federation of spokane.

Hi Y’all,

With a few short days remaining until elections season, I want to remind y’all to vote! And if you’d like, vote me for COO! I believe I could be a wise choice for the region. I have plans to help encourage even more members of LE to become shareholders, a couple bylaw ideas I’d like to try to put through, and a quick overview of all LE dispatches to make sure they’re up to date and are accurate. I also have a idea to help refine reporting errors in LE dispatches, so that way, it could make the process simpler for those correcting said errors on the dispatches.
Let’s have a good election season everyone!
I’d like to also remind y’all of some advice when voting. :P
1 - Make clear who you’re voting for in the TG! It’ll help TESDAI, who is counting out the votes this time if he doesn’t have to try and figure it out.
2 - Make sure you don’t pull a Spokane/Slovak, and do not hit ‘Send to All’ on accident when you’re submitting your ballot because if you do, then everyone will be able to see your ballot, instead of just TESDAI.
3- Be civil! There’s no need to kick up tension in LE just because your preferred candidate didn’t win.
And that’s all! I’ll see ya folks on the 1st, and when results come out!

I’d also encourage you all to vote for the people I’ve endorsed: Hooseria Magna and Biggonian Megaist Empire, who are running for CLO and CCO respectively.

Hello everybody! I would like to put out a reminder that I am running for the position of CCO! Stay safe and have a nice night!

Why would you be a good fit for Chief Communications Officer?
I believe that I would be a good fit for CCO because of my willingness to hear other sides and then come to compromises. From both my opinion and experience, being inflexible is never good. For the position I am running for, I think that being polite and understanding is key, and I possess this skillset to help me achieve these aims. Being the current incumbent, it means that I am experienced in the role, and the most up-to-date in policy.

What will you continue to add as Chief Communications Officer, and a Member of the Board?
If I am reelected as Chief Communications Officer, I shall continue what I had done during my previous incumbency. This includes ensuring a quality control of embassies is enforced, and also building stronger relationships with the regions that we already have embassies in. Furthermore, I shall work with the other board members to make sure your requests are met,

You're stupid and I hate you!
In that case then I respect your opinion. I think it is alright if you see flaws in me and do not trust me to be an effective Chief Communications Officer. However, should you choose not to vote for me, I would recommend you instead vote for The federation of spokane. He has previously held this role and it would certainly be good to have some older opinions back on the Land's End Board!

Remember to vote for Hooseria Magna for CLO- I think he's the best choice! He is also the previous CCO, and says I would be a good candidate, so you should trust his word.

Empress Ricardina of Biggonia rushed out of the train station. She had gone in, disguised and with no guards, intending to arouse as little suspicion as possible. She had taken the underground, all the way to the suburbs, where Kessler street was. It was dark and the rain was pattering all around her feet as she slowly started to wonder across the tarmac roads. Ricardina followed the road signs towards the location.

When she at last arrived to the street, the rain was starting to pour on incredibly heavily, so much so that she could barely hear herself think. Continuing to move along the dilapidated road, she realised that No.21 was in an alleyway. Mikhail had always been very cunning. This was a discreet location far away from the prying eyes of anybody who would want to stop them. Upon reaching the entrance of the alley, she could hardly see, but unmistakably, there was a dark shadow, leaning against the wall.
"Mikhail?" she called out?
No response.
"Mikhail... is that you?"
Still no response.

So Ricardina edged every closer. The closer she got, the more petrified she grew. While not scared of the dark, the recent attempt on her life made her realise that it was dangerous being an Empress. About halfway along the alley, a light flickered on for a few seconds. While Ricardina was dazzled by the light, she did see the unmistakable form of Mikhail Zabusov, pinned against the wall, with a knife through his throat.
