These accusations come from the right-wing press which is ironic considering how xenophobic and islamophobic they usually are.
Its weird that Israel is the only country where criticism of the government is seen as equivalent of criticism of its "diaspora". No one will call you sinophobic for criticising the chinese government.

IIRC there's a connection with between the BLP taking the side of Muslims in the public debate and antisemitism. You don't need to figure out that next to neonazis, radical Islamists are the other antisémites in most countries. And I'm not saying that advocating for the rights (or whatever) of Muslims is wrong, but there seems to be a categorical shift of blame among some on the left (ie blaming terror attacks on attituteds of locals leading to the provocation of violence, rather than on the individuals within the Muslim community who may just have some fundamentally bad ideas and decide to act out on them). I think the current political strategy will in the long term be bad for the images of both the left and the Muslim community, and I believe the last British elections are a solid proof of that.

Do. Not. Visit. AM. Right. Now. Just don't.

There are three active revolts against the central government at the same time: in Chatha, Khumbuwan and Koch. The Chathaese separatists are supported by San Montagna (already said by news) and Miklania (OOC support confirmed). The Ipachi separatists in Koch are fighting against other Ipachi tribes in the Koch plains loyal to the central government. Razzgriz, who has an enclave called Yitoria in southeastern mainland Magarat, will soon perform a not!Crimea operation on Ipachi-majority Jaring and Koch hangates (yeah...the Ipachi separatists are being funded by him). The Khumbuwani rebels were (allegedly) backed by and then sheltered by the Central Canal (which resulted in Alteran Republics armed forces occupying the northern portion of the CC and Noronican and Magarati forces being present on the southern part...oh yeah, Segentovan and Keomorans also participated in this mess). And there are monarchists trying to bring a family living in Nhoor so as to restore the Mahangs. And let's not forget the ongoing clan war in Second Tamuwan Hangate that further increased the violence in Chatha and Koch. There are protests against the Magarati government everywhere in the mainland and just yesterday, the army threatened to launch a coup if the central government did not withdraw from the Central Canal (so the home situation can be dealt with first...yeah...the central government is very incompetent; which is how this mess started in the first place).

TL; DR just go to the Three Islands of Tapu Sahar (Myagdi Island for your foreigners), Tiwe Sivn and New Forest (most of the industries are here anyway and Tapu Sahar alone has 12 million folks...so who cares about the mainland...). You can then sit and relax and enjoy your tea while mainland Magarat burns.

Note: That said, one of the reasons why I am creating those Cities Skylines maps of Magarati cities is that I want the all these multiple conflicts to be focused around a few key cities (like say Shakti Khor in Chatha or New Kamatpur in Koch). IRL, the battles of Raqqa and Aleppo (talking of recent wars) lasted for (four plus I think) years. I am going that route.

Also, because of this sh!t, AM gov ages of handed over Kachee to Wellsia. Kachee is a Wellsian protectorate in case anyone is wondering.

Kachee, officially the Sultanate of Kachee, is an island country in the Southern Sea region, located north of mainland Charbagnia.

TBD everything like Crete except for flora and fauna to be like Buru island

The recorded history of the island dates back to 11th Century when dissidents in the Khas-Kirat Empire were marooned here. The exiles came in contact with Muslim traders (from TBD) and established a sultanate under Mohammed Yonghang. The sultanate's relationship with the Khas-Kirat Empire always in fluctuation. At times, it was considered a hangate of the imperial federation while constantly under invasion (especially holy wars) by other hangates that sought to control the Southern Sea trade. The various defensive wars it fought against other hangates and various foreign powers (especially holy wars) made the sultanate isolationist.

In 1772, Richard McGwynith of the Noronican East Sea Company took an exploratory voyage to Southern Sea. Upon the discovery of Kachee and knowing that the sultanate had parted ways with the Khas-Kirat Empire, he claimed it for the Noronnican Empire and paved the way for a colony to be set up. The island's small population was unable to repel the waves of Noronnicans that settled on the island.

The RPs are being done through news and TWItter and the League. Otherwise, the closest thing to RP is this for the conflict in Shakti Khor, Eastern Chatha.

It's too hot and there are too many mosquiti in the bedroom to be able to sleep (it's 4 AM here, but the buzzing has kept me wide awake; we tried candles, scents, window screens, fans, poison, UV lights, as well as killing them manually, but sadly without much effect so I may not sleep before October, which is good because I get to spend time on NS although at one point I am afraid that I will start to see purple three-headed capybaras) so I may be able to put up the dispatch for the Raedlon Organization of States (ROS) tomorrow.

Yeah you should do the big, regionally-important factbooks before the sleep deprivation makes you start hallucinating imo

Make that 30 since the 160 mentioned in the previous weekly report. Let's see how many are still there, or if there will be even more, when I make the new report this evening :)

So, I'm kinda thinking about bringing Segentova into an international alliance or something.
Obviously, with the current involvement in the CCA I'm kinda persona non grata in the MSTO and the C6 seems kinda... scary for historical reasons (cough The Imperial War cough).
Any takers?

I mean if you join we are basically the northern Argus alliance with one in southern Argus, one in the Aegean and two in the west like a couple of newbs.

Still... aren't you guys basically the same ones that attacked Segentova in the Imperial War?
Segetova wants protection from (most of) it's neighbors, lol.

You're not in Raedlon by any chance (although the ROS treaty (still WIP) foresees exceptions to the geographical requirement and Segentova seems to be close enough)?

Membership:

Official language: English

National languages: Dutch, English, German,

The Raedlon Organization of States (Dutch: Raedlonse Statenorganisatie; German: Rädlonische Staatenorganisation; Nhoor: Rāylwch pw Rasytīmhana jan Rhwsaj; Solaryi: Raedlon Organizja er Narodsz; Takivaj: Organizsaja Tojvakaj Rejdlonaj), also known by its acronym ROS, is a political, economic, and military intergovernmental alliance of nations that aim to promote peace, security, and stability in the Raedlon area of The Western Isles, and facilitate trade and tourism between their member states.


History
Although the idea to form an alliance of Raedlon nations was suggested in previous years, it was in early 2020 that the first steps were set to elaborate it, with The Dominion of Nhoor and The Winter Empire of Solaryia taking the initiative to found the organisation. The founding treaty, the Treaty of Sārruc, was signed on 31 July 2020. Since then, talks initiated with The United Queendoms of Belantica, which joined ROS as a candidate member in October 2022 and became a full member in April 2023. By December 2023, The United Peoples of Skilles and The Kingdom of Takiv had initiated internal procedures to prepare for a formal membership request; Takiv issued a formal membership request on 27 December 2023. The government of The People's Republic of Costavozka, a nation not located on Raedlon but in northern Argus, announced in October 2023 that it would seek membership of ROS. Takiv and Costavozka were formally admitted as candidate members on 19 January 2024; on the same day, the Treaty of Sārruc was amended to expand the geographical definition of nations who can apply as full members.


Membership
ROS membership exists in three forms:

  • Full membership: independent nations located on the subcontinent known as Raedlon or facing Raedlon from across the Karnali Sea and the Mesder and North Mesder Seas in the region of The Western Isles, as per Article 4 of the Treaty of Sārruc. Under certain conditions, nations located in other parts of The Western Isles can be admitted as full members of ROS as well.

  • Associate membership: any territory on Raedlon that constitutes an autonomous dependency of a nation located in other parts of The Western Isles, as per Article 16 of the Treaty of Sārruc.

  • Observer status: any nation or territory that isn't eligible for membership or associate membership as stipulated in the Articles 4 and 16 of the Treaty of Sārruc, and any nation or territory that doesn't seek to acquire membership or associated membership by its own volition, as per Article 27 of the Treaty of Sārruc.

Any request to become a Member or Associate Member of ROS should so be addressed to the Secretary General by means of a note, in which the applicant nation or territory declares that it is willing to sign the Treaty and to accept all the obligations inherent in Membership or Associate Membership as per Articles 6 resp. 18. Any request to become an Observer of ROS should be addressed to the Secretary General by means of a note, in which the applicant nation or territory declares that it is willing to accept all the obligations inherent in the Observer Status, as per Article 28. The Secretary General informs the Council of Representatives (see below), which will decide on the matter at its earliest convenience.

ROS's current member states are:

  • Belantica, since 11 October 2022 (candidate member until 11 April 2023)

  • Costavozka, since 19 January 2024 (candidate member)

  • Nhoor, since 31 July 2020 (founding member)

  • Solaryia, since 31 July 2020 (founding member)

  • Takiv, since 19 January 2024 (candidate member)

Potential applicant nations are:

  • Skilles, has initiated internal procedures to prepare for a formal membership request, by December 2023


Structure
ROS is divided in three parts:

  • ROS proper; the political pillar, with headquarters in Nhoor

  • RTC, the Raedlon Trade Council; the economic pillar, with headquarters in Belantica

  • RMA, the Secretariate of Raedlon Military Affairs; the military pillar, with headquarters in Solaryia

ROS proper
ROS proper, which has its headquarters in the Nhoor city of Qhōmh, has the following organs:

  • The Council of Representatives, which is formed by representatives of the member states’ governments. The CoR convenes at least once a year on the head of government level; other ministerial meetings on common policies (foreign affairs, economic affairs, fisheries, health, etc.) occur regularly throughout the year. Summits of the CoR have taken place in:
    - 1) Cinharda, Nhoor, 2021
    - 2) ..., Solaryia, 11 October 2022 - admission of Belantica
    - 3) Ballo, Nhoor, 6 & 7 October 2023
    - x) ..., (nation), 19 January 2024 - treaty admendment; admission of Costavozka and Takiv
    - 4) t.b.a., Belantica, 2024

  • The Assembly, the ‘parliament’ of ROS, which consists of a flexible number of members, originating from all member states, with the number of seats per member state being the square root of its population size, divided by 500, rounded up or down to the nearest integer, plus 1. This number is reviewed before each session; each Assembly session lasts four years. Currently the member states have the following number of seats, based on the nations' estimated number of inhabitants on 1 January 2024: Belantica 11, Costavozka 12, Nhoor 11, Solaryia 10, Takiv 9.

  • The Executive Council, which consists of the Secretary of the Executive Council (also known as the Secretary General), and the Members of the Executive Council. There is one Member per member state but if there are less then seven Members excluding the Secretary, all member states may add a Member until this threshold is passed; currently the three member states are represented by three Members each. The Secretary General, who is nominated for one two-year term (starting on 1 January) by one of the member states in alphabetical order of their short names in English, has no voting right unless the Members' vote is a tie.

Secretaries-General of ROS have been:

The Raedlon Trade Council

The Raedlon Organization of States (Dutch: Raedlonse Statenorganisatie; German: Rädlonische Staatenorganisation; Nhoor: Rāylwch pw Rasytīmhana jan Rhwsaj; Solaryi: Raedlon Organizja er Narodsz; Takivaj: Organizsaja Tojvakaj Rejdlonaj), also known by its acronym ROS, is a political, economic, and military intergovernmental alliance of nations that aim to promote peace, security, and stability in the Raedlon area of The Western Isles, and facilitate trade and tourism between their member states.


History
Although the idea to form an alliance of Raedlon nations was suggested in previous years, it was in early 2020 that the first steps were set to elaborate it, with The Dominion of Nhoor and The Winter Empire of Solaryia taking the initiative to found the organisation. The founding treaty, the Treaty of Sārruc, was signed on 31 July 2020. Since then, talks initiated with The United Queendoms of Belantica, which joined ROS as a candidate member in October 2022 and became a full member in April 2023. By December 2023, The United Peoples of Skilles and The Kingdom of Takiv had initiated internal procedures to prepare for a formal membership request; Takiv issued a formal membership request on 27 December 2023. The government of The People's Republic of Costavozka, a nation not located on Raedlon but in northern Argus, announced in October 2023 that it would seek membership of ROS. Takiv and Costavozka were formally admitted as candidate members on 19 January 2024; on the same day, the Treaty of Sārruc was amended to expand the geographical definition of nations who can apply as full members.


Membership
ROS membership exists in three forms:

  • Full membership: independent nations located on the subcontinent known as Raedlon or facing Raedlon from across the Karnali Sea and the Mesder and North Mesder Seas in the region of The Western Isles, as per Article 4 of the Treaty of Sārruc. Under certain conditions, nations located in other parts of The Western Isles can be admitted as full members of ROS as well.

  • Associate membership: any territory on Raedlon that constitutes an autonomous dependency of a nation located in other parts of The Western Isles, as per Article 16 of the Treaty of Sārruc.

  • Observer status: any nation or territory that isn't eligible for membership or associate membership as stipulated in the Articles 4 and 16 of the Treaty of Sārruc, and any nation or territory that doesn't seek to acquire membership or associated membership by its own volition, as per Article 27 of the Treaty of Sārruc.

Any request to become a Member or Associate Member of ROS should so be addressed to the Secretary General by means of a note, in which the applicant nation or territory declares that it is willing to sign the Treaty and to accept all the obligations inherent in Membership or Associate Membership as per Articles 6 resp. 18. Any request to become an Observer of ROS should be addressed to the Secretary General by means of a note, in which the applicant nation or territory declares that it is willing to accept all the obligations inherent in the Observer Status, as per Article 28. The Secretary General informs the Council of Representatives (see below), which will decide on the matter at its earliest convenience.

ROS's current member states are:

  • Belantica, since 11 October 2022 (candidate member until 11 April 2023)

  • Costavozka, since 19 January 2024 (candidate member)

  • The Assembly, the ‘parliament’ of ROS, which consists of a flexible number of members, originating from all member states, with the number of seats per member state being the square root of its population size, divided by 500, rounded up or down to the nearest integer, plus 1. This number is reviewed before each session; each Assembly session lasts four years. Currently the member states have the following number of seats, based on the nations' estimated number of inhabitants on 1 January 2024: Belantica 11, Costavozka 12, Nhoor 11, Solaryia 10, Takiv 9.

Unfortunately not... and didn't your guy in the league suggest MSTO intervention because of the canal?
This seems a bit more tight-knit than i'd like, too... I'm looking for something specifically more... military-focused.

Fair enough. The military part of ROS will be elaborated though.

The Nhoor representative suggested a demilitarized zone around the canal borders, btw. Nhoor is not an MSTO member.

Here is the weekly update, with - as our esteemed Secretary of Recruitment Remodio anounced earlier today - an increase of 30 nations since last week, although a couple of them may indeed be another kind of odd than what we are used to here in The Western Isles. Let their presence here inspire them to do great things!

Every month, the office selects a dispatch posted within the month that it has deemed exceptionally unique, creative and informative and deserves the recognition it needs. The dispatch is then featured here, as part of our Dispatch of the Month program. As long as the original author of the dispatch is in this region and exists on our Regional Map, the dispatch meets our requirements for the program.

Is there a dispatch you know that you feel is worthy of the award? If so, please do not hesitate to inform our Officer of Recognition - the official organizer of the program - of it. The office very much appreciates such nominations, as we are unable to keep track of every dispatch within the region.

About the Dispatch of the Month

The Dispatch of the Month is a program launched and run by the Office of Information. As stated before, the program involves the office featuring a dispatch it likes and feels the need to commend. The program was done in order to stimulate regional activity, encourage creativity, improve writing skills, and boost the overall nationbuilding quality.

The following requirements need to be met in order for a dispatch to be eligible for nomination:

  • Author must be in the region and regional map

  • Dispatch will have to be posted within the month

We determine the Dispatch of the Month results through a number of criteria. Each are worth 10 points, and the highest total score you can achieve is 40. The criteria are:

  • Uniqueness: What makes it different from other dispatches and nominees.

  • Creativity: How original and creative the dispatch itself is.

  • Visual Appealingness: How appealing the dispatch is.

  • Information: How informative the dispatch is.

    You can also nominate any dispatch (yes, even yours) so long that it meets our guidelines. This greatly helps us reach a larger number of dispatches and possible nominees. However, only the dispatch with the highest total points based off our criteria will claim the title of Dispatch of the Month.
