Yastead Imperator Denounces Federation’s Diplomatic Overtures, Asserts Strength of the Yaz Nation
Federal Hall, Bitanga - The a press conference held in Bitanga by the Federation’s Chancellor and Chancellor-Regent, addressing the ongoing conflict in the region and allegations of external involvement, received a swift and resolute response from the Imperator of Yastead. In an official statement released today, the Imperator denounced the Federation’s diplomatic efforts as a sign of weakness and displayed an unwavering commitment to his nation’s sovereignty.
The Federation’s willingness to “compromise” with those who may threaten them is not a display of diplomacy; it is an admission of their inability to handle the realities of the world.
The Yaz people have shown time and again that we are a powerful and resilient nation. Our strength lies in our unity, our determination, and our unwavering loyalty to our homeland. The Federation’s attempts to paint us as aggressors are nothing but a feeble attempt to distract from their own internal failures.
~Imperator
The Yaz Imperator wasted no time in condemning the Federation’s willingness to engage in talks, stating that it merely reflects their inability to handle the realities of the world. He further asserted that the Federation’s claims of diplomacy and caution are nothing but a display of their lack of resolve in addressing the conflict in the region.
Kliegme has supported Termina’s action, stating that foreign nations have no buisness in forcing a private company to do anything.
While there was no official mention of it, anti-Izaakian sentiments begin growing in Kliegme as Izaakia is willing to smuggle weapons to terrorists through Kliegme, while bossing around Termina on PMCs at the same time
BREAKING: Former DNI, Yastead Linked to Ukishkerus Theft; Weapons Smuggling
TAKARA - Explosive revelations have come to light in the ongoing investigation surrounding the Conflict Region, with serious implications for the Federation’s national security. Seven captured Corlaani rebels, originally believed to be insurgents, have been unmasked as covert operatives from Yastead, a nation known for its enigmatic ways.
Detectives Alex Tanner and Sarah Martinez of the Federation Police Capitol Divison have been relentless in their pursuit of the truth, uncovering a clandestine network of extremists operating within Yastead. The investigation has led to the shocking revelation that former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Iker Barran may have played a pivotal role in facilitating the transportation of Yaz weapons into the Conflict Region, along with orchestrating the devastating Ukishkerus attack.
Fishermen from the Clashonian cities of Öostfyrt, Ludtwiksbode, and Bannäarbrûcke have reported increased output since the beginning of July, and estimated that entering August, output will continue to increase
In other news, filming for the first episode of the Sugovian fantasy television series “Shwert der Ehre” (Sword of Honor) had begun in the start of August, in eastern Algaria. The webseries is part of the larger “Vergessene” franchise and will be streamed in Hassel+.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs have confirmed that Romordian Military installations on Romordian soil have been hit by missiles launched from Nicholas and Great Britain. With this being an effective declaration of war to Romordia, Kliegme has locked down the border with Romordia in certain regions. FM Vyacheslav stated that “We support a peace in Crabry. We call for both sides to cease hostilities and return to the diplomatic table.”
Information for CE members
Kliegme will respect the Non-Aggression pact with Nicholas and Great Britain. It will not allow other nations to send troops to fight NaGB through Kliegme, and Izaakian precedent will complicate sending even humanitarian aid. It will however, work with CE for a swift end to this conflict in an action that does not contradict the terms of the pact. While Kliegme and Sallodesia will make joint efforts to rescue as much civilians as possible, Kliegme will close down the border with Romordia when Britolasian troops are close or enough refugees have been rescued. While Sanctions on Nicholas is not off the table, Kliegme doubts the effectiveness of sanctions on an economy of autarky.
(OOC: I’m fine with Izaakia(IC) knowing of the information due to their spacelink spy system or smth but I’d appreciate it if they don’t call out Kliegme for abandoning Romordia) + (Kliegme will announce that it will respect the Non-Aggression pact soon, but will leave out the rest)

BREAKING: Unrest and skirmishes have been reported in Yastead City and its surrounding areas, according to unconfirmed reports reaching the Federation Times. The situation has raised concerns among residents and international observers, with communication channels from the region remaining dark.
As of now, the exact nature and extent of the skirmishes in Yastead City are yet to be verified.

The Federation Times urges readers to remain cautious and patient as we continue to gather verified information from reliable sources. Our team of reporters is dedicated to providing accurate updates on this developing situation.
Efladian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister said in a joint statement today: “We reiterate our firm condemnation of the actions by Nicholas and Great Britain. There is no justification for the flagrant attack on a sovereign nation. We have yet again increased the SECRIL of both Romordia and Nicholas and Great Britain. We call all Efladian citizens to leave both countries immediately. We have been urging our fellow nations in the WF to vote on the Reform of IACO, however they didn’t. This attack could have been prevented. Now it has to be dealt with. If no-one else has the courage to do it, Eflad will introduce a bill in the WF for a peacekeeping mission in N&GB. We are neutral, but our highest responsibility is human life.
We are impelling N&GB to settle this matter peacefully, so that no blood be spilled. Not British, not Romordian!”

Pressure must be applied to force them to the negotiating table”.

BREAKING NEWS: Yaz General Overthrows Provisional Government; Beheads Federation Ambassador
In an unprecedented series of events, General Ethan Voss, the leader of the military coup in Yastead City, delivered a fiery and chilling speech just moments ago that was broadcast live across Yastead and much of the Federation.

Certain models show the system landing on the Finixi isles as a level 2 cyclone, with estimated wind speeds up to 105mph. Most show the system either failing to organize or barely making landfall as a level 1 cyclone.
The prytanis of the UPRAN, Romanos Kanidis, stated in the last press roll: “We would condemn Nicholas and Great Britain for its repeated aggression against romordians, but we never removed the sanctions from 2021, so we can’t condemn them anymore except encouraging other nations to remove exports of any kind to NaGB, and bringing it to the eyes of the World Forum.”
