The Nordfhrient State Court has rendered a recent edict of the village of Obermaluhe unconstitutional and thereby null and void with immediate effect. The municipality, in a satirical response to the Kliegmean “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” act, passed an edict outlawing all instances of heterosexuality.
The Chief Justice of the Court has stated “Just because you do not approve of what they have done does not mean you can do the same.” A netizen on the Telit forum t/besern has accused him of poor taste of humour.
BREAKING NEWS: The mayor of Obermaluhe, Ms. Jenn Inseler, has decided to appeal the decision of the Nordfhrient State Court to the Federal Constitutional Court.
Montwælda Rombold announces that the former Prime minister Ernest Le Rogue has been killed in a counter terror operation performed by the Navy Sharks near Point Rain in the TCC. The nighttime raid was planned to be a forced extraction, however, an exchange of fire with his security detail led to his death and that of 4 Terra Firma mercenaries. When making their way to the extraction point the Navy Sharks engaged with local mercenary forces at a road block, and 6 local mercenaries were killed. The Navy Sharks were recovered by helicopter and returned to the Air Craft Carrier White Tip where 4 of them are receiving medical care.
President Innienn has commented on the newly adopted policy of the main opposition party Buna’is to work towards relocating the CE headquarters.
“The headquarters being in a region that has been and may be at risk of being under attack of weapons of mass destruction is a valid concern. The main reasons for it being placed there in the first place include practicality of using existing infrastructure, but more importantly reconciliation and trust. Relocating the HQ would at this time send signals that the CE does not believe in the peace process in the region at a time when the various parties must have trust in its sincerity.”
He further added that the Sedunnic government will not advocate for a relocation under the current circumstances, but that the situation is being monitored carefully.
Ms. Jenn Inseler, mayor of the village of Obermaluhe has made a Stream post today calling on netizens around the world, especially foreign governments, to help support her upcoming case in the Federal Constitutional Court, to the amusement and jest of many Besernian netizens.
The Rhaynan government has rejected the suggestion of Jenn Inseler, justifying that “it isn’t needed in our nation”, but many important rhaynan LGBT supporters, some close friends of the prytanis Romanos Kanidis, have hoped for Jenn’s success in “bringing common sense to the world through direct irony.”
Public opinion of the LGBT movement and its supporters have dropped significantly in Kliegme over the past few days over foreign meddling in domestic affairs, and a Besernian Government official taunting the Kliegmean government.
Kliegme has summoned the Besernian ambassador over the Besernian mayor, who the Kliegmean government believes to be in a position high enough to cause diplomatic issues, being so careless.
Shirovskvagonzavod has revealed in a press conference that it is still waiting for test results from its Besernian counterpart. Shirovskvagonzavod states that it cannot adequately suit the needs of the Besernian army without necessary feedback.
Bersches-Teknologie has successfully finished testing the Object 483B Self Propelled Gun with the Besernian Army in the Budiheim region after a full holistic testing period, including series of exercises in various environments, including the Budican Chain and Zenevian Tropics, starting from 10 August. The vehicle has been approved for use by the Minister of Defence. Bersches-Teknologie have reiterated that they will fufill their part of the deal with Shirovskvagonzavod, and communicated with them accordingly.
The Minister of Defence, in a press conference, have declined to comment whether the “Skylark”, who was found on the 11th of August from a combat exercise, was part of the testing of the new equipment.
Eventual purchase of the model by the Besernian Armed Forces following production will commence where possible and approved by both parties. Bersches-Teknologie have been noted to have already approved this edict.
The Pelinese Minister of Foreign Affairs is conducting a visit in Kliegme as a show of support for its government in the recent diplomatic controversy. Prime Minister Aleksei Makarovic stated during a press conference regarding the issue that the visit ”reflects Pelinai’s support for the independence of Kliegmean domestic policies from foreign interference, as well as its recognition of the need for solidarity against continuing attacks on the fundamental right of cultures to self-determination.”
Vice-President Hamilton was taking questions in parliament today when he was asked by the opposition if former PM Ernest LeRogue will receive a state funeral as per his right as a former PM. VP Hamilton responded “To the extent the state paid for the body bag he was buried at sea in this morning, yes. If you mean the typical ceremony, then no.” This did not go down well with the opposition, who are yet to replace a successor to Mr LeRogue, and parliament had to be suspended.,
The Termina Commerce Guild has issued a firm condemnation against the United States of Izaakia calling the Assassination of Le Rogue a betrayal of historic proportions and a violation of Terminan sovereignty. The Governor General of Point Rain also condemned the murder of 6 of his local “guns” (point rain slang for hired gun or mercenary) who were dispatched to the scene of the crime.
Izaakian foreign minister accuses the TCC, and specifically Point Rain of harbouring and supporting terrorists, not only the Izaakian classified ones such as Terra Firma, but also terror organisations such as RIM. She went on to say, “so long as Point Rain doesn’t support the security arrangements of Izaakia, or our international partners, it will face the consequences of those actions.”
A Nordfhrient city resident has been arrested for hate speech and public nuisance after protesting in a market square, chanting “All heterosexuals should be ashamed of themselves!” and that “Should we fail, the much more liberal Gianatla, or even perhaps Eflad, should take over the state of Nordfhrient and declare war on the Brient regime, and systematically persecute every single heterosexual!”
The LGBT movement in Besern have expressed that they have nothing to do with him, stating “the equality propelled by the movements extends to all people who choose to have a harmony of their own, even those who want a binary harmony”.
The executions of those convicted of treason and other serious charges due to their participation in the past year’s military regime are to be carried out next week. Hundreds of senior military officers and civilian collaborators are to meet their deaths by firing squad and drug-induced executions, respectively. The government has refused to grant the usual privilege for the sentenced military officers to give the order to fire in their own executions, a move seen by many as a way to humiliate them by depriving them of this routine honor. Contrary to some rumors, the government has denied it will carry out the executions en masse, insisting that “every criminal will receive their individual punishments for their own actions. We have no intention to impose a collective punishment which is contrary to the spirit of Ryccian justice. The executions will be carried out individually”.
Izaakians celebrate the “Salting of the Earth Festival” on the 3145th anniversary of the salting the earth of Spirio, an ancient city state that included the wrath of a nation by executing a Montacian king Anthony in the burning bull. He was avenged by his sister, Empress Atlantia The Patient Fury, who was consumed by vengeance. She spent 5 years building an army and navy the likes of which the world had never seen, and laid siege to Spirio. After two years, their king was killed by the high priests of Spirio, who flung open the gates and asked for mercy. Mercy was not given and the entire region was massacred, burned and salted.
Empress Atlantia gathered the ashes of the city, and laid them to rest in the family vaults in place of her brothers body. There she laid for 11 days, without food or water before finally succumbing to death.
The modern ceremony involves fireworks and feasts on the first day, followed by 10 days of fasting and celebrations during the day, on the 11th day there are usually street parties, followed by one of the heaviest drinking nights of the year.
The military base has been identified as belonging to a private military group, which is explicitly banned in Forscova. The military has given the occupying force one two days to remove themselves from the island.
