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.,

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 TCG hit back against Izaakian claims firmly denies harboring terrorist organizations such as the RIM and accused the USI of, “failing to produce overwhelming evidence proving Terra Firma Agronomics is a terror organization.” The TCG also went further saying that the USI failed to go through peaceful means such as seeking the extradition of Le Rogue irreparably harming trust between both states.

Montwælda Rombold comes out strongly against the TCG, saying “For too long the guild has held the worlds security hostage, for too long the TCG has been holding its city states hostage, and for too long we have let it act with impunity. Now is the time where the TCG and its less distinguished members begin to reap the consequences of what they sow. The TCG is not a country, it’s is a business, a cartel with an iron grip over its constituents, and we will treat it as such.
From today the TCG and Point Rain have been added to the Sponsors of Terrorism list, and their assets in the USI will be seized. Any Izaakian-Termina commerce must deal directly with the other city states. Business with the TCG and Point Rain, including Point Rain armouries will be prohibited. Any party that purchases weapons from the Point Rain armouries, will also face an arms embargo from the USI.
We can not and will not allow The TCG and Point Rain to continue its reign of terror, they must learn the consequences of their actions. It makes them less safe, poorer and more isolated.”
