Gianlucian chancellor Sanddorn reacted amused to the generous offers of the Valkyrian government to help GIanatla on its feet in terms of developing more or better high-speed rail.
“We don’t mind cheap extra money for our budget, but I can reassure everyone we are not struggling, especially not in the economic fields we have always excelled in despite having had huge competition. Pan-Cordilian high-speed rail is also a vision of ours and we are contributing to this project steadily. Having moved significant parts of the trade with Huawan onto freight trains a few years ago as well as the current construction of a high-speed rail line to Eflad via Ares Island are proofs of that.”

Dominion State Media Says Top Gov. Offical Arrested
The Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan faces internal strife as the recent arrest of Autark Neoahl Patatulla, a prominent member of the Divine Committee, raises questions about the stability of the ruling elite. Accused of associating with “dissident elements,” propagating “ideologies contrary to Zhukva faith,” and challenging the authority of the Arkava, Patatulla’s arrest has cast a shadow over the integrity of the Divine Committee and the wider national doctrine. While Zuhlgani state media portrays the arrest as safeguarding Zhukva principles, rumors of dissent within the Divine Committee have circulated for months, hinting at internal power struggles and factional rivalries among its members. The situation prompts concern from neighboring nations and international observers, raising uncertainties about the Holy Dominion’s internal stability and its potential geopolitical impact. As rumors continue to swirl, the fate of Patatulla and the broader implications for Zuhlgani society remain subjects of close scrutiny.

Prime Minister Tirng, alongside Izaakian President Rombold, announced that Eflad and Izaakia are signing the TPNW.
“Today is an important day in Efladian history. Eflad sees itself as a neutral country whose goal on the international stage is the rational one. Peace and security are one of the most important values Eflad seeks to achieve alongside its international partners. I believe the best way to changing the world for better is leading by example, by setting the standards high for others, we must commit to them ourselves and lay down the road so that others can follow us. Today, Eflad is taking on this role on the international stage alongside its partner Izaakia by committing to a safe future for the upcoming generations and eliminating nuclear weapons. I am happy and proud to announce that the Izaakian President and myself have met here to sign the TPNW agreement. I am sure that our joint effort to commit to the treaty is move towards a better world. We could not be happier having Izaakia alongside as a strong and reliable partner. We call to other fellow nations, take our arms so that we may reach you. Lead by example!”
RAFI:
The Grand Duchy of Nasphilitae held its first general elections on the 30th of January and the second round on the 4th of February, subsequently forming the composition of its National-level Public Offices.
The First “Containment” Act was passed upon inauguration of The National Parliament on the 11th of February. NAACN had criticised that the Act is ambivalent regarding motions of confidence.
This is incorrect. It merely rationalises the HoG dismissal of his Officers, whereas the Parliament can dismiss one Officer of his Cabinet upon which all of government is collectively dismissed. Which is ingeniously flawed, but not for the reasons NAACN gave.
“Systemic caues of the ongoing Liquidity crisis in Nasphilitae” were nicely diagrammed, but highly reductive. I guess it could be useful for pop-sci textbooks.
The relevant (for cross-Pacifica) upcoming Agendas include consulates re-opening & some program of inter-cultural studies. Good luck because this country is annoyingly eclectic with its customs.
