The People’s Republic of San Marsico offers Vrigny second hand C-M3 Crusiers and D-S2 Destroyers - Whilst visiting friends in Vrigny, Samik Grads, Head of the San Marsico Ministry of International Relations, noticed that the Vrigny’s naval assets were lacking on modernization and could be prone to water-borne attacks. “We offer Vrigny, some of our updated 2000s Crusiers and Detroyers to help protect them from water borne attacks.” - Samik Grads, Head of San Marsico Ministry of International Relations // Yannick Foze
While the Vrignyan Government appreciates this offer by part of the People’s Republic of San Marsico (@ThePRSM) , it reiterates its intention of keeping a small army, since the Republic is still young, and 10 years ago Vrigny had been dominated by an oppressive military since the 1950s. The Vrignyan Defence Minister, Joseph Balein, slightly changed his statement, saying that: “Vrigny’s naval assets aren’t numerous, but are at most 25-30 years old”.
With no real intention of being an interventionist country, to meddle in other country’s politics or affairs through military force, the Vrignyan military only recieves enough budget to defend Vrigny itself, and the current Green government says that “$12 billion is more than enough for a military with previous moral problems”. No military vehicles or ships are expected to be acquired so far.

NCIS Accesses Exploded Izaakian Ship: Investigation into Catastrophic Blast Underway
BREAKING - Krauanagaz’s Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) has gained access to the hijacked Izaakian container ship that exploded nearly one month ago. Witnesses reported that the blast was so intense it shattered the windows of buildings more than 1km from the coastline of the mainland. NCIS has declined to comment on the potential causes of the explosion, saying that they cannot comment about ongoing investigations.
The investigation into the catastrophic explosion that occurred on the Izaakian container ship has drawn international attention, with both local and global media closely monitoring the unfolding events. Sources within NCIS suggest that the vessel’s condition will make the investigation challenging, as the intense heat and fragmentation from the blast have severely damaged the ship’s structure. However, officials are confident that they can piece together crucial evidence to determine the explosion’s cause.

Update: Tensions Escalate as Akarinan Delegation Shows No Signs of Vacating their Embassy in Zuhlgan.
Ozákla, Zuhlgan — Per KFN sources inside Zuhlgan, the situation near the Akarinan Embassy in Ozákla has taken a concerning turn as the Akarinan diplomatic delegation reportedly has yet to comply with the Zuhlgani government’s order to vacate the premises within the stipulated 48-hour period.
One military officer within Zuhlgan, speaking on condition of anonymity, has reported that there has been no observable movement or indications of preparation from the Akarinan delegation to comply with the evacuation order in the last 21 hours. This lack of response has further exacerbated an already volatile situation, raising fears of a potential standoff between the two nations as tomorrow’s 6:01 pm deadline approaches.
In response to the apparent defiance, the Zuhlgani government has issued a stern warning, reiterating its demand for the immediate evacuation of the Akarinan diplomatic personnel. Authorities have emphasized that failure to comply will result in enforcement actions being taken to ensure compliance with the directive.
Efforts to defuse the situation diplomatically are underway, with international mediators reportedly engaging in behind-the-scenes negotiations to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the impasse. However, the clock is ticking as the deadline approaches, raising the stakes for both Zuhlgan and Akarina as they navigate the delicate balance of diplomacy and assertiveness in a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape.
