Local parliament in Mira, a self-governing part of Jäähua in the arctic, still enforce abortion rules passed in 1956. Asked why, the head of social affairs said changing the law is not a priority for locals. Whereas Jäähua introduced free abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy in 1973, the citizens of the Mira islands have kept their restrictive laws from 1956.
Today, a Miranese woman has to fulfill one of four special criteria to be legally eligible for an abortion: She must either be in severe danger, have been exposed to rape or incest, carrying a fetus at risk of suffering from severe physical illness, or be deemed unable to take care of her child.

BREAKING— According to several high-level sources at the Krauanagazan Defense Department, Zuhlgan has carried out a raid inside Mitallduk in an effort to free their citizens being held hostage by the Takaran People’s Army (TPA). The TPA has also released videos of Krauanagazan citizens, including their ambassador to Mitallduk, who have also been held hostage by the TPA for over two weeks.
It is unclear if this is a coordinated effort to free all of the hostages held by the TPA, or if it was solely a Zuhlgani operation. Sources inside the Defense Department declined to comment on any potential plans to rescue the Krauanagazan hostages in Mitallduk.
According to an anonymous senior staffer inside the Executive Office Building there have been serious discussions about moving the nation’s defensive posture to DEFCON 2. Which would be unprecedented in Krauanagazan history. Since the implementation of the Defense Condition (DEFCON) system in 1987, the Krauanaet has ordered an elevation in military readiness only 5 times, and only once to Defense Condition 3. Krauanaet Zharan would be the first Krauanaet to elevate the nation’s defense condition to DEFCON 2.
