BREAKING— Following a meeting with coalition leadership today, Krauanaet Zharan alongside coalition leaders has announced that the coalition government will be dissolved on July 5, with an election on July 6. The announcement comes after weeks of speculation on whether the measure to hold a snap election would even pass in the Ludikiari.
On the day the snap election resolution was approved, a source inside the Executive Office Building reported that high-level meetings were taking place regarding accelerating the election’s timetable. Both the snap election for Krauanaet and this year’s scheduled legislative elections were originally planned to take place in early November, but the governing coalition has taken a gamble. Deciding to hold both the legislative and Krauanaet elections on July 6, despite polling indicating that Lor’nai’da Intaín (LI) is quickly dropping in popularity among voters.
The move comes as a shock to many after the Zharan administration spent weeks trying to quash the resolution. However internal disagreements proved to be impassable, and dissent quickly spread throughout the governing coalition— eventually leading to the resolution’s passage in both the Zhirveniayyaka and the Ludikiari.

Izaakian National Arrested in Hai Men After Stealing Truck and Crashing into Nanyang International Airport, Injuring Dozens
An Izaakian tourist identified as RAS (50) has been arrested in Hai Men for allegedly stealing a truck, crashing into several vehicles, and ultimately breaching security at Nanyang International Airport. The incident occurred on Sunday night.
The suspect reportedly stole the truck in the Tokio district, assaulting the driver, Zhan Long (25), who was asleep in the passenger seat at the time. The suspect then drove the stolen truck towards Nanyang Airport, crashing through toll gates and ramming several cars and trees, causing significant damage along the way.
Police and airport security apprehended the suspect at the International Departure Terminal of Nanyang Airport, after he was harshly beaten by locals. He was subsequently taken to Nanyang district police for questioning. Over 14 people were injured in the incident.
Huawan Drafts New Controversial Deportation Bill
The Huawanese parliament has drafted a new deportation law that limits applications for asylum seekers in “instrumentalization scenarios.” The law also authorizes the use of force to prevent entry without assessing the specific circumstances of individuals.
The law specifies that border guards can accept asylum applications in exceptional cases, particularly for individuals deemed vulnerable or at risk of severe human rights violations if returned. However, proper assessment requires trained personnel, adequate time, and appropriate facilities, which are unlikely to be available in brief interactions with border authorities.
Additionally, the proposed law does not provide a genuine appeal mechanism, offering only the possibility of an administrative complaint that would not halt the deportation process. This proposal is part of a series of recent measures by the Huawanese government to restrict the rights of asylum seekers and immigrants.
Goldwyn Tampalla Hands Over Largest Cruise Ship, the 248,655gt “Frastinian Queen,” to Poseido
In mid-June, the largest cruise ship ever built by Jäähua, the “Frastinian Queen,” set sail on its maiden voyage to Atlantis in Gianalta. Gianaltan-based Poseido, a leading cruise conglomerate in Frastinia and the Rainbow Isles, will operate the ship.
The “Frastinian Queen” is considered one of the most complex industrial projects in modern Jäähua history. It incorporates several smaller, yet massive sub-projects and is hailed as the most sophisticated cruise liner, setting a benchmark in green transition and energy consumption for cruise ships.
“Together with Poseido, Goldwyn Tampalla set the bar exceptionally high in terms of design, technology, safety, and reducing energy consumption,” said Goldwyn Tampalla CEO Evan Saari.
Services for the “Frastinian Queen” are already booked for the next two years, and its sister ship, the “Southern Daylight,” is currently under construction and will serve the Mediterranean.

Mysterious Attacks on Zuhlgani Leaders Continue
Ozákla, Zuhlgan— According to state media, the Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan is grappling with an escalating wave of targeted attacks against its local leaders, leaving the nation in a state of heightened alert. In recent weeks, several prominent officials have reportedly been assassinated under mysterious circumstances, with no survivors or witnesses left to provide crucial information.
In a recent incident, Akosso T’rakor of the border town Kharazaki was found dead in his residence, the apparent victim of a, “highly coordinated attack,” according to Zuhlgani state media. Authorities report that the assailants left no traces, making it difficult to ascertain their identities or motives. This attack is the latest in a series of similar assaults that have claimed the lives of multiple Zuhlgani leaders, spreading fear and uncertainty across the Dominion.
Security forces are on high alert, and the public is urged to remain vigilant. Early reports suggest that the attacks are executed with a high degree of precision and coordination, raising concerns about, “external involvement,” as expressed by Zuhlgan’s foreign affairs chief, Autark Kula H’kara. Zuhlgani authorities suspect that insurgent groups, possibly aided by foreign elements, are behind these heinous acts. Zuhlgan’s leader since the death of his father in 2018, Arkava Ibinete IV, in a rare television appearance stated, “Our Dominion stands united in condemnation of these heinous murders and will not rest until the culprits are brought to justice.”

The Minister of finance Mirko Firnt, from the Liberal party, has commented on the Bahn 2030 project: “The project presented by several ministers recently is a very brave one. The most important issue is the financing. We have to ensure that Eflad doesn’t reach a point of debt overload. The “Bahn 2030” project idea is still subject to the Etat [i.e. the Budget]. They will have to compete for the funds same as anyone else. Money doesn’t grow on trees, sorry if that is a wake up call.” The speech then shifted to the ideological aspect, with the minister saying: “We shouldn’t forget what the Greens called for after the trimester meeting: an effective ban on new highways and de facto cars. This Bahn 2030 cannot and should not defect the automobile industry in Eflad. We have to ensure that Eflad stays open to new technology and this means fossile fuel powered cars as well. If we give e-Fuel just a bit more time, a radical change will not be necessary.” Several political figures, prominently the head of the DU, have called for new elections citin arguments within the coalition and the PM being very silent on these matters.

MLAI/MLMLAI Copyright-Royal Courts "non-binding opinion" and NAACNs first decent article, and RTOS capability of NUS—Royal Court Advises against copyrighting cross-property content
Short answer: No.
->AmpoChem did end up asking whether Granhalia could copyright innovations generated by “NUS”. I was joking when I suggested this possibility.
–>The Royal Court used a “non-binding legal opinion”, which should always be understood as: “this will be how it would be decided if a case was brought forth”, essentially a warning.
–>It also remained silent on the matter of copyright regarding MLAI and MLMLAI generated content in general, which means that they’re leaving all options vague, purposefully. So they’ve essentially followed the principle of Redemptive Justice, as in creating ambiguity to such a degree that guilt emerges as a human response.
—NAACN: first good article, some errors
->This was covered more extensively by NAACN here, who for once made a good article, providing necessary context. However, there are still some mistakes.
–>In Granhalia portion, it uses “70-20-10% profit” – No. It is net revenue of Granhalia, not profit nor revenue.
Short: Nobility and Lumpenproletariat aren't socially mobile, they require additional criteria of hereditary titles for the former and "pathological deviance" for the latter. Open for that fun.
–>Regarding the class structure there are a few. Firstly, “somehow the clergy” suggests that the New Managerial Class isn’t essentially the same as the New Industrialist Class? NAACN likely purposefully made this mistake to make their class appear poorer than it actually is.
–>Regarding “Social mobility”, which is extremely high even within one generation, it does not include two of the six classes. Which require additional criteria other than median annual earning.
—>The Nobility is hereditary. Honorary titles, while they existing since Dorothy, is not the criteria used. The former criteria was being of the Peer House or a direct lesser vassal (Earl). Since Earls are now also hereditary, it’s the additional criteria.
—>The Lumpenproletariat includes the criteria of “pathological deviance”, which is an euphemism for: violent criminal records, hospitalisation due to repeated psychosis episodes, and the travelling circus… The last one stands out but it’s because they’ve been 6-8 nomadic groups dating back some 350 years and its origins are religious… “Behemothian Liberationists” were a heretic movement which arose as an extreme form of Adamites and performed circus plays as means of criticism. In the 1960s sexual liberation movement the travelling circus was also advocating for nudism…
—RTOS Capability of NAPA-OS-XX
->This is from Kons (Inc.) and PrototAutomaton meant in response to both Bahn 2030 Project of Eflad and to Rombolds Automation Plan of Izaakia.
—> While commending both ambitions, Kons (Inc.) informs Eflad, as an investor in our own infrastructural project, that PrototAutomatons’ NAPA-OS-XX includes necessary RTOS algorithm capabilities.
—>These have been around for a long time. They’re pretty necessary for any transportation terminal to function.
However, the fact that RTOS algorithms no longer require a separate OS is what PrototAutomaton kind of wants to flatter itself with. It also “Is open for sharing technological automation advancements with Rombold, after the economic commerce liberalisation is absolute.” (August 20th).

Stable Growth to Jakubian Economy
With Jakub’s ethnic insurgency having ended as of last year, Jakub saw a temporary boom in its economy as the country became economically. This boom has begun to end, yet is resting at a stable growth rate as Jakub begins to approach Q3 of the year.
With the constant growth, Jakub has begun to shift some of its budget from military and policing to infrastructure, education, healthcare, and the redevelopment of the Miasto Portowe’s outdated large port.
Although some of the government’s left-wing critics have claimed Jakub should be spending more on welfare, the current administration, being mostly conservative and centrist, opposes the idea, claiming the money on the debatable effective welfare should be spent on more effective economic efforts.
