Higurashi has released a general Frontline map using intelligence it has received from both its local operatives and reports from the frontline. A spokesperson from the city-state cautioned against taking the map as complete fact due to the changes in the front line. Important to note, TSF border guards have held the line against Nationalist forces along the Kliegmean border, but lack adequate munitions to push the nationalists Eastward.

The Governor General of Higurashi also cautioned against celebrating the encirclement of Vermilion city due to the city-state being a major fortress during the Great war acting as a major bastion on behalf of the Imperialists with tunnels stretching across vast stretches of the North including tunnels to Oceanus.

With Immediate objectives being met, the Kliegmean MoD has agreed to supply the TSF border guard with captured munitions and Kliegmean weapons alike.

Kliegme has sent an official request for Mipha to either allow it millitary passage in order to secure the safety of Yatagaras.

The 35th Mountain Division and the 3rd Quick Response Division has crossed the Border to relieve Rimuru. In the North, Kliegmean forces that have encircled Vermillion has reportedly been using Great-War era tunnel maps to track and bomb tunnel networks using bunkerbuster bombs.

As Kliegme, then the Karnetvorian Dominion of Crabry, were part of Imperialist forces, it is assumed that while this strategy would likely fail to take account for new expansions of the tunnel networks, it would disrupt resupply efforts
The Kliegmean MoD has stated it has reasons to believe the leadership of Vermillion has fled the city.

Foreign Diplomatic Experts have theorised that the Concordia Entente may not be as united or coordinated in the military actions in Termina as they appear to be, based on the content of the Statement from the Kliegmean MoD. Which reiterates many times the need for a expanded commitment to the joint CE operation and how it is inadequate(albeit it was said in much ambiguous language in the actual text) in the current situation, especially regarding naval and air situations.

They suggest that the differing priorities between Kliegme, a direct neighbour of Termina who has less need of Gulf access, and the rest of the CE, who has focused on securing the Gulf for trade, may be the reason for this disunity. In addition, Kliegme’s status as a non-founding member of the CE have been cited as a reason for why its voice may be smaller in the CE Military Committee

Attacks were reported in the Ikaranarean portion of Tzara. Atrissian Tzara, bordering Ikaranara broke away at the start of the war to join the Losavral People’s front, and Ikaranara just intercepted an attack of over 100 missiles shot at various places in Tzara. These attacks come after protest from the Tzaran minority in Atrissian Tzara, who were attacked and beat during a protest against war. Many in Ikaranara, especially in Narus and Ikaranarean Tzara, have urged the government to led a full-scale invasion of Atrissian Tzara to alleviate fears on the border. One Narussian woman stated “Ikaranara has not been threatened for hundreds of years. These attacks are unprecedented, and the military needs to do something about it before Ikaranareans get hurt.”

In other news, the Ikaranarean Navy has partially mobilized to aid in securing the waters around nationalist Termina. A military spokesperson said “We have a vested interest in keeping Termina stable. They’re one of our foremost trade partners, and the last thing we need now is for our trade partners to start suffering economic downturn.”

The Sedunnic Ministry of Defence has confirmed that a majority of Sedunn’s navy and air force elements joined the Kliegman armed forces in its large-scale strike on Nationalist City State military targets in Termina “in accordance with the plea of the legitimate government [of the TCC] and international law” in order to “bring about a swift end to hostilities”.

The ministry has declined to comment on whether Sedunn will deploy ground forces. “As of this time, we cannot comment further on this ongoing military operation due to the security of involved personnel.”

Karnetvor has also been confirmed to have carried out long-range strikes from Tasternine, a controversial move due to Karnetvor’s invasion that set off the Great War almost 75 years ago.

The Southern Provisional Government gained a major legitimacy boost with the admission of the city-state of Yanga in the wake of Karnetvor’s strikes on Nationalist lines.

Meanwhile Yamatai locals overthrew the local government and declared their allegiance to the Nationalist cause crying out, “Remember the Great War!”

Miphan officials continue to deliberate on whether to allow Kliegmean forces to enter their soil or declare total neutrality expelling all factions off their half of the island.

The Prime Minister of Alcoalitania, Javier Ruiz, has officially launched the Coalitanian Freedom Project, a legislative initiative aimed at creating a more open and inclusive society. In a televised address, Ruiz described the project as “a transformative step forward for Alcoalitania” that reflects the country’s evolving values and commitment to human rights. The initiative, which is expected to span between six months and a year, will involve sweeping reforms aimed at modernizing the legal and social framework of Alcoalitania, making it a place where all citizens are respected and given equal opportunities.

The announcement has already sparked widespread discussion, as the government outlined an ambitious timeline and a set of progressive goals aimed at reshaping the legal landscape. Ruiz emphasized that these changes are necessary to bring Alcoalitania in line with global human rights standards and to promote social harmony and justice. He assured citizens that these reforms would be implemented carefully, with input from the public, relevant stakeholders, and parliamentary representatives.

The Coalitanian Freedom Project will start immediately, with the government prioritizing legislation that aligns with the core principles of individual freedom, dignity, and rehabilitation over punitive measures.

Core Goals of the Project

1. Decriminalize Soft Drugs
   The government intends to decriminalize certain soft drugs, such as cannabis, allowing for regulated use within a controlled legal framework. This policy shift focuses on harm reduction and aims to free up resources currently used in prosecuting minor drug offenses. Decriminalization would also pave the way for regulated businesses and generate potential tax revenue, which could be reinvested into public health and rehabilitation services.
2. Abolish Capital Punishment
   A major aspect of the initiative is the abolition of the death penalty, a move that reflects Alcoalitania’s commitment to humane justice. The Prime Minister has argued that capital punishment is inconsistent with modern values and does not effectively deter crime. This policy will mark a decisive shift towards life imprisonment as the maximum penalty for serious offenses, with an emphasis on rehabilitation.
3. Expand LGBTQ+ Rights
   The initiative will aim to eliminate most, if not all, legal restrictions placed on LGBTQ+ individuals. This includes the recognition of same-sex unions, adoption rights, and the ability to serve openly in the military. The Prime Minister stated that these changes are essential for building an inclusive society that respects individual freedoms, and he emphasized that the rights of LGBTQ+ citizens are non-negotiable in a modern, democratic state.
4. Rehabilitation Programs for Prisoners
   Another key element of the project is to shift the criminal justice system’s focus toward rehabilitation rather than punishment. Under the new policy, prisoners will have access to educational and vocational programs aimed at preparing them for successful reintegration into society. Substance abuse and mental health support services will also be expanded to reduce recidivism and address the root causes of crime.

Next Steps and Implementation

The government has established a series of task forces to oversee each aspect of the reform process, composed of policymakers, legal experts, social workers, and community representatives. These groups will draft legislation, hold public consultations, and develop action plans to ensure that each goal is achieved efficiently and effectively.

In the coming weeks, parliament will begin deliberations on initial legislation, starting with the decriminalization of soft drugs and the abolition of capital punishment. Public hearings and debates will also be held to gather input and foster transparency.

While the initial legislation could be passed within a few months, full implementation of the Coalitanian Freedom Project may take up to a year, especially for areas requiring structural changes, such as rehabilitation programs and anti-discrimination protections. Nonetheless, the government remains optimistic that with broad support, Alcoalitania can emerge as a leading example of social progress and inclusivity.

The Prime Minister closed his announcement by urging the nation to “embrace the change that will bring us closer to a future where all Coalitanians feel seen, valued, and respected.”

[Kliegme]

Kliegmean MoD has released their recent advances in Termina. It has reportedly advanced in the Rimuru front and linked up with its defenders. The recent coup in Yamatai has made it target for Kliegmean bombardment, with military facilities being targeted.

In besieged Vermillion, Kliegmean troops have reportedly secured the suburbs, but the city centre remain under nationalist control. With Vermillion still insecure, it is expected that the 5th Guards Tank Division and the 31st Motor Rifle Division would be tied down in the area.

Oceanus has been hit with multiple missile strikes, as if to compensate for the Kliegmean focus on securing Vermillion.

Kliegme has ramped up its diplomatic offensive to get Mipha to acquiesce to military passage or declare neutrality.

Krauanagazan Troops Mobilize for Major Offensive in Eastern Prira

---

BREAKING— A senior source in the Krauanagazan Defense Department reports that there are “significant troop movements underway,” with large convoys of Krauanagazan armored units, artillery, and logistics vehicles heading toward the Zuhlgani border near the contested Eastern Prira region. This development comes just weeks after allied forces dropped leaflets urging civilians to evacuate the area ahead of a, “major operation.”

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the movements are part of a broader operation, a Krauanagazan initiative aimed at neutralizing Zuhlgani forces entrenched in Eastern Prira. While no official statement has been released by the Krauanagazan government, initial reports suggest that the operation will focus on securing key transportation corridors and urban centers, including Lumayyaratal and Torvisezh, which are crucial gateways into Zuhlgan’s interior.

OOC: The following post is a summary of events in and reactions from Gianatla. The given dates shall be considered canon.

06 November 2024, ca. 6 PM
Minister of foreign affairs, Strunk, comments, that chancellor Sanddorn, WF vice speaker Meise and himself all support Gianlucian neutrality in the conflict around the Gulf of Good Omen.
First media reports about a situation in Clocktown, Termina, are taken seriously. The government does not expect Gianatla to get involved in that conflict either however, since no CE activity is expected from the foreign ministry at the moment.

(OOC reminder: The statement was made before Sedunnic foreign minister Gijeramm or the Kliegmean government has made any comments on CE discussions.)

8 November 2024, ca. 8 AM
The cabinet Sanddorn will convene around 10 am to discuss a reaction to the latest calls for help from the Terminan city state Higurashi. Debates within the CE are apparently already undergoing, but according to anonymous sources, the federal republic could not make any offer yet, that was deemed helpful by its allies.

8 November 2024, ca. 9 PM
With Texeteti’s victory in the FiHamian PM elections, Gianlucian social media is going wild. The hashtag #ILikeBrainwashing is making a grand return, although many commenters also express worry about the future course the island nation could take.
Also in on the discussion is the head of the Atlantic People’s Party, von Neptunsberg, who even went as far as calling the FiHamian elections a sham and their politics in general “a ridiculous joke”. Von Neptunsberg especially received backlash for a comment on a video of Texeteti’ supporters celebrating their candidate’s victory on streaming service Rollercaster by saying any FiHamian living in Gianatla, who “voted for a psycho prisoner” or “wishes for the continuation of weird traditions around schizophrenic, burnt-up children” shall be deported.

Outside of social media, chancellor Sanddorn has confirmed to have called the prison Texeteti’ resides in, to congratulate the new PM to his election victory. The conservative KPHA has criticised her for this move, citing potential recounts due to the ominous result despite no recounts being planned apparently.

11 November 2024, ca. 9 AM
After President Voroshilov announced a CE intervention into Northern Termina, the ministry of defense still remains quite reserved on how Gianatla will continue to act. During a press conference it was made clear however, that the USI’s stance of the Southern Terminan Provisional Government being the legitimate government of Termina is not shared. “As usual, the Gianlucian government is on the side of the only legitimate government, which is that of the TCG.”

11 November 2024, ca. 11 AM
The arrest of people at a queer rally in Jakub was criticised by the Gianlucian minister of social affairs, families, the elderly and the youth, Ezinado (Greens), as well as the minister of justice, Lambertz (SLP). “An attack on queer people is an attack on free, democratic societies”, Ezinado expressed on social media.

14 November 2024, ca. 9 AM
Chancellor Sanddorn has announced a proposal by the government to not only help establishing naval blockades around Termina, especially in the Northern conflict regions, but to also reach out to the USI to help coordinate CE and USI actions in the area to reestablish stability on Crabry again. There is no guarantee for a successful Königspalast vote, which is scheduled to take place at the start of next week, however Sedunn’s and Karnetvor’s cautious strikes on nationalist city states’ territories in the TCC are making a vote in favour of more military involvement likelier.

16 November 2024, ca. 10 PM
A clearly tired and sick former King and Leader Gianluca IV has confirmed on a Rollercaster stream, he will not campaign for his party, the social liberals, in next year’s election. “I’m still a polticial commentator, but it’s not about me anymore. The party needs to find its own way to gain trust again and find solutions for the problems Gianatla is facing.”
Rumours are going around, he actually planned to run for a seat in the Königspalast, but feels too politically apathetic now.

18 November 2024, ca. 4 PM
The vote on military involvement in the TCC has been postponed until further notice. The opposition parties reacted by calling the Sanddorn administration incompetent in regards of how the government currently lets down its ally Kliegme. Minister of foreign affairs, Strunk, has rejected those assessments and alluded to there being difficulties to receive definitive CE commands or reaching an agreement with the USI, which is seen as paramount to bring back stability to the TCC.

22 November 2024, ca. 9 AM
Chancellor Sanddorn has expressed her condolences to families affected by the Brodlancian earthquake and offered financial and humanitarian aid to the Izaakian government to deal with the damages to infrastructure and human lives caused by the earthquake.

Acting Chief Benjamin Harris uses limited power as Acting Chief to shoot down “emergency proclamation” from Prime Minister Texeteti’ which attempts to restrict the hours “Ta’oshi” in FiHami are allowed to be outside "without being accompanied by a Wahashi.

The proclamation would have restricted anyone with the “M/T/H” gender markers on their driver’s license or ID card from walking around in towns between 7pm and 7am without someone with a “F/W” marker on their identification. FiHami citizens with the “X/K/S” markers would be exempted. It would also make changing your legal gender illegal outside of the initial designation at 16.

The attempt has sparked massive outrage among FiHami citizens, especially the Finixi majority of which Texeteti’ belongs to.

“Classy move, taking away rights from the Ta’oshi and not allowing anyone to legally change their gender.” An enraged citizen told the Ha’Hani Times. “News Flash, many Finixi people change their gender at least twice in their lifetime. I bet anything Texeteti’ has changed his gender at least once.”

“This was a horrid attempt at policing the entirety of FiHami to conforming to a specific ruleset and while I am in my post as Acting Chief I will not let that sort of rule pass.” Benjamin Harris addressed FiHami this morning. “In FiHami, you are free to be yourself, even if others may not understand you.”

“I actually support the move.” High Priest Huahasi told reporters when asked for comment. “Ki Ta’oshi and ki Hu’oshi are very impulsive, very brash, very inconsiderate people. I would know, I am that way as ki Ta’oshi myself. It is through my work that I am able to tame my Ta’ energy and be better. We must acknowledge this fact of life and make sure FiHami isn’t endangered by the stampede of brash impulse that still allowed to wander the streets without any restraint. Only then will we see the drop in crime.”

[Kliegme]

Kliegmean MoF states its condolences over the lives lost due to the earthquake.

However, as Kliegmean Humanitarian Efforts are focused on aiding the Terminans, it is expected that Kliegme won’t be able to provide meaningful relief to the Izaakians.

Extrapaeliamentary left-wing opposition “United Progressive Party” utilises the Gianlucian hesitancy to the “Joint CE Operation” to criticise the Voroshilov Government’s “reckless adventurism” in foreign affairs. However, this claim by the UPP failed to account for the other CE allies who have joined Kliegme in its operations.

Devastation in Brodlancia: 7.6 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks Claro State, Raising Alarms Across Southern Cordilia

---

Claro State, Brodlancia — A powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.6 struck Southern Brodlancia earlier this week, with its epicenter in the remote, mountainous regions of Claro State. The quake has caused significant destruction, collapsing buildings, triggering landslides, and cutting off access to some of the worst-hit areas.

Initial reports indicate widespread damage across Claro and neighboring Vinlandia, where landslides and rockfalls have obstructed critical roadways, hindering emergency response efforts. Local authorities have yet to confim fatalities, and the full extent of the devastation is still being assessed as rescue teams struggle to reach isolated communities.

International humanitarian organizations, including the International Federation for Humanitarian Aid (IFHA), have begun mobilizing resources to assist Brodlancia. However, access to the hardest-hit areas remains the most significant challenge.

“Time is critical,” said Zhariv Nallik, an IFHA disaster relief coordinator. “The longer we take to reach these remote communities, the greater the risk of loss of life.”

The earthquake has fueled worries in Krauanagaz about its own seismic vulnerabilities, sparking fresh concerns in Southern Cordilia, particularly along the West Continental Trench where the West Plate subducts the Brutland Plate and where a controversial study earlier this year predicted an 8.5 magnitude or higher earthquake to occur within the next three years.
