Alika Pact Headquarters Moved - The Alika Pact has moved its main base of operations from Alika to Roiwek temporarily under chances of Kalaki being attacked by sanctioned nations.
Kalaki Increases Percentage of GDP on Defense - An increase of defense spending has also jumped, from 2.4% of GDP 20 years ago to 4% of GDP as of yesterday, with an estimate to be 10% of GDP in 2 years under the current conditions
Montwælda Rombold has given a speech to Parliament today where he said that;
“The Izaakian nation will work in close partnership with our allies in liberty, stability and democracy.”
He went on to say,
“In the Terminan conflict, which weighs heavy on my thoughts and prayers, there is a choice, a choice between liberty and anarchy, a choice between security and terror, and a choice between freedom and slavery. The choice we have to make is to work shoulder to shoulder with the Southern Terminan Provisional Government, to establish a nation free from the corruption and anarchy of the puppeteered TCC, and secure from the threat of fascism and terror from the Nationalists. This is a position that may once again put us at odds with our fellow nations, however, it is my heartfelt belief that all peoples of this earth deserve freedom and stability, and that the only way to free the Terminan people is alongside the able and democratic governance of the STPG”
He went on to recommend legislation to Parliament for direct military involvement and support for the STPG.
Kliegme has convened the CE Military Committee due to recent developments (OOC: following are classified) regarding Izaakia’s intention on actively joining the war on the STPG’s side, who are hostile to CE activity in the region.
The Ikaranarean Defense Ministry has not put in an official statement out about official Izaakian military intervention to the STPG, but sources say that key military officials and members of the executive branch have been contacting military and government officials of several CE nations, especially Kliegme. This is a developing story.
Approximately 12 explosions were heard today in various towns in the JLM-controlled areas of Jakur. The Miradi government has previously warned of an incoming barrage of air strikes, and the locals have been evacuating since. The MoD has commented on this stating that “Today, we have striked over 20 JLM bases in various towns in Jakur. We are determined to liberate the area and enforce our sovereignty as a great and prosperous nation.” The Miradi Air Force reportedly used Coalitanian warplanes for the attacks.
The Izaakian Foreign Secretary Scarlett Blanc calls for constructive talks between the CE and USI to ensure the two sides don’t enter direct conflict with each other in the TCC through miscommunication.
Word has gotten out by Ikaranarean and Losavral sources about a mass shooting that occured in LPF-occupied Atrissian Tzara. Sources say that a massive Tzaran protest occured near the LPF headquarters of the reigion, and LPF members- mostly Atrissians- opened fire on the crowd, killing as many as 300 and wounding 500 more. There has been outcry over this event, with many Tzarans in Ikaranarean Tzara demanding that the Ikaranara-led coalition occupy and restore order to Atrissian Tzara immediately.

Judicial papers from the 4 detainees on: Gabriel Ishaton, Raymond Newman, “Zendee”, and “Shepherd”
Upon the release of the four detainees, The Prosecutor for Critical Infrastructure and Telecommunications (Gabriel Ishaton), was requested to provide reasoning for detainment by the local Courthouse of Clayinn. However, they’ve been released by the local law enforcement. Forwarding the request to the General Prosecutor, it has been revealed that the local law enforcement released the detainees upon being contacted by “Shepherd”, an employee from The AID Department for Law Enforcement.
The NUSP Task Force had employed Raymond Newman as the revision author for RFCs. Newman comes from a contact center profession background and worked in a firm during 2019 called “Wirewarehouse”, which was located in Starfall, where one of the detainees was from, near New Sorthane. During 2019., mass unemployment occurred due to the regime change, specifically targetting the ITO of the company.
A central power plant black-out occurred earlier this morning effecting the northern Regions of Nasphilitae, which are ~50km away from Clayinn. Nasphilitae is bordered by the TCC to the North, though the attack is only nation-wide, thanks to the regulation passed. This attack has been publicised as an attacker going under the alias of “Zendee”.
Parliament votes in favour of limited military intervention in the TCC, and approves a £80 billion war chest for the STPG. The vote was 3/1 in favour, with only the Conservative Party which has ties to nationalists and terra Firma voting against.
Nationalists forces have pushed further south into Central Termina despite suffering setbacks in RImuru Valley and Yamatai. The siege of Vermillion continues to remain a stale mate as the defenders remain in high spirits.
Chancellor Ifukube still remains missing sparking fears and suspicions of his demise. However, the Chancellor’s alleged death has been vehemently denied by pro-TCC forces fighting to push the Nationalists out of Clocktown.
The Kliegmean Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that it is not fundamentally against cooperation with Izaakia in restoring peace in Termina, and elaborated on the CE’s legitimate role in doing so. However, with diplomatic rhetoric in mind, experts believe that this statement is less of a genuine declaration of partnership, and more of a “Don’t touch me, Don’t touch you” type of deal.
(OOC: CE Eyes Only)
Kliegme has shared its progress to the CE Military Committee, and made clear that it will be hard for Kliegme to make an offensive towards Okeanos while Vermillion isn’t secure. Kliegme also laid out its priorities before conducting further operations, being securing the border, pacifying Vermillion, and neutralising rebellions in occupied regions.
Fighting in Yamatai continues fiercely as more locals join the Nationalists. One prospective Yamatan guerilla stated, “We’re fighting for our homes. The Guild sold out to the Karnetvorians during the fallout {siege of Clocktown] and its our duty as Terminans to expel the Imperialists.” The recruit also added, “Regular Kliegmeans aren’t our enemies, but we’ll fight them 'til we get our homes back.”
In a rare statement on international geopolitics Keanu and Hurley recognises the Southern Terminan Provisional Government as the legitimate government in Termina. Foreign minister Princess Kauai described the TCC as criminally negligent to the extent where they are a state sponsor of terror, citing Terra Firma attacks in K&H earlier this year.
STPG forces clashed with the Frost Empire in a border skirmish in the first potential escalation between the Pro-TCC coalition and the rivaling STPG. The origin of the skirmish is murky with the Empire claiming the STPG attempted to probe the Xion security lines the Empire has been covertly digging in anticipation of the STPG offensive. Meanwhile the STPG claims the Frost empire invaded part of its territory and demanded their immediate withdrawal.
The Daily Penguin - Kalaki
The Kalaki Ministry of Emergency Management and Response, has teamed up with the Royal Kalakian Air Force, and Royal Kalakian Navy, to split donations to Krauanagaz (@Kobegr01 ) and Termina (@Frost@Kliegme). The MoEMaR has also upgraded their donations facilities in San Marsico and Marica.
On 2024-12-14, contrary to expectations, the renewed Kliegmean offensive struck not Vermillion, but Yamatai by storm. Probe attacks intensified in the area, but only culminated in an all out offensive.
Kliegmean Military conducted a large-scale offensive, only comparable to the one that relieved Rimuru, involving the 3rd Quick Response Division, and the 4th Guards Tank and 12th Motor Rifle Divisions. The latter 2 divisions were not in the 9th Army, the Army sent to defend Kliegmean citizens in Termina and ensure peace prior to this offensive, implying Kliegmean involvement in the war has increased significantly. Due to the high support for Terrorism in Yamatai, it is speculated that Kliegme will perform a pincer to encircle and isolate the city from further support, and essentially grind out the terrorists.
With Missiles and Bombs striking stronghold networks in the hundreds, Tanks and IFVs outmaneuvering and encircling the Nationalist forces while Air Support picks them off, the situation in Yamatai has undoubtedly escalated.
A Counterattack from the defenders of Yamatai is expected, but considering the situation, it is unclear how effective it will be.
(OOC: There was Maskirovka before the offensive, giving it a slight element of surprise, but not a complete surprise since there were a few firefights. I imagined the Ukrainian offensive in 2022 while writing this. Additionally, if the writing seems a bit too propagandistic, it was slightly intentional)
Talks between the neutral city-states and the warring parties continue peacefully in spite of the looming threat of invasion from one or all rebuffed parties. However, in a boon for the STPG and Nationalist causes several unnamed city-states have demanded the Immediate withdrawal of Kliegmean forces from Yamatai as a condition of remaining loyal to the TCG.
One official who asked to remain anonymous claimed that Yamatai’s populace overthrew their elites because of the historic and real fear of a return of the Imperialist occupation where they were heavily oppressed and forced to extract Yamatai’s raw resources for the Imperialist war machine.
The Miradi Air Force has carried out 5 more explosions on five more JLM bases in the regions of Jakur and some parts of Nonajema. A sonic boom was also heard over the key JLM-controlled town of Polaas.
