Several clashes between the Visrodin military and the National Republican Front have occurred in the mountainous provinces of the peninsula. With their rule somewhat solidified over the more populated provinces of the country, the military now seeks to put an end to the anarchy-like state most of the rural regions of the country find themselves in.

Due to the collapse of the public sector and previous government, the situation on many baronies of the country is practically unknown. Public services and security forces have been on hold or missing from the rural baronies. This situation could possibly have given the NRF plenty of influence on rural regions, as members of the organization could have been the only force present to give basic services to the population.

Kevpríg Province, Krauanagaz — The Holy Tiribtallan Republic, the newly established semi-autonomous zone in Southwestern Kevpríg, is already facing significant challenges just weeks after its creation. The landmark agreement between the Krauanagazan government and the Red K-MOT alliance, which granted the coalition semi-autonomous control over the region, was hailed as a step toward peace. However, the transition has been marked by logistical hurdles, political tensions, and skepticism from both local residents and international observers.

Okhoa on Edge: Protests, Refugee Tragedy, and Regional Tensions Threaten Stability

Varekko, Okhoa — Tensions in Okhoa continue to mount as separatist protests show no signs of abating after nearly two weeks of unrest. Sparked by the expulsion of four Krauanagazan diplomats accused of espionage by the Okhoa Regional Council, demonstrations have spread to every major city, including Varekko, Ka’atria, and Med Ka’liivar. Protesters accuse the Regional Council of acting under the influence of the Zuhlgani Divine Committee, undermining Okhoa’s autonomy and democratic governance.

In Varekko, clashes between security forces and demonstrators escalated today after protesters erected barricades and blocked a major roadway in the city. Reports indicate that security forces deployed tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds, leading to dozens of injuries on both sides.

A protest leader in Varekko, Amari Lendik of the Okhoa Independence Party (OIP), condemned the heavy-handed response, “The people of Okhoa are fighting for their freedom from foreign control. We will not back down.”

Ex-Prime Minister Texeteti and recently-reinstated Ha’Coron’ Puani Kokostali announced their wedding date for April 1st, 2025.

The Ruling Power of FiHami has officially disolved the old FiHami government. In its place, Puani Kokostali will serve as Ha’Coron’ with unlimited power. High Priestess Huahasi has declared that the highest head in FiHami will be passed through family lineage due to “new light” from Ha’Fi-Nix. Ki Ha’Coron’ has also declared that the Coron’shi Finix Fi’Shi is her child, miraculously born to her without a father, and is the heir to the Highest Head.

A condensed list of the current orders from the Highest Head are available below.

-Appointing the Court. The Advisory Court declares the Advisory Court consist of Texeteti’ Kokostali, Jon Huahasi, Menani Ikuri, Uwaki Hastofi, and Fi’Shi Hama. Should these representatives be unable to serve, the heirs to their titles will serve as advisors.

-Abolishment of Antarchi Genders. Female, Male, and X gender markers on FiHami identification will no longer be recognized. Anyone currently possessing identification with these gender markers have 30 days to update their gender or face immediate arrest.

-Understanding Social Reality. Matriarchs are to be given preferential treatment and are dominant over all other genders. Artists and scholars are considered to be preferred over providers and warriors, who are considered to be the bottom of the social order and should only be considered for jobs unbefitting of others.

-The Antarchi Question. All citizens with more than 2 Antarchi grandparents, excluding the Highest Head, are to be sent back to Antarcha immediately. Any Antarchans still present in FiHami are to be deported as well.

-The Antarcha War. Antarcha will immediately surrender all Finixi peoples currently being held hostage by the Antarchan government, including criminals Kai Hastofi, the Harris Family, Kilaui Kuri, and Benjamin Garrison. The Antarchan Government will also release Coron’shi Finix Fi’Shi back to her family. Failure to do so within a week will result in further retaliation.

Chairman Anton Todorov has finally finished to appoint several military officers to the new military government’s cabinet. All of the members of the cabinet are high-ranking members of the military, and all previous serving government officials have been officially discharged (although their government had already been dissolved several weeks ago).

The Secretary of Foreign Relations, Ivan Artsik, has released a statement about Visrodin’s new foreign policy and the status of all existing embassies: “The newly established, legitimate, military government of Visrodin seeks to distance itself from any foreign interference or influence. With this, Visrodin wishes to keep its neutrality. Due to the loyalty conflict of many Visrodin ambassadors in other countries, all existing Visrodin embassies in foreign nations are no longer officially recognized and will be dismantled. Embassies will have to be re-established if any country desires to re-start any sort of relations with the Kingdom.”

On another hand, the Secretary of Finance and Economy, Stat Spasov, has officially declared that: “due to Visrodin’s large gold and currency reserves, sanctions will not affect the country that much”. Spasov, who has little prior experience in economics, has also stated that, if possible, Visrodin should pursue the establishment of autarky.

Zuhlgan Signals Support for Military Regime in Visrodin Amid Regional Tensions

Cordilia — Today the Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan issued a carefully crafted statement signaling tacit support for Visrodin’s newly established military government, led by Chairman Anton Todorov. The announcement, delivered by Zuhlgan’s Foreign Ministry, praised Visrodin’s recent efforts to, “restore stability and sovereignty,” without explicitly endorsing the regime.

Zuhlgan’s chief diplomat, Autark Kula H’kara, speaking on Zuhlgani state media, emphasized the Dominion’s respect for Visrodin’s political autonomy. “The Holy Dominion of Zuhlgan respects Visrodin’s right to determine its own political future. We laud steps taken to ensure national security and reduce foreign interference,” H’kara stated.

BREAKING — The Ludoraiya has passed a highly controversial bill prohibiting the use of fire in Kalutir Fireball matches for individuals under the age of 20. The legislation, which narrowly passed with 157 votes in the Ludikiari and 56 in the Zhirveniayyaka, cites growing health and safety concerns over burns and respiratory risks associated with the traditional flaming ball.

Supporters argue the bill will protect young athletes from long-term injuries, while opponents— including cultural heritage groups and professional Fireball associations— have condemned the move as an attack on Krauanagazan tradition.

Several demonstrations are already being planned by Fireball enthusiasts across Alkantara and Tatallap, with critics calling the ban an unnecessary overreach into cultural sports. The bill now awaits Krauanaet Thalira Renkara’s signature or veto.

The authoritarianization of the Kingdom of Visrodin continues, as all Visrodin TV channels have stopped being transmitted, except the newly established, government-run, “Channel One”. Most big newspaper publishers have also been shut down, and replaced with government-approved sources.

Several Visrodin citizens have reportedly also been arrested over the use of VPNs, as the military government is trying to establish firm control and restrict internet access to the citizens of the Kingdom. The government has not released any statement about it, but social networks “Stream” and “Pasture” are reportedly down in the country.

It is not known exactly the extent of the previously royal, and now military, repression. Some journalists estimate that around 20,000 citizens have been arrested, and 3000 have been executed. The sources for this are not that trustworthy, however.

Okhoa Unrest Intensifies Amid Renewed Clashes and Diplomatic Fallout; Krauanagaz Calls for ‘Intervention’

Varekko, Okhoa — Tensions in Okhoa have reached a critical juncture as protests against the expulsion of Krauanagazan diplomats and allegations of refugee mistreatment continue to paralyze the region. In the past two days, violent clashes between separatist demonstrators and security forces in Varekko and Ka’atria have left at least 47 injured, according to local sources.

The Okhoa Independence Party (OIP) has vowed to escalate its resistance, calling for mass demonstrations across the region and the continuation of a general strike that has already disrupted trade and transportation. “The Regional Council has betrayed Okhoa’s people by serving the interests of the Divine Committee instead of protecting our sovereignty,” said OIP leader Amari Lendik.

Roadblocks in key urban centers, including Med Ka’liivar, have brought local economies to a standstill. In Ka’atria, a critical port remains shuttered, with ships delayed or rerouted, causing ripple effects throughout Okhoa’s trade networks.

Krauanaet Renkara Walks Back ‘Intervention’ Comment in Surprise Press Briefing Appearance

BREAKING— In an atypical and unexpected appearance at the ‘throwaway briefing,’ the final scheduled press briefing of each week, Krauanaet Thalira Renkara sought to downplay and clarify remarks made by Secretary of State Darius Korin, who earlier suggested the possibility of an “intervention” in Okhoa amid ongoing unrest.

Renkara emphasized Krauanagaz’s commitment to diplomacy, stating, “There is no intention— nor has there ever been— of pursuing a military intervention in Okhoa. Our focus remains on fostering peace and supporting international mediation efforts.”

The surprise statement comes as tensions between Krauanagaz, and Okhoa continue to escalate, with Okhoa accusing Krauanagaz of destabilization efforts. Renkara’s comments are seen as a move to defuse regional fears and reassert Krauanagaz’s position on non-aggressive diplomatic resolutions.

Political analysts suggest the damage control attempt signals growing concern within the Renkara administration over strained relations with Okhoa and its powerful backer, Zuhlgan.

Protests and riots have intensified in Visrodin’s largest cities and towns, as many Visrodin citizens have just received notices for immediate conscription to the army, as the military government seeks to expand the mandatory years of military service.

Reportedly, up to 100k Visrodin men are to enlist in the army as soon as possible to not face arrests. Although the Kingdom’s military budget size has always been at a decent level, the military dictatorship will have to increase military spending by a large degree in order to efficiently train and arm the newly enlisted soldiers. This will clearly be at the cost of other public services, such as education or healthcare.

This measure is no surprise, considering Todorov’s militarist ideology, but the velocity and scale of this course of action are most likely exacerbated by the growing threat the NRF presents to the Kingdom.

Ceasefire Holds as Krauanagaz and Zuhlgan Begin Peace Talks

Gulf War— The two-week ceasefire between Krauanagaz and Zuhlgan, which began on February 3, remains in effect as both nations have agreed to engage in preliminary peace talks mediated by Emerald and the World Forum. The ceasefire, initially brokered to address humanitarian concerns and prepare for potential volcanic activity at Mount Alkantarak, has provided a rare moment of calm in the ongoing Gulf War.

The ceasefire has largely held, with no major violations reported by either side. Both Krauanagaz and Zuhlgan have used the pause to evacuate civilians from high-risk areas near the Luzayyagaz Volcanic Arc and to deliver much-needed aid to war-torn regions. However, the scale of the crisis remains overwhelming, with millions still displaced and in need of assistance.

Preliminary peace talks began on February 6 in Emerald, with representatives from Krauanagaz, Zuhlgan, and several neutral nations in attendance. The talks, mediated by Emeraldian diplomats and the World Forum, aim to address the root causes of the conflict and establish a framework for lasting peace.

The negotiations are expected to focus on several contentious issues, including the status of the Okhoa Protectorate, the withdrawal of foreign forces from Mitallduk, and the establishment of a demilitarized zone along the Gulf of Good Omen.

Despite the progress, skepticism remains about the ceasefire’s longevity. Hardliners in both Krauanagaz and Zuhlgan have criticized the talks, with some accusing their governments of making unnecessary concessions.

The Red K-MOT alliance and other militant groups have yet to formally endorse the ceasefire, raising concerns about potential spoilers. Reports of sporadic clashes in Southern Kevpríg and the Okhoa Protectorate have further complicated the situation.

In Krauanagaz, the ceasefire has been met with cautious optimism. Many citizens hope the pause in fighting will lead to a lasting peace, but others remain wary of Zuhlgan’s intentions. While in Zuhlgan, state media has framed the ceasefire as a strategic necessity, emphasizing the need to address the volcanic threat and humanitarian crisis. However, public opinion remains divided, with some calling for a swift end to the war and others advocating for continued military action.

The Visrodin Army has reportedly suffered an important defeat in the province of Chernogor, as members of the National Republican Front directly attacked a military garrison and a warehouse stocked with basic infantry military equipment.

The attack was quick, as the NRF forces outnumbering the garrison’s soldiers quickly gathered around the base and attacked it from all sides. Most of the garrison’s soldiers quickly surrendered. The NRF soldiers then ransacked the base for all of its equipment and even took some of the soldiers with them, either as hostages or willingly.

Military reinforcements arrived after the NRF forces had already sacked and fled from the garrison.

Zuhlgan Revokes Lease on Okhoa Coastal Patrol Ships, Orders Immediate Return

Just Now— The Zuhlgani government has released a statement announcing that they have revoked Okhoa’s lease on its patrol ships and ordered that all vessels currently in service as part of the Okhoa Coastal Patrol be returned immediately. This decisive move comes amid growing tensions over the treatment of refugees and allegations of maritime misconduct in the Gulf of Good Omen.

A senior official from the Zuhlgani Foreign Ministry stated, “The revocation is a direct response to repeated violations of international maritime conduct and represents our commitment to upholding security and human rights in the region.” The order has been communicated to Okhoa authorities, who are now scrambling to comply with the directive.

Meanwhile, critics from both Okhoa and Krauanagaz have decried the decision, warning that such unilateral action could further destabilize an already volatile geopolitical climate.

Knyaz Viktor III Rucheyski has held a speech in the central plaza of Sarnitsa, escorted by several high-ranking military soldiers instead of the usual members of the Royal Guard. The speech was regarded as being full of empty promises, prepositions and worthless overall by the public who attended the speech, both physically or through TV.

Some of the attending individuals reportedly shouted at the Knyaz, calling him a traitor, and some others even called for his, as well as Todorov’s, execution. These open critics were quickly dealt with by the regime’s security forces.

It seems like the soldiers who were escorting the Knyaz were in reality most likely restricting his movement, as the Chairman may have sent an order of house arrest affecting the Knyaz and his close relatives. The Knyaz seems fully under control of Anton Todorov, and still keeps his title for Todorov to not completely radicalize the royalist sectors of Visrodin’s society against himself.
