The New Mako Nation wins its first Keylo-Izaakian Tribal Cup, following its split from Izaakia in a 2-1 win over the M’ania nation.
The football tournament is a short format football, with each of the 6 Keylo-Izaakian nations fielding teams from the Keylo-Izaakia National Squad, youth team, and reserves. The tournament is played over 14 days, and each game is 60 minutes long, with no extra time at knockout matches. The annual tournament is usually played in climate controlled stadia to help prepare for conditions in the upcoming host nation for international tournaments.
The tournament is considered the last chance for aspiring national team players to make it into the Keylo-Izaakian squad before the World Cup.
Following Saturday’s Referenda, Qaweritoyu has voted to abolish the Judiciary and to abolish compulsory organ harvesting. The vote on abolishing the State Religion failed for a second time and the vote on abolishing Capital Punishment failed.
Kliegme celebrates Chuseok, a Garanian Traditional Holiday. On Chuseok, masses of people travel from large cities to their hometowns to pay respect to the spirits of the forest, represented by Statues of Owls. Even under Orthodox Influence, such customs have survived.
Chuseok celebrates the bountiful harvest and strives for the next year to be better than the last. People perform ancestral worship rituals early in the morning. Then, the rest of the day is spent playing folk games and bonding with the family members.
This year, the joyous mood is further bolstered by the victory against Valkyria at the World Cup, with the controversial coach Hotchul Myunbov earning some goodwill.
However, not all Kliegmeans are able to celebrate the holidays with their friends and family, with the Terminan conflict still ongoing. While not comparable to the presence of loved ones, soldiers of the 9th Corps in Termina have received care packages from their families and donations from all over Kliegme.
STPG forces repelled a Nationalist advance towards Yin-oh. However, the Nationalists continue to make ground slowly encircling the Mountain to cut off the two halves of the STPG.
Meanwhile Kaiji Valley has continued to maintain its neutrality and promised to keep its trading rail line open to all factions of the war. A move that has irked the Frost Empire currently engaging the STPG along the Xion pocket.
This law was implemented after the citizens of the Technate became addicted to addictive substances, such as cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, et cetera, being one of the leading causes to death (lung cancer, drink and driving, kidney failure, et cetera) and overall being not healthy for the citizens to take apart of. The government is fully aware of the use of said substances by minors under the age of 13, saying that this order is the reaction to said abuse of freedoms.
The law states, that the citizens of the Technate of Calorina are dependent onto new laws, such as:
Nicotine Destabiliser Law
The government is allowed to imprison citizens, which use cigarettes in undesignated spots, as well as possession of nicotine without authorisation from the government.
Cigarettes are to be banned in the public, they are only allowed in designated spots, but heavily discouraged.
The use of vapes is banned nationwide due to its popularity.
Cigarette/Vape users will be fined heavily for smoking/vaping in public, with a potential prison sentence if repeated enough.
Prohibition New Deal
All laws concerning the old Prohibition act of 1922 to 1933 shall be reinstated into the country.
All religious, medically prescribed or illegally produced alcohol shall be confiscated by the government.
“Light Drug War” Act
Police shall monitor all use of light drugs, with possession being illegal.
All drug factories within the borders of Calorina shall be demolished.
“Hard Drug War” act
The use of hard drugs shall be dealt with an execution sentence.
Possession of hard drugs shall be dealt with an execution sentence.
Hard drugs shall be heavily discouraged.
[…]
This law was silently took into motion by the government to avoid controversy between its citizens, although the country already treats its citizens pretty well at cost of civil and political liberties.
The 9th Corps of Kliegme has reported that it has successfully withdrawn troops from the Yamatai area, having discussed and agreed the move with their Terminan allies. Described as a gesture of goodwill by the 9th Corps Command, Kliegme’s withdrawal from the region has TCC troops take control of operations in the Yamatai area.
Yamatai, having joined the Terrorist Front due to misunderstandings regarding the nature of Kliegmean involvement in the Terminan crisis, was subject to a siege by TCC forces aided by Kliegmean troops. The Siege was successful in crippling the terrorist militants in the city-state, but was unable to subdue the city-state completely.
The Tensions were alleviated by a negotiation between Yamatai and Kliegme which resulted in a humanitarian corridor for the city’s inhabitants, overseen by Gianatla. A year after the arrangement, the tensions in the city-state have largely diminished, with ‘combat’ being more closer to that of the firefights seen during the pre-war period of Termina than that of contemporary Terminan City-States.
It is in this background that the 9th Corps makes the decision to transfer operational initiative to TCC forces in the vicinity of Yamatai, transferring its forces in the region to other regions of higher strategic value.
Having beaten back the Terrorist counteroffensive in the northern regions earlier this year, and regaining lost ground, it is expected that Kliegme will focus on solidifying restored TCC governance over Vermillion City and liberate its surrounding areas so that it may serve as a springboard to Oceanus.
The Social Democratic Party of Myria has successfully passed a bill that would create a Sovereign Wealth Fund, funded by tourism and SME taxes, to reinvest in those areas.
At a Cabinet press conference today, a journalist wrongly called the Government a far-left Government. The Prime Minister rose to correct the record, saying, ‘Just to clarify, if we were a Modern Marxist Majority Government, that would be correct, the former Government of the Right Honourable Joanna Barrett and the Right Honourable Sir Jacob John Schmidt Jingelheimer was, indeed, far-left, but this is a Coalition Government between the Advanced Humanitarian League and the Modern Marxists so we are actually far-left egalitarian. Thank you.’
The City State of Yamatai was filled with a somber mood with the citizenry unable to accept the smooth withdrawal of the Kliegmean military. “They destroyed our homes, our livelihoods, starved and murdered so many of us, when all we wanted to do was defend our homes.” lamented one Yamatan, another raged, “So what if we joined our lot with the Nationalists, they didn’t hand over the Confederacy over to the Imps (Karnetvor and CE) or Zaakies, and the Counselors weren’t even going to send our young men to fight for the corrupt elites to the East. We just wanted to be left in peace, and instead of sending diplomats to talk to us, they attack us first for flying the ‘wrong’ flag, and we’re supposed to go back to business like usual after so much senseless violence?”
Terminan Security Forces broke through the nationalist encirclement of Rimuru Valley as Kliegmean reinforcements from Yamatai begin to reach their front lines. Meanwhile the STPG has made great strides reaching the border of Rokomo town, but have declined to take the city-state by force citing ongoing negotiations between the neutral city-state but warned that it could use force if the city-state continues to avoid making concessions that exclusively benefit the STPG
The Izaakian Foreign Secretary Fifi DePfeffel goes on the offensive in the Termina Civil War, accusing the CE and Karnetvor of irresponsibly backing the status quo in Termina, a state of anarchy, with no central authority to enforce the rule of law. A state of anarchy which has been the source of major regional arms dealing to non-state and rogue state actors, an anarchy that supplied nuclear weapons that were used by terrorists and failed to take any measures to prevent this from happening over and over again.
She said the only legitimate authority in Termina is the STPG, and that it must strive to build a federal authority that can rein in the city states, that can impose arms export restrictions, and that can enforce the rule of law.
She went on to announce a $5 billion rewards scheme for STPG and Keylo-Izaakian forces, that allows battle units to claim points for eliminating strategic targets and use those points to “purchase” specialised weaponry of the units choice. The rewards points will be actively priced based on the strategic value, and capturing a target or enemy combatant will have a +50% points value compared to killing or destroying it.
Ikaranarean forces near Termina who were engaging Losavral forces aligned with the Bvarai Benêr have begun to withdraw. It is said that with the increased tension between the Izaakians and CE, the Ikaranareans do not want to be drawn into a potential conflict.
