Protests occurred in Rodenne, calling for the release of the 3 MPs and some even calling for an independent Elbonia. The protesters, numbering around 1000 people, march to Rodenne City Square, carrying Elbonian flags (and even flags of the Free Elbonia Movement and the Elbonian National Army), singing nationalist Elbonian songs and chants.
Police have been dispatched into Rodenne City Square to make sure the protest stay in order and not turn violent.

Suddenly, silence. Footsteps. Antonides walks onto the stage. He seems anxious, uneasy because of recent events. He aproaches the lectern and adjusts his microphone.
“Children of the sea we all know why this speach is being held. Many of you expect me to declare war. That is not going to happen. Thalapadians won’t die in lands ruled by war criminals. Blood does not need to be spilled, but we will certainly spill their wine. Humania, ignoring warnings of the international community, ignoring warnings of our many siblings, has put the Venom tank, a war crime on wheels, into active service. They claim that weapon of torture shall only be used defensively. Me, and many more, don’t belive them, and even if it is true it still shouldn’t exist, as it brakes the Grove convention, the greatest of international law. Because of that we need to react. Thalapadis has already put maximum sanctions on Humania, and we call on others to join us. New measures shall also be done. Later today Eva Anastoti, our ambassador to the world forum, will petition it to condemn Humania’s actions. I also anounce that all humanian refugees shall be welcome in thalaladis and our allied city states to the north of humania. Ships will be present on the naval border to aid refugees crossing the sea. Lastly but most importantly i announce naval exercises in the Thalapadian sea. For now it’s certainly known that Ryccia shall accompany us in them, but all members of the leauge of Cordillia are invited. These exercises shall start on December 28th, and end in early January.
Humania is a destabilizing force, threatening the whole of Cordillia. If it doesn’t back down and stop making weapons that are violating international law it shall be treated accordingly”
Yttria is joining Thalapadis in it’s sanctions against Humania. Actions are being taken to find ways to accelerate to training of new Yttrian soldiers without impacting their abilities
THIS IS A MESSAGE FROM THE EMPEROR OF HUMANIA, CITIZEN PAY ATTENTION
BROADCASTING
Attention citizens of Humania. Today, Thalapadians announced full economic sanctions against us. While this development is quite shocking, they plan to go even further, condemn us.
Fear not, citizens. Our top economists have been working hard to adjust the economy incase of sanctions, and while they do state we will be going through some rough times, if we stay together and work together, we will overcome this challenge.
In other news, Thalapadians plans to host military drills, presumably getting ready to attack us. We understand their decision to run a military drill, and respect it. It is their military and they may do with it has they please.
Times may get tough, but with hard work, we will live.
The Starhawk Pact has requested Thalapadis if The NCFN(Nova Colradian Federal Navy) and ERN 1st fleet can join in military exercises in the Thalapadian Sea.
When asked, the Minister of Trade and Industry, Yvo Hartmann, stated in a radio interview “No, I have no intention of lifting Humanian total sanctions nor stopping Operation School Laboratory against Humanian assets anytime soon, and I am sure my fellow colleagues in government will not either. This is our joint responsibility as neighbours on the North Cordilian continent to prevent a growing dangerous, inhumane and internationally unacceptable threat in our region and we must act accordingly. Even though this might come off as interventionist, this is ironically the least interventionist policy we can adopt respectfully and responsibly.”
After growing international tensions, the Humania Military is looking to expand it’s already small nuclear arsenal. Military Engineers are now tasked with designing a new nuclear bomb for Humania’s military. Old designs from previous attempts are being used to help speed up the process.

Delays due to sanctions, but so far everything is on relatively on schedule.
Rhayna condemns the Dictatorship of Humania and raises economical sanctions.
Lyssa Fiore has been appointed as the head of Rhaynan-LoC relations as in past wartime of the Rycco-Cordilian war.
Lyssa Fiore has simply stated: “We have not taken seriously enough the menace that Humania is to members of the League of Cordilia. We support completely the actual actions of northern LoC members and Besern.”
Exports of enriched and raw uranium has been even further limited to just allies of the LoC, allies of members of the LoC and enemies of Humania. The enemies of Humania will have a similar low tax price as the one of exports and imports inside the LoC.
In other news, the Rhaynan Navy has announced it will be joining naval exercises in the Thalapadian Sea. Although Lyssa Fiore has stated it’s not due to the actual situation of Humania.
The Pelinese Armed Forces have completed simulation exercised against an amphibious invasion and found that existing PAF military forces are adequate for repelling such an assault, even if mounted by a significantly more powerful nation. Participating officers have stated in assessment papers that the combination of dense SAM, TBM, and ASCM emplacements, heavily fortified airbases, large volumes of defending RPAF aircraft, swift responses by PWA formations near attempted and succeeded landings, and successful interdiction of amphibious warfare ships and their supporting forces by the RPN and RPNAS rendered a successful amphibious invasion of Pelinese territory “effectively impossible.” The RPN states that its upcoming package of still-in-sea-trials ships will soon be commissioned and that it will tip the already lopsided scales in decisive favor of Pelinese military supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern Ocean.
The Thalapadian government has shown concern because of Humanian nuclear development but hasn’t condemned the action

It can defeat modern tanks by top attack, hitting where armor is thinnest, and is also useful against fortifications in a direct attack flight. It is available in man-portable, vehicle-launched, and helicopter-launched variants.
The thalapadian military has said that Thalapadis’es allies, especially LoC members, will be able to purchase the missles
