As of now, the Social Democratic Party of Kliegme has shown their support for the ascension of Kliegme into the CE, along with the Green Party of Kliegme. DuK, the current Party in Power, has recently agreed amongst themselves to support Kliegme’s neutrality. While President Boroshilov has not made a statement supporting either side, it is expected that he sides with his party.
Given the High approval ratings of DuK, and Kliegme’s turbulent relations with Frost, a member of the CE, it is expected that Neutrality will be maintained for Kliegme if the current geopolitical situation continues.

The Sedunnic Language Council, the body that regulates the Sedunnic language, is looking into officially expanding the Sedunnic alphabet to include the letter C. Some regional varieties of Sedunnic have a sh-like sound, which is not represented by any letter in the official alphabet, but the letter C has been used unofficially to represent that sound. Proponents of the reform say that an updated alphabet will make Sedunnic more democratic, as many more will be able to write as they speak.

The Fi’Shi tribe- once thought to have gone extinct with the passing of the late chief Finix Fi’Shi- has been rediscovered after the emergence of a group of FiHami citizens escaping newly-discovered underground human trafficking rings by the Antarchi elites.
The Viktor family was previously regarded as a shining beacon of what the wealthy class should be. Philanthropic, elegant, and mysterious. However, at midday, while the family was out on a tour of the north island, the family’s incredibly dark secret emerged.
“They purchased and sold us as if we were fish. If we disobeyed there were punishments. And any attempts to escape were met with death.” One of the newly-freed Finixi citizens by the name of Liberty told reporters. “Our children were ripped away from us, and any show of human emotion was met with violence.”
The Viktor family was arrested this evening as they arrived back home to ruins.
14 FiHami citizens freed themselves from the Viktor family residence. Tuafanu and Kalani Fi’Shi, siblings born in captivity and the responsible parties for organizing the escape, agreed to help FiHami law enforcement hunt down the remaining trafficked populations and reintegrate them to society.
“As long as our blood continues to run with the life force of Ha’Fi-Nix we will fight to bring down the rest of these captors and free our siblings.”
Leaked documents suggest that the Berusturgian tech giant has bribed officials of the Federative Council Tech and Transmission Sector (FCTTS), which enforces several regulations on technological and radio products within Berusturg. The bribe consists of about 4 billion Beruses (equivalent of 1.5 billion US dollars) in exchange for skipping almost all tests which force companies to comply with said regulations. The specific products have not been revealed as of yet. The Federative Council nor Its Tech and Transmission Sector did not comment on the scandal when asked about it.
The results for the Ariala Island referendum have come in.
The island has voted 67% in favor of joining Ikaranara with 87% turnout. Despite the over 50% results, it comes 9% shy of meeting the required 75% for joining. Many on both the island and in Ikaranara call for an amendment to the constitution lowering the threshold, but just as many say it is neccesary to prevent a “Tyranny by Majority,” noting that the island’s high voting rate may also be due to the situation in Losavra, and one politician saying. “Hasty decisions like this will not aid anyone… They do not want to join Ikaranara necessarily, they just want to leave Losavra. It’s our duty to aid our fellow Indavrals and make sure their nation is one that they don’t want to leave.”
While many are upset about the results, the Ikaranarean government has confirmed it will not change the constitution, and Alertz himself has stated he would veto any proposal to change this aspect of the constitution. As you need the assent of the Head Governor to change the constitution, this effectively prevents such a change for the rest of his term- and most likely for another term, as his approval ratings stay extremely high.
