Governor Adelbert “Bert” Graham of Vexen Village was seen smiling as he held up a document and flashed a V for victory as the Termina Commerce Guild has lifted its sanctions against the City-state and restored its full export rights. The TCG declined to comment what concessions it received from the city-state, but the Governor was quick to say that he was grateful for all of the support from concerned citizens and foreign friends like the United States of Izaakia. The Governor also stated that although they missed the window to join the Endurance rally due to the pesky regulations they would be ready to join next year as the derby was a prime chance to advertise Vexen cars to the USI and the rest of the region.

USI Chancellor Fifi DePfeffel has hailed the liberation of Vexen Village from punitive and unnecessary business restrictions as a Great Leap Forward in improving Termina-Izaakian relations and economic prospects. The Chancellor also urged the Termina Commerce Guild to economically liberalise and not to pursue similar policies in the future, as it undermines confidence in the Terminan markets and discourages investment.

Parliament Repeals the “Military Law of Balance Act 2020” which required all army units to have no more than 45% of its composition from a single home nation, and required the commanding officers to be from a different home nation to the largest component nation in the unit. President Storm is said to have personally requested the change saying “I trust the brave Izaakian service people from all 3 nations, each and every one of them having shown loyalty and courage in our nations struggles against an axis of evil over the last 3 years. Our experiences together have bonded our nation, and for it, we are wealthier and more unified”. The bill was widely seen as a lack of trust in Brodlancian and Montacian armed personnel, and its repealing is expected to be a boost in morale.

A massive nurse strike across Cadiz has left thousands of hospitals empty with staff for the past few weeks. Some hospitals, especially those in rural areas, have been forced to close.
The nurses are demanding higher pay and more time-off. This is in part due to a law signed by the Prime Minister in January which partially nationalized the nursing and aide system.

Cosmos in association with Vino Nord have announced the Montacian Sparkling Wine to be used on the podium of the Izaakian Endurance Rally will be a 2018 Chateau Liberte Vintage that has been to space. Each magnum bottle has a retail price of $800 before being launched into space at $2000 per bottle in special containment systems to prevent unwanted explosion. However, due to the rareness of the wine and space combination, market values are in the region of $3 million +tax, a mark up of 100,000%.

Myrian Stocks have been turning into a bear market as of March.
Some frontline officers of the Imperial frost military questioned the lack of soldiers on the Emerald Denvari side as reports that the Emeraldian and Denvari military are allegedly committing 12,000 and 6000 troops surface as the Empire alone is committing 3 regiments totaling half of the Emerald Denvari effort combined.
When asked if the smaller numbers from the starhawk pact would affect the intervention, the officers dismissed it saying, “the international Expeditionary force being smaller than the primary combatants makes sense. One has to juggle defending their homeland while also upholding treaty or international obligations hence why it makes sense for the Cimbrian and Spirasian Expeditionary forces being small makes sense. However one would expect the Emeraldians to commit more troops to resolve their conflict instead of rely on the international community to resolve the difference in firepower.”

The Federal Republic of Kliegme has advised the Starhawk Pact to commit more troops into the operation, as the results of the operation is related to the security of the region.
(ooc: As it was edited that Emerald commited 120,000, the above is no longer valid.)
The MoD of Kliegme has announced that the 47th and 790th Aviation Regiments will be withdrawn from the Operation, as they have served their purpose of destroying Ludvillian Infrastructure. MoD has announced that certain Pilots, after careful consideration, will be awarded the Honour of Hero of Kliegme.

The Thalapadian indie videogame “rainland” has gone viral after multiple popular streamers and YouWatchers have played it. The game puts you in the place of a small creature called a catslug, seperated from it’s family and exploring a world locked in cycles based on periods of heavy rain. While exploring the vast world, each cycle the player needs to collect enough food to be able to hibernate, while trying to not get eaten by the dangerous fauna. Critics prase it’s procedural animation, but complain about how hard the game is, even calling it unfair at times, but that’s something that doesn’t put off the players
