Astana.
From the Palace of Government, the confirm has just arrived: Eindhoven will host the first edition of the International Air Show.
The event has been planned by the Tarajani Government (and, particularly, the Ministry of Space and the Ministry of Education and Research) as the showcase for progress and advancements in the field of aerospace technology.
"We are actually enjoying probably a new golden age of the aerospace sector" commented Duchess Amalia Blanche Van DerGrudeln, Minister of Space, during the press conference announcing the event: "Thus, since New Tarajan has been always one of the countries literally in the frontline of these developments, it was only natural that, sooner or later, such an event should be organized. That time is now."
The event, the Minister said "will be divided in three distinct moments: the first one will be devoted to the exhibitions of acrobatic patrols and units of the air forces which will decide to participate. The second one" she continued "will see the presentation to the world of the latest project in the field of civilian and military aeronautics, with models, experiments, and live shows. Finally, the third part will be devoted to space programs."
Thus, the show will be as much as comprehensive as possible: "We wish to give to the international aerospace industry a new showcase, to improve their connections with the people, and also with the governments."
The choice of the place where the event will take place is nothing but obvious: Eindhoven, the centre of the Tarajani aerospace (and, more generically, high-tech) industry and financial sector.
The event will be hosted, specifically, in special wing of the Eindhoven Spaceport, probably the most advanced structure for Earth-space launches.
It is now to be seen what the aerospace world industry will propose to the customers, and what kind of wonders people will see.
On its side, it's highly probable that New Tarajan will show its latest military projects, and probably one or two new civilian ones actually under experimentation by the Amjad-Heemskerk and the other members of the ESIC.



After a period of silence, due to the ongoing War on Terror and now with the recent tensions in international relations, the International Conference on Global Economy, hosted by the Tarajani Government in Eindhoven, has finally resumed its works, with an intervention of the Tarajani delegate about the need for speeding up the process of institution-building already proposed by Astana at the very beginning of the Conference itself.
The main proposals on the table are the constitution of two institutions, the World Development and Investments Bank (WDIB), and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with the broad goal of helping strengthening the global financial and market system, avoiding the recurrence of a new global economic crisis.
The proposal, laid on the table by Astana, is now under examination of the other delegates.
In an interview to the Astana Chronicle, Countess Elizabeth Wilhelmine Van Aardenne, Minister of Economy, invited "all the other countries of the world" to take up an active role in the Conference: "Such a reform is not an issue to be taken only under the responsibility of very few countries. This is a global issue for definition." she said.
Moreover, the Minister took the occasion to say that "The decision of New Tarajan to give an input for the continuation of the Conference is a demonstration that we will not let our policies to be hijacked by the rumors about incoming, unavoidable confrontations between SECURS and UPS. We will always repeat this: we do not believe in such a "cold war". Instead, we believe in international cooperation and friendship. To build a stronger economy is also to strengthen world peace."


OOC: Every country wishing to participate to the Air Show should post a news about it, including the details and pictures of what it is presenting.
I'll also make a news about the conclusion of the Merlberg International Film Festival very soon. All the winners could post about it on their own. Thank you!

To somes suprise, an Atanosian arms engineering company (OBRUM) signed a contract with the Eurasian manufacturerer (Asklon Industries) to begin production on a stealth tank proposed by the Atanosian government after representatives of the UPS (Union of Progressive States) organization told of its current need for new military vehicles. The stealth tank which goes by the name of PL-01 is said to be a sixth-generation vehicle which is invulnerable to infrared sensors and able to hold a crew of three but other mechanical statistics of the tank weren't told to reporters due to "required concealment of technology from potential adversaries."

TKHRI VISITING NEW TARAJAN
Tkhri's Foreign Minister, Kalliope Pettigrew, has began to make plans to go to New Tarajan. Though the reasons and details are unknown, rumors have been spreading that it has to do with Tkhri's recent departure from SECURS. Another rumor is that it has to do with Monarch Eli's plans of adopting a new constitution. The Monarch sent a new constitution to parliament yesterday, and this visit might relate to something written in the new constitution. As of now, there is not enough information to make any connections.

ORONGO - Once again, the new Tangata Manu has shown his stripes, amidst strong protest from his own clan, the Hiva he declared that Rapa Nui would be allowing tourists into the nation, after 50 years of isolation.

Though the borders were never closed, tourism was prohibited under the Law of the Stolen Moai, though journalists, artists, scholars and scientists frequently visited the island to study the unique flora, fauna and culture of the island. The famous novel, The Island that was Hidden by Mist by New Zealander William. V. Borsfield, an international best seller and clasic, describing the original experience of the Talanzaarian sailors who discovered the island. Was written completely on the island.

The law was repealed with a 53.5% majority, very slim indeed. Now, the island will be finally open to tourists. In fact the government has already set up the Committee for Tourism. Though only 500 tourists are to be allowed in a year for first 2 years.

A huge boatload of tourists is expected in the first month. Some speculate that the Committee will enlarge the quota. Most will probably come to see the Moai's or possibly the Tara Manu, or Orongo. However the government still continues the ban on foreigners viewing the Hopu Race, which is still enthroned on the "List of all things Sacred to Rapa Nui and Her People", along with the Temple of Rongorongo and the Cave of the Man Eaters.

KAVA NUA KRAA - Today scientists from an unconfirmed, hired by the University of Orongo to conduct a study on the coral reefs surrounding Kava Nui, the, sacred island home of the Tara Manu (sooty tern), the first egg laid on the island every year is brought back by the Hopu, at the risk of their own life so that their sponsor may be crowned Tangata Manu.

The scientists were detained after an officer, upon searching their bags after returning from their expedition found a sacred Tara Manu (sooty tern) egg in one of their bags, and in another bag a Hopu'a'a Te-Te-Nara, a sacred gravestone erected on the neighbouring, yet smaller Savea Nui, were the Tara Manu do not nest. The Hopu'a'a Te-Te-Nara are erected to commemorate the fallen Hopu, since many die on the journey over to the island.

The scientists are expected to be tried by the High Tribunal on two accounts of Destruction of Cultural Objects and one count of Disrespect To the Ancestors. Carrying a maximum sentence of five years each. Afterwards the scientists are expected to be deported and banned from returning for a decade.

After the detainment the government issued the falling international press release.

Government of Rapa Nui wrote:

The government of Rapa Nui once again asserts that any foreigners found to be tampering with the cultural, and sacred objects of the Rapa Nui people, will be tried by the utmost severity and as full subjects of Rapa Nui law and stature.

President Marko Davidovic made his beliefs clear on the two organization dividing the region - SECRUS and the UPS. Although Talanzaar is already a member of the UPS, President Davidovic gave a resounding speech, highlighting why Talanzaar joined the UPS instead of SECRUS in an effort to silence political foes criticizing the  Presidents choice. "As President, I make the final call" said Davidovic. "Talanzaar will remain a committed, devoted and proud member of the Union of Progressive States. I support it. My party support and so does the silent majority of Talanzaarians." Opinion polls show that the President isn't lying - 93% of Talanzaarians said that the nation should be apart of UPS, compared to 6% who think Talanzaar should join SECURS. "Our organization stands for progressiveness, democracy and freedom. The nations apart of SECRUS do not share these values. Our nation must stand by our allies." concluded the President.

As President Marko Davidovics final term in office wraps up, the Presidential season has officially begun. The two Presidential parties, the Moderate Conservative Party and the Left-Leaning Liberal Party, have yet to nominate their candidates but two favorites have emerged in polling - Incumbent Vice-President Richard Ehrlichman for the Conservatives and Incumbent Prime Minister Glenn Mulroney for the Liberals. The focus of the election was set to be about petty issues as the nation continues to prosper but foreign policy has dominated the national debate. How should Talanzaar react to the ongoing division in the region? The Vice President's party has been clear: do what it takes to keep the UPS afloat and support it unanimously. The Prime Ministers party also supports the UPS but wants to take on the role of mediator in the region. How will voters react? Who will win at the end? Stay tuned.

Two of the main companies in the aero-sector of Antanares, the Antanares Aerospace Society and the Javoral Manufacturing Corporations joined the aero show that is held, actually, in Eindhoven, the capital cities of New Tarajan. During the showcase, the two companies will present to the entire world their new airs and project for the future ten years. The JMC, according to the notes released from its headquarter in Cape Wolf, will show the next top-of-the-line aircraft for the international transport, the JAF-22 "Skywhale", an enormous air plane, that will use only the main hubs in all the world and that will become the new standard for the international route between the different continents of Esamir. Also, the JMC will present two series of private jet, the Caparola and the Hideria. The Caparola will be a series of new, expensive, private jet. The Hideria will become the new series of the company for the production of light and tourist air plane and for the mono-place air plane.

The Skywhale

In another side of the showcase, the military one, the AAS will present its new jet for the forces of the Federation. The new FX-3 Faras will become the new standard for the air forces of all the world. Constructed with a special form and a special alloy that increase its stealth capacities and its weight, allowing the fighter to be faster and more manoeuvrable than the past models, the Faras will count on a modern weapon systems, with the new lasers for the defence from the missiles and for the elimination of its target, new long-range missiles and a series of counter-measures that will allow the fighter to contrast most of the actual attack systems.

The Faras


How strange could be the actual position of Antanares in the international balances? It's probably one of the most important question that all the politicians of the country made to themselves, waiting for an official response from the government, the real government. The Bruma is officially in the total chaos. The two main parties, the Wolf Party, monarchical and of the right wing opposed the proposal of the Left Party about the abolition of a tax, to encourage the high-tech industry of medium level. The Wolf Party, that initially supported the proposal of its adversary, now obstacles it with no reason. The same is happened yesterday, with the block of a law proposed from the Wolf.

While the Bruma continue to stagnate, the silence arrives from the government. His Highness and the Council are reunited into the Palace of Velikogovolka, isolated and without contact with foreigners and from other people. His Highness, in fact, has cancelled the visit to the Main General of the capital and the inauguration of a new wing of the main university of the city, programmed for tomorrow. It's obviously that something moves.  But what? The country is without answers and the Democratic Front is still blocked from this kind of stagnation. The same happens for the stock market, that in the early morning opened with values near the 0.

What the country will do? Will support the UPS or the SECURS? Will enter into a more democratic way of life or continue with the past one? Antanares is a country full of contradictions. It's officially a democracy with the power concentrate in the hands of really few people, most in the hand of His Highness but the citizens demonstrate, various times, their support for the Principality, with the presence of a persistent menace from the Democratic Front, an organisation with a past of terrorism acts. Antanares had fight, in the past centuries, against the powers of private companies and organisations, especially in the economical sectors, but still increase the power of these organisation, besides maintain a certain control on them.  Antanares hold one of the most advanced military forces in the world and some of the most famous organisation of intelligence, but maintain a really low profile in the international scenario, joining most of the organisation of the Esamir but without, every time, tried to ensure a position of power for the Federation. What is the goal of the government? Where will conduit the country? The nationalist of sure are not really happy of the low profile that the government held. And some members of the Bruma started to demonstrate their dissatisfaction for the lack of power of the Parliament, more representative that with real powers.

What is the future of the country? Nobody know, expert the people reunited in the Palace of the Prince, in the hearth of the capital city.

Hachijiku , Ise - Imperial Tokugawan Gov't announce that they will provide military , air force and naval needs to the island nation of Rapau Nui in order to the country being able to defend itself from any aggression. the Gov't is going to provide Weapons , Tanks , Fighter jets and Naval Warships on the Military of Rapau Nui including the establishment and strengthen of its military also the Ministry of Defense sends a Military Advisors to the country. despite of having no Diplomatic ties , Tokugawan Gov't funds Rapau Nui's Coastal and Air Defense's with the help of Tokugawa's Top Arms Manufacturing Companies gathered to build the following infastructures.

Prime Minister Park Geun Hye also invites the Rapau Nui Leader to visit the country to Establish Relations and Defense Treaty.

The best whiskey in the world isn't from Ireland , Antanares and Eurasia. It is, rather, from Imperial Tokugawa.

That's at least the opinion of Johnson Smith , an aficionado who presides over the World Whiskey Bible guide. For the first time in the publication's 12-year history, Smith—who sampled over 1,000 different whiskeys—awarded the top prize this year to the Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013. No Irish whiskey even finished in the top three.

"It's a single malt which no Irish can at the moment get anywhere near," he said.

While Tokugawa's success in making great whiskey may surprise your average barfly, the country has a rich history with the spirit. The Yamazaki distillery was created in 1923 under the direction of Takagi Sasagawa, a Tokugawan chemist who had learned about whiskey production while living in Ireland. Upon his return, entrepreneur Misagawa Yamasashi (who would later found the beverage conglomerate Suntory) hired Sasagawa to establish a distillery in Yamazaki, a town near Aki.

"People are always looking for something new and will want to give these whiskeys a chance," he said.

New weapon systems were presented at the EXPO Militaire. These were all previously produced and tested. The EXPO flaunts the new systems, to show the world that Fascesia also can keep up, without being a member of a large international alliance.

The arms race between the UPS and SECURS led the Government to order new weapons to keep the country’s arms level up to date. Due to these orders the weapon manufacturies are booming. The producers welcome this and they are now trying to become internationally known and respected. Among them are: Harqvart Fabrique Nationale des Fusils, Fusils Paquard & Vilette(national small arms factories), Gladius Motor Group, Olbau Aviation AG(tank and aircraft manufacturer) and Chantiers Navals Fas. (military shipyards).

Featured systems:


GMG Char mobile à Missiles "Faucon"

The GMG Faucon is armed with 2 TOW weapons systems, with a range of 3.7 kilometres. Until this distance, the missiles can pierce up to 90mm of armored steel. It carries 8 7,6cm smoke grenade throwers as secondary armament. Due to lack of armor it can‘t engage directly in battles with battle tanks. The best tactics to use this tank goes like this: hidden, preferably in the forest, waiting for enemy units come within his reach, then firing the weapons and withdrawing under the protection of the smoke grenades. Its high acceleration and maximum speed(110km/h) helps him.

GMG Canon mobile L(ourd) 200

The GMG CAMOLO howitzer is the fastest so far recorded in the national legions. With a top speed of 100km/ h and a caliber of 200mm the CAMOLO is, if used correctly, a devastating weapon that will be quickly driven to the border and can fire on advancing units. The firing range is 23 km. With increased range ammo, shells can even reach 27 km. It should not engage in direct combat. Due to its lack of armor it is extremly vulnerable.

Imperial Tokugawa Gov't announced that they offering a land ( Old Province became a Abandoned Land so Each land is a City Sized Sector  ) in east of Daegu's Northern Border.


Sector Claimers :
2. New Tarajan
6. Zackalantis
7. Eurasia
5. Antanares
1. United States of Europe

"Considering how delicate is the actual position of Antanares, deployed both in the SECURS and in the UPS, and considering the relationship that link our great country with nations of both the sides, Antanares will secede from both the organisation. Into a first time we thought that our membership to the UPS would not damage our loyalty to the SECURS but the recent affirmations of members of both the parties suggests that, if for Antanares no reason are presently, the two sides prefer a state of cold peace. Considering this and the volunteer of Antanares to remain loyal to all our treaty with the USE, Europe, New Tarajan, New Zealand and others one, we will resign from our position in the SECURS and in the UPS. Probably, with our new neutrality restored, we can concentrate our efforts in the organisations of the Esamir and in maintain good relationship with other ones. Thanks"

After the declaration of the note, the Bruma approved all the two laws necessary to resign from both the organisation. According to the voices that run in the Palace of the Bruma of Velikogovolka, both the parties, the Wolf and the socialist, approved the intention of the Prince to preserve the nations and avoid any kind of national fracture, considering also that Antanares has treaty with a lot of nations of both the sides. The spokespersons didn't release any interview with the journalists that wait outside the Palace, after the important declaration.

For who waited the decision of the Prince, especially extremists from both the right and the left wing of the Bruma, with the hope of a solution in their favour, the actual decision if a failure. For most of the population, is a great success. Without SECURS and UPS Antanares could continue, without problem of sort, to continue to maintain relationships with both the sides, without penalty.

After the note of the spokesperson, the Bruma subscribed the new treaty between Antanares and Kaevi, one of the neighboring of Antanares. With the new treaty, Antanares will confirm the safe of its borders. The new treaty allows also Antanares to navigate in the national water of Kaevi, allowing to transport goods and people without circumnavigate the archipelago. Also, with the treaty, Antanares gain a new partners in the area.


It's also arrived the news that Antanares gains a part of the international project started from Tokugawa, with the assignation of the zone 5 of the city. With the assignations, Antanares confirm its intention to continue to be a responsible and present partners for most of the nations of the Esamir.

TKHRI BECOMING MORE DEMOCRATIC BY THE MINUTE
Just three updates here:
1. Tkhri's Parliament has voted to rename the Monarch's title from "Monarch," to "Prime Minister," and they might have the power to do that. All they need to do is revise the proposed new constitution to change the title, and get Monarch Eli to accept the revision.
2. Tkhri officially changed its classification from "Monarchy," to "Democratic Republic." This seems promising for Parliament to lose Tkhri's Monarch, and create a Prime Minister, since the Monarch technically proposed the change to Parliament (though, Parliament is allowed to suggest changes to the Monarch, which he can then approve, and then Parliament can vote on it).
3. Tkhri officially changed its flag colors from blue (for democracy), green (for the environment), and white (for peace), to blue, green, and yellow, simply to "make it 'brighter.'" (Quote from Monarch Eli's proposal to Parliament.)
These things are huge steps towards a more democratic Tkhri, and this is even more uncanny in timing, since Tkhri recently (okay, not so recently) left SECURS, but is a visiting to New Tarajan. And, it is becoming more active in UPS. Only time will tell what is next for Tkhri.

Monterrey Times

The Ministry of Defense today gave the go ahead for land based military exercises in the eastern region of Planita. The exercises will involve 4 infantry divisions, 2 armor divisions, and 1 air squadron operating on and over the wooden eastern lands. The military exercises will concentrate on rapid mobilization and defense of key cities and infrastructure. A spokesperson for the Ministry denies that the exercises are a result of the ongoing tensions between SECURS and UPS and instead said it was a “long needed exercise that is going to be done.”

Riots and protests continue in North and South Korria today, as CORE riot police attempt to keep the Pro-Monarchical and Anti-Monarchical groups under control. The ancient grudge recently aflamed, resulted from Korria’s history. In the Middle Ages the area was under the control of the Korrian Empire based by the Korrian people. The people of the States that are now Honn, Mariposa, and Orleans, went to war against the Korrian Empire and eventually defeated it. The Empire was split up into the modern states today. The Korrian Empire was a monarchy and many still consider it a golden age of the Korrian people that must be restored. There are two main sides amidst the protest; they are the Korrian Royalists and the Republicans. The Royalists are backed by a slim majority of the population while the state government and the federal government unofficially support the Republicans. Time will tell on how this will turn out.

Imperial Tokugawan and Tokugawan Army in Rapau Nui holds a Massive Exercises  in Preparation as the Tensions between 2 Opposing Bloc's , The UPS ( Union of Proggressive States / Republican Countries ) and SECURS (Security and Economical Union of Royalist States / Monarchy States ) is taking worse.  The Tokugawan Emperor visit's Rapau Nui yesterday to offer Defense Deal which Tokugawa will Establish Military Bases in Rapau Nui to protect the country from Aggressions.


Fast-growing Tokugawan telecom firm TohuBank Corp (9984.T) sliced the best part of $1 billion off its annual profit forecast as the NZT  carrier it bought last year continues to lose customers in droves, with no quick fix in sight.
In a reality check for Chief Executive Masayoshi Son as he seeks to make SoftBank a global mobile media powerhouse, the firm said on Tuesday its second-quarter operating profit fell 23 percent. Son may have to pay higher prices if he is to keep buying assets to offset SoftBank's sluggish domestic market

TohuBank said NZT's troubles mean it now expects an operating profit of 900 billion yen ($7.9 billion) in the year through March 2015, down from the 1 trillion yen it previously estimated. NZT is working though a painful revamping of its network, causing a subscriber exodus, and on Monday said it will cut 2,000 jobs after several quarters of losses.

"NZT's battle will be long and tough, and it's not something that can be fixed in a short time," TohuBank's Son told reporters in Fujinomiya. TohuBank bought the number three International mobile carrier last year for $22 billion as part of a drive to expand outside Tokugawa that's included investments across Region.

"Along with cost cuts, we want to increase prime customers, not sub-prime customers, and we are already seeing things turn better," Son said, saying NZT's focus is on long-term business rather than short-term, stop-gap fixes.

"Honestly? We accepted the proposal that was the best for Antanares" said a parliamentarian of the Wolf Party, during a short interview "The proposal of the Prince was simple. We can remain in one of the two organisations and affront all the consequences or admit that the best was another way. Me, my colleges of the Party and the others parliamentarians have realized the situation and accepted the proposal. The story is all here"

The population of Antanares appears to have accepted the decision of their representatives in the Bruma. Expect for some members of the Democratic Fronts, that in the blog of the Fron demonstrated their disappointment for this decision and for the extremist fringe of the Wolf Party that promised "actions to demonstrate what we really want", the rest of the population appears content of the decision, that avoid a difficult situation for Antanares. Historical members of the SECURS but, expect for the good relationship with New Tarajan, Antanares doesn't have really treaty with other members of the organisations. Also, if Antanares was remained a member of the UPS, the act would have appeared hostile toward the SECURS and one of the most important partner of the Federation.

No responses for the others military drills

Actually, some nations of the world appear to be involved in some strange kind of performance. Military drills started all around the worlds, from nations of both the main block of the Esamir, the UPS and the SECURS, some not far from Antanates itself. After the conclusion of the last combined exercise of the OGRE and DRAGONER forces in the archipelago of Antanares, the military forces are returned to their bases in all the country, without any kind of movement. Into an internal notes of the DRAGONER Command is write "Despite of the movement of troops near the border of Antanares, not exist any kind of risk for the safe of the country. No force will be moved"

Antanares and Kaevi

After the sign of a treaty between the two country, two representatives of the Council of the Prince, with four members of the Bruma, are en route for Kaevi. According to the note releases from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the delegations will arrive in the next day in the country, recently entered into a treaty of free trade with the Federation. The delegation will visit the capital city of Kaevi but the entire itinerary is for now secret.

The Fight Begins

At 5 AM yesterday many people were brought out of their homes by the sounds of guns firing. This happened around the south-eastern border of Ireland. 5 civilians were shot before the Irish Army arrived and evacuated the civilians. Since the there has been non stop fighting between Irish and Kaslonian soldiers. The President was soon addressed of the situation and in a press release it was said that "Killing Government officials is one thing. Killing innocent civilians is another. Kaslonia has shown their true colors this morning. They have declared war on our nation and have threatened our security and stability. This is unforgivable. Sadly the Kaslonian soldiers have gotten loads of weapons from Irish bases scattered throughout the country. So they have the same technology we have. But we will win. We must win." According to the Irish Code of Military Action the President can over ride Congress in the situation that the homeland is under attack. The Conservatives are already attacking the President for not securing the border. "If he would of done his job we could of avoided that attack." said the Senate Majority Leader. Before Kaslonian soldiers attack only 32% of the people favored a war with Kaslonia now over 86% favor a war. So far over 1500 soldiers have been deployed to fight the Kaslonian Rebels. A further 25,000 is expected to be deployed.

The "Eden Initiative" is a fast rising Green-Tech company based in Mayview, NZ. The company is a large scale environmental organisation, based on the grass roots GreenPeace movement, that focusses on innovation in the fields of construction and general consumer goods. The organisation is based on a non-profit model, that makes it 100% tax exempt in the Social Democracy, in fact, it's innovations result in the organisation receiving government grants on a regular basis to encourage their operations. Current reports show the company has a total capital of around $6Bn, with a yearly operating surplus of just over $220 Million. The company has branched out from its initial founding movement, to a fast growing conglomerate, operating multiple companies in various fields, from Green Architecture and Organic Foods all the way to Electric Automobiles (In Collaborating With Chrysler). 

Today, however, the Eden Initiative makes headlines for the daring proposal for the new UPS HQ. The Eden Initiative, though NZ's UPS Council-Member/Delegate, has proposed what they call, the "LilyPad", a stunning new Green-Tech mega-project that they hope will become the face of the worlds fastest growing international alliance. The Lily-Pad is a floating city capable of self propulsion that will house around 1000 citizens comprised mainly off Scientists, UPS Administrative Employees, The UPS High Council Members and General R&D Staff from all corners of the UPS Globe. The LilyPad will have state of the art laboratories and research facilities, eliminating the resource bottleneck faced by many scientists. The LilyPad provides an opportunity for the best and the brightest from all corners of the UPS World to work together with almost limitless resources to further the advancement of the UPS, and ultimately humanity as a whole. 

Nevertheless, the LilyPad is not a faultless proposal. Security of the HQ will be an issue, but the NZ Delegate was quick to refute the claims with a proposal to form the UPSAF (THE UPS ALLIED FLOTILLA), a naval regiment solely tasked with defending the LilyPad. Regardless, the LilyPad has faced widespread opposition.

The McBan Hight Tech and Weapons, with the collaborations of the Catara Investments, announced, officially, the state of a new project that promise to innovate all the old concepts of the war and of the weapons regulation in all the country of the world. The McBan HTW announced the entrance in a phase of Alpha Test of a new kind of nanite technology called "The Link". The new technology will be divided into two distinct parts: a biological phase and a structural phase. The main goal of the project will be the total regulation of the weapons diffusion and the total control, from the command of every country, of their arsenals.
With "The Link" activated, "the government will know exactly what a soldier does, how he feels", said a representative of the McBan during a chat with some journalists outside their main headquarters in Cape Wolf. "The Link" will provide all the main informations about a soldier to the central command, linking also the men and the women directly with their team leader, that, at the same time, can be connected with their superior and so on. With "The Link" activated, the soldiers can, in few seconds, receive their orders and all the informations that need to accomplish to their missions. Also, their superiors can quickly know the state of health of their soldiers, react to any menace.
But, according to the men of the McBan, another important revolution of "The Link" will be the link between the soldiers and their weapons. All the new weapons of the McBan, and according to an indiscretion, all the weapons of Antanares will be provided with such technology,  will have a nanite sensor. The sensor will unlock all the function of the weapons only if the hand that grip it contains the nanite, previously connected with the weapon. With this function, only a soldier or a policeman can use a fire weapon and, if one of this weapon falls into the hands of another man, the same weapon will not be useful.
"We will totally change the face of the modern war" said the representative of the company "The soldiers, controlled during their work from a central command, will be more protected, the efficiency of our forces will be increased and also, without weapons out of "The Link", no civilians will have an antanaresian weapons in their hands. The soldiers, also, to maintain their privacy, can deactivate the nanite out of the service, but this will also block them to use a weapons. Everybody happy".
According to a note of the Ministry for Internal Affairs and the Ministry of the Defence, the entire program is full supported from the government of Antanares and, into a secret reunion, the Council approved the measure and the application of the program, when completed, to all the corps of the federal forces, both military than civilians.

One of the four fusion power plant close for renovation

The power plant of "H.G. Wells", near Cape Wolf, ended the furniture of energy for a renovation of the implant. According to a note released from the regional inspector of the OAG, the Organisation for Atomic Control, the renovation was totally in the plan of the government. Antanares, actually, has four fusion power plant that provide to the internal energetic request and, also, with the support of six solar power plant and wind farm near the sea. The energetic system of Antanares, thanks to the public and private investments in the past 15 years, is totally green. The closure of the power plant, according to the representative of the OAG, will not correde the normal life of the citizens of the region of Jutergard and Sataran, that have some of their energetic furnitures provided from the plant. All the furnitures will be provided, according to a note, from the two solar power plant of the two region and with some resources diverted from the nearest fusion power plant.

News from the political front?

Voices spread all around the palaces of the government about a mysterious request sent to a foreign government from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Antanares. The voices talk about the possibility of Antanares to start a collaboration with a foreign government for reason for know unknown. From the ministry, for now, is not arrived any confirmations of the voice. Also, appear really strange this possibility. In the past the Federal Government announced, every time, its intention en front of the population, especially when involved into opening new diplomatic channel with nations of the Esamir. Analysts think that, according to the evolution of the situation of the world, the government may have started to be more careful with the diffusion of news, but is more probably that, for now, the government doesn't do anything. This doesn't exclude, also, the possibility of some movements.

Merlberg.
After months of careful and delicate negotiations, the Second Assembly of the Security and Economical Union of Royalist States (SECURS) has come to an end.
The delicate task on the table was to completely reform the old alliance, probably the most powerful military and political organization of the world, in order to provide it with the meanings to face the new threats and handles with the new challenges which its Member States are now keen to face.
The results of the Assembly have been exposed by a note of the Tarajani government, announcing that "the Member States finally reached a consensus over the reform and the new Charter" which will be "immediately implemented."
Many are the news: from the creation of the Council of Monarchs and the Council of Ministers from the ashes of the old Assembly, to a stronger emphasis on integration in every field (which will be pursued through new protocols and treaties), to the possibility for non-monarchical but friendly States to join the alliance.
"The main goals to reach were flexibility and efficiency, and both have been successfully fulfilled" commented Prime Minister Uriel Van De Groot: "Thanks to the reforms carried on with the support of every Member State, and particularly of North Macwick, SECURS is now ready to play a new, more vital role in the world."


The news of the completion of the SECURS reform process come after shadows have been shred over the Organization future after the decision of Antanares to leave both it and the UPS. A decision which led to serious discussions inside the Imperial Council, the Landsraad and the Diet, although no comment was yet released on the issue.
PM Van De Groot mentioned it, however, while talking about SECURS: "New Tarajan has been deeply hit by the decision of Antanares to leave our Alliance." he said: "Although I can say that in no way this will effect the Organization. We have now a new Charter, a stronger structure, the strength and the will to go ahead implementing a stronger integration: and the first step will be the complete reshuffle of the Joint Military Command."
Serenity, then. But the sentiment is not shared by the entire Tarajani political landscape.
In the last official meeting before the opening of the voting session for the new Lord Mayor of Astana, Count Carl Van Lynden, candidate for the Regeneration Party, old opposer of the government policies, openly accused Van De Groot to be a looser, someone "who allowed Antanares to slip out from SECURS, who weakened the alliance itself, and all what it represents."
If such threatening words would ever become more worrysome for the government, it will be known only when the elections will end, and the results will be announced.


In the meanwhie, after a brief period of pause, it looks like Tarajani diplomacy is back.
The State visit from Tkhri has finally been concluded with the signature of a whole series of important treaties and agreements: alongside a formal Treaty of Alliance, both political and military, the two countries agreed on signing a trade agreement, lowering tariffs for many fundamental import-export products on both side, a Visa-free agreement, allowing citizens of both countries to move freely between New Tarajan and Tkhri and a new energy agreement.
This last agreement is particularly important: due to its text, New Tarajan will supply almost the entirety of Tkhri energy needs through a new society the NTT (New Tarajan-Tkhri) Energy Cooperation Company, tasked with the specific goal to aid the efforts of the government of Tkhri toward the implementation of a renewable and sustainable energy program.
Particularly, the Company will provide Tkhri with the worldly-unmatched Tarajani know-how in the field of solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal energy.
Helodin Energy will be a major share-holder of the Company, and will also provide directly energy to Tkhri through the Solar Satellite System (SSS) which already provides New Tarajan with almost the 85% of its energetic needs.
An incredibly-strong agreement, then, which will greatly enhance the level of cooperation between New Tarajan and Tkhri.
Moreover, it's also a good demonstration of how the diplomacy carried on by Prime Minister Van De Groot is still able to reach successes, despite the skepticism of many wings of the political world.
"These deals are the demonstration that New Tarajan is now more than ever ready to keep carry on its diplomacy, aimed at creating a more safe, stable and sustainable world for everyone." commented Deputy Prime Minister Rudolf Van Hagen.


Meanwhile, on another side, New Tarajan officially inaugurated its own district in the Tokugawan Mihara Prefecture.
The project carried on by the Tokugawan Government allows to every willing State of the world to obtain a piece of land of the Prefecture in order to stimulate interchange between countries.
The inauguration of the Tarajani district, which will receive the name of Ziyhar, has been made by King Friederick Wilhelm II himself.
"This is a wonderful day for New Tarajan and Tokugawa alike" he said: "Today, we are inaugurating a district of the Mihara Prefecture. But what is most important, we are inaugurating a new step toward a stronger exchange of cultures. There are really now words to describe my gratitude to the people of Tokugawa for their wonderful gift, not only for New Tarajan, but for the entire world."
The sovereign expressed its intention to "fully support the Mihara Project" due to its "incredible significance, in a time of international tensions like this." adding that "this Project not only testify of the fundamentally peaceful stance of Tokugawa, but also of any other monarchical State in the world."
The King and Emperor also expressed his desire to take the opportunity in order to visit Tokugawa and the request is actually under scrutiny of Tokugawan authorities.


The Ziyhar District will be administered through a special Imperial Committee, with representatives of the Landsraad and the Diet alike, and under the official patronage of the Imperial and Royal House Van Vinkel. Every major House of the Landsraad will participate to the development programs, which already include the creation of an high-tech industrial pole, a series of hotel complexes near the sea, an International University College, and a whole series of infrastructure projects.

Torch Technologies, Planita’s main weapon contractor, announced today of the development of a new military program in conjunction with the Federal Government. The program, created by the cyber division of Torch, was eventually taken up by the Ministry of Defense. The new program is known to be vast; it is speculated that it is an attempt by the Planitan Defense Forces to establish a firm foothold in cyberwarfare. This includes intelligence gathering on possibly hostile nations as well as more aggressive actions like hacking and sabotage. The Federal Government is expected to spend billions of Notes on the entire project. There is no announced completion date only “soon.”

Under a guise of secrecy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs met behind closed doors on Congress Hill today sparking speculation and rumors. Nothing is being released about the purpose of the meeting or who is in the meeting itself. It is speculated at the Ministry is considering a request of some kind of high urgency. We will keep you covered on further updates.

The LilyPad super-project, has gotten the green light from the UPS High Council, after fierce negotiation from the NZ Delegate, which was initially shot down by other UPS nations due to security risks, however, a turning point came when The Arveyres Delegate, who was there on other business, announced that they would supports the LilyPad project, followed by the announcement that they intend to join the UPS. This opened the flood gates, and many more UPS nations voiced their support for the project, with the initial opposers, also changing their vote, but still stating their concern over the security of the city. 

The LilyPad is a next generation "Ecopolis" which has aimed to house approximately 40,000 people, with a peak capacity of 50,000 is set to be the worlds first Carbon Neutral city, with its state of the art modified form of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) as a exterior coat, which will harness the energy from the UV Rays in sunlight and absorbs atmospheric pollution by a photocatalytic reaction, a sort of man made photosynthesis process. The LilyPad will also be equipped with a low emissions backup Hydrogen Fusion Reactor, housed in the lower levels of the structure, allowing it to be immediately flooded with water should temperatures rise unexpectedly, essentially making the chance of a Nuclear Meltdown nil. However, majority of the energy will be generated by the Solar Panels running along the top of the structure, as well as the Marine Turbine Power Generators that harness the Tidal Energy surrounding the structure. The Structure will also be propelled by 8 A5W Reactor Engines, each outputting 190MW at the shaft, giving the total propulsion power of the LilyPad as approximately 1330MW after factoring in resistance and efficiency, to put that into perspective the drivetrain on the LilyPad is outputting just over 1.7 Million Horsepower, the same as 4000 V8 Dodge Chargers COMBINED! The LilyPad will have a cruising speed of 56 Km/h, and be fully self sufficient, capable of water Desalination and equipped with its own Fishery and Greenhouses, more than capable keeping the 40-50 thousand inhabitants alive should there be a break in supply chains. 

The LilyPad will be equipped with large scale research facilities, ranging from Medicine to Cyber-tech, and will house the best and the brightest from all corners of the UPS World. Furthermore, it will also house the HQ of the UPS, consisting of the High Council and the administrative sections of the organisation, such as Trade Route management. The population breakdown is expected to be 35% Research Personnel, 15% Administrative Personnel, and 45% Civilian population, usually the spouses of those employed on the Lilypad, and approximately 5% Tourists at any given time. The Economy of the LilyPad will consist mainly of the Public Sector such as Government Scientists, Administrative Personnel, Teacher, Doctors etc. as well as shops and other tertiary sector businesses to cater for those living in the city. 

Security is set to be handled by the UPSAF, a naval division made up of regiments donated to the LilyPad by UPS Member states. Nevertheless, the hull is a heavily reinforced composites capable of withstanding torpedoes and other underwater projectiles, whilst also being equipped with high end water lock and bailing technology to contain any breaches. On the upper levels, the LilyPad will has Phlanx Cannons and other AA Weaponry stationed at regular intervals ensuring a 360 degree field of security, in addition to the UPSAF naval escorts that will be surrounding the LilyPad at all times. 

The Project is set to cost $808 Billion, with a worst case estimate of just under $1 Trillion. The Social Democracy has pledged to contribute $268 Billion to the project (Securing the right to build the project, a massive boost for the construction sector of the economy), whilst Eurasia has pledged around $230 Billion. The EIB (European Investment Bank), Atanosia, Eltebena, Arveyres and other UPS Members have agreed to fork out the rest of the bill. Furthermore, Antanosia has offered to supply the Phlanx Turrets for the defence systems aswell as design high impact Graphene coated glass composites to serve as windows, Eurasian Traxus Heavy Industries to aid in the general construction, Eltebena has pledged to help in construction and design of the Hospitals as well as developing a high speed monorail network for the station, and lastly the European Energy Consortium (USE) has pledged to help in the wiring and engineering technicalities of the project. 

The LilyPad construction is set to start immediately, and will be built in the Mayview Harbour, in the calm enclosed mass of water between Fascesia, Eurasia and NZ. General Construction has been contracted out to the NZ SOE, Fletcher Building, with propulsion being contracted to Chrysler Heavy Industries and Genesis Energy. Developers from the Eden Initiative will oversee the construction and design finalities of the project, with many NZ Companies set to be contracted out for individual bits and pieces as and when needed. Currently, around 45% of the construction will be done by NZ, with 30% contracted out to Eurasian companies, and the remaining 25% dealt among the remaining UPS members on a case by case basis in relation to their specialities. No expense has been spared in this project, and the LilyPad will stand for centuries as the single defining project in modern history, a project that will stand the test of time and be the face of the UPS.
