I concur with the statements previous to mine. A game moderator is a critical aspect that has often been neglected. If we collectively decided to respect a responsible and reasonable game moderator, we would have a much more fun game experience because so much depends upon that in order for the elections to be truly meaningful.


Anyway, great job Dkrolga. Smiley

SWE, TNF Captured - Communist Crisis Over

In a turn of good news for a reeling nation, the Communist Rebellion and Crisis has finally come to a close. Early this morning the Northeast National Guard - acting on orders from Acting Governor Pikachu - conducted a raid on former Senator SomeoneWhoExists' home. SWE was in the home at the time and was taken in to custody by the National Guard. No one was injured in the raid. Charges from the Northeast Government are expected to be forthcoming.

This lead the Atlasian Army to step up their operations within the Midwest in their hunt for TNF. Only hours after senior commanders were informed of SWE's capture in the Northeast, an elite squad infiltrated TNF's compound and conduct a thorough sweep, finding the Communist leader in his bedroom. He was immediately arrested and transported, via helicopter, to an undisclosed location. During this raid one soldier was injured by one of TNF's bodyguards but his wounds are not serious and he is expected to recover.
I can confirm that none of this happened. Don't believe everything the media tells you.

SoEA Kalwejt Dispatches Special Envoys

Secretary of External Affairs Kalwejt today announced that he has dispatched nearly a dozen special envoys to Atlastia's key allies over the recent Communist Rebellion. Those nations that envoys were sent to include the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, Israel, Russia, India, China, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. The envoys were tasked with briefing the leaders of those powers on the Crisis, the response to it, and the future of Atlasia going forward.  All nations were supportive and relieved to hear that the Crisis had been put down relatively bloodlessly and that Atlasia was functioning as normal. Commentators are hailing Kalwejt, who took office in the middle of the Communist Crisis, as "the new face of Atlasia" and the most prominent representative of President Bore's administration.

France Elects New President

Nearly three months after Francois Hollande died, the people of France have elected a new President. Gérard Larcher (LR) has served as Acting President since Hollande was gunned down by a political extremist. The first round was a very crowded field, as most French elections are, with both Martine Aubrey (Mayor of Lille) and Manuel Valls (Prime Minister) running for the Socialists, Larcher running for the Republicans, Marine Le Pen (MEP) running for National Front, and Jean-Christophe Lagarde (MP, Mayor of Drancey) running for the Union of Democrats and Independents. Former President Nicholas Sarkozy was widely expected to run, but chose to sit it out following his 2014 corruption charges. Valls and Larcher advanced to the second round run-off election, held two weeks later. After all the voters were counted, Acting President Gérard Larcher was elected to a full five year term with 52% of the voter, compared to the 48% won by Manuel Valls.

Confederacy Damages Assessed

An independent committee, which has been researching the effects of the Confederate Rebellion that gripped several states a few months ago, has released their report. The committee interviewed local businesses, regional authorities, economists, and historians when compiling their report. Speaking at a press conference in Charleston, West Virginia, Mideast, Chairman of the Committee on the Impacts of the Confederate Rebellion Jack Daniels said "There is no cause, based on our research, for long-lasting economic depression or infrastructure damage caused by the rebellion. All issues can be corrected in the short term". The Committee's reports cites only minor damage caused by the Rebellion to infrastructure - several railway lines were damaged and a bridge was partially destroyed when the Confederates were making their final stand. Daniels estimated the costs of repair for all damages from the Rebellion at $34.5 million, adding "This is a very liberal estimate".

Breaking: India Advances Over Border

Using satellite imaginary, sources within the Atlasian Army have confirmed to The Atlasian Republican that Indian forces have advanced across their border with Pakistan in the Sahiwal Division of the Islamic nation. For the last several days nearly 20,000 Indian soldiers were seen massing along the border, and early this evening (EDT) the order was given to advance. The Pakistanis were not caught off guard, as they too saw the Indians organizing, and have mounted a resistance against the two Divisions of the Indian Army. Both countries are nuclear powers.

Breaking: Assassination Attempt Foiled

The Atlasian Republican can now confirm that a wider conspiracy against Atlasia is underway. A pair of men were apprehended by local officers, carrying several loaded guns and several hundred dollars in cash. Upon interrogation, the two men told police they were out to assassinate Senate Speaker Cris. A preliminary police investigation has found that both men were members of Reality or Nothing.

Stay tuned to The Atlasian Republican for more in this rapidly developing story.

As Secretary of External Affairs, I'm responsible for the nation's defense as well (the DoEA being like the RL Departments of State and the Pentagon combined). Therefore, we are monitoring the situation very closely and we are ready to provide directives for selected units of our armed forces to support the law enforcement if necessary (the lack of person running the Justice and Internal Affairs Departments is worrying more than ever).

Breaking: Third Bomb Attack in Nyman, Second Assassination Foiled

The Atlasian Republican can now confirm that another bomb detonated within Nyman today. The third bomb exploded in the front lobby of the Labor Party Headquarters. The building had been evacuated by local police, however there were several officers inside of the building when the bomb went off. 7 police officers from Nyman were killed in the blast, and 21 more were injured and are currently receiving care.

A group of three men were taken in to custody by military police, acting under orders of Secretary of External Affairs Kalwejt, shortly after the Labor Part Bombing. Interrogation determined that the men were out to assassinate another Senator - NC Yankee. An officer, speaking anonymously, told The Atlasian Republican that a "hit list" was found on one of the suspects. Included on the list were the bombings of the Department of External Affairs, Attorney General's Office, and the Labor Party Headquarters, as well as the names of Senators Cris, NC Yankee, and former President DemPGH. All three have received increased personal security details.

Speaking at a press conference at the Police Department's headquarters, Chief of Police Kris Carter said "We are now almost certain that all three bombing attacks and the attempt at Senate Speaker Cris' life were perpetrated by the same group. Current signs indicate that the group Reality or Nothing and former Attorney General Al Sibboleth are the leaders and co-ordinators of the attacks, but we do not want to make a firm I.D. until the situation is under control. Our goal at this time is ensuring the safety of Nyman." Former Attorney General Al Sibboleth is currently in South America.

Breaking: Atlasian Republican Publishes Document of 8/5/15 Attacks

DKrol, Editor-in-Chief of The Atlasian Republican, has made the executive decision to release a document, sent to The Atlasian Republican by former Attorney General Al Sibboleth, with respect to the attacks that have rocked Nyman and the nation over the last twelve hours. DKrol feels that he has "a moral and ethical obligation" to make the document public.

...

1. I am, of course, in South America.

2. The Reality Or Nothing organisation (the entire leadership of which also happens to be in South America now) has decided to commit the following necessary actions:

a) attempt on the life of Senator NC Yankee
b) attempt on the life of former President DemPGH
c) attempt on the life of Senator Cris
d) bomb attacks on three sites in Nyman DC: the Attorney General's Office, the State Department and the headquarters of the Labor Party.

Have fun.

Update: India Makes Gains in Pakistan, Spurs Tribal Leaders

Days after beginning their advance into Pakistan, the Indian army has made large territorial gains. Today, sources confirmed that the city of Lahore, the cultural heart of Pakistan and the capital of the Punjab province, fell to Indian forces. Indian Prime Minister Narendra issued a press release today, calling the fall of Lahore "a new page in the saga of Hindu nationalism". The Pakistani response to the invasion has been weak, as tribal leaders in the western portion of the nation have begun to stir trouble as well for the nation. Reports indicate that another division of the Indian Army is preparing to launch in to southern Pakistan, into the Hindu-dominated Sindh Province.

The lack of a response from the Atlasian Government is causing international concern, as the United Nations, NATO, and key allies are waiting on the Bore Administration to give direction and leadership.

Update: India Agrees to Temporary Ceasefire

Following Secretary of External Affairs Kalwejt's appointment of special envoys to both New Delhi and Islamabad, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced a temporary ceasefire along the current lines. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also agreed to the terms. Both nations' leaders have dispatched negotiators and mediators to Vienna to attempt to hash out a plan to peace. Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told The Atlasian Republican that "the public silence" from Atlasian leaders led her team to chose Austria as the site of the negotiations, adding "I do not believe that Atlasia cares about what is happening any long."

Secretary Swaraj's comments are certainly understandable, as due to some past negligences, as well as internal situation which is consuming most of Atlasia's efforts, it wouldn't be possible to avoid an impression that we're no longer as interested in world affairs as we should be. I'd like to address these feelings by restating my commitment to remaining an active and engaged member of the international community.

As of the "public silence", I can't speak for other institutions, but the Department of External Affairs choose not to publically take sides (which would be inevitable) in order to be able to help facilitate ceasefire and we're very happy with Prime Minister Modi's announcement, as well as choice of Vienna. Austria is a neutral nation and is better suited to host such negotiations than any power.

We need to restore confidence in Atlasia's commitment on the world stage.

Puerto Santos In New Hands

After Field Marshal Hermenegildo Jose Luis Alvaro Marco Rubio y Arshloch led a coup in the small, oil-rich nation of Puerto Santos, the country was on the edge of crippling Atlasia's oil supply. Rubio y Arshloch, however, turned his attention to internal affairs and the suppression of dissenters. Today, he was assassinated by his #2, General Alfonse Leon Doran-Cordero, who promptly assumed control himself. General Doran-Cordero, titling himself President, declared Atlasia "the greatest threat to Puerto Santian independence since the Conquistadors!" Reports indicate that he is preparing to officially end the exportation of Puerto Santian oil to Atlasia in coming days, unless action is taken.
