Abumwe Sanctanova calls for PeaceSHARE THIS: Xovland | 1.18.16 Abumwe Sanctanova In a press conference earlier today, Abumwe Sanctanova called for an international summit to relieve building tension and negotiate peace. Abumwe Sanctanova and her staff remained conspicuously silent on the international tensions since the sanctions were announced, but many think Mstislav's recent armament forced her hand. Some think that this might just be a stunt to improve her abysmal 17% approval rate before the rapidly-approaching elections. Many Xovlandians have expressed dismay at hearing of the peace talks with Savalen, citing the fact that in early June 15,000 Raloganian refugees took refuge in Savalen to escape the short-lived 2nd Raloganian civil war, and many were mowed down when crossing the border by a local religious extremist group. Savalen law enforcement didn't respond to the reports for hours, some within the agency stating that priority was given to rescuing a cat in a tree. When law enforcement finally arrived, all of the extremists had left the scene and were not identified, and more than 4,500 refugees were killed. Abumwe Sanctanova said in a response statement that "Savalen has already been punished with economic sanctions, we don't need to punish them with war."

Kortat Sciences has made amazing scientific discoveries and are capable discovering much more. I would like to announce our alliance by performing this simple and kind gesture. Do you agree? Msti Lines SHARE THIS (1.19)
We have changed the name of our paper, and the layout slightly. Politics: Kortat has asked for a research alliance, and Mstislav kindly accepted. Mstislav boldly attempts to talk to Xovland about Sellanis. The government wants to speak about Sellanis and the Xovland-Mstislav relationship. Surveillance showed they have their missles in silos, or in storage. Mstislav has also made the interest in military and way of life improvement technology very apparent. Economics: Many families don't have to worry about crimes with the required military training in place. Once sent home, the trained people being their rifles home. "It's great, we don't have to pay for the expensive weapons," said young Ivan, holding his weapon. "This is a main reason why people don't like to commit crimes." Most family members have their own weapon. Even if someone wanted to commit a crime, progressive funding in welfare and education has mostly downed that idea. No major national happenings in sports today.

Politics: Kortat hopes Mistislav can lower tensions with Xovland my long time ally. Kortat begins scientific research with Mstislav. Sports: Kortatian soccer team defeats Great Calistan 1-0
Kortat also begins the construction of a new time of transport truck. It can hold 12 men and has a door at the back. At the door there is two machine guns with a opening to fire. At the best part? We plan on having multi-rocket launchers at the top so when we drop men we can clear the area. Or even fire it at a definite enemy position. Let's get to work!

Msti Lines SHARE THIS (1.20.15) Politics: The Minister of Foregin Affairs landed in Xovland this morning, and has scheduled a diplomatic meeting. With the recent alliance with Kortat, Mstislav unveiled the new aircraft "Calamity". It is a large gunship with the ability to drop paratroopers on the battlefield. See the country dispatch for details. President Rusya was intrigued by the idea of the transport vehicle. It is possible Mstislav might follow the same idea. It has been revealed that many of Mstislav's newspapers are deep in red ink. "There is no real problem here," says noted economist Virginia de Vries. "If newspapers are no longer selling, they shouldn't exist in a free market economy; let capitalism take its course. Who cares if a few newspapers go under? Besides, it's probably good for the digital industry?" "Why bother subsidising when we can go all out and take back control of the media!" muses one of Mstislav's advisors. "Newspapers are full of sensationalised, makey-uppy events designed to sell more papers and they ignore what really matters - like what we, the Government are doing for the people! As a bonus, there'd be no need for newspapers and stations to compete with each other, and job losses would be at a minimum, so everyone'll be happy." The Mstislav goverment has decided to allow the newpaper to take it's course, for the economy and right of the people. Economics: Mstislav intelligence reports on a possible collapse of Acluna. Minister of Welfare, Vyacheslavovich Khanilov, says that "if Acluna doesn't take major action, it could fall into major poverty". Mstislav suggests for Acluna to export more arms.

Press Conference of the Imperial Foreign Office
Press Room of the Ministry's Headquarters, City of Redport, Imperial Territory of the Carlistinian Isles.
Foreign Affairs Minister van Hootje gave his notes a quick glance before returning his gaze onto the Imperial and foreign journalists from different news agencies of the world. He had dreaded this moment from the point in time that Xovland first condemned the Selani government. Now, standing infront of two flags displaying the Imperial banner, he took a deep breath before starting to give his most important public statement of 2016.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Imperator providit" he snapped his heels. "From the start of this year, the Empire has been following a path of peace and prosperity, international aid in Eclixia and the building of a new national community. The times of military modernisation which overclouded 2015 seemed over and we were ready to reach new, diplomatic milestones with renewed relations between the Imperial protectorate of Jonistavia and first successful diplomatic contact with the people of Savalen, Bodensee, Monahtan.
Our glorious nation rejoiced at these new relations, even if our bond with Monahtan is still being tested as anti-government forces move against them.
Now however, a true threat has arisen to not only national, but international security. After unwarranted accusasions of genocide were made public, tensions in the region rose, only escalated by unfounded accusasions against the Bodensee police forces by the government of Xovland. The Xovlandian government, a meagre representation of their people has brought conflict into our region and, backed by other states would wish a war upon our people.
The Imperial government does not acknowledge the existance of a so-called "Raloganian genocide", since there has been no statement by Ralogania or substantial evidence to confirm it and therefore rejects the idea of a state's involvement in Sellani affairs or the surveillance of Sellani territories. The warmongering of our region are to stand down immediately. Imperial people will not tolerate those who would reach "the conclusion that war international conflict is inevitable" and reminds all to retain cool heads. As of yet, there is no substantial casus belli for any nation which has been so kind as to send their threats to the international community and any act of aggression will be responded to in a manner to reflect that.
The Xovlandian leaders have seen our problem, calling for an international summit but how have they acted now? They have allied with the military of Alexander of Hermann working with the phrase, as I will repeat, that they have come to "the conclusion that war international conflict is inevitable". This is a slap in the face for all peace loving peoples of the world, it is a show of the hypocrisy which has wormed its way into our world!
Imperial territories will not be granting the international warmongers a target. The First Imperial Fleet has been mobilised in the Petja-Carbov-Chanel to protect our island and continental possessions, in addition to trade routes. We hereby call upon all Imperial citizens to refrain from voyages to Sellanis, Ralogania, Xovland and Mstislav for their own safety. All those who would wish death and destruction upon our glorious Empire should know that we too can control the winds, the Empire carries a hurricane inside which will bear down on those who would dare to try us and sweep away their pride for good. Through bad times and worse, ever retaining the wish for peace, the Empire of Great Carlistan shall prevail!
Imperator defendit, Imperator providit. Imperator vivat!"

Press Conference of the International Foreign Office of Alexander Hermann Press Room of the Ministry's Headquarters, Capital District of Alexander Hermann: " Der Hochste Haupstadt", "Imperial Territory of the German Territories". December 21, 2016 Subject: National Address General Secretary of the Communist party of Alexander Hermann approaches the steps to the Haupstadt's International Sportzplatz located within the capital district of the nation where a seething audience of 11 million people have converged and passionately await in order to here the so long awaited news of the abrupt initiation of the recent International conflict. He is a indisputable charismatic figure. He wears knee high and well polished tar black jack boots, and a long black professional military tunic as well as gray gloves and a black Schirmmutze. Now at the podium he silently gazes the crowd as the incessant cheering and clapping elaborates its reason, and victory salutes are struck as our leader clicks his heels, and slowly as if to be cautious, calmly returns them. He then speaks lowly: My fellow National Socialists the current times we are faced with are paramount, and many of us as citizens of this powerful military state are indeed concerned about the aforementioned allegations directed towards the nation of Sellanis gained from preceding disclosed documents, and as thus discussed with the National Defense Committee and Reichs Bundesministerium der Vertiginous-our defense ministry have decided to act , and do so decisively. At first not of this conflict first arose at the assertion mass genocide of the Raloganian peoples many of us were greatly appalled by such unconfirmed reports-and deeply disturbed. The " Supreme Council of the Social Nationalists of Alexander Hermann" wishes to offer the government of the Technocracy of Xovland a proposal of mutual camaraderie as allies in order to spearhead the deescalation of this already escalated act of terrorism . Moreover the opposing party's National Press- the " Welt Front" is expressively concerned themselves towards our nations war-producing, arms-manufacturing, and economical preparation capabilities. I would like to assure the entirety of our nation, and the world that our people will endure! That one day their insolent mouths will be shut, that within us marches Nationalism, before us marches Nationalism, and that by God after us will come Nationalism! . Until this point, any and all feasible acts of military and economic support of related natures against states hostile to Nationalist Socialist interests are by the Defense Council justified by this "so-called Raloganian genocide",and as such shall be considered unprovoked acts of aggression by the Defense Ministry, and the Supreme Party of the Communist National Socialists. We hereby state that any and all measures taken against the nation of the Technocracy of Xovland is ujustified, and demands justification for them, and that foreign troops be withdrawn immediately! Our beloved Leader then gives a firm salute as his final words are drowned in a ineffable wave of thunderous applause and cries of enthusiasm.

Office of Jannik van Hootje
Keizerlijke Betrekkingen (Imperial Foreign Office) Headquarters, City of Redport, Imperial Territory of the Carlistinian Isles
"God almighty, I have no idea what those people are trying to achieve", the Foreign Minister eyed the Mstislavian news report, disbelieving what he read. "A rebel move-... this is ridiculous!"
"I know, Minister, I have called the Keizerlijke Zaken Office and they were as shocked as us. Apparently, some idiot thought this up as some joke", a young diplomatic aide was standing at his desk, shaking her head.
"I doubt it. This could have sparked panic, let us thank the Emperor that such propaganda does not reach the ears of our citizens. I take it the Minister of the Interior is preparing a statement for the people? This shines a negative light on Imperial security forces and we appear weak."
"Yes, Minister. He has also asked us to give an international statement."
"I agree."
"Ah Minister, before I forget..." she turned around grinning half way out of the door: "they stated that we will unfortunately not be allowed to enter the regional hockey tournament because of our advice not to travel to Mstislav."
"No? Seriously? I am deeply hurt!" van Hootje could not help but laugh.
Press Conference of the Keizerlijke Zaken Office
Keizerlijke Zaken (Imperial Ministry of the Interior) Headquarters, City of Redport, Imperial Territory of the Carlistinian Isles
Matthijs, the Minister of the Interior, was about to go on international television, as a hastily prepared press conference was on the verge of starting out. He had been trying to figure out Mstislavian motivation but had failed terribly, getting a headache whenever he saw the short, but no less important article. Now, Imperial government bodies would start blowing their credibility to bits.
"Minister, this is it", his press secretary reminded him, "Imperator defendit!"
"Imperator vivat!" Matthijs Veenebrugge stepped out onto the prepared platform.
"Citizens of the Empire! Imperator vivat!" he started his speech. "Word has been spread by Mstislavian News Agency "Msti Lines", that some "rebel" organisation had been attacking ports and embassies around the Empire. Frankly, we do not know what they are referring to.
No infrastructure was damaged and no foreign embassies have ever been assaulted for as long as the Empire exists. All armed police and the Institutes for People's and State Security have assured us that nothing of the sort has happened on our territories. The fictional stories spread by the Mstislavians is a malicious try to destabilise the entire region and bring us ever closer to the brink of war but citizens, we will protect you, as is our Imperial mandate.
Despite these false reports, the Empire will not shut itself away. Ports and Airports remain open and our treaties with Bodensee and Monahtan will not be affected.
We urge Mstislavian journalists to at least try to do some research before they make this sort of thing public, it gives a very poor first impression.
The Empire will prevail! Imperator providit, Imperator defendit! Imperator vivat!"
Press Conference of the Keizerlijke Betrekkingen Office
Press Room of the Ministry's Headquarters, City of Redport, Imperial Territory of the Carlistinian Isles.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, citizens of the Empire!" a public relations representative of the Foreign Office was speaking.
"Thank you for coming on such short notice. We were deeply saddened by Mstislav's decision published in "Msti Lines" stating that the Empire will not be welcome at the Regional Hockey Tournament this year. We just wish that the government would be so bold as to tell us in a more official manner." He grinned into the cameras pointed at him and continued: "The Foreign Minister himself was swept away on a wave of sorrow at this tragic piece of information but has reaffirmed the Imperial recommendation- yes recommendation", he paused, "... to refrain from travelling to Mstislavian territories. In the name of Keizerlijke Betrekkingen, we can only applaud our Minister of Keizerlijke Zaken on his own statement and reaffirm it ourselves. Press of Mstislavia: if you wish to be taken seriously, do some research."
"Sir!" a journalist shouted: "why do you think that the Mstislavian government did not feel it was neccessary to give us the adequate respect in informing Imperial authorities directly?"
"A very good question. I am afraid I cannot answer that. Maybe it did not seem neccessary to them."
"Sir!" this time a young female journalist with a Jonistavian accent stepped forward: "Would you call the so-called news agency of Msti Lines a credible scource of information?"
"Due to us recieving a great number of articles based on speculation or complete phantasy, I personally would not."
"Sir" another journalist held up his microphone, while the Jonistavian turned around to the camera to add a no doubt sarcastic remark about the credibility of non-Imperial news companies, and took a step forward: "Alexander Hermann seems to be backing Xovland although the world now knows what lies their president has been spreading, does the Ministry have a comment?"
"Indeed." The young man looked into the cameras once again: "The government of Xovland has poisoned international relations with their lies, we hope that the people of Xovland and the normally rational party of Alexander Hermann see this and act accordingly."
