May, 314RE

Welcome readers to this edition of the So'Karsan Times. We'll be discussing about all the events occurring throughout the Republic, as well as discuss some of the upcoming candidates for the 315RE Elections! Filled with shocking twists and ever changing times read on and see the wonders of So'Karsa!!!!

Polical Corner
With the upcoming elections the five Main Political Parties have begun to rally behind their selected representatives for the Triumvirate election! In a shocking turn of events Commander General Arcturus Krovien has informed the populous in a recent televised speech that he will not seek a third term as Commander General, instead he will run for Prime Minister. When Questioned he had this to say. "I have always been more of a statesman than a warrior, I feel in these dangerous times a member if the So'Karsan Armed Forces should lead them. We as a nation have grown and changed, becoming a major player in the world as a whole. I am putting forth my candidacy for Prime Minister, under the Vigilance Party. I feel I could better serve So'Karsa as the Prime Minister then as the Commander General."

The political world is in a bit of chaos after this declaration, as it means the first true change in the Triumvirate since the national founding nearly ten years ago. The current Prime Minister is seeking her third term under the Freedom Party, and the Vice Minister is once again going to run for Prime Minister under the Independence Party. The two other runners are Reginald Orland, a Floren native who fought against Zanaro during the Imperial War six years ago, he is running under the Unity Party, and Osa I'Aral a native to the Desert regions and he is running under the Justice Party.

As for who will be running for the position of Commander General we have Commander Kameko Ina'ta running under the Vigilance Party, Admiral Tsukiko Irinawa running under the Freedom Party, Chief Admin Reginald Droveriss running under the Independence Party. Both the Unity Party, and the Justice Party have decided to abstain from having a runner for commander General this election cycle, stating they are going to focus on the Senatorial Elections as they have in the past.

Tourism Today

Are you looking for a getaway? Trying to escape the hardships of your less then free nation? Well worry not! So'Karsa is the ideal tourist destination! Between the multitude of Tropical islands, the Gambling, and some of the best waves in all of the Gulf there is plenty to do! Have you ever felt like deep sea scuba diving? Well now is the perfect time to! The wrecks of several Imperial Zanaro ships have just been opened up for professional divers! How about surfing? Well you can find some of the best surfing at the beautiful tropical island of Flores! Flores is also well known for the many casino's it now hosts thanks to the post-war boom! You can even visit the Golden city of Kitsuko! The city boasts some of the most advanced toys, gadgets, and technology within all of Caprecia!

Not interested in the big cities of Flores, then perhaps you should head up near the equator to the Dendellian Isles. They have some of the best fishing in the region, and thanks to the smaller population in the state you can enjoy renting a private bungalow for you and your sweetheart. The city of Port Paragon has a small town feel with all the amenities of a big city, perfect for those trying to just getaway. The islands also have many jungles on them and offer a taste of adventure to the tourist who wants to explore the ancient ruin cities that still hide in the deep parts of the jungle!

Perhaps though you want to explore the deep desert and enjoy a simpler life for your vacation? Go Dune Surfing, or even learn to ride a Roc? Well the city of Si'Rindral may be the ideal location to you! The city is filled with many adobe structures and offers a step back in time, without giving up the amenities you enjoy back home. the locals are known for their hospitality, and willingness to help strangers. The desert it a dangerous place though, so make sure to come prepared for your stay.

Autumber, 314RE

The elections for the Triumvirate as well as the senate is less then a month away and the entire nation is abuzz with the changes that are taking place. The election isn't the only thing that has people excited, the So'Karsan Knights may very well be included in the world cup, we hope to find out in the coming weeks to see exactly if they made it or not.

Political Corner

Earlier this month Prime Minister Candidate, and current commander General, Prince Arcturus Krovien announced in a press release that he will be supporting Commander Kameko Ina'ta for the position of Commander General, with this support it is expected her numbers will skyrocket in the election, and this unknown may well become the next Commnder General.

We are happy to present to you the current poll tally for the 314RE election cycle, it is an exciting time for everyone involved in the political sphere.

Prime Minsiter/Vice Minister

While these are polls were taken earlier this week it is still anyone's race as all runners are pushing with all their might to get the votes in their favor. The race for Commander General is especially close as the military is almost entirely divided among their branches runner, at least that was the thought until Commander General Arcturus voiced his support for Commander Kameko. Good luck to all those involved and we hope to see this be a fantastic year for So'Karsa!!!

The elections have ended, and the transition into the new government for So'Karsa has begun. Not only have the governmental races finished, so to has the National Roc Race.

Political Center

With the Elections having come to their climactic end the nation watcxhed and waited for the new So'Karsan government to be instated in the Turnover Ceremony.

Prime Minister Kumiko Siowa (Freedom Party) passed on the scepter of the Ministry to Vice Minister Mariko Hirewa (Independence Party), thus Kumiko was relieved of her position of Prime Minister and Mariko immediately filled the role.

In a similar Ceremony Mariko Hirewa passed the chalice of the Ministry to Prince Arcturus Mal Drovell Kroviun of Zanaro (Vigilance Party). Upon accepting the chalice he became the Vice Minister and was no longer the Commander General of the So'Karsan Armed Forces.

The final ceremony of the three Prince Arcturus passed The Sword of the Republic to Commander Kameko Ina'ta (Vigilance Party) who upon receiving it became the Commander General of So'Karsa. Command of Fort Ia'Trin was passed to Sub-Commander Veriss, who she immediately promoted to the position of Commander for his years of excellent service to the Republic.

The three members of the Triumvirate bowed before the crowd who were giving a thunderous applause of approval. This is the first time in So'Karsan history that a single party has achieved so much power. the Vigilance Party is expected to begin making changes it feels are necessary for the betterment of the Republic. Other state that this is in fact an opportunity for Prince Arcturus to solidify his position for the next election. whatever will come of this election it is widely supported by the people.

December 315RE

With the advent of the new Eternity class space craft, and the chaos begining to show in the northern nation of Ardorra what will the future hold for So'Karsa. Find out in this months issue of The So'Karsan Times!

Political Corner

In this last year the northern provinces of Ardorra have begun to show sign of tension with the south. A movement known as the Neo Grim is demanding that the current Ardorran government step down and allow for 'the will of the people' to take control of the nation.

What exactly are these Neo Grim revolutionaries supporting and how could it effect So'Karsa. Well we sent an investigator into the northern city of Ur'Nerix, a stronghold for the Neo Grim movement and he had this to say.

Quote:
 
The Neo Grim Movement believes in the ideals of Communism, and the removal of all vestiges of Nobility, and Democracy, replacing them instead with a Military leadership system. How did they gain so many followers should be of real concern.


There it is, the Neo Grim is an organization dedicated to the destruction of Democracy and Capitalism, tow important pillars of the growing So'Karsan economy.

In other news an organization here in So'Karsa continues to grow in strength. They are known as the Imperial Movement, they once started as a few Zanarite refugees who had sworn fielty to Prince Arcturus as the rightful Emperor of Zanaro and it has since blossomed into a whole new idealistic system.

The Imperial Movement believes that the So'Karsan Kroviun family should rule So'Karsa as the Imperial Family with 'Emperor' Arcturus leading then nation as a whole. It was this movement that convinced the Senate to have a statue of Arcturus constructed in the government quarter. There is even talk of a new amendment in the works to do exactly what the Imperial movement wants. Arcturus had no comment regarding these recent events.

Technology Center

In early November the I.S.T.A. succeeded in its first launch of a spacecraft into space. The I.S.S. Eternity traveled three times around Oracia before returning to So'Karsa for inspection. All systems checked out and the mission was deemed a success.

The I.S.T.A. has since opened it's doors to new members and it is believed that this new growth could actually aid in the further development of So'Karsa's Economy.

May 316RE

Political Center

Major changes are occurring within the So'Karsan government as recently the Imperial Amendment has been passed by the So'Karsan Senate and passed at 2/3rds of the Triumvirate.

With this Amendment having come into fruition it will mean the end of the Vice-Minister position and the creation of the position of Emperor/Empress of So'Karsa. It will also be granting additional rights to colonies and protected states. What will this mean for the long term? Will So'Karsa thrive under a Imperial Republic? Only time will tell.

News from Across the Republic


Dendellian
New Zanaro City holds a massive festival in honor of the new Emperor of So'Karsa! The city has long been a holdout for Zanarite refugees and many Imperialists who sought to bring the Imperial Republic back, even if it was in a new land. New Zanaro City is a growing city on the island Kao'Ri in the Dendellian Territory. The city is known for its overall disconnect from the territories politics and for being almost entirely self sufficient. It is also the only city in all of So'Karsa that holds to the ideals of the Zanarite political structure. There are several noble houses that have been 'formed' in the city that rule the nation through a council of Lords, beneath the is representative council. These two councils work together to pass laws which are either signed in or vetoed by the Lord Mayor, a position that is hereditary.

While many people throughout So'Karsa may be shocked and even appalled by the government that rules over the city the people there are genuinely happy. If anyone wishes to leave they are allowed to and even given a stipend for there land. The city itself is built in traditional Zanarite fashion and their are many devoted followers of the Soriven faith throughout the city. The island itself is mostly jungle with only a few native villages. The villages here do come under the 'rule' on New Zanaro city which is recognized as the islands capital, but there seems to be no issues on the island itself.

Kai
The city of New Banaro has seen a recent influx of refugees from Ardorra as the conflict between the Royalists and Communists heats up. In a recent interview it was discovered that lines have begun to be drawn in the sand separating the nation into two. The New Banaro residents have actually been thankful for the population boom, as the city has been in dire need of new employees. Many of the people of the city work in the nearby Chapshire base of Jazz Station. It's led to quite a mix of'cultures' as it were, as well as some minor tensions as it is well known that Chapshire is a Socialist nation.

Ki'Tal
The capital city earlier this month celebrated the crowning of Emperor Arcturus Mal Drovell Kroviun, and the confirmation of Crown Princess Rose Sylvia Kroviun. The festival was of enormous size, even though many times the Emperor stated it should be kept small so as to limit the price it would cost of the nations revenue. The Senate though decided to ignore the Emperors wishes and spent nearly 500,000,000 credits on the whole event. Emperor Arcturus still resides in Kroviun manor, even though there is a growing request for the Imperial family to move into Castle Ki'Tal. The population as a whole seems to be very excited about the crowning of the Imperial Family and its own inclusion in the growing number of Monarchy states.

News From the Capital

The International City of Kitsuko has long been asking for Sovereignty from So'Karsa, as well as to have a voice in its own governance. Today the Senate voted on the Protectoration of Kitsuke, a major piece of legislation that would separate Kitsuko from Flores, and make it a Protectorate of So'Karsa. Doing so would give it basic Sovereignty, as well as a voice in the Senate of So'Karsa. The delegates from Flores fought long and hard for the passing of the bill, meanwhile the representatives from Si'Krivv felt it was wrong to give a city more freedom then a state. The arguments went on for several hours before Anette Klauser was brought before the senate. Anette is the current Mayor of Kitsuko and came to the senate to speak on behalf of the city.

After a few hours an agreement was reached that would allow for Kitsuko to become a Protectorate as well as protect international holdings in the city. Annette Klauser has been declared the Interim President of Kitsuko until elections in 320RE, the same year as Senate and Prime Minister elections. After leaving the Senate it was unanimously passed by the Triumvirate. It is expected that President Anette Klauser will select the Senator in the coming days, as well as the two Kitsuko Representatives for the Kitsuko Technology Council.

January 321RE

Election Corner

Last year the Trium elections occurred nationwide seeing a shift in the government. Prime Minister Mariko Hirewa (Independence Party) was defeated by Admiral Tsukiko Irinawa (Freedom Party) who had previously ran for Commander General. Commander General Kameko Ina'ta achieved victory with nearly 60% of the Military votes, the largest percentage in history. Tsukiko Irinawa was the first member of the Freedom Party to be elected to the position of Triumvirate and the third female to hold the position. This continues the pattern of a female dominated Triumvirate, with Emperor Arcturus having been the only male to have held the positions of Commander General, Vice Minister (now defunct), and Emperor.

Breaking News!

Professor Reginald Orikson of the University of Ki'Tal, a Private University, has begun teaching an 'extermist' view of So'Karsan Government theory. Professor Orikson claims that the Triumvirate system is based on the three 'Pillars' of a balanced society. Those pillars being 'The People', 'The Nobility', and 'The Military', in his class he often espouses that if the entirety of So'Karsa were to follow these same pillars the nation would see a true golden age of economic and societal development. Another claim he has stated is the need to install Military governors in the different Protectorates of So'Karsa that would be directly in charge of the local military forces, decreasing the cost, and increasing the efficiency.

His 'Extreme' statements and teachings don't end there of course. He is one of the many critics against joining the Commonwealth of nations. The 'law' passed with 65% of the Senate supporting it, meanwhile only 30% of the general population supported the legislation seeing it as giving up there hard fought independence. Professor Orikson has founded an organization called the Trilinium Movement, the organizations goal is to spead the teachings of Professor Orikson to other universities and hopefully sway the government towards adopting the more 'extreme' version.

We requested an interview with the Triumvirate regarding these recent revelations, with only the recently elected Tsukiko Irinawa having anything to say. "As long as the Freedom party holds any sway in the Senate or the Triumvirate I will guarantee that this Extremist government will never exist!"-Tsukiko Irinawa. The supporters of the Freedom Party fully support the Prime Ministers statement and are known for there love of limited government.

March 321RE

A Royal Death

King Hiro Rai'Kal and his wife Queen Kyo Rai'Kal were involved in a freak automobile accident on there way home from a ball. The royal couple were proclaimed dead at the scene. Arthur Kroviun, husband of Kohaku Nao'Kal spoke to us regarding the accident.

"The King and Queen were at a Charity Ball in town raising funds for the relief effort of Northern Ardorra. The two were very involved in local politics and often fought for the rights of the people when nobles would try and take advantage of them. My wife and I will be returning to Ar'Onn for our coronation ceremony. I hope everyone will keep the King and Queen in there prayers, and always remember them as the supporters of the people they were."

Since then Princess Kohaku Nao'Kal, and Prince Arthur Kroviun have in fact returned to Ar'Onn and are making preparations for there coronation, normally a happy time but it has a somber feel because of the deaths of these great people.

A New Hand of Kairi?

Prince Draven Hardren Kroviun, the adopted son of Emperor Arcturus Kroviun, and the bastard child of Emperor Arthur Kroviun today has announced his wishes to meet with his brother Prince Bastian Kroviun of Zanaro. While we have no word from either brother what the meeting may be about we have heard from a member of the Kroviun Family cleaning staff that the young prince had been looking into Soriven law regarding the Hand of Kairi.

Does this mean the Prince will be seeking the Zanarite throne? Or perhaps he just wishes to give his brother a hand in the Zanarite capital of Korvain? We hope to find out soon!

Is the Princess in Love?

A few nobles who attended the crowning of Emperor Soren Bonde have come forward with a juicy piece of gossip. I appears that Princess Rose of So'Karsa was spotted hanging around with Damien Bonde, the bastard son of Emperor Soren Bonde, for most of the ceremony and at the gathering before. One source reports she 'tackled' the boy to the ground, others say she 'tackle hugged' him. Is love in the air for the young Princess and the child of Soren? We hope to find out soon!

A Royal in the Navy?

It has recently been revealed that Princess Rose Sylvia Kroviun has begun gathering records and the like to join the So'Karsan Navy. Which will be possible when she turns sixteen due to a recently passed law. She'll be turning sixteen on August 12 of next year, many military commanders are already excited to be working with her, as she has continued to show her skill and capabilities in her school, often being the top of her class. When asked about it Admiral Errington had this to say.

"Princess Rose would be an amazing woman to have serving the Republic's Navy, and as such she will be sent to the OCS (Officer Candidacy School) and finish her highschool and early college training there. She'll be put into active service after she turns eighteen, and will likely be given command of her own naval vessel. It's really quite exciting, and I'm sure the Emperor is very proud if his daughter."

These are amazing times we live in, to think it was just over a decade ago that So'Karsa was formed and now we're getting to see a new generation who've been raised in this great nation begin to take the reigns.

A Look at North Adrorra

A little over two years ago a war was fought that would lead to the inclusion of North Ardorra as a Protectorate of So'Karsa. Within that time we've seen some amazing changes within the region. The city of Se'Sora, once a bombed out shell, is now begining to shows of life and has begun to become a testament to the unity of the two nations. North Ardorran leaders are also happy to report that there are definitive signs of a full economic recovery as well as large numbers of North Ardorrans joining the So'Karsan military. Many seeking to see new lands, or just to aid in the development of the nation as a whole.

While early on in the newly joined Protectorate there were issues, many have withered away thanks to progressive aid programs as well as reconstruction assistance efforts to better heal relations. The So'Karsan government worked hard to ensure that the North Ardorrans were made aware they were not conquered but that they joined into a partnership and that they would be treated as family. It is believed that soon relations will be better then ever before in the history of So'Karsa.
