BREAKING NEWS - BOMBER STRIKES BE A STAR AUDITIONS by Anna Costa ~ November 12th 2020 | | | ISONIA - BREAKING NEWS: A suicide bomber has hit the auditions of Be A Star in Isonia, killing over a hundred people and injuring nearly a thousand more. At this time it is believed the bomber was disguised as a dancer auditioning for the popular TV show and set off a bomb during their performance.
The blast is credited as having directly killed sixteen people, while the collapse of the historic Royal Theatre of High Art, where the auditions were being held, led to the rest of the deaths after the building slid from its foundations, crushing people inside and then raining debris onto a busy road. Among the victims is believed to be the judges of the program - choreographer Baroness Azalia, record company magnate Robert Johnson and pop star Venom.
The motive for the attack is unknown, but extremist Canariese nationalist group Libarta O Schisa has claimed responsibility.
We will follow this story as more information comes in. |

ANTI-CANARIESE PROTESTERS MARCH ON THE FAYVIAN PALACE by Georgia Bax ~ November 17th 2020 | | | ISONIA - Anti-Canariese protesters marched on the Fayvian Palace in Amber City this afternoon, demanding the "purge of the Canariese scum" and calling for the monarchy to order the "cleansing of the Canariese" as a measure to stop the Canariese nationalist movement that has been building.
The protesters were halted by police and military before they reached the Palace, but the attempt at peacefully stopping them snowballed into a violent confrontation that quickly boiled over and led to rioting across Amber City. Six police officers were injured in the resulting backlash and sixteen protesters were arrested on charges of inciting hatred and plotting to violate the constitution. They will face court next month in yet another set of cases that have been called up in response to the boiling anger on both sides of the debate over Canary.
While some have managed to keep the debate civil, with Forseti Taler engaging in a civilized debate with the Governor of Isatia (formerly Canary) recently on national television, most prefer to resort to violence. This is only the latest in a series of such violent clashes that have been sparked by the Kingboroughian annexation of parts of Canary.
Just days ago Canariese nationalists set off a suicide bomb during auditions for Be A Star, a popular talent finding TV series, while TV personality Dan Greu will face court tomorrow, charged with inciting hatred after he called for Canariese to be murdered in the streets on his popular talkshow.
The government has been struggling to find a balance between the opposing groups, launching a royal investigation into the best method of integration two months ago. But if a solution exists, it is needed soon before the nation starts to crumble. |

CONSERVATIVES CRASH WEDDING by Petra Lyone ~ September 18th 2019 | | | ISONIA - Conservative extremists have attacked a wedding in Nua Marco this morning, seizing the Temple of Saint Eron in the middle class suburb of Galtain during the exchange of vows, injuring fifteen and then taking hostages.
The attack is just one of many clashes between conservatives who led the Canariese rebellion and Kalorist Isatians and Kingboroughian's within the Imperium, with extremist terrorist cells forming across Isatia. It is believed the terrorists, who belong to the Front for the Removal of the Abhorrence of the Sinners (FRAS) were given their information on the wedding by a clerk at the Office of Marriage and Civil Unions, and targeted the wedding because of the fact it was same-sex, with most conservatives seeing same-sex marriage as in-human.
The attackers arrived at the scene an hour before the wedding, waiting outside in a white SUV before staging the attack during the exchange of vows, throwing Molotov cocktails, rocks and other home-grown projectiles at the congregation through windows, before storming the doors and breaking into the building, grabbing the grooms and best woman while the congregation was still reeling in shock and making off with them in a get-away car. They then proceeded to a local house, fortified in preparation and took up residence before police arrived to begin a three hour siege.
The siege only ended police managed to negotiate deal, which saw the hostages eventually released in exchange for one million dollars and getaway helicopter. However in cruel twist of fate the terrorists failed to escape, when a mob of onlookers attacked them just after exiting the house - killing two of them and critically injuring the third before police could pull the vengeful civilians off them.
The Kalorist community has responded with outrage to the attack, despite the Otiph calling for calm, with deadly clashes have been spurred on by the attack. The military was called in to break up the attack less than an hour ago, after a mob armed with bulldozers and automatic weapons began a rampage through the hometown of the attackers. |

NEW FORSETI SWORN IN by Anna Costa ~ September 29th 2021 | | | ISONIA - The newest Forseti of the Imperium has been sworn in this morning at a ceremony at the Fayvian Palace in Amber City, presided over by the regent for the crown. The unusually young new head of government took the oath of allegiance, before appearing with the regent and the young Fayvian before the huge crowd gathered in anticipation for the first speech of his term.
Lewis Alden, the new Forseti, is only 24 but he has been hailed already as one of the most talented politicians this decade, and is descended from an long tradition of politics - with his father presently being the [tooltip=Graisai]Grand Duke[/tooltip] of H'Han province. A graduate of Edena University in Ikarius, he was intending to pursue a career in game design but at the beginning of his campaign explained that while he never wanted to go into politics, he felt he had to use the gifts and position he'd been given by Kalor to save the country from what he termed "the inept fools running our beloved homeland."
 PHOTO: Lewis Alden, the newly sworn in Forseti SOURCE: Provided
In his inaugural speech, which historically has characterised the rest of a Forseti's term, he began by telling the crowds he wanted to use his term to "usher in a new age of freedom for all people, and a new era where the Imperium is the champion of that freedom," indicating a change from the former governments stance of sitting quietly while conflict has raged around Nysa. Indeed, the Forseti had nothing but scorn for those who wanted to continue that policy, stating;
"It is self proclaimed believers in freedom and rights who care only for their own rights and don't seek to give those rights to all people of the world that have let this situation of evil continue. You might try to excuse yourself by saying "But where is this evil? I see none" but when nations such as Achaea and Perentium can still exist, then I assure you evil is still around."
The speech in general appears to take a swipe at both several political parties, such as the Golden Peace faction, who have campaigned for less war, and several nations in Nysa, notably Millerainia, for not being more aggressive in international politics. Some political analysts believe this is only the beginning, with more radical policies to come, but to what extent Alden will take it is unsure at this time. |

FORSETI STEPS IT UP AGAINST PERENTIUM AND ACHAEA by Robert Landing ~ October 12th 2021 | | | ISONIA - The Forseti has stepped up demands for the destruction of Achaea and Perentium, officially issuing a state condemnation for two nations and withdrawing the Ambassador of the Imperium to Achaea, carrying through on the hate for them shown in his inaugural speech a fortnight ago. He has joined Millerainia and Carpathian in the condemnation of both nations, caused respectively by the Perentium Games and Achaea's radical brand of environmentalist, which most famously saw it's leaders threaten those gathered at the Ninsk Conference in 2017 if they went ahead with plans for colonising Skein.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also issued a travel warning for Perentium, and it is understood the Ministry of Trade is organising embargo's that will be imposed on both nations from tomorrow.
The Forseti has stated that "should it come to war, the Imperium will stand with our friends in Carpathia and Moldova, but for now we still believe that other alternatives exis, and we are waiting on word from Hahklallah on what negotiations or other moves it has planned. However while we wait to see if Hahklallah may be able to solve these issues, we still do not wish to see our citizenry endangered or such radical states benefit from our unintentional charity in the mean time and so we have imposed the measures you see today. Should this fail we will be wholeheartedly prepared to assist in liberating these states from the oppressors that hold control of them."
Opposing members of the Comhairle have criticised the move, especially [tooltip=MDC]Member of the Daoine's Comhairle[/tooltip] Alesha Janes, a leading member of the Golden Peace [tooltip=faction]While political parties in the Imperium are banned, most MDC's are members of a faction - an unofficial voting block of ideologically similar members.[/tooltip], who has described the actions as "warmongering" and "throwing away the lives of young Arrese men and women." Members of the Golden Peace faction contend that Achaea does not deserve the condemnation or threats, as only being politically different is not violating human rights and claim the Imperium is just blindly following the lead of it's allies. |

BOY ALLEGED TO BE THE ILLEGITIMATE SON OF EDANA I by Albert Dakker ~ November 14th 2021 | | | ISONIA - A seventeen year old boy has come forward to the media this morning with proof that alleges him to be the illegitimate son of Edana I, born six years before her previously only known child Cahan after she had an affair with her Uvalisa bodyguard. He presented the gathered media with a signed testimony from the doctor who presided over the birth, and bank statements that appear to allege that his father was given payments of ten thousand dollars earth month from 2004-2012, ceasing at the time Edana died.
The boy, by the name of Cian al ra Lha, is a human-uvalisa hybrid raised in the village of Ahlaha, in Uvalisa Province by his father, an Uvalisa bodyguard by the name of Lha ag at Opha. In an independent investigation, the Isonia Inquiry verified Lha ag at Opha worked as a bodyguard for Edana at the time of the claimed affair. A FOIA request by the Inquiry also revealed a birth certificate was filed for a boy born in February 2004 by the name of Cian, with the parents being listed as Lha ag at Opha and Anade Nairo, which is Edana O'Rian spelt backwards. The presiding doctor was Gregory la Voon, who was known to be employed by the monarchy from time to time.
According to a letter written by the boy's father before he died, he was hidden as a shame to the monarchy - birthing a hybrid who could've ended up inheriting the throne if not hidden. The Count of Ash allegedly agreed to help hide the fact from his colleagues in the oligarchy in return for political favour from Iosac II.

The Office of the Fayvian has stated they will be "looking into the matter" and the Forseti has apparently summoned the boy to meet with him during the week to discuss the issue and conduct genetic testing.
The revelations have the possibility to spiral the political scene into chaos, as if genetic testing verifies parentage, then the boy should've legally inherited the throne instead of Cahan. |

ILLEGITIMATE SON OF EDANA I ADOPTED BY ROYAL FAMILY by Georgia Bax ~ February 18th 2021 | | | ISONIA - The alleged illegitimate son of Edana I that surfaced last month has been confirmed to be the offspring of the deceased Anassa by genetic testing conducted under direction of the Forseti. Therefore, today the House of Carmichael in the Imperium formerly adopted him into the family and conferred upon him the title and style of His Royal Highness, Prince of the Isles and Sai of Alrosen.
The adoption of the newly royal Prince Cian is a direct strike back at the parent house of Carmichael in Sovreignry, who claimed "this is nothing but a power grab intended by Kingboroughian nationalists to upset the balance of power in the region and unseat the Carmichael family from their 'duly inherited' place on the throne."
The government of the Imperium responded scathingly to the criticism, with the Forseti issuing a counter statement saying "The government of Sovreignry has no business discussing our government dealings, even if we shall share a royal family, Sovreignry does not rule us and never will. The question of Cian's status is not something for them to meddle in, and the fact he is legally a son of Edana makes this nothing more than a legitimate course of action to be taken by the boy. He fact he has been unrecognised, hidden and left to live in poverty is disgusting and I hope Sovreignry would not prefer that such continue." |

FORSETI UNVEILS PROVINCIAL REORGANISATION by Kaden Ranen ~ February 28th 2022 | | | ISONIA - The Forseti has unveiled on the signature policies of his term this week, presenting to the Comhairle a plan for consolidation of the provinces of the Imperium which would see the number of provinces drop from 23 to 17 - merging several sparsely populated provinces to their neighbours, as well as merging the government area for Isatia into one unit instead of the present provinces of Lower and Upper Isatia.
The plan has been greeted with suspicion from some - primarily concerned about cultural and historical differences and continuing the legacy of the age when the islands were each independent nations, but widespread support exists for the idea which people view as removing wasteful extra government that is wasting tax payer money.
MDC Marianne Rhainon also criticised that leaves Uval and Leonesia province independent provinces, despite tiny populations of just over 3000 and 800 respectively but the Forseti retorted that "while the Uvals and the Church continue to pay their own bills and not leech off the rest of the Imperium, then their governance is up to them." Asten province meanwhile has also remained independent because of it's status as the royal capital, as well as being the recent focus of a huge population boom - climbing from 9000 to 13000 people in just two years, which should the trend continue would have made it big enough to unmerge again in just a few years.
The plan comes in tandem with a future proposal to create municipalities to take on most of the present powers of provinces, while handing other federal government powers to the provinces. However both plans will require support of all provincial governments and the federal Comhairle - meaning their passage may not eventuate. So far the Forseti's consolidation proposal looks set to pass all involved parliaments, but the municipality proposal is still up in the air.
Because of the fact that the new smaller number of provinces would shrink the Comhairle (from 83 to 79 members) it has also been decided to hold off from removing any sitting members and simply not placing their seats up for election in a years time when the election takes place. |

PRINCE CIAN SHOWN OFF AT 8TH NATIONAL CONGRESS IN FALSEA by Andrew Jusin ~ March 18th 2022 | | | ISONIA - Prince Cian was given his first opportunity to represent the nation abroad this week, attending the 8th National People's Congress in Falsea to represent the Imperium - the first time foreigners have been given the opportunity to witness the National Congress, which is the highest organ of Falsean government and indirectly elects the Premier and Secretary General of the People's Republic. Prince Cian spoke before the conference to emphasis the close relationship between Falsea and the Imperium, imploring the congress to choose wisely so the revolution could proceed.
Prince Cian, the newly adopted illegitimate son of Edana I, was accompanied by Daniel Ascot, the heir to the Maidom of Rydah and nephew of the sitting Otiph of Isonia. Mr Ascot last represented the nation abroad to the Ninsk Conference on Skein where he was considered instrumental in leading the conference to the formation of the Ninsk Accords on the Exploration and Colonisation of Skein.
Proceeding the conference, photos surfaced of Prince Cian and Mr Ascot kissing in the terminal at Isonia International Airport after they arrived back in the Imperium. The royal house has yet to confirm or deny the couple are dating. |

FORSETI UNVEILS WINNER OF FLAG CONTEST by Jessica Pots ~ March 26th 2022 | | | ISONIA - The Forseti has today unveiled the result of a long overdue flag contest, after the Comhairle approved the changing of the Imperial flag at last. The flag of the former People's Islands of Kingborough had been utilised as the imperial flag until now, having been reused to save time and money during the initial transition, but last month the Forseti announced a public contest to see a new flag of the country created by artists.
 IMAGE: New Flag of the Arrese Imperium SOURCE: Provided
The old coat of arms will be retained, due to the "prohibitive cost of changing" due to all government letterhead, buildings and more using the design. The new flag (which actually features the coat of arms) is a total change from the traditional cross like designs Kingborough used formerly, though it uses the same colour scheme of the national dark blue and dark red. It features a simple rectangle, divided half and half between each national colour, with the coat of arms in the center of the flag.
The creator of the flag is Edward Galaic, a graphic artist from Asten Province who works for the National Medical Corporation as an advert designer. He stated he wanted to create "an elegant, powerful, beautiful flag that captures the simplicity but strength of the country and it's unity as a nation formed of two halves centered our belief in a shared ideal, represented by the 'uniting figure' of the coat of arms." |

RIOTS UNDERWAY IN ISONIA by Kaden Ranen ~ February 8th 2023 | | | ISONIA - People are presently being warned not to travel into Isonia's CBD after rioting broke outside the Isonia One Tower, home of the majority of the Imperial government's offices.
Originally a peaceful protest responding to an announcement by the People's Court of Constitutional Law that the State Religion Act had been declared unconstitutional, individuals mostly from the conservative Alliance of True Temples have reportedly turned the situation into out of control riots, setting fire to cars and vandalising neighbouring buildings before they were engaged by National Guard and riot Police called out to calm the situation.
The constitutional court released its ruling just half an hour ago, in which it stated that on a consensus of 4-1, they had agreed that the State Religion Act was unconstitutional and was therefore repealed. The protesters responded almost immediately to the results of the appeal.
The case has been a matter of controversy since it was was filed six moths ago, and over the last few weeks especially has seen many of the nations normally tolerant Kalorist majority perpetrate attacks on individuals of foreign religious beliefs. Yesterday, the headquarters of the complainant - the Freedom & Liberty League, a non-governmental organisation from Arroh Province - were burnt to the grown by arsons.
The major reason for such outrage has been the possibility for the review to fundamentally change the fabric of the Imperial government, as it constitutes a review of the State Religion Act 2018. One of the earliest acts passed by the new government after the fall of the Oligarchy, the State Religion Act created Kalorism as the official religion of the Imperium, requiring among other things the religions teaching in all government funded schools. However a review filed by the Freedom & Liberty League argued that such an act is unconstitutional based on provisions made in the Bill of Rights for freedom of religion.
Further news as we hear more on the situation... |

ECONOMIC SHRINKAGE SLOWING by Andrew Jusin ~ August 7th 2023 | | | ISONIA - The national recession is slowing, according to statistic released by the National Bank department of Eron Financial. The economy, which dropped into free fall following the disastrous take over of Canary by the Oligarchy, is slowly recovering according to the statistics, which show the national GDPpc only shrunk by 0.4% in 2022, down from 0.7% in 2021, while based on figures so far this year the economic shrinkage is estimated to dip to just 0.2%. It is believed the national economy will experience its first growth for five years in 2024.
The recession was triggered primarily by the disastrous damage in Canary the government had to cope with, billions having to be poured into the repair of the country as well as aide to Ildyn's own recovery. It coincided with the nationalisation and later merger of many Imperial companies, which didn't provide a good environment for the economy as new management were getting accustomed to their jobs still.However most of the repair has now been finished, and the economy is forecast to climb out of recession rapidly and bring the Imperium back into the spotlight as the international business center.
The news has come as the redevelopment of Isonia reaches completion, with the government dropping yearly funding of the project to just 10 billion. However, as soon as one project finishes, a new one begins - for the government has now announced a massive building project which plans to create a second metropolis for the Imperium, diverting growth away from the crowded Isonia.
The plan, dubbed New Metropolis, will cost 200 billion over seven years and see the royal capital of Amber transformed into a new megatropolis. Subsidised housing will be made available for citizens who wish to move from Isonia to New Amber, and massive public works projects are already under way - ranging from a total overhaul of the provincial airport to make it able to accept international flights, to the creation of a huge public transport network.
The government also announced in conjunction with the project, it has submitted an application to see Amber host the 2028 Olympic Games - a process the world will be watching with interest to see who wins.
To pay for the entire project taxes will be raised half a percent for one year, while widespread cuts to the budget will take place - ranging from shaving 7 billion off grants to provincial governments, three billion off public law and order, two billion off infrastructure investment, 500 million from the National Spy Agency for one year, and 400 million from the cabinet and Comhairle's own operational costs. |

SURVIVAL PROJECT RELAUNCHED by Georgia Bax ~ Autumber 9th 2023 | | | ILLADIA CITY - The Survival Project has been relaunched today, according to Forseti Lewis Alden who announced the plans at a press conference this morning.
The Survival Project was a multi-billion dollar project created by the Count I'Sal during the oligarchy, and finished in 2016. The project saw the excavation of a miniature underground city in what was then I'Sal province (now part of Loria Province), designed to hold a hundred thousand people for up to two decades without outside contact. The expensive project was finished in 2015 and discontinued in 2017 upon the fall of the Oligarchy.
The facility has the ability to be sealed off from the outside world entire, airtight, in case of radiation fall out or nuclear attack, and contains living areas, a working hospital, meat production facilities, hydroponic gardens, a zoo for repopulating the planet with animal life, servers containing copies of major musical works, films and books from across Oracia and safe storage for works of art and other historic artifacts. It was touted as one of the marvels of the age upon its completion, but has been left entirely empty for the past six years.
Forseti Alden told reporters this morning the project would be relaunched, with a sustainable underground settlement to be created. The present city will remain as it is, with maintenance and restocking of supplies to resume, while expansion will now begin with private citizens being invited to purchase a new home and open businesses in the city. It has also been indicated the Imperial government intends to begin constructing a work place for government, to include royal accommodation, a parliament house, courts and cabinet offices, to be used should it need to withdraw to the caverns in case of disaster.
The Forseti stated that "due to the ever present danger of invasion, terrorist attack, nuclear war between suicidal Caprecians or hotheaded Nysans, not to mention natural disasters such as meteors, the government sees it as prudent to assure our nations continuity."
It is believed the emergency section of the city will also be opened to tourists, to help pay for the estimated two million yearly cost of maintaining the facility. To justify the cost, the Forseti has stated he also intends to create a new secure back up location for the governments servers within the city.
The entire facility will be renamed Illadia according to the government memo released in tandem with the press conference. |

IMPERIUM CONDEMNS BATTLION by Andrew Jusin ~ January 8th 2024 | | | ISONIA - The Arrese Imperium has today joined in support of the neighbouring Monroe Republic, condemning the Battlion Republic for it's role in the fighting that has erupted over Monrovian nationalisation of the assets of Battlionese companies operating in the troubled Republic.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Millworth, this morning issued a formal condemnation of the "violation of sovereignty" that he says the Battlion Republic has committed.
The press release made by the Foreign Office reads as follow; "The land in question is internationally recognised as under the jurisdiction of the Monroe Republic, and we therefore can't abide by the Battlion Republic intervening in this land against international law, when the Monroe Republic attempts to enforce its laws. For Battlion to continue to do so would be a violation of their sovereignty in the most serious manner. Should the Battlion Republic continue to force this issue to the point of war, we will be saddened to have to assist our friends in Monroe in any way possible."
The Foreign Office has further stated they are prepared to take further steps, and unconfirmed reports are coming in from Loria Island that the Imperium navy has sent two destroys and a cruiser to anchor in Ghalia City on Loria, which is the closest island to Battlion's coast. |

AMBER NAMED OLYMPIC HOST by Andra Danste ~ March 1st 2024 | | | AMBER CITY - Amber City has been officially chosen by the International Oracian Olympic Committee as the host city of the 2028 Summer Olympics, following a run-off vote after Amber tied with Halvadag for the position in the first round of voting.
The royal capital has been undergoing massive revitalisation in anticipation of becoming the second major metropolis of the Imperium, having leaped to over 16,000 people as the government expands construction of a new residential district on the west side of the river Salde. Following competition of the Isonia Project, which saw millions rehomed from slums to government built apartment buildings, the government has become offering late applicants for government subsisted homes an option to move to Amber City provided they undergo work skills training so they can become productive members of the new settlement.

The announcement of the Olympic's hosting bid win means that within the month construction will begin on the new sports stadiums to host the Olympic events. Most other parts of the bid's conditions are already underway or completed, with Edana International Airport opening six months ago to accommodate the new influx of visitors expected. The city harbour has also been expanded to accept cargo ships and cruise-liners, with a regular day cruise to Leonesia Island being opened next month.
The plan has been welcomed by the Asten Province and Amber City governments as "moving forward with strength", though some interest groups claim it will sully the historic value of the city - despite all construction happening in entirely new land, with the old city to stay as a tourist attraction.
It is understood a bill is now being discussed in the Comhairle that would see asylum seekers from Thalamore and other emergency immigrants settled in Amber City in order to further population growth. |
