Naval Increases

Today the Defense Ministry announced it will go forward with its Đ50 billion plan to begin expanding the Imperial Navy. According to a Ministry spokesman this decision was years in the making and efforts to rebuild the navy after the Corali Campaign have been underway for quite some times. This news comes a shock to many who have been expecting an announcement from the Imperial Senate lowering the general tax on citizens. Questions have arisen as to whether this decision by the Defense Ministry will delay the tax decision.

The Defense Ministry has also stated that its plans include the construction of a new class of super carrier, the first to be constructed in Mestra. Detailed plans on the new Bastion class carriers are below:

Defense Ministry Announces Plans to Increase Armed Forces

The Defense Ministry has announced that has planned to increase the federation armed forces by 50,000 personal. Exact increases haven't been confirmed yet, though it is unlikely that the increase will occur within the navy. Analysts expect the additions to be made to the army which has seen considerable increases since its creation more than a decade ago.

We will reanalyze the federal armed forces and its distribution as we look towards expanding the overall armed forces by 50,000 personal. During these continuing times our focus on security within our own nation and within the region are being refocused as our interests on the global stage become a priority.

Navy launches its 8th super carrier

The Ministry of Defense has announced that the 8th Super Carrier for the Federation Navy has been launched out of the Andera Shipyards. With its construction the navy has increased the overall carrier groups to 8, in addition to adding additional amphibious and partrol task groups. As the nations coastline has grown and its interests have become more broad, the necessity for the navy to be able to defend the nation's interests. Neither the Defense Ministry or the Federal Navy have announced the creation of a 5th fleet, though where it would be stationed is highly questioned as the current fleets are stationed around Syntreal providing the nation with quick response to combat.

Government Institutes Ban on Nuclear Weapon Development


The Defense Ministry has announced that the Federation Armed Forces is halting all development projects on nuclear weapons. The Ministry further announced that project DAWN was to pursue the development of nuclear weapons for tactical deployment. This decision has been made after the Emperor signed into Law and through issuance of an Imperial Decree the banning on all nuclear weapons and their development.

This makes the Mestran Federation the second nation in Synteral to have banned the use and development of nuclear weapons within national borders. The first nation being the United States of Angiris.

"It is our hopes that we can continue to work towards a nuclear free future, and to prevent the global holocausts of the past," said Defense Minister Marvin Brown. While the ban does prohibit nuclear weapons it does not prevent other forms of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Whether the military will develop alternative weaponry is unclear.

It should be noted that operations in Anderis will continue with uranium extraction as the government transitions the facility from the Defense Ministry to the Ministry of Energy. It is expected that the government will continue to provide work as it gears up to begin research on nuclear reactors. While the nations energy needs are easily met with alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal, the access to nuclear reactor technology could be vital for continued development in regions of the nation that lack adequate access to renewable energy.

The 83rd Annual Pride Parade is celebrated throughout I'balan


The historic capital city played host to the 83rd annual Pride parade celebrating the countries establishment of gay rights. The parade route was lined with tens of thousands of onlookers as the near six mile parade wind through new and old areas of the city.

While the nation never maintained on the books laws preventing gay rights; some businesses, organizations, and individuals often treated those of the LGBT community as second class citizens. Oddly enough given these circumstances, the nation had never allowed the purchase, sell, or possession of slaves, and the general concept of second class citizens wasn't introduced until Mestra was in contact with foreign states.

The festivities will continue for two weeks, with various cities across the nation hosting their own events.

Consolidation of the Military


The Ministry of Defense has announced to day that it will be dissolving the former Imperial Army, with most of the battalions being merged into the Marine Corps. This effective decision makes the Navy the largest branch of the armed forces. Several battalions will be retained and formed into the Federation Security Forces along with several Patrol Task Groups and airwings. The FSF will now be charged with the defense of the Federation at home.

Portions of the Logistical divisions will be formed into the Army Core of Engineers which will be responsible for the building and upkeep of the nations infrastructure.

More changes are sure to be had as the Ministry is expected to announce the finalized size of the new 6th and 7th Fleets.

Pacium Union Granted Basing Rights

In a move to support the future development of relations between the Pacium Union and the Mestran Federation, the Federal government has announced that it will be granting naval basing rights to the Pacium Union in the province of Canan, (part of the Kingdom of Corali). The estimated size of the Pacium based forces has not been clearly established yet, but many believe the granting of basing rights is prep work for the future signing of a treaty between the Federation and the Pacium Union.

More will to follow.

Parliament Recognizes De Jure Claims

The Parliament passed, unanimously, the Angiris-Imondan Recognitoin Act recognizing the Imondan region west of the Imondan Lake as the de jure territorial claim of the United States of Angiris. While the act does nothing legally or provides formal recognition internationally, it does mark the first major step in easement of tensions between the two nations.

The recent effort between Mestra and Angiris to mend long held tension has continued as Mestra is set to join one of the largest sports leagues in Angiris. Construction on several new bridges and maglev lines have sparked renewed commerce between the two states, and new tourism.

Prime Minister Salrio who applauded the passing of the act had this to say:

"I am quite excited that we can begin pursuing a new age for Syntreal and I hope that our western neighbors will see our actions here today as genuine support for their government and her people."

The act must now travel to the Imperial Palace where it awaits the signature of the Emperor, a mere formality in this case as the Emperor has been a strong supporter of the Angiris-Imondan Recognition Act.

The Act prevents mestran intervention along the western area of the Imondan Lake from the south-western border of Angiris to the nation of Last Hold and her territorial claims.

Government Crackdown in Anderis - Drug Trafficking Targeted


Drug Enforcement agents have increased their presence in Anderis as drug trafficking continues to escalate. The Federal Government is expected to divert numerous resources into Anderis and neighboring nations to assist in ceasing the movement of drugs into the nation. Military troops are expected to be mobilized along the border in an attempt to further restrict such movements.

The Foreign Minister is expected to travel to Vestropulania, Mestra's southern most neighbor in Southern Galarese to discuss providing support for the nation in its own efforts to combat drug trafficking.

MFF mobilizes forces near Last Hold - Response to Litharova Crisis


The MFF has announced they have begun mobilizing the third fleet out of Anderis. The 5th Carrier Task Group is being stationed near Vigil, Last Hold allowing for rapid response to possible escalation in Litharova. "The recent violence is of great concern for the overall stability of the region, and we will take measures to secure the peace," said a military official. It is unclear if the the MFF will utilize its assets for or against Litharova, but it has become quite apparent that the government will not allow the situation in the nation to spill over into Last Hold, a Mestran ally. Further, we are unsure of the overall complications involved if the MFF should use military force against the Litharovans.

The Deputy-Minister for Foreign Affairs has stated that all diplomatic routes will be taken before the Emperor will consider military intervention. Ambassadors will be dispatched to the Litharovan government to discuss what efforts and support the Mestran government can provide. Primary concerns are being given over the welfare of the Litharovan people.
