The future of Rail
Posted Image
Today in news the government of Goldecia with the Olympic bid in mind announced they would produce a report on the future of Goldecian railways. The transport minister Robert Hagg said "It is vital at this time we look at our options. We will produce a report looking at the best way to connect our cities and airports by rail. The main options being discussed are upgrading of our conventional rail to better standards, the creation of a entirely new high-speed system or the adoption of Maglevs between our main cities and airports. We are also going to look at the option of extensions into neighbouring nations to reduce the local need for air travel. We believe it is only right to look at how to make our transport network faster, higher capacity and greener in this day and age."The opposition have today backed the plan by the coalition saying investment in public transport is welcome.

NG Starley rescue deal?
Posted Image
In news today NG-Starley officially entered protected bankruptcy as its finances went downhill. The company have recently struggled with cost control and sales of its models due to the diverse parts base, low productivity and high labour costs.The potential bankruptcy is worrying locals in Cofton Bridge are worried as many depend on the plant. The local Royal conservative government have pledged to support jobs and look at assisting the manufacturer. It was announced that Petite brand has been officially sold to Lyons-Land Ranger for 1.9 billion Goldecian pounds to raise money and hopefully breathe life into the brand. The company is reportedly interested in launching new models in a more premium position with more common parts while gaining a small car platform. The company has announced the move will save 2,000 jobs with plans to hire more people and make more cars. The future of NG, Starley and Triumpth in the balance. The company collapse could cost 10's of thousands of jobs and the company is to be reorganised. Buyers from both Goldecia and abroad have been invited to invest in the old brands that are so much a part of Goldecia's car culture.The remaining companies make 450,000 cars between them but this is under half plant capacity.

The government promised the company would not be sold to asset strippers.

Podjaze Statement from Government!

In news today the Goldecian foreign minister Lord Anthony Whittle has released the official government position on the Podjaze elections. He said at this mornings press conference he said "His majesties government has this to say about the situation in Podjaze. It is our belief that people should have the right to determine their countries future and that sovereignty rests with the people. We also however believe that exclusions of any groups from elections fundamentally undermines this principle and so we are concerned about the lack of the communist parties placing on the ballot papers. We therefore support negotiations between all other parties and the communist party in order to produce an election with all parties and political groupings in the country involved. We believe further resolution is needed to resolve the situation therefore are neutral in the situation in Podjaze."

The position has been supported by all major parties in Goldecia.

February 2025:
Abere Protests!

In news today protests erupted outside the Abere embassy protesting the new hate law and the fascist direction of the country. Protests grew to 2,500 protesters today with many more organising protests via Ogobook. Human rights organisations and the ICS church officially launched their Abere boycott to pressure the government not only to reverse the hate law but respect freedom of speech, and civil rights. Over 10,000 pledged to boycott Abere products in the first day. The government were reached for comment today with the prime minister commenting "I believe in Abere sovreignty and that they have a good kind royal family , however sadly the government in power are not nice or good for Abere. They intend to take Abere back to the dark old days of the ugly nationalism of the early 1900's and quite frankly would be good partners to One Goldecia. For this reason our government continues to call for change and reform of basic civil liberties in Abere and understands the reasons for protests against the Abere government."Gay rights organisation Born this Way also confirmed they were joining the boycott.

Prince Edmund who famously nearly got killed for defending Prince Marcus commented "The Abere fascist government are nothing but scum who do not deserve to rule.I fully support Aberans in their demands for a free country. I believe it is important to fight for liberty." It is rumoured he is considering flying over to join the protests in Abere.Edmund reinforced his support for the royal family of Abere.

6th July 2026:
Yellowshirts founded by One Goldecia

Today in news One Goldecia announced they would be forming a youth programme which would encourage Goldecian values such as independence, religious values and looking out for their community. The new programme called Yellowshirts would also teach values such as discipline, marching and military values. The new programme would go on camps regularly and meet up every week with a rank system that "cadets" would rank up in. The programme has reportedly already had 20,000 admissions to the chapters throughout the country.

Protests emerged outside of parliament calling for a banning of the Yellowshirts but ministry officials have said they cannot legally ban the programme under freedom of speech and freedoms of the constitution. Critics such as the Royal Conservatives and Lord Edward Marshall have condemned the programme as a way for One Goldecia to spread their racist and fascist values. The programme has admitted it vets applicants to make sure its participants are human and that no lgbt people get in to the programme and it is reported 99% of those signing up are white orthodox Salbanist people.

November 6th 2026:
Election results from abroad
Today in news in Aurentine Simon Hawthorne's Conservatives gained an electoral lead of 34.2% to 31.3% over the Social Democrat Party led by current prime minister Simon Winchester. The result has widely been seen as rejection of left wing politics and Social Democrat parties after almost a decade in power. The Conservatives gained 405 seats to the Social Democrats 252 seats in the Peoples Chamber but ran short of a majority by 3 seats with only 60 seats ahead of Social Democrats 31 seats in the Senate. Harold Hawthorne said of his victory that the results were ""momentous" and that it was clearly a vote in favour of a New Government without the Social Democrats." While Simon Worchester conceded defeat announcing his resignation from leadership of his party. The Conservatives will announce in a week whether its 3rd place Prosperitas or 4th place liberals who will go into coalition to form a government having already pretty much ruled out a minority government.Prime minister Jane Summers and King Peter I have phoned to give their congratulations to Simon Hawthorne.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the world in the United States the latest elections resulted in a mixed chamber with Centrists coming first place holding the balance of power in the House of Delegates and US Senate in an unprecedented rejection of the two party system in the United States. The results were as follows:
House of Delegates - Up For Grabs: 456; Needed for Majority: 228
Democrats 89
Republicans 86
Progressives 50
Libertarians 29
Centrists 101
Total Decided: 456

Senate - Up for Grabs: 78; Needed for Majority: 39

Democrats 12
Republicans 13
Progressives 10
Libertarians 5
Centrists 39
Total Decided: 78


The Presidential hopeful on the Democrat side William Regal is just 562 votes ahead of Leonard W. Briscoe incumbent president with 21,765,402 votes counted so far. The election is predicted to be very close with recounts possible over the night.

GBC will keep you updated as events progress.

April 23rd 2027:
Royal Conservative lead in run up to locals
In news today the Royal Conservatives registered a lead in the polls in the run up to the local elections with the SDA seemingly bouncing back in the polls. The Royal Conservative campaign has been fought on keeping council taxes down and running services efficiently getting more from less by working with all groups. Some local parties have even proposed closing alot of council facilities like youth centres instead agreeing to rent church halls and other non council owned facilities for activities. The polls showed Royal Conservatives in the lead with 36% followed by Freedom Party with 30% . The polls showed the following results for the remaining parties Liberal Socialist Party 13% ,Salbanist Democratic Alliance 11%, Liberal Party 7% Republicans 1% ,Independents 1% and finally One Goldecia at 1%. The poll is a shock with One Goldecia now expecting minimal gains if not significant losses in the next election. 2,000 seats are up for election with some councils in Doornia expected to switch to Royal Conservatives or no overall control.

Predicted councillour seats(2,000):
Royal Conservatives(centre right):850 Seats(+190)
Salbanist Democratic Alliance(conservative):200 Seats(+40)
Liberal Socialist Party:179 seats(-135)
Republican:20 Seats(+5)
Liberal Party:250(-110 )
Freedom Party(national conservative on law and order and liberal socially):500 Seats(+120)
One Goldecia(fascist):1(-90)
Independents:8 Seats(-20)

The current polling would most likely tresult in the following amount of seats:
Local Councillors(6,000):
Royal Conservatives(centre right):2,188
Salbanist Democratic Alliance(conservative):994
Liberal Socialist Party:945
Republican:65
Liberal Party:544
Freedom Party(national conservative on law and order and liberal socially):1,120
One Goldecia(fascist):104
Independents:40

The Royal Conservatives were encouraged saying "We are on course to deliver for the people in may."

The polls showed the following results for the remaining parties Liberal Socialist Party 9% ,Salbanist Democratic Alliance 11%, Liberal Party 7% Republicans 1% ,Independents 1% and finally One Goldecia at 1% with each of thse parties taking hits in the polls. One Goldecia were declared the losers having imploded from their 7% share just 1 year ago. The Royal Conservative leader Jane Summers today said "The victories in our party are a sign that people know we are the right party to govern and have the right ideas on how to ensure prosperity. More importantly they are showing people are sick of the tax and spend policies that value spending not how efficiently money is spent as a way to get results that make all people better off. Finally we are happy to announce that we will be going into coalition to run many of Doornias councils including Cair Para to make sure we deliver a more prosperous Doornia. It won't be easy reversing a decades long culture of waste but we will work hard for our citizens." The 2,000 seats were announced over the night with the totals as follows

Councillour seats(2,000):
Royal Conservatives(centre right):875 Seats(+215)
Salbanist Democratic Alliance(conservative):200 Seats(+40)
Liberal Socialist Party:135 seats(-179)
Republican:20 Seats(+5)
Liberal Party:250(-110 )
Freedom Party(national conservative on law and order and liberal socially):519 Seats(+139)
One Goldecia(fascist):1(-90)
Independents:8 Seats(-20)

Seat:
Local Councillors(6,000):
Royal Conservatives(centre right):2,213
Salbanist Democratic Alliance(conservative):994
Liberal Socialist Party:901
Republican:65
Liberal Party:544
Freedom Party(national conservative on law and order and liberal socially):1,139
One Goldecia(fascist):104

36 county councils:
LSP:2
LSP/Lib:2
RC:13
RC/Lib:1
RC/Freedom Party: 2
Freedom Party:4
CSA:5
RC/CSA:7

The results have amounted to disastrous losses for the LSP who's leader is said to be considering resigning. There are rumours that tonight One Goldecias leader was sacked for the disastrous results , especially as One Goldecia were hoping to gain their first council. Leadership elections in One Goldecia are expected to take place over the next month with a possibly more moderate leader coming to the helm.

June 2027:
One Goldecia Radical Change
Posted Image
In shock news the new leader of One Goldecia was announced today after the battle between more extreme Richard Brown and the more nationalist moderate James Blacksmith. The shift shows a ideological shift. In his speech he outlined the future direction of the party . He said "Fellow Goldecians I present to you our new name Nationalist Goldecia Party. We will proudly support Nationalism but there are problems in our party we cannot deny. I for a long time have said that the obcession with avelists and sentients is not only not healthy but is not what Goldecia wants in the polls. We can no longer ignore such large swathes of our population and even actively hate them. This is going to change , if you are avelist, if you are sentient we welcome you to us. We also will be working to get rid of the anti-avelist and sentient extremists in our party. Any person in the future who says such remarks will be fired and we ask that those who aren't of this moderate position leave. Instead its time we focused on the main issues facing Goldecia, Immigration , protection of our culture and protection of our moral decency with this in mind we announce our new policies.

We will support work visas making sure that companies have to search for 6 months before importing talent from abroad and advertising the job abroad with only a few exemptions to the rule including extra points if you have a required skill. On the matter of cultural protection and moral decency we have a sick society, we have people buying sex , drugs, alcohol abuse and finally the scourge of gay marraige now all of these we will fight against in law. We will propose getting rid of gay marriage and introducing a law that gay propoganda is illegal with no promotion of such lifestyles in our schools. On drugs we will outlaw cannabis as well as restrict alcohol advertising to reduce abuse of both substances while prostitution will be outlawed to protect those exploited by this sexist industry in Goldecia that is only polluting the morality in Goldecia and this is evidenced by the scandal involving a certain former prime minister. We we promise to work to put Goldecians first, promote patriotism and overall become a nationalist party open for all Goldecians who believe in our common values.Please today join Nationalist Goldecia Party. Finally I call for an end to violence and appologise for some members past actions towards the King and more importantly his brother Prince Edmund , what we did was wrong and no boy should have to go through that and its only a sign of how uncivilized we were that we put a young boy through so much, now is also the time to appologise to all those patriotic Avelists and Sentients for what we have done to them over time. I say to them come and join us , support Goldecia and moral values by joining our party you are not just welcome but invited."

The party is also to reform its youthwing.

After the shock announcement a new group has been formed breaking away from the now Nationalist Goldecia Party a new group formed called True Goldecians. The party founded by Richard Brown the rival to the newly elected party leader . The party is seen as One Goldecia reborn but concerningly has been seen to be even more extreme though less potentially dangerous than One Goldecia. The party announced its aim was to "purify" Goldecia.

Graphene the future?


In news today Graphene research has took a step forward. It has long been known that Graphene could revolutionise technology allowing for smaller power storage units , better computing power and to make stronger products. The only problem is however faced with a production problem with researchers scratching their heads on how to produce it. Scientists James Hobb and Hank White at Brummagem University have suggested a technique that could be applied on a bigger scale. The researchers have emphasised this is not a mass production method yet and that graphene could still be decades away. However a breakthrough in potential production methods has been hailed as an important step. The government announced they want to put more money into graphene research to find the best ways of production for mass production techniques. The university has indicated it would let other universities combine efforts to advance the research of this important future technology.

Kolhar cracks down on peaceful protesters

Footage has come out this week of a crackdown of a peaceful protest by the political Damah Aika Sasao Qoraro in Kolhar. The Kolhari fascist government this week cracked down on the daring protest outside the Kolhari Advancement Parties hq. Damah Aika Sasao Qoraro and its leader Kaha Parakimete have been protesting for democracy and paid a heavy price with most protesters having been sent to the dreaded penal camps after refusing to back down from protesting. Kaha Parakimete sent this email correspondance to us today via an aunonymous account. "Kolhar have been oppressing us with many movement leaders paying a high price with either them or their family being arrested for merely saying they don't like authoritarianism. We are fighting hard and I have lost my children in the penal camp system as have many of our leaders who were lucky enough to get away.I today call on governments in the outside world to do something. I'm not talking about boots on the ground , war is good for nothing. But pressure the government.Put trade embargoes in place, stop the Kolhari leaders from travelling until they allow true freedom in Kolhar. Please support my opressed people and the lower classes or 2nd class who are treated like dirt just because they were not born to the right person.Please help us."

We will have more as it comes in from abroad.
