5th January 2029: Mission Accomplished ![]() In news today following the agreement , election announcements and return of the navy fleet to Goldecian shores. Jane Summers declared "mission accomplished" . She spoke to the media today about the operations in the war. In the press conference she said "The mission has been accomplished. Our brave armed forces went to free a country from an oppressive brutal regime and defend our citizens. Tragically many of our citizens did not make it out but that price was worth it. We could have backed down, we could have appeased but all that would have happened then is the issues would have been kicked down the road. I today praise the Admirals and everyone down to the officer Cadets who fought so hard along with our brave army and airforces still in Abere today for their role in promoting and giving freedom to Abere. I am happy that the Abere we leave behind is better than the old Abere, yes it will have economic challenges but the values of freedom, democracy and justice are priceless. Never will we back down on these principles for a small economic gain. Never will we fail to back the side of liberty , justice and freedom." The ceremony in Seamouth was attended by his majesty King Peter I and all of the royals in Goldecia as well as opposition parties who all supported the troops and all but one backed the sentiment of the Prime minister.

20th March 2029: Local Elections Revolution ![]() Today Local Government Minister Peter Baggins announced this year the local elections are to be delayed to November due to an agreed reorganisation of how local elections are run. The change is the biggest to in 80 years with the current yearly elections for local authorities with one third of the council seats being elected every year being replaced by elections every 3 years. From this year elections for the full councils will take place every three years instead of electing councils in thirds. Proponents of the changes among all the major parties have united behind the changes. It has been argued the new system is cheaper due to the elections being every three years and will allow for smaller constituencies in local elections and will create more stability as councils can now plan budgets for 3 years not only the current year. King Peter I signed the new local government act this evening with the act due to take effect within the month. Elections will go back to May 5th after the present election to make sure future elections are in line with current election dates. |

21st May 2029: Soldier of Ketiv increase Attacks ![]() The Soldiers of Ketiv increased their attacks this week. The group that began in 2028 has worried Goldecia and the world with its rapid build up in little over a year. The organisation has vowed to attack those who "commit heresy or support the gay lifestyle". The church has took aim primarily at the ICS church with it being responsible for the murder of Josh and Zachary James and the attempted murder of the entire James family. The group has so far committed 50 acts of terror within Goldecia in 2029 ranging from bomb attacks to assassinations. The group is now of international concern and has boasted that it has international cells willing to die for ketiv and fight around the world. The deeply orthodox terrorist group committed some of its most deadly one day attacks today with attacks of 4 major ICS churches in Millerainia and the Goldecian embassy killing over 300 people. The group stated on their video "We will fight to the end, if you are not with us you are against us and if you support heresies such as the ICS you are on our target list. You will go to hell early. We today vow that by 2030 Prince Edmund , the Mizrahi Abbotts and the James will all be dead, we will hunt you down and kill you. You will feel pain before you go to hell.We also condemn Carpathia ,Akitsu and Falsea. We vow these societies will feel the wrath of Ketiv, you will be attacked and we will win the war." The Goldecian government has today contacted the respective governments of Carpathia and Moldova, Monroe , Akitsu , Falsea and Millerainia in light of the growing threat of orthodox terrorism to Goldecia and Oracia. The government released a statement saying "We will fight this terrorism and win. The Soldiers of Ketiv will have nowhere to hide and will be brought to justice." The ICS church today asked that the world not blame the attacks on orthodox salbanism saying "It is well known we have our areas of disagreement but to place the blame of these attacks and attrocities on the orthodox church would be an inappropriate response. This is not an attack by orthodox salbanists but a terror campaign by rogue extreme elements of the Salbanist church.We call for all people to love our Salbanist brothers."

25th May 2029: Polls show earthquake in Political landsacpe ![]() The first polls since the withdrawal of union funding for the centre left Liberal Socialist Party and the founding of the socialist TUSC have come out today. The results showed a political earthquake with radical changes for both the left and the nationalists. The new polls showed the parties on the following percentages in the run up to the delayed November Council elections. Royal Conservatives(centre right):32% Salbanist Democratic Alliance(conservative):4% Liberal Socialist Party:8% Republican:0.5% Liberal Party:11% Freedom Party(national conservative on law and order and liberal socially):18.9% One Goldecia(Nationalist): 11% TUSC:14% True Goldecia:0.1% Independents/others:0.5% The results have shown the TUSC being a huge draw for some of the left wing with the left now having the TUSC as the major part in its movement. Meanwhile The Royal Conservative voteshare seems to have held with the Freedom Party vote and Salbanist Democratic Alliance share having switched to the now nationalist One Goldecia party. The sudden rise of One Goldecia has been attributed to its new more moderate nationalist leader with it now merely being the part toughest on law and order and the most strict on immigration.

November 1st, 2029: Jane Summers condemns risin kholodic terrorism in Abere In news today Jane Summers lambasted the Kholodic terrorist groups and cells in the Kholodic Republic. Jane summers used PM question time in the House of Commons to announce a radical governmental policy change on the Artvelia issue. The PM's speech went on on for about 10 minutes. We will break down the important exerts. "To the people of Abere I appologise , I made a big mistake that cost many of your people and secular Artvelians their lives. Be assured we did so with the best of intentions , we only wanted a free , secular Artvelia that woud peacefully co-exist with Abere for the betterment of all. It was never our intention to lend even moral support to those who would kill people for simply being the wrong ethnicity or religion. What is going on in Artvelia is wrong and immoral and we can no longer stand by and watch as sapient rights are so blatantly disregarded." The main points made were: 1:Goldecia will support independence when and only when a legal referendum under no pressure is conducted and Artvelian sapient rights violations cease. 2:Any group found guilty of breaching sapient rights intentionally and conducting illegal violent campaigns will be classified as terrorists under Goldecian law 3:Goldecia would like to see talks take place as to how a peaceful transition to a referendum could be made possible. 4:Goldecia will support Abere in any capacity in anti-terrorism operations against violent armed Kholidic groups. The policy has been backed by all major parties with it being seen as a honest admission of a mistake in the war against Abere. King Peter has requested to visit victims of Kholidic terrorists to show his support for those who have suffered as a result of the flawed Goldecian policy. |

November 11th, 2029: A night of opposites ![]() Goldecias council election shocked analysts last night as voters moved to the extremes of far-left and far-right in Goldecia. The council election last yesterday resulted in surprising coalitions within councils as all parties tried to stop Nationalist Goldecia getting into power in councils and refused to work with the nationalist party. The situation in Derventio even resulted in a Royal Conservative-TUSC coalition. The election surprised many with three main trends appearing as the night went on. In the first results Nationalist Goldecia won there first council going on to win two more including Westland County Council later on in the night. The results shocked many who never expected to see the nationalists win councils outright. The night also brought to an end single party politics in councils as more coalitions had to be formed to govern this year due to the TUSC's rise and voters abandoning the Salbanist Democratic Alliance and Freedom Party in favour of Nationalist Goldecia. The Nationalist Goldecia leader commented "The people have spoken, its time to get off the liberal , pro-gay agenda and return to the proper salbanist roots of the country and to restore Goldecia to its former glory.We will deliver and we will make our councils truly pro-goldecian." Jane Summers who's party swept up 30.8% of the seats ahead of the TUSC's 23.8% of the seats said "I am pleased Royal Conservatives vote share held up. We will continue to deliver efficient governance and bring the highest quality services for less of your money.However we very much wish our fellow right wing parties luck in getting back on their feet. History will judge a shift to the far-right to be a monumental mistake. We condemn the Nationalist Goldecias announced policies of stopping gay marriages in their councils and stopping support for pride." The Nationalist Goldecia Party and its leader James Blacksmith celebrated after the conclusion of council elections. He has announced he will visit all three Nationalist Goldecia councils. He condemned the major parties "opression of the peoples will" saying the moves to keep out his party were "desperate and undemocratic". He pledged to bring corporal punishment back into local schools and to do all he can to curb gay pride and gay marraige in his councils. The election results can be seen in full on the GBC website. The ammount of seats won were as follows: Results 2029: Royal Conservatives(centre right):922 Salbanist Democratic Alliance(conservative):262 Liberal Socialist Party:397 Republican:5 Liberal Party:324 Freedom Party(national conservative on law and order and liberal socially):392 Nationalist Goldecia Party (Nationalist):332 TUSC:712 True Goldecia:2 Total Seats:2,990 seats Edited by Brum Brum, Oct 9 2014, 01:04 PM.

The prince has been rumoured to have links with the princess due to the amount of time he has spent in Andreas after his holiday there earlier this year. It is reported that he fell in love quickly during the first holiday and has been dating ever since.The Kingdom of Goldecia has celebrated the good news today with pottery companies and shops announcing new royal wedding ranges to be released once the date is finalised and location is finalised.It is understood that the couple will spend time in both Goldecia and Andreas. King Peter I spoke to us today saying "I am overjoyed for my brother that he has found love after all he has been through. I am proud of my brother and he is beautiful inside and out and he has finally got the princess he deserves.I wish Lady Onoriao and Edmund the very best of luck for the future." Poiliticians across the spectrum celebrated the good news and supported the couple publicly.However True Goldecia today said "We are saddened that this freak is now going to pollute another family. Quite frankly this traitor to his faith and therefore his country deserves nothing more than to be in a coffin."

January 6th, 2030: Goldecia urges all sides to calm down Today the prime minister Jane Summers released a statement about the Carpathia-Batavia situation and the worlds reaction to carpathian policies. Her statement said "Governments of the world and Carpathia we urge calm in the current situation. Many world events are causing instability and conflict between major powers will not benefit anyone.The world needs to stay united in the fight against extremists lik D'hara. However while we support the principle of our friends in Carpathia to help defend their ally in United Chieftains as part of a TA operation we believe the operation needs to be primarily TA led. We understand Carpathias desire to help but it needs to remember it can only do so much and that there are diplomatic protocols that need observing. We hope our friends can meet these protocols and restructure policy so that there is more of a diplomacy first policy. We believe Carpathia can and encourage it to so it can protect its interests. We believe Carpathia can as it has done in the past do good in the fight against terrorism and extremism. Meanwhile we need to adress the outside world reaction. I believe as does my party all sides need to come to a discussion around the table. Embargoes everywhere will not help. In fact it might just create more tension and lead to more conflict , something that would result in a tragic loss of lives. We very much encourage both our friends and the world to come to an agreement that suits all nations." Edited by Brum Brum, Oct 14 2014, 11:32 AM.
