President to Travel Globally

Today, President Kish IV announced that he will being travelling the globe to offically attempt to un-isolate Kishonia for the first time in almost a century. President Kish also announced that he will be temporarily opening the borders to the Kishonian mainland, opening up business and tourism opportunities. The Senators Court, whom will take over command for the time being, will bump up security relations withe the tourism on its way to ensure that all tourists who come in, come out also. Senator Hollind stated that this makes sure that no Kishonian jobs are taken away from rightful citizens. Today is a fantastic day for our President and our nation to spread Kishonian culture to all. Maybe in the near future, just maybe we will be able to open our borders completely for tourists and business more. Multiple Tours are being set up in the meantime to occupy our guests of honor to show the true beauty of Kishonian Culture.

"I have made the decision to travel around the world, not for fun though. I want to increase trade but at the same time keep our main industries intact so jobs are not taken away from us. I still have not decided on which nation is best for a trade-based travel. I will be making a final decision in a couple of days. During the Travel, I will be accompanied by Senator Tenna, Senator Marisson, and Senator-Judge Jarion. During flight, my airliner will be escorted by four I-5 Tursteners until we enter another nation's airspace. This is a safety precaution i have taken on myself. The Senators Court will be given total authority of the nation while i am gone. I will still give orders from afar so that my people know that i haven't abandoned them completely. When i come back, we will be a new nation. No longer will isolation be a problem for business opportunities. No longer will this nation be in the shadow of Oracia. All for one, and one for all. Thank you"

The President's speech has excited and worried multiple citizens. A lot of them who were worried said that jobs are still at sake even when security is bumped up. While on the other hand, excited people cannot wait to meet new people for the first time and learn their cultures.

I see a problem though, Kishonia hasn't been in contact with other nations for almost a full century. How will the nations treat our president? How will he react to different cultures? Are the Military Escorts necessary? We will have to see how it unfolds and hope it doesn't crash and burn. By: Gerrit Vicebin, Journalist of The Merrinsberg Journal, January 2, 2028

Contingency Drills Begin, President to Travel to Aurentina In June By: Gerrit Vicebin


With the President announcing his desire to travel to Aurentina, he has ordered his Air force to begin contigency drills for escort his Airliner to the border of Aurentina with two I-5 Interceptors this morning. President Kish stated that this was necessary for safety reasons. We all know you are going to be safe Mr.President, but going this far in safety is a bit ridiculous if i say so myself.

Military Funding increases to support the I-10 Project By: Francis Talipo

Posted Image
With the Increase in military funding, Kishonia should expect to see more I-10 Interceptors off the production line. Though military officials say that the I-10 "Schwerer-jager" will still be in testing phase for the next few months. The I-5 will eventually retire its 30-year interceptor career to the I-10. No confirmed number has been announced on how many are actually in the assembly line as of now. The I-10 project has been classified as a "very successful" project by Kishonia Aviation's lead test pilot, Mark Ceentis. Mark, who has flown prototype planes for 20 years, has said that the I-10 is faster than anything he has flown before, as well as being extremely manueverable.

Kishonia to launch first Communications Satellite
Posted Image
With Kishonia coming out of isolation sooner or later, the Senators Court with the approval of President Kish, they have decided to fund Satellite Technology to communicate with other nations across the globe. This will create thousands of jobs vacant for the unemployed. Multiple sources also tell us that Kishonia will benefit from this program as it will increase tourism to our nation, causing a boom in our economic coffers. Security Officer Harrin Gretcher says that Security will double if tourism becomes a thing in Kishonia.


Government-Run Industries such as Kishonia Armaments will open for international trading

Kishonia's own Weapons manufacturer Kishonia Armaments is to expand their business upon the open trade law that is going to be in effect in the next couple months.

The University of Grinsberg expects highest graduation rate of 98% this year, an all-time high.

Posted Image The Dean of the Univesity of Grinsberg has spoken to us about how high the graduation rate is this year, overwhelmed by the fact that about 75% of the students made high honors.

"The way my excellent professors teach, I knew this coming semester was going to have a high graduation rate, but this high? I guarantee that all of my graduating students this year will go on to do great things. I cannot wait for next year."

Asking one of the graduating students, they stated that what helped them do so good is a new studying technique that was quick and easy, only taking about 2 days to memorize her notes. This is great news to all the employers out there looking for university graduates this year. This also might have been a factor when the Senators Court approved the budget President Kish proposed with an increase in education, foreign affairs, military, and healthcare, but with a drastic decrease in Science.

Three fishing boats have gone missing off the coast of Port Santerhill, questions arise.

Local fishing boats off the shores of Port Santerhill have gone missing, local police have began an investigation to what happened to the boats. Locals suggest they were out later than usual and must have gotten lost at sea.



Petrol prices to lower by 70% due to newly found oil reserves

Due to the high amounts of oil found off shore of Port Mygen, you should expect Petrol prices and Oil prices to drastically decrease.

Two more Fishing boats missing off of Port Santerhill, local police call for investigation
Posted Image
Two more fishing vessels have com up missing, as investigation is underway. Patrol officer stated that these disappearings are most likely due to drunks lost at sea, but I think otherwise. I believe that there is more to this happening, how can drunks be lost at sea with a clear path back to the Port? There is something stirring up that i think might get the KDF Involved. The mayor of Port mygen has temporarily shut down the Port for investigation to begin. In he mean time, all we can do is watch and wait until things clear up


Senators Court to reduce gun taxes by 50% and unban semi-automatic rifles within the next six months


Talks begin on Military funding, as if it needs to be toned down.

Port Santerhill SHUTDOWN, Pirates take hostage of 16 fishermen

Posted Image
After little investigation, a police boat was sent out to the last known location of these fishing vessels. About 10 miles out in the sea, a large group of boats with armed men on board. Identifying themselves the "Pirates of Port Santerhill", They demanded a hefty ransom for the lives of the men on the boats. They stated if One billion Kishonian Credits weren't sent over to them, they will kill all the fishermen aboard. The Kishonian Navy have surrounded the boats, planning on not paying the ransom. They will have to take forceful measures to stop this act of piracy.

"We won't negotiate with these so-called 'Pirates'. They think they can get away with taking 16 fishermen hostage and come out alive? I don't think these guys realize who they are messing with."

Stated by Admiral Hector Matinson. They have set up Marksmen around the group of boats ready to take them out at the same time. In the meantime "Negotiations" are being held to steady the process of taking these guys out



With elections around the corner, and the president travelling, how will President Kish be elected again?

Off Shore dispute with Pirates ends with no casualties, fishermen safe

Posted Image
This stand-off that began a few days ago has ended, the pirates opened fire mid-afternoon that day. Continuing into the night and all day yesterday. They eventually raised the white flag this morning. They will be put on trial next weekend for severe acts of violence, acts of piracy, vandalism of private property, holding citizens captive, and resisting justice.

The Fishermen's damaged boats are being fully insured and all of them should expect some compensation for all the damages done to the vessels.

Isolationism deems no more hold upon Kishonia
Posted Image
To our surprise, the President and Senators Court have agreed to, in advance, opened the borders to the world for the first time in half a century. Kishonian citizens that have been waiting to travel across the globe is now possible. Also, the Kishonian Web Services have now been put down and the world-wide web is now accessible for all to explore.

Upon the opening of the borders, the nation faces one grave factor to Kishonian lifestyle, immigrants. The Senate has begun to write up immigration laws for those on the outside who wish to move to Kishonia. Tourism is something that Kishonia has not experienced in a long, long time. Hopefully later on, tourists will have a lot of fun that they might come back to visit a second time.


The Communications Satellite has been nearly finished, so expect more internet speed in the next couple of months.

Satellite Launch to be televised live

It was announced about two days ago that the Communications Satellite, Bolo, will be offically televised live on your local stations.

President knows that his people wouldn't vote for someone who is not of the Kish Bloodline

President Kish is comfortable with the fact that his people haven't betrayed him in the last 6 elections they have held. But with his absence to travel globally DURING elections may prove him wrong.

"No one knows this country better than me.. Nobody. I know when it is my time to leave office and that day will not come until someone blows away election results. I feel if I, or any of my children were not elected, this nation would fall."


Man Kills Twelve Wolves in a Wolf Sanctuary, manhunt begins

Posted Image
A man by the name of Jarlvich is currently being hunted down by Kishonian police for allegedly killing twelve Kishonian Wolves in their Sanctuary. For all who don't know, the Kishonian Wolf is a endangered species with only about one hundred left in the wild. Commiting such acts can be charged with Inhumane acts of violence. Which can get you put in prison for life.

Pirates identified with a symbol of the Anarchist "Cult" stating that the time of Governance is about to come to an end

After the Acts of Piracy off shore of Port Santerhill, they were interrogated about their actions.

" It is high time that people of Kishonia have a taste of their own medicine, the government will fall. Kill me, I don't care. But we will rise against this so-called government. Once the government is gone, we will rule over these lands with an iron fist".

Said the pirate during one of many interrogations. Frankly, this guy is nuts. We have no idea how many people there is in this "cult". I believe we can count on our government to rule these people out and bring them to justice. A group hasn't been this vocal ever since the Port massacre in 1954.

Kishonia Aviation unveils Next Gen stealth fighter

Posted Image

The KASF Chieftain is a state-of-the-art Stealth Fighter designed to hunt other stealth fighters in the vicinity. It has been under development since January of 2021, ever since the idea of a stealth jet hunter came into the Senators court after President Kish's Paranoia breakdown. The classifications are to remain classified for a very long time until this fighter is to be on the frontlines of any future wars.

What we do know is that the fighter is capable of of Stratosonic speeds in afterburner (Mach 3.5+). A Special G suit is also in the works to counteract the gravity that punishes pilots on extremely tight turns ( Up to 20Gs). Some say that the Chieftain won't be in service until this special suit is produced (Kinda like the KA-100 Astronaut-like suit).

Manhunt continues, Police have found no trace of the Wolf-killer yet.

Satellite Launch next week, tune in on your local News Station

Satellite Launch failure! Fuel leak leads to Thruster malfunction.

Posted Image

The KCS ARC I Communications Satellite has failed to launch yesterday. When televised, the Satellite seemed to be a smooth ride all the way up until the thrusters exploded about 1000m after its initial launch. After further investigation, the only way the thrusters to malfunction and explode was a fuel leak. The Scientists behind the mission have accepted full responsibility and should expect a huge fine for carelessness of the project.


President Kish halts the manhunt of Wolf killer Jarlvich for securing the Sanctuary and bringing in more security measures.

Senator Hollind calls for extensive imports
Posted Image

Today Senator Gregory Hollind gave a speech about wanting more imports coming in for our economy to bloom more than it is now. He said that "Bringing more imports could help our economy become more stablized than it is today". Many people were highly against that. One of them saying, "Having more imports of the same industry that Kishonia has means more Kishonian Jobs at stake." Who can't agree with that statement? I mean come on Mr. Hollind, are you a capitalist? I believe the last capitalist in Kishonia was in the 19th Century. The only thing that Kishonia needs is to participate in the international community. President Kish visiting the Prime Minister of Aurentina is the first step into becoming apart of the International World Stage.

Jarlvich Captured, trial is underway
Posted Image

Jarlvich Syrigorev, who allegedly killed twelve endangered Kishonian Wolves in their Sanctuary has been found and convicted with inhumane acts of violence. Trials will be before Senator Judge Gareth Morrisson this coming weekend. Protesters everywhere are beginning to rile up the security of the sanctuaries for our endangered species. With the rise of Protesting, the Senators Court calls upon Police to take care of the radical protesters everywhere.

Kishonian Secret Police, Myth or Fact?
Posted Image

Conspiracy Theorists Believe that under order from the First president of Kishonia Stephen Kish I after the port massacre, he ordered taht a Secret Police code named, "Men of Black". This idea has been around since the capture of the Madhouse Murderer in the 1980s, because how fast the suspect was found and how his trial sent him into exile. The idea is now even more compelling that even someone claimed to be a MOB Agent.

Of the 200 Billion Spent on developing the satellite, KCS ARC II, the funding runs dry until some form of support is brought before Kishonia.

Budget Cuts on Welfare, Taxes slighty toned down.

With the increase of immigrants coming into Kishonia, President Kish and the Senators Court co-op with eachother to perform a "Hospitality" act to ensure immigrants are comfortable with their surroundings and what not. With that being said, the president is also cracking down upon welfare, in fear that the economy will fall if immigrants began taking welfare checks without jobs. Surely though, taxes slightly decreased to congregate the amount of immigrants, which caused a cut of the budget, cutting welfare down from 5% to 2.5%. Lots of Retired men and women question the decision, but the Court and president reensure them that this is only temporary.

Mass Murder in Yuridock neighborhood, 20 dead and 3 injured. Suspects still at large.

During the night in Yuridock about 2 days ago, a group of murderers ravaged the neighborhood of Grenndocks in Yuridock, 20 people were murdered and 3 were injured. The suspects are revealed to be apart ofa group named "Kishonian Anarchist Party." Police agents are on full alert and encourages people to lock their homes and stay indoors at night for the time being until these murderers are caught and executed. Protesting in Yuridock sought out the KAC (Kishonian Army Corps.) for immediate action against the group. Legislation has been denied approval of mobilization of the troops to catch these cultists and are left with the police departments around the country to protect the citizens of Kishonia.
