The Duchy of James's Island, controlled by the Grand Emperor's brother, Lucas Targaryen( More commonly known as Duke Luke), has gone dark. All communications between the Duke's palace and the Red Keep have been cut off. Investigations show that no signals are originating from the island and the military presence there cannot be reached. The administration, through the use of drones, had observed that life there seems to go on unhindered, before the drones were shot down. This Twilight Zone-esque scenario will be further investigated and the world will be kept up to date.


An issue has arisen between the Grand Emperor's two children. His first-born and male issue, Prince David Michael Targayen, has raised eyebrows by publicly objecting to his father's personal tutelage of his daughter, Princess Marilyn Targaryen. The Prince fears that this is a sign that Elizabeth is his desired successor and has called out to his countrymen and who he hopes to be his future subjects to reject her. He has stated that it is "his right" and the "right of his people" for him to rule. He believes strongly that a woman would be unfit to rule the Loxan Empire and uses the fact that he was born first to further justify his claim to the throne.

With the United Kingdoms of Apepistan signing the Moscow Peace Treaty, the Korreaan war is finally over - officially too, in the United Kingdoms. According to traditions, celebrations were held around the whole nation; in Konzbator, Ahet-Apep LII led the military parade himself, along with the allied leadership.
There, the Crown Prince of Artite, Prince William Niston, and the Generals leading the troops of Artitie and Eurussia during the war received Apopic medals of honor, and the Crown Prince was presented with a ceremonial sabre, traditionally given to the allies of Apepistan who answered the call to arms. This event officially marks the end of the Korreaan War for the United Kingdoms of Apepistan.

Lead Researcher Paulus Atrius Vulso has also come out with reports on similar meteor showers to occur in the future.

Paulus Atrius Vulso wrote:According to our observations of asteroid patterns, we've predicted that another impact will most likely occur in the Danaster area around the middle of February and another at around mid to late May. If we're lucky, we may see more of this interesting material and other objects in the near future. Needless to say, I think most everyone of us researching this has some inkling to pick them apart.

"My children, my lambs, God has sent his coming to the pagan heretics in that wasteland of a nation, New Rhodinia. Time has come that they face God's punishment on them for not believing in his word. The most holy rock that rained from the heavens has come to cleanse the corrupted ways of the blasphemers and to smite down those who do not believe in his divinity. I call upon all good and faithful Catholics to pray to God to punish the infidels who think they can solve the puzzle that is God's work. Our destinies have been laid before us already. Judgement day is where all of our destinies end, and that day has come. My lambs you must protect yourself from the heathens that call themselves the allies of the greatest Empire in the entire world. This great and holy empire is God's land, he has walked among us long ago praising our wars against those who seek to defy him. Now we must come to his demand for the slaying of infidels and rise up against the heretics. Rise up again

Scottish Parliament debates on changing the Republic's neutrality stance in foreign affairs

The radical member of the Scottish Nationalist Party has filed a resolution calling for a comprehensive review of the Scottish Government's neutrality foreign policy. This is in light of the recent happenings unfolding in the Security Council where Scouting, who recently won the Vice President, is aggressively kicking nations out of the Security Council on the pretext of their independent votes in the body. MP Ducker said, "It is very disrespectful for the people of our great republic that foreign forces are taking advantage of our neutral policy to remove us from the Security Council's seat we deserve. It is now the right time to check if neutrality remains the best foreign doctrine of our Scottish nation."

Phillip Hammond, the Minister for Foreign Affairs-Russia could face 10 Months in jail for recent anti-Eurussia Comments. If charged he could face 10 months to 24 months in jail. Recently a video was posted to the Foreign Ministry Website that showed the Foreign Minister saying "The Empire of Eurussia is the most corrupt country on the planet. Their Chancellor is a dictator who is ignorant of all facts except on how to oppress his people. Their entire government is a disgrace." According to the Russian Alliances Act of 1997 anyone who threatens to disrupt any alliance between Russia and other foreign nation can be jailed without warrant. The Office of the Chancellor has released no statement on whether they will charge Mr.Hammond or not.

"This is simply amazing news. In 25 years we have advanced far. Our people started out as a a people afraid to speak their own mind. Now we sit here as a symbol of freedom. Our economy shows it. Through the hard world of the people we have been able to accomplish this. But we must not forget those who aided us. Our greatest ally Eurussia and our other friends around the world, we thank you."

* Department of Defense to increase spending *

President Walker Brush supported the Department of Defense at Congress to increase spending this is to protect the country against terrorism and external threats. The Secretary of Defense said the federal government will focus on navy and air force and as well as army so the entire US Armed Forces will be equipped with best technology, training, and weapons. He also said that MEU must also help its allies around the world including NATO and anti-Terrorist Organization to achieve its objectives and increase influence.

After the brief war with the Mawati in the Gragal Valley, there has been a second incident regarding a new paramilitary group that most of the World Alliance would classify as a terrorist organization. The "Sons of the Holy Spirit" have begun bombings in the the Gragal Valley killing hundreds. After what seemed like a few weeks of peace the S.H.S's soldiers came down into the valley on all sides and massacred thousands of Mawati. The Empire has called this atrocity a "sickening disgrace" to all Christians however no physical action has been taken at the moment against the Radical Christian organization. Estimated number of members ranges from 500-3,000 armed and well trained members. The small garrison in the Gragal Valley were unable to hold off the attack and defend the Mawati people. Here is the response given to the people of the Empire by the Imperial Crown Prince William Niston;

"Artite supports the struggle of the Christians in the Gragal Valley who have been under oppression by the majority pagan population in our northern provinces. However their actions today have been a black mark on all Christians, to slaughter thousands in unprovoked attacks all through out the world. However, Artite will stand hand in hand with the Sons of the Holy Ghost against the pagan vengeance killing. Neither side is innocent both sides are in the wrong. But if it is to come down to the Ethnic Artitians living in the Gragal Valley or the Mawati, the Empire will defend her citizens against all threats. Good night and God bless the Empire"

Boris Yeltsin Dead at 84

Boris Yeltsin, the last President of Soviet Russia and first Prime Minister of Russia is dead at the age of 84. Yeltsin is often regarded as a Champion for Freedom as he oversaw the transition of power from a Communist Regime to a Democratic State. Boris Yeltsin was President of the USSR from 1985-1990 and PM of the Russian Empire from 1990-1995.

Boris Yeltsin was a defender of freedom and human rights right from the moment he took office in 1985. When he was President of Soviet Russia he oversaw many changed to Russian Lifestyle. The people got the right to vote, the people were awarded proper food and healthcare, free education, among many other things. However in 1994 Yeltsin was diagnosed with Cancer keeping him from running for a second term as PM.

The Former Prime Minister was found dead in his hotel room in Moscow,Great Eurussia. A plane is soon expected to deliver the body of the late leader.

"Russia has lost a great person. Mr.Yeltsin was a great champion for Democracy and Human Rights. He over saw the transition of power in Russia from a Communist Regime to a Democratic State. Boris Yeltsin is a true hero to the Russian People. He will be greatly missed. May his legacy live on and his ideals of democracy,freedom, and justice last forever. We are all in mourning." said Chancellor Enda Kenny in an interview with RT News.

In a similar interview His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Charles I said "Boris was a great friend of mine. We went to the same school here in Moskva. While he was Soviet President I was one of his closest advisers. It was an honour serving alongside Boris. An honour I will never forget. Russia has truly lost a hero. He will never be forgotten."

All across Russia people have gathered in remembrance of the deceased leader. "May he stand at the right side of God in heaven." said a citizen in the streets of Moskva while in tears.

The news came today that Livia Maximus has obtained the same sickness found in Mercury Highway workers from the alien technology found at Danaster. Livia Maximus had recently led a final expedition to Danaster in the hopes that research will swiftly conclude on the unknown artifacts. Scientists alongside Livia noted that the probable cause of the exposure was a rupture in a protective suit while she handled the artifacts directly. Livia's symptoms surfaced about 30 minutes after exposure: coughing up blood and intense shaking of the hands.

However, scientists are baffled at the low amount of symptoms from Livia's exposure. "The original workers on Merucry's Highway experienced a far wider range of symptoms when exposed to the artifacts. This included irregular bowel activity, difficulty breathing, fevers, blurred vision and a whole swath of other symptoms. They were consistent with the original exposures, but Livia has shown to have a much more... 'tolerable' response to the artifacts."

It is also worth noting that Livia has begun to act very strangely apart from those around her. As she lay in bed in a nearby hospital in the coastal town of New Lutetia (about five miles East of Danaster), she has been reported to have gained "superpowers" of some kind. When handed a marble cup of water to drink from, the cup shattered upon her grabbing it slightly. Nurses have also reported that she had known they were approaching the room during checkups - far before they had even considered it a destination. Otherwise, Livia Maximus is in fair condition and will return to her duties in the coming days.

On-site workers have confirmed that the research has concluded and will be presenting the findings to the Senate within the week. However, Junius Maximus has suddenly begun retreating to his chambers more often then usual. His frequent disappearances to his chambers have put the Senate on edge, worrying that laws and other legislative and judicial matters will not progress as efficiently without his say. Queen Cornelia Maximus has responded to these events.

Queen Cornelia Maximus wrote:"Junius has fallen ill as well. He isn't feeling well enough to walk and has been in his bed, still busy on his papers. It's just the fever and slight coughing that has kept him from being as active he once was."

The nation of New Rhodinia is in a panic as once again, a succession crisis seems to be looming on the horizon. "What the fuck!" cried a citizen gripping his tablet with nervousness. "First the Imperial throne was in danger and now both the heir AND Emperor are endangered too!? Damn you, Junius Maximus I! Your shit got us here!" Other opinions have surfaced arguing that since Livia Maximus is in stable condition, she may very well take the throne in the case of Junius Maximus III dying.

Officials have asked for international support and prayers for the New Rhodinian emperor.

Pontifex Gallio Barrius Scato wrote:"We don't normally ask this of nations that aren't concerned, but we ask that you send your prayers to Junius Maximus III and his well-being. This is the lowest we've seen his health in years; he has singlehandedly shaped the World Alliance and led by example, inspiring millions upon billions of people to live in harmony and self-content. To us, this isn't just another leader whom we follow; this is a leader we respect and admire, and aspire to become at some point in our lives. His goal to become like his father has not come to pass and we would want nothing more in the world then to see his visions come into reality. Thank you."

* President Brush orders Homeland to fight terrorism *

President Walker Brush ordered Department of Homeland Security to strengthen operations and fight all suspected terrorist. This is to make America safe for all Americans. He also said that the federal government is continuing in investigating ISIS and no country can stop us to find out if this country is sponsoring terrorism. And promises MEU will stamp out terrorists in the world.

ISIS builds seawalls, fences and fortifications for security

Emir Abu Lakiptani ordered government to build seawalls to protect the country from high tides and rough seas and he also ordered government to build fences around the country borders to stop all illegal immigrants from entering the country. He also ordered government and military to increase troops and forts in all strategic places as security for the island country.

The Police of the United Kingdoms of Apepistan have tracked down and arrested the leader of an illegal underground organisation, the Red Fist, which is best described as anarchist, communist and anti-monarchy. The leader of the Red Fist was proven to be plotting a communist uprising against the monarch, Ahet-Apep LII, according to the evidence. A large amount of home-made explosives, weapons, and propaganda flyers and posters have been found in his countryside farmhouse. The criminal has been brought to Konzbator where he faced trial for terrorism, illegal arms trade, conspiracy against the United Kingdoms and the Monarch. He was found guilty, branded as a traitor, and was executed by hanging afterwards, with his body buried face down; according to the grim customs of how the Apopic people handle traitors. The Police and the United Militia are on alert ever since and are actively searching for co-conspirators and members of the Red Fist.



Soon after the news of the swift execution, a protest was held by various small communist organisations, with mostly immigrants and refugees from communist or ex-communist countries as organisers. The protest quickly turned violent, and the riot police responded accordingly, forcefully disbanding it. Nobody died during the riot, about a hundred people are injured and 248 people were arrested, including members of the organisers. The police are currently investigating the relations between the protest and the Red Fist. Even though the protest could be declared illegal and an act of treachery against the United Kingdoms and the King, due to it being a violent act directed against the Monarch and the integrity of Apepistan, no charges were pressed on this matter.
