This afternoon, in Merlberg, King Friederick Wilhelm participated to a very particular ceremony: the launching of the Prins Wilhelm, a perfectly-reconstructed replica of the original, famous Tarajani vessel.
His Majesty personally presented the vessel to the public (the House Van Vinkel has been one of the major financers of the project), in a ceremony not far from the Royal Palace of Merlberg.
Then, under the eyes of thousands of people, passionates of history or simply curious ones, the King launched the vessel with the traditional Tarajani ritual of the "sand on the bridge" (spreading sand on the bridge of the ship, as blessing not to see it covert by the water, and to see again the shores of Tarajan).
The wonderful vessel, reconstructed under the lead of the Royal Tarajan University and the Royal Academy of History and Fine Arts, will sail to Alleskanberg, then he will come back to Merlberg, where it will station and used as a mobile museum.




The Prince Wilhelm now in Merlberg (above) and an historical picture (below).

The Prins Wilhelm was the flagship of the Royal Tarajan Trade Company from 1678 to 1689 and of the Royal Tarajan Navy from that date until 1702, when it sunk during the Battle of Teroe, which saw the Tarajani squadron soundly defeated by vessels of the Antanaresian East Company in the last fight of the War of the Two Rivers (1699-1702) between the two countries (the last fought between them).
Before sinking, the ship became famous for being the first Tarajani vessel to reach the actual Vorikheim Sea.

The government declares military budget increase by 1.8 billion yen for the national security reason due to rising tensions between it's allies and as the government seeks to develop more high-tech weapons and to beef up coastal and air defenses.

CASTLE LUCE CAELI OPENED TO PUBLIC



Aequilus
The Castle Luce Caeli, located in the Aequilus province, has recently been opened to the general public by the Ministry of Tourism. The Castle was commissioned in 1886, and was finished some ten years later, and has been maintained by the government as a retreat for the elite for some time. Recently though, the Castle has fallen into disuse, and the public took up an outcry for it to be a tourist destination. The city it overlooks is a popular tourist destination, and the castle opening will likely draw hundreds more tourists per year.

Government and cultural organizations are celebrating Independence Day with a slew of activities in Fujinomiya and across the Imperial Tokugawa. Below are some of the events they have lined up, from a schedule provided by the FHMIT (Federal Historical Ministry of the Imperial Tokugawa).

Adriana Limel's approval rating soars as Greater Yellasia improves in multiple categories



Greater Yellasia's Prime Minister Adriana Limel was elected on the promise of peace, prosperity, and cooperation. Her initial reception- and the reception of the Green Party as a whole- was mixed due to the perceived ineffectiveness of the party's policies and Limel's somewhat confined role as a strong leader.

Now her approval rating has reached 90%, as her policies- and other policies put in place under her leadership have made drastic improvements as time has passed. Several reforms were made to increase health, education, and economic standards. Growth has picked up, and the major increase in funding towards health, education, transportation, innovation, and welfare were only accompanied by small tax increases since the systems became more efficient. Huskdor- long the most undeveloped constituent country of Greater Yellasia- has become much more well off and less dependent on aid to maintain adequate living standards. The Low Republic still has much work to do (it is still one of the most corrupt nations in the region), but is no longer among the most polluted and most dangerous in the world. The national animal rights movement, led by the famous Brutus, has also created more trust in the Yellasian government.

She still has her opponents, though. Many conservatives feel her policies have restricted economic freedom, and her immigration policy is strongly detested by many Yellasians. The foreign born population of Yellasia has passed 28%.

There is also increasing fear over the stability of her peace-oriented foreign policy revolving around self-determination. The Dromodian-Kennylandish crisis has effectively forced her administration to choose between one or the other, and the decision to 'cockblock' Dromoda has sparked major controversy in Yellasia's political scene. The crisis is seen as the ultimate test for Limel's foreign policy.

New Radical Communist party becomes increasingly vocal

Today The Union of Socialist American Nations Communist Party held rallies in the capital of Denver in order to gain support. Their leader has not yet come forward but it seems the party is hyper-nationalistic, with plans to incorporate Huskdor into the nation. The group has voiced their intentions to violently take USAN if necessary. In order to draw more followers it also seems that they have adopted Soviet Bear as their mascot to gain more support from the people, playing on the people's great love of Bears.

Both First Consul John McCain and Second Consul George Patton have yet to make statements.

King Jack's butler predicts the fall of Yellasia; man claims to have seen Carl Cockatoo



Strange things are happening in Yellasia. The butler for King Jack; the most prestigious hospitality related position in the country, claims that King Jack told him that Yellasia is soon to fall.

Similarly, the fabled bird, Carl Cockatoo, who many Yellasians swear exists, is said to have been spotted near the City of Yell's business district. Whether or not the above photograph is any other cockatoo is debated amongst Yellasians. Yellasians are generally not superstitious, but matters like this are not taken lightly.

Carl Cockatoo is said to only appear at times important in Yellasian history, good or bad. Despite the perceived peace, turmoil is certainly brewing within Yellasia. The Low Republic, Coreelia, Huskdor, and Puffnia have expressed their desire for independence from the United Kingdom of Greater Yellasia, which could have drastic economic effects. In addition, radical Communists in USAN's threats to take Huskdor's and the Terralow's increased activity threaten the long and strong stability of the Yellasian nation.

Furthermore, a new nation has laid claim on the Island of Yell. Coexisting with Yellasians for centuries, these peoples have now expressed their plans to dissolve the Yellasian state and create a new multi-national state. Increased migration from their undiscovered homeland and their historical existence on the Black Palm peninsula give legitimacy to their claims, though their claims are still a threat.

For millions of Yellasians, Carl Cockatoo may indeed be their best hope.
