A massive mining operation has been announced by the Hecla Mining Company to find various resources within the Sudentor Mountain Range along the northern border of Chernarusia. This is to help boost employment and the economy with the influx of new resources to stimulate industries. Resources like various metals, stones, and even Uranium is to be sold on the market.

"Any Uranium extracted is to be used civilly" as President Kozub stated earlier today.

Fourth Purge To Hit The Holy Empire

Members of the elite special forces group, the Vatican Order of the Knights of God have begun covert operations in the Empire's eastern border towns. These Satanic and Pagan villages are situated just outside Imperial Borders in the east however, with the threat of an attack from these heretics the Artitian Catholic Church have ordered the Fourth Purge to commence. Protests erupted today as underground civil rights movements came from their sewer hide outs. The resulting riots ended in the deaths of thirteen rioters and the injuring of sixty five rioters and one Imperial Guard member. Heretics found guilty will be executed either by firing squad or hung. Primitive methods such as drawn and quartering, drowning, and stoning  have been deemed as a waste of energy, time, and resources.

Imperial Guard Mobilized

Imperial Guard Regiments have been deployed all around the Empire in attempts to defend the Empire from the Chinese Heretics who threaten the Roman and Artitian way of life. The infamous 2nd Imperial Guards, known commonly among dissenters as the "Butchers of the Empire" are being sent to Xolox to begin joint military execersises with the Loxan military to learn from each others different battle tactics. Also the deployment of the 2nd Imperial Guard Regiment will help improve relations with the Grand Empire of Xolox and the Holy Empire of Artite. C-17 troop transports will follow through international space corridors to arrive in Xarax in several days.

New Rhodinia Aflutter After Additional Archiological Finds



The people of New Rhodinia are once again in a frenzy after archeologist team leader Octavia Seneca discovered vast ranges of large, fairly simplistic structures impaled into the sides of the Attilius mountain range. The research from Seneca's team reveal that they are more of what is believed to be the old Rhodinian Republic, the nation that New Rhodinia bases itself off of.

The Rhodinian Republic was widely considered to be a safe haven for all free men, but was quickly conquered by warmonger states. Their leader, Junius Maximus I, made extremely questionable remarks regarding his opinions on nearby nations, putting him and his nation in political jeopardy.

As of now, Seneca's team has uncovered what they estimate is only 10% of the known structures. The ones that have been excavated have yielded priceless artifacts and tablets giving valuable insight on the nation's predecessor. One such example is a post-modern, standardized tablet believed to be forged by Junius Maximus I himself.

"It's the holy grail of our ancestors!" Seneca exclaimed. "Not only can we avoid their previous mistakes, but we can also learn so much more: their culture, their beliefs, their industries. Who knows what else we'll find here?"

When asked how long the excavation would last until completion, Seneca shivered (possibly from the chilly atmosphere) and gave an estimate of up to a year unless they worked with state-of-the-art equipment.

BIGGEST OIL SPILL APEPISTAN HAS EVER SEEN
and the government sits back and watches?


Two days ago a drilling operation in the coastline of Northern Apepistan has backfired: spilling about 300 million gallons of crude oil into the sea. Since the drilling operation was done by a private company, the government refuses support the cleaning process, and instead has brought the Nordoil Company leadership to court. Meanwhile, thousands of people from all over Apepistan have traveled to the accident site to help locals and wildlife alike.
Ulan Khazik, lead activist of the nationwide spread environment proctecting organisation A.A.W. (Alliance for Apepistans Wildlife) claims that this behaviour is "typical" for the government:
"How many tragedies do we have to see to realise the government isn't doing anything to protect our nature? This has happened many times before, and it's always the same play: The heads of the corporations get some minor punishment and have to pay. What the government fails to realise, or more like, refuses to, is that preventing disasters is the answer! Apepistan needs to turn to renewable energy sources, and the government needs to enact stricter regulations to nature-killing corporations!"

This issue has brought the public opinions focus on another problem aswell: The large scale deforestations in West-Apepistan. Government spokesperson, Bator Timur, has refused to give a statement on this subject, claiming "The two issues are completely separate; the governments focus is currently on finding and punishing the oil-spill responsibles according to the law."

Meanwhile, a nationwide demonstration wave hits the country to force the government to stricter regulations, decreased pollution and deforestation, and both research and financial support to renewable energy sources. The opposition claims that such actions would render Apepistans heavy industry incapable and cause many people to lose their jobs, as the primary and secondary sector of the economy employ about 67% of the working population.
There have been minor conflicts between the two opposing sides, but the riot police is not deployed yet. The Konzbator chief of police said that "Peaceful protests are of course allowed, but any signs of violence will be handled by the police accordingly.



The heavy industry (especially arms & armour manufacturing) continues to grow unhindered, taking it's toll on the environment. The A.A.W. plans to contact international organisations to put pressure on the government to act.

China China War Reparation

An agreement has been made between Xolox and Artite where China China War Reparation payments will be funneled through Xolox to Artite to be kept in a secure bank in the case of war and the destruction of Xolox. This money will not be touched by the Holy Empire at all for it is the Empire of Xolox's money. In the event that Xolox needs the money they can withdraw all or some of the money in the account to pay for what needs to be paid. This is a secure way of protecting the nations money against foreign aggressors in times of conflict.

With the growing armed conflict in Eastern Artite, the Empire has ordered the mobilization of an additional 20,000 troops to assist V.O.K.G troops already in the areas of the border towns of the Empire. With Heretic towns setting up just outside of Imperial Borders in uncharted territory the risk of a small scale civil war is well under way as more Imperial Troops are sent to combat the enemy. Emperor Constantine's speech was less than optimistic of the growing event happening in the east right now, stating that the "inevitable horizon of war is on our doorstep" and "the enemy could be among us, with in us, or be us". with the threat of separatist forces receiving aid from un desirable nations the Empire has ordered a no fly zone and has set up a blockade to stop all sea trade to the border towns.

In an interview with the president of the newly founded, Free Fiefdoms of Artite or the F.F.A has made it clear that the Empire will pay for every soldier they send to the F.F.A and will loose all taste for battle in the F.F.A.

After only two weeks of heavy fighting in the eastern provinces of the Empire, the Satanist Uprising has been successfully put down with the execution of 210 Satanic Rebel fighters and 3 high ranking rebel leaders. The fighting that happened late last month was sparked by the ethnic cleansing of far right Catholics against Satanic and Pagan worshipers in eastern Artite. The F.F.A has been successfully brought back into the Empire. The threat of another rebellion is virtually non-existent as martial law has been declared for the eastern provinces. Protests today in New Rome after the surrender of the rebels resulted in the deaths of 6 protesters and 49 injured. The protesters were aiming to raise awareness of religious freedoms in the Empire which has been a very controversial issue since Emperor Constantine took over the Empire from his father. Now however with military operations seemingly going to happen in China China, Xolox, and the D.P.R.K the military has not been sent home, in fact an additional 170,000 troops have been called up on the already 480,000 mobilized. Wars are coming to the World Alliance and Artite is preparing for it.

Artite condemns Korean Nuclear Missile Launch

In what seemed like an act of defiance to the WA sanctions on the Koreans, The D.P.R.K has launched their first missile prompting the Imperial Air Force to activate counter measures. Anti-missile batteries are being set up all around the country as the threat of nuclear attack from the Koreans has got the Empire worried. Imperial Troops in Xolox have been ordered to begin construction of nuclear bunkers in the event that Imperial Troops over seas are targeted by the enemy. Ina public announcement to the Empire and her allies, Emperor Constantine condemned the nuclear test and called Korea a "breeding ground for heretics and the Devil's spawn". Artite has begun to activate their own nuclear ICBM installations in the case that Korea decides to attack first, or even China China for that matter. Nuclear Ballistic Submarines have been deployed to undisclosed seas and are operating in complete darkness. Their only goal is to watch the Koreans and Chinese and in the event of a nuclear launch on Artite are to strike back with their own arsenal at the aggressor. The Emperor has assured the enemies of the Empire that Mutually Assured Destruction will happen if Artite is attacked with nuclear missiles. As such Artite has aimed its non-nuclear ICBMs at China China and missile strikes will commence on the country in twelve hours. Artite does not believe in a cease fire during peace talks and believes it is easier to talk to an enemy with a fire lit under them.

New Rhodinian Princess(?) Released! Sources Claim "It Went Better then Expected"!

Junius Maximus III let Livia loose from her cryogenic state yesterday and has been introducing her to the nation of New Rhodinia for the first time. He claims that there was a small disruption upon release, but nothing to worry about as she has quickly understood the situation. She now resides in the Emperor's palace in New Ostia.

We had an opportunity to speak with Octavia Seneca, excavation team Epoch's supervisor (as they have now come to call themselves).

"She's fully aware that the Rhodinia she knew no longer exists. She also shares the same opinion regarding healthcare, income equality and a wide range of other areas. In fact, you could say she's almost a Junius Maximus IV."

When asked if she thought the emperor would officially adopt Livia as a Maximus, Octavia responded, "I wouldn't mind seeing it. Not even an hour after letting her out of that pod and she's talking about how we can solve our political strife? She's more of a politician then a 'sewer scavenger'!"

While in negotiations with the Chinese in Eurussia, Artite has commenced missile strikes against the People's Republic of China China. The main target for this barrage is Beijing and other military and government institutions around China China. The Imperial Navy have begun an air strike barrage while in the Sea of Artite. Among these missiles are high explosive, bunker busters, and incendiary war heads. The objective is to cause mass chaos while dealing devastating blows to the Chinese. Counter measures have been put in place against China China's expected response of launching nuclear missiles. However, with the threat of nuclear war very minimal their is still a sense of heightened readiness in the event that Artite is struck by nuclear warheads delivered from the Chinese. Imperial ground troops are heading towards major ports in the state and will be disembarking with in the next forty eight hours, their destination is unknown but most can guess where they will be heading.

"The United Kingdoms will not sit back while our allies are being attacked by aggressors!" said Viktor Khazri, spokesperson of the United Council of War.

After the military strikes between Artite and China China, the United Kingdoms of Apepistan have begun mobilizing their navy, namely, Carrier Strike Group 7 "Ketzal". The CSG consists an Aircraft Carrier, 7 Destroyers and 2 Cruisers. CSG-7 Ketzal is moving towards the Artite sea, where "they'll be present to help Artite defend her citizens against China China", while the rest of the navy remained in the Apepistan sea, ready for mobilisation.
Furthermore, the United Kingdoms of Apepistan have also taken counter-nuclear measurements, and several battalions of the United Army are grouping at major navy ports.

Ahet-Apep, leader and supreme commander of Apepistan is yet to declare the state of war officially, which is, traditionally, presenting a bloody sword to the people during a military parade in Konzbator.
