Following almost a month of training from the Corinthian Armed Forces, the Unbingo military has, much to the satisfaction of Unbingo and Corinthian officers alike, pulled off a coordinated, complex training exercise without a single flaw. Also, Unbingoclickclick's government has finally paid off the last expenses to the Corinthian government for the handover of the previous navy that was decommissioned after the founding of a new navy. At a press conference, Cayman Madaki, flanked by both Unbingo and Corinthian officials, named the man who would be in charge of the new branch.
"We have ships now," Said Administer Cayman after taking the stage in the Parliament building's debate room. "But the truth is, we have no one with the know how to command these ships. So, after screening many candidates, me and my department has named Kwadwo Ihejirika as the commander of our main fleet." As Cayman finished, Kwadwo stepped up, wearing formal Navy garbs, to a round of deafening applause. Kwadwo, after shaking hands with Cayman, took to the podium. "My fellow citizens, I am honored to be named Commander of the newly founded Unbingo Navy. However, this is a job better taken on in parts, so as the days go on I will name commanders of the various parts of the fleet; the attack, defense, and patrol fleets."

In related news, tests for Unbingoclickclick's first combat aircraft took place today, which ended poorly. The jet engine failed mid flight, but thankfully the pilot was able to eject safely. The jet engine aircraft was one of several designs the government had accepted for testing from various designers.

When asked about the deterioration of talks between Eurussia and ISIS, Cayman Madaki told reporters that he "sees the dangers posed by [ISIS] and their nuclear ambitions, but we, as a nation, are to inexperienced to choose right from wrong."

The Federation of Serenarea was born after the First Serenarean Civil War severely weakened the Empire of Serenarea and the Emperor. To avoid a complete break up of his nation, Emperor Junkin the Great dissolved the empire and formed the Federation of Serenarea, giving local regions a considerable amount of autonomy under a decentralized federal government based in Serenata.

Ever since the formation of the Federation, the dispute on how centralized the Federation should be has been the source of conflict, with two of its civil wars stemming from the issue. Over several decades, the Maior Pro-Consuls of Serenarea have strived to increase the power of the federal government and decrease the autonomy of individual states.

His Serene Majesty, Junkin III, has increased his efforts over the years to strengthen and consolidate the federal government along with his own power. This effort has launched a swarm of controversy and conflict amongst the Federation. This division may have reached its breaking point today, when it was reported that at the Annual Consuls Conference, 8 out of the 16 Consuls furiously swarmed out in the middle of the meeting. The friction concerning the issues have the people of Serenarea fearful of another civil war.

With things seemingly escalating out of the Government's control many people believe that the nation will, or already has, fallen into a second civil war. Neither the King nor the Parliament have confirmed this, and state that the riots are under control. Yet the general public and the leaders of the Republican movement claim that the nation is under a second civil war.

Already the Republicans have stated that the City of Birmingham shall become the new capital of the nation, following their takeover of the City of Cardiff. With Riots and bombings happening within cities all through wales and the west midlands. Thing seem to be going sour for the monarchy.

King John II has officially declared the nation in a state of Civil War since the deployment of the military in cities, as well as curfews placed under the cities who are under current threat from the Republican Movements who wish to destroy the unity between the Monarchy and the People. All citizens are advised to report all suspicious actions, and/or anything relating to the Republican movement to the local authorities at once.

(The Following News Report is from the Republican Side)



The Lord Protector and Prime Minister of the Republic has declared that the commonwealth will rise as a republic, and we shall see the death of the Monarchy. The republic has declared that Birmingham shall become the new capital of the Republic and that we shall see to it that our nation becomes clear of all forms of corruption caused by that of the monarchy. All Citizens of the republic are encouraged to assist in securing the Triumph of the republic in order to run out all of her enemies. Long live the Republic!

Togana's first modern national passenger rail network open for business last week. The Togana Rail Project aims to create a new era in rail transport. The entire project has been fraught with delays and cost overruns, with the legislature even shutting the project down 6 years ago. But through it all the first section of the network has opened. The Augusta to Fort Wayne is the first major piece to the network along with the new central hub  opened in Augusta. The Augusta to Wayne section suns for 76 miles of mostly flat land and used existing rail right-of-ways. Within the next 2-3 years the next 5 lines will open to other major cities and after the new slower intrastate lines will open.

Military to Bomb Kuwait

In a weekly address to the House of Commons the Prime Minister laid out plans to bomb The Republic of the Islamic State of Kuwait, a secessionist state of the Kingdom of Ireland illegally given independence under President Robinson.

"To the Honourable Members of Parliament, just a few months ago former President Gregory Robinson illegally gave independence to the Islamic State of Kuwait after a war in which he did nothing. It is of the best interests of this government that we take it back. Over 32 Million Irish citizens are stuck there unwillingly and our Government has done nothing to help them. A historically Irish city, Cork, is now under Kuwaiti control and we send them billions of euros every year. All because the President bowed to Kuwait and gave into their demands. This Government will not stand for that. We must show that Ireland is strong and will never bow to foreign interests. It is with my deepest regrets that I announce that as of October 24th on orders of the Monarch, Philip I, that the Irish Air Force will begin a 2 month bombing campaign ending on Christmas Eve. After which we will begin an Army/Marine invasion of Kuwait. And we will not surrender. We will keep fighting until Kuwait is dead or they surrender and are willing to go back to the negotiation table. God Bless the Kingdom of Ireland and God Save the King!"

Monarch Announces Parliamentary Code of Conduct

After the annual Prime Minister's Questions Session in the House of Commons of which the Leader of the Opposition and Deputy Prime Minister(PM Absent) were nearly at arms His Supreme Irish Majesty, King Philip I announced a Parliamentary Code of Conduct which all Parliamentarians(MP's and Lords) will have to swear by before being allowed to enter the chamber.

"What happened in the Commons was a shameful act. It was an embarrassment on Parliament, the Irish Government, and Ireland it self. I have since decided to introduce create the Parliamentary Code of Conduct. This will be a list of rules saying how Parliamentarians both MP's and Lords must act while in the chamber. They will have to swear by these rules before entering the chamber or else be denied entry. If they violate the rules they will be barred from the chambers for a period of one week. This will not be eligible for revision by any chamber of Parliament."

The new Corinthian colony cities are being built in Boreas-Naukratis (North-Naukratis), and tensions grow with the local natives aswell. The remains of a once great nation are trying to resist being incorporated into the Corinthian Colony, even though their respective authorities have signed a treaty in the past, submitting their lands to Corinthos.
However, locals have called their former leaders traitors, and now underground movements are popping up, consisting of Loxan natives. So far 4 organised attacks took place against construction sites, injuring 7 people, and causing significant financial damage.
The Corinthian Armed Forces have been deployed to guard the cities' borders, and metal fences are going to be built. Both natives and Corinthians are only allowed to cross the border with special permission. Larger groups of Loxan natives who are willing to hold peaceful relations with the Corinthians, but do not wish to be assimilated are going to be living in Enclaves. So far, 5 Enclaves have been made within Naukratis for the Loxans.

Emir Masjid Mutuallah replaces Emir Abu Lakiptani

The great Islamic States of all Islamic States has new ruler and that is Emir Masjid Mutuallah replacing Emir Abu Lakiptani who decide to retire from politics and have his younger brother to take over the Emir position. This is a new age for the ISIS and the Abusians.

During the previous weeks the Republican Parties have gained increasingly more power over the nation, thus causing mass panic among the nobles, and monarchists. As well as this the republicans are terror attacks all throughout the nation. Including the recent bombings at the Prince of Wales' funeral, as well as the royal palace in london. Things are looking out of hand for the nation...

The Loxan natives, in Boreas-Naukratis, have been pacified, partly. The natives have faced two choices: either leave the from the borders of the newly established colony, or live in one of the 5 Enclaves that Corinthos has provided for them. Many have chosen to do so, and Corinthos and Naukratis even allowed that the 5 Enclaves can have a Loxan Council, where they can meet and discuss matters concerning them.

However, a handful of Loxans still keep resisting, and are aggressively fighting against the conlonists. Several workers and soldiers have been attacked, along with some bombs detonated on construction sites. These attacks have injured overall 7 civilians and 5 soldiers, and killed 2 officers. The Corinthian Army has located and destroyed a "nest of Loxan military resistance", as they claimed. Some journalists and newspapers believe that this was merely a retribution, instead of a justified offensive. The Corinthian Armed Forces will continue to fight "ALAM"-s (A.ggressive L.oxan A.rmed M.ilitia), as the colonials have nicknamed them.

A third option is presenting itself to the Loxan natives: from one day to the other, hundreds of thousands have decided to mass leave Naukratis. They have used fishing ships, yachts, transport ships, etc., to set sail, and it is yet to be known where they are headed. Some political analysts say that they are heading towards Ireland, Eurussia, Scouting, or Lonbonia - one of the more fortunate countries of the World Alliance.

Their numbers are an estimated 350.000. The Corinthian Navy will not escort these refugees, as they are not Corinthian or Naukratis-Colonial citizens, the Commander-in-Chief said.  

Emir Masjid Mutuallah will allow cars in ISIS

The new Emir brought great news to Abusians after making announcement that he will allow cars in ISIS to allow people to move freely. This is after years of being banned to protect the environment but warned that only clean fuels can be used. This will also help the economy and give jobs because only local companies will be approved to sell cars in ISIS.

Government to Slash Budget

In preparation for the 2016 Fiscal Year the Government has approved a bill which would slash the budgets of the Department of Education, the Department of Health, and the Department of Social Welfare. The opposition revolted saying it was a war on the poor.

"Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister might like to say that he cut the budget on education to give more freedom to parents. He may say he cut the budget on health to give more tax relief to the poor and he may say the same about the cuts to Social Welfare. However it is obvious what this is. A war on the poor. Not a war on poverty but a war on the poor. The PM's plan gives to tax cuts to the wealthy not the poor." these were the words of the Opposition Leader.

The proposal went on to be approved by a very slim margin.

Due to the recent influx of illegal immigration into the southern and coastal portions of the nation, the Border Protection Service is asking for emergency funding to allow them to hire more officers and buy new equipment.

Already this year the BPS has ordered 1500 new rifles, 500 new handguns, and has started a competition for a new class of mid-range UAV system. These new purchases are the first of many new equipment orders they have requested. The BPS is made up of 2300 uniformed patrol agents and cover 3000 miles of land/sea border.

The Corinthian Colonial Department have publicly announced that, after getting authorisation from the WEPA, the Republic of Corinthos will instantly begin the construction of Syracuse, and it's sister-city, Ortigia. The new colony of Syracuse will not be an independent state on their own, it will operate under agreements with the WEPA, and limited authority. Syracuse will have it's own Colonial Boule, but no Gerusia, as it'll be managed by Xenophon Lakonios, the Gerusia Member for Colonies of the Republic of Corinthos.






Soon, elections will be held in the Republic of Corinthos, for the position of the First Archon. The approval ratings of Periandros are high, however, the largest, and poorest class of society, the thetes, tend to support the other nominee, Philippos of Thessalia, who wishes to adapt a more social-democratic policy. The thetes have turned towards Philippos after the Republic of Corinthos has left the social-democratic party. The muslim minority of Corinthos, who want Corinthos in the Islamic Party, are also supporting Philippos, purely for the sake of being against Periandros.  
The social classes according to the wealth census are supporting the following of the two nominees, at the moment:

First Class: Pentacosiomedimni

Periandros Cypselid: 64%
Philippos of Thessalia: 36%

Second Class: Hippeis

Periandros Cypselid: 73%
Philippos of Thessalia: 27%

Third Class: Zeugites:

Periandros Cypselid: 54%
Philippos of Thessalia: 56%

Fourth Class: Thetes:

Periandros Cypselid: 22%
Philippos of Thessalia: 78%

Fifth Class: Metics:

no voting rights


Overall:

Periandros Cypselid: 53,25%
Philippos of Thessalia: 49,25%

(The citizens of Corinthos are divided into 4+1 classes, according to their annual income, and wether or not they have citizenship. The first four classes are the ones with citizenship, and the fifth class is the one with no citizenship. The Five Classes have their own separate votes, and then, the results from the 4 Classes are averaged for the final tally.)

The Corinthian Colonial Department has begun building Syracuse, and several Corinthian companies have applied for building permit on the area. The building and admission requirements are extremely high, due to the increased environmental protection level of the area. The Corinthian Colonial Department has announced that they will show the whole world, that "green cities" can be built, in complete harmony with nature and the environment, using renewable resources, recycled material, etc.

However, one company "Etna Co.", dealing with geothermal energy, were discovered to have start importing mining equipment, along with the technology needed to make geothermal power plants. The Republic of Corinthos, on the pressure of environmentalist groups, and after a series of press conferences, has decided that they will open a court case against "Etna Corporation", for fraud. The Republic of Corinthos has also announced, that the court case will be handled and overwatched by the WEPA. For now, the future of this company is unknown.

During a construction in Naukratis, workers have found remains of an ancient city - of hellenic origins. Archeologists and historians have instantly occupied the area, and have begun researching and excavating this rare ancient heritage.
The archeologists have named this city "Archaios-Naukratis", or "Ancient-Naukratis", in english. Corinthian specialists say that the settlement was indeed inhabited by doric-greekish settlers, and this proves that hellenic culture has been present in the region in the past.

The Corinthian Colonial Department has announced that this further proves that Naukratis is a vital part of the Republic of Corinthos, and might aswell have been for thousands of years now.

Due to recent influx of Illegal immigrants into southern Togana, many in that region are blaming the increase in crime on them; begging for the government to due something to stem the tide. The violent crime rate in the southern states has risen 4% over last years and the theft rate has risen 7%. While it is unknown if immigration is directly responsible many people are blaming it on the issue. The Border Protection Service of Togana has stated that up to 20,000 people have crossed the southern border in the county. Upon investigation most of the people have come from Corinthos.

The BPS is in the process of getting more funding to allow them to fight the immigration issue better. All the southern border crossing have been closed and patrol have increased along the border fence. Border agents are given instant arrest authority to anybody found crossing illegally and the people a detained. As Togana does not recognize refugees status of any conflict, these people are labeled as illegal under Togana Law. Meaning that they can not hold jobs, get any documentation from the government, and are not allowed to rent housing. Many civil rights organizations are trying to fight these laws in court but they have an uphill battle. The vast majority of Togana citizens are against opening the borders to allow more people in. The BPS is working with local law enforcement to stop and detain these illegal persons. All people being detained are put into one of the three camps in the nation made to hold large amounts of immigrants.


Politicians in Togana are in the process the trying to find a solution to these people detained. The many ideas are for them to be sent back to their home nation like what is done to most people. The other ideas are for them to be given thorough tests and given temporary work permits. Or the last plan is volunteers to be trained and armed to fight for their own safety in their lands. The legislate is meeting this week to try to find a solution to the issue.

Political tensions brewing in the Scottish Pariliament

Prime Minister Alexander Blair and his party and party allies in Parliament moved to strip more powers from King Ferdinand, supporters of the King in and out of the legislative chamber have voiced opposition to the move. Protests are being held to show support to the King and to show against the law changes introduced by the government of PM Blair which remain defiant to reform the Scottish Government with or without the King's consent. He said, "I know this is a sensitive topic a very sensitive one. And I am loyal and pledge allegiance to the Scottish people and nobody else. It is imperative that reforms be made however hard it is for us. This is for the good of us all. Make no mistake that I respect His Majesty, but I believe he should stay out of politics so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past that cost so much for our great nation. We will rise again."

Following the unexplained disappearance of the King. The Republicans have seized power and the Lord Protector will assume office as head of Government for life, while he rules a Prime Minister will be elected every 5 years. The people around the nation rejoiced at this fact as TV's Radios, and newspapers began to print the news following their shutdown during the later half of the Second English Civil War and the rise of the Great Revolution.

A new flag, coat of arms and a national anthem have been declared for the nation as well as a new government and the outcasting of the last one.

ISIS makes prostitution legal despite objection from Imams and clerics

It is final, Emir Masjid Mutuallah has proven again that he is a modernizer of Islamic States after allowing cars to run on the roads of the Islamic state and now legalizing prostitution as a regular job.

Togana Class Carrier Enters Drydock.
The T.S. Togana has entered dry dock this morning to begin its 16 month retrofit. The Togana Class Carrier has been in service since 1989 with the commissioning of the Togana. Her sister ship the Servia, was commissioned in 1994.

While in dry-dock the ships will be rebuilt and repaired. being added is a newer radar and weapons system. The new Anti-Air defense be made up of mid-range A-A missile and CIWS. Plus a new communication system to better allow communication and command of other units is being installed. Other than the new systems, the ships will be repaired to handle 20 more years in service.

Critics are using the fact that Togana will only have one operational carrier for 16 as a fact that the nation needs to expand its fleet and build more carriers; something that many in the Navy agree with. In fact a new program started last month is looking at the Toganas replacement. The new ship calls for a 25% increase in displacement and a larger air wing. Up to three new carriers are being studied.
