Prime Minister of Dolgava Kornelijs Braun along with the Dolgavan Government has become increasingly concerned with the recent incursions of Southern military powers in what has long been considered the "North". In centuries gone by the north has been incurred upon by Southern nations to which the North has repeatedly rose up to defend itself. Alliances such as the Northern Council have repeatedly ensured that the North is protected from radical imperialism from southern powers. Recently the Dolgavan Government has become increasingly worried with southern nations especially in Majatra pushing their spheres of influence further and further north. This is causing an increase of tensions that have grown more and more prevalent in the North.

Recently Malivia has now seemingly flipped from being a supporter of Dorvik to now being in Beiteynu's bloc. Dolgavan troops will remain in Malivia however they are only to fill out Dolgava's commitment to defense of the Franz Georg port. It has seems that the tentacles of the Beiteynu influence apparatus has seemingly tried to get most of the world under their sphere and control. These nations increasingly are creating instability in the north and causing several nations to become worried. The Prime Minister reportedly is talking with Dolgava's allies and sharing the concerns of his government. In an interview to a local paper Braun said,

It is clear that we need to re-evaluate our position in the North and the current increase of infiltration by certain powers in Southern Terra. My Government is committed to ensuring that the North is not trampled or messed with by foreign powers to the south and that we do not become the playground for Majatra's attempt at a world order. We are still talking with our allies but it is my hope that we organize soon for the sake of peace in the North.

The Prime Minister as apart of his foreign policy goals is aligning Dolgava once again with it's historical allies and pushing for the North to once again unite to stop growing aggression to the south. This has been Dolgavan foreign policy for many centuries up until recently but now it is back in Dolgava's conscientiousness.

The Dolgavan Prime Minister Kornelijs Braun made a long awaited statement on the coup and international backlash on the new Government of Kafuristan. He called the events and especially the reaction from surrounding states "troubling" but he also said that the Kingdom of Dolgava was open to relations with the Kafuri state of human rights were respected. This comes after the leader of the opposition in Parliament Konstantin Scharff of the Dolgavan Liberals, a minor party asked the Prime Minister his thoughts on what the leader of the opposition called a "crisis". Braun was clear that the event was being monitored by Dolgava and that much like their allies Trigunia and Dorvik they were open to relations with Kafuristan.

Now Mr. Speaker I believe that is a loaded question from the leader of the opposition. The only ones calling it a crisis are the same states that are committing disguised imperialism all over Terra. As for Kafuristan it is clear that they have a change in Government that has led to a somewhat stable and competent government to take power in the country. Frankly the international communities reaction has been highly unnecessary. The actions of Beiteynu of trying to create a war in Majatra is also concerning. We will be monitoring the situation and if human rights abuses and for now we will be recognizing the Kafuri state. We urge the international community to be careful and to not let conflict spread across the region.

This statement comes as several countries including Beiteynu, Lourenne, Lodamun and Alduria amongst others have rebuked the coup however the Dolgavan Government has not taken such steps as the coup is internal affairs of Kafuristan and frankly should not be impeded upon by the Dolgavan State. Dolgava as always remains committed to peace in Terra and any conflict escalation will be rebuked harshly by the Government in Aikums.

Beiteynu:
The new Queen of Dolgava Helvig has continued her international goodwill tour by visiting Beiteynu and Saridan. In Beiteynu the Queen landed in the capital of Yishelem. She visited the many historical and cultural sites in Beiteynu for nearly two days before visiting Government officials in Beiteynu. She met with Prime Minister Eliana Amira and the Beiteynu cabinet before briefly visiting the potential royal house, House of Elior of the future for Beiteynu and the man whom Yeudis think will be their next King Elias Ishmael lV.

Dolgavan-Beiteynu relations remain steady but not close. The two countries are trading partners however they rarely utilize this, many Dolgavan politicians are tired of Beiteynu's influence in Majatra and their clashes with Dolgava's close ally Dorvik however the Queen of Dolgava made a visit to Beiteynu to ensure that relations between the two nations remain cordial, especially with tensions with Luthori remaining a problem for Dolgava and the current instability across Terra. The Queen has been clear that she will attempt to bridge gaps in foreign relations and put Dolgava on the path towards peace with all nations of Terra something clashing with the current government's view on the world.

The Queen enjoyed herself in Beiteynu and spent some time visiting history and the many, many points of interest in the country. This is her first state visit since becoming Queen however this resumes her trip around the world from when she was the Crown Princess.


Saridan:
The Queen also made a short visit to Saridan as well. She ignored the weird and racist "President" of Saridan and instead visited Progressive Party leaders as they are the largest party in Saridan's legislature. They are active in reforming the Government and attempting to end racism and apartheid in Saridan. The Queen is clear that she is supporting the end of Racism in Saridan and the end of ethnic tensions in the region. In a quick statement she mentioned Saridan's apartheid saying

I really hope this policy will end. I met with leaders of the Progressives and unlike the so called "President" you are trying to fix the divides on your nation. I really hope you bring peace and unity in the coming months and years and you fight for equal rights.

---------------------------------------------------------------

The Queen will be next going to Dovani, visiting Lourenne and Kazulia before finishing her journey on the sunny beaches of Kalistan. The Queen has made many good connections from the many countries she has visited creating connections for the Dolgavan Government to continue in the future.

Dolgava's largest mining corporation is working with the Dolgavan Armed Forces to develop White Phosphorous munitions. One of Dolgava's largest natural resources is Phosphorous and it has been mined in the country for thousands of years however it can provide a valuable munition that will help the Dolgavan Armed forces in several capacities. However this type of shell due to its high burning temperature is very dangerous as a highly effective as an incendiary munition is highly controversial.

What are White Phosphorous Munitions?

White Phosphorous munitions use elemental phosphorous and natural phosphorous that is mined inside of the ground. It is then used as a burning material for a type of shell that burns bright and creates highly visible smoke. It is used effectively in tracer munitions and also controversially in incendiary munitions.

The Plan

Dolgava has partnered with the largest mining firm in Dolgava Crown Mines (Kroņa raktuves) to sell large amounts of Phosphorous to the Dolgavan Military and the start of large Phosphorus mine will ensure a large supply is ensured. The Phosphrous will be used in an uncertain amount of shells however all non home guard units will be carrying them. They will be used in Howitzers shells, bombs, grenades and shoulder mounted missiles as well as larger rockets and missiles. Due to their dangerous burning capabilities they will not be used by the Dolgavan Home Guard. They are highly effective as tracer rounds and very good for telling where artillery and air force fighters and bombers where to hit as well as an excellent smoke generator for smoke screens in battle.

The Dolgavan Minister of Defense Elisabeth Spitz made it clear in an interview today that the plan is being carried out and will be quite large,

We want the capability to use White Phosphorous because not only is this good for our economy and is a resource Dolgava has quite alot of but it is also a quite effective battlefield tool. Let me be clear however, the munitions will not be made for incendiary purposes but as a effective tracer round and smoke screen shell. We will also not be using it on civilians as we know the terrible affects it has on them and their danger to crowded urban type areas. We will be making a variety of types of munitions with this new type of weapons and we believe we will be more capably and effective as a military with these munitions.

Dolgava continues to use its military buildup as well as its economy to boost each other up. This deal appears to be a big win for the Dolgavan mining sector as well as a good deal for the Dolgavan military. With increasing training in exercises in Hutori the Dolgavan military is increasing in its capabilities and effectiveness and with new technologies being created for the armed forces this will just increase their effectiveness.

Dolgavan Social Media livestreamers have begun to run their gas powered stoves in 24 hours a day for multple days to show seemingly troll Majatra and other regions currently paying expensive prices for natural gas and fuel. The messages show the current cost of natural gas and fuel in Dolgava which is extremely cheap as they get their oil and gas from Trigunia and Dorvik respectively at some of the cheapest prices in Terra. The average cost of gas per month is 1.22 DOLS (4.3 LOD) a month for Dolgavans especially with relations with Trigunia and Dorvik being the highest they have been in many years and Dolgava using natural gas more and more over electric stoves.

Due to the ongoing political situation with Kafuristan where it seems Majatra way be nearing a war the cost of gasoline and natural gas has skyrocketed in Majatra and other nations that rely on them for fuel. However here in the north natural gas and gasoline remains cheap and abundant something that Dolgavans who are becoming increasingly bitter towards Majatra have begun to exploit.

Several live streamer channels have posted videos showing 24/7 burning of their natural gas stoves with the current national price of gas per month being displayed on the screen with a short message saying "God Bless Dolgava" or "From Dolgava with Love". Quickly they have become viral not only in Dolgava but across the world as people are sharing their angry opinions over the internet waves. However one thing is for sure Dolgava is blessed with cheap natural gas and gasoline and Dolgavans don't want the world to forget it.

The Dolgava Prime Minister held a rally outside the Beiteynu embassy in Aikums tonight demanding that they stop arresting Dolgavan citizens. He called the actions of the Beiteynu government "irresponsible" and "authoritarian". He also issued an official travel advisory for Dolgavans thinking of traveling to Beiteynu saying that "they have become unhinged and dangerous". His full speech was broadcast across Dolgavan television and is being praised as Dolgava stands up for itself against the tyrannical government in Yishelem.

Friends, I like you have heard the disturbing stories coming out of Yishelem.

First let me make this clear, the detainment of Dolgavan citizens for no reason is a slap in the face of Dolgavan sovereignty and a diplomatic insult to not only our sovereignty but the good work our beloved Queen has done to ensure peace and prosperity across Terra. Let me be clear, my Government has been cordial, we have been understanding and we have time and time again been friendly to Yishelem and yet they have done something that I cannot believe, my Government cannot believe and frankly is reprehensible. They have become unstable, unhinged and do not care about our sovereignty the freedoms of our citizens or anything of the sort.

These actions have left us no choice. As of tonight my Government is issuing a travel advisory to Dolgavans looking to travel to Beiteynu for any reason other than Diplomatic missions. We cannot guarantee your safety unless you have diplomatic immunity. These 2 Dolgavans I trust have done nothing wrong and any claims by the Government in Yishelem are horse shit. They have gone too far frankly and we cannot accept normal travel and relations with this sort of behavior taking place. We will not be bullied by nations that do not respect sovereignty or the rule of law. It is our best intentions for peace and stability in Terra but these actions cannot be ignored...

This just adds to the tensions that are growing between Dolgava and Luthori as well as Majatra itself which has become a massive cold war type landscape.

The World is changing fast but you shouldn't have to, watch the DBC for the best coverage of world events!

Dolgava Leaves Malivia as Malivia backstabs Dolgava to be apart of Hostile, Unstable Luthori


Dolgavan Troops leaving heading to Dorvik and then back home

August 29th 5398

Dolgavan troops left Malivia today after Malivia seemingly backstabbed the Kingdom of Dolgava in favor of a increasingly hostile Luthori which is attempting to screw over Dolgavans no matter where they might be across the globe. Foreign Minister Silvestrs Veinbergs made a short statement to the press saying that

We are deeply disturbed by the events going on in Artania especially from the ever aggressive Luthori but and by Malivia that seemingly cannot be trusted. We willl not be doing business with either state for some time and frankly have bigger and better things to do as a country and as a society.

The Government has becoming increasingly annoyed by the actions of Luthori but this has become the new normal for Luthori to do. For now the Governmnet will not be escalating things and frankly will be ignoring Luthori for the foreseeable future.

As foreign instability continues back home Dolgava is continuing work on a massive naval base located south of Aikums in Hodari, a multitude of different contractors have worked around the clock to ensure that this new base is an engineering as well as military marvel for our time and something usable and effective in protecting the Dolgavan Submarine forces. The complex has been a massive undertaking with much of the work being done in the past 5 years since the project began. Our news crews were given exclusive access to Troll Mountain and the submarine pens that have been completed. We were shown the inner workings of the plant including a whole desalination system of taking saltwater and making it fresh and being able to pump this water into submarines as well as those stationed at the base to protect it. The bay in which it sits was cleared and dredged so that large ships could make it though without causing damage to them as well as giving submarines access to make it to troll mountain without surfacing, which will certainly help with keeping Dolgavan submarine movements a secret from prying eyes in the sky. The concealment it provides is much more than the current submarine base in Dolgariaopolis which has the fleet in the open and exposed to satellites and other aircraft.

As for the submarine pens themselves they are very large and will be able to fit all of the submarines in Dolgava's fleet. 2 submarine pens are specialized for repairs and are much larger and contain full time staff of the best naval mechanics in Dolgava. These have yet to be finished as their size is nearly 3 times the size of the pens we were shown. Geologists have deemed troll mountain safe to drill into and make this base as the mountain is basalt and the remnant of an ancient magma core in which the volcano on top has long since eroded away. Basalt is stable and very strong and suitable for this type of work. We were not shown the upper floors as Dolgavan Intellgence as well as other users have covert operations in the upper floors of the center. However less covert activities take place there as there is a full cafeteria (which was one of the first things built to feed the workers) and supplies food to the hundreds of workers on site. Dolgava Hidroelektrostacija also worked with the mining corporations to build a hydro electric plant fueled by the ocean current and waves that is strong in the bay. The power will be used to partially fuel the site along with a nuclear reactor which will be built into the mountain to provide the rest of the needed power for the base, the University of Aikums will be working to get this project underway.

Work still needs to continue on much of the upper floors as well as pouring steel reinforced concrete which will along with the basalt rock protect everything from any blast that may occur outside of directly on the base. This base has provided thousands with jobs and has helped Dolgava's mining companies to become some of the best bore hole drillers in Terra with their capabilities being proven at Troll Mountain. CEO of Crown Mining Eduard Wittgenstein called the project a "challenge" for his crews but that it was "some of the most challenging but worthwhile work we have ever done".

Troll Mountain is a symbol of national pride and one of the largest engineering projects Dolgava has made. It has proven to be a challenge but more than half of the work has been done with much more to do. It is estimated that the base will take 4 more years to complete with the Nuclear Reactor and the power plant for the base being special and located removed from the rest of the base and near enough to a water source to cool the reactor something scientists are working to ensure is possible and feasible.

Once the base is completed the work will begin on retrofitting Dolgava's aging submarine fleet which is long overdue, and with the near completion of the vital parts of the base for this function the long work of fixing up Dolgava's submarines can then begin. Before the base can run at full operations it is estimated that it will take 6 years for that eventuality to take place but as work continues so does Dolgava's resolve to defend itself and this base does just that. With geopolitics breaking down and countries increasingly becoming hostile towards Dolgava for no apparent reason it is clear that Dolgava must defend itself at all costs.

The Queen of Dolgava along with the Prime Minister are making a state visit to the Kingdom of Kazulia to discuss economic cooperation between the two countries. Kazulia has been a strong ally of Dolgava in the past when the two nations were apart of the Northern Council and close both economically and militarily. With countries hostile to Dolgava becoming more and more bold, finding reasonable countries is something the Braun government is working hard to do. Kazulia has shown great interest in restarting relations and so a state visit was planned.

The Queen of Dolgava Helvig met with the Queen of Kazulia, Queen Sofia as well as meeting the Government and Statsminister Ruth Berg. The Queen would then spend lots of time with the Kazulian House of Rongstad in Skalm and enjoying the beautiful Kazulian countryside. As for the Prime Minister he met with the Kazulian Government about having Kazulian and Dolgavan economic cooperation. Dolgavan Companies especially Dolgava Hidroelektrostacija are interested in working with Kazulia on improving its hydroelectric plants. Also Dolgava is very open to Kazulian oil and gas being sold in Dolgava with Kazulian companies such as Brensel being Kazulia's largest oil company.

Overall the meetings were very positive with both countries coming together after a long time of radio silence on both ends. However now both countries are committed to allowing both countries to be able to have their economies opened to each other. For Dolgava it will be yet another good partnership with another nation that they have worked with before and now they will work together once again.

Dolgava has begun seeking friendly nations to collaborate and work together with Dolgavan Universities on creating a network of nuclear power plants across Dolgava. Currently Dolgavan power production is led by hydroelectricity which Dolgava has mastered for centuries.

The new Dolgavan Government has begun to seek alternative methods for power generation working with Aikums University and Dolgavijas Tehnoloģiju Institūts (Dolgavian Institute of Technology) to develop nuclear power generation. Dolgavan Universities started nuclear programs in 4770 and since then they have kept them running and teaching the next generations about nuclear energy. The universities specializing in nuclear power will work with the Dolgavan Governments and foreign governments to teach nuclear science to the next generations and start Dolgava towards the path of being a leader of nuclear power in the future.

However the Braun government has started making an exploratory program into developing widespread nuclear power across Dolgava and the committee that has been tasked to do this has found that it would be very hard to do without the help of a foreign ally helping Dolgava. Dolgava will need an ally that can reliably help the Dolgavan Government develop safe and effective nuclear power. The Dolgavan Government will be conducting meetings with countries on how to pursue nuclear power and they will update the public once these meetings have concluded.
