BREAKING: Hugamest Conference fails
Selucia finally announces his withdrawal after tense discussions at the Conference with the Malivia authorities and announces that he will study "all kinds of actions"


Minister of Foreign Affairs of Selucia, Vedia Nennius, leaving Hugamest

After days of rumors, the worst forecasts have been confirmed: Selucia also moves away from the negotiating tables with Malivia. After the withdrawal of Hobrazia, the only other nation that had agreed to attend the Conference to try to smooth things over, Selucia was the only unknown that remained. This morning the doubts have been cleared, after the Praetor Peregrinus of Selucia announced that both her and the Consul Hegio Cyamus Seneca and the rest of the negotiating team would leave the city of Hugamest in a few hours towards their country.

"No one can say that we have not tried"

, declared Mrs. Nennius, with a visibly serious face.

"What cannot be expected is that we accept crude historical manipulations and that we are required to reach an agreement based on them, when we are the ones affected here. We are not going to tolerate this interference."

The Minister has also declared that Selucia will ratify the Malivian Containment Pact, for which Narikaton and Hobrazia are already in the process of ratification, and has declared feeling "sorry" that the situation has reached that point, but has acknowledged feeling powerless before the "deaf ears "from the Malivia authorities.

Asked about the new territorial claims of some political authorities in Malivia, Mrs. Nennius has stated that "it was a matter of time" before the matter spilled over to other countries.

"Surely now they will go out to defend themselves, now that the matter touches them closely. And from Selucia, we will support them. However, we will always remember those who came out in defense of our national sovereignty and the truth, and those who they aligned themselves with the lies or that they remained silent until the matter knocked on their doors. "

Asked about the future steps of the Selucian Executive, the Praetor has affirmed that "all the cards are on the table" and that they do not rule out any action, but has assured that they will not be the first to take the first step in a direct confrontation with Malivia .

"We will continue to bet on dialogue and the politics of gestures. We have always been like this and we will always be. But we will defend our sovereign nation tooth and nail if necessary, as we have done time and again throughout history."

BREAKING: A demolishing study: Selucians overwhelmingly reject any approach to Malivia
According to an exhaustive study carried out in private at the request of the government, only 2% of Selucia's citizens support a union with Malivia, and more than 20% believe that it is necessary to take tougher measures against the neighboring country

The citizens of Selucia do not want to hear about a possible union with Malivia. This is what emerges from the study carried out by an independent survey that has interviewed more than two million citizens of Selucia in recent months at the private request of the government, and which transcends now that they have issued their final conclusions. In the polls, which refer to various issues in relation to the current conflict between Malivia and other nations in connection with the so-called "Greater Malivian Empire", the citizens of Selucia reject by an overwhelming and categorical majority any attempt by Malivia to annex their country.

Neither male nor female, neither right-wing nor left-wing, neither with doctoral studies or with the school graduate: no fringe of the Selucian citizenship wants to join Malivia or accept as valid the past existence of a "Greater Malivian Empire".

"These polls confirm what we already knew,"

they say from the government

"that the Selucians are not going to allow the manipulation of history to destroy our way of life."

According to the survey, 66.6% of citizens believe that the government is managing this crisis "well" or "very well" compared to 33.3% who think it is doing it "badly" or "very badly." Furthermore, despite the fact that the majority of Selucian citizens advocate finding a peaceful and dialogue solution to the conflict - always supporting the idea that Malivia holds a false thesis - with 71.5%, some Selucian citizens begin to believe that it is time to take other measures, such as declaring war on Malivia (11.7%), prohibiting the import or export of products with Malivia (10.8%) or preventing Malivia citizens from traveling to Selucia (3.9 %).

Support for any possible union with Malivia, whether due to belief in the Gerajan scriptures or for economic benefit, does not exceed 2% in any case - except for primary and secondary students (up to 16 years) - where support reaches 5 %.

With this study in hand, the government is able and strong to fight even more, according to government sources.

Virologist Saturio Pantensus elected new joint chief of SuCoSQua-ITEAK
Mr. Pantensus has announced the possibility of reaching an HIV vaccine in the coming years


Newly elected joint chief of the SuCoSQua-ITEAK international research center, Saturio Pantensus

At the beginning of the year 4912, the mandate of geneticist Pedia Novia Dubitatius ended, who had already announced that she would not present herself to revalidate her position at the head of the Selucian Superior Council of Scientific Investigations. And as the statues mandate, at the beginning of the year elections have been held to elect the new Magna Magister of the center, who in turn, will begin his term also holding the presidency of the Kirlawa Advanced Scientific Research Center in accordance with what was signed by both research centers .

The winner of these elections was the virologist Saturio Pantensus, the first in his field to occupy this position, and he did so by obtaining the unanimous vote of all the researchers at the center, something that had only happened once before.

In his opening speech, Mr. Pantensus thanked all those who have supported him, remarking that science and research constitute the basic pillars of modern society, and before leaving for Kirlawa to make himself known there as well, has launched a news item related to the research that he is currently carrying out: the possibility that, before the end of his term as joint head of both institutions, an effective method against HIV could have been developed.

"It is news that we have been waiting for a long time"

he has recognized.

"But everything indicates that, if we advance enough in these next few years, this vaccine against HIV will be a reality, and we can immediately begin to immunize and eradicate the virus from our society. This is why it is very important to invest in science and technology, because they are here to help us in our daily lives."

No further details of the investigation have emerged, but it is expected that the data will begin to be published in the coming months.

Seneca dismisses his Minister of Defence
Conversations between the minister and some high commanders of the Army come to light in which she advocates attacking Malivia and setting aside "a dialogue that goes nowhere"


Part of the conversation in which the Defense Minister defends that she has already tried to convince the Consuls

Hegio Cyamus Seneca has abruptly dismissed Memmia Gala, until now Minister of Defense of Selucia, after conversations between her and several high-ranking Selucian Army commanders came to light in which the Malivia affair was discussed, and tougher measures are called for, such as a military intervention in the face of "similar fundamentalists" who commit "historical atrocities", as well as the fact that Malivia does not know "who she is messing with."

After making the content of these conversations public, in which the Minister acknowledges that she has tried to convince Consuls Seneca and Nemesius to act now, but that they have categorically refused to carry out any such action, the government has communicated the immediate dismissal of Mrs. Gala as Minister of Defense, and the opening of a sanctioning file against the military involved in the chat. The government spokesperson and Foreign Minister, Vedia Nennius, has admitted that it is "intolerable" for a minister to express herself in such terms, contradicting in public the official position of her superiors - the Consuls. However, she has also stated that she understands that many people are starting to get fed up with Malivia and her attempts to appropriate Selucia's sovereignty based on historical falsehoods and manipulations, and has warned against "continuing to tighten the rope. ".

The Minister also recalled that filtering private conversations is a crime, and that therefore those responsible will also have to face justice, and that the government will sue the military who have participated in the chat, although not for their political ideas, but for exercising them in use of their functions and public office.


Former Minister of Defence Memmia Gala appearing right after her dismissal

Memmia Gala appeared before the media immediately after learning of her dismissal, and she did so at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, where she was when she heard the news.

She has acknowledged that all the conversation shown is true, but that she "does not regret anything".

"Everything that comes out in that conversation is real. There is no point in denying it. But my intention was not to contradict the Consuls, if not, as Defense Minister, to show my understanding towards those military bodies that do not understand how the government can be giving so much room for maneuver for Malivia, falling into the same mistake as a few centuries ago, when Selucia did not act until Malivia declared "de facto" its sovereignty over our territory. It is incomprehensible that tougher measures are not being taken. "

Border exercises on hold pending ND talks; GRP members extradited

Selucia goes to the polls in a few months to assess the management of a Consul that made history when he was elected for the first time. Malivia, the promises of the first legislature and participation will be the keys to these elections


Consuls Cyamus Seneca and Fadia Nemesius talking in the People's Assembly

Chosen almost five years ago now, the night was the sweetest for Hegio Cyamus Seneca since he can remember. In those elections, he won more than 55 million votes, shattering any previous record and becoming the Selucian leader with the most popular support in recent centuries. He chose Ptolemocratia Fadia Nemesius as his partner in the position, who already had to deal with the position in the previous months after the unexpected death of their predecessors. And despite the fact that the legislature seemed calm, the young Seneca, only 23 years old, did not know what was coming to him.

The conflict with Malivia will probably be one of the keys to the next elections, which will be held in a few months, and in which Mr. Seneca is the clear favorite. However, an important piece of information will be the turnout in these elections: Seneca himself has already said that a turnout of less than 50% would be "a personal failure."

Masked by the conflict with Malivia, his government has made important advances, such as the secularization of the nation, the elimination of noble titles, an improvement in health or an increase in investment in science and technology. However, some critics argue that due to the great popular support received, the Seneca-Nemesius government has not implemented as many measures as could be expected, and that this could take its toll between now and November.

Within the government there are some voices that advocate moving the elections forward and thus avoiding what is known as the "lame-duck period", when the Assembly can no longer propose new laws and is in standby mode until new elections are held.

BREAKING: Selucia announces referendum on Malivian issue
The Consul Nemesius announces it to the People's Assembly based on the Cassian Law on Decrees of the Plebs.


Consul Fadia Nemesius announcing the referendum to the People's Assembly

Consul Ptolemocratia Fadia Nemesius has surprised locals and outsiders this morning by announcing that she intends to call a referendum on the Malivian issue, relying on the powers that the Cassian Law on Decrees of the Plebs grant her as Consul.

As she has informed the People's Assembly, preparations for the Consular referendum would begin immediately, in order to be carried out as soon as possible.

However, the surprise has been the issue on which the referendum will deal: removing any triumphalist idea from the Malivian government, the referendum will not deal with a future or possible union between the two nations. The question that Mrs. Nemesius has raised to be included in the referendum is the following:

"Do you think that Selucia should apply tougher measures and economic embargoes to Malivia in the face of its constant attempts to manipulate national history and impose her mandate on national territory?"

This announcement has caught even the members of her government off guard, who have declared not knowing anything about the matter, and sources close to Consul Seneca affirm that he is "very upset" by the initiative that Fadia Nemesius has taken without consulting him when it has been him the one who for years has been in charge of the matter in the international arena.

If the answer is yes, the government will receive a new boost for its position in the conflict with the neighboring country, after polls that already indicated that an overwhelming majority of Selucian citizens do not even want to hear about Malivia. And if not, the matter would remain as it has been until now, according to government sources.

"Malivia wanted us to let the people choose freely. And nobody gives Selucia lessons in democracy, when we are one of the pioneer nations in popular consultations with their citizens, having our own law on this matter since 4494. Let it be the citizenship the one that decides on how it wants the government to confront this new attack by Malivia on our national sovereignty and, above all, on world history. "

When the referendum takes place, its result would not be binding, but would be subject to the approval of the People's Assembly, which is not obliged to comply with the results of the referendum. Furthermore, the Constitutional Court may overturn it if found to be in violation of the Constitution or international treaties.

It is not even clear that it will finally be held, because according to sources close to the Consules, the relationship between Seneca and Nemesius has deteriorated greatly in recent months as a result of the confrontation with Malivia, since while Seneca defends a calmer and negotiated approach to the conflict, trying once again to make use of reason, logic and history, Nemesius believes that it is time to take tougher measures against a government that she considers "hostile" and "dangerous" for coexistence in Selucia and on the international scene. However, it must not be forgotten that Nemesius was elected by Mr. Seneca, and that he could remove her at any time if the situation required it, thus ultimately preventing the calling of the referendum.

Malivia to join Gene and Seed Vault Project

Sertoria Paenula replaces Fadia Nemesius as the new Consul
Cyamus Seneca restructures his executive after the latest controversies, appointing the new Defense holder and his partner at the head of the government


Hegio Cyamus Seneca with Sertoria Paenula in a TV program

A minimal change but one that drastically restructures the Executive of Selucia. Such have been the changes that Cyamus Seneca has confirmed for his government after the last accumulated controversies - both in relation to the Malivia affair. Thus, after the expulsion of the former Defense Minister for her controversial chat with Army commanders, who have already received their pertinent sanction and were removed from their duties, Seneca has appointed Junia al-Anwar as the new holder of this position, in a nod to the nation's Majatran population.

The most surprising change, however, has occurred at the head of the Executive. Seneca has finally confirmed what many thought would end up happening after Ptolemocratia Fadia Nemesius informed the People's Assembly of her intention to call a referendum with which she hoped to gain popular support to apply harsh sanctions to Malivia: true to his style, Cyamus Seneca has quietly removed Fadia Nemesius from her post and appointed her closest adviser, Sertoria Paenula, as Selucia's new co-Consul, therefore stopping any referendum from happening.

Sertoria Paenula, 50, is one of the closest people to Consul Seneca and was one of the people who accompanied him to the failed Hugamest conference in hopes of solving the Malivia issue. Close to the communist ideology, it is expected that her entry into the government will contribute a series of even more leftist policies, so that this incoming government could apply a radically different program from that of the last legislature.

Sources close to Seneca confirm that the reason why Fadia Nemesius has been dismissed from office has been the "loss of confidence" of the Consul-elect in her partner, although they also confirm that she has been offered a dignified exit as Selucia's ambassador in Deltaria, since she has rejected. This newspaper has tried to contact Fadia Nemesius without success.

The Gene and Seed Vault Project Treaty Advances With Speed
The Praetor of Oleria Diniarchus Marsallas confirms that 19 nations have already proposed ratification of the treaty to their respective parliaments.


Praetor of Oleria Diniarchus Marsallas

After the creation of the Gene and Seed Vault Project a little over a century ago, many nations unofficially joined the project, providing the necessary material for it. However, it is now that the regional government has formalized the creation of the Gene and Seed Vault in the form of an international treaty, to which 19 nations have already adhered at the moment.

"We are very happy with this result"

, declared the Praetor.

"And above all to see the level of involvement of many nations, who understand that there is no room for partisan or political interests in this matter. We are talking about science and the preservation of our environment and life itself on our planet, and in this issue there should be no room for political distinctions or conflict of any kind. "

Mr. Marsallas, a biologist by profession, has responded to Malivia's statements using the plants as supposed proof of the existence of the Greater Malivian Empire by saying that "it is called science."

"Continental drift is a fact, as is the movement of plants and animals from one place to another that may now seem distant to us. There are no further statements on this matter."

The Praetor has also taken the opportunity to encourage more nations to join the treaty.
