Selucia Continues Transformation
Education in hands of Order

Private schools and universities are forbidden in Selucia. Private Banks are forbidden. Order owns everything but small craftsmen enterprices and show business self-employed jokers. This will help people to learn more and earn more in this life and in the next life.
Worthy scientists shall be given a rank of monk and shall wear tunic during research. Universities are turned into and/or merged with Cloisters.
However Order has not taken everything under its control, The Project of Special Economic Zones or so called Free Cities is under discussion.

Orderstate of Selucko Supports Indrala

Grandmaster of the Selucko Orderstate Boris Ryssko expressed his support to Indralan brothers. "We officially and legally support Hanzen as part of united Indrala. We must fight wolves dressed up as sheep - the imperialists in the East and in the West. If there is a need and there comes a time Selucia will take up its arms and fight in the war against Zardugal-Pontesi-Hulstria axis shoulder to shoulder with our Indralan friends.
Well, at least we shall bomb, bomb, bomb those bastards that think of themselves as Terran rulers. There should be a reason why great Terran Catholic God created nuclear bomb, after all."

Minister of Islam Affairs Appointed

Mustafa Ali was appointed to be Minister of Islam Affairs by Grand Master Boris Ryssko. Mustafa, despite the laws of the land that prohibited Muslims to take role in military affairs or become a brother of Order, made a brilliant military carrier, becoming the general (Master) of Orderstate Army. His tactical and military knowledge far exceeded that of other soldiers and officers and exception was made specifically for him.

Selucian Orderstate: 2830-2852

After Boris Ryssko death Selucian Orderstate entered into times of chaos without legislative body. Political experts are looking at consequences of Orderstate on the Selucian Archipelago.
First of all - most of Selucian people became literate in Deltarian language. Despite this they would keep seeing this language as one of oppressors due to short life of Orderstate and would most likely get back into Latin - their mother tongue.
Second, all Selucian people were baptized into Terran Catholic Church. However only 20 years put them apart from their original faith, so old people will get back to their previous religions, some of the young ones with career opportunities within Orderstate would hold to new - Terran Catholic faith.
Third - Selucia is now open for any political power and its future is uncertain.
Fourth - new capital Parnumgrad was founded.

As to Order of St Parnum. There are no clear indication as to where the Order brothers went. Some claim they went to Squibble to fight for the lost Terran Catholic territories. Some claim they stayed in Selucia and neighboring countries and formed part of new business elite (due to their access to resources). Other believe they chose the direction of Deltaria and would fight for Terran Catholic rights straight in the heart of Mother Church.

Political Leader dies suddenly, party devastated

From the office of BPNPS intern leader, Fr. Phillip:

Today, March 27th, 2892, the Black Pope Nationalist Party was shocked to learn that our leader, founder, and a father in the eyes of the Orthodox Catholic Church, Fr. Arthur has died unexpectedly from a heart attack. His death was recorded at 1:45 PM this afternoon. He was found in the pastoral dormitories us priests have right outside St. Peter Claver's Church in Assedo, by our very own Fr. Elias, Selucian Secretary of Science and Technology, this morning, lying on the floor, clutching his chest, gasping for oxygen, his face pale.There, Fr. Andrew and Fr. Thomas, both of whom were nearby, rushed to the scene. The three Jesuits tried to pray and do all they could in the name of God, before they rushed him to the local hospital. He was pronounced dead after 3 hours there. This is a very heart wrenching event, and a few of our secretaries have already submitted their resignations. More importantly, we do not know the future of the BPNPS. As of now, I am the current intern leader, but I do not plan or wish to hold this position forever. Our party is in some very large turmoil right now, and we do not know what to do. In fact, are party may go through such radical changes that we may just disband, and leave as a major Selucian political party, and just leave the political spectrum all together. We look to President Hughes and the Conservative Party for their full help and support, and thank them for as much as they give. That is all.

3 Major Party Candidates Resign

It has not hit home to most Selucians, and BPNPS party members that their long time leader and spiritual father has deceased and been welcome into God's Kingdom. This event occurred six short months ago, and yet not one person associated with the BPNPS has yet to overcome this tragedy. As no party leader has yet to be determined, Fr. Phillip of West Shadar remains the intern leader. One of the future rumored leaders, Fr. Thomas, a person well supported by people everywhere, and is the Secretary of Justice in Selucia, has unexpectedly resigned from the party, and will hold his federal position until this new Cabinet is passed.
In joining Fr. Thomas, two of his close comrades, both BPNPS members, Br. Christopher and Br. Peter, have both left the party. Br. Peter was the party's Head of Defense as was Br. Christopher party Head of Internal Affairs, a position he served on the national level.

Tensions Arise Between Selucia, Al'Badara, Muslims expelled from Selucia

Auoria, Korgana:

With the recent events that have occurred in Selucia, Senators pushed bill ICP #130 (88) through with over 90% of the Senate voting in favor of the bill. The bill many controversial articles, most notably blaming Al'Badara and the Islam world for attacks on the Selucian Catholic Church. Fifteen years ago, the Vladimir, a Selucian Vessel was attacked by an unknown group, linked to a foreign country. The Vladimir contained Selucian Catholic Party leader Felipe, who was critically injured in the attack, but survived. Selucia re-installed the income tax for the first time in 70 years due to the attacks, to increase public safety and defense, but that was it, no further evidence could be found.

Up until that point, there were slight tensions between Muslims and other Selucians, but nothing major. When the Senate pushed another controversial bill through, mandating Selucian Catholicism on the people, that was the final straw for some extreme Muslims, as they carried out the assassination of Cardinal Conor de Victoria, who was at the time the most influential Catholic leader in the nation, some say. The Cardinal lead the ICP (Ignatian Catholic Party) for almost 40 years until his assassination. At the time of his passing, he was the only original member of the party, which was founded in 2877, to still participate in party politics.

The assassination was and has been confirmed to be carried out by a militant Muslim organization, who would not release their name. The Islamic Revolutionary Party, Selucia's newest party, was the first to confirm that this was carried out by a Muslim militant group, arousing suspicsions of many Selucians, especially Catholics. Father Andrew de Kabbasa, the current leader of the Ignatian Catholic Party tied this assassination back to the attack on the Vladimir, saying that both were attacks on the Catholic Faith, and both were carried out by the same people with the same cause. He stated that "It was clear that a terrorist group could not attack a vessel such like the Vladimir with a vessel of their own... they obtained their vessel with the support of a foreign country." Kabbasa later went on to say that Al'Badara was aiding these Muslim revolutionaries in order to "Spread Islam to Western Majatra."

The Holy Selucian Empire has responded to all of this with ICP #130 (88). As stated previously, the bill blames Al'Badara for the attacks on the Vladimir and for the assassination of Cd. Victoria. The bill also expels any Muslims found in Selucia, where a possible population exchange may occur with either Al'Badara or Kafuristan, Majatra's most heavily Islamic Nations. The Empire would like to ship any Muslim terrorist found off to a Dovani, with the help of Axis members such as Luthori and Zardugal.

Selucians in fear of lives after Badara's mobilizes for war

Auroria, Korgana -

Citizens in the Holy Selucian Empire are in much fear after Al'Badara's new war military excercises that came out they started developing some months ago. Theses military excercises promote warfare among the Badaran citizens, and is propoganda for the people to support a possible future war again Selucia, depending on the popularity of these military excercises by the Badaran populace. By encouraging these military excercises in such a realistic, professional, warlike manner, it is evident that all the United Badaran Emirates wants is to go to war with the Holy Selucian Empire.

These analysts are completely wrong, as the Holy Selucian Empire sees no point in attacking the UBE, but instead would like to minimize the military strength and power of the UBE in order to save the Selucian people. "When this window of time passes, and Badaran citizens are still not dying on the beaches of Shadar, the Badaran people will turn on their corrupt, power-seeking government" Minister of Defense Tizando said, in response to Al'Badara's recent news article.

"We forgave the sinking of the Vladimir. But the assassination of Cardinal Conor de Victoria was too much for Selucians too handle, and the Muslim World stepped over a major line there" Cardinal Brian Goldaria OP, of the Selucian Catholic Church stated. The Church, the Empire (which mandates the Church on the people in order for their safety), and many cabinet members support an anti-Muslim, anti-Badaran stance right now due to the current attacks on the Church, and on the Empire.

Image
Cardinal Brian de Goldaria, OP

The BNC (Badaran News Channel) stated that initiation of an Selucian attack, shows that Badara will not attack first. Yet, if you continue reading the article, you will later come across a line that says Badaran defence establishment have repeatedly rejected any probability of Selucian military strikes. The UBE has taken two sides, and now they need to pick one. Will they attack, or won't they? Selucia will use all the support they can get, be it from volunteers willing to serve their nation, or other countries. Military defenses such as submarines, vessels, infantry, and aircraft is completely guarding the east coast of the island of Shadar.

Selucia is well aware of Badara testing their missiles in Majatran water, and encourages nearby nations such as Kafuristan and Clidania to be as well prepared for war with Al'Badara as Selucia is. Brother Eric Sokeria SJ, Foreign Affairs Minister of Selucia, stated that "Badara is a threat to Northern Majatra. All surrounding nations must take action to secure themselves from a probably attack from this nation, lead by power seeking war mongers." He later went on to say that "if the UBE pollutes the sea once more, threatens a nation, action must be taken against them for the safety of Majatra."

Selucia kindly rejects Barmenistan's support for time being

Auroria, Korgana -

Selucian officials are glad to have the help, moral, and complete support of the Grand State of Barmenia. However, Selucia feels that at this time, intervention with the Axis would be complete suicide towards Barmenia, and asks Barmenia to hold off on aid until a decision has been reached on the Selucia/Al'Badara conference. The Holy Selucian Empire also asks the Holy Luthori Empire to reinstate it's Imperial Ambassador to Barmenia until Barmenia causes direct conflict with either Luthori, Selucia, Al'Badara, or any other Axis state.

Selucia removes ambassador to Al'Badara, holds Badaran ambassador in Selucia

Auroria, Korgana -

In response to the press conference held by Badara's foreign minister, the Holy Selucian Empire removed it's ambassador to Al'Badara, Tuditanus Helva. In what first might of been seen as a surprise attack to many Badaran citizens, three airplanes - two of which were fighter jets, in case Badara shot down the aircraft that was to rescue Mr. Helva, entered Vashti, Sumilkando at the municipal airport. Within 50 minutes, Mr. Helva was evacuated before Badaran authorities could stop him. He is currently safe in the nation's capital, Auroria.

Tuditanus Helva

Foreign Minister Erik de Sokeria SJ, held another press conference of his own this morning. He stated that "Badara is one nation. They should not be think for one moment, that they have the authority to threaten four other nations and still get away with it. Badara is a threat to all of Northern Majatra, and the only way we can stop that threat is to not give in to what they want." The Holy Selucian Empire has expressed when nations such as Badara, who pose as a threat to other Majatran nations, that they are involving these other Majatran nations in this conflict.

Talal Hannad

Too further the Holy Selucian Empire's concern of these dangerous tactics, such as preparing for war and launching missiles into the open Majatran Sea, the Holy Selucian Empire is now holding Al'Badara's ambassador to Selucia, Talal Hannad hostage until Al'Badara disposes of their missiles and weapons of war. Selucia understands that this action may be heavily frowned upon and disapproved by other Axis Nations, but Selucia has stated that their national security is more important to the populace then the approval of the Axis.

Selucia bashes Kreuz, shocked at Axis explusion

Auroria, Korgana -
Breaking News:

From the desk of Brother Eric Sokeria SJ, Foreign Affairs Minister of the Holy Selucian Empire

The Axis Organization, once held with much respect in Selucia, has now turned it's hideous back on the glorious Empire. As what Rutanian Foreign Minister Javier Kreuz started off with saying that Selucia was causing "bad deeds" and infringing on national sovereignty. Clearly, Kreuz has did not see the full story. Maybe launching missiles within 50 miles of three countries is infringing on national sovereignty. Maybe sinking a warship of an ally is infringing on national sovereignty. Perhaps Darnussia or Dorvik, or another western Artanian nation should lunch a missile within 50 miles of the Rutanian coast, threatening their citizens, and putting them in fear. Maybe Selucia was do all it could to keep it's people safe in case of a Badaran attack, which seemed to be the cause as they were mobilizing for war against Selucia, and possibly Kafuristan and/or Clidania. Maybe Kreuz should solve his own domestic threats, such as the crisis in Winthrop before intervening on foreign crisises. In the words of the Paddy Ahern, a true Rutanian, Kreuz "is on crack."

In regards to the Axis kicking Selucia out of their disgusting, distasteful corrupt organization that only satisfies horrific nations such as Zardugal, Luthori, Vanuku and Hulstria, along with petty Rutanians who do not represent their nation's true beliefs at all, Selucia wonders why. No, they Holy Selucian Empire will not fight this act, for their is no need, no purpose. The Axis did nothing at all to stop Badara from launching missiles that could've resulted in the deaths of many innocent civilians, throughout Kafuristan, Clidania and Selucia. But when Selucia takes one man, treats him like a king without any connection to the outside world, the Axis reveals it's ugly face, and throws away the mask it had shown Selucians for 90 years. As a result of this, Talal Hannad's dead body is now hanging in the streets of Goldaria, already pelted with tomatoes and eggs. Selucia has stated it will do no more, and that it is done with this crisis with Badara, for according to article 3 of the Axis Agreement, "No Axis nation shall attempt to interfere with the national sovereignty of another ; except in cases of hostility between signatory nations". There was clearly hostility between Selucian and Badara. Maybe the Axis is happy now that Selucia has stated their wish to end all hostility.
