Three attackers found, two in custody, one killed
December, 4652

Haldor, Kordusia - President Florian Regismund von Rohr-Mauss and State Chancellor Johannes Josef von Bahr, following the terrorist attack in Haldor which left five Dorvish citizens dead and scores more injured, immediately proclaimed a local state of emergency. The proclamation was done directly by the majority in the State Council and they chided the Communist Oberprasident of Kordusia for "...failure to act." The Ministry of the Interior deployed all available police resources and brought in the State Security Service and the Security Police of the State Security Service. Of the three attackers, two were confirmed captured within an hour and the third was shot dead by members of the State Security Service on a south-bound chase down the main highway in Haldor. State Chancellor Bahr commented that the attack was "...random, poorly planned and ultimately a cowardly act." The State Chancellor also chimed in the planned operations to track down further Ahmadi State in Majatra cells that operated across Dorvik and across Artania, he noted that any attack on the Dorvish people, at home or abroad was a flat out declaration of war. The State Chancellor also responded to the claims of outgoing, rump President Olaf Hersch who the State Chancellor, and members of the Council of Ministers blasted as "...insensitive and callous." for commenting on political events during a time of national tragedy. "It is but another reason why the Communist in Dorvik fail time and time again, they do not care for the Dorvish people, only their sick and twisted sense of power."

It is reported that raids were conducted across Dorvik, aimed at several religious locations where the attackers are reported to have frequented. All of the attackers were citizens of southern Majatran states, Jakania, Kafuristan and Cildania. The Dorvish Foreign Minister has already called for the respective representatives from these nations to answer to the President and the Dorvish government; the Kafuri are expected to meet with their former close allies within the month of December and again in the month of January. The raids conducted by the State Security Service also were aimed at radical, militant Communist and Socialist groups which the State Security Service claims to have "...ties to the attackers." The comments in light of the recent poorly received comments by rump President Hersch have triggered counter-protests to the Communist. Unions for the police, spokespersons for the security, intelligence and military have denied such claims and have stated that they have only removed those who have be found with radical ties across the political spectrum.

Dorvish economy slow growth, but steady
July, 4658

Haldor, Kordusia - Despite a lull in Dorvish government actions abroad, the Dorvish government has continued a number of domestic projects. This includes a wide number of projects in conjunction with newfound partners in Aloria. Dorvish companies have invested, over the past several years, a large sum of Dorvish Dolgars into Aloria. The investment has been bilateral, Alorian companies have found new homes in Dorvik and have bolstered the southern economies which have largely flourished underneath the Social Nationalist Party. Companies such as Bismarck AG, Ebner AG and others have been developing new branches and subsidies in Aloria due to increased cooperation brought by President von Rohr-Mauss and State Chancellor von Bahr; the two have worked closely with their counterparts in Aloria to build a new series of relationships. The Dorvish Armed Forces also started conducting bilateral exercises with the Armed Forces of Aloria; the focus primarily on naval and amphibious warfare type actions. Aloria owns a number of Dorvish-produced and built ships, such as the Kordusian-class frigate or the Ostmark-class frigate which have been in service with the Alorian Navy for several years and updated by Dorvish companies.

Haldor, underneath the auspices of the Foreign Ministry, has worked to rebuild relations with countries such as Kazulia and Lourenne, traditional allies of Dorvik. Increased trade and partnerships have allowed the Dorvish economy to grow, slowly by steadily. Domestic production has increased as economic liberalization has returned under the Social Nationalist Party. The Dorvish economy temporarily dipped following the terrorist attacks in Haldor, but were recovered within several months. The attack by ASIM was one of the first major, foreign terrorist threats that were carried out by a major terrorist organization in several decades. The Dorvish security and intelligence forces were praised for their quick response and eventually they were all apprehended and captured, including those in Aloria who fled across the Dorvish border. The Dorvish Border Police have continued to increase patrols and UAV surveillance to thwart those who break Dorvish Immigration and Emigration Law. According to sources within the Dorvish Police, the increased surveillance on terrorist groups has increased.

Law on Political Security passed
March 4665
Haldor, Kordusia - Dorvish Minister of the Interior Vithmiris Friedrich von Faust-Essen defended the new "Law on Political Security" today in a press conference. The radical, militant left in Dorvik have continued to crusade and attempt to undermine the democratically elected, legitimate government of the Dorvish Republic and the Law on Political Security seeks to protect that. The law, which passed the State Council with split lines of the SNP voting for and the Communist voting against, allows the Dorvish government to select an appoint political appointees that are partisan in nature, a move that the radical, militant left have decried. Despite this, the government of Dorvik is said to be operating at "...peak efficiency..." where the SNP has majority. Governments in Kordusia and Westmark have faulted due to local Communist obstruction in which many citizens have called and rallied against the Communist Party in Kordusia and Westmark; including the capitals of the respective provinces. Luckily for Haldor, the position of Lord Mayor is held by a member of the SNP. While the centerpiece of SNP legislation, the SNP has also worked on further liberalizing the Dorvish economy from underneath previous Communist-era laws and policies. The "Law on Economics" has worked to free up the Dorvish economy for more domestic and foreign investment, notably from Dorvish allies such as Lourenne, Kazulia and a potential return to relations with Hutori.

In addition to the Law on Political Security and Law on Economics being passed, the State Security Service has continued to conduct intelligence gathering operations and raids on suspected and legitimate Ahmadist targets, including the arrest of five Ahmadist who were plotting to target a border crossing between Aloria and Dorvik. The State Security Service has also stepped up its raids on illegal and underground radical, militant leftist organizations that were plotting several terrorist attacks.

SNP continues to promote nuclear energy
July, 4666

Haldor, Kordusia - President Florian Regismund von Rohr-Mauss welcomed the arrival of the "Dorvish Fatherland Party" in a press conference earlier today when discussing regional economic ties with Aloria and other countries, such as a reinvigorated Narikaton and Darnussia. President Rohr-Mauss noted that it was possible he would be making further state visits to Aloria and Narikaton and Darnussia, he also mentioned the possibility of rebuilding ties with Hutori and Kazulia. The Dorvish foreign policy has largely been maintaining the status quo and building domestic economic output. For instance, the Dorvish Natural Resources Technical Management Corporation, which manages the oil and gas wealth of Dorvik, has increased its share in building nuclear power plants across Dorvik. Prior to the rise of the SNP government, Dorvik had five nuclear power plans, that number has nearly tripled. The original five received "Modernization" programs, another five smaller power plants are currently being converted to full-size plants and the NTVS is planning to build several more plants to bring the Dorvish total to fifteen (15). Nuclear power has been a tenant of the SNP's energy policy, reducing the reliance on foreign energy imports and building domestic independence of energy. While the Dorvish continue to promote and build electric vehicles, the Dorvish still produce and rely largely on foreign oil for their motor vehicles. The Dorvish, in true Dorvish fashion, have continued to expand their military wargames over the past several years. The Dorvish Armed Forces have continue to expand from large-formation warfare, to small more focused combat formations such as the Dorvish Fallschirmjager, the Army's Stormtroopers and other elements such as the Dorvish Marines.

Herr von Kroeger rose to prominence as he was involved in the Alorian-Kazulian coal terminal deal and assisted in building future relations with Kazulia regarding the use of Dorvish ports to transport goods from Dorvik to across the globe, notably to Dovani. At a conference of the Dorvish-Kazulian Trade Council, a non-for profit organization dedicated to increased trade between Kazulia and Dorvik, he spoke regarding the development of a relationship between Dorvik and the WDEA as a whole while increasing specific trade agreements with countries such as Lourenne, Kazulia and increasing a new relationship with Ostland. The announcement comes after long tenured State Chancellor Johannes Josef von Bahr announced his retirement. The rest of the future Council of Ministers has not been announced but there are some speculations. In his announcement, the President also announced that he would be searching for a successor with the leadership of the SNP to take over the mantle of leadership.

Despite the recent trend that the Minister of Defense has held the position of Inspector-General of the Armed Forces, the overall head of the Supreme General Staff, the announcement came that General of the Fallschirmjager Marius Hansch will be taking over the role of Inspector-General and another officer will be appointed to the Ministry of Defense. General Hansch will be promoted to the rank of Colonel-General in the Dorvish Air Force and will oversee the operational control of the Dorvish Armed Forces. The Ministry of Defense has largely taken a civil administrative role whereas the Supreme General Staff is focused on all aspects of war and planning for the DAF. In the announcement with President von Rohr-Mauss, the incoming Inspector-General noted that the Dorvish Armed Forces as a whole needs to advance forward, need to undertake peacekeeping and training missions abroad and focus on continual development of its equipment and training standards. His first official act was the announcement of ten exercises. The first "Eagle" will focus on the deployment of a quick response force to a domestic threat, the second "Bear" will focus on an arctic deployment in the portion of the arctic shelf that Dorvik is close to, the third "Lion" will focus on increasing the deployment of the elite Dorvish Fallschirmjager into a war zone. The remainder have not been planned by these exercises will be held over the course of three years in addition to smaller exercises. General Hansch also noted that the development of international relationships was key for future success.

The State Chancellor spoke with several dozen business leaders about building economic relations with foreign countries such as Kazulia, Lourenne and Hutori. The sudden rise of Hulstria again had provided another market in Dovani for the Dorvish people to invest and become involved in.

State Chancellor plans visit to Hulstria
July, 4675

Haldor, Kordusia - Dorvish State Chancellor Maximilian von Kroeger and a cadre of Dorvish government officials are prepping for a state visit to Hulstria in August, 4675. The State Chancellor, Finance Minister Hans von Auernheimer, veteran statesman and General-Plenipotentiary at Large, Lars von Götz and several dozen other officials will be visiting. The state visit will be to discuss re-opening Hulstria's markets to Artania as well as increased cooperation with a potential Dovani ally. Alongside the state visit to Hulstria, the Dorvish will make a stop towards the end of August to Ostland. The State Chancellor will continue to expand Dorvish trade and economic cooperation overseas, notably in the field of energy and financial services. Dorvik is widely considered to be the financial capital of Artania, this is a recent trend since the Holy Luthori Empire had undergone a series of political periods where instability in government prompted them to flee. Despite the recent Dorvish bout with radical, militant communism and socialism, the SNP has stood firm against radical changes and has allowed for Haldor and other Dorvish cities to grow into bastions of financial services and a post-industrial economy.
