Dorvish Foreign Minister: "North Dovani quickly approaching "Red Line"..."
July 5191

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - Dorvish Foreign Minister Leon Egner stated that North Dovani was closely approaching that "Red Line" that would prompt Dorvik and others in the international community to act. "North Dovani's belligerent actions have prompted many in the world to take notice. We wholly condemn the regime in North Dovani for overthrowing the legitimately elected government and now, with apparent proof, has committed grave human rights abuses and we cannot allow that. I've stated it before but I'll state it again: North Dovani is approaching the "Red Line" for the Kingdom and we will act if necessary. We've done it before and we'll do it again." The Foreign Minister stated he needed more concrete proof of human rights abuses before the Kingdom would be forced to act. The Dorvish have allegedly reached out to Ostland and attempted to garner support for the "Red Line" through them. First year Ostlandic Foreign Minister Emil Rottmayr confirmed that the Intelligence Bureau for the East (Dundorfian: Nachrichtenstelle für den Orient) which focuses primarily on Dovani-based intelligence, has been investigating the matter and is, allegedly, close to finding concrete proof. The Intelligence Bureau for the East is one of the better intelligence operations in the region and has been involved in these sort of operations before and some western intelligence sources lean on them for information that is harder to find. The Foreign Minister commented that political repression appeared to be present with the confirmation that former Prime Minister Emeka, and former Justice minister Tong Tohyon and former Defense minister Ifeatu Onyekachi. The Foreign Minister was critical of the reports that the former Prime Minister died of health complications when all indications were he was healthy and had been arrested, tortured and eventually murdered.

Dorvish infrastructure project expands border trading outposts, oil/gas terminal in Miktar
July 5192

Southern Dorvik As a component of the 125m infrastructure program started by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the large trading hubs bordering Aloria and Kirlawa have been expanded according to the governments of Miktar and Largonia. Provincial Minister of Trade and Industry of Miktar, Lydia Huwyler, the expansion in Miktar has been aimed at furthering exports of cold-weather crops to southern Artania while also expanding railway connections to coastal Miktar where the Dorvish have developed a brand new oil and gas hub where they can conduct upstream and downstream activities. "Due to tensions with the Trigunian government there has been an uptick in requests for Dorvish gas and oil. This is something that we are all too happy to oblige. The increase in trade has prompted up to utilize the loans and grants provided by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to expand our rail operations." Miktar, often considered to be one of the "breadbaskets" of Dorvik, largely southern Miktar, has experienced a general revival as more and more governments break their isolationist stance and become involved in world affairs. There has been an increase in purchases of food, mostly for humanitarian aid generated by the conflict in North Dovani as well as general tensions with Trigunia and other states.

The Dorvish-Alorian border post was expanded to handle increased trade from across Artania and handle shipping up towards northern Largonia and Greater Kordusia. In addition the Dorvish port at Weinsedorf has seen the largest increase in trade from the eastern portion of Dovani as well as the ports that dot the coast of western Artania. Minister-President of Largonia, Lukas Semmler, announced that they had been working with the infrastructure loan to expand access to Grenzmark, the city on the Dorvish-Alorian border that handled a vast majority of trade coming in from Artania to most parts of Dorvik.

BREAKING NEWS: Dorvik denies Dundorfian assassination, condemns reckless actions of Dundorf
July 5194

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - State Chancellor Maximilian Wegscheider denied the accusation that Dorvik carried out the assassination of the Minister of the Interior of Dundorf, Anton Dietrich. "The Kingdom of Dorvik categorically denies any involvement in the assassination of Dundorf's Interior Minister. We condemn such actions and we have no connection with Karl Lebens whatsoever. I have confirmed with the Dorvish Interior Ministry that Karl Lebens is not a Dorvish citizen nor do we have any records of a person fitting that description or age currently as a resident of Dorvik." The State Chancellor also condemned the fact that the Dundorfian government was attempting to garner support for whatever reason as Dundorfians around the globe condemn the act of violence. Reichsleiter Lorenz Schmadel, the Volksdundorfische Cultural Association leader for Dundorf who currently resides in Dorvik due to his non-Communist political ideology, has cited the desire for the Dundorfian government to "...incite violence as a pretext for cracking down on opposition groups. Dundorf has once again descended into left-wing hell and autocracy." The State Chancellor also confirmed that only a handful of "Dundorfian", businesses, meaning registered with the Interior Ministry as being from Dundorf proper, reside in Dorvik.

The State Chancellor cited the Law of Return for Ethnic Dorvish and Invitation for Ethnic Dundorfians, and Duntrekkers as a means for Dundorfians attempting to escape Dundorf as a means to entice more Dundorfians to come to Dorvik. "Once again the Artanian continent is forced to contend with a Dundorf that is a left-wing autocracy. It is a shame and we wholly condemn this course of reckless action that will do no good for either country, especially since it is an outright lie." The impact of the Dundorfian "actions" will be minor on Dorvik as a whole.

Dorvish Trade Commission in Kundrati; efforts aimed at agriculture and financial services
February, 5195

Kundrati - Dorvish Trade Commissioner Heiko Myrthenbaum confirmed that the Dorvish Trade Commission had visited Kundrati this past week to discuss economic development cooperation with the government. Dorvish Trade Commissioner for Artania Anselm Orler confirmed that the visit was aimed at the development of investment into Kundrati agriculture. The Foreign Economic Fund, the primary vessel of investment for the Dorvish Trade Commission was joined by the new Artanian Development Fund which was set up in recent decades to better focus on the development of Artania as a whole. Benedict Hössler, a member of the board of the Artanian Development Fund, noted that the investment into Kundrati would be focused around infrastructure related to the transportation of agriculture goods, introducing new, more modern equipment as well as direct loans and grants to Kundrati farmer based on market need of crops. Dorvish businesses also were involved in many of these deals as the Dorvish farming equipment industry remains one of the largest in Artania. Benedict Mallwitz, the CEO of Obst-Chris Kocher, a Dorvish-based agricultural equipment manufacturer attended meetings with Kundrati farmers in an attempt to discover needs and desire of Kundrati farmers and noted he would be working with several privately outside of those who might receive grants and loans from either the Foreign Economic Fund or the Artanian Development Fund.

Representatives from the Dorvish Development Bank were also present, largely to discuss private investment into Kundrati, notably in the field of financial services. The Dorvish Development Bank has grown into one of the most prominent pro-Artanian forces for economic development and has focused in recent years on the development of financial services. The Dorvish Trade Commissioner for Artania was able to bring representatives from major Dorvish banks to the table and those that operated in Kundrati already discussed with the Kundrati government about expanded operations. The most notable investment was announced by the Dorvish-based State Commercial Bank which does not currently have operations in Kundrati. Klara Klopfer, Vice President for Artanian Operations, announced that the State Commercial Bank would be opening 15 new branches in Kundrati and would, similar to their operations in Dorvik, focus on the development of ties with the more rural and small cities before opening more branches in larger cities of Kundrati. "State Commercial Bank has always been dedicated to the so-called "little guy" and the focus of the Kundrati economy of agriculture matches up great with us and our efforts." The two other major banks in Dorvik, Reichsbank and Artanian Bank have promised "major opening" in Kundrati in the following years after they engage in more in-depth discussions with the Kundrati government. Commissioner Orler applauded the efforts of private businesses in assisting the development of Artania and developing economies such as Kundrati.

Is Wegscheider eyeing a retirement?
December 5195

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - State Chancellor Maximilian Wegscheider has not announced his intentions to stand for leadership of the NVP yet. Wegscheider has been the leader of the NVP and by virtue State Chancellor since October 5167 and has allegedly looked towards retirement. The now 67 year old State Chancellor will see an election in two years and already some within the NVP have decided to start attempting to anoint the next leader of the NVP and the Kingdom of Dorvik. Initially when the NVP was founded there was few, if any "wings" or "factions" within the party but that has since changed. Members from the Free Conservatives and Hosian Democrats have become strange bedfellows, but make up a prominent component of the current membership of the NVP in the State Council, the other faction the Dorvish Worker's faction is slightly more right-wing and has been able to hold onto a fair share of their influence in the party. Several smaller factions have been formed, including an Octobrist group that have once again shown to be prominent when garnering support with the Dorvish people and have recently elected several deputies to the State Council in the October 5191 election.

When it comes down to leadership and who might compete for power, you have prominent State Council Deputy Leon Clasen who is the "leader" of the Free Conservative faction and has been a fresh young face for the party since his election to his Greater Kordusia-based seat in the October 5191 election. The Free Conservatives tend to be more free market, socially liberal compared to typical "Dorvish capitalism" that has been the mainstay of the NVP as a whole for several decades. The more recent formation, the Hosian Democrats, are lead by prominent State Council Deputy Katja Steinheil who is the Chairwoman of the Committee on Culture and Language. The Hosian Democrats stormed into the political scene in Dorvik with nearly 75 deputies being elected after their formation internally within the NVP. The Independent Confessional Church in Dorvik has experienced a massive revival in the past several decades notably as the divide between its Independent Confessional and Ameliorate leadership has become increasingly divided again.

The Octobrist, a relatively background faction which has supported candidates in multiple internal factions has no clear leader but in the event that they intend to compete for leadership they will surely select one among them that is already considered to be a leader of the faction. The more right-wing Dorvish Workers' faction has been supportive of Reichsleiter for Dorvik (VDKV) and State Council Deputy Leopold Gerstacker who was elected in October 5191 after competing for a seat in Miktar, his home province. Several other minor factions have been supportive of the generally "larger" internal factions within the NVP and it is likely that it will come down to a competition between the three major "factions": the Free Conservatives, the Hosian Democrats and the Dorvish Workers'.

Wegscheider hangs up the hat, Steinheil to become State Chancellor?
December 5196

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - State Chancellor Maximilian Wegscheider announced that he will not seek the leadership of the NVP in the coming months and his decision to step down from the State Chancellery in the coming election. The decision was not made easily but the decision as to who might lead the NVP and the Kingdom of Dorvik might have an answer. Rumors have surfaced that the Free Conservative and Hosian Democrat factions of the NVP have entered into an alliance to support each other in the coming leadership contest. Sources within the party state that the leader of the Hosian Democrat's Katja Steinheil will be set to become the State Chancellor and leader of the Free Conservatives, State Council Deputy Leon Clasen, will become the Vice State Chancellor and play a fundamental role in the development of the government. It is believed that the Octobrist will throw their weight behind whomever will approach them and bring them into the fold, likely to be Clasen who remains close with several prominent Octobrist leaders within the faction. Steinheil, the current Chairwoman of the Committee on Culture and Language, was considered to be a "dark horse" candidate and but has been a prominent member of the State Council for nearly 14 years, serving her second term as a Deputy in the State Council. Steinheil served last session of the State Council as the Parliamentary State Secretary of Education and Culture before resigning her post to become Chairwoman of the Committee on Culture and Language.

Steinheil, a devout Independent Confessional Hosian, comes from a family with close ties to Largonia and grew up in northern Largonia herself. Steinheil was elected to the single-member constituency of Schwarzenbüren, the capital of Largonia, and has served 2 terms as a Deputy in the State Council. Steinheil shot to prominence when she founded with several others the Hosian Democrat wing of the NVP. In recent decades Dorvik has experienced a sort've "religious revival" and the prominence of the Independent Confessional Church of Dorvik has propelled itself back into a prominent role in society.

King and Kaiser Leopold VIII receives Lourennais King Louis IX for a massive state visit
July, 5196

Haldor, Greater Kordusia - His Majestic Highness Leopold VIII, State Chancellor Katja Steinheil, Trade and Industry Minister Martin Rathenau, Dorvish Trade Commissioner Madlene Enzensberger and Dorvish Trade Commissioner for the East Wilhelm Alex Le Sueur, an ethnic Dorvish-Canrillaise, received HRM King Louis IX, the Queen Consort and the Crown Representative in Haldor. It was the first state visit for His Majestic Highness since the passing of his father, His Majestic Highness Otto XX only a year ago. His Majestic Highness, the King and Kaiser and Queen and Kasierin-Consort Annemarie von Faust-Essen received HRM King Louis IX and the Queen Consort and traveled with them to the Eastern Palace, the residence of Dorvish monarchs in the capital of Haldor. The event was one of the largest state visits in recent memory and the Dorvish spared no expense to welcome back the House of Orleans-Vasser-DeChambeau back to the throne of Lourenne and one of Lourenne's staunchest allies historically. The King and Kaiser when asked noted that monarchies provided an important centerpiece for the nation to look to during times of trouble and the House of Orleans-Vasser-DeChambeau had been that "rock" for the Canrillaise people and their return to the throne was a signal that Lourenne had finally found its way through the darkness. "One might joke that it is the "Return of the King"." The new King and Kaiser joked with the press. The new King and Kaiser is well known for his often cool, sometimes aloof demeanor and his jovial attitude with the press.

The two day affairs started with a visit with the new State Chancellor, the Trade and Industry Minister and the Dorvish Trade Commissioners. The focus was primarily on the discussion of economic cooperation, mutual investment and the dropping of tariffs on certain commodities. This was largely done by the government officials of both countries with the King and Kaiser and King looking on and providing input as they felt necessary. That night they attended a royal ball hosted at Königspalast in Königsstadt, a suburb right outside of Vinisk, Dorvan. The royal ball was attended by hundreds of guests from all walks of life, from military, to business, to civilian to others. At the royal ball the King and Kaiser conferred upon King Louis IX the class of Grand Commander of the House Order of Faust-Essen in addition to the Grand Cross of the Order of the Red Eagle as a honor to the staunch support the Loureannais and Canrillaise government and people have provided to the Dorvish people over the past several years. The second of the two days the King and Kaiser and the King attended Dorvish State League football matches in addition to visit historical sights around Dorvik before seeing the Loureannis Royals depart.

Dorvish ramp up oil/gas production in face of Trigunia slow-down; offer Kafuri money in privatization bid
December 5199

Dorvish Foreign Minister Gregor Stadtbäumer announced that the Dorvish Natural Resources and Technical Management Corporation would be interested in purchasing stakes in a privatized Kafuri Petroleum Corporation should the decision be made to take it private. "The Dorvish have held long-term investments in Kafuri society and the Kafuri economy, we continue to maintain notable relations and economic cooperation with the Kafuri people and we'd like to be involved in any discussions or opportunities related to KPC." In the wake of the announcement that Neftkomp, currently the worlds largest oil and gas producer, would be slowing down production due to "operational concerns", the Dorvish have tasked their own oil industry with attempting to make up the difference in a slow-down to production. Chief Engineering Officer for NordOl, Hannes Spiegelmann, the NTVS company charged with holdings for Dorvish oil and gas production stated that the Dorvish could enhance their capabilities to make up for some of the shortfall but could not match the likes of Trigunia or any other major oil and gas producers such as Jakania, Kafuristan, Badara or Vascania. According to the Foreign Minister the Dorvish Trade Commissioner for Majatra, Maik Kruger, has made offers to the Kafuri government related to the privatization in addition to an official offer from the Dorvish Foreign Office.
