A Triumphant Return or a dangerous political game?
January, 4488

Haldor, Kordusia - In a triumphant return or a dangerous political game, the All-Dorvish League registered with the State Elections Council as a national political organization. In an extraordinary session of the All-Dorvish People’s Council, the delegation that elects the Political Leadership Council and the State Leadership Council selected Volker Reigmsund von Rohr-Mauss, the oldest inheritor of Reigsmund von Rohr-Mauss’s (better known as Raymond Petrov) as the new ADV Chairman.

The new ADV Chairman has some radical ideas, his first call for a “...new order...” was an unprecedented break with the Northern Council which he called “...a failed organization now underneath Kazulian leadership. The failure exists on both Hutori and Dorvik as well, we failed but we will need more effort from our allies.” The ADV Chairman also called for the fight against instability and chaos, mentioning the recent civil war in nominal ally Narikaton and Darnussia. He cited “communist and socialist” obstruction as the reason why the government in Dorvik could not act.

In his victory speech Volker decried the inactive nature of Dorvik on the world stage, again blaming communist and socialist obstruction. He called for a “...renewed Artanian regional organization underneath Dorvish leadership.” He also decried the poor state of Artanian leadership in the world.

The ADV Chairman said he was eager to get to work alongside Alliance ‘73 and the Pragmatic Liberal Democrats if it was at all possible with elections coming. The announcement of the parties reformation brought jubilation to the normally conservative Dorvan province. Reichsfuhrer Wilhelm Leopold von Bähr welcomed the All-Dorvish League back to politics in Dorvik and noted that the VDKV would be supportive of their election efforts. Rohr-Mauss did not announce his selection for party secretaries yet and is expected to make his announcement soon.

Is Dorvik prepared?
February, 4488

Haldor, Kordusia - ADV Party Secretary for Defense and a former staff officer of the Supreme General Staff Major Gen. Wilhelm Herschel in an interview with the newspaper has condemned the down turn in attention paid to the Dorvish Armed Forces. The Maj. Gen. Asserts that the “Communist and socialist obstructionist” have condemned the Dorvish to a “...weak nation without leaders.” The Maj. Gen. cited the current alliance of the now defunct Liberal Union, the Pragmatic Liberal Democrat’s and Alliance ‘73 as the only hope for Dorvik against the “...red scourge.”

The Maj. Gen. went on to explain that the Dorvish Armed Forces have not properly conducted war games in several years, have not met their obligations for training or readiness. When asked the Maj. Gen. stated that the DAF were operated at only 60% and that the failure was not necessarily on the current government but previous governments. He also cited issues with maintenance and the problems recruiting soldiers to fight understand the shadow of a communist and socialist government.

Budget cuts, mismanagement and a wide variety of issues have plagued the DAF. A series of temporary, highly contentious Inspector-Generals have been unable to make much headway before being replaced or having to answer to senseless inquiries by the Communist and Socialist who manage to lie and deceive their way into power.

When asked about the status of the DAF if someone where to come to power, the Maj. Gen. noted that the Dorvish habe obligations to overseas bases such as the Tanus von Desidier Naval Installation in Kafuristan, whose status is unknown due to a rise of a pro-Communist/Socialist government in Kafuristan. As well as obligations to a naval base on Ostland founded by agreement following the end of the Dovani War.

The Maj. Gen. also attacked Alliance ‘73 for the proposed “treaty” with Solentia that permits Solentia to open a military base on Dorvish soil. The Maj. Gen. noted that while the Dorvish had somewhat fallen they were not to be made pawns of some small, negligible power in Majatra and demanded that the proposal be withdrawn. The Maj. Gen. also pointed out that it was illegal under current Dorvish laws referencing the Law on the Defense of Dorvish Territorial Sovereignty which passed without opposition in the State Council and forbids any foreign power from possess a military base or installation, or even foreign forces from residing on Dorvish soil.

General Herschel has called on all parties to condemn the affront to Dorvish territorial sovereignty outright. While the recent Zardic Institute of International Affairs rankings have slightly downgraded Dorvik, it goes without saying that the Dorvish Armed Forces and Dorvik as a whole can easily recapture their place in the world. Dorvik has tremendous wealth and natural resources, one of the few places where timber is constantly an economic miracle as well as having a thriving cold-weather agriculture industry.

Dorvik is Liberated
July, 4489

Haldor, Kordusia - The ADV celebrated their first electoral victory in decades a as they capture 90 seats in the temporarily named “House of Representatives”. The coalition agreement saw the ADV place their support behind the Liberal Pragmatic Party who saw candidate Eugenie Wagener elected as President. This paved the way for Volker Joachim von Rohr-Mauss to be named State Chancellor. The ADV’s delegation proposed a bevy of new legislation including constitutional amendments to restore the Dorvish Republic in its proper form.

The most notable piece of legislation is the withdrawal from the Northern Council. Incoming Minister of Foreign Affairs Eckhardt Röhr called the treaty a “detriment” to the Dorvish Republics safety and security as we as its growth. The recent down-ranking of Dorvik from a world power to a regional power spurred numerous protest to the communist and socialist obstructionist; notably from the often conservative military and security services that had been forced to almost entirely buckle underneath the pressure from communist and socialist.

Jörn Scholz was elected as the Oberpräsident of Largonia, Günter Sauer was elected as the Oberpräsident of Dorvan, the most conservative province in Dorvik handily elected Sauer as the leader of Dorvan. The local leadership will seek to revive industries that were often neglected or outright nationalized by communist and socialist supporters. The ADV leadership will also bring an influx of wealth of numerous financial backers who fled following the communist and socialist usurpation of power.

The first order of business was naming Wilhelm Herschel as the Minister of Defense while subsequently naming him Inspector-General of the Armed Forces of Dorvik as well as Chief of Staff of the Supreme General Staff. He was subsequently promoted to Colonel-General from his rank of Major General; he serves as a Dorvish Army Officer and a previous Supreme General Staff Officer.

Baltusian delegation visits Haldor
August, 4489

Haldor, Kordusia - Rumors have sprouted up that the Dorvish exit from the Northern Council has granted Dorvik authority to operate outside of Northern Council channels. Those rumors might hold true, Secretary of State Marisa Woodbury arrived at Petrov International Airport (an announcement was made that it would be changed to Rohr-Mauss International Airport by the Ministry of the Interior) on August 5th, 4489 early in the morning. Minister of Foreign Affairs Eckhart Röhr made a quick press announcement prior to the arrival of the delegation carrying the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Commerce Alexander Ross and the Baltusian Ambassador to Dorvik. The delegation that greeted them at the airport included Minister of Foreign Affairs Eckhart Röhr, Dorvish General-Plenipotentiary (Ambassador) to Baltusia Alfred Eisenmenger, Minister of Trade and Industry Thaddäus Florian von Desidier as well as the notable inclusion of Lieutenant General Fabian Panzer of Office 1b (Amt Ib) the Foreign Defense Office of the Supreme General Staff.

The delegation arrived at the State Chancellery building and met State Chancellor Volker Reigmsund von Rohr-Mauss at the State Chancellery; the Baltusian delegation would also meet new President Eugenie Wagener. The meeting was the first time that Baltusia has visited Dorvik in the modern era. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a further press statement that the Baltusian delegation would remain in Dorvik for several days to visit cultural sites, visit Haldor as well as high level meetings. The trip concluded on August 8th and the Minister of Foreign Affairs held a press conference. Reporters questioned the Foreign Minister regarding the handling of the trip and lack of fanfare around it. The Foreign Minister responded that the "...meeting was created at the last minute and we wanted to focus on the business at hand. I'm not going to be the Foreign Minister who speaks at press conferences, I'm here to make sure that Dorvik is represented well abroad and thats my focus people." The Foreign Minister served as the General-Plenipotentiary to Ostland for the Foreign Dundorfian Office of the Volksdundorfische Cultural Association where he developed a reputation as worker rather than a showman.

Information released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs included that the Foreign Economic Council and the Ministry of Trade and Industry would invest 250m LOD within 4 years and then another 250m LOD over the next 2 years with further investments to be forthcoming. A brief glimpse was given to the Lieutenant General who had joined them, he announced the the Artanian Defense Group which is mostly owned by Dorvish business owners and partially the Dorvish government, had announced that they would be opening a subsidiary in Baltusia to focus on defense information technology and military information. ADG is expected to bring 5m LOD or more to the Baltusian defense industry. While it should be noted that the breakdown in relations between Hutori and Dorvik (mostly due to the Communist and Socialist presence in the country's government but also because of the Northern Council collapse) many Hutorian companies, namely defense companies, have moved to Baltusia and the Dorvish are keen to invest in the growing Baltusian defense industry. This is the first major trade deal which includes standard trade policies such as increase trade, a mutual reduction of tariffs over the course of 10 years as well as other economic trappings.

Reporters were eager for information but the Foreign Minister stated that further information would be released later on as developments continued.

Dorvish Armed Forces hold massive war games
September, 4489

Dorvik - Inspector-General of the Armed Forces of Dorvik and Chief of the Supreme General Staff Generaloberst (Army) Wilhelm Herschel announced in late August that the Dorvish Armed Forces would be conducting wide scale war games in several locations around Dorvik. Perhaps the most prominent would be the massive airborne operations conducted on Dorvan and Westmark, the once feared Dorvish Air Force's Fallschirmjager will be in action across the two islands of Dorvik. The airborne training exercises will be focusing on logistical operations as well as command and control; it is an odd first that the Dorvish Air Force would be displayed so prominently in front of the Dorvish Navy and the Dorvish Army, but the changing nature of warfare maintains that the Dorvish stay ahead especially when they are behind. The 10th Panzergrenadier Division "Sacred Dorvik" was seen mobilizing outside of the base near Vilnau, where they are stationed which means that the Dorvish Army is the second to be preparing for war games.

The Dorvish Navy was conducting wide ranging operations focused around the two Kaiser-class aircraft carriers starting in October, the first time that the Dorvish Navy has not been the centerpiece of war games. Some are reporting that despite the downturn in rankings for the Dorvish military, the Dorvish Navy has continued to retain their edge but it is likely that they have more expansive war games planned for October. The two Kaiser-class aircraft carriers were seen on trials with their respective fleets, however no ammunition or anything else was fired or test fired. It remains to be seen what will happen with the future war games over the next several months.

Ministry of the Interior focuses on repairing security infrastructure
October, 4489

Haldor, Kordusia - Minister of the Interior Felix Leon von Auspitz-Topol announced that long-time State Security Service Senior State Security Director Karsten Vonhof would be taking over as the Chief of the State Security Main Office, the central office that manages the State Security Service, the State Criminal Police and the Security Police. Karsten Vonhof would be formally granted the State Security Main Office rank of Oberstgruppenführer which is the highest rank of the State Security Main Office and is granted to the Chief of the State Security Main Office. The State Security Main Office is the amalgamation of numerous attempts to central internal security offices of Dorvik which finally succeeded. The Ministry of the Interior announced that Sigismund von und zu Fürstenweg would take over as the Chief of Dorvish Police and would be responsible for rebuilding the Dorvish Police forces in the wake of neglect by the communist and socialist.

Numerous Security Police units have been recalled and numerous outgoing military officers have been assigned to replace them, a move widely seen to professionalize the Security Police units who became local tools for communist and socialist to suppress Dorvish citizens rights and trample on local democracy. The State Criminal Police began combing through false politically-motivated arrests and charges, the State Security Service also began combing through their own cases to ensure that any that were politically motivated were handled immediately. Similar to the Dorvish Armed Forces the State Security Main Office began conducting drills throughout the country.

Naval base at Babor reopens
January, 4490

Haldor, Kordusia - The Dorvish Ministry of Defense announced earlier this week that the Babor Naval Base would be reopening in the Aldegarian port city of Yaknavākht on the Schismatic Sea. The Babor Naval Base was closed when Aldegar had withdrawn from the Dorvish-Aldegar Treaty on Diplomatic Protocols and Agreements but had recently been renewed. The Dorvish Foreign Ministry and Foreign Minister Eckhart Röhr announced that the base would be reopening and the 1st Marine Infantry Division (Mot.) will be dispatched after being built during preliminary talks with Aldegar. The opening of the Babor Naval Base is good news for the Dorvish military as it provides them closer access to Dovani, this is the 2nd base to reopen following the discussions with Ostland to renew a lease on a naval base in the Sea of Carina.

Dorvik joins international inquiry into chemical weapons
August, 4491

Haldor, Kordusia - Colonel Roland Sepp, the Chief of the Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Weapons Inspectorate of the Supreme General Staff will be heading a Dorvish investigation into Barmenian chemical weapons use. The Kazulian report was a landmark and upon request of the Dorvish State Council, namely ADV politicians, the Dorvish Armed Forces launches an investigation joined by the Military Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service. The investigation will further look into claims that Barmenistan used chemical weapons.

Information related to the scope and scale of the investigation are limited but the Dorvish have been building relations with several Majatran nations; this could further enhance their ability to investigate the claims. While Dorviks influence has wained over the past several years and the scathing de-ranking from the Zardic Institute of International Affairs has hurt, the return of the ADV has signaled a herald for change in Dorvik. While unusual for the State Council to call for an investigation, rumor has it that it was prompted by military officials asking for a formal inquiry.

It is possible that Dorvik will Team up with Vanukuean investigators to look into Barmenian chemical weapons use as well. Dorvish State Chancellor decried what he called “State actors” under the guise of a “false flag” operation destroying facilities which potentially stored chemical and biological weapons. It is possible that Dorvik which maintains cordial relations with Barmenistan will impose sanctions.

In other Dorvish military news the Supreme General Staff announced new war games and exercises with Ostland. Information will be forth coming in the next several weeks.

"Restore Sacred Dorvik!"
April, 4492

Haldor, Kordusia - The electoral success for the All-Dorvish League and their leader Volker Regismund von Rohr-Mauss has brought the ADV back to the forefront of Dorvish politics. Dorvik is continuing to look forward and numerous social, economic and political programs that dried up underneath communist and socialist rule are returning. The Dorvish conscription has been reintroduced, allowing Dorvish citizens to learn to defend their sacred homeland but also allowing them to serve in civil service positions to acquire experience. State Chancellor Rohr-Mauss calls the program a "...resounding success" and noted that it "...displays the truest forms of patriotism and love for Sacred Dorvik. Dorvish citizens come out highly educated and are prepared for whatever this world throws at them." Campaigning has started for the July, 4493 elections in which the Pragmatic Liberal Democrats and the All-Dorvish League are running as allies, some political experts believe of convenience while others believe they are dedicated to the restoration of Dorvik as a global power.

Niko Wieser, whose serves as the Chief of the Political Leadership Council noted that most current ministers and senior government officials will remain on the ballot as well as likely to retain their position in the coming government. The Political Leadership Council is the summative leadership of the ADV's government leadership and the Chief of the PLC is responsible for a good majority of political ideology and political policy formation. The PLC has several hundred members which are spread throughout Dorvik and are charged with national, provincial and local leadership. The ADV are campaigning on the slogan of "Restore Sacred Dorvik!" something that is very near and dear to the hearts of many conservative and liberal conservative voters in Dorvik, notably in Dorvan, Largonia and parts of Miktar where the ADV enjoys local but not always national success.

State Chancellor Rohr-Mauss has bowed out of campaigning stating that he prefers to focus on the running of the government in place of campaigning, something he noted he'd leave to the Political Leadership Council and the State Leadership Council, which is ultimately responsible for elections. The All-Dorvish People's Council, the mass convention that elects officials convened and continued to be supportive of the current leadership of the All-Dorvish League. It is likely that if the ADV does not have another successful election that the ADPC will vote out the current leadership, including Chairman of the ADV; something that the ADPC has tolerated in the past.
