Social Nationalist Party storms snap elections
January 4336

Haldor, Kordusia - There was a frenzy of emotion tonight at the SNP headquarters as the SNP celebrated an astounding win in the wake of the collapse of the National Socialist Union. The SNP won 141 seats, increasing their seat total by almost double. SNP Chairman Johannes Regismund von Rohr-Mauss stated that the victory was due to diligent Dorvish leadership domestically and abroad and that the work would continue; especially with the Artanian peace being at the heart of Dorvish foreign policy. SNP Chairman von Rohr-Mauss stated that he would actively be seeking to work with the Social Reciprocity Party and Our Party again in the wake of the DSU's collapse following an electoral defeat. The SNP Chairman noted that the government currently in-place would operate until further notice, until another could be agreed upon. Despite a disappointing showing in the Presidential election, the SNP Chairman called and congratulated Conservative and Reformist Alliance candidate and President-elect Therese Kuhne, who he said he shared a good conversation with.

The right-wing in Dorvik is starkly divided between those who support the traditional conservative political parties such as the Conservative and Reformist Alliance and those who support the more syncretic, historical Social Nationalist Party. The government negotiations are on-going, von Rohr-Mauss has stated that the current government's composition would likely remain similar if he had his preference, less the Dorvish Social Union whose collapse with rather unexpected.

Dorvish defense industry wins 12b in contracts for Jakanian military program
Majatran Organization for Industrialization and Foreign Economic Council set for large Jakanian investment

Haldor, Kordusia - Inspector-General Generaloberst Reinhard Regismund von Rohr-Mauss, Generalleutnant Voldemars Heitmann, Chief of Amt Ib (Foreign Defense Office), a representative from the Defense Exports Group (military and civilian leaders brought together to have a unified policy and handling of defense sale related issues), a representative from the Supreme Committee of the Majatran Organization for Industrialization and a large cadre of Dorvish military and defense officials, including industrialist from the military industry. The group was also joined by the Director-General of the Foreign Economic Council Karlis Maximilain von Desidier who was representing Dorvish economic interest in this deal. The deal calls for a 12b Dorvish Dolgar deal where a percentage of the deal is: 45% for aerial based equipment, 20% for naval equipment and 35% for land force based equipment.

The representative from the Majatran Organization for Industrialization stated that the systems were to be joint designs by the Dorvish Armed Forces, Dorvish defense industry, the Jakanian Armed Forces and the Jakanian defense industry. The designs include a bevy of modern naval systems, including frigates, destroyers and other smaller craft and a a new crop of modern locally produced land systems. The concepts for air for purchases will likely be updated Dorvish aircraft, including the Tornado and the Unionfighter. The economic boost for both the Dorvish defense industry and the investment of the Foreign Economic Council will likely pay off well for the Dorvish who will further secure themselves allies in Majatra, alongside historic ally Kafuristan.

The estimated FEC investment into Jakania is reported to be close to 50b Dorvish Dolgars.

Erwin Simons Resigns, Tug of War Begins

Erwin Simons announced he would be resigning as Party President a fight has begun for what both sides are calling the 'soul' of the party, factions led by Hanna Wu and others who are looking to the right, while the 'New Left' look to fresh ideas and democratic radicalisation set about reversing most of the nobility reforms, national service, etc. Hanna Wu announced she would not run instead backing her daughter, Elisa von Traisheim, and that she would be stepping down as Deputy Leader. Viktor Matthias Pletcher, and Carina Plank announced they would also run for the presidency. No candidates have yet come forward for the Deputy Leadership.

Image

Elisa is known for her idealisation of her of her Great, Great Grandfather, and Uncle, Kai and Valtin von Traisheim, who were the leaders of Forwards! a centre to centre-right political party between 4199 and 4215. She has been a strong backer of the 'Traditional Left', but argues for a new way forwards with centre-left social positions and a more centrist type approach to the economy, looking at a mixed-economy. Her policy paper on the monarchy, and nobility certainly ruffled feathers when she suggested that Dorvik should look at the monarchy again, although she didn't go as far as saying it would be adopted as policy.

Many of those in the 'New Left' said that should Elisa be elected they would certainly looking leaving to either the SGP or the newly formed Die Linke.
Formerly known a 'little boy Forwards!' in Dorvik, and sticking it. Ideologically messy. Chill as all fuck. Communicates through sarcasm. Currently playing in Luthori as the Civic Party.

"Welcome to the State Chancellery von Bahr!"
Former State Secretary and SNP front man takes State Chancellery
December, 4336

Haldor, Kordusia - Former State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Wilhelm Franz von Bahr was swore in earlier last month as State Chancellor of the Dorvish Republic. The swearing in comes after several months of coalition negotiations that saw the Social Nationalist Party, Our Party and the Social Reciprocity Party agree to continue working together but re-shuffling the Council of Minister's. The Social Nationalist captured several seats, including retaining Minister of the Interior Liebhard Anton von und zu Czimnetz, Inspector-General and Chief of Staff of the Dorvish Armed Forces Generaloberst Reinhard Regismund von Rohr-Mauss was announced as the new Minister of Defense, Wolfdietrich Otte was retained as Minister of Science and Technology and pressed to continue his work in a renewed Terran interest in the stars, while Constantin von Desidier, a member of the elite banking and financial family of von Desidier and a notable Lorman nationalist was appointed as the new Minister of Trade and Industry. The appointments come at a time of tension for the Artanian continent and have allowed Dorvik to retain its place in Artania ever-more.

New State Chancellor pulled off a diplomatic coup within a month of his appointment as he began discussion with the Holy Luthori Empire's Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrew Carter-Jones and eventually, the Luthori Minister of Foreign Affairs appeared in Petrov International Airport for a state visit to discuss Artanian events. Rumors of meeting were touted for months but when the Luthori Foreign Minister's plane landed in Dorvik, it was official. Speculation still remains about the contents of the meeting however both the Dorvish Foreign Ministry and Luthorian Foreign Ministry stated that the meeting was "...productive and the Artanian Union and soon to be Northern Council allies are looking forward to a mutually prosperous relation in Artania, at home and abroad." The State Chancellor was spotted with new State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Karlheinz Hans von Färber who was also subsequently appointed to act as the Plenipotentiary-General to the Northern Council and is tasked with re-building the growing and powerful alliance. The Northern Council is key to Dorvish foreign policy, it includes Hutori, Luthori, Dorvik, Kazulia and rumors that Indrala may sign onto the pact leave a lot of potential enemies shaking in their boots.

The appointment of Inspector-General and Chief of Staff of the Dorvish Armed Forces Generaloberst Reinhard Regismund von Rohr-Mauss was widely seen as a means to consolidate control over the military in the event of an outbreak of hostilities. The Inspector-General is a widely recognized man within the military and is considered to be a popular leader within the Dorvish Armed Forces, he continues to work to build the Dorvish Armed Forces and restore some of their lackluster performances of their yearly war games that have been conducted. The last one, held in August 4336 was off the coast of Westmark where the Dorvish Armed Forces sank a battlegroup of aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates and corvettes. The Inspector of the Dorvish Navy Generaladmiral Kersten Donhauser was pleased and the focus of anti-ship weapons have improved and the Dorvish Navy's focus on anti-ship, notably anti-aircraft carrier tactics had improved. It is rumored that the feared Dorvish U-boat force was out in full effect and were able to sink several other OPFOR ships, including landing a disastrous hit on a mock aircraft carrier.

The appointment of the powerful banking and financial elite Constantin von Desidier was widely seen as a strong move for the Dorvish economy, the Haldor Stock Exchange (HSE) announced a large uptick in stocks following the announcement that a von Desidier was going to be responsible for industry and trade. Stocks were already surging when Karlis Maximilain von Desidier was appointed as the new Director-General of the Foreign Economic Council, one of the several sovereign wealth funds of the Dorvish Republic. Without much pomp and ceremony the Foreign Economic Council Director-General and President of the State Bank Maximilian von Weinsedorf announced that a portion of their respectively controlled sovereign wealth funds would have a portion of their wealth converted over to the Artanian Mark (ART/ARM) giving the Artanian Central Bank a much needed boost in capital. The Artanian Mark has held stable in the past several months at 1 Lodamese Dollar to .82 Artanian Mark the influx of a large portion of the Dorvish SWF's are undoubtedly going to raise it.

The Minister of the Interior held a small press conference but otherwise his office stated that the Interior Ministry was at continuing business as usual, including their recent prosecution of various cults around Dorvik. The Ministry of the Interior reported roughly 150,000 arrests since March 4334 when the crackdown on cults began; of those 150,000 arrests about 7,500 of them resulted in serious charges and another 15,000 have resulted in minor charges. However, the Prosecutor-General of Dorvik Hannes Osterhold announced earlier over the summer that the courts were pressing forward with another "...several hundred cases, close one-thousand including leadership in some cults."

Dorvish Republic declares war on Malivia
June, 4337

Haldor, Kordusia - A build-up of tensions, included failed peace talks and excessive violation of a fellow Artanian nations sovereignty, the Dorvish Republic has formally declared war on the Free State of Malivia. The Dorvish Embassy in the Malivian capital of Hitam, Bhulkhandra Constituency notified the Government of the Free State of Malivia to the state of war, the Dorvish Embassy in Malivia will remain open as a means of communication and exchange of any prisoners or provide assistance to the very few Dorvish citizens left in Malivia. Shortly before the outbreak of the war the Dorvish State Secretary of Foreign Affairs Karlheinz Hans von Färber and the Dorvish Foreign Minister announced a full re-call of Dorvish citizens underneath the auspices of an outbreak of hostilities between Darnussia/Narikaton and Malivia, the order was in fact a reparation of Dorvish citizens prior to the declaration of war.

Information regarding the military actions of Dorvik are considered a state secret, anyone found leaking sensitive information regarding Dorvish military actions is subject to arrest and charges of treason. The Minister of Defense and Inspector-General of the Armed Forces of Dorvik Generaloberst Reinhard Regismund von Rohr-Mauss stated that the Dorvish shipped a last minute arms package to the Darnussian and Narikaton military prior to the outbreak of hostilities, mostly consisting of small arms, munitions and anti-vehicle weapons. Gath Defense Collective released a report shortly before the outbreak of hostilities that the Darnussia and Narikaton military was incredibly weak and crippled through lack of management, not even the intervention of the Dorvish Supreme General Staff could've saved them. Gath Defense Collective announced that with the moderate power Malivian Armed Forces, they would likely be able to defeat the Darnussian and Narikaton military in a matter of months without foreign invention.

The start of combat operations against Malivia will likely begin in concert with Luthori, who likewise declared war on Malivia. It is the first such cooperation between Dorvik and Luthori.

The House of Traisheim and Jäger-Wu, Take Politics By Storm

The noble house, Traisheim, has emerged as a political force in Dorvik once again. The noble house was last seen in the early 4200s with brothers Valtin and Kai von Traisheim taking up prominent roles in the Dorvish government, with Valtin elected President of Dorvik for two years. The formation of the New Era political party was an idea pushed by Elisa von Traisheim, the Great Great Granddaughter, and Niece of the brothers, the political party aims to create a socially liberal state in which 'all views that do not create unrest and hate are tolerated. Where your background does not matter'.

Image Image
Elena von Triasheim on the left, Otto Jäger-Wu on the right

Elisa was joined by the Traisheim cadet branch, Jäger-Wu, who descend from a branch of the Wu Family in Indrala that moved over to Dorvik in the late 4000s, they first emerged as a political family in 4138 when Konstantin Wu was elected leader of the Radical Party, eventually becoming State Chancellor for a short period. Otto Jäger-Wu was elected the deputy leader of the new party, with Elena serving as leader. The Jäger-Wu's moved away from politics moving into the transport and shipping business, Otto has given considerable funding to the new political party, and has used his administrative background to formulate a new party constitution, and create a professional structure.

The pair are more economically right-wing than their predecessors, with party shifting towards a more mix-market economy, with the private sector supplying certain needs through government contracts. The party has shifted to an outlook of streamlining government departments, and making cut backs, even suggesting that the number of MSCs should be cut. The pair continue to be supportive of the Dorvish war effort in Malivia-Narikaton and Darnussia conflict, which has consumed most of the State Councils workload, with policy making slowing.

Thine Kingdom Come... // DNS

Above: An artist's impression of the renovated new HQ for CotS and their new political arm.

Oppressed to their furthest extent, the deeply religious community of the south - the hidden Sudish Children of Indra - have came out of their hiding. Once a dominant force in politics, the re-emergence in pan-Dundorfism has muddled the dialect and the culture of the region. The re-assertion of Lormans under the re-emergent nobility has also made the south seemingly turn against the spiritual minority it once was ran by. But that will be the case no longer, as the angered republican "Children of the Revolution" - as they are known - have sought political power after the institution of the monarchy. To them, it is the ultimate form of blasphemy for a King to claim Dorvik. There is no King but God to them.

While the leaders of the last major religious party in Dorvik, the Bright Alliance, have faded into the woodwork, a duo of nonidentical twin siblings have emerged as the new leaders of the Meritocratic Republican movement, and the new Union for a Meritocratic Republic (UMR). Henri and Karine Dieschbourg were born in Zitadelle, Largonia but fled the country 6 years ago to avoid religious persecution while they were both 27. Now they are 33, and have returned to the motherland in order to bring Dorvik back to the path of meritocracy that they believe was staked out by Indra. Karine Dieschbourg is an author, and is known to be writing a book on Indra's teachings. Henri is a lay-preacher, who has routed out corruption in CotS.

Unlike the Bright Alliance, the Dieschbourgs' UMR is unabashedly the political arm of CotS - a purported cult that has been cracked down on by the authorities. While the UMR eventually seeks to abolish and exile all nobility, and change the economy into one of radical meritocracy, at the moment the new movement is working on the small scale that their few local councillors can provide. Spending money to fix up CotS churches, statues and investing into the local community. Karine Dieschbourg is notable for having been caught-up in a scandal regarding her close relations with now interned members of CotS leadership. However, she serves a popular public face who can unite the people as her brother organises the party on the micro-level.

New Era Scores big win in Presidential and State Council Elections

Election Night

The newly rebranded New Era has won big in the most recently elections that was caused by the collapse of the governing coalition, of which it was a part of. Leader of the party, Elisa von Traisheim was elected President of Dorvik in the second round winning over 60% of the vote. Meanwhile in the State Council the party has gained one hundred seats, the highest tally in its history, putting Otto Jäger-Wu in prime position to become State Chancellor.

The State Council now has two-thirds of members who are pro-Monarchy, giving hope to the idea that the monarchy in Dorvik will be restored, much like what has happened in Indrala. Jäger-Wu has confirmed that if he can negotiate a Government agreement, that he will demand a referendum on the monarchy is in the coalition or support agreement.

Following the Referendum

Otto Jäger-Wu has successfully helped pass a referendum on the return on the Dorvish monarchy, he claimed on the night of the vote that Dorvik had ushered in a new era and a return to the good old days of Dorvik. He thanked other parties, campaigners and the grass roots movement for all their efforts in this campaign. He said the landslide nature of the referendum had well and truly settled the issue for good.

Täglicher Telegramm: DLVP Re-emerge Under New Leadership, but Same Principles

Image
Dorvische Landsvolkpartei chairwoman Krista Edith Ilse von Loë.

Haldor - 20 April 4339

Earlier this week, the Dorvische Landsvolkpartei (Dorvish Smallholder's Party) found itself elected to the Staatsrat for the first time in nearly a century. Under the leadership of Krista Edith Ilse von Loë, 32, the small rural party has gradually grown fed by its rural outreach Erinnere dich an das Volk! (Remember the people!) organization.

Von Loë was a small town florist and a local member of the Koordinierungsausschuss für die ländliche Entwicklung (Coordinating Committee on Rural Development) in Kordusia before being elected as chairwoman of the DLVP. She is the daughter of a farmer and a married mother of two small children.

The organization works alongside non-profits, churches, and local governments to provide housing, aid, and development in neglected rural areas throughout Dorvik. This organization has brought the party to the attention to the nation, especially those in rural areas.

The DLVP plans to continue its local-oriented outreach and in so doing, expand its political influence.
