Deputy State Chancellor calls on World Congress to recognize international institutions
July, 4359

Largonia - The Deputy State Chancellor Diethelm Tanais von Schleskau spoke today at the Artanian Council on Foreign Affairs, an annual conference that meets in July in Largonia, regarding the World Congress and the official recognition of several different international institutions as "official". For instance, the Deputy State Chancellor, called on the formation of an international health organization, an international trade organization, the recognition of the International Exchange Commission as the formal international regulator of stock exchanges and mercantile exchanges, the recognition of the International Arms Trade Commission as the de facto international arms trade regulator and commission, the official recognition of the International Development and Stability Bank as the de facto international bank

Dorvik's financial industry recently went through a tremendous boost as the Ministry of Trade and Industry announced that they had joined the International Development and Stability Bank with a $20b LOD buy-in to the organization, making it the largest holder of funds within the IDSB. A spokesman for the State Bank of Dorvik noted that the International Development and Stability Bank was a prime example of the international community coming together to monitor and systematically ensure that no financial crisis would ever undermine countries sovereignty again. Both the Dorvish Stock Exchange and the Wasse Mercantile Exchange experienced huge surges, especially in financial stocks, when the news was announced. The State Bank of Dorvik which approved the buy-in stated that a board will be announced in September, 4359 as the Dorvish representatives to the IDSB.

Minister of Trade and Industry Constantin von Desidier asked that the Dorvish lead a charge in the establishment of an official world trade organization to regulate and fundamentally structure trade and solve trade disputes throughout the world. The Minister of Trade and Industry asked the Deputy State Chancellor and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to pursue this in the World Congress. Officials have reported that the middle age Minister of Trade and Industry conceptualized such an organization and if interest is drummed up enough for it might be picked to lead it.

Dorvish FM hopes for renewed ties with Kanjor and opening of relations with Valruzia
January 4360

Haldor, Kordusia - Domenikus Florian zu Zÿmern und Behm, the Dorvish Foreign Minister, spoke at a press conference today in which he extended further congratulations the Consul Georges Rémi Guichard of the Federal Republic of Kanjor and hoped for further cooperation with the revitalized Kanjorian state. "Despite historical differences and conflicts, the Dorvish Kingdom is open and willing to begin renewed relations with the Federal Republic of Kanjor. We wish to congratulate Consul Guichard once again on his election and we look forward to ensuring that our relationship is a priority for the Dorvish state. We look forward to economic and political cooperation with Kanjor." The Dorvish FM also informed the press that the Dorvish Ambassador to Kanjor had been given authority to begin the process of rebuilding the relations between the two countries and noted that focus on economics and political cooperation was token to rebuilding the relationship between the two states.

In a somewhat radical policy shift the Dorvish FM condemned the recent sanctions that the Valruzian government had laid upon Dorvik and it's Northern Council allies, however, the Dorvish Foreign Ministry reached out to the new Valruzian Foreign Minister and asked what the status would be underneath the new government. The Dorvish government has pivoted towards rebuilding relations with the Valruzian government amid rumors that the two governments began a sit down chat to discuss their differences. When asked to comment on the exact nature of those negotiations, the Dorvish Foreign Minister simply stated: "The Dorvish and Valruzian people need to get past what happened in the past. We need to look forward and begin the process of mending our fragile relationship."

Dorvish Navy conducts first exercises following first aircraft carrier completion
September 4360

Dorvik - Inspector of the Dorvish Navy and Generaladmiral Otto Ernst von Pölzl announced that the Dorvish Navy's South Sea Fleet and the new Kaiser-class aircraft carrier DNS König und Kaiser Ludwig had conducted a series of wargames off of the coast of Westmark. The Dorvish Navy remained relatively tight lipped on why the Kaiser-class aircraft carrier had been delayed until July, 4360 in place of its projected date of April, 4360 however some speculate that it was the implementation of new technology within the aircraft carrier that caused its delay, the project was suspected to also be $500m LOD over budget but the Dorvish Navy nor the Supreme General Staff has commented on it yet. The official statement was that the "...Kaiser-class aircraft carrier was undergoing technological upgrades following its completion." however rumors persist. The wargames that were conducted by the Dorvish including carrier defense as well as striking at land-based targets with aircraft, a navalized version of the Unionfighter as well as reports that the Dorvish had purchased several navalized version of the F-35 program that had been kept alive for decades in research and development.

Generaladmiral Otto Ernst von Pölzl spoke on the northern coast of Westmark to a select group of senior reports and announced that the Dorvish Navy and the Supreme General Staff had been incredibly impressed with the showing of the aircraft carrier and the aging Dorvish King and Kaiser had visited both aboard and had been involved in the planning of the procedures. The Dorvish King and Kaiser is reported to have been heavily involved in the project as the King and Kaiser is a noted naval weapons expert and serves as a reserve Lieutenant in the Dorvish Navy, having refused an honorary promotion to Grand Admiral from the Dorvish Navy itself. A notable part of the wargame was a planned naval invasion that took part on several parts of Northern Westmark, one of the first actual showings of the Dorvish Naval Infantry including the Dorvish naval Stormtroopers.

State Security Main Office undergoes large transformation
December, 4361

Haldor, Kordusia - Chief of the State Security Main Office Sydel von Völknitz-Siezenhaus announced today that the State Security Main Office would undergo a radical transformation and one that is incredibly important to the Dorvish state as a whole. The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice have both agreed to transfer the State Criminal Police, the primary investigative police of the Dorvish state over to the State Security Main Office. Not only will the State Criminal Police be transferred over for the first time the State Security Service will be placed underneath the control of the State Security Main Office. The Ministry of the Interior agreed to transfer the Field Police units underneath their control over to the State Security Main Office, formally transforming them into the Security Police, they will serve a similar function and the Dorvish Police will undertake a much more expanded role in domestic Border Police units as well as general police services. The radical transformation of the State Security Main Office comes at a time when the Dorvish are on the precipices of being a "Great Power" and are incredibly poised to play a leading role in the future of the world order.

Despite electoral dominance, Dorvik may slip into regression
June 4362

Haldor, Kordusia - The All-Dorvish League celebrated an electoral success but the leadership of the ADV was not soon keen on celebration, the lack of a majority of seats in the State Council means that it is likely that the ADV will slip into opposition for the first time in decades. Recently elected Chairman of the ADV Domenikus Florian zu Zÿmern und Behm stated that "The ADV was working hard to find allies during these times but it was very unlikely that the KRA or the DPP will respond favorably to the ADV overtures for a coalition. Unfortunately it appears that Dorvik might slip into a regression." The Chairman citing lacking activity on the part of both parties internationally and even domestically. "We're standing at the forefront of world order and stability, Dorvik has to be capable and ready, quite frankly we're a little worried that the domestic agenda will overtake our role in the world. We've worked to stabilize the international economy, we've defeated an Imperialist enemy in Malivia and we've worked to grow the Dorvish state into what is being called a "Great Power" we're worried that the potential new government will not be up to the challenge that is maintain and growing Dorvik's world view and foreign policy. We've reached out the KRA and the DPP and looked to see if we can build a coalition that is good for all of us. We will see what destiny has in store for the Dorvish people and state."

Dorvish markets downturn after coalition news
August, 4362

Haldor, Kordusia - The Dorvish Stock Exchange (DSE) and the Wasse Mercantile Exchange (WME) both saw a downturn in stocks over the past few months due to the prospects of a different governing coalition, notably in August when the Conservative and Reformist Alliance and the Democratic Progressive Party both unleashed their agenda's on the State Council. Both the current government all of the All-Dorvish League and the Dorvish King and Kaiser called for calm and understanding. It is the first time in several decades that the All-Dorvish League (and previously the Dorvish Workers' Party) will not be apart of the ruling coalition despite being the largest party in the State Council. Fears were only partially dashed when the Conservative and Reformist Alliance supported a measure from a single-seat party in the State Council to collapse the State Bank of Dorvik, temporarily sending Dorvish markets into a free fall and seeing the Dorvish Dolgar plummet down against the LOD. The move drew sharp criticism from the All-Dorvish League as well as the outgoing Minister of Finance and the Minister of Trade and Industry.

The King and Kaiser and the Crown Prince made calls and congratulated the new government on their achievements and gave them words of advice. It is unknown what is to happen to Dorvik after such a stunning turn of events.

New Chancellor offers agenda for change
Newly elected chancellor Zara Hoffmann sets out agenda for government after historic election victory

Image

Leader of the Conservatives and new Chancellor, Zara Hoffmann has offered the country "an agenda for change" after successfully forming a coalition government in light of the 4362 general election results. The election, as expected, resulted in a hung parliament with the All-Dorvish League as the largest party. Despite this, the Conservatives have formed a coalition with the Democratic Progressive Party, what the Chancellor has described as an "anti-hatred, pro-liberty coalition."

In a speech addressing members of the Conservatives (televised), she said:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Change has come! We have done it, we have taken the Conservatives out of opposition after thirty long, bitter years"
Alternative for Dorvik (4277-4305)
Conservative & Reformist Alliance (4305-4378)
People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (4378-)

Surge in "Red Front" activity in Dorvik, international relations questioned
November, 4362

Haldor, Kordusia - A press release today from the State Security Main Office showed an increase in the "Red Front" terrorist organization, a pan-Artanian radical socialist and communist group that was founded prior to the Collapse of the Reich period in northern Artania. A local city councilman was kidnapped and held for ransom while larger threats have been levied against the central government of Dorvik following the June 4362 elections which saw the All-Dorvish League retain the title of the largest party but lose their government position. Former Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Florian von Göthaus stated that the increase was due to the governments soft stance on domestic security and that if the central government failed they would look towards the single protector of Dorvish internal and external harmony, the King and Kaiser. The Red Front, known officially as the "Roter Frontkämpferbund" (Luthorian: Alliance of Red Front-Fighters) is a terrorist organization that aims to establish a pan-Artanian socialist/communist state and has increased outside of Dorvik in several years, it has continued to increase since the June 4362 elections following the announcement of a new government.

The All-Dorvish League has also called on Dorvik to maintain its position in the world and not listen to "isolationist" within the government who would prefer inactivity over international activity, the ADV also called on the government to ensure that they maintain relations with fellow Artanian Union nations. The "Valruzian Question" was tantamount to the diplomatic coup's of the ADV, and continues to push for a cooling of relations but ensuring that the Valruzian and Dorvish governments do not over-extend their cooperation too far to endanger one side or the other.
