Valois, Carolleux
11th May, 4439

In 4432, Matériaux Souverains, The Ministry of Education, and The University of Delaune announced a large project to improve schools, build school, and improve education standards. To this date, Matériaux Souverains have built 5 brand new schools in the Greater Valois Metropolitan Area and have renovated 10. Matériaux Souverains have upgraded schools who have been built before 4400. New schools were built in Valois's low-income neighborhoods in the east and south parts of the city. New schools built by Matériaux Souverains will each have enough space and classrooms to fit 800 students (3,000 for higher level education). Members from the University of Delaune have been constantly working with kids and lecturing them on studying tips, healthy lifestyle standards, and the balance between a social life and school. Matériaux Souverains will be expanding to smaller cities as their project continues. The will be focused on cities in Louives and Outannais.

Parmentier, Outannais
11th May, 4439

The Ministry of Defense successfully announced the creation of 8 Delaune Class frigates at Orleans Naval Station Base in Parmentier. In 4427,Valruzia purchased 5 Delaune-Class Frigates from Lourenne at a total of 3.4 Billion LFR. At that time the Lourennais Navy had a total of 7 Delaune Class frigates originally built. Lourenne sold 5 to Valruzia and was left with 2 frigates. With the payment from Valruzia, the original team of constructors Entreprise Des Défénseurs , Capet-Fouquet Industries, and Manon-Maison Communications set out to construct 8 frigates to add the Lourennais Navy. As of March, The frigates were completed and spent a month in preparations and testing in Valois and at Orleans Naval Station Base. The new ships is the last project that the Armed Forces plan to do in a long time. Not only do these 8 ships satisfy the ministry's needs, but are enough to protect Lourennais trade and waters.

Eroncourt, Joviant
12th May, 4439

Metro stations in Eroncourt have begun to bring more people each day. The Lourennais Train and Transportation Association set out to upgrade many of Lourenne's subway tunnels and metro systems. Stations and subways in Valois have been remodeled and upgraded, however, Valois had already experienced a transportation re-haul before so many of its subways were already in a 'good' condition. The focus of a new and upgraded transportation system was on cities such as Eroncourt, Liroux, and Thiers. The updates included renovated stations and improved trains and buses. Currently, there are as much as 35 train stations in Eroncourt that have been remodeled according to plans set out by the association. Thiers has 15 stations that are currently being remodeled and Liroux has rail systems being created through the mountains in the south. Expected time frame for the renovation and completion of all station and rail systems is expected to be in 4441-4443.

Lourenne to begin working with Dorvisch Investments. Entreprise Des Défenseurs to manufacture new weaponry
Enterprise Des Défenseurs Headquarters (below)

Recently, the Dorvisch and Lourennais government held negotiations in Haldor at the Northern Council Economic Forum where Canrillaise Defense Industries (CDI) struck a deal with the Artanian Defense Corp to supply Canrille with up-to-date weapons for all countries specifically Lourenne. The deal also came with a 250 B LOD investment into the Federation of Canrille also mainly aimed at Lourenne. According to the Ministry of Defense approximately 100 B of the 250B LOD investment will be for Lourenne and will be used to upgrade and create weapons manufacturing as well as open new manufacturing centers in Lourenne. Entreprise Des Défenseurs is expected to benefit from this investment the most. Currently leading weapons sales and vehicle manufacturing in Lourenne, Entreprise Des Défenseurs has announced that this is a "fresh start for cooperation between Dorvik and Lourenne. We hope this is only the beginning for progress and diplomatic advancement between our countries." The Defense firm from Outannais will be opening three new manufacturing centers and an operating base in Outannais with money from the investment. These new centers will almost certainly have job opportunities for people and will boost manufacturing in Outannais (the current military development powerhouse in Lourenne). Manufacturing from (EDD) will range from new weapons for the Infantry Component, New vehicles for the Infantry Component, and new aircraft fighters for the Aerial Component. Production has begun on new weapons and construction on new manufacturing centers has begun as well. Completion of the new manufacturing centers is expected to be in 4441.

Lourennais Economy takes little to no hit over Kalistan Recession
Image
Trade at Le Port D'Artaine in Valois has not taken major hits since Kalistani Recession

Major trading in Lourennais ports have not suffered from the Kalistani recession that has hit their country. Stock markets
located in Eroncourt and Valois have not seen much drops since the Kalistani recession began. Stock markets have dropped
very little compared to the harsh losses from the Kalistani economy. Little to no companies are actually overseas in Kalistan.
Talks to expand trade and economic possibilities to Kalistan from Lourenne were cut short because of the assassination
of Kalistani Premier Al-Khali. Companies had begun to ready themselves to move to Kalistan since peace negotiations were
going swell and to plan. Once a heated war of words was once again on the horizon, the Lourennais stock market seemed to go
downhill but recovered days before the assassination of the Premier. Companies have resorted to opening new facilities in Lourenne
rather than heading to Kalistan. The Ministry of Finance have under Joan de Masson have stated that:
Economic expansion could have occurred between Lourenne and Kalistan if a proper economic treaty was put into place.
Currently, there is nothing Lourenne can do to prevent anymore downfalls to the Kalistani Economy. If an economic treaty was quickly
drafted, Lourennes private sector will be hasty to expand to Kalistan and help create more jobs an opportunities. For now, Kalistan
cannot receive any economic or monetary aid from Lourenne. However, many Lourennais emergency response associations have
traveled to Kalistan to help aiding the homeless people that have resulted from the recession.

The Royal Assembly has not begun working on an economic treaty to begin helping Kalistan recover properly. An overall treaty
of Peace was also expected during the Peace conference in Evaori but ultimately it failed. If somehow Kalistan managed to
create a treaty before leaving the conference, economic aid to Kalistan could already be on its way. For now, companies in
Lourenne will be opening new locations such as many defense companies and construction firms. Although expansion to Kalistan
is not certain at the moment, Eroncourt has not ruled out the possibilities of it happening soon.

Image
Parmentier (above), where the 1st Lourennais Fleet is docked

The Ministry of Defense backed bu the Royal Assembly in Eroncourt have approved plans and actions to intervene in
the Mordusian Civil War by backing the resistant from the Soul and Spirit Party. The King and the Queen have announced
their support for the Lourennais army to intervene but they will have no power in commanding the armed forces whatsoever.
The Royal assembly has decided to intervene to establish political goals within Mordusia as well as setting "concrete relations"
with Mordusia. Most importantly, the Royal Assembly as well as the cabinet decided it was necessary to intervene for the
defense and protection of the millions of Canrillaise minorities in Mordusia. the people of Lourenne have spoken out and
have denounced the cruel rejection and discrimination of Canrillaises in Mordusia for a long time. The Ministry of Defense has
officially labelled intervention in the war as a "fight to protect the Canrillaise". The Ministry of Defense have officially stated that
approximately, Lourennais troops will be involved in the Civil war. The 1st Lourennais Fleet will be departing to the eastern
Mordusian coast in two weeks and will be immediately landing to complete their objectives. The 1st Lourennais Fleet has
been recently upgraded and has new ships that are set to greatly help us.With Permission of the Aldurian government
already given, Loureannais parachuters will begin to enter Mordusia along their southern border with Alduria and proceed
to meet up with the eastern forces. Expected time frame for Lourennais presence in Mordusia is unknown. However,
troops will remain in Mordusia until our objectives are completed and Mordusia politically changed." Lourennais troops in
Valois, Parmentier, and Point Militaire Un are preparing to embark to Mordusia by air and by sea. The Mordusian civil war
is at the brink of escalating further once Lourenne arrives in south seleya.

Lourennais Air and Naval Bases open in South Seleya. Northern Council bases also open

Image
Northern Council Naval Base Treville in Sologne, Kanjor (above), one of two naval nases built

In 4432, the governments of Canrille reached an agreement to begin to build multiple military bases in South Seleya. The announcement came from the Ministry of Defense in 4432, when construction had begun. Construction first began in Kanjor. One naval base was built in Sologne. Named after the city it's located in, the naval base is available to Northern Council nations, the Lourennais navy, and the Kanjorien Navy. Another small naval base was built and opened in Nompiègne. This naval base, however, is only open to the navies from Kanjor, Rildanor, Alduria, and Lourenne. This base will be host to many military training for the Federation. In Rildanor, a medium-sized air base was completed in the outskirts of the city of Fountaine. This base will hold approximately 10 to12,000 Lourennais troops and will be a center for joint training. Air Base Cuomcana will also be used as refueling stations for flights from Canrille Air Lines. Finally, another Air Base was constructed in Charday, Alduria. Air Base Vernaux is the last Northern Council open base in South Seleya. Vernaux Airbase is available to all Northern Council nations. Multiple companies worked hard to conplete the bases. The bases were a large project between the entire Federation of Canrille and its private companies such as Capet-Fouquet Industries and Matériaux Souverains in Lourenne. However, most of the construction was set out by Kanjor and Lourenne whose economies are better than thise from Rildanor amd Kanjor. Joint military training is set to occur in the following months between the Fédération in the Anantonese Ocean in Lourenne and in the new naval bases in Kanjor.

Landry I condemns Kizenia for extending death penalty
AVIENNE-LES-BAINS - While on a golf trip at the Avienne Resort, the King issued a scathing condemnation of the Kizenian government regarding their decision to reintroduce the death penalty for murder and drug crimes and legalizing corporal punishment by the judiciary. His full statement is provided below:
King Landry I
House of DeChambeau


This morning, news broke that the Kizenian government was legalizing capital and corporal punishment. On behalf of Lourenne and all of Canrille, I strongly condemn the High Chancellor and the 295 legislators that supported this ridiculous and cruel form of punishment. Nobody should ever have to lose their life or be physically harmed as punishment, regardless of their crime, especially if they committed a crime that didn't directly harm anyone, such as a drug offense, which is also covered in the new policy. Prisons and penitentiaries are places for rehabilitation of inmates where everyone should feel welcome, not dungeons of abuse where inmates are caned, whipped, and starved. What disheartens me the most is that the Chancellor and President are seeming to laugh off systematically abusing and killing inmates. Nobody should have to lose the gift of life as punishment for a crime, and it's certainly not in the government's power to be taking it away from them. The prison system is not a place for abuse, but rather rehabilitation. I beg the international community to look at these atrocities and push Kizenia to change their policy.

Majority Leader Emily Triplett also condemned the decision, adding that party and diplomatic leadership is "deeply disappointed and appalled".

Lourennais troops arrive in Mordusia. Countryside quickly falling to Lourennais Army

Image
Lourennais troops have parachuted in south Mordusia (above) to quickly reach objectives set by the Ministry of Defense

Over. 20,000 Lourennais troops effectively and successfully landed on the beaches of the Eastern province of Adubura in Mordusia.
Infantry equipment, tanks, and supplies were transported to Mordusia by the Royal Navy and its transport ships. Troops have
landed in Southern Hosamia and in Central Adubura as the Lourennais army plans to create another front in the east.
Troops have set up a command centers in a small coastal town not far from the initial landing stage. Troops have met little
to no resistance in the province of Adubura. The Ministry of Defense, according to battle objectives, expect to face heavy
resistance in the central parts of the country that are more populated. Troops have yet to meet with troops fro the Soul & Spirit
in an effort to bring down resistance in Mordusia.

On the Aldurian-Mordusian border, The 1st Lourennais paratrooper brigade has landed in fields and small mountains in southern
Mordusia. These troops have been trained with similar tactics to those used in Lourenne's defense of new Alduria and Noumonde
in the Dovani War not long ago. Over 10,000 Lourennais troops landed in southern Mordusia in the provinces of Talasor and
Sammodra. The Royal Navy could not get support to these troops through the western coast of the country, however the royal
air force has provided close air support to those who landed in Talasor and in Adubura. The Lourennais army has opened new
fronts in the east and south and they are looking to install incisive and swift tactics when taking over the mordusian countryside.
Lourennais troops are more than ready to face Mordusian resistance as troops begin to push forward deep into Mordusia.

The Ministry of Defense has released a map of the location of taken territory in Mordusia.
    Green = Lourennais territory
    Red= Rebel Soul & Spirit territory
    Blue = Mordusian Government

Valois Environmental Project Complete. Valois becomes a "Green City"

Image
Decade-long efforts to create a environmentally protected city and upgrade the city's energy sources has been a success.

In 4433, TLG Écologie began a large project
to convert Valois into a city dependable on renewable energy sources and clean energy. This plan approved by the Valois
City Committee was expected to last 6 years, however, as the project unfolded more centers for construction and re-modernization
were found throughout the city. The plan was mainly centered to make the city run on solar power, geothermal energy,
hydroelectric power, and wind power. The project was concentrated in 49 of the 65 city districts. Each district has an element
of the project which ranges from garbage disposal, recycling centers and energy production centers. Most importantly, the project
focused on making the city green. To do that, the city officially added more than 15 new protected park areas in the city.
These areas are walking trails, nature centers, or simple, small parks. After a count by the Valois City Committee the new project opened:

    -10 Public Parks
    -5 Walking trails
    ~2 Riverside Trails
    -4 Garbase Disposal Centers
    -6 Recycling Centers
    -300 Rooftop windmills
    -1,245 Solar Panel Buildings
    -3 Hydroelectric Production Plants
    ~2 on Valois River
    -17 Protected Nature Centers

TLG Écologie have stated that each Garbage Disposal Center will generate approximately 400 jobs within the first 5 months in service.
Recycling centers will also approximately yield the same amount of people for work. These centers have been opened in the
city's most polluted neighborhoods and low-income areas. Job openings are now available for those who have been jobless
following the small impact from the Kalistani recession. Parks have been opened for environmental purposes in the city.
One park specifically is the Ardouin Park next to Downtown Valois, next to the Valois River. This park has been recommended to be
a National Park in Lourenne as a result of its popularity and size. Nature Centers are places where children will be able to learn about
the conservation of Terra and learning about nature in the city. These centers are also centers for jobs and will employ at least 40 people.
Windmills (small to Large) are situated on rooftops to open areas in South Valois. These windmills provide enough electricity and energy
for the south side of Valois. Water power plants have been built along the constant current of the Valois river. These plants provide energy
for most of central Valois,including the heavily populated downtown. Solar panels have been given to businesses and apartment complexes
that use up hundreds of LFR each month to electricity costs. The final product of the product is approximately 5,000 new jobs in the city and the preservation of the environment in Valois. TLG Écologie have now begun to create new projects to spread to small, rural towns as well as the capital Eroncourt.

Lourennais involvment in Mordusia continues, Rebels and Lourennais troops encircle enemies.

Image
Lourennais Troops have quickly began to encircle Mordusian troops upon landing in Adubura and Hosamia

Since landing on the beaches of Hosamia and Asubura, Lourennais troops have quickly been taking out Mordusian troops
as they begin to complete their primary objectives in the country. The Ministry of Defense set out objectives to first
take any coastal cities and towns in Adubura and Hosamia, rendezvous with troops from the Soul & Spirit rebellion in
northern Hosamia and Sayoon, and finally to secure southern territory in Sammodra and Talasor. These primary objectives
have been met by the thousands of Lourennais troops already in action in Morusia. Supplies, arms, and equipment continue
to be supplied to troops in Mordusia. Troops fighting in Adubura have faced thousands of resistance troops from Mordusia
and casualties have been reported to be high for both sides. Forces of the Soul & Spirit rebellion responded to the offensive
in Adubura by the forces of Mordusia by pushing from northeastern Talasor to meet up with forces from the Lourennais
landings in southeast Hosmania. False intelligence reports and over-cockiness of those leading the offensive in Adubura
caused the encirclement to succeed without much resistance.Once it became clear that the encirclement could no longer be
avoided as troops from the joint forces of Lourenne and the rebellion began pushing south, the bold decision to push into
Talasor was made, and a majority of the 200,000 troops and tanks pushed against the defenses. The defenses were rudimentary
at best,but still somewhat effective. But not good enough to hold back the forces of the Republic of Mordusia. At 10:08 AM the
following morning, a breakthrough was made. Casualties were similar on both sides, as the Republican forces lacked the
incredible numerical superiority and civilian support they had in Adubura. Casualties are around 19,600 for the joint rebellion
forces and 21,000 for the Republican forces.The forces are continuing to move into Talasor slowly, meeting heavy resistance.
Several civilian militias have been noted in key cities,aligning themselves with or against the rebellion.

At home, the Lourennais economy is on slippery slopes. The market in Valois and Eroncourt seems to be lowering despite the
growth seen in the past five years. Economists expect that involvement in Mordusia must be the last conflict that Lourenne
intervenes in or economic troubles may sweep thee nation. The Ministry of Trade and Industry as well as the Ministry of Finance
have stated that the country will be "going into a period of re-building, economic expansion, and monetary sustainability."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as Lourennais ambassadors have been taking 'hits' in the General Assembly from Istalia
and Vanuku after Lourennais Intervention, however Lourennais Ambassadors have responded appropriately to the Majatran
countries as well as Dorvik and Keymon. Both the Ministry and Defense and thee ministry of Foreign Affairs have stated that
intervention is not on behalf of the Northern Council, something that Istalia and both Vanuku both ignorantly deny to understand.
Yet, intervention in Mordusia "will continue regardless of the words from Istalia and Vanuku", according to the Ministry of Defense.
While the war continues, the Lourennais economy will begin to seek opportunities of expansion to help better the economy and set
spending levels to a lower maximum while the war continues to play out.
