Oldunez worked with the current Royal Ministers and the Royal Assembly's Deputies to ensure that each Province was well represented
Image
Following her re-election months ago, High Chancellor Oldunez, with the help of the Royal Ministries and the deputies
of the Royal Assembly, has developed a plan to decentralize the Lourennais government and divide the powers and
legislative branches of each of the five royal provinces. According to Oldunez will create their own respective
governments which will pledge loyalty to the Monarch of Lourenne and will not have direct legislative power over the
Royal Assembly. Each province will be responsible for their own affairs and laws. Provinces will not have supreme
power over the laws of the Royal Assembly, which will still be enforced nationally. Each of the new provincial
government will have their own government's and legislative chambers. Each of the provinces will have their own
"General Assembly" which will all be represented by elected officials every four years. Each provincial government will
be largely responsible for handling budgets and controlling local economies. Lourenne's sovereign wealth fund will act
as support should any province begin to struggle further with the already declined economy. The Royal Minister of
Economic Development, Ismael Xitomate has floated the idea of introducing sovereign wealth funds for each of the
five royal provinces to ensure that a financial backbone if maintained and sustained while the government goes ahead
with decentralization. Private firms in Lourenne, although in a temporary state of losses and stagnation, have supported
this move as the heavily centralized previous government made it difficult to invest in local communities and local
economies. Currently, the Royal Assembly is in the process of looking for and establishing different chambers across
the royal provinces to house the new legislative assemblies. The Administration of the Royal Assembly | Administration
de l'Assemblée Royale (AAR), and independent office that oversees and handles much of the Royal Assembly's permissions
and election info have already pointed out that the move to introduce provincial governments will begin to raise election
turnout in Lourenne especially in minority communities..

The Royal Assembly increased budgets for technology, energy, education, and tourism related costs
Image
Following a drop in the national economy after King Herbert II dissolved the Royal Assembly last November, several
parts of the Lourennais domestic economy have begun to stagnate and lose francs. The private sector in Lourenne
have also taken losses following the massive win of the social democratic faction of the National Royalist Party, which
have pledged to pass more regulatory practices in the nation to ensure growth and progress. This morning, all 675
deputies of the Royal Assembly were present at the government complex to create and vote on the 4773-4774
national budget. Following requests from high chancellor Oldunez and King Herbert II a few months ago, the defense
budget of the United Kingdom will see the most cuts. The Royal Ministry of Defense already prepared for the expected
cuts by closing three of Lourenne's overseas naval bases noting that the military budget could not sustain most of
them any longer. While the military budget is set to lose a lot of its funding, all members of the Royal assembly noted
that funding for the Royal space Command of the Royal Air Force must remain in place and increased, noting that
space exploration was irreplaceable and worth more than any of the Royal Navy's fleets. Oldunez and her
administration also agreed upon this measure. Royal Ministries that will see an increase in their spending are the
Ministries of: the Future, Sustainability, Innovation, Economic Development, Education and Culture, and Domestic
Affairs. Following the restructuring of the Royal Provinces, most of the new provincial governments will be responsible
for their own economies, yet they will still rely on the Royal Assembly for increased funding in the currently lagging
areas of the national economy. Members of the Royal Assembly were able to avert a major financial crisis with the
passage of the budget, but also with the creation of the new provincial governments. With the private firm eager to
re-invest in the provincial governments, experts believe the crisis in the nation could have been much worse.

The Royal Assembly approved the locations and buildings for the new General Assemblies of the Royal Provices
Image
This morning, history was made in Lourenne as High Chancellor Oldunez put into effect the Royal Province Reorganization
Act of 4773, which gives the Lourennais royal provinces their own governance, legislative assemblies, budgets, and
direct influence over laws within the provinces. Oldunez proposed the federalist system for the nation and sought to
immediately impose it following her election where she claimed that the “extreme unitarist system was not doing
Lourenne any wonders”. Valois, Meridia, Thiers, Montpelier, and Amoudry have been chosen to be the capital cities of
the royal provinces whereas Eroncourt would continue to be nation’s capital. The Royal Assembly approved the use of
five buildings throughout the nation that would serve as the Legislative chambers of the new general assemblies.
Oldunez will be calling for regional elections in each of the five royal princes once the new legislative chambers are
repaired and prepared to hold all members.
Image
According to further details from the Royal Province Reorganization Act of 4773, each province will have a maximum of
100 members and there are no limits to the creation of political parties. Each general assembly will also have an elected
“President of the General Assembly” which will be chosen by members of the general assembly to direct discussions and
break any ties in the general assembly should there be any. Another crucial part of the act is the clear distinction of
economics between the RoyalAssembly and the general assemblies of the Royal Provinces. Each of the provinces will be
responsible for their own economic stance and funding for social programs and other expenditures. The royal provinces
will also have direct funding from the Royal Assembly should any local economies fail. Yet, the Royal Minister of the
Treasury, Fernand Coluna, noted that the possibility of the Royal Provinces falling in an economic collapse is “most
unlikely and will have support from the government should it happen”. Coluna expects local economies to begin to rise
again following the massive government restructuring that has been going on for the last two years.

"Green Hydrogen must exist alongside Renewable Resources", Lourennais Royal Minister of Innovation; Edition January 4773
Image
Continuing to Improve a Profitable Sector
Hydrogène Lourennais and Groupe Larosiere’s industrial subsidiary, Industries Larosière, are partnering
up to make green hydrogen solutions a possibility. Hydrogène Lourennais, Lourenne’s main natural gas
provider, began a long process years ago to begin transforming Lourenne’s hydrogen supplies to be fully
“green” meaning that no emissions would be released into the atmosphere that would be harmful for
the environment. Industries Larosière, who has been part of Lourenne’s industrial and manufacturing
sector for years, has announced their intentions to become more environmentally friendly and support
the nation’s position as the champions of green and renewable energy. Industries Larosière also
announced that they would be investing, financing, and building green hydrogen infrastructure
throughout the country to support Hydrogène Lourennais’ focus on making green hydrogen a daily and
highly efficient possibility. Industries Larosière has so far pledged over LFR 5 million to fund green
hydrogen infrastructure in the nation. Meanwhile, Hydrogène Lourennais plans to begin rolling out green
hydrogen projects along the Kankawaran Bay to facilitate their goals. Hydrogène Lourennais currently
uses electrolysis and other renewable resources to produce green hydrogen along coastal areas where
it then transports it to energy storage facilities throughout the nation in order to power equipment and
some residential areas. Industries Larosière, have pledged most of their 5 million investments to
Hydrogène Lourennais, noting that Hydrogène Lourennais was the future of green hydrogen of Lourenne
and the gateway to innovation in the highly profitable energy market.

Expanding Diplomatic and Economic Agreements
After the elections of January 4773, High Chancellor Sacniete Oldunez promised the people of Lourenne that she was
going to begin transforming the nation’s foreign policy to ensure that the nation does not “fall back in the abyss that
destroyed the nation”. Upon requesting a meeting with the Royal Minister of International Affairs (RMIA), Itzel Dubayain
High Chancellor Oldunez noted that the same foreign policy approach was being used for the centuries and that it
needed a massive change to further adapt along with the nation, which is going through historic changes. Royal Minister
of International Affairs Itzel Dubayain offered the High Chancellor to explain what the current diplomatic outlook is in
the world and provided assistance in regard to what the nation’s position should be. Nothing that the nation was in the
midst of historic political reform, High Chancellor Oldunez developed a diplomatic strategy to ensure that the nation
begins to rely on itself, not its allies to protect Lourennais interests. Dubayain clarified that this did not mean severing
ties with the nation’s historic allies, but instead encourages the nation to seek better ties with nations outside of
Lourenne's older sphere of influence. HC Oldunez noted the economic and political importance it was to continue
cooperating with the nations of Keymon and Kalistan, nations that the United Kingdom has had close relations with in
just the past ten years. Oldunez also added that an important shift in militaristic interventionism needed to change.
Noting that the United Kingdom has involved in too many conflicts recently and needs to see and understand other
means of action. This move appears to instate the use of diplomatic action before militaristic action is taken first.
Finally, the High Chancellor as well as the Royal Minister of International Affairs, agreed that the nation must take steps
to begin deeper trade ties and connection with nations beyond Lourenne’s sphere of influence, realizing that trade
connections with Majatran and Artanian nations are essential to remove the United Kingdom from its aggressive, prior
foreign policy.

Changing the dynamic of the Royal Armed Forces
The Royal Minister of Defense, following the government dissolution of 4773, now Robert Volante, has approached the
Lourennais military with extreme caution and tact following the budget of 4773 which cut the military budget
substantially. The High Chancellor stated that the budget cuts to the military will be temporary while the country
moves in another direction politically and diplomatically, this ahs given Volante a massive chance to focus on the
doctrine of the military while the nation is in political repair. Volante announced that the military will no longer be
focusing on interventionism like it did before and instantly deploy troops to an area of conflict, rather the Royal Armed
Forces will use reconnaissance and swift action when confronted with a conflict. Swift action according to Volante, is
not to immediately deploy troops quickly, rather make correct decisions about deployment or militaristic action in
crucial moments. This of course would be followed by all branches of the Royal Armed Forces individually as well. In
case of conflicts, both military intelligence and armed troops will take swift action to quickly defeat enemies and aid
casualties in the quickest time possible. Volante noted that speed during conflict, not before the conflict will guide the
nation into a position where instantaneous intervention will cease to exist and tactful, intelligent planning must be
done before interfering in any conflict. Volante is also set to expand health requirements and benefits to those active in
the Royal Armed Forces. This would include expanding the benefits in the Royal Armed Force’s medical program to
include therapy, mental health help, and nutritional support.

The first ever elections of the Royal Provinces saw a massive turnout of minority populations in eastern Lourenne
Image
Since the creation of the General Assemblies of the Royal Provinces, citizens and residents in Lourenne have been eager
to finally elect local government officials to better represent them since the demise of the previous session of the Royal
Assembly. Elections were held yesterday and the nation saw a massive increase n turnout especially in minority communities.
However, prior to the elections, several political parties began to take shape within the provinces. Throughout the provinces
people saw the rise of the Socialist Party. Members that were part of the Socialist Party were largely affiliated with the
Social Democratic faction of the National Royalist Party. A conservative party also emerged from the remains of the former
National Royalist Party which was naturally moderate party that often was left and right. More notably, in Louives and
Lucande, two new parties were created to represent the minorities of Lourenne. These parties are the Orinco Liberation
Party and the Orun-Dalehi Coalition. Both of these parties are mainly represented by Orinco, Orun, and the Dalehi people
of eastern Lourenne but also have Canrillaise representatives, this is also true about the Socialist and Conservative parties
who are Canrillaise majority parties.

At around 11 p.m. at night, election results were being finalized after many local polls were closed at 8 p.m. In Outannais
only the Conservative and Socialist parties won seats at the provincial level. The Socislait Party, still using the momentum
to boost turnout, won 65 seats of the 100 up for election. The Conservatives took 35. In Carolleux and Joviant, the Socialist
party also won majorities, and historically, both the Orinco Liberation Party and the Orun-Dalehi Coalition won seats in both
provinces for the first time in history. Similarly in Louives and Lucande, the Orinco Liberation Party and the Orun-Dalehi
Coalition won big. The Orinco Liberation Party in Louives won a majority of 52 votes, while in Lucande the Orun-Dalehi
Coalition won a comfortable majority of 61 seats. High Chancellor Oldunez, who campaigned and endorsed many of the
candidates for the Orinco Liberation Party and the Socialist Party, said that last night was a historic win for Lourenne and
for the minorities in Lourenne who had not been properly represented by the old government system in place. Official
legislative hearings and budget meetings are set to begin in the Royal Provinces in three weeks, once every new elected
deputy is accommodated with new offices and living quarters in each of the respective cities where the General Assembly
chambers are located.

Ship and port building has been one of Lourenne's most developed and advanced sectors

Expanding services to Artania
CEO of Industries Capet-Fouquet, Karl Mathieu, praised the efforts of his company's move to expand the company's
services to Endralon, nothing that an expansion to Endralon could mean services to the greater Artanian region. Mathieu
said that the Endralonese government contacted members of Capet-Fouquet's international divisions team over a project
that the Endralonese government needed to be completed, but did not have the experience to do so. According to
Endralonian press, Industries Capet-Foquet will aid Endralon in bulding the "Vámos János Republican Shipbuilding Centre
in Hattyútó, in the oldest port in the history of Endralon
". As well as help build the "Endralonian Shipbuilder Hall in
Halkikötő what mostly will manufacturing boats and pedalos for tourists" and more notably "Central Port Industrial Centre
in Határok, in the centre of the Endralonian Shipbuilding Industry."
. Industries Capet-Fouquet which has built all of
Lourenne's major ports and ports in several other nations, will be sending its main team of engineers and port specialists to
help design these new ports in a way that can facilitate the access to Endralonese ports. Karl Mathieu noted that the
Endralonese government did provide substantial funds for the completion of the projects and that the company itself also
had a hefty budget to provide what was needed. Mathieu also realized that this project was crucially important for
expanding the company's services to Artania where other nations could need the company as well.

The Royal Provinces, with the support of the Royal Assembly, made economic and cultural development an easier possibility
Image
This afternoon the Royal assembly and each of the General Assemblies of the Royal Provinces passed legislation that
provides over 200 billion Lourennais francs towards the development of local economies, local cultural and arts, and
the Royal Provinces themselves. According to the details of the bill, each royal province will receive a set of grants
and loans rounding to 40 billion franc per province to help develop local economies in large cities, suburbs, and rural
towns away from massive metropolitan areas. The bill known as the Local Development Act, or LDA Proposal, will
focus on helping local start ups and local shops stabilize and maintain a good economic standing to boost the economy
of its community, its city. and its province in the long run. Another crucial aspect of the bill is that it will provide
funding for cultural institutions such as theater schools, art schools, museums, and historical tourist locations
throughout the provinces. In the royal province of Louives, the General Assembly of Louives has already proposed to
grant the Orinco Preservation Society, a non-profit organization that aims to enhance Orinco culture, history, and art
in Lourenne, with millions of dollars to facilitate their efforts of preserving and embracing Orinco culture throughout
the Royal Provinces. In Carolleux, the General Assembly of that royal province has decided that funding will go to the
development and tourism of the Beaumont-sur-Mer area (above photo), which serves as one of Lourenne's most visited
areas because of its beaches, excellent hotels, casinos, and party areas. Similarly, Carolleux has also assured that
funding will also go to cultural aspects of the Carolleux economy like art and most importantly, theater. Using the
funding set up by the bill, Joviant, Lucande, and Outannais have all agreed to set up an inter-province development
fund, to last for 15 years instead of directly injecting money into the economy. Although the move by these states
stores the money rather than immediately spend it, deputies of the General Assembly of Outannais did notify its
residents that the fund by the three states will only go to funding local economies and financial institutions to ensure
that local communities have the necessary funding and loan options to continue to expanding their business and startups.

Reassuring Future Naval Dominance
Today, the Royal Ministry of Defense announced that the Lourennais Sixth Response Fleet, which has been in construction
since 4766, was finally completed at Orleans Naval Station Base in Parmentier. The Royal Minister of Defense, Robert
Volante said that all of the ships that were planned to be part of the Sixth Response Fleet were finished and were tested
in one group off the coast of Parmentier to ensure that all systems were working correctly. The Royal Sixth Fleet includes
the new state of the art Valois-Class Aircraft Carrier, which is set to replace the Queen Isabelle Class Carrier created
several years ago. According to Volante, the new Valois-Class carrier is like nothing the United Kingdom has ever had
before, noting that all communications systems inside of the carrier were state-of-the-art and that the inner engine and
propeller workings of the carrier were also "top-notch". The Sixth Response Fleet, brings in a total of 24 new ships to the
Royal Navy's total numbers. However, Volante noted that the Sixth Fleet will most likely replace the current flagship fleet
because of the First Fleet's "antiquity". The Sixth Fleet, in the future, will soon become the Fifth Fleet, once the first
fleet is scrapped and decommissioned. Question arose over the status of the Sixth Fleet and their base of operation.
Volante noted that the Sixth Fleet will most likely be set up in Keymon once the first fleet is scrapped and once the
Second Fleet is set up in Kalistan.

Finally Reaching Space
This morning, the Aeris-1X rocket, which was being built by the Lourennais Royal Space Agency (LRSA) and by Systemes
Aeronol, a Lourennais private aerospace company, was successfully launched into space and into Terra's lower orbit.
The rocket, which has capabilities of carrying over 22,000 tonnes of equipment in to space, was launched early in the
morning. On board, it carried the Earois-10 communications satellite belonging to the Royal Ministry of Defense. The
satellites were made to aid Lourennais communications domestically, but most importantly internationally. The most
important part of the launch was the crew of three Lourennais astronauts who are set to begin a six month orbit around
Terra on the reusable crew capsule module at the tip of the rocket. The crew, which is historically Lourenne's first crew
in space, will be testing several equipment on board the capsule in an effort to continue expanding the LRSA's space
capabilities. The LRSA, during the launch, announced that their next project was to launch several observational
devices into space to observe Terra's immediate solar system. Another project the LRSA looked forward to was to
cooperate with other international space agencies to begin work on several outer-space projects such as the project
that Dolgaria and Istalia have begun. The LRSA has celebrated for hours following the launch. Members realized that
this launch will go down in Lourennais History.

blends. The newly named representative of PurVide's new tea branch, Berenice Malentrois, said that "the opportunity
to work with Vascania and Purvapane is a great opportunity for PurVide bu is also essential for the successful launch of
PurVide Tea.". Melentrois stated that Purvide for the moment will focus on the in-store signature drinks including cold
teas and hot tea lattes.The company will begin to slowly release merchandise for the company including tea strainers
filters, and spoons. In the company's future, Malentrois stated that PurVide will want to individually sell tea blends in
its stores in Lourenne and in international stores as well, making it a huge success for both Purvapane and Purvide.

The Royal Provinces, with the support of the Royal Assembly, are beginning to set up their own economies and are seeing growth
Image
Since the passage of the Local Development Act (LDA) of 4775 just months ago, the Royal Provinces have already set
their budgets for this year and are already seeing massive amounts of growth within local economies. In the entire
nation, unemployment rate has steadily dropped from 3.7% in 4770 to 2.5 just last month. According to
economists, the growth seen in the Royal Provinces just within the last few months is "record-breaking". Since the
economic slump of 4772, the Lourennais economy took a hit in several of its sectors, mainly impacting local economies.
However, the economic prospect for the next decade has changed. Barely managing to rescue the national economy
the Royal Assembly is just months away from stabilizing and overcoming the 200 billion Lourennais Franc deficit.
However, the Royal Provinces are seeing a different story. The Royal Provinces are seeing a massive increase in jobs
and incomes. Residents of Lourenne are starting to see a boom of business and investments from the nation's private
financial institutions.
Image
The LDA set up and gave the Royal Provinces large amounts of money to restart their economies. Two states, Carolleux
and Louives, have invested this money into several cultural and entertainment institutions as well as the strongest
sectors of their provinces. Carolleux's General Assembly invested in the nation's tourism, entertainment, and technology
sectors with their 20 billion franc fund. The technology sector investment was "crucial to restart the province's main
sector", said a member of Orinco Liberation Party in Carolleux. Several of the nation's tech startups are set up in
Carolleux and usually thrive in the province. Carolleux, specifically the city Valois, is seen as the technological haven of
the East, and will continue to be once funds of the LDA are distributed and invested in more startups. With the added
funds, economists predict that technology will overtake Carolleux's main economy along with tourism that has taken
over Valois and the Beaumont region.
Image
In Louives, similar to Carolleux, tourist attractions and and the entertainment sector were going to see massive funds
from the LDA. Orinco historical locations and monuments received the most funding from the General Assembly of Louives
which has turned these areas into massive tourist hotspots. Luckily, these locations are located near the city of Thiers
the province's largest city and Lourenne's main agricultural hub. According to the details of Louives' budget for the year,
funding is going to be put into establishing Louives as Lourenne's main agricultural and green energy hub. Already, Thiers
is considered a "green city" according to the Lourennais Authority of Renewable Energy along with Valois, Meridia,
Iztapalata, and Delaune. Members of the General Assembly of Louives want to expand the use of Renewable resources in
conjunction with improving the agricultural sector of Louives. Members also noted that Louives will take advantage of
Lourenne's role as the "Champion of Green Energy" and use the nation's knowledge and professional experience on green
energy to advance the province's goal.
Image
Luçande, Outannais, and Jôviant all decided to create a development fund for the joint development of all the provinces.
Specifically, the province of Outannais is set to focus on developing the province's education system and it's manufacturing
base, taking note that most of Lourenne's heavy industry and innovation practices take place in Outannais. Jôviant, the
location of the nation's capital, will be focusing on the restoration and preservation of historic monuments and sites
specifically, Orun and Dalehi sites located in the southwest corner of the province. Actions taken to preserve these historic
locations will be similar to those taken by Carolleux and Louives. The most important factor of Jôviant's development is the
development of the financial institutions in the province. Mainly located in Eroncourt, Lourenne's mainly financial institutions
and local banks received a big hit from the sudden economic drop. The development fund in Jôviant will be to transform
Jôviant into the nation's financial hub by promoting jobs in the financial sector and by supporting local financial firms.
Finally, Luçande which was the last impacted province of the economic downturn, will be investing its funds in improving
the nation's retail and service sectors, like all the other provinces, also becoming the hub of the aforementioned sectors.
Several private retail institutions, such as Manger Lourenne!, have already begun a process to nice their regional locations
to Montpelier to begin the process of bettering the retail and service sectors.
Image
High Chancellor Oldunez enjoyed the news coming out of the Provinces over the use of funding. Oldunez realized that her
plan to separate the royal provinces and giving them authority over their own land was crucial in improving the nation's
economy but it also gives the Royal Assembly space to breathe and iron out the final details that are set to launch the
nation into a new position it hasn't been in before.

Making more Green Cities
Following a seemingly positive report on the budgets of the Royal Provinces yesterday, TLG Écologie
Lourenne's first and just successful, renewable energy company announced that their Green City
Project was being restarted finding a 100 year to since the last Green City Project. According to the
company, the Green City Project was created to begin making Lourenne 100% reliant on green energy
and renewable resources. The company had managed to make over four Lourennais cities completely
reliant on green energy for immediate power sources, however the company is looking to create
several new Green Cities in the Province of Louives. According to a report by TLG Écologie, the Green
City Project 3.0 would focus on making the cities of Porte Orléans, Colcomaté, and Bellevue at least
70% reliant on Green Energy, while more rural towns such as Delandier, Ausy-sur-Vin, and
Yokutla-de-Chalatla and their surrounding areas would be made at least 50% reliant on green energy.
This would be achieved through an increased use of solar energy, wind energy, underground geothermal
projects, green hydrogen, and more importantly, ocean current energy. Financial advisors at the
company noted the scale of the project and directed their attention to the Lourennais financial sector
which could easily fund and maintain the financial integrity of the project. TLG Écologie, while being
the oldest green energy firm in Lourenne, does have some necessary funds to provide for most of the
project, however, financial investments from other institutions is necessary to completely pull it off
successfully. Members of the TLG Écologie board of executives realized that this project would
significantly boost Louives's standing as the green energy hub of Lourenne and continue Lourenne's
ambitions of becoming completely reliant on renewable resources.

The Lourennais High Chancellor assured that Keymon would see massive investments from Lourenne following the Civil War
Image
Assisting Keymon in a time of need
After long disastrous years engulfed in bloody conflict, the Keymon Civil War has finally been ended and peace
agreements have been signed by all of its major sides, including Lourenne. Following the end of the Civil War, the
Lourennais Second Response Fleet and the Lourennais Royal Special Forces returned home to the United Kingdom.
The question remains on how Keymon will recover back from the war and become a major economic center in the
west. Members of the Royal Assembly, who realized that the project in Keymon would be massive and call for large
amounts of grants and loans, created three plans to address reconstruction in Keymon. After discussion and long
debate, one specific plan was chosen called the "Alvium Plan", named after a region in Lourenne that saw a similar
reconstruction plan over 500 years ago. The Alvium Plan will focus on opening up Keymonite markets to investments
and innovation, repair the state of the country's banks, provide material and equipment to rebuild the country's
inflicted energy system, and help reshape the new government in power. Most of the project's focus as stated by the
plan will be to transform the nation's energy and technological infrastructure.
Image
The Alvium Project will introduce massive reconstruction efforts on the coasts of Keymon where most of the heavy
fighting commenced. The project will provide construction materials and engineering assistance to help build up
homes, city buildings and medical centers for those severely affected by the conflict. Basic human resources such
as electricity, running water, medical services, and agricultural provisions will be provided during the first year of
the project. Soon after basic needs are met, construction efforts will begin on the nation's energy grid.
Reconstructing Keymon's homes, technology, and energy services will take up most of the estimated time that the
project is expected to last. While construction firms and individuals work to internally repair Keymon, Lourennais
banks and financial experts will be helping open up Keymon to investments from international corporations and
trade. Lourennais Investment firms and banks will be working with the Keymonite economy to ensure that Keymonite
citizens and firms have equal access to the large Lourennais markets. Financial advisers from Lourenne will set up
economic and technical courses for economists in Keymon. These courses will heavily focus on developing Keymon's
financial and technical expertise which will allow the nation to create and fund different projects in the nation.
The final budget in the Alvium Project is expected to reach sums between 120 and 150 billion Lourennian Francs.
Some of the funds being used include the one billion dollars received from Endralon following the joint force deal
that was created during the civil war.
Image
The funds for the Alvium Project will come fromseveral sources including many of Lourenne's top banks,
developmental humanitarian aid organizations, Lourenne's' Sovereign Wealth Fund, and from loans provided by the
Royal Ministry of the Treasury. Most of the funding will be put towards the development of affected communities
and the development of agriculture, technology and energy in the nation. The Alvium Project, now approved by the
Royal Assembly, is underway. Materials, funds, and volunteers are now being gathered in Lourenne for the
commencement of the first phase of the project. The reconstruction in Keymon will open doors to future investment
an increased quality of life, and overall a successful nation.

The Marriage between Herbert and Marie gives hope on the continuation of the House of Orléans-Vasser-DeChambeau
Image
Securing the Future of the Lourennais Royal Family
The bells at the Église de Sainte Hélène rang today in the afternoon. The bells were heard all
throughout Eroncourt giving all of the city's residents a loud reminder of what has just occurred. King
Herbert II, the last remaining royal of the House of Orléans-Vasser-DeChambeau following the death
of his brother and his mother years ago, married Marie Thérèse d'Auriane, the head of the House of
Auriane, an older Lourennais noble house dating back to 3457. According to members of other news
firms, Herbert and Marie Thérèse met in Porte Orléans two years ago while the king visited his family's
estate in the city. Marie Thérèse d'Auriane, whose family owns several vineyards in Louives near the
town of Auriane, was in Porte Orléans, tending the family's business in the city when she was
summoned by King Herbert. The two were seen together several times in the Royal Estates and in
Beaumont-sur-Mer prior to the announcement of their engagement last October. After years of being
together, the couple finally married in Lourenne's most historic church. The marriage secured the
future of Lourennais royal house which hat existed for almost 600 years. King Herbert II, which has
already proved to be one of Lourenne's most important monarchs, informed the Crown
Representative that Marie Thérèse accepted to change her surname to Orléans-Vasser-DeChambeau
noting that the "Orléans-Vasser" family, which is over 2000 years old, must be persevered.

The Royal Air Force is looking to reassert Lourennais air dominance in the Northern-Eastern Hemisphere
Image
Improving the Royal Air Force
This afternoon the Royal Minister of Defense, Robert Volante, announced that the Royal Ministry of Defense is restarting
and reintroducing the decades old 'Titianaboa Programe, or 'Programe Titianaboa' which improved and upgraded the
Royal Air Force's surveillance and security capabilities. According to Royal Minister Volante, the budget of 4776 saw a
slight increase in the nation's defense budget now that the Royal Province issue appeared to be solved. The budgetary
increase, Volante said, would be used to improve the nation's Royal air Force now that the Royal Navy's main expansion
program was complete. Programe Titianaboa calls for increased aerial patrols in the northern hemisphere by the 3rd
Fighter Wing (3e Escadre de Chasse) which includes 30 Dimont Rafale fighter jets and several surveillance planes to
ensure that security in the northern hemisphere is kept.Another vital part of the Titianaboa program is the expansion
and upgrade of the Royal Air Force's radar and communication systems. Another part of Programe Titianaboa, according
to the RMD, is the technological improvement aspect. According to Royal Minister Volante, the Royal Ministry of Defense
is seeking help from Manon-Maison Communications, Lourenne's biggest and most successful communications company.
In the past, Manon-Maison has been contracted by the Royal Ministry of Defense to help provide new technologies before.
For Programe Titianaboa, Manon-Maison Communications will be tasked with improving the radar and communications
systems in the Dimont Fighter Planes of the 3rd Fighter wing while also working on enhancing the Royal Air Force's radars
throughout the United Kingdom. The radar and communication improvement through several new operating systems
and connection enhancements will boost the Royal air Force's security and surveillance missions. Royal Minister Volante
stated that Program Titianaboa will make the Lourennais Royal Armed Forces the major aerial fighting force in the near
east once the program reaches its maximum potential in what the RMD predicts will be in 2 to 3 years.

The Royal Assembly reported significant growth in three sectors in each of the Royal Provinces
Image
Ever since the Royal Province Reorganization act of 4773, the Royal Provinces have acted independently when it comes
to internal politics and to the economics of each of their regions. Just five years following a small collapse in the
Lourennais markets, the Royal Provinces have shown record-breaking growth and have boosted the Lourennais economy
back to its original position before its unexpected fall. According to the Royal Ministry of Economic Development, green
energy, technology, and tourism are the guiding forces behind the sudden spike in growth. In 4774, the Local Development
Act (LDA)was passed in each of the five royal provinces including the Royal Economy which encouraged each of the
provinces to pursue their own economic goals in spite of the Royal Assembly controlling the national budget. After the
LDA was passed, each of the Royal Provinces began injecting money into local communities, economies, and into aspects
of the greater Lourennais economy. Since the act passed and states began their own economic ways, a major spike in
technology was seen in the states of Carolleux and Joviant. Valois, which is seen as the technology hub of the entire
eastern hemisphere, saw a steady re-appearance of tech start up companies. In Joviant, where several of the nation's
financial institution are located saw the transformation of the region's internet quality. Companies and banks are
beginning to switch to 5G networks similar to how Valois did several years ago. 5G networks, according to the Royal
Ministry of Innovation, is set to take away the old 4G networks in 10 to 15 years, should the Royal Provinces continue on
their current path. Green energy efforts have also increased in the Royal Province of Louives, where TLG Ecologie, one
of Lourenne's largest companies, announced that they would restart their green city project. The Green city Project is
set to convert Louives' entire energy sector making the entire state at least 80% reliant on renewable resources. Similar
efforts are being seen in Outannais where Green Hydrogen is taking the markets there by surprise. Most importantly,
tourism has given the Royal Provinces a sense of culture and great representation. Tourism has led the economy in
Carolleux, especially in the Beaumont region. Casino's, historical location and monuments, and film have dominated the
Beaumont region and the Valois Metro Area. The Valois Film Festival held every summer as well as the nearby accessibility
of beaches and entertainment in Beaumont-sur-Mer is significantly boosting the Carolleux economy. Members of the
General Assembly of Carolleux noted that the budget for Carolleux will focus on entertainment and tourism to get the
most out of the beautiful area and prestigious events held in Valois. The Royal Ministry of Economic Development believes
that if the current economic prospects of the five Royal Provinces continues to grow, the Lourennais economy will reach
new heights that it has not reached before.

The Lourennais Renewable Energy Commission was previously headquartered in Valois; Edition July 4776
Image
Providing Stability to a Large Project
HAving been under construction for almost three years, today the Lourennais Renewable Energy
Commission announced the completion of their new headquarters in the city of Bellevue in the Royal
Province of Louives. The Lourennais Renewable Energy Commission , who controls and oversees all
green energy projects in Lourenne, announced their intentions to create a new faculty office shortly
after the Local Development Act was passed in the General Assembly of Loiuves. The office, fully
powered by renewable energy, and backed by green hydrogen, now controls, measures, and oversees
all of the nation's green energy projects. From the office, the LREC can continue overseeing many of
the projects that are currently going on in the nation and can hold massive meetings to address future
projects. The new facility able to hold over 700 company employees is now the spearhead that is
driving the Royal Province of Louives into a renewable energy state. Following the Royal Province
Reorganization Act, Louives was chosen to become the Green Energy hub of Lourenne, which mainly
means that the Louives economy will be mainly focused on green energy-- it's development, and
expansion. The completion of the LREC's new facilities comes at the perfect time as TLG Ecologie is
in the middle of its "Green City Project" which looks to transform many of Louives's cities into
"Renewable reliant" cities, including Bellevue, the site of the LREC facility. Members of the LREC states
that the TLG Ecologie project is massive however, the project's budget and spending is being handled
with care to ensure that the hundreds of wind turbines, solar panels, ocean current generators, and
geothermal projects are completed on time.

Keeping the Streak Alive
This past weekend, the prestigious Valois Film Festival took place at the Crown Theater in Valois' Golden Coast district.
The Film Festival again drew in thousands of famous worldwide actors and actresses, movie critics, and national
newspapers to see which of the year's films and production teams will be taking home the famous Film Festival awards.
The Film Festival this year saw an increase of actors and tourists as heavy infrastructure and landmark renewal projects
have been improving the scenery in Valois and its surrounding area. This year, several films were on the ticket to win
Picture of the Year, including one from Lourenne, however that prize went to Endralonian film Homokváros, by evFilm
from Jakania. The film received a magnitude of praise at the festival and surprisingly the award for 'Best Production
Team' went to evFilm, who were behind the film Homokváros. The award for 'Best Actor' went to the Lourennais Native
Danni Devoit and his role in 'Attacking Men at Night' which follows the story of the Dwarf "Mantes Gobbotan" (Devoit)
and his mission to seek revenge on the men who stole his alcohol-infused pork meat, which killed off the rest of his
people. However, Mantes has an epiphany about his actions and decides not to avenge his people. It is a tale of
sadness, self-perseverance, and struggle. It was nominated for Best Picture but it did not make the cut. The Valois
Film Festival, after a four days, finally ended and gave an insight to the successful production happening in Lourenne
but also abroad in other successful, cinematic nations.

The LREC hopes to aid Telamon's energy sector similarly to how Lourenne aided Dolgava
Image
Expanding Services to Macon
The Lourennais Renewable Energy Commission (LREC) released a report on the current stance of previous renewable
energy projects that Lourennais public and private firms have engaged in worldwide. The report labeled all of the
projects that the Lourennais sector has engaged in and how they are working for the nations that have engaged with
Lourenne. The report displayed successful results from Dolgava, Kafuristan, Kazulia, Keymon, Rildanor, Kanjor, and
Kalistan. the report showed that carbon footprints from these countries were significantly lower compared to other
years. While some of the nation's in the report still heavily rely on fossil fuels to fuel their economy, the impact of
the use of renewable energy still showed. The report also noted that Solar Power, hydro power, and geothermal
power were the most common forms of renewable energy used. Noting how the Lourennais energy market is in the
process of a massive period of growth, the LREC introduced a new proposal for the organization involving a public
and private expansion to Telamon, noting that the nation is preparing to develop its economy and along with it, its
energy sector. According to the LREC's plan, the Telamonese energy sector would begin to grow with the introduction
of hydro power and geothermal power. This plan, supported by Vertonel Energie, Energie Lourennais, and Alliance Vert
is reportedly in a development stage and talks are currently being held with the Telamonese government. The plan will
seek to install hydroelectric plants, ocean current plants, and geothermal energy locations throughout Telamon to begin
expanding its renewable energy sector at a steady pace. Members of the LREC noted that this project would be similar
to Lourenne's cooperation with Dolgava and the development of their green energy sector.

Joviant's main sector, finance, is looking at historic gains this year following several internal and international reforms
Image
Financial institutions and several banks in the province of Joviant are reporting massive gains this months in customers
and revenues following the decentralization of the royal province as well as the development of the Royal Province
Development Fund established in 4773.Several of Lourenne's financial institutions took losses when the Royal Assembly
was dissolved and the economic outlook of the country seemed grim. However, after several regional and national
reforms as well as other parts of the economy significantly growing, the nation's financial institutions and banks are
seeing growth comparable to the growth seen during the reign of Catherine II, when Lourenne's economy reached a
historic record. Financial institutions are expanding their services throughout the royal provinces, but also worldwide.
Several Lourennais banks are reporting that there was an increase in the opening of offshore accounts and an increase
in loans. Several institutions just within Eroncourt saw a 8% increase in residents opening new bank accounts or signing
off on business and residential loans. An increase of median household income has also been on the rise following the
employment opportunities rapidly rising and because of the rising funds by the General Assembly of Joviant through
the Royal Province Development Fund. The financial sector in Lourenne, with these massive gains, have pledged to
begin reinvesting domestically and, more importantly, internationally to reassert the nations major financial potential.
Specifically, The Big Three, Lourenne's three oldest financial institutions (Banque Moreau-Vandam, Banque Nationale
and Association Franc), have announced their intentions to begin re-investing in regional development on the continent
of Seleya and in Dovani. Currently, The Big Three have begun investments in Keymon, following the civil war, according
to the Alvium Project. Yet,The Big Three have shown their interest in providing grants and loans to underdeveloped
nations in the eastern hemisphere to expand the United Kingdom's good-will to other nations. The Big Three are looking
to work in conjunction with the EDO. The Big Three have stated that this is a future development that will aim to not
only help nations in need of urgent financial assistance, but also to increase cooperation between the world's heavily
developed nations and nations who are in need of help. More details on the Big Three's future commitments will be
released soon.
