MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS STATES HER OPINION ON VERONA/ISTALIA CONFLICT

Minister of Foreign Affairs Pauline Branson, has delivered her statement on the rising conflict in the South Seleyan Sea.

Slavery is a repulsive practice that takes away the freedoms of many people. Slavery should not be acknowledged by anyone and should be outlawed by all nations in Terra. However, the Veronan Government has left this practice legal which has come to our attention. My party and I both agree that actions need to be taken against Verona. Istalia has begun to form a naval barricade, spurring worldwide discussion about this matter. The Tea Party has shown our support for Istalia's actions and we would happily join Istalia in military action. However, that is not in my authority. I have pressed sanctions onto Verona and I have worked with Chris Ferguson, Minister of Trade and Industry, on reworking trade issues and imposing higher tariffs. Chancellor Camden Brady has assembled the Cabinet for discussion and President Rodson and I are working together on this issue concerning the safety of our nation and its allies. Our strongest naval ships the MNS Blackwater and the MNS Murphy are preparing themselves in case conflict arises, and I have withdrawn all ambassadors from Verona. Do not fear your lives, the Mordusian Government and Mordusian Military will ensure your safety.

The Tea Party Returns!


Gordon Mirani has re-founded the Tea Party

Yesterday, a true miracle happened; the Tea Party has been re-founded by Gordon Mirani, a 35-year old farmer from Sammodra, with the aim of establishing a government that puts the Mordusian people first.

People of Mordusia,

Our nation has been run by idiotic leftists who do not understand the average person’s way of life, we have been subject to mass immigration and have had various rights taken away with regulation limiting our economy. I am Gordon Mirani, Leader of the once-thriving Tea Party formerly led by my uncle’s great-great-great-grandfather Daniel Bennington, who will stand up for the Working Class and the average Mordusian and will put this country back on track.

Our nation is suffering mass unemployment with the highest rates being in Sammodra at 9.33% and our economy has gone down the drain with the recent refusal to permit Scholten Coal from establishing coal mines and hiring 50,000 Mordusian workers, yet we allow immigrants to come here to work and send their wages back overseas. Our politicians need to get their heads out of textbooks and get a job in the real world, they’ll probably struggle with basic shopping.

Our nation needs to halt immigration and cut foreign aid spending, using that money to invest in our own country rather then helping others grow. The Tea Party is open to working with corporations and businesses to build up our current industries and invest in new ones. Our extremely high taxes are a burden on the Mordusian population and they prevent people from investing into new business opportunities and the stock market. We already have high unemployment rates, immigrants arriving here with hopes for a good future are let down and join the queue for unemployment benefits, another problem holding us from success.

We are being swamped by Ahmadists, who have a seperate culture and society and seperate themselves from regular Mordusian society. The are prominent in crime and terrorist organisations endangering our nation and it’s society. Radicalisation is occurring on the streets every minute, yet our leaders tell us to stop worrying about it and embrace the good Ahmadists. If we line up a bunch of them we cannot tell who is good and who is bad, they all look the same.

Our values have also deteriorated since the great presidency of Horace Grumsworth, a true Mordusian. He stood up for this country, swore allegiance to our flag, lived by his Hosian values and sang the national anthem on a frequent basis, for he had pride in this nation. Today, marriage commitments are looked over, the government turns it’s cheek when it comes to polygamy and we live in a world where men are women and women are men. What has happened to the nation of decency and morality?

The Tea Party was founded as a third-party optimism at first, then grew into a wide community spread across Mordusia and ignited a flame of hope, something which we will do again. I am prepared to stop cutting corners and leaving the working class families with nothing for I will start Taking Care of Business and fixing the failures made by the leftists in power. To do this, the Tea Party must be elected to represent all levels of Government and we will continue to fight for the people for as long as we can.

Gordon Mirani is a name that carries independence, honesty, assurance and reliability- something that foreigners can never buy. I look forward to working with every single member of Parliament, even those representing the Greens, and allowing this country to prosper.

Gordon Mirani
Leader of the Tea Party

Clara Russo, Prime Minister of Mordusia

A lot of controversy came from his speech with death threats and even a letter from the Prime Minister:

In response to your open letter to the Mordusian press about Labour's record on immigration, we shall crack down on illegal immigration and speed up deportations. We shall also create a Federal Commission on Ahmadi Extremism to investigate the social attitudes of Ahmadi Mordusians and we will ban foreign funding of mosques after the next election. Our primary concern is the safety and national security of Mordusians and for anyone to suggest otherwise is, quite frankly, very insulting. Thank you
- Clara Russo, Prime Minister of Mordusia

The Green Alternative Is Born
August 16, 4364

Green energy entrepreneur Jean Cochet has announced the founding of Green Alternative. Hundreds of delegates from several environmental pressure groups met at a conference about furthering cooperation and soon, the idea of founding a party focused mainly on environmental protection arose. Cochet along with Save Our Globe campaigner Yvette Kendall were elected the first co-leaders of the new party. An Executive Council comprised of 15 members was also chosen and the party will hold its first full Conference in December.


Cochet and Kendall

The party has been hesitant to present its full policy agenda only describing itself as a centrist and ecological party. Co-leader Yvette Kendall said that the party wanted to develop and arrange its policy properly and consult widely with Mordusian citizens. The two co-leaders will be travelling across the country as part of the consultation for the next three months. Kendall said she wanted a "mass party uniting all who loved Mother Terra and wanted to enjoy her fruits in a sustainable and reasonable manner." The tour might be complicated by an offer extended to the party to join a so-called "Purple Coalition" as part of a government deal to end a political stalemate gripping the country. The GA has accepted the offer, viewing it as an oporturnity to gain visibility as a party and implement green policies.

VALRUZIAN PRESS AGENCY FOREIGN EDITION

CoS & GI: SELEYAN COUNTRIES SHOULD PURSUE THE PATH OF FURTHER INTEGRATION
Nowogard, September 4364

Original Article: CoS & GI: SELEYAN COUNTRIES SHOULD PURSUE THE PATH OF FURTHER INTEGRATION


Gloria Iustitia's new headquarters (building in the center) in Nowogard, Valruzia.

NOWOGARD - In what seems to be the first official document issued jointly by human rights and democracy organization Gloria Iustitia, and the Council of Seleya which is aimed at preservation of multicultural characteristics of the Seleyan continent and at the same time monitor the state of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, diplomats from the Council of Seleya and lawyers from Gloria Iustitia say that Seleyan Union should work out the future shape of the Seleyan Union. Gloria Iustitia praised the legacy of the Seleyan Union which in the last couple decades became one of the top three areas on Terra where democracy is respected and citizens of Seleyan Union can enjoy peaceful life outside of any life-endangering conflict. In the document called "Seleya: Agenda for future and peace 4400" Gloria Iusitia and Council of Seleya point out that in recent decades the Seleyan Union which represents saw an unprecedented economic growth and according to the authors of the document, that is the result of closer economic cooperation on the continent and taking down economic barriers between member states. Council of Seleya highlights the importance of the Aloboro Agreement which, despite Valruzia and Alduria are the only participants, significantly affected the economic cooperation between the two countries, especially in the automotive. CoS underlines the fact that the Agreement contributes to growth in all sectors of the economy and especially in services, as with no border controls people are most likely to travel throughout Seleya. According to the document, Valruzian Ministry of Internal Affairs claims that average annual number of Aldurian tourists visiting Valruzia is 230 thousand, while the National Office for Statistical Research about 310 thousand of Valruzians visit Alduria every year. When compared with numbers before the Agreement came into force, we can see that they are roughly twice as high without the border patrols. Both Valruzian and Aldurian tourist industry benefits greatly every year thanks to the Alboro Agreement, in both countries the recent decades of saw increase in the total number of hotels and resorts and both quantitative and qualitative growth of the tourist and leisure infrastructure. In Valruzia tourist and leisure services make up a total of 8.9% of the total GDP which is relatively high result in north Seleya.

CoS and GI point out that extreme, nationalist political parties tend to undermine or distort the achievements of the Seleyan Union and tend to overuse the claim that it limits the sovereignty of the Member States. Gloria Iustitia points out that no article in the Treaty on the Seleyan Union limits the political might of any Member State and that all 12 Member States can enjoy the same rights within the community and are free to leave the organization. Economists from Gloria Iustitia highlight that in order to sustain the economic growth of the whole region, Member States will have to sit down together and work out additional protocols or declaration which will reform the current union. One of the proposed solutions is an increased level of economic freedom by establishing a pan-seleyan corporate status for companies that are able and are willing to operate on the territory of Seleyan Union and that their services and operations will have transborder character. Gloria Iustitia point out that the Valruzian government have tried to establish such solution back in 4327 with the Seleyan Petroleum Company - the planned company was supposed to have a unique corporate identity and could be the first ever Societas Seleyanea - allowing it to operate on the territory of the whole Seleyan Union and to be the subject to a special procedures in countries it operates. I could be said that currently, companies like Bonning and Reglair are the closest to what the Valruzian Government wanted to implement more than 30 years ago despite they operate as Valruzian corporate entities, and are subject to Valruzian internal taxation. Creation of such ventures could allow for the creation of the Union's budget which could be used for structural programmes for underdeveloped regions in the Seleyan Union and as subsidies for development programmes of the Member States' governments.

JOYCE REMOVED FROM LEADERSHIP, GRAYSON RETURNS


Peter Grayson returns as Leader of the Mordusian Conservatives

After losing the Presidency, Lionel Murphy believed that Prime Minister Malcolm Joyce could hang onto power until the next election; he didn’t. So snatching at that opportunity, Peter Grayson called for a leadership spill and managed to remove Joyce from power with a tally of 124-113.

As returned Leader, I won’t run for the Presidency first off; however I will attempt to secure the Prime Ministership whilst Lionel Murphy returns as Head of State. I will keep Joyce’s Cabinet selections on the frontbench for now, but I will be sending him to the backbenches and securing my authority as leader

PAUL BARRETT SWORN IN AS PRIME MINISTER ALONG WITH OTHER CABINET OFFICIALS


Prime Minister Paul Barrett is sworn-in by President Brandon Plyd

Today, Former Treasurer Paul Barrett has been sworn-in as Prime Minister of Mordusia along with the rest of the Mordusian Conservatives controlled Cabinet. Many of the Outer Cabinet and Secretary roles have been abolished, replaced with 9 different roles including the Secretary for the Mining Industry; despite there being one coal mine in the whole of Mordusia.

Many of us predict the new Conservative government to be a bit controversial on the world stage with Prime Minister Barrett’s inaugural speech being quite relaxed and called “bloke-ish” by an anonymous online poll on Tweetsy.

People of Mordusia,

As your new Prime Minister, I will see to it that Mordusia is reformed and transformed into a world-power! We will abandon the idea of working with every country in Terra, we will just work with our closest mates, like Dankuk; other nation’s and the rest of ‘em will be useless to us.

Under the new Conservative Government, living standards will be increased, whilst costs are reduced and the number of jobs will increase rapidly! The destructive legislation implemented by progressive governments will be destructed and we will provide Real Change for Mordusia!

MORDUSIA CONDUCTS MILITARY EXERCISES WITH DANKUK


Mordusian soldiers conducting training exercises with Dankuk’s Military

50,000 Mordusian soldiers, sailors, pilots and marines have arrived in Dankuk to begin training exercises with Dankuk’s military to “strengthen their relationship” as Minister of Defence Vickie Reynoldson states:

Our relationship with Dankuk is quite strong and conducting military training exercises with them will strengthen our relationship with them. The Dankukians are doing it tough at the moment but with a little help from us Mordusians, they’ll get back on their feet in no-time.

Minister of Defence Vickie Reynoldson wishes to lend a hand to Dankuk

Recently Kazulia and Dankuk have made world headlines as they have recently called a cease-fire on a war between the two nations. For a country, like Mordusia, that has controversial politicians in power, to conduct military exercises with Dankuk is quite suspicious. Foreign Minister Pauline Burton has defended the move by commenting that:

We are a small nation compared with the rest of the world, we are quite vulnerable. To put our name forward as a legitimate nation on the world stage, we need to partake in different operations and this exercise is perfect. I look forward to strengthening our alliance with Dankuk and will let Kazulia know that this is NOT a declaration of war.

The MNS Horace Grumsworth is expected to arrive in Dankuk during March 4373

500 tanks and 100 IVFs are currently stationed in Dankuk and the MNS Horace Grumsworth will set sail for Dankuk in March next year.

SOCIALIST PARTY NEGOTIATES COALITION DEAL WITH HOSIAN DEMOCRATS

The Socialist Party of Mordusia, led by Simon Bouchard, has successfully negotiated a coalition deal with the centre-right Hosian Democratic Union, a federation of three confessional parties, made up of the liberal conservative Aurorian People's Party, the social Hosian Bishopal Democratic Party, and the socially conservative Hosian Reaction.

After negotiations initially failed due to the opposition of the Hosian Reaction, the four parties came back to the negotiating table, where they agreed to split the cabinet 50/50, increase social spending while maintaining a budget surplus, halve the number of abortions through subsidies to charities, and take immediate action on climate change through various measures, including tax incentives to drive eco-friendly cars, a cap-and-trade scheme, and a national recycling program

The Bishopal Democratic Party was the most supportive of the deal out of the HDU parties, saying that this coalition would

"spread Hosian compassion for the sick and poor"

, while the Aurorian People's Party and the Hosian Reaction took a more moderate stance, the APP saying that

"we will work with the SP to ensure that we deliver on our promises for Mordusia"

and the HR simply saying that

"negotiations have been satisfactory"

The Hosian Thallerist League, an unofficial party within the HDU, said that

"this deal is terrible for Mordusia! We will work to ensure the dominance of the mighty Thaller dynasty across Terra!"

The HTL is generally recognized to be a fringe caucus and isn't expected to make a major impact on the two parties' relationship

Simon Bouchard, the Prime Minister-elect, was criticized by some on the SP's left flank, who thought that the Hosian Democrats recieved too many concessions and that he was

"abandoning core Labour values and giving up key cabinet positions for power"

in the words of Nathan McCarthy, a leading figure on the SP's left and former party leader.

Simon Bouchard previously was Prime Minister leading a purple coalition with the now inactive Free Democrats and the Progressives. He was Mordusia's first openly homosexual Prime Minister

The cabinet is due to be sworn in on May 6th, 4374

Simon Bouchard Sworn-In as Prime Minister, Paul Barrett Made Final Move as PM


On the day Simon Bouchard succeeds Paul Barrett, the Prime Minister gives the go ahead for a trade deal.

Today, Paul Barrett has officially been replaced by Simon Bouchard as Prime Minister of Mordusia along with the rest of the Cabinet. However, he made a final move as Prime Minister before being removed from office which was affirming a trade deal with Dankuk. The deal was only a simple one however, being that for every 13.5 pounds of Mordusian beef traded, Mordusia receives 1 barrel of oil from Dankuk.

Paul Barrett will remain as Co-Leader of the Mordusian Conservatives and has vowed to “restore the industries that were destroyed by previous left-wing governments which Labour was in, including the mining and manufacturing industries”.

The Socialist Party also made a controversial move, attempting to reshuffle the Cabinet after making a deal with the HDU which saw them enter Government, Paul Barrett was also seen having lunch with Samuel Monday yesterday morning, although this is yet to be confirmed. When asked about the Socialist Party backtracking on their deal the Former Prime Minister replied;

The Socialist Party conned the HDU into supporting them and now wishes to backtrack on their deal! If we were in a coalition with the HDU, we would honour the deals which we make and uphold them to the highest extent unlike the Socialists!
