Total reorganization of the Leitz Squadron to begin in coming weeks
The long lived paramilitary organization known as the Leitz Squadron now faces reorganization by the initiative from Chancellor Erika af Augustine, who hopes to exert more influence and control over the agency. The LS had has an history of being uncontrollable and rebellious as seen during the Conflict of 4822.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kivonia, Kovmark - Founded in June 4791, with its origins in the smaller Corridor Security agency, which was created to protect state officials during the occupation period, and has now extended to be a major part of the security apparatus. And so has the Leitz Squadron, shortened to the LS, a paramilitary organization and state agency semi-independent from the government and the military, it has been the symbol of the elite forces in the nation. However, due the fact that it is independent from the government as well as the military means that is has been harder to control it which one could see during the Conflict of 4822, when Viktoria Reinhardt had to suppress an uprising launched by the Leitz Squadron. Chancellor Erika af Augustine has expressed her desire to reform the Leitz Squadron, this caused a lot of unrest within the organization, however, the Chancellor as usual with her dominant behavior, quelled any dissent from them and surprisingly one week after she had announced her intentions, all LS officials had been put in line and expressed their support for her measures.

The soon-to-be reorganization of the Leitz Squadron will be total, officially it will be formally abolished and renewed under the name of the Security Department for Internal Affairs, shortened down to SEDIA. SEDIA will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, however, should circumstances require so, the Office of the Rulership Delegation Authority can by its own discretion take charge over SEDIA. The General Staff of SEDIA is the main leadership organ in charge of SEDIA activities, which will replace the LS High Command. The Chancellor's reforms will also abolish the Ministry of LS Affairs. The General-LS will be replaced by the General-SEDIA which shall be the department responsible for general policing and administration for the whole organization of the SEDIA. The LS-Security Service is replaced by the SEDIA-Security Service which shall be SEDIA's own security agency, which shall manage the collecting of information and preventing threats to the State from carrying out lethal attacks against the citizens and the institutions of the state. The SEDIA-Security Director shall be the head of the SEDIA-SS. The Korridorsäkerheten ("Corridor Security") will be from now on managed by the SEDIA under the authority of the SEDIA-Security Service and shall maintain its original operations, with the addition of protection of officials and individuals deemed necessary of protection by the discretion of the SEDIA-Security Service. The SEDIA-Security Management will replace the LS-Security Management and shall be the organization's department that manages files, information, special prisons, etc. The SEDIA-Security Management shall be headed by the Chief of the SEDIA-Security Management. The SEDIA Court Main Office shall replace the LS Court Main Office and be the internal legal system for conduction investigations, trials and punishments for the SEDIA. It shall be the only authorized authority to be able to try SEDIA personnel with the exception of SEDIA members who are on active duty within the armed forces (if the case is such, they shall be tried by a military tribunal). The SEDIA Court Main Office shall be headed by the SEDIA-Court Director. The SEDIA-Court Main Office shall exist in smaller regional and local districts, now dubbed within the SEDIA as an SEDIA-District in which shall exist a local court. A total of 20 regional courts will be managed by the SEDIA Court Main Office. The Armed-LS will be replaced by the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs which shall be a paramilitary subordinate to the SEDIA and ultimately the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Internal Troops shall be the de facto elite military force of the Davostani state. The Inspector-General of the Internal Troops shall be the head of the Internal Troops.

Some are expressing worry that a sudden reorganization of the Leitz Squadron would disrupt their work and operations against the terrorist cell AEFNS. The Minister of Internal Affairs Freja Hammarberg has assured that the reorganization is mostly on paper, the units of the Leitz Squadron will only change name and be put under their directed division. The Security Department for Internal Affairs is also believed to work on a very close level with the State Security Bureau, with the latter hoping to use the former's paramilitary manpower to root out treacherous elements, such as the current terrorists plaguing the region.

Victory at last! The Unionite people now stands victorious against its enemies
With a final defeat of the Davostani AEFNS, the national government hosted celebrations with a massive military parade in the capital city Kivonia. There the Unionite Ruler spoke to the nation and bestowed upon the heroes of the war, Grand Admiral Trón and General Palmstruch, several honorary orders to the two commanders.

Military parade in the capital city Kivonia

Kivonia, Kovmark - After a decade of their rise, the rebellious and terroristic Anti-Endralon Front for National Sovereignty has been crushed in Davostan. Thus proving the strength and unity of the NACTO forces working in Operation Unitatis. The devastating defeat of the AEFNS at the city of Storfort has given a nationwide relieve, and an all time support for the Davostani state. Some have expressed their gratitude towards the Unionite forces, as well as to the other NACTO forces, but worries over the fact that if it weren't for the increasing influence of Endralon this wouldn't happen. Despite some reservations against the underlying reasons for the decade long conflict within the Davostani territory, many have begun celebrating on the streets. Together with such celebrations came the mostly expected announcement from the national government to host a military triumph in the capital city Kivonia.

This military triumph was held yesterday, with thousands of troops from many different NACTO countries that participated in the military action against the AEFNS. With a million people cheering and watching the soldiers march victorious on the streets of the capital, one could witness the Endralonian Grand Admiral Trón Valentin and the Unionite General Miranda Palmstruch standing beside each other in their proud military uniforms of white and grey respectively in a roofless car driving behind and in front of many of the troops marching. Flags of all kind were waving, mostly the Unionite and Endralonian flags. As soon as they reached the Temple of Glory in the center of the capital, the two commanders were greeted by the Chief Administrator of NACTO Robert Arvinge, and the Chancellor of the Realm Erika af Augustine, as well as being greeted by the Unionite Ruler Nikolaus and his wife Boros Barbara, with the lovely Consort exchanging a few kind words to the Grand Admiral in their native tongue.

As raw two commanders stood on the main and large balcony of the Temple, greeting the massive crowd cheering, the Unionite Ruler then began his grand speech:

A decade ago my father, First Citizen Carolus Adrianus, visited the city of Dovborg. On his way through to greet the people that had come to see him, he was attacked by a radical citizen. My father unfortunately ended up in a devastating coma, a coma he is still in. That was the day this whole unfortunate business started, when hundreds were being attacked, killed and wounded all around the NACTO member-states. And finally after more than ten years, I can finally proclaim that we have won! And it would have been possible if it weren't for our beloved General, Miranda Palmstruch and our dear Endralonian Grand Admiral Trón Valentin. Without the genius of the Grand Admiral and his forces, we would still be plagued by the traitors who have dared lay a finger on liberty. And with this, I congratulate the Northeast-Artanian Covenant! I congratulate the Directorial Republic and our glorious Union! I congratulate the Grand Admiral for his service to liberty and peace! I congratulate our peoples strength and courage! All Hail the Union!

As he finished his speech, he continued by promoting General Palmstruch to the prestigious rank of Grand Commander of the Army, as well as making her a "Knight Grand Marshal of the Order of Reinhardt" and the "Knight Grand Officer of the Order of the Fatherland and of Patriotic Liberty". At the same time, the Unionite Ruler also awarded the Grand Admiral as a "Knight Grand Marshal of the Order of Reinhardt" and a "Knight Grand Officer of the Order of the Ideals of the Revolution", the latter being the second highest ranking order an individual can be bestowed upon in the Union. The procedure continued with the Ruler giving medals and honors to several other NACTO officers. The celebrations continued for the entire day, with a grand ceremonial ball being held in the Temple of Glory, attended by the elite (most achieving their rank through merits) of the nation. The Union of Davostan and Kivonia and the Northeast-Artanian Covenant had now celebrated and glorified their total victory over the AEFNS. At least in Davostan.

Government begins new land reforms, to increase agricultural production
The Ministry of Food and Agriculture after issuing their recent piece of legislation to the National Convention, began preparing for new land reforms. These reforms have under the recent elections been promised by the Chancellor, Erika af Augustine, to better accommodate for the poor and homeless in the Province of Bindeborg.

Eliseborg, Bindeborg - Ever since the Davostani Revolution during the 4790s, the nation has been blessed with a stable economic growth, despite some rough times such as the Conflict of 4822 or the global recession a few decades ago. The All-Union Nationalist Party has mostly focused its attention on national policies, such as the nationwide economy instead of regional ones, however, with the former and successful faction known as the Populars holding a strong grip over the provincial branch of the ANP in the Province of Bindeborg, a call for major land reforms in the province had been a major electoral issue for most voters in the province, especially on the island of Bindeborg Proper. And in the recent general election of 4882, Chancellor Erika af Augustine, while touring in the province, promised that she would deal with the desired land reforms and design a plan during her next term. Now three years into her second term, these reforms are now set to be fulfilled. Lead by not the regional branch of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, but instead on the orders of the Chancellor, the main Ministry, the national one. It is also confirmed that the Chancellor will have a direct involvement and cooperate daily with the Minister of Food and Agriculture Ann-Louise Simonsson.

The Ministry of Food and Agriculture formed the "Commission for Land Reform", directly under the supervision of the Ministry, which is and will handle all matters relating to the project and future projects of its kind. Agricultural reform has in the recent century become a major part of the southern lands of the Union, and the Unionite people there has begun mastering the skills of it. The Commission has reported that the Province of Bindeborg will become the main province of agricultural production in the Union, together with their fishing industry. The Commission took to inspiration of the Istalian Land Reforming Project launched in 4719 by the national government, and the Davostani land reform stages is constructed similarly to its Istalian counterpart. The Unionite Ministry of Food and Agriculture made no secret of their ambitions to develop the Province of Bindeborg to a major agricultural center in the Unholy Sea and the Lievenian Sea. Bindeborg is currently one of the main fishing centers in the region, something that is believed to be rapidly expanded in a few years.

The land reforms will go through several stages, beginning with the Commission to designate ten sectors in the southern parts of the island of Bindeborg Proper. The lands in these sectors will be gradually claimed by the state, beginning with the designated sector 1 and then moving up to sector 10. The depending on the size of a sector, there will be an estimated 500 to 1000 lands, or properties with possible agricultural capabilities to be drawn and divided in the sectors and then given to poor and/or homeless families first and foremost in the province. The Commission has also announced that they will start an education program for the families that will be distributed a piece of land. After the state has claimed a sector, the agricultural lands of that sector will immediately be cultivated and expanded to be provided for the first poor or homeless family to register for obtaining lands in that sector. The Commission also reports that poverty will be drastically decreased in the province and make the poor – which has been given a land to farm and provide agriculture – a stable pillar and provider for society with food supply, a more green environment, etc, and a nationwide storage of food.

Another part of the reform, is that if there is any leftover of the lands to be used in the sectors, they will be distributed to retired military personnel and their families. The Commission also points out that if there would be any leftovers from that as well, the lands will be either sold to the private sector or be maintained by state-owned agricultural industries. Economic experts, who have been designated to help with statistical reports of maintenance and future growth from the farms, have claimed that a economic boost in the agricultural field will be inevitable and food demands around the country will be dramatically decreased. The Commission has also made clear that these lands are not distributed to people for their own personal usage, but rather that contracts will be made, where the future land owners will cultivate their lands and sell for a fair price their agriculture of food, grain, etc, to the state. The Commission continued by pointing out that the state will be able to store food for generations to come, if war, natural disasters or diseases haunts the Union and its people.

National Convention motions the withdrawal from major treaty with Kundrati
The National Convention begins voting on the four-year old motion that would withdraw the UDK from the 4849 agreement to sanction Luthori and more importantly the Davostan-Kundrati treaty of friendship. This motion is a response to the Kundrati decision to leave NACTO, with the Union hoping to halt the export of its vital resource of tungsten. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is instead seeking to redraft the treaty, hoping to exclude some articles.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kivonia, Kovmark - The 4882 Act for Treaty Withdrawals was proposed in late May 4882, but hasn't been touched for several years – four to be exact. The reason for this has been to carefully observe the events that have taken place in Kundrati. The motion was proposed by National Convention deputy Tove Gylling, who reasoned that with the major protests by the Kundrati people starting in later 4881 after the terrorist attack on the Kundrati Stock Exchange and with several Kundrati senators giving heavy criticism against NACTO a motion was needed to make sure vital goods from the Union was secured in case if Kundrati would align themselves against the interests of the Covenant. And now, two years after "Kundrexit", the deputy decided to send the years-old motion for voting in the Convention. Widely known for her exceptional rhetorical abilities, the 28 year old deputy Gylling, has had no problem convincing her colleagues in the Convention to approve her motion which is estimated to pass the legislature in July 4887.

The treaties in the motion are the 35 year old 'Agreement to Sanction the Holy Luthori Empire of 4849', which is a heavily outdated agreement which was put in place due to the actions of Luthori's former fascist government, the other treaty, which is the "main dish" is the 'Davostan-Kundrati Treaty of Friendship, Free Trade and Cooperation' which was ratified almost 100 years ago. The treaty was considered one of Davostan's first steps on the international stage after the Hutorian occupation. Deputy Tove Gylling made it very clear that she does not oppose the treaty in in itself but rather only one article of the existing 21. This article being number seven, of which the Union would agree "...to prioritize tungsten exports to Kundrati and lower the prices.". The parliamentary committee for foreign affairs was the first to criticize deputy Gylling's motion, stating that "...it would be insane if every country withdrew from whole treaties simply because they don't like one article in them...". This sentiment was also heard from some voices in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The deputy, however, responded that the decision to leave NACTO and turn to other nations and forces could pose a major risk, due to the fact that "... the Kundrati state bows down before terrorists..." might result in them giving away the Union's resources to other powers.

Even though the motion has not yet passed, the Unionite nation continues to do things differently, as deputy Gylling – who also happens to be the chairwoman of the parliamentary committee for trade relations – have now lobbied to the Ministry of Trade and Industry to act in accordance to the motion being voted on. The deputy Gylling convinced the Vice Minister of Trade Markus Larsson to halt the exports of both fish and the vital tungsten to Kundrati. The parliamentary committee for foreign affairs as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are now looking into rebuilding a new treaty of friendship with Kundrati – excluding articles involving important resources of the Union – hoping to draft and ratify one before the passing of the withdrawal motion next year. But, a redraft of the treaty seems to depend solely on Kundrati.

Party members begins espousing protectionist policies
The Chancellor's hold on power within the party is without doubt strong, and her recent legislation concerning the land reforms has increased her popularity. However, with the rise of party members espousing protectionist polices, the Chancellor will need to find a way through such ideas which could if turned a specific way drastically change the UDK's position towards its regional allies and trading partners.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kivonia, Kovmark - Ever since the rise of Erika af Augustine to the position of Chancellor of the UDK and General Secretary of the ANP, factions within the ruling party has begun to be loosely defined, those following the doctrines of Hemmingism is now relics of a bygone era, while the One-nationism movement still dominates, however, as every movement becomes an established force, rivals will appear. This time, several members of the party has taken a more radical since towards economic nationalism and trade protectionism. A main promoter of this new "faction" is the National Convention deputy and chairwoman of the parliamentary committee for trade relations Tove Gylling. This group within the One-nation faction rose from the motion drafted by deputy Gylling, to withdraw from the Kundrati friendship treaty to protect the vital resources of the UDK. Economic nationalism is not a new concept in the UDK, rather it is one of the most common and – de facto – important ideological standpoints for the ANP, with the Chancellor herself being a major proponent for economic nationalism, however, she has several times avoided – in her most recent interview – the question concerning protectionism.

The Chancellor and General Secretary's land reforms which passed this summer radically increased her popularity, which could be seen going down to dangerously low digits. However, a sense of populism has arisen and it is clear that she understands its power on people. And now with several members promoting a protectionist populism on the rise, she might need to compromise and open up her own thoughts concerning such an ideological stance, and if she is caught in the wind of the populism roaming around her, we might as well already know the answer to her "opinion" on it. If she wish to hold on to power as the undisputed leader of the party and the government, then she must give in to the thought of more severe economic nationalist and protectionist policies. Some in the party, however, believe that the Chancellor and General Secretary might be able to contain the protectionists rising in the party and let their ideas fade away like the Hemmingists before them. The consequences there might be if the Union decides to take a protectionist route, could affect their positioning within NACTO creating an uncertainty for the future of the alliance.

Revolutionary Calendar, Year 91, Blomstermåned 4 | 4 March 4887
National Convention introduces a new official national calendar
The National Convention have now begun to vote on a radical proposal by the Ministry of Culture and Education, which will introduce the Union's very own calendar, beginning on the date of the Union's foundation. All months have been renamed to seasonal characteristics or popular historic figures. The reason for the implementation of this calendar, is to give a signal of complete independence and national sovereignty from outside foreign powers.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kivonia, Kovmark - The act known as the Introduction of the Revolutionary Calendar of the Union are now being voted on in the National Convention to be approved. This calendar was designed at the request of the Ministry of Culture and Education, their historical justification claims that this calendar was said to have been suggested by prominent revolutionaries during the Davostani Revolution, however, due to the flame of the revolution being "extinguished" just before the foundation of the Union, the idea was generally forgotten. However, in recent times a romanticist movement celebrating the revolution has begun to flourish around the Union, and the idea of our own calendar would signal total independence from outside powers. This new calendar is expected to be approved on the 1st of December 4887, or as said in the new calendar – as we will explain – it is expected to be approved on the U.G. Year 91, Kejsarmåned 1.

The "Revolutionary Calendar" does not change the numbers of days in a year, a month, or a week, but rather the calendar is to start on the 1st June 4796, the day of the foundation of the Union. Not only that, but all of the twelve months of the year has been renamed either to their seasonal characteristics or in honor to a popular historic figure. The months in order are: Elismåned (January), named after Elise Reinhardt, First Consul of the New Kivonian Republic; Evylinmåned (February), named after Evylin I Ashé-Rivières, Noble Princeps of the New Kivonian Republic; Vårmåned (March), named after the season of spring; Gräsmåned (April), named after the grass of spring; Blomstermåned (May), named after the flowers that blossoms during this month; Solmåned (June), named after the sun which shines the brightest during this month, another unofficial name of the month is Unionsmåned, in honor of the foundation of the Union, the decision to choose "sun" also represents that all in the nation revolves around the Union; Skördemåned (July), named after the large harvest of the month, its unofficial name is also Erwinmåned, in honor of Erwin Reinhardt, the Saint of Salvation; Äremåned (August), named after August Reinhardt, Dictator of the Kivonian Republic, as his name "August" means "venerable" and venerable translates to "Ära" in Kivonian, the alternative name of the month is Augustmåned; Segermåned (September), named after Viktoria Reinhardt, Unionite ruler (Sovereign) of the Union, as her name "Viktoria" means "victory" and victory translates to "Seger" in Kivonian, the alternative name of the month is Viktoriamåned; Höstmåned (October), named after the season of autumn; Folkmåned (November), named after the people of the nation in honor for their commitment of beginning the Davostani Revolution; Kejsarmåned (December), named in honor of the Kivonian Empire and Emperors who were founded and crowned respectively during this month, the unofficial name of the month is Oskarsmåned, in honor of the two Emperors Oskar I and Oskar II who began their reigns during this month.

The calendar also introduces the characteristic that during the 60th year of a calendar's century – also dubbed revolutionary century – the name of the month of Skördemåned (July) is renamed "Frälsningsmåned", in honor of Erwin Reinhardt, the Saint of Salvation in Davostan; but also, the 90th year of a revolutionary century, the name of the month of Folkmåned (November) is renamed "Revolutionsmåned" in honor of the Davostani Revolution; their original names of Skördemåned and Folkmåned returns at the beginning of the next year until the next 60th and 90th years of a revolutionary century. When displaying the dates of the calendar, for example the date "1st June 4796" is displayed like "U.G. Year 1, Solmåned 1", another way to display it is like this "Revolutionary Calendar, Year 1, Solmåned 1", or to only display the year one can do it like this "1 U.G.". The "U.G." is an abbreviation for "Unionen Grundlagdes", which means in both Davostani and Kivonian "the Union was founded". Alternative abbreviation could be "U.C.E." for "et Unionis condita est", which holds the same meaning as "U.G.", or one could use "U.R.K." for "Unionens Revolutionäre Kalender/Unionens Revolutionære Kalender", which means "Revolutionary Calendar of the Union", or simply "R.K." for "Revolutionære Kalender/Revolutionäre Kalender", which means "Revolutionary Calendar".

Another part of the Revolutionary Calendar, is that the U.G. Year 1 is only seven months, or 214 days, as it began on the midnight of the 1st June 4796, and ended on the midnight of the 1st January 4797. The common calendar, most commonly used around Terra, can be used before U.G. Year 1. However, the Revolutionary Calendar – at the choice of its user – can be used before U.G. Year 1, in that case it will count in reverse, thus the term "Inden/Innan Unionen" or "I.U." is used, and I.U. Year 1 began on the midnight of the 1st January 4796, and ended on the midnight of the 1st June 4796 (U.G. Year 1, Solmåned 1). Years such as 4795 will be known as I.U. Year 2; and 4794 will be known as I.U. Year 3; and 4793 will be known as I.U. Year 4; etc. Thus the I.U. Year 1 is only five months, or 151 days. Otherwise, nothing else has changed, leap years continues to be used and the various numbers in the months are still the same. Thus we end this article by proudly being the first to use the Revolutionary calendar in an official usage.

Military Conference ends with ambitious High Command project
The Elismåned Military Conference of several private business people, military officers, state and military officials was held to discuss the future of the armed forces of the Union of Davostan and Kivonia, with the crown jewel of the plans being an ambitious project to centralize the military industries of the nation and construct a city-wide military production centre.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Fladborg, Sønderhavn - The representatives of all the military industries in the Union of Davostan and Kivonia held a three week conference in the city of Fladborg, in the Province of Sønderhavn. A known fact is that the military industry in Davostan has for quite some time been under de facto nationalization. It is clear that the production industries in this specific area of expertise has without much trouble or complaints followed every whim of the Military High Command of the armed forces. The largest industrial corporation, being the state-owned Sword & Shield Defense Industry, and for the past half century been regarded as the patron for the minor privatized military industries. It has also been the norm for the Ministry of Defense and the Military High Command to closely supervise the private industries in order to keep them in line of the standards and goals of the armed forces. The conference now known as the "Elismåned Military Conference" due to its enormous size and length, did not only compose of private business people, a member of the MEB board of directors – the largest private bank in Davostan – but also with a large number of bureaucrats, military officers, representatives from the Military High Command, the heads of the Central Military Production Department, as well as the deputy Minister of Defense. All gathered to discuss the future of Unionite military industries and its productions.

Only now after the conference, we do know that it was eagerly discussed the ambitious plans designed by the Military High Command. They designed a structured organization to be known simply as the "Central Military Complex", other names used are the "National Military Complex", "State Military Complex" or "Republic Military Complex", with the latter suggested by the Anfoerare ("Anförare", the head of state). The CMC is under voting process of the National Convention, its purpose is to centralize the military industrial complexes around the nation. Every private and state military manufacturing company will have to work under the this umbrella organization led by a newly formed "Central Military Complex Command" under the supervision of the Military High Command. The CMC Command will be composed of representatives from the Ministry of Defense, the Military High Command and the Central Military Production Department. The CMC Command will have the authority to seize the necessary properties, factories and other industrial complexes in order to meet the standards of the armed forces. For example, the state-owned "West Maconic Mining Industry" will have to follow the guidelines and standards for the mines the CMC Command has decided to operate on. The crown jewel of these plans were massive military industrial complexes which has been decided to be built at an old harbor several miles northwest of the city of Fladborg, a planned project the High Command call a "military industrial metropolis". This old harbor has the small historical significance for being the harbor used by regime of the Third Kivonian Republic to escape to the island of Dovmark during the closing days of the Macon War. It is also a kilometer out to the water, where the infamous Counselor to the Third Republic, Julius Callus's body lies after some officers tried to escort it via helicopter but was shot down. The plan is to build a 30 km2 (11.58 sq mi) city of manufacturing factories, which will be linked with military highways to several minor mines in the nearby areas. These mines are producing high valued resources such as tungsten, iron, etc, which is going to be essential for the military production.

This "military industrial metropolis" will begin construction as soon as the Act for the Creation of the "Central Military Complex" has passed with approval in the National Convention. It is estimated that the construction will finish in two to three years, with thousands of construction employees already being assigned to their various tasks. Within the site, there will be a expansion of the already abandoned harbor, for naval usage, and for the production center for the navy; there will also be a airstrip with a production center for the Air Force; while also with various manufacturing centers for equipment, arms, ground vehicles and much more. It is an estimated that there will be 50,000 residents living there, with many of them working in some part in the industrial complexes. The manufacturers also have their families in the same place, with an expectation that all family members above the age of 18 will contribute in some way for the military industry, while those under the age of 17 will go in Civil Cadet Academies (schools with regular subjects, but with a inclusion of military aspects). The High Command dubs this military city as "CMC Special Site-001", however it has more popularly been called "Callusarv", which is a merge of the two terms "Callus" and "arv" meaning respectively in Kivonian "Callus's" and "legacy", as a reference to Julius Callus' legacy as a military man and with his burial in the waters of the old harbor.

The Military High Command sees "Callusarv" as the future of the military might of the Union of Davostan and Kivonia. They hope to use it for mass production of arms, vehicles for ground, air and navy combat. They also hope to use it for experimenting with new production designs, which rumors goes, the Central Military Production Department already are working on.
