PM Østergaard hails landslide re-election



The Prime Minister and leader of Samlingspartiet, Knud Østergaard, has welcomed his party's second consecutive supermajority in the May 4703 elections. The SP took 174 seats in the Folketing to 56 for the opposition Demokratisk Folkepartiet, carrying all five provinces by convincing margins, thus ensuring another five years of SP rule. Having arrived to a boisterous reception at Samlingspartiet headquarters on election night, the PM had the following to say to the assembled press:

This overwhelming victory is a sign that the people of Davostan continue to endorse our sound conservative policies, which have lead to greater security and prosperity for all citizens.

He also dismissed criticism of the government's controversial move to criminalize refusal to perform military service:

Allowing people to opt out of defending their country in times of need is an absurd and unfair policy, which makes a mockery out of our national service laws. The election result shows that the ordinary people of Davostan understand this well. I hope that the opposition will draw a lesson from this and abandon their current left-wing drift, which is clearly out of step with popular opinion and the needs of the country.

Amongst the priorities for the new term, the PM mentioned public service reform and infrastructure development.

Demokratisk Folkepartiet reenters majority, sets forth major reforms
With the surprising collapse of the SP majority government seemingly out of nowhere, MPs of the DFP organized a snap election this month, winning a landslide victory. The Party's leader, Oda Hemmingsen, has already outlined a litany of major reforms for the nation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Coming as a surprise to fellow lawmakers, the Samlingspartiet, despite winning last year's election and no doubt ensuring their comfortable governance for another five years, disbanded their party suddenly and largely without word to the Folketinget. The cabinet of PM Østergaard nonetheless continued to execute it's duties despite no longer having a party to hold allegiance to. The scales then tipped once more back in the DFP's favor upon the calling of a snap election by the party's MPs. With final votes having concluded yesterday, the result was a resounding landslide for the party which had previously founded the modern Republic.

Moving quickly, the party under Hemmingsen then drafted a new majority cabinet before the Folketinget, not long after the end of the previous legislature's session. While still being voted on at the present moment, it is expected to pass without any difficulties. It has been noted that since the previous stint of DFP governance, the current cabinet drafted consists of considerably more progressive candidates, although the former incumbent Minister of Finance for the DFP, Ludvig Therkelsen, seems to be poised for reelection. The PM-elect, Oda Hemmingsen, stated she'd be committing to her policies expressed both during her election as Leader her party, and during the campaign trail last year.

We've been outside of government for nearly six years. in those six years we could only watch from the sidelines as legislation was proposed which undercut labor reform, a woman's reproductive rights, and the egregious criminalization of conscientious objection. Alongside that, we could only watch agape as the SP drove our national defense budget through the roof, despite our repeated insistence that the country has, and likely never will see any major adversaries or enemies. It was utterly ridiculous - no, abhorrent, to see the SP defend the measure of restricting the right to refuse service, and vaguely claiming that the public felt the same. Shameful.

Thankfully, despite how unexpectedly it has come, the wind is blowing in our direction once more - Leaving us with satisfaction, but much, much work to be done.

Initial reforms that have already been discussed by the new DFP-led government include the aforementioned restoration of the rights of conscientious objectors, reinstatement of full abortion rights, and the repeal of previously passed economic reforms under the SP. Further changes that were mentioned by lawmakers was the reinstatement of previous tax brackets, and the downgrading of the Ministry of Defense's budget.

Among other developments was the somewhat noteworthy retirement of the Demokratisk Folkepartiet's first Folketinget Leader Stephanie Daugaard, who'd deftly represented the party for 17 years. Whilst always able to excellently keep MPs united on policy within the national legislature, Daugaard considered herself somewhat more of a moderate within DFP politics, hearkening back to the party's early, more socially-liberal days.

She was stated as giving her respect for Hemmingsen, championing a woman's ability to lead and effectively delegate national policy, but felt in some areas she was too aggressive, vaguely claiming that it was her eagerness to push very progressive legislation during last year's election which cost the party an escape from the SP's supermajority. After a short vote, her successor was named as Helena Jeppsen, a firm social democrat, seemingly continuing to reflect the party's "rose-colored wave" of more leftward ideals.


PM-elect Hemmingsen enters the Folketinget, legislative documents at her side. The staunch social democrat has already began the process of organizing major reforms across many aspects of the nation.

Major snowstorm slams northern parts of Davostan, prompting national response
Breaking numerous records and witnessing historic temperature lows, the snowstorm which has pounded northern Davostan has left some towns stranded, and if reports are to be confirmed, fatalities due to exposure. Such devastation has immediately prompted a federal response.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Winter has seemingly refused to wait until December in Davostan, as the global Terran Digital news organization reported unusually low temperatures last spring all across the north of Terra. Such unseasonably cold temperatures for a region already used to it's fair share of brisk climates continued much into the latter half of this year, culminating in a massive snowstorm plowing the northern provinces of the nation, predominantly affecting nearly all of Davostan. Although it can be said the most severely affected were the Provinces of Dovmark, Bindeborg, and the northernmost reaches of Sønderhavn.

Despite the cautious preparation undertaken by most Davostanis in the brief time before the snowstorm made landfall, none could truly expect the ferocity at which it ravaged numerous towns in the region. Snow piled up in the span of mere hours, leaving some villages in nearly ten feet of snow. Overpowered by the numerous calls for aid, local governments have reportedly petitioned the federal government in Kyrmár for a response, and their requests were answered almost immediately. PM Østergaard, speaking before first responders, stated that fire and police crews from the south would be called to assist with clearing snow, as well as locating any possible missing persons. There have been unfortunate yet unconfirmed reports of fatalities due to exposure scattered across Davostan, prompting a swift reaction time on behalf of the federal government.

Citizens who still had cell service in the region were quick to share videos and photos of the first wave of responders arriving to areas hit most by the storm, with videos of fire crews fiercely shoveling massive snowdrifts away from homes and businesses. The storm was notable for breaking numerous temperature records, with some areas reaching temperatures of -50 or below. With the unexpected nature of the natural disaster, alongside the deadly temperatures it brought with it, has once more ignited the public on the matter of climate change, specifically global cooling. The Demokratisk Folkepartiet, and more specifically it's leader Oda Hemmingsen, who now stands as the PM-elect, has argued for comprehensive reform to mitigate such disasters from becoming more deadly with each passing year.

In the early years of the Republic, both the Samlingspartiet and the DFP agreed that climate change was a "major threat" to the next generations of the world, and that all manner of measures should be implemented to stop it. But so far, as ice covers the roads, and pipes are sheathed in it, leaving many to worry about their structural integrity, most citizens are left wondering if the government will truly take action. Among DFP lawmakers, the drive to see the reversal of this crisis is enormous - with many stating that the delay was simply due to having to sit on the sidelines, after six years of inactive SP rule.

But as the globe cools, the formation of ice presents perhaps a new scramble for resources among major powers in the Arctic - namely a place to hold exercises, but the vast majority of land in the northernmost reaches of Terra lies untapped, leaving many economic analysts speculating, and often lobbying for a push to claim the frozen reaches of the north.

Years of liberalization sees growth of new economy
In areas such as the service sector, consumer goods, and electronics as well as software development,
new industries have seen a steady climb since economic liberalization under the four-term Møller Presidency.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

For years Davostan was a country locked away from Terra, a rusted, eternally shut door to global outsiders. News would trickle out every so often, but even then it's credibility was dubious. More often than not, the world heard of egregious suppression of it's native peoples, the enforcement of state-sanctioned religion on a diverse population, and a deeply authoritarian state controlling most aspects of society like a smothering blanket. But since the fateful year of 4687, in which democratic voices triumphed in support of a secular, free Republic - The nation has seen the return of a national economy once more, changing from oppressive intervention to regulations with the aim of safeguarding labor, welfare, and social security. As well as a robust economy to boot.

Whilst still needing to overcome the hurdle of formally reentering the world stage in terms of economics, Davostan itself has seen the rapid growth of several new industries, each contributing as building blocks for a new national economy as a whole. Key employers which'd been noted in the Ministry of Finance's National Economic Report (NER), a bi-annual report detailing GDP, spending, and taxation trends saw that the nominal production of consumer goods, mainly in the form of domestic furniture, consumer electronics, and to a lesser extent entertainment media saw the largest increase over the previous several years, rising to become a major aspect of the national economy as a whole - if not the largest.

Other industries noted in the NER as developing into significant employers was the service sector (mainly in the form of transportation, sanitation and maintenance occupations), electronics and software development, and sustainable energy, predominantly in nuclear and solar power. The former had taken a considerably large chunk of sustainable and renewable energy resources, noting that by law, most electricity is mandated to be generated predominantly via nuclear power.

Minor industries which saw their emerging growth within the national economy included the automotive sector, commercial fishing, agriculture (which'd previously dominated the economies of previous regimes for centuries), forestry, and more surprisingly to both private and public economists, private arms manufacturing. Recently, the re-appointed Minister of Finance, Ludvig Therkelsen commented greatly about such growth, and had laid out further reforms to bolster the national economy before the legislature last July. Such reforms which included a 45 billion increase of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. "I think this is now the time that we're finally seeing growth - both domestically and to a lesser extent, internationally," Therkselsen stated at a conference last month. "Our national agencies should reflect such trends, and be ready for continuing to support and reward such advancements."

Details with regards to the concentration of such industries across the five Provinces of the nation addressed in the NER saw the major economic aspects, which the Ministry of Finance has taken to labeling as the Main Economy (Although it's contents could shift over the coming years), saw the four industries be mostly concentrated in the mainland portion of Dovmark and parts of northern and central Kyrmár. Minor aspects, which the MoF had labeled as the Side Economy, saw the five developing industries spread out over most of the nation, though the NER had indicated the automobile industry as well as arms industries be contained within the center portions of the country, spread out mostly around the border of the regions of Kyrmár and Dovmark.


A nuclear power plant is seen in action in Fladborg, Sønderhavn, having been completed last spring after five years of construction.
With other industries, sustainable energy has quickly developed as a key employer over the past decade,
outlined by the Ministry of Finance as being part of the nation's "Main Economy".

Government to introduce total ban on nonrenewable resources
With social democrats at the helm in coalition with greens among the party's factions,
the DFP majority government has proposed historic environmental legislation by way of a complete ban on all nonrenewable resources nationwide.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In a move to meet the five decade minimum outlined by PM Hemmingsen with regards to obtaining 100% renewable energy, the ruling DFP government has done a rather bold move of introducing a complete ban on most major forms of nonrenewable resources. Whilst most progressives within the factions of the DFP have championed such a bill, more conservative citizens of Davostan (and to a lesser extent, the party's own socially liberal faction) have spoken out against such quick moves towards a renewable energy-based economy. This comes despite the fact that the party has explicitly outlined that benefits be given to industrial workers who'd upon the passage of the bill this summer likely be unemployed. "I think they're going too fast, and not willing to listen to public opinion," Lars Norgaard, a local waste management company owner, stated in an on-the-spot interview. "Yes, the winter a couple years back was clearly a show of what's to come if we keep neglecting to act on climate change, but this is just haphazard on their part, even with including social security cushioning. I figure it'll likely be more bureaucracy and a lot of misplaced benefits."

Despite the criticism, the move was reportedly met with strong support by the more left-leaning population of Davostan, and shared further support across both regions among younger, college voters. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Environment and Tourism petitioned for comment by Dagbog did reach out for clarification on the legislation, stating as follows: "Obviously there is going to be backlash against major legislation such as this, that much is a given. But we believe a firm hand with regards to the environment is exactly what is needed in our present moment. 28 deaths were recorded due to exposure to constant record-breaking cold temperatures. Villages were isolated, power, heat and infrastructure put at risk, and many other adverse effects. Besides, we've seen a global trend in a drop-off in usage of resources classified as 'dirty', such as coal, oil, and petroleum. A temporary loss in employment is a small price to pay for what will be a more diverse, clean and sustainable economy in the distant future."

Such claims seem to have some merit. According to the Ministry of Finance's National Economic Report (NER), published last year, despite a rise in several other industries, the reemergence of fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources stayed at a stagnant 7.6% growth rate. In some instances, specifically with regards to oil and fracking, that number decreased by 2.5%. It's clear that "dirty energy" has not seen a massive popularity unless it is in regions where it lies in abundance.

Regardless, such legislation has undoubtedly left companies related to the field in a tailspin, with the most prominent Davostani-based petroleum company, Nordlig Petroleum og Gas, or Northern Petroleum and Gas (NPG) opening to a disastrous showing on the national Stock Market's floor in Kyrmár. All but ensuring the inevitable, it seems - Unless the current government seeks a buyout, or outright nationalization. Given the circumstances, it'd be reasonable to assume such.


A coal plant is pictured here in Engelshøj, on the island of Dovmark. If the DFP's legislation is passed, and it likely will with no opposition, then all it's workers see themselves be unemployed.
However, the DFP's legislation has explicitly included the right of social security and subsidy benefits to be granted to affected workers.

Foreign Ministry declares neutrality in major diplomatic affairs
Citing Davostan's long distance from any major continents, Foreign Minister Gabriel Oveson declared today Davostan's neutrality
in major diplomatic affairs of Terra. Oveson then stated that his office would begin crafting international legislation to cement their stance.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Issuing a press conference before a swath of journalists and some minor observers from foreign diplomatic attachés, Foreign Minister Gabriel Oveson announced Davostan's adoption of a doctrine of neutrality in major diplomatic affairs of the world at large. Having been a key talking point among politicians within the DFP for years now, and growing ever prominent after the raising of the defense budget by the former Samlingspartiet administration, diplomatic neutrality is not an entirely new concept within the country, but has now finally coalesced into official policy on behalf of the government at large.

However Oveson was quick to clear the air on criticism lodged by some outlets - Namely those remarking that his office's declaration would simply be isolationism under a different coat of paint. "I want to make it clear: The nation of Davostan hereby declares neutrality in major diplomatic affairs of Terra at large," he stated before members of the media. "Our government still very much has a vested interest in renewing diplomatic outreach from our nation to several others across the globe, alongside the foundation of lasting economic ties not just within our own continent, but worldwide."

But the Foreign Minister was also firm that such words would not simply be just that - And later announced upon the closing of his speech that his office would work to craft international legislation on the matter, by way of a treaty. "With regards to the structure of such legislation, whether it is simply a document recognizing our own position on neutrality or one that allows other governments to do so is still up for debate," Oveson said after his closing statements. "But I can say that it is especially welcoming that we can do so unimpeded. This doctrine has been one of which our government has been pushing to adopt for quite some time, seeing as though we have no justifiable reason to involve ourselves with major disputes, conflicts, or even far-reaching wars. Our nation can truly achieve the words enshrined upon our national motto - 'Peace, Freedom, and Fatherland', and still forge lasting diplomatic and economic relationships."


Foreign Minister Oveson gives a press conference with regards to his office's recent shift in foreign policy. "Whilst our stance on neutrality is firm, this is purely for major diplomatic affairs," He stated before journalists. "Davostan is still fully committed to fostering strong economic ties with major powers across Terra - alongside our own continent."

Ministry of Defense to lay out armed forces modernization plan, but focus on defensive doctrine
Despite a drastically lowered budget, the MoD still stated it's primary focus over the next few years would strictly be modernization, alongside the announcing that it'd switch to a primarily defensive doctrine. With regards to such, a spokesperson for the MoD stated it was in talks with "local and global arms & equipment manufacturers".
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Organizing a press conference today before some members of the government and limited press coverage by private outlets, current Chief of Staff of the Federal Army, General Lars Brink, speaking on behalf of Defense Minister Eigil Johanssen announced that the bulk of activity for the Armed Forces would be committed to a modernization plan of equipment, vehicles, and doctrine. With regards to the latter, Chief of Staff Brink announced that the Federal Army would no longer utilize an offensive strategy, but rather switch towards one of defense.

Our country had been sealed off for well over a few centuries until the late 4600s. As such, keeping your nation tight-lipped towards the international community on the horrors of endless years of theocratic rule does wonders for being able to continue doing such - Until you aren't. On the contrary of such success, restricting trade as a side effect of that can really do a number on the effectiveness, modernity and doctrines of the armed forces. As it stands right now the armed forces are utilizing equipment, weaponry and tactics that are horrendously outdated in the present year.

There absolutely has to be a modernization of the armed forces as quickly as we can muster, despite the strategy of neutrality and focusing less on defense by the government at large. While recognizing these policies, there still must be improvement in those three previously mentioned areas. Such details are up to the Minister of Defense, of which he's informed me that procurement of modern firearms, the first step in what will likely be a three-pronged approach - shall be contracted by private entities, and our own national defense industries.

In later portions of his address, General Brink noted that offensive strategy was effectively rendered "largely unfeasible" in the current political climate, one which has seen uninterrupted peace and neutrality for the country at large, despite efforts to see otherwise by previous ruling parties. Brink also stated that the large undercut in budget for the Defense Ministry was of "little concern" to the office at large, with the liquidation of outdated items likely to satisfy any possible monetary shortages or hiccups. In his closing statements on the matter, Brink humorously stated "Well, there's a mountain of Davosti in surplus sitting underneath the Finance Ministry's rear - Who's to say we can't pluck a few billion from underneath?"


"Despite the funds of the office I serve practically being a rollercoaster at this point, we nonetheless must commit to modernization," the Federal Army's Chief of Staff, Lars Brink stated during a radio interview. "Alongside that, it's simply not feasible in this current climate to continue focusing on offensive doctrine. There's simply no major adversaries for our nation at the present."

Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport unveils major revitalization plan for national roadways
Aimed at both streamlining the methods for building new roads alongside rejuvenating aging networks, the MoIaT has outlined an ambitious plan to completely renew Davostan's aging infrastructure in a minimum of two decades.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Although the previous government under the Samlingspartiet fueled a significant boost into the budget of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the execution of major infrastructure reform touted by the party was noticeably spotty. Despite a lowering of the MoIaT's budget by the new DFP-led government in 4705, Finance Minister Therkelsen stated his office would be "...open to further budget increases if the conditions satisfy it." Even with a smaller budget, this hasn't deterred Infrastructure and Transport Minister Svend Þjóðarsson, a Kyrmár native, from unveiling a major revitalization plan of all current inter-provincial road networks, highways, and continental networks shared by both Davostan and Hutori. Although with regards to the latter, Þjóðarsson stated that his office would strictly revitalize the Kivonian-owned sections.

"We've seen talks about cleaning up our roadways and making them more newer, safer and easy to navigate for years now," Þjóðarsson stated during a press conference. "But no action - Today that changes. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport shall launch it's largest revitalization project of road networks to date." Whilst previous improvements in infrastructure had been devolved to the provincial level, Þjóðarsson stated that his office's plans would be conducted at a national scale, split between two different operations in both Dovmark and Kyrmár. Despite the project causing a stir among some local officials, the move was largely welcomed by Davostan - a region that despite seeing vast improvements since it's period of instability in the latter half of the last century, still has many obstacles facing it's path of full reconstruction.

Speaking at length about the execution of the project, which is being formally named "Project Renewal" by Þjóðarsson, work would as stated before be split amongst the regions of Dovmark and Kyrmár, with focus in both areas being given to major routes such as highways and continental roads. Also stated was the streamlining of road signs, the simplification of road classification, and the creation of four new Motorways, or Motorvej in Dovmarkansk and Hraðbraut in Skjöldunga. M/H 1-4 would utilize the previously laid road networks, but significantly deteriorated or fewer used networks would be dismantled by the MoIaT and the soil replaced. Þjóðarsson also stated that certain major highways would have certain sections rerouted to lessen traffic and reduce noise pollution. Estimated costs detailed by Þjóðarsson's office were between 75-130 million Davosti. In his closing statements, Þjóðarsson set a minimum of 20 years to achieve 100% completion of Project Renewal, which he hopes to achieve possibly even earlier.


A refurbished highway system is shown in the province of Hafnarlavik. Whilst this specific work was done at the provincial level, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport seeks to make their plan one of national collaboration. Whilst this has caused a stir among some local government officials, most have (especially in Davostan) welcomed the decision with open arms.

Ministry of Finance purchases several former nonrenewable energy companies, reforms into state-owned "National Heat and Power"
In a move in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the Finance Ministry has just purchased over five major nonrenewable energy companies facing bankruptcy, nationalizing each of them and regrouping them as a state-owned corporation under the name "National Heat and Power".
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Publicizing their move in a monthly report last week, the Finance Ministry in cooperation with the Environment and Tourism Ministry unveiled their recent purchasing of over five companies across the country which'd previously thrived off of the extraction of nonrenewable energy sources prior to the Ban on Non-Renewable Energy Sources Act of 4706, but now had for some time lingered on the edge of bankruptcy. Shortly after their purchases, the companies were nationalized, and their organization restructured into a singular, state-owned corporation, it being named National Heat and Power, or National Varme og Strøm in Dovmarkansk, and Þjóðhitinn og krafturinn in Skjöldunga.

Not long afterwards the freshly-formed publicly owned entity began the dismantling of any remaining equipment and machinery related to nonrenewable energy extraction, and shifted it's focus to strictly renewable resource methods and extraction, alongside the additional measure of research and development into further methods of the field. It's ownership was also left under the responsibility of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, who had after it's formation appointed a new board of directors, as well as a chairman. The first projects launched by the company after a press conference were slated to be the construction of wind farms on both the islands of Bindeborg and Dovmark, the refurbishment of aging nuclear power plants as well as the initial construction of new sites in southern Kyrmár, and the overseeing of the adoption of solar panels in most homes in both regions.

A spokesperson for the company stated it's initial projects would be expected to last within the realm of 10-15 years, with some minor endeavors being the providing of subsidized heat to the middle-class, and the total waiving of heating costs for low-income households. "The ability to stay warm in an already brisk continent is a fundamental right," the company's Chairman, Tóbías Indriðason stated during the corporation's founding press conference today. "It's only going to get cooler - The least we could do is show some humanity and grant easier access to warmth for all families of our nation, regardless of class."
