Davostag

With the mainland lost, the Kivonian regime flees to the island of Dovmark

With the battle of Fladborg coming to an end with an astonishing Hutorian victory, the leftovers of the Shadow Council and the very few troops left fled to the Island of Dovmark. This was possible with the help of the small ships - that survived the Hutorian destruction of the Kivonian navy - stationed at a harbor west of the city of Fladborg with Admiral Wilhelm Leitz in command. Thousands of dead and thousands more captured Kivonian soldiers, the fighting is now finally coming to an end, but that depends on the Kivonian government. The Shadow Council, has set up its operations in Dovmark, in the city of Sankt Erwinsburg, the city named after Saint Erwin Reinhardt, father of Dictator August Reinhardt, the Kivonian hero. Early today however, the Shadow Council member, Minister of the Republic Viktor Haninge revealed that the Counselor of the Republic Julius Callus had died during the final moments of the battle of Fladborg, his body was supposed to been transported with helicopter to the harbor west of Fladborg, but was shot down by Hutorian forces and crashed down in the ocean sinking deep. The cause of death has therefore not been clarified, however, speculations as usual has been spreading that he either died of battle wounds caused by the enemy forces, or that he was assassinated by one of their own. As no clear de facto or de jure leader exists, and that the Shadow Council only consists now of three people - General Ruprecht Brandler, Minister of the Republic Haninge and Minister of Defence Thorsten Morgentaler - it has been decided that the Council is to be dissolved and replaced by a triumvirate known as the Continuation Government, composed of General Brandler who will be the commander-in-chief of the remnant forces, Minister of the Republic Haninge who will use his position as the de facto head of government and surprisingly Admiral Wilhelm Leitz, who was chosen to assume the newly created position Rikspresident (President of the Realm) as the head of state, the latter was included to keep the moderate officers present in Dovmark in check, as Admiral Leitz is seen as a non-partisan and moderate figure respected by nearly all of the armed forces before and after the war. Admiral Leitz was also a critic of the violent tactics of Counselor Callus and was one of the few to support State Officer Cederstam's opposition to the war in 4773. Unfortunately to the moderate officers disappointment, the now Rikspresident Leitz is merely a figure head as the real power lies with Minister Haninge and General Brandler both of whom seeks to continue the war, hence the name Continuation Government.

Military officers launches a coup against the Continuation Government

Early today communications all around the city of Sankt Erwinsburg (de facto capital of the Third Republic) was disrupted and the people there could see how Kivonian soldiers put roadblocks with barbed wires on the main roads. Kivonian National Salvation Party officials were seen arrested and put into trucks to be taken to the small military installation outside the city. The soldiers had also taken control over the tv and radio stations, and had marched in to the various buildings used as government facilities, moments later arrested government ministers was seen brought out of the buildings. The soldiers then forced themselves into the temporary Office building of the President of the Realm, in there General Ruprecht Brandler, the commander-in-chief of the remnant forces, and the head of government Minister of the Republic Viktor Haninge was apprehended. In one of the tv stations, the soldiers held a brief announcement, where to everyones surprise the former State Officer of the Republic Isabella Cederstam appeared. She explained that with the help of a few moderate officers and the Telamon government been brought to the island of Dovmark, she immediately met with Rikspresident Wilhelm Leitz in secret. A few days later, she had rallied other moderate officers wanting to end the war and bring the Kivonian regime to justice, as they launched the coup very effectively with no bloodshed at all. Rikspresident Leitz had lured Minister Haninge and General Brandler to his officer right before the coup was launched. Rikspresident Leitz then decided to speak to the people as well in the tv station and announced that he had officially appointed Cederstam as State Officer once more as the new head of government for the now called Peace Council. Cederstam continued with expressing her desire to meet with the governments of Hutori and Telamon to discuss peace.

Small political group gains national attention, deems as of no concern by political analysts
-----------------------
Published 26 January 4782
-----------------------
Since the end of the Macon War, the people of Davostan has been tired and has mainly focused on resting, to rebuild and trying adjust to the current situation. Still no word has been made by Telamon concerning who they have appointed as Governor-General over the Telamonic occupation zone. The civilian administration over Davostan, known as the Civilian Advisory Assembly which is the de jure legislature, is tirelessly working with different actors concerning the rebuilding the nation. The Assembly is composed only of elected non-partisan members. No real major political movement exists, however, rumors have started to spread about a certain minor political club in the devastated city of Fladborg. This club, whose official name is the Club for the Revival of National Pride between Davostanis and Kivonians, more commonly known as the Fladborgian Club, seems to be the only active political “organization”, though not on any major nor minor threat for that matter. The club’s manifesto has been discovered and it states:

- Start a Revolution to end foreign occupation
- Form a National Convention to represent every Davostani and Kivonian
- Rebuild the Nation and form a Union Republic between the two peoples
- Nationalize every vital national industry
- Export the Revolution to Macon and nearby nations in Artania
- Build the Union Republic into a major international power
- Create a social welfare state for all Davostanis and Kivonians

Political analysts who basically have almost nothing to analyse at the moment, have taken the opportunity to discuss the small political club. Some analysts states that the club will never be able to rally people up for a revolution against the foreign powers, since the people is extremely tired and not so interested in politics any more. Other analysts have claimed that the Fladborgian Club could garner support once the occupation powers starts to pull out, and try to rally for a revolution then and claim to have been the ones to “drive out” the foreign powers. However, one source claims that the Fladborgian Club only has around 60 to 80 members, and that it has not tried to register in any local or national elections. Seeming more like a bunch of individual coming together to share and discuss their ideas.

Since the formation of the Korridorsäkerheten in 4785, the threats against civilian Davostani officials have decreased rapidly

KS officers in heavy gear during a public exercise

In November 4785, the Civilian Advisory Assembly of Davostan approved the long debated bill to form a small security agency tasked with protecting Davostani civilian officials, something normally handled by the Hutorian occupation forces. Governor-General McColeman approved the request made by the CAA to allow the formation of it as a first step towards having a independent security force for a future Davostan free of occupation. Chairman of the CAA, Georg Lundell, has stated that "a free and independent Davostan is now at the horizon". The security agency known as the Korridorsäkerheten, KS (Corridor Security) has as primary task to protect during all occasions the public civilian officials having a part in maintaining the civilian administration of the country. As planned, up to July 4786, the personnel of the KS increased to that of 300 employees, and is estimated to be at the moment up to 435 employees. The KS is at the moment the only security agency operated by the civilian administration and has therefore attracted many former soldiers of the Macon War, who are mainly of Kivonian ethnicity. The Civilian Advisory Assembly is now looking over the proposal of implementing forced quotas of having the KS be a completely assimilated agency, with both Davostanis and Kivonians in it to make sure no bias is held by the employees. The head of the agency is the Director-KS, who is suggested by the Civilian Advisor of Domestic Affairs (commonly known as Minister of Internal Affairs) to the Civilian Advisory Assembly who then decides whether to accept him/her for the position. Two weeks after the formation of the KS, Louise Seiner was appointed the first Director-KS. Seiner is a former low-ranking officer of the Third Kivonian Republic, who aided in the help to overthrow the Continuation Government in December 4777.

The Korridorsäkerheten has also organized a branch for intelligence and investigation which began its operations in March 4787. This branch simply known as KS Intelligence and Investigations (KSII). The KSII is under heavy supervision by both the Civilian Advisory Assembly and the Hutorian Occupation Authority to ensure it does not reach the same level of a security threat as the former Statens Säkerhetstjänst (State Security Service; STASÄ) of the Third Republic, or does not engage themselves in collusion with the feared organization such as hiding remnants of it. The KSII has together with its occupation supervisor created an efficient network in Davostan and the Macon continent in order to root out the threats given to both civilian and occupation officials. A specific number has not yet been confirmed, but it is speculated that up to 200 people have been arrested, all from suspicious sympathizing with National Salvationism of the former regime to directly helping the remnants of the STASÄ. This has resulted in a massive decrease in threats given to officials in all services working in Davostan.

The Civilian Advisory Assembly begins preparations for a future withdrawal of Hutorian troops
and an end of the occupation
-----------------------
16 January 4789

Chairman of the Civilian Advisory Assembly Georg Lundell

With the increasing responsibility given to the civilian administration of Davostan, the Civilian Advisory Assembly and the leading Advisors of it has began preparations for a future withdrawal of Hutorian troops and an end of the occupation. The people of Davostan has begun to become increasingly aware of the heavy presence of foreign troops, with many calling for an immediate removal of the troops. Per agreement, Hutorian presence would last for 20 years, but it is rumored that backroom negotiations took place to discuss a slow withdrawal after only 10 years. Something the politicians and bureaucrats in Kivonia seems to be using to push a narrative of independence from Hutori as 10 years is to reach in a few months. The Hutorian occupation authority together with the Korridorsäkerheten has began small exercises of new recruits who joined the agency in the absence of a military force. Leaks claims that these recruits will make up a Hutorian trained defense force for Davostan as an official military, something that helps push the idea of a Hutorian withdrawal. Chairman of the Civilian Advisory Assembly, Georg Lundell said this concerning such a withdrawal:

A end of the occupation must happen. And we of the civilian administration believe that it must happen sooner rather than later. The people of Davostan has to be able to carry the right to choose their own leaders and they should not for twenty years live under harsh foreign occupation. So the Civilian Advisory Assembly has decided that we will contact the Hutorian government concerning this issue and to see if something could be agreed upon. Thank you.

Political analysts in Davostan have now become increasingly more active as new theories are up for making. The largest speculation is over the future system of government, with some theorizing that a sort of Confederation or Federation will be established, while others believe that a Provisional Republic will be set-up until the preparations for a union is ready. Other more anti-Kivonian commentators fear a possible Fourth Kivonian Republic, and according to them, if people of Kivonian ethnicity is allowed to be part of the power structure such a Fourth Republic would be inevitable. However, something agreed on by the majority of experts is that the rapid popularity of Unionism between the Davostanis and Kivonians will with certainty decide how future governments will shape.

The small political organization known as the Fladborgian Club has in the recent months attracted many followers, mostly since the talk of a possible Hutorian withdrawal became one of the most common political topics. A sister club seems to have been founded in the city of Nyberg called the Club for the Preservation of the Revolutionary Ideals of a Union between Davostan and Kivonia and more commonly known as the Nybergian Club. It was founded after supporters of the Fladborgian Club organized a large demonstration in the city of Nyberg against the Hutorian occupiers, the demonstrators numbered up to a million people. Which after one hour turned into violence and the demonstrators was eventually cracked down upon by Hutorian occupation military police. In the midst of fighting, five people was killed and twelve injured, the Nybergian Club has proclaimed the incident as the Union Revolution, but it is popularly called the Nybergian Revolution instead.
