Kalopian Slaves Returnedby Andrej KováčApril 3521 - With the improvement of relations between Holy Deltaria and the Central Majatran Federative Democratic Republic after the fall of the clerical government, Deltaria agreed to
repatriate all slaves bought from Kalopia-Wantuni during the Wantuni Hegemony regime. For a long time, the two states shared borders and also shared the practice of slavery, resulting in hundreds of thousands of slaves from the Wantuni Hegemony being brought into Deltaria, most of them ethnic Kalopians, thus contributing to the Kalopian genocide. Slavery became legal in Kalopia-Wantuni in 3419, during the rule of
the Helioclids, and the practice survived all regime changes in the lands to our east. Until the establishment of the Central Majatran Federative Democratic Republic, Kalopia-Wantuni was the headquarters of the
Eilomax Company, the largest slaving corporation on Terra.

In exchange for these concessions, all former leaders of the Wantuni Hegemony that resided in Deltaria were arrested and sent to Kalopia-Wantuni, where they will face trial for their crimes.
Religious Freedom for Deltarians The Czar, in His endless mercy, has decided that Deltarians that do not belong to the Holy Mother Church ought not be hindered from their loyalty and dedication to their Father. The Deltarian Veche is currently voting on a
charter that will allow Yeudis, Ahmadites, and cat worshipers some degree of religious freedom. The heathens belonging to those faiths can no longer be compelled to change their faith, can freely serve in public office, and are exempt from the payment of the tithe to the Terran Patriarchal Church. Thankfully, the charter does not go too far, and believers in all other heresies and impious beliefs continue to face persecution. The government will also grant recognition equal to our holy marriages to those acts of fornication that Ahmadites call marriage.
"Young Priests Lack Discipline", says Church elderFather Kornel Blaha's claim that the clerics defeated the government and Father Djaanfari's continued defiance of eartly hierarchy and authority are but a symptom of the decline of Church spirituality, claims Elder Paisie, a famed starets from the Abbey of the Blessed Virgin Sarah in Sfânta Cruce.
Back in the old days, there was respect and deference for authority. Now, these new young priests that come along, especially since that Utemban lad got in the Veche, they have no respect for anything. When the rightful authorities are being justly harsh in their dealing of authority, these priests come and say that "human rights",or however they call those these days, are being abused. When the earthly powers are being merciful and forgiving, these young clergymen start saying that the Church defeated government, as if there were such a conflict in Holy Deltaria.Elder Paisie, expressing his dissapointment in the younger generation of priestsSaridan Blockades DeltariaThe barbarian nation of Saridan recently came under the rule of a number of unwashed primitives, who, led astray by their absurd heresies, oppose all forms of technology. For some reason, the Saridani barbarians believe that Deltaria actually cares what happens in their backwater nation, or what vegetables they grow there. In a recent move, the polygamous heretical government of Saridan placed Holy Deltaria under a trade embargo, thereby depriving us of Saridani sweatmelons and balsa wood.

After heaving threatened Deltaria and the rest of the continent including at the Council of Majatra, the Jelbeks are amassing their horses at our border. While Deltaria does not consider Jelbania to be a legitimate threat, the Minister of War has nevertheless been authorized to mobilize and deploy our armed forces across the border with Jelbania, just in case they really are as foolish as they let themselves appear.
