WAR REPORT: NATIONALIST OFFENSIVE NORTH

Rumors of Nationalist offensive have been confirmed as Nationalist forces have begun offensive into Tiralouse. Attacks are happening along east coast, where many Indralan communities are located. Nationalists have given statement regarding the new offensive.

Following months and years of preparations our great army is prepared to defeat foreign anti-patriotic government in Tiralle. Our victorious army will not stop until all Republican traitors have been banished from Rildanor and until Socialist menace is not bombed into ashes.

On already captured territory there are unconfirmed reports and rumors of war crimes and genocide by Nationalists against Indralans. Indralans are biggest minority in Rildanor, located mainly on eastern mainland coast and on island of Montpellier. most of current Indralans are descendants of those who have found themselves in Rildanor mainly as refugees. With the offensive, missile and rocket attacks against Republican cities and areas have severly increased. For now it appears that Nationalists war machine is unstoppable.

WAR REPORT: NATIONALISTS REACH SUBURBS OF TIRALLE

Following half a year of offensive by Nationalists, it can be said that offensive is unprecedented success. Several reports have been confirmed of fighting in suburbs of Tiralle. Republican government appears to be severely distressed and has given orders regarding next course of action.

Illegitimate Nationalist government is currently attacking city of Tiralle. All foreign citizens are heavily encouraged to leave the city, this includes embassies and consulates. Any citizen of Rildanor between ages of 16 and 65 must report to nearest recruitment center. Remain calm and leave all communication devices turned on. Anyone collaborating with enemy will be judged under martial law.

It is possible that in next coming months Republican government will completely collapse. If this were the case, it is very propable that Nationalists would occupy entirety of mainland, and could possibly win the civil war.

Socialists have stated that they offered aid to Republicana, however the Republican leadership has rejected the offer, saying they do not want to ally with "Syndicalist traitors"

WAR REPORT: CHANGE IN REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP

You can listen to our audio edition here

In the broadcast speech, Édouard Duvegner announced his resignation and retirement. Duvegner has been President of the National Administration Committee since July 5283, and it was under his leadership that Rildanor descended into civil war.

Reportedly he has resigned due to pressure from younger members of the government, this is possible as his successor Jean-Baptiste Malet is known to be the leader of the government's younger members, and has proceeded to disband and replace Duvegner's cabinet with younger members.

Malet has been a rising star in both Thévanet's and Duvegner's administration and was one of the few members of FRN-Gauche who have decided to side with Republicans. He is one of the youngest leaders of Rildanor, born in 5262, he is mere 33 years old.

As Malet was 17 at the time of the March Coup, he has not participated in it and has not helped to overthrow the Syndicalist government. Due to this, unlike Duvegner's old guard, he states that he is willing to ally with the Socialists. Such alliance could change the entire course of the war, as Socialist aid could help relieve Tiralle which is currently under attack.

WAR REPORT: SOCIALISTS AND REPUBLICANS FORM ALLIANCE

Following 3 years of stalemate in northern Rildanor and successful minor Republican counteroffensives, President of NAC Jean-Baptiste Malet has announced that secret negotiations between Socialists and Republicans were successful and Socialists will aid Republicans.

This change will certainly accelerate the change in the course of the war. There are already reports that Nationalists have begun to lose ground due to a lack of supplies, morale and popular support. Even in the centre of Nationalists, Sirdour, there are reports of large riots and rallies. However, reports of unrest are unconfirmed due to mass censorship committed by Nationalists.

Even before the negotiations there was extensive international support for coalition between Republicans and Socialists, mainly by Trigunia and Sekowo. However Duvegner's administration refused to negotiate as Duvegner and most of his cabinet directly or indirectly participated in March Coup against Syndicalist Regime, which Socialists claim to be heirs of.

WAR REPORT: NATIONALIST FRONTLINES CRUMBLE

Despite that it has been over 2 years since formation of Republican-Socialist alliance, which has became informally known as Unionists, it has taken until now for Unionist forces to begin successful offensive. Reports have been confirmed that Nationalist forces have begun to withdraw from Tiralouse and Boudigaux.

Part of the force is reported to retreat to Nationalist stronghold of Sirdour where they will take part of quelling unrest and anti-partisan operations. Other part of the force will probably try to resupply and reorganise to ensure their fighting capabilities. Experts from across the Terra estimate that under 3 years the Nationalist regime could crumble and Unionist forces proclaim victory, however how this post-war order will look remains to be seen.

WAR REPORT: PEACE IN RILDANOR?

For past few months Unionist forces have continuously and sucesfully pushing Nationalists out of regions of Tiralouse, Boudigaux and Morbanaque. This victories were achieved thanks to high morale of Unionist troops but mainly due to bad logistics, morale,and tactical decisions of Nationalist troops and high command. Following these victories massive amounts of Nationalists have begun to defect and surrender.

Despite heavy censorship news of this have reached Sirdour where public morale and support for Nationalist regime have absolutely collapsed. With large popular support anti-Nationalist resistance movement known as Democratic Action Committee has proceeded to march on Nationalist leadership and promptly execute all members of Nationalist Directore. Unionist leadership has denounced the execution but despite that declared that they have already successfully negotiated capitulation of Nationalist forces with DAC.

Limited fighting still continues in countryside after exactly decade of war people of Rildanor can enjoy relative peace. To celebrate this development redaction of La Republique will move back to Tiralle.

TREATY ON REUNIFICATION OF RILDANOR NEGOTIATED AND RATIFIED


Treaty on Reunification of Rildanor was neogtiated and signed in Tiralle in March 5302. The treaty replaces New Commune of Rildanor and Republic of Rildanor by reunified Union of Rildanor, which controls all pre-war Rildanorian territory. It estabilishes so called Consitutional Government, which is type of provsional government with severly limited power whose task, along with Constitutional Assembly, it is to write and approve premament consitution. In interim Consitutional Assembly will act as provisonal legislature, however any motions and laws must be approved with 60% of the vote instead of just 50%.

This treaty will officially end the civil war which was started in 5291 between Nationalists, Socialists and Republicans. In 5298 Socialists and Republicans have merged into Unionists and in 5301 they have after decade of fighting defeated Nationalists. As part of alliance agreement Socialists and Republicans have begun to immediately negotiate reunification treaty. However negotiations for permanent constitution seemed impossible within timeframe needed to reunify Rildanor, and for this reason the treaty established frameworks to work out permanent constitution, while keeping Rildanor unified.

The treaty is composed 2 sections, section 1 established workings of Constitutional Government and Constitutional Assembly and will also act as provisional Constitution, meanwhile section 2 allows Trigunia and Lourenne to station up to 2 500 military personnel each, and establishes that World Congress Humanitarian Mission in Rildanor can be recalled only if motion to do so gains more than 60% votes in Constitutional Assembly or it's successor legislature or if World Congress Security Council votes to recall the mission.

The treaty was signed by President of NAC thus ratifying the treaty, meanwhile representatives of Trigunia and Lourenne have agreed to propose vote to ratify the treaty in their respective legislatures. The treaty was mainly drafted by Socialists and Republicans, however both Lourenne and Trigunia, and several NGOs have helped with the creation.

Malet and Charbonnier have co-released statement on their plan of progress towards constitution. One of the key points was intense cooperation with humanitarian and non-government organisations. Other important point is transparency, and Malet And Charbonnier have vowed that report regarding the constitution will be released to public every 6 months. According to the statement recordings from all meetings of Constitutional Assembly regarding the constitution will be also made public after 1 month.

However there are several challenges to this plan. Most important of them are some deep ideological differences between Socialists and Republicans, such as policy on powers of President, or policy on autonomy of regions. Despite these challenges there however is opportunity to establish proper democracy for first time in centuries, and by doing so change future of Rildanor for at least 2 centuries.

It remains to be yet seen if the treaty will be yet another failure or sucess which will shine for centuries, however hopes of public, and even redaction of La Republique are at all times high.

FUTURE OF CANRILLAISE LANGUAGE IN RILDANOR


Debate has broken out in Constitutional Assembly and wide public over possibility of abolishment of Canrillaise as official language. This option was first time presented by Anarchist Association of Rildanor, and despite their radical tendencies, did caught on as several Socialists begun debate over this possibility in Constitutional Assembly.

Most of Republicans have come out in support of retaining Canrillaise. Key argument they is that such endeavour would significantly hurt pan-Canrillaise effort. It also could hurt effective communication within government as most of bureaucrats do not speak languages other than Canrillaise and sometimes Luthorian. Some also fear that unity within Rildanor could be lowered due to spread of other languages, which would hurt communication of people from different communities.

Meanwhile supporters of the proposal, who are mainly Socialists, argue that lack of official language will help against discrimination and inequality of linguistic minorities in Rildanor. It also could help to attract new people to country by being inclusive, and thus gaining more manpower for reconstruction.

While the cultural aspects are significant, experts have also presented possible consequences on the public life and workings of government. The main impact would be on education. Under Socialist proposal Canrillaise would be educated as either first or second language, thus means that in minority dominated areas minority language could be taught as first, and Canrillaise as second. Under the proposal all government employees would have to know Canrillaise and at leas one other language spoken in Rildanor, or Luthorian. In minority dominated areas government employees would have to know both local language and Canrillaise. According to Socialists this will greatly help parcipitation and representation of minorities, who will then be more willing to help in reconstruction efforts.

Both sides have acknowledged need to balance needs of minorities and need for social cohesion. Socialists have proposed program under which government grants to schools who take part of multicultural exchange and programs and who support multilingualism. Employers who have diverse hiring policies would also be given government grants.

The proposal has gained large popularity among both Rildanorians and minorities. Several organisations such as Rildanorian Minority Association or Indralan-Canrillaise Organisation have supported the motion, and plan to start programs for support of multilingualism. Opposing the idea are more conservative citizens and organisations such as Jean-Michel de Rouvre and his De Rouvre Institute, or Rildanorian Cultural Society. These persons and organisations claim that Canrillaise is integral part of Rildanor and it's culture and it needs to be protected and retained.

No matter the outcome of the vote, the debate shows new divisions arising between "Federalists" and "Centralists", division which could replace current Republican and Socialist divide. Federalists are mainly composed of Socialists and support the language reform, however some Republicans, mainly Liberals and even Libertarians, are also considered as part of them. Meanwhile most of Republicans have banded around Centralists, supporting strong central government and cultural unity. However some more authoritarian parts of Socialists such as Metztists-Leonists or National Syndicalists have also supportee Centralists.

In conclusion language reform could decide if Rildanor ventures into 54th century as proper progressive nation, or homogeneous pillar of Canrillaise culture.

NEW CONSTITUTION EXPECTED TO BE APPROVED


Following 5 years of provisional Constitutional Government final proposal for new Constitution is to be voted on. Constitutional Government was established in 5302 with purpose to write new constitution. Following several proposals it seems that final proposal will be accepted as both Valentine Charbonnier and Jean-Baptiste Malet have supported it. Trigunian and Lourennian representatives have also stated they won't oppose the constitution. However despite this there is some resistance from radicals such as monarchists or Metztists-Leonists, however the resistance doesn't have large enough support to be actual problem.

The overall sounding or the constitution is quite progressive with emphasis on human rights, minority representation, and democratic process. Unlike previous proposals the final version does not include proposed Military Sector of Sirdour or Autonomous Sector of Montpellier, as it was considered to be favouritist and anti-democratic by majority of representatives. According to the constitution Union President will become head of state and government for term of 42 months, meanwhile Union Assembly will become proper legislature.

Constitution has found wide support among both Constitutional Assembly and wide populace, as both Republicans and Socialists, and several other organisations such as Rildanorian Minority Association, or Democratic Action. However it is opposed by National Cultural Society or De Rouvre Institute, who have said it is too progressive, but won't spend significant effort to campaign against it. Meanwhile the wide population when asked have mostly supported it, some excerpts include statements such as "Finally we will have proper government", "It is good our country is getting modern progressive constitution", but also "Indralans will now rule over true Canrillaise!"

The vote is expected to happen within coming months and if the constitution is approved by more than 60% of the vote referendum will be organised in following months. Over 38 representatives, including Trigunians and Lourennaise have already clearly stated that they will support the constitution.

The referendum is also expected to succeed as polls show over 68% of people are in support of it. In regional polls the least support Sector is Sirdour where only 38% support it. The referendum is also expected to lose in Morbanaque. Most supporters are in Montpellier, where over 83% support it.

If the constitution is passed it will end the provisional Constitutional Government which has governed the country for around 4 years. Most importantly many policies to represent minorities will be implemented. It also reaffirms Rildanors democratic institutions, and will give larger autonomy to regions, even giving them right to secede under certain circumstances.

Overall constitution could be massive success for Rildanor and first of many steps towards Reconstruction. As due to the abolishment of provisional government and it's limited powers both Union government and Sector governments will have means to start proper Reconstruction.
