King diagnosed with cancer abdicates

Offical Pitcure of the king


Today after many rumors today the king today had a speech to the people where he explained about his cancer diagnosis. King Henrik was diagnosed with lung cancer last autumn. The king explained that he had not meant and kept this secret to the people but that they wanted to keep it hidden to show how serious the disease had spread. The king said it was not something we had planned and done but when I got the bucket yard now in Mars, it was another decision that had to be taken if I were to be seated or not.

The king also said that the Prime Minister had been informed all the way. He also told that both his daughters were informed about this all the way but he did not feel that they needed and depart from their respective new homeland Hutori and Lourenne.

The king also announced that in an emergency meeting with the Prime Minister early today he told him about his intention to abdicate on account of illness. The king told this with a visible sad face during his speech.

King Henrik has been Kazulia's king for almost 20 years. Now, the 76 year old king takes hold of his last days as a king.

In the press release that the palace sent out after the speech, it was announced that the king and queen moved to the royal family property in Kelvon after the crown of Crown Prince Edvard.

22nd June, 4477.

Trigunian military aircraft conducted aerial manoeuvres around Keris and the Arctic this week on a scale seldom seen since the end of the Terran War, prompting Northern Council jets to scramble and force multiple aircraft to either divert their course or return to their complement airbase. NORDIC commanders have stated that it had been tracking and monitoring Trigunian aircraft throughout the Northern Hemisphere as apart of the organisation's northern aerospace policing policy. Aircraft from Kazulia, Hutori and New Endralon were scrambled to meet Trigunian aircraft throughout the hemisphere, with the most recent incident being the diverting of strategic bombers from Arenheim. A spokesman from NORDIC stated that Trigunian strategic bombers had been approaching the EEZ of Arenheim with a predicted course set to pass straight over the island, which prompted the response from NORDIC. These heightened manoeuvres by Trigunia comes at a time where diplomatic relations between Trigunia and the Northern Council are an all time low and with Trigunia openly sponsoring dissidence within Northern Council allies, Kazulia has voiced complete condemnation for Trigunia's actions citing them as provocative and destructive to the established regional stability.

From strategic bombers to contemporary combat aircraft, the Northern Defence Integrated Command (NORDIC)'s advanced radar systems have detected more than 50 Trigunian aircraft throughout the Northern Hemisphere with a large percentile lingering around the Arctic and Southern Keris. Trigunian aggression and the nation's open willingness to disrupt the establish peace in the region has forced the Kazulian Government to label Trigunia as a "threat to regional security and stability." Kazulian Defence Minister Sigmund Simonsen described the latest incident as Trigunia "transitioning towards its post Terran war aggression." Posterior to the Great Terran War which saw the death of millions and resurgence of Trigunian aggression, Trigunia's actions on the international spectrum could easily be labelled as destructive to global peace and stability. This is easily seen as the nation supported undemocratic regimes throughout Terra and sought to sure up its dominance through influencing political decisions within its neighbours and nations which aligned themselves with the nation at the time. Many have labelled Trigunia's recent actions as Trigunia becoming increasingly aggressive.

Lieutenant General Thorleif Ramsland, Joint Commander of the Northern Defence Integrated Command stated that the radar stations built in Arenehim had proven beneficial, as it has been reported that NORDIC is currently utilising these systems to monitor the movement of Trigunian aircraft throughout the arctic region. Ramsland stated that the Trigunian strategic bombers had resorted to their post-terran war actions. After attempting to make repeated contact with the Trigunian aircraft they had not responded meaning that their transmitters were intentionally turned off. Ramsland stated that Trigunia's reckless actions as it pertains to the conduct of its combatant aircraft in the Northern Hemisphere isn't befitting of a nation that purports to be a "responsible power." The Trigunian Government is currently in talks with the Vanukean Government on reaffirming diplomatic ties with the Trigunian President openly citing the Northern Council as aggressive however, with the nation's latest actions this sentiment is becoming increasingly hypocritical on the part of the Trigunian Government.

GCC investigates Trigunian misinformation campaign
Trigunia "blurring boundaries between criminal activity and state activitiy" - GCC Director

Gun-Britt Jacobsson, Director-General of the Government Communications Centre.
22nd June, 4477.

Government Communications Centre Director-General Gun-Britt Jacobsson lauded the agency's work against cybernetic hacking from several international entities whilst warning of the increasing threat posed by entities operating within the blurred criminal/state boundaries of the Trigunian Federation. Jacobsson stated that within the period of 4475 and 4477, the Government Communications Centre had prevented around 105 cybernetic attacks from various hacktivist groups operating from within various nations with a small percentile of the aforementioned number coming from state entities from nations such as Medina and Istalpi. The Government Communications Centre is the state agency responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, specialising in a discipline known as signals intelligence. The agency is the foremost signals intelligence agency in the world, with centuries of experience against cybernetic attacks underneath its belt. The agency had been running a long and enduring campaign against dark web activities including child pornography, terrorism and money laundering. Director-General Jacobsson spoke before members of the media at the agency's headquarters in Honningvanger on the agency's work against malicious activities on the dark web.
Director-General Gun-Britt Jacobsson wrote:The GCC in collaboration with state entities including the National Police Service and Department of Domestic Affairs had launched an investigation into illegal dark web activity circumventing throughout Kazulia. Our efforts have been focused on illegal/illicit activities such as illegal slave trade, terrorism and low-level hacking. Our investigation, although still under way has produced extraordinary results with warrants being issued to perpetrators through Kazulia under the banner of the National Police Service and the Department of Domestic Affairs. Our actions are ethics based (by the books), as we have obtained the warrant of surveillance as establish underneath the Surveillance and Data Collection Act and the Counter-Terrorism Act.

Jacobsson spoke of the recent misinformation campaign being run by the Trigunian "hacktivist" group known as Blackout. The group has, according to low-level analysts meddled with search engine algorithms, ridding them of their political neutrality. Internet users have complained other extremist political views being circumvented throughout the internet, specifically through Kazulian search engines. Korsmo, Kazulia's largest search engine platform whose services include online advertising solutions and cloud computing has stated that the company had been working to rectify the issue. Jacobsson stated that the group operates between the blurred boundaries of criminal and state activity, and through its illegitimate actions it is becoming increasingly problematic for search engine companies. Jacobsson stated that more had to be done by companies such as Korsmo and Decima to ensure that their systems are encrypted and safe-guarded from cybernetic breaches.

Jacobsson stated that the GCC would be investigating into the situation and will be working with the search engine companies from across Kazulia, Dorvik, Lourenne and Hutori. She stated that the tactics used by the agency against terrorist organisations could be used on Blackout however, she stressed on the certainty of an overwhelming asymmetrical response from the agency. Industrial-scale misinformation to sway public opinion is the game for Blackout. The Trigunian Government recently tightened its grip on media within the nation, citing the move as "protecting the Trigunian population from misinformation." Jacobsson stated that the Trigunian government's use of the phrase "protecting the Trigunian population from misinformation" can be easily used as a legislative magic wand, enabling the state to control the movement of information and potentially suppress freedom of speech. She labelled the government's crackdown on "anti-government media" as an attempt to suppress freedom of speech through labelling non-aligned media outlets as "anti-government outlets." The GCC intends on lobbying the Department of Domestic Affairs for warrants of surveillance to investigate into Trigunian search engine tools being used within Kazulia, Trigunian "troll" sites and Trigunian media outlets operating within Kazulia which overt anti-Kazulian rhetoric. "There is a clear correlation between anti-Kazulian rhetoric and the actions being committed by Blackout on behalf of clandestine entities."

Far-right Hent nationalists hold march in Verdalheim
Frankenstein admits that independence "could be a possible solution", does not deny ties with organizers of the demonstration

Image
Nationalist protestors gathering around the statue of poet Ebenhard Kogler in Verdalheim.

It has been confirmed that the ultranationalist, secessionist organization "Frihed fyr Hent" held an extensive rally last night, disseminating what journalists are calling "very clear messages" about "their regional, cultural and political identity". The march, which stayed "surprisingly peaceful", with only a small portion of the protestors covering their faces with masks or scarves, passed through several major streets before reaching the statue of famous Verdalheim-born poet Ebenhard Kogler, who was notable for his socially conservative attitudes.

During the march, the protestors cried for an independence referendum to be "commenced immediately, as the Hentian people demand", singing the controversial patriotic song Søndrens Vitt Land (White Land of the South). Orators also called for "death to all pederasts", demanding that the death sentences of more than 60 murderers, rapists and child abusers, which have been nullified and transformed into life imprisonment as a newly-passed federal ban on the death penalty broke provincial law several years ago, are reinstated and carried out.

According to politologist Johan-Peter Olafsen, it is "not the first time that reactionaries attempt separation" - and yet, the "fierceness and vehemency" of the protests is unique in Kazulian history. The National Purity Congress has stayed the strongest power in Hent since its inception, dominating the province, which traditionally votes for the most right-wing party that exists on the Kazulian political spectrum.

Theodor Lynden Frankenstein, the leader of the party, and Gustav Sklenger, NPC member and former governor who is currently under investigation for "a major case of corruption", have admitted that they "not only tolerate but also welcome" the actions of the FFH and that "cooperation between our two organizations, possibly even resulting in future independence for Hent, is a solution". In their press statement, they have officially broken the NPC's past line of denying allegiation with any regionalist and secessionist movements.

As the general political spectrum of Kazulia slowly shifts towards centrist conservatism and more moderate right-wing parties such as De Nasjonale Konservative begin drawing former NPC voters, the party has to "re-orient itself towards more extreme clients, including those who refuse to acknowledge the Kazulian government entirely", Olafsen says: "this of course results in more drastic statements, decisions and measures and a slow and steady rendezvous with the class of right-wing political outcasts, secessionist movements, convinced conspiracy theorists and even outright criminals that even the National Purity Congress ostracized until a few months ago".

New Political Alliance Forms Strong Centre-Right Government
Recent Centre-right coalition government formed, vows to exclude extremist ideological influences from politics
Image
The logo of the new political alliance, signifying a potentially new, long-lasting era of strong centre-right governance
22nd September, 4485.

The centre-right 'Alliansen' won a crushing victory in the national election of 4485 in July, securing nearly 89% of the Storting seats; now two months later and in a few weeks Kazulmark has a new government with TP's party leader Kristen Nordness as prime minister, the latter also proudly proclaiming itself as the largest party in the Storting.

The victory was great among alliance parties when the election results were clear in July. Representatives from the youth federations of the 'Alliansen' parties celebrated their victory by dipping in the fountain of the Grand square in central Skalm. DNK's Einar Hermansson explained why he thought the 'alliansen' wrote history in July:

"We must remember that this is a completely historic achievement. We have won over a seated government in a reasonably strong economy. For the first time in several decades, we have been able to establish a foundation for a proper and sensible majority government in Kazulmark", he said adding further that, "the Nazis are no longer in a position to try to spread their toxic influence on our beautiful Kazulia and destroy the great accomplishments our forefathers made; the Alliance vows to never let extremist ideologies on either side of the spectrum push their agendas through, and instead promote ours to maintain Kazulia as she is and make her even better than it was before."

History, Aims and Policies of the Alliance
Due to Kazulian politics had been dominated by the Social Democratic Party for several decades, as well as the democratic way of life coming under threat by the ultra-right wing Nationalrejnhedskongress, the centre-right parties of Kazulmark including Höyre, De Liberale Konservative, De Nasjonale Konservative and Det Teknokratiska Partiet, decided that this was partly because they did not present a clear and viable alternative government. At a meeting held in the DNK party leader Einar Hermansson's home, the four party party leaders, including DLK's Alexander Knivedalen, Høyre's Odd Swenhaugen and TP's Kristen Nordness decided to form an alliance. The meeting ended on 31 August 4483 with the presentation of a joint declaration outlining the principles under which the four parties intended to fight the election. A year later a similar meeting was held at the DNK party leader's home, resulting in the affirmation of the alliance and another declaration.

In order to do this, the member parties decided to issue common policy statements and to have a joint election manifesto. Each individual party still had its own manifesto and policies, but these will build up from common proposals in the Alliance's joint proposals. The Alliance has policy working groups for six main areas: economic policy, education policy, foreign policy, the welfare state, employment and business policy, and policing. These were not set according to party size, but with one senior politician (often MP) and one staff per party, and following the idea that "everybody contributes and everybody gains".

"Teen military camp" busted in southern Hent
NPC becomes more and more extremist as its influence crumbles, say politologists

Image
An alleged picture of the "military-patriotic summer camp" organized by a NPC-backed organization

It has been confirmed by the Hent Fylke Police that a paramilitary camp for boys aged twelve through sixteen has been busted in the Storskogen Forest range near Verdalheim, the capital of Hent. Municipal police chief Colonel Kristjan Hansen reported that the children, whose parents all reportedly were party members of the National Purity Congress, were not only taught to "shoot" and move using mockups of submachine guns but also received classes in "far-right political agitation" and experienced "other forms of brainwashing".

Thorwald N., the organizer of the camp and self-proclaimed "Soldier for the Purity of Hent", is also the leader of the secessionist movement Frihed fyr Hent. Currently under arrest, he has denied any connections with Theodor Lynden Frankenstein, whose personal friend he is alleged to be, in front of the hearing judge. N. refuses to accept the sovereignity of the Kingdom of Kazulmark on the Fylke of Hent and the southwestern part of Kelvon, demanding for an "Independent National Republic" to be formed.

Frankenstein and former Hent governor Sklenger, who are currently under investigation for numerous cases of corruption and extremist propaganda dissemination and agitation, have departed to an unnamed location in billionaire Frankenstein's private jet earlier today according to an anonymous tip. Politologists and journalists have already expressed great alarm at this - it is said that Frankenstein and his "leadership clique" is "fleeing from the responsibility" over a political party which is currently disintegrating into what more and more scholars call a "violent extremist organization that is being pushed off the edge of society". The National Purity Congress has lost a majority of its seats in the last election, only maintaining a strong presente in the Fylketinget of Kelvon. It is the first time in the decade that Hent, which is known for its "fascistoid turnout tendencies", did not allow the NPC to win.

It is widely acknowledged that a "circuit of extremization" is forcing the National Purity Congress to appeal to more and more reactionary groups as it loses votes among the mainstream conservative population, resulting in even-larger numbers of (former) members and voters turning away in disgust. The rhetoric of the Congress's leadership reflects this development - last week, Frankenstein openly called for all women who abort to "be killed slowly and painfully, as they deserve".


Woman who aborted lynched by religious extremists
Connections with National Purity Council are "possible", Skalm Police Chief says

Last night, an "unnamed woman" residing alone in a small apartment in the eastern districts of capital Skalm who was known to have aborted her pregnancy due to "purely financial reasons" was lynched by a group of twelve far-right religious extremists on the street, on the way home from her cashier job at a local late-night supermarket. Skalm police superintendent General Benedict Jakobsen has damned the murder as a "heinous and barbaric act" and declared that "everything will be done to find those who committed it as quickly as possible".

The murder, which was recorded by an outdoor security camera of a bank, was carried out by the means of "necklacing" - the woman, who was assaulted from behind, had a car tire put onto her neck, covered in gasoline and lit on fire, resulting in painful death by burns and asphyxiation. The attackers, who have not been identified yet, wore black clothes and covered their faces with balclavas and scarves. A note confirming their membership in the "Brotherhood of Blood", a fascist fundamentalist sect that arose from the quickly-detorioated "Kazulian National Church" proclaimed by the National Purity Council yet purged quickly thereafter after prominent members of its "clergy" expressed views that were too inappropriate even for the NPC at the time, was left among the ashes of the victim.

Jakobsen confirmed that "new, or preserved secret connections with the National Purity Council are not only viable but probable, to a certain point". Frankenstein, the "General Chairman" of the crumbling party, demanded for women who perform abortions to be killed in a tirade speech last week. He and his closest affiliates have left Kazulia for an unknown location earlier today.

The National Police is currently exploring the possibility of seizing Frankenstein's property, shall he not agree to return to the country, where multiple civil and criminal investigations are currently running against him.

We will keep you updated with details on this crime. Stay tuned!

The Department of Justice sends out a International Arrest warrant for Theodor Lynden Frankenstein
Image
Justice Minister Marie Nilsen announcing the arrest warrant in a extra ordinary session of Stortinget

Justice Minister Marie Nilsen today spoke to the Storting about the government's inquiry to send out an international arrest warrant for Theodor Lynden Frankenstein, but also against other NPC leaders.

Nilsen said:

Enough! NPC and Lynden Frankenstein have terrorized our country for a long time, I have stood confessed and awaited their fall as finally happened. They have ordered killing of innocent people, including the poor in prison in the Retrieval of a few years ago, were suddenly executed. And now a lady who was killed because she pulled an abortion that is her choice to take no one else's.

We have today informed the king about the government's decision to arrest NPC members but also to send out an international arrest warrant addressed to Lynden Frankenstein and the other NPC leaders who fled out of the country today.

We have frozen all Lynden Frankstein's assets.

With the recent events of teen military camps and lynching in Kazulian Capital Skalm, Foreign Affairs Minister Viola Margrethe and Minister Of Defence Halldor Jørg have decided to use Kazulian Police and Kazulian Armed Force for control and terrorist suppresion in the region of Hent.

Viola Magrethe and Halldor Jørg have announced that they have already started arresting alleged Terrorists and have infiltrated the Terrorist Network which lead to over 50 arrests these past weeks.

There were several riots calling for independence for Hent in Sarpsfjord and Koperhalsen but with the help of the police forces from other Fylke, the riots were quickly dispersed and lead to the arrest of 7 individuals who are being charged with assault and vandalism.

Experts predict that the riots have a high chance of becoming larger and violent and could even lead to a Civil war.
