TWO DEAD IN NATIONALIST VIOLENCE AT FOOTBALL GAME
- First leg of Artanian Cup tie abandoned amidst ethnic and political rioting
- 2 dead and up to 300 injured
- UAFA likely to ban both clubs indefinitely from continental competition

Dynamo Red Stad fans battle with Imperial Commonwealth police during the first-leg of the Dynamo Red Stad - Royale tie of the Artanian Cup.

WHEN THE DRAW was made, it was a relishing prospect: two legs of a match between F.C. Dynamo Red Stad and F.C. Royale. The two passionately-supported clubs were once locked in the bitterest of rivalries, but centuries of bloodshed has relegated the fixture to the history books. So when the Artanian Cup last-16 draw was made, the hype surrounding the game was understandable. But less than 15 minutes had been played at the Rotstadiam in Red Stad when the referee abandoned the game, as spectators from both sides spilled onto the field to attack one another. 2 fans were killed in the day-long violence that followed.

The match had already been marred by racial chanting from both sides, referring to past conflicts between the mainlanders and the islander peoples, in particular the Narik Wars, a war with casualties on a genocidal scale that the country is even now still struggling to recover from. Imperial and Republican flags were seen among the crowd, up to 90,000 of whom packed onto the terraces on the night. However, it was when missiles were thrown following some particularly unsavoury chanting, that the ground became a battleground.

Red Stad police struggled to contain the viscous fighting, and it was only when army units from the nearby barracks were deployed was the stadium cleared. Fighting continued around the ground and in the streets of Red Stad, as up to 20,000 Royale fans who had travelled for the game, battled it out with their ancient rivals. Two Royale fans were killed when machete-wielding Dynamo supporters attacked them in a side-street. Jan Reete, 21, and Clive Gaaden, 20, had been involved in the fighting, but tried to flee when they were outnumbered. They were chased down and murdered. Their attackers have yet to be caught.

Dynamo Red Stad, last years champions of the Darnussian First Division, are traditionally the team of Darnussia's republican unionist left, in stark contrast to Narikatonite Premier League champions Royale's passionately royalist and Narikatonite fans. Dynamo fans see their team as the beacon of the working-class and the oppressed, and has long been an attraction for left-wingers. Royale meanwhile are fiercely proud of their imperialism and Narikatonite nationalism. Following the Narik Wars and when the country was split in two, the teams could no longer play each other domestically. This was the first time they had been drawn against each other in continental competition.

Imperial Power Party rises again

The infamous Imperial Power Party, who has been closed and dissolved for over a millenium has revived to secure strong leadership and progress in Darnussia. The leadership of IPP centres around what seems to be an illegitimate son of His Majesty King Willem

The Imperial Power Party is previously known for entering the Darnussian political scene over 1000 years ago focusing on a relilgious platform derived from the ancient Hobrazian religion Hobaism and close contacts with the former hobrazian government. Seeking aid from their close allies to rebuild Darnussia from a economical deficti together with several invasions and a civil war that left the nation in ruins, resulted in the creation of Hobrazian protectorate sending military and economical advisors to help Darnussia. Also several Hobrazians immigrated to Darnussia to assist our nation in its attempt to rebuild.

Their Leader, who calls himself Crownprince Markus, proclaims that the IPP no longer sees Darnussia as a nation that needs to be submissive to others. Instead Darnussia must reclaim an international role as a strong and united nation. In a speech at the partys reopening committee he said:

Darnussia is as strong as ever. For over a thousand years ago our party was needed as our lands were burned and our people were suffering. We needed outside assistance and our party led the way, it was difficult but neccesary. Now Darnussia has a platform for progress and unity. But there is three problems we will adress today. Three problems that stands between the people and a internationally respected and strong Darnussia. And i'll tell you what: First we have the political laziness and corruption. This nations legislators is paid to do nothing. Every candidate receives public funding, yet no proposal has reached the floor in the Rijksdag since May 3612. Its been over 22 years. Need I say more? We litteraly need to throw these parasites out of the Rijksdag and reinstate a proper legislation. And its time to do so in the upcoming election. Second, it no longer makes any sense to have a divided nation. We have for long had a joint commonwealth. This has been a step in the rigth direction. But unity has not come closer. Therefore this nation, the Darnussian nation, with all its regions, old kingdoms and empires, needs to unite behind a strong empire. Not a divided empire, but a unity empire who will lead this nation into success. This brings me to the last problem we have. As long as the sitting rulers, including my father, King Willem, is still in charge of this nation. We will go nowhere. Several years of incompetence has shown us that. Let the upcoming election be a symbolic action that questions the ability of the current rulers. Will you, the people, support humility, stagnation, laziness and corruption or will you support IPP and progress?
And finally. We still seeks good connections with the Hobrazians, but we will no longer succumb to their rule. Instead we should work together as equals and make our voice heard in Artania and in the world. The Imperial Power Party is back to create a strong and united Darnussian Empire and we will not fail the Darnussian people in our pursuit for a great and proud nation.

Crownprince Markus later gave interviews about his party and their political platform against laziness and corruption in the Rijksdag. His words is extremely well received by the people on the streets according to our initial responses. Whether the people is tired of the old regime, a divided nation and an old king waits to be seen in the upcoming election. But there is no doubt, if the IPP reenters the political scene, dramatic changes will be seen again in Darnussia.

The recent revival of the Imperial Power Party has shaken the political establishment quite hard and the upcoming election will be a test on the peoples will. Will it be the same as usual or will the ballot turn out demanding change to our nations structure?

Our early predictions show that IPP will storm into the Rijksdag. The other parties will risk a blow of another dimension in this election. Will they survive at all and can they make a comeback attack on IPP and the proclaimed Crownprince Markus?

It waits to be seen. We will keep you updated as things develop and the election results comes in.

Imperial Power Party seizes power. Absolutely majority. The People has spoken

The Imperial Power Party has received a massive support in the december election. The Party kicked out all other parties from the Rijksdag and now has totally control over the legislature. What does the government do?

Image
The selfproclaimed Crownprince Markus arrives at the IPP party following the excellent and overturning election

The selfproclaimed Crownprince Markus and his Imperial Power Party entered the election scene after a millenium outside politics and the people seemed to like it. The agenda against his father King Willem, the governmental and parliamentary corruption and laziness in the Rijksdag together with the ambition of playing a bigger role in international politics was apparently enough to secure absolute majority in the Rijksdag for the IPP.

The next question is, will the party be ready for such massive progress and power? Also, what will the government now do? The election result is a massive blow for the established parties and the government must feel this as a distrust in their regime. Also King Willem was made a question in this election with Crownprince Markus demanding an abdication if IPP secured enough mandates. The people has spoken, now its up to the government and King Willem what happens next.

We have received this statement from Crownprince Markus:

We thank the people for trusting such a new, yet traditionel party. We will nok fail you, we will not fail Darnussia. The result is amazing and we could only have hoped for such great support. It shows that this election is a signal to the corrupt politicians that their way of life is no longer tolerated. The people has chosen another direction to follow. And we will lead them. We have prepared for this moment, and immediately begin our work in the Rijksdag. We demand the abdication of King Willem abdicate and that the government give over the offices to more capable powers. We are ready to lead this nation into glory and unity. We will start tomorrow and our first drafts for the restructuring of this nation is already on the way. For the people. For Darnussia.


We have made attempts to get a response from the Kanzler, but counldn't reach him. Also the administration of King Willem refuses to respond to our calls. What will happen only time will tell. We will keep you updated as things evolve. Stay tuned.

New Darnussian Government installed

As the old government of Darnussia with representatives from the United Patriot Party and the Caesar Party didn't willingly step down from office, the Rijksdag consisting of only one party, the Imperial Power Party, put forward an alternate cabinet proposal to, by peacefull and democratic means, to change the leaders of the Imperial Commonwealth. The proposal was accepted, which is obviously, as those voting belongs to only the IPP, thus forcing the sitting Kanzler and his government to withdraw from their positions.

Image
Crownprince Markus at his IPP office. Not a part of the new government, is he the new king?

Instead the nation now have a government consisting only of delegates from the Imperial Power Party, with Kanzler Michale Bakkel in front. Surprisingly there was no room for the IPP partyleader, the selfproclaimed Crownprince Markus, in the new government. Commentators had previously spoken of him as the new Kanzler. Instead we have received rumors of an attempt to force his majesty Willem, King of the Imperial Commonwealth of Narikaton and Darnussia to abdicate and install Crownprince Markus as a legitimate successor.

As these ideological changes was openly laid forward in the election campaign, what we see now, is certainly the result of the will of the people, and as seen before, performed directly and hardlined by the Imperial Power party.

United Patriot Party argues electoral fraud
- The UPP claimed massive fraud in the recent elections
- Claims the IPPs recent seizure of power akin to a 'coup'
- Declares constitutional changes absolutely illegal, and argue they risk seriously destabilising the country


THE UPP, the former parters in the old Imperial Commonwealth government, a government previously described as autocratic and undemocratic, have sensationally claimed to be the victim of a 'coup', as the IPP claimed all seats in the Reichstag. The UPP have claimed the IPP to be in serious breach of the nations constitution and democracy itself. However, the IPP have called the UPP 'hypocritical' for making complaints about lack of democracy.

The Imperial Commonwealth, a country previously renounced for political instability and bloody warfare, is currently in chaos as people try to figure out exactly what has happened recently.

Imperial Power Party answer claims of fraud back with a shake of the head

The Imperial Power Party is facing claims of illegality and fraud in the recent election and their current legislation proposals. The United Patriot Party has been the prime critiziser of the current IPP government and their parliamentary actions.

The Kanzler of the Rijksdag Michale Bakkel from the IPP refutes the claims with a shake of the head.

Image
Michale Bakkel giving and interview to the DBS following claims of fraud

Of course they claim fraud and illegality. Its the only world they know. They have been practising such meassures for so long that they forgot about democracy. The People have spoken and legally voted for their favorite party in an election controlled by the old government. How can IPP be authors of fraud and illegal actions in this. We appreciate the mandate given to us by the people and we will not let them down, just because other parties are envious as they no longer can favor themselves. We have more important things to tend to than these false claims. Lets focus on the future, the people, the creation of one nation and a stronger Darnussia.


Together with the political indifference it seems as the IPP has produced and is freely giving out merchandise to support the legality of the election and show how broad support they have in the people. The other parties will surely be teased by this marketing scheme to win over the public opinion as well as they did with the votes in the election.

Whaling Protests break out in Migrant Islands, larger protest planned for Merenbürg.

Lusitânians taking part in the Chegada da Queda festivities, the largest whaling event in the Imperial Commonwealth.

As the new government moved on to vote for ban on commercial whaling earlier this week, thousands of Lusitânians have taken to the streets to protest against the ban in Migrant Islands Devolved Territory capital, Goodport. Whaling has been a part of Lusitânian culture for centuries, with yearly cultural and religious festivities surrounding huge whaling events that thousands of people take part every year. Lusitânian Culture Fund and the Migrant Island Administrative Committee (the governing body of the autonomous islands) have called in a mass protest in Merenbürg next week to ask for the government to rethink their policies. “If they are keen on banning whaling completely, the least The Administrative Committee can ask for is a change in the ban which would allow us to continue whaling as part of our cultural festivities”, said Head of Committee Cristiano Madeiros.

Coalition of Loyalists MR Hans Ventura, himself claiming Lusitânian heritage, has called the ban a “devastating attack against the cultural integrity of the Lusitânians, and the start of genocide against the Lusitânian people, something the left-wing scum of this country has attempted to perpetrate in the past”. Venturas comments have caused an uproar among the liberal and left-wing papers as being completely out of proportion claim which only aims to stir trouble among the Lusitânian people. Chairman of the Loyalist Committee Julian von Östermark has stated that while the Coalition of Loyalists will keep their promise to protect the culture and tradition of the Lusitânian minority, Ventura’s comments are those of an individual member of the Rijksdag/Reichstag and not the Coalition of Loyalists’. “To compare the whaling ban, which can be argued from a conservation of nature point of view, to the past genocides and oppression of the Lusitânian people is not only ridiculous, but offensive to the victims of those very dark and real occurrences of our past. The Coalition opposes this ban fully, but such rhetoric is not needed”, said von Östermark according do liberal Doressa Daily.
