Will Dundorf arm fighters in NUM?

In a show of growing anger towards the nation of Dranland, Reichskanzler Valentino has held meetings all day over a plan to arm the independence fighters of NUM. A move to arm the fighters would most definitely put Dundorf at odds with the current government of Dranland, but would help the people of NUM in the long run. It is certain that no boots would be on the ground in NUM, but there is a strong likely hood of the Army sending in major arms and equipment to help the fighters reach their goal. This move is being denounced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Goswin Weinert

This would be an over the top and out of line move for Dundorf to make at a time like this. Yes the Dranish government insulted both Dundorf and our great Kaiser, but do we truly need to support violence against them? If I do get a say in this I promise you it will be a 'no'.

But others are saying it would avenge not only the Kaiser, but also Dundorf's kind heart. Minister of Trade Jeremy Nolen is all for any move to arm the fighters,

These fighters are fighting for freedom and liberty, two things Dundorf holds true to our own highest beliefs. What right does the Dranish government have to stop them from reaching this goal. I say we arm them with everything from normal guns to tanks. I will even go so far as to say give them a few chemical weapons just to show Dranish government what freedom really costs.

The entire nation of Dundorf is split on this decision, with only 37% of the people saying 'yes' and another 32% saying 'absolutely no way', the rest of the nation is undecided. The Kaiser has asked for a formal apology from Dr. Enrique in person, at the foot of his throne.

Dundorfian troops prepare to send a message

Under the direction of the new minister of Defense, Dundorfian troops are moving to Washebar. This move is to send a message to the new government of Malivia which has been deemed a threat towards Dundorf. Since January 3535 Washebar has been apart of the Dundorfian Empire. There is a growing fear around Dunburg that the new conservative government will challenge Dundorf's authority over the territory.

This land belongs directly to Dundorf, and we should not leave any nation to question our hold on it. I believe stricter government control is necessary and a stronger military presences will send the right message to this weak government.

quoted from Reichskanzler Schink's press conference earlier today concerning this matter. The queen herself has stated that "if Malivia tries anything against Dondorf there will be severe consequences for their attack, sending troops near their border is just a warning."

Dundorfian troops move outward

Today the legislature of Dundorf approved the movement of Dundorfian troops to the Royal Federation of Zardugal. The movement is to backup the Zardic troops that are moving towards Cobura to oust the new government of Cobura. Reichskanzler Samantha Schink stated that Dundorf will not back down to these weak governments that have threatened the security of Dundorf and her allies.

Dundorf will not stop until these leaders are brought to justice in Dundorf. My security advisors have told me that Dundorfian land and interests are threatened by the rise of the new regime in Malivia. I will not allow our security to be in jeopardy.

The Queen of Dundorf has decleared the annexation of Idhaghra and Dendhârash. These annexed territories will be under the administration of Dundorf, but the royal rights to the land will be given to the King of the Zards. It is the hope of doing this that it will greater enhance the ties between the two powerful thrones. She states that a bounty of 20 million dollars will be awarded to any person that kills or captures the leaders of Malivia or Cobura. A lesser reward will be granted to anyone that captures or kills a member of the legislatures.

New Royal Castle

In honor of Dundorf's first ruling Queen the Dundorfian Reichstag built a new summer castle for her greatness. The castle is located in Sudschloss-am-der-Czimnetz,Grozvic. A massive crowd of domestic and foreign leaders showed up to commemorate the opening of the castle. As of right now the new castle has not been named, but the Queen has hinted towards naming it after Kaiser Jürgen Scholz. Scholz was the leader of the Dundorf Konservativ Reichspartei and longtime king of Julstoch, were the family still resides in Schloss der Freiheit.

Dundorfian troops sent to Belgae

With the nation of Zardugal without a protective police or army force Queen Kristen Stanfelj, Reichskanzler Samantha Schink, Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Wesselmann, and Minister of Defense Willi Beckmann have approved a plan to were Dundorfian troops will be used as both a police force and defense force for Zardugal. The plan would be funded as a peacekeeping mission to try to maintain one of Dundorf's greatest allies who are going into a declining power. However is this plan truly the outlook that all of these great minds wanted?

It is know that the Queen would support any monarchy that is going through hard times. She has held lavish banquets for the representitives of the Zardugal at least once a month, her relationship with the King of Zardugal is that they are the best of friends. This maybe all nice and stuff, but yet there is another things for her outcome. The Queen has over 15% of the royal funds tied up in major corporations within Zardugal, even more most of the corporations have their headquarters in Belgae. Some of the Queen's critics say that she would rather see the city of Belgae under the control of Dundorf for her own selfish needs. The National Palace released a statement that said

Her Royal Majesty has decided for the good of the people of Zardugal and Dundorf that Dundorfian troops be sent to Zardugal to protect them from domestic in-tranquility and foreign invasion. We must trust that our good friends will work on becoming independent once again. For the rest of the week the Queen will be meeting with represenitives on how to deal with this problem.

Minister of Defense Beckmann has proven his power ways by calling for the annexation of two territories in Malivia, sending 36,000 troops to Cobura to Aid Zardugal who is having problems keeping a hold on their territories, and having a strong hand in making the defense budget the most funded ministry in Dundorf. Many analysts have said that they feel that this is just a start of multiple moves to grow the Empire to new heights, but it is almost certain that Dundorf could be crushed as a power if that happens. Beckmann has been in front of a grand jury for spying on representatives and leaders who come from "hostile" nations, he pleaded not guilty and was able to keep his job. There are multiple reports that point fingers at his administration for the disappearance of foreigners and nationals within the border and around it. The Minister may have good intentions, but his recored speaks differently.

Reichskanzler Samantha Schink and Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Wesselmann have always been on the same page and have always been there for each other when times got tough for them. Within an hour of the meeting they held a joint press conference saying that they are

truly concerned for the safety of a nation which is supposed to be a huge regional power, but yet they cannot hold a police force or an army to protect their citizens.

The Reichskanzler also made it clear that Dundorfian troops are only there on a peacekeeping mission, and that Dundorf will not close it's embassy in the Zardugal capital due to the lack of protection in the country. However it is a known fact that Alexander Wesselmann is married to Kurtt Wesselmann, who is the proud son and heir to the largest national military arms maker in Dundorf, Richard Veiel III. Not only is the Zardugal government the largest buyer from them, the company opened a factory there to meet the demand and boost sales.

No matter the reason Dundorfian troops will now be playing protector for Zardugal until they get back onto their feet.

Dundorfian security threatened

The Alorian National Assembly approved a 20 billion dollar raise to their military budget, better training for their troops, and more investments in better technology. This may be a great move in their eyes, but in the eyes of the military leaders of Dundorf this just means more security on the border. The two nation's military budgets are widely apart from each other with Dundorf spending more than 399.2 billion dollars in the defense of her borders and for foreign operations. Yet with the large difference of military spending and might the Dundorfian leadership is afraid of the speed that Aloria is advancing at. Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Wesselmann recently went to Aloria last month to improve relations with them

They have a nation that is growing itself into a power, but they do not have the finical backing to maintain being a power. My advice to the government of Aloria would be to start slow and improve domestic issues first, then move on to improving a military that works for a nation of it's size, nice and small.

Official meetings will be held in Dunberg with the representitives from Aloria later this month. 2,000 troops have been sent along the border as a show of force.

Joint base opening in Julstoch

With the rise of military cooperation between Dundorf and Zardugal, both nations equally funded the construction of a joint base in Schmittburg, Julstoch. The base will be used for counter-terrorist training, cyber-warfare training, and non-conventional warfare training. The projected training time is about 4-6 months, but officials are working on creating two more courses like an elite course and a fast paced training course. Officials say the new base will have around 6,000 troops at any one time, and will be expanded as time goes on.

Wesselmann is ready for anything

In his monthly address to the people of Dundorf he reassured them that all members of the cabinet are working to protect Dundorf from any attack launched against her.

Dundorf has been through four civil wars, a bag full of governments, and wars on all side, but through all of that, we have held a monarchy for nearly a hundred years. There is not a single nation like ours. We are proud democratic nation that will not stop at anything to achieve our goals. The first goal is to protect our nation from the foreign nation to the north of us. We can only accomplish this by standing up for the motherland. Our greatest allies are building bases within our lands to protect our prosperity. We owe our allies a ton, that is why the Queen and I have decided to start building memorial in honor of their service to Dundorf. Under extreme odds we would not be here without them. As always with great success comes those who wish to see us fail and crumble under our greatness. Well as always we will prove them wrong by supporting the Imperial Guard as they move towards the Alorian border. The Ministry of Defense has stated that there will be a bonus for every person who enlist into the guard willingly. We must prepare for the worst, but expect the best. War is possible, but this administration will work hard to keep that from happening.

As well as the Queen devoting her own troops to the IG (Imperial Guard), the five imperial duchies of Dundorf have also in a show of support given their troops to the IG. Recent polls show that 63% of Dundorfians would support a war against Aloria if it were to be taken over by the Empire.

Six Dundorfian troops found dead

During a routine patrol a squad of men were ambushed by what is to be believed as Alorian troops on the Dundorfian side of the border. The squad had fourteen members in it at the start of their patrol. Those who survived the attack say there was a group of troops in all black that ambushed their patrol an IED that was placed on the road. Soldiers like Obergefreiter Josef Hoener called the attack "fast like lightning". Hoener is one of the few men who got away safely with only minor cuts and bruises by retreating to a village 6 miles away. He says his retreat was covered by Oberfeldwebel Martin Weimer and Fridolin Kaeber who held them off just long enough for the rest of us to escape.

It all started like a normal patrol, we past the normal checkpoints and continued driving along the border. Right before we reached the next checkpoint our lead vehicle was in flames. All of the vehicles stopped and we jumped out, and out of nowhere bullets rained down on us. Flashes of the gunfire flashed off the surrounding trees. Weimer ordered for us to run to safety. I wanted to stay and fight but I knew he was going to give up his life for the rest of ours. Kaeber, a young guy from Bergengruber who wanted to get away from his old life volunteered to stay with Weimer as we escaped. After what felt like 2-4 minutes we heard the gunfire stop and just knew both of them were killed.

After the patrol failed to radio in a search party was sent out to find them and the conflict ground. Helicopters have been flying over the same area ever since trying to find those who were responsible for the surprise attack. The military is launching an investigation to determine wether or not if foreign troops were responsible for the attack.

Reichskanzler Samantha Schink has made it clear that if Alorian troops were the cause of the attack then Dundorf would retaliate with vengance for those who were killed last night. Schink and her cabinet met today to make a plan on how to deal with the situation. Currently any person(s) from Aloria is being stopped at the border and is not being able to cross. Minister of Trade Heinrich Gründler said that his ministry will stop puchesing goods from Aloria and will request for a high tax on anything going to or coming from Aloria. Queen Kristen Stanfelj and Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Wesselmann watched at the air force base as six caskets were unloaded from a plane. They both gave their condolences to the families and said that the entire nation of Dundorf is mourning the loss of their loved ones.

This is one of the worst attacks on Dundorfian soil in history. The people behind this attack will be brought to justice to pay for what they have done. Dundorf will not stand for such violation of our sovereign right. We can rest on knowing that Dundorf will get even with whoever did this.

Dunberg's financial center finished

After twelve years of construction the new Dunberg financial center has been completed and businesses from all over Terra are calling it home. The project was a way for the Ministry of Trade to show the progressions of Dundorf over the years. As the project pushed into its finishing years it was a show of accomplishment of the nation and the monarchy.

Before, the landscape was sparse and very small buildings filled the air. Compared to other nation, we were the most backward place ever placed on Terra, but now we are a force to be reckoned with. Our nation has changed greatly over the years, and now we can showcase it to the world. We have a world-class business area, great military, and a queen watching over us with her grace.

This was a quote from the mayor of Dunberg Eduard Neumann. Neumann was elected and appointed under the claim that he would change Dunberg for the better, ever since then he has only done more and more to hit the goal directly in the middle. It looks like he will be appointed by the queen once again for the third time in a row.


The "new" Dunberg.

Cobura, Zardugal, and Dundorf launch IMED

The nations of Cobura, Zardugal, and Dundorf launched IMED for an international peace mission to spread cures for illnesses and diseases that plaque third world nations around Terra. IMED will travel for three months until returning back in Zardugal where it will restock and head back out for a new mission. The ship is manned by an equal amount of men, and is commanded by the highest medical naval officer in each nation (for Dundorf it is commanded by the highest medical personnel in the army). As the ship pushes forward into new waters, the trio commanders split up their command to allow for order and bliss on board the ship. This current mission is looking to cure more than 18,000 people.
