Local Nobles Receive Political Power from Federal Government

Image
The National Assembly Voting In Favor of the Nobility Powers Act of 4547

Turtle Bay, Keymon
September 19th, 4547(OOC:Backdated)

The National Assembly has passed a bill giving local nobles more regional power over economic and administrative issues. These powers include the powers of trial by jury, appointment of mayors, funding and legality of abortion, and the legality of collective bargaining. The bill, called the Nobility Powers Act of 4547 will give major powers to the local nobles of Keymon.

These changes have been described by King Carulu as “great advancements in stability and prosperity for both the government and the people”. The powers given to the local nobles were also considered by the Ministry of Internal Security as “necessary for local governments to have to guarantee that stability is guaranteed”.

Some nobles have praised King Carulu for his allowance of more freedoms for the nobles. Other nobles however have requested that the King give more freedoms to the nobles, including the freedom of the right to keep and bear arms. However, the Ministry of Internal Security has denied that request as “too far” and “harming federal and state security”.

However, rumors have it that King Carulu is planning on making major reforms to federal laws including ending media laws that required all media be owned by the state and ending the ban on firearms. Whilst we couldn’t confirm nor deny these rumors, if they’re true they would signal the most major change from his fathers policies.

Gastrien Begins Joint Construction on Oil and Gas Refinery

Image
LNG or Liquid Natural Gas Storage Tanks Under Construction

Turtle Bay, Keymon
February 27th, 4549

A major announcement may soon shake up the world of gas and oil. The announcement was that Gasstrien alongside the Ministry of Infrastructure will begin working on a natural gas and oil refinery. This refinery is planned to be fully automated and will be considered a major infrastructural and technological achievement for both Gasstrien and Keymon. The oil and natural gas refinery would be a major achievement for Keymon as it would make Keymon a minor player when it comes to natural gas distribution. The natural gas and oil refinery however, is not the only infrastructural project Gasstrien and Keymon are working on. Gasstrien announced recently that it would begin building LNG or liquid natural gas storage tanks within Turtle Bay for temporary storage of natural gas moving between Keymon and the natural gasses destination. This would go along with Kazulia’s plan to make Keymon a major hub in distributing LNG across the Mad Dog Sea Region.

However, not everyone is pleased by these projects. When asked her opinion, Canrailles Environmentalist Blanche Clérisseau stated the project would-“endanger the ecosystem and people of Keymon”. When asked to further elaborate on her statements she merely replied-“research it yourself”. Whilst Mrs. Clérisseau has doubts based on environmental reasons, others have doubts based on geopolitical and economic variables. One mayor of a small town near Turtle Bay was quoted as saying-“The fact that a foreign company must do this is atrocious. It should be Keymonites building refineries on our own land, not filthy foreigners”. That mayor has been decried for his xenophobic statement and has since resigned. Whilst some hold doubts, others are extremely excited for the idea of making Keymon a natural gas distributing gun. One politician in the National Assembly who wished to remain anonymous said-“this is a great opportunity and an even greater chance to expand and adapt. Kazulia investment into Keymon should not be ignored but embraced in an attempt to guarantee economic stability and prosperity”.

OOC:After contemplation of this issue, I removed the part of the article stating Keymon had found a small natural gas bubble in its EEZ. This entire situation was due to a failure on my part to correctly RP and I will attempt to avoid such mistakes in the future. From now on, Keymon never found natural gas deposits but the RP concerning the construction of LNG and gas and oil refineries shall continue.

Military is Reorganized, As Ministry of Defense Adopts Total Defense Doctrine

Image
Minister of Defense Antone Roccu, Announcing the Military Reorganization to the National Assembly

Turtle Bay, Keymon
February 4550

The Keymon Defense Forces have begun to be reorganized, as the Ministry of Defense adopts a total defense doctrine and strategy. The reorganization of the Keymon Defense Forces has been a major change for many military personnel as both the Home Defense Corps and Foreign Defense Corps were disbanded and merged into a single Keymon Army, with no corps for either home defense or foreign defense. This change has brought upon confusion in the military due to King Carulu, in an act of apparent realignment or possible insanity, ordered that both corps of the army be disbanded and merged into a single body called the Royal Keymon Army. This merging of both corps into the Royal Keymon Army is planned to be finished by the end of the year and the Royal Keymon Army is planned to be fully operational and combat ready within a year or two. The Royal Keymon Army will be tasked with fulfilling the goals of the Total Defense doctrine and will also be tasked with fulfilling the obligations of the previous army and both of, its now dead, corps. Whilst this change has been drastic, the Keymon Defense Forces and it’s joint operations with other allies will not be harmed, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The Total Defense doctrine, the new strategic doctrine of the Keymon Defense Forces, focuses on five main principles or pillars. The first pillar is Military Defense which’s main goal , according to the Ministry of Defense, is-“to emphasize the need for a strong Military Defence to defend Keymon when attacked or to deter foreign intervention and prevent an attack. The mission of the KDF is to "enhance Keymon's peace and security through deterrence and diplomacy, and should these fail, to secure a swift and decisive victory over the aggressor". As part of the mission, the KDF strives to maintain a high state of operational readiness 24/7.” The second pillar is focused on Civil Defense, which’s main goal is-“emphasizing the need to learn what to do in an emergency before it happens - such as taking part in emergency exercises and attending first-aid and emergency preparedness programmes that the Keymon National Gendarme conducts in order to respond more effectively in times of crisis. Looking out for and reporting anything suspicious in response to the threat of terrorism is also part of Civil Defence”. The third pillar is focused on Economic Defense, which’s main goal is-“building up a strong and robust economy that can sustain Keymon through economic challenges and national emergencies. This means that the government, employers and trade unions working together to ensure there is good infrastructure and the economy is competitive. Individuals play a part by retraining and upgrading, and by keeping up with new technologies and new ways of doing things”. The fourth pillar is focused on Social Defense, which’s main goal is-“emphasizing the need to prevent extremist ideologies and racial prejudice and discrimination to endanger social cohesion and harmony. This involves befriending, accepting and helping people of different ethnicities as well as showing consideration for one another, respecting and being sensitive to the needs and religious and cultural practices of others”. The fifth and final pillar is focused on Psychologic Defense, which’s main goal is-“being prepared for Total Defence and always keeping the fighting spirit, the will, the resilience of Keymonites that determines whether or not Singapore will overcome a crisis. This involves understanding the history and the principles that helped Keymon succeed, and having a strong resolve to stay united and keep Keymon strong and special”.

These pillars were created by the Ministry of Defense, in collaboration with the Kazulian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defense. The pillars are considered by the Minister of Defense Antone Roccu “the most necessary and required measures. We are a small nation but we must have the fighting spirit of the largest of nations. With our allies assistance, we can win any war, no matter where we fight”. When asked on how the Keymon Defense Forces would now deploy troops to foreign locations and exercises, Antone Roccu’s response was-“we shall simply send a brigade or company if that is necessary. There’s no need for another corps for foreign operations”. The change has been met with praise by some but by others, it has been met with criticism.

Terran Sovereignty Coalition Begins Combined Arms Amphibious Assault Exercise Near Golden Coast

Image
Lourenais Ships Approaching Shore

Golden Coast, Keymon
April 7th, 4550

The Terran Sovereignty Coalition has begun a combined arms amphibious assault exercise near Golden Coast. The Blue Team (defenders) for this exercise posses over 100 tanks, 25 artillery pieces, 65 APC’s, and numerous aircraft. The Red Team (offensive) for this exercise posses over 20 amphibious assault ships, 5 sea vessels, and numerous aircraft. Keymon and Vanuku are on the blue team and Lourenne and Hulstria are the nations on the red team. These exercises, which are part of the Terran Sovereignty Coalition’s Military Agreement, will attempt to simulate a naval invasion of an island and the reaction of both defender and attacker. These exercises will most likely be greatly influenced by both teams military and political doctrines. Whilst no team has announced its plan of attack of defense, it’s most likely that Keymon will use its Total Defense Doctrine as it’s on the defending team.

The exercises will also test Keymon’s domestic military and civil response to an invasion. Already, citizens are being told to begin practicing parts of the Total Defense Doctrine and to begin planning evacuation routes. However citizens of Golden Coast are going into full lockdown and will have all of its conscripts called up to duty. They will also have full civil as well as military mobilization, meaning all civilians will now legally be obliged to assist the blue team in the exercise. However, according to the Ministry of Defense, civilians will play a limited role. The most likely thing civilians will do is perform civil preparedness drills, which will include sheltering in bomb shelters, assisting in industry, and keeping morale high.

King Carulu States-“No More Powers to the Nobles”

Image
King Carulu Making A Speech to the Media

Turtle Bay, Keymon
January 3rd, 4548

In response to several local lords and nobles requesting several rights from the federal government that were previously kept, King Carolina openly stated no more powers would be going to nobles or local leaders. This statement comes after numerous lords and nobles have requested even further powers from the federal government. Whilst nobles already maintain several powers that were previously granted to the federal government, more nobles have begun to request more and more federal power and even the creation of a federalized military junta. The most powerful nobles, which are mainly located in the major cities of Turtle Bay and Leighstown, have remained in favor of the federal government and have stated there continued support for the federal government. However, many nobles within Golden Coast and Jamestown support the movement and would support continued devolution of power. This devolution of power could split the nation and cause civil unrest and continued violence.

Local Nobles Begin to Ignore Federal Law, Giving More Freedoms to Residents

Image
Riots in Jamestown

Jamestown, Keymon
August 29th, 4554

Recently, nobles and local lords in Jamestown and Golden Coast have begun to ignore federal laws. These laws mainly concerned firearms, which are a major part of the local cultures of Jamestown. Jamestown has had a history of firearms ownership, from the very first settlers to the modern day people of the city. Jamestown’s local nobles have therefore allowed Jamestown residents to posses firearms, which is against federal law. This has sparked mixed reactions throughout Keymon, with many in the Eastern areas of Keymon approving of the actions, while many in the west have condemned it. Most residents of both Golden Coast and Jamestown approve of the measures, according to a local poll. This is challenged by polls done in the western areas of Keymon, near Turtle Bay and Leighstown. Turtle Bay is 80% against gun ownership legality, whilst Leighstown is split with nearly 45% of residents against gun ownership. These numbers could have an impact on any decision surrounding firearms that the government makes.

Whispers of rebellion have already flared up in Jamestown and Golden Coast. Golden Coast has been especially effected by these whispers, due to its previous history of rebellion underneath the Golden Coast Socialist Rebellion. The memories of this rebellion has been stoked even further by the creation of the Labour Party, a democratic socialist party. Many in Golden Coast have railed around the newly formed democratic socialist party and have begun to protest against the government. The response by the federal government to these protests and opinions has been to crack down. Protests in Golden Coast have been shut down by the National Gendarme, as the national police refused to shut down the protests. This was due to many in the police, tasked with ending these protests, being from Golden Coast and Jamestown and supporting the movement. The National Gendarme has been reportedly begun to use tear gas and live ammunition to break up the protests. The mayors of Golden Coast and Jamestown respectively have declared states of emergency and have been evacuated from the cities. The cities are now called “hot beds of terrorism” by the federal government and might soon be occupied by federal forces.

Autonomous Natural Gas and Oil Refinery Finishes Construction

Image
Turtle Bay Natural Gas and Oil Refinery

Turtle Bay, Keymon
November 11th, 4554

The gas giant Gasstrien has finished its joint project, which involved the immense Keymon Ministry of Infrastructure, of building an autonomous oil and natural gas refinery. This project comes alongside Gasstrien’s project of making Keymon into a liquid natural gas headquarters and distribution center. This objective has been approved of and assisted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and has been pushed through by the President and King, Carulu Ciriaccu. The autonomous oil and natural gas refinery is merely the first of several planned construction projects intended to make Keymon a LNG or liquid natural gas distributing hubs. Another project to build up Keymon as the gas and oil distribution center of Terra is the liquid natural gas storage facilities near several Keymon ports to attempt to store liquid natural gas and redistribute liquid natural gas to smaller vessels, which would each go to several locations and redistribute them from there.

These projects however had one major question surrounding them. Which grouping would own and operate these projects? When asked, the Minister of Infrastructure confirmed that the government would-“maintain and fully own the projects that Gasstrien and the Ministry have been jointly working on”. A similar response was given when we asked a Gasstrien spokesperson. However some are questioning the federal government’s ability to run such an operation. One local nobles, wishing to remain anonymous, has criticized the federal government taking over the projects and running of facilities. He stated that more power should be given to local nobles, especially concerning this deal. Others have requested the government hand over control of the operations to a private company. However both of these options have been firmly denied by the federal government, which has reaffirmed its commitment to this project and its operations.

Antone Roccu Briefing Press on the Situation and His Realignment

Turtle Bay, Keymon
September 12th, 4554

Several Jamestown and Golden Coast nobles have raised private armies and have marched into the capital. These armies, led by around 200 local nobles, are around 30,000 strong and are equipped with mostly equipment stolen from the Keymon Defense Forces previously stationed in Jamestown and Golden Coast. This rebellion, called the “2nd Republic Rebellion” by the nobles leading it, has seen significant support from the locals of both Golden Coast and Jamestown. King Carulu has declared a state of emergency and has ordered all troops to immediately fire upon the rebels. However this order is being ignored by the majority of troops, many of whom are joining the rebellion. This has led to members of the ministry of defense and military generals to side with the rebellion, most notable being Minister of Defense and original mastermind of the military junta Antone Roccu. He has stated he will assist the rebels in overthrowing the government and installing a pro-rebel one. This has sparked chaos in the government with many turtle bay nobles claiming support of the rebels and have begun to raise there own armies to assist the rebels.

The rebel leaders have stated mixed opinions of what government they want to form. Some leaders want to form a Royal socialist state, similar to that in Kanjor, whilst others want to rebuild the fallen republic. However one thing had unified these groups: there hatred of the military junta. So it seems that the junta has fallen and we will see the beginning of a new age in Keymon.

King Carulu Abdicates As Rebels Storms Palace, Daughter Installed as Monarch

Image
Abdication Letter of Former King Carulu

Turtle Bay, Keymon
September 14th, 4554

King Carulu has been forced to abdicate as anti-military junta rebels have stormed the Royal palace. They have since ended the military junta and have arrested all generals associated with the junta, excluding Antone Roccu. The reason for Mr. Roccu’s exception is due to his support of the rebellion. However a major issue has come up. What to do with the generals that ran the military junta? The Revolutionary Council, a council that consists of the nobles that lead the rebellion, have agreed that all generals who worked with the military junta directly will be prosecuted. However many other questions have been raised and are necessary for Keymon to succeed.

His daughter, Marievu Ciriaccu, has been installed as monarch of Keymon. However, what is she queen of? This is the question that most Keymonites are asking. A serious debate is occurring amongst the Revolutionary Council on what kind of government Keymon should now take on. Some members of the Revolutiinary Council are pushing for a monarchical socialist state, whilst others are pushing for capitalist monarchy, yet others are also trying to reestablish the republic. It seems unlikely that another revolution will occur if these nobles cannot agree but it will lead to governmental deadlock.

Tensions Increase As Nobles Disagree How to Reform Federal Government

Image
Monarchist Revolutionary Council Members Leaving the Capital Building

Turtle Bay, Keymon
April 4th, 4555

The Revolutionary Council has begun to disagree and become increasingly divided as disagreements on the kinds of reforms and the type of government the nation should adapt. The main disagreement surrounds the type of government the nation should adopt. The first sect of the Revolutionary Council wants to establish a Socialist state and join CARSS. The second sect wants to build a Kingdom or Keymon, with a Queen and a parliament. The third and final sect wants to build a republic and completely depose the monarchy. These disagreements have caused immense tensions within the Revolutionary Council, with some fearing a civil war between the three sides. However, a possible compromise has been proposed with Keymon becoming a principality and reaffirm the plans to democratize Keymon. The latter two sects of the Revolutionary Council have stated there approval of said plan, however the socialist/CARSS sect has stated its disapproval and its intention to attack and plan that doesn’t make Keymon socialist or communist. These threats have been condemned but it’s unlikely condemnation will stop the CARSS sect.
