Senator Yun Condemns Attempted Assassination of Federal Chairman
14 March 4921

IGLESIA MAYOR: Following yesterday's assassination attempt on Federal Chairman Yoon Hyeok-Jin, the Taegeuk Alliance has issued an official statement condemning the attack, calling it a direct assault on the political institutions of the Dranian Federation. The statement, signed off by the Alliance's leader, Senator Yun Jaeseong, also criticized the targeting of the very figure whose constitutional responsibility, as head of the Federal Council for Unity, is to act as a nonpartisan figurehead of the Federation. In closing, Senator Yun stated, "This is an act of barbarism and it has no place in the Dranian Federation. We face dire times and the Communist Party has unfortunately given open invitation to this unrest. I wish the Chairman a speedy recovery and I hope that these escalating tensions in our society make the communists reconsider their many radical and destabilizing changes. A peaceful and functional democracy is possible in Dankuk but it necessitates a unified commitment to the Constitution of the Dranian Federation."

A brief statement was also released by the Black Flag Society, reiterating their purpose in helping communities organize to defend their homes and businesses against state seizure. "Like our partners in the Taegeuk Alliance, we are long-time supporters of strict gun control, a policy which has been scrapped by the Communist Party. Even with guns being freely released into public hands, we stand by our anti-gun stance and will not feed into the chaos brought on by the communists. The rise in politically motivated violence is enormously worrying and it precisely why so many average citizens have sought assistance from our organization and our many local community affiliates. Dranians just want stability and certainty for their future in a free, prosperous, and democratic country. While communists devote each day to chipping away at more and more of Dranians' normal lives, the Black Flag Society works tirelessly to uphold some semblance of normalcy and try to help citizens continue to have access to their same goods and services as before this economic disaster. We stand wholeheartedly by that mission and will not rest until we see the end of this communist catastrophe."

Communist Government Ousted in Snap Election
10 June 4921

Senator Yun Jaeseong is expected to be elected as the next Premier of the Dranian Federation

SEONGTAEK: What began a direct challenge to the legitimacy of the communist-led government turned into a successful bid for a snap election. Nationalist Senator Yun Jaeseong took aim at the Kyo Communist Party (KCP), accusing them of abuse of power and unconstitutional conduct in the Federal Council for Unity. The KCP stood by their actions, lambasting Senator Yun for “absolute hypocrisy” and emphasizing the lack of constitutional directive on matters of impeachment or removal from office.

Ultimately the KCP Senators chose to agree to Senator Yun’s call for early elections, challenging his party to do better than them before making assertions on how the country should run.

Fast-forward to today and the official final vote count for the 4921 snap election: the KCP has managed to uphold their position as the largest party in the Federal Senate but they no longer have the votes to form a government. The Taegeuk Alliance’s Yun Jaeseong is expected to become Premier, leading a coalition government with Ecoco, although some are doubting the long-term stability of this arrangement.

The predecessor of the Taegeuk Alliance, the ideologically ambiguous Innovative Dankuk, very frequently entered into unity governments with Ecoco. But unlike its predecessor, the Taegeuk Alliance is nationalistic and affiliated with the vast majority of provincial conservative and populist political parties. There is worry that the Taegeuk Alliance will be less accommodating to Ecoco in the Federal Senate and that if contentious issues are brought to vote by Ecoco then that will bring down the coalition arrangement.

For now, Yun remains on track to lead the new government and nearly all of the communist government’s policies have been stopped. The first batch of communist legislation from the previous session was officially passed in the Federal Senate in the days leading up to the snap election but the Taegeuk Alliance is already working to revert these new laws. Senator Yun has stated that his government will not enforce the communist policies enacted ahead of the election, one example being the state seizure of property. There is now hope that the Dranian economy can make a speedy recovery, having avoided the worst of the rapid economic change that was sought by the KCP. But there is also still great caution and the communists remain a highly influential political force in federal, provincial, and municipal governments.

KCP-ML Designated an Illegal Organization
20 September 4921

Heightened security in Seongtaek.

IGLESIA MAYOR: The Ministry of Security & Justice has officially designated the Kyo Communist Party - Metzist-Leonidist (KCP-ML) as an illegal militant organization that is in violation of federal laws prohibiting paramilitaries. Images published by The Truth, a communist-aligned media group, have also been documented as evidence of militant activity and the unauthorized possession of firearms. These images, supposedly originating from the Elbiana Province, have been of great interest to multiple agencies since their original appearance in an August article on KCP-ML's declaration of a "people's war."

The Ministry of National Defense, the National Police Agency, and the Public Security Bureau have launched a cross-agency initiative to gather intelligence on KCP-ML and they are also coordinating with local law enforcement agencies, particularly in regions known for active communist organizing. This combined effort will make use a wide range of resources to uncover paramilitary activities, such as satellite imagery and drone surveillance. A cryptocurrency task force has also been established to try to identify the flow of money surrounding these illegal operations. The Taegeuk Alliance, via the Black Flag Society, has started a "see something, say something" campaign that encourages civilians to report suspicious activity to the authorities. Campaign posters listing phone numbers and emails for multiple law enforcement agencies have appeared throughout Dankuk's major cities and on public transportation.

Other Happenings in the Federation

Mayor Lee Chong-in Dead by Poison
GONGMANGDO: Only just recently reelected as Mayor of Gongmangdo, Lee Chong-in was found dead at his home earlier this week. The coroner has deemed an undisclosed poison to have been responsible for Mayor Lee's sudden death. Further investigation is being conducted by the Gongmangdo Metropolitan Police but they currently do not have any solid leads beyond public rumors. A common theme among the rumors is the involvement of organized crime syndicates, some of which are said to have had significant disagreements with Lee ever since his original stint as Gongmangdo mayor.

Gongmangdo Conservatives Booted from Taegeuk Alliance
GONGMANGDO: Greatly diminished by the controversies of the 4910s, the once all-powerful Conservative Party of Gongmangdo holds only seven seats in the 81-member Gongmangdo Assembly. An early affiliate of the Taegeuk Alliance's "united front against communism," the Conservatives have now been informed by Alliance leadership that they are no longer recognized as an official affiliate of the federal party. The Traditionalist Party, which now leads the Gongmangdo Assembly, previously submitted a petition earlier this month requesting that the Conservatives be removed due to their "unresolved issues of corruption." This may very well be the final blow to the Gongmangdo Conservatives as more of their right-wing voters jump ship, leaving for the Traditionalists or the recently founded Federalist Party of Gongmangdo.
