Imperial Tradition Party disbands. Remaining members of the royal family emigrate to avoid far left Westernist persecution
October 1 4457, Taeyangsudo, Myeoggi

Flight leaving with members of Taeyang Dynasty

After years of turmoil and constant far left propaganda by a Yingdalan funded news organization and parties, the Evacuation order has been given as news of the Far left's takeover of the government spreads throughout the nation, including rewriting history books to suit their own agenda. Among those being evacuated include the Empress, the Crown Princess and various other members of ITP and other members of the government who fear persecution by the emerging government in Dankuk. The new government hasn't been shy of its opposition to Dankuk, and has been known to celebrate the actions of a family that has known past associations with an organized crime syndicate, likely orchestrating political assassinations of Tukarali Crown Prince, and giving kickbacks to foreign companies at the expense of local companies. It remains to be seen what will become of Dankuk. But it is expected that remaining allies of the royal family will follow them rather than risk danger from the emergence of a westernist regime.

SEONGTAEK: Major political upheaval is underway all across the nation as the Federalist Party and its Draddwyr republican allies have won massive public support following the snap elections brought about by the disintegration of the People's Socialist Party. Forces of the authoritarian royal house have fled the nation and their political supporters have resigned from the parliament. Prime Minister Hana Pastora de Santiago appeared before a growing crowd of thousands of supporters in Seongtaek to celebrate the sudden and unexpected victory over the imperial aligned parties. The Prime Minister has immediately motioned for the establishment of a Dranian Federation, officially bringing an end to the monarchy that, one century ago, violently seized power through deceit, murder, and manipulation.

In the days ahead Prime Minister de Santiago has scheduled an endless spread of meetings with local political, religious, and cultural leaders all across the nation, seeking their input and potential participation in the transition process. Of particular interest is finding suitable organizations and community leaders to take part as ranking representatives in the Federal Council for Unity, which will be a national advisory committee that works alongside the federal government to ensure democracy, equality, and human rights for all citizens of Dankuk. Early plans are also in the works to schedule the national election for the chairperson of this council.

Over the coming months, much will change in the political landscape as the nation transforms into the Dranian Federation. And Dankuk's major cities, having regained independent governing status as Federal Cities, will become important centers of the government as Seongtaek becomes home to the national parliament, Iglesia Mayor home to the judiciary, and Port Rhynach home to the federal council.

PYEONGREO, Magadonia Province: Raiders and hundreds of curious observers descended upon the Light Palace in Pyeongreo following the massive success of the republican coalition in the elections. The huge residence, ranked as one of the largest in the world, has sat abandoned and unguarded for a at least a week as a result of growing support for republicanism. The Hwangje Family, having fled without any restriction from the government despite active criminal investigations, has completely left the country. Now their former palace has become a major place of intrigue and plunder. Reporters sent to the site found free access to nearly the entire grounds, frequently encountering urban explorers or thieving opportunists seeking whatever may have been left behind.

Democratic Memorial Park Opens in Seongtaek
The memorial aims to preserve the memories of Dankuk's democratic fighters.
____________________________________________________________________________________________


Image

SEONGTAEK: The Democratic Memorial Park of Seongtaek has officially opened in the outer district of the federal city, serving as a national monument and cemetery that preserves the memory of those who participated in, and may have even died for, the struggle for democracy in Dankuk. The site is composed of a minimalist museum that focuses specifically on displaying the names and images of those who were victim of the two violent coups of the late 43rd Century, the first led by Hong Seon Ki and the second by the Taeyang Hwangje. The latter was successful, setting off a series of events that completely dismantled the nation's democratic institutions and forced thousands to flee the nation as they sought refuge from violent persecution at the hands of the Hwangje dictatorship. The museum illustrates important sites of the democratic movement and the resistance against tyranny in Dankuk. Furthermore it houses a permanent exhibit that deconstructs the messaging of propaganda and cults of personality.

A smaller section of the Democratic Memorial Park serves as a national cemetery for those involved in the democratic movement, whether it be that of the 43rd Century or of the current century. Some graves on the site are symbolic, bearing the name and memory of those who disappeared in the early years of the dictatorship, presumably murdered and dumped somewhere by agents of the regime. Among those graves is that of Rosi Kwon, the Vice President who made the mistake of being the most vocal critic of authoritarianism, earning her a place at the top of the hit list. Additionally is the grave of Ryeo Choesun, the royal heir who was assassinated by order of the Hwangje government. Beyond the symbolic memorials, there are hundreds of grave plots for those were died in the struggle for democracy, such as guards who defended Beonyeongsalm Palace in midst of a coup, innocent civilians who challenged the military takeovers, and conspirators who aided the Ryeo in their escape from violent persecution by both a madman god-emperor and power hungry taeyang.

____________________________________________________________________________________________


PORT RHYNACH: Ahead of planned elections for the first official Chairman of the Federal Council for Unity, Premier Hana Pastora de Santiago has presided over the Federal Council in an acting capacity for the past few months. In do so, de Santiago has gotten a head-start on assembling representatives and organizations from around the nation to participate on this national advisory committee. As an essential piece in the federation's commitment to human rights and multicultural democracy, the Premier has sought numerous cultural and religious leaders in addition to the top-ranking provincial leaders who will sit upon the council. While there is no question of a Draddwyr, Dranianos, and Kyo role in the council, Premier de Santiago has put in great effort to reach out to smaller groups of significance within Dankuk, such as the Kazulian minority of Elbian. While there are still more to be added to the participant list, the Federal Council for Unity has effectively become active with the Premier having met with current members in an informal capacity this weekend to seek more input on government outreach and ongoing democratic transition.

Foreign Ministry Condemns Noumonde Dictatorship
The Dranian Federation is the latest nation to call for international sanctions on the Temanian regime.
____________________________________________________________________________________________


Image

SEONGTAEK: Following a call by President Chéron of the Canrille Federation for international sanctions to be placed on Noumonde, the Foreign Ministry has issued an official statement declaring the intent of the Dranian Federation to support such measures. Foreign Minister Nicolas Yulin stated that his ministry has been monitoring the situation. Solidarity for Democracy in Dovani, the international pro-democracy organization founded by Premier de Santiago, has also started advocating for the restoration of Malgy-rule in Noumonde.
Foreign Minister Yulin wrote:"We are familiar with the struggle for fair representation and democracy. The Malgy people must have their rights restored and they must again be granted their right to self-governance. Furthermore, General Blanchard has taken deliberate action to undermine the local culture in favor of Canrillaise and this provides only more reason for total condemnation of his regime. The international community must not accept the legitimacy of Blanchard's dictatorship and, especially as people of the East, we must also stand in solidarity to protect local cultures, allowing no form of modern-day colonialism."

Dankuk to Join Northern Council
____________________________________________________________________________________________


SEONGTAEK: A huge shift in Dranian foreign policy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that it has formally filed to join the Northern Council, an international economic, military, and political alliance that spans multiple continents across the northern hemisphere. Departing from the isolationist and conspiratorial policies of the past regime, the Dranian government has expressed its view of the Northern Council as an essential body in the preservation of regional security and strengthening of global economic growth. By joining the alliance, Dankuk also takes yet another step in repairing the relationship with its sole geographic neighbor, Kazulia. And as Dankuk continues to experience an ongoing period of economic recovery in wake of the dictatorship's fall, there are hopes that these new relationships abroad could bring in new investments and spark new development.

Haedodi in Collapse, Subsidiaries Break Off
____________________________________________________________________________________________


Image

GONGMANGDO: Once the largest chaebol in Dankuk, commanding multiple sectors of the economy, Haedodi Corporation has announced that it will be entering a transition period that will ultimately bring about an end to the conglomerate. Having struggled greatly over the past number of decades, the chaebol had a brief hope for recovery in the past five years but plans did not turn out as intended. Now Haedodi Corporation is faced with collapse as its forced to spin off many of its successful subsidiaries into independent companies, most with completely new branding that abandons the repetition of the Haedodi name. Other subsidiaries, lacking the same level of success, will likely have to file for bankruptcy unless they are able to quickly find interested investors in the coming months.

On the chopping block are Haedodi Capital and Haedodi Telecom. Meanwhile, forging their own path forward are Haedodi C&E, Haedodi Electronics, and Haedodi Geo-Hydro. The fate of the Haedodi Chemicals, Haedodi Motor Company, and Haedodi Steel still remains unknown.

News of Haedodi's closure has had an immediately negative impact on the wider market as the Dankuk Exchange is seeing losses across all sectors. While positive news may eventually come out of the independent spin-off companies, Haedodi's collapse is not a desired headline as the government continues to push for economic recovery and put Dankuk closer to reclaiming its spot as a leading economy of Dovani.

Indralan Billionaire Arrested for Wildlife Smuggling
____________________________________________________________________________________________


Image

PYEONGREO, Magadonia Province: An Indralan billionaire was arrested on his yacht by federal authorities with assistance of the Dranian Navy earlier today. Zhou Wai-fung, formerly a member of the Indralan legislature, was attempting to smuggle multiple native Dranian species out of the country, intending to keep them as pets. Villagers near Yonseo spotted an "entourage of wealthy foreigners" with a livestock trailer during the late hours of the night, alleging that one or two caribou had been sedated and taken from the wild. This information ultimately led authorities to identify Zhou, whose super yacht was docked in Pyeongreo.

Other evidence was obtained connecting Zhou with the rented trailer that was spotted near Yonseo and police attempted to make contact with the billionaire. Zhou departed in his yacht, defying police orders leading to intervention by the Dranian Navy, which forcefully stopped his vessel. Upon boarding, authorities were able to determine that one caribou had been obtained and was being transported on the yacht back to Indrala. Additionally, authorities found that Zhou had also obtained other Dranian wildlife, including two snow monkeys, a puffin, and a seal. All of the animals were intended to be kept by Zhou as pets at one of his private estates in Indrala. Police have not released the formal charges to the public and it is uncertain what punishment Zhou may face. The billionaire has reported appealed to the Indralan Embassy demanding they obtain his release.

SEONGTAEK: The Ministry of Education & Culture is reorganizing the Greater National University System, a federal-level public higher education system which has long been neglected for centuries. Never formally abolished by any past government, the system has maintained itself on the reputation of its most successful institutions, such as GNU Ulbrach. The government hopes that its reorganization will strengthen the value of all GNU institutions and increase access to higher education.

Mugunghwa Foundation Fundraising Gala exceeds expectation
Over $1m raised for the Bae family's philanthropic foundation over the course of the evening

YONSEO: After decades spent in hiding, the Bae Family has returned to the spotlight, hosting a glittering fundraising gala for their philanthropic foundation, the Mugunghwa Foundation. Bae Joo-hyuk, patriarch of the family and Chairman of the foundation has said that the family intends to use the money in advancing educational opportunities in Yonseo.

The House Bae, one of Dankuk's oldest and richest noble families is estimated to have spent nearly 92% of their net worth funding resistance efforts against the Hwangje regime. Thus, the substantial success of the gala which doubled it's initial $500,000 fundraising goal can be interpreted as an expression of gratitude from the public toward the Bae Family for their personal sacrifice in securing a victory for the democratic movement.

Attendees included Guest of Honour, Premier Hana Pastora de Santiago, Cabinet Minister Park Yongnim, TQ Group's Tang family, Tiankong Group's Ren family, Lü Ae-cha, Ryeo Jiwoo, and various members of the House Sun, House de Mingo and Cheng Clan of Indrala, among many others.

At the beginning of the evening, Bae Joo-hyuk offered a deep bow to Premier de Santiago, conveying his sincere admiration of her administration and dedication to the advancement of democracy. He took his seat beside his sister as the main event of the evening, an art auction, was held. The Bae Family donated a Baekgu-dynasty vase for the auction, which was sold to the Ryeo Foundation for $24,000. Additionally, Bae Woo-hyeon, sister of Bae Joo-hyuk donated one of her personal paintings; Bae is a renowned modern artist. Despite low expectations, the painting (titled "Avalanche") sold for $84,000 to the Cheng Clan of Indrala. The painting was the most expensive single piece auctioned at the Gala.

Near the end of the evening it was revealed that auction receipts combined with donations had exceeded $1,000,000. Tearfully, Bae Joo-hyuk took to the stage where he expressed his gratitude to the audience.

"My father sacrificed his youth, and his life, to liberating our beloved Dankuk," Bae said through tears. "I will not take his sacrifice for granted, and will dedicate all of my energy to honouring his legacy. Thank you all."

Bae Eun-sik, father of Woo-hyeon and Joo-hyuk, was an avowed democratic activist who spared no expensive in channelling support to underground resistance movements. Bae Eun-sik disappeared around 4420, and has been presumed dead since then.

TIAN'AN, Han Province, Indrala: Federal Chairman Sun Seohyun and Premier Hana Pastora de Santiago have arrived in the Indralan capital city today as they prepare to meet with various representatives of the Indralan government. The first foreign visit for de Santiago and Sun, this event marks yet another move forward in the restoration of relations with Indrala and it is expected that many of the discussions will focus on economic cooperation and investment. It is also rumored that officials are negotiating for Indrala to take up residency in the former Vanukean military base located in the Loren Province. And for the Federal Chairman, this visit also has provided an opportunity for the Dranian leader to meet his relatives within the Indralan Imperial Household for the first time.

It is expected that Indralan officials will have their own state visit to Dankuk at a future date.

Sō Yoko to Lead Jiyu Brand in Dankuk

SEONGTAEK: Emerging Kunihito artist and entertainer Sō Yoko has risen as a new symbol for the Indralan art/fashion label and its expanding operations in Dankuk. Not since the days of Lü Jiyu herself has the company enjoyed the eccentricity and controversies that Sō has stirred in Dankuk. But it should come as no surprise from a person whose core inspiration is Jiyu and certainly Sō has made a point to expand upon the legacy of her heroine. Ever since the introduction of the House of Jiyu to Dankuk, Sō had her sights set on winning a role in the company's Dranian operations. After meeting Lü Ae-cha, daughter of Jiyu, at the Mugunghwa Foundation fundraiser in 4460, Sō opened up communication and impressed Lü with her commitment to a Jiyu-inspired life and artistic style.

Before entering this new leading role in the Dranian division of the House of Jiyu, Sō led a career in the entertainment industry, often appearing as a comical side character on variety shows and skits. Aside from this role, which has guided much of her public image, Sō also designs modern art in the style of Jiyu which has appeared in various exhibitions throughout Dankuk. Additionally, Sō is a graduate of Zifada, the post-secondary institution founded by Jiyu.

Sō has big plans for the House of Jiyu in Dankuk and she has already secured a deal to open the brand's second Dranian flagship. To be located in Yonseo, the flagship location will be within the city's central historic department store, owned by the Mugunghwa Group. This premier spot along Brenhines Street was made possible through an agreement by the House of Jiyu to invest in Mugunghwa's broader development plans for Yonseo. Sō also has expressed her hopes of opening what she refers to as "a Zifada north," noting the lack of prominent Dranian higher education institutions that are dedicated to the arts.

Bae Joo-hyuk seeks investors to rebuild iconic department store in Yonseo
Bae hopes to rebuild family's prosperity, prestige
Image

Bae Family scion Bae Joo-hyuk (right)

YONSEO: Bae Joo-hyuk is seeking investors to buy into his family's plan for a revitalized Yonseo. At the centre, Bae Joo-hyuk is seeking to restore the historic Yonseo Mugunghwa Department Store, and in so doing, symbolically restore his family's prestige and prosperity. The store, once the flagship of the family's Mugunghwa Group, has sat in disrepair for decades as it was economically unviable during the Hwangje period.

As reported, the House of Bae while historically one of Dankuk's wealthiest families had lost a significant fraction of their wealth during the Hwangje period, having their assets either seized by the regime or having donated much to the democratic movement. Today, the House of Bae remains in a precarious financial position; deeply indebted and with very few liquid assets.

Nonetheless, earlier this week Mugunghwa Group's Board of Directors announced that they unanimously elected Bae Joo-hyuk, 24, as Chief Executive Officer. This news came after Kim Sang-hoon, Muganghwa's second largest shareholder, announced that he would gift half of his stake in the company to Bae such that the family would regain majority control of the company. This generosity did not go unrewarded by Bae Joo-hyuk, who appointed Kim Chief Financial Officer shortly after his own appointment.

Bae faces an uphill battle in restoring the once-great conglomerate to profitability, but it is a battle he feels obligated to undertake. Speaking to media, Bae said that rebuilding the company was "the only way to honour [his] father's legacy," adding that employing as many Dranians as possible is a major goal of his business philosophy.

De Santiago to Retire Within a Year
____________________________________________________________________________________________


Image

SEONGTAEK: In her twelfth year as the Dranian head of government, Premier Hana Pastora de Santiago has announced her intention to retire before the next parliamentary elections are held. Highly popular among her party and the nation, the Federalists will be hard pressed to find a successor to follow in de Santiago’s footsteps. Some expected that Foreign Minister Nicolas Yulin might come forward to seek a more prominent role in the party but he has declined, opting to focus on continuing his efforts to restore Dranian foreign relations.

Early tensions are growing between Senators Enrique de Mingo and Ryouichi Mangjuhl. The former, patriarch of House de Mingo, has been harshly criticized for participating in federal politics given his role in a noble family. While no laws prevent such a thing, most in the Federalist Party frown upon this mixing of nobility and politics, something viewed as reminiscent of past regimes. Nonetheless, de Mingo now seeks to win over the Federalists and become their leader. As he faces even greater attacks on his nobility, Mangjuhl is increasingly becoming a symbol of Federalist integrity. Actual leadership elections remain far off but Mangjuhl is not wasting time in solidifying the Federalist base and rallying the party’s membership around its reformist icons, Alfredo de la Cruz and Premier de Santiago.

PYEONGREO, Magadonia Province: Sō Yoko has won a bid for ownership over the abandoned property of the Hwangje Sun Palace. Roped off and left to disrepair by the local government, few have expressed interest in the property and most bids to purchase the former palace have been rejected by the government. However, Sō has managed to finagle a win in obtaining the property which she now reveals she intends to completely demolish. A small section of the palace will be preserved and integrated into plans for the construction of an amusement park in partnership with the FangCaiRyeo Group.

SEONGTAEK: The FangCaiRyeo Group has officially opened a regional headquarters in Seongtaek, the latest move in their continuing Dranian expansion. Arriving from Indrala, Xia Taejoon has been assigned to lead the regional office.

With her passing, ownership of the private fashion house has been split into thirds between Luk, the FangCaiRyeo Group, and Sō Yoko, the company’s rising star.

KAIZHOU, Jiaozhi Province, Indrala: Zhou Wai-fung calls for the vassalization of the “barbaric Dranian state.” Zhou complained of the damages to his super yacht which was ultimately seized and never returned to him even after his release from Dranian imprisonment. The billionaire criticized the Dranian people for their “extreme rudeness” and he has promised to offer his personal wealth to assist the Indralan government in pursuing a campaign to establish Dankuk as a tributary state. The Dranian Embassy in Tian'an issued a one-sentence statement reiterating that Zhou has a lifetime ban from Dankuk.
