Pyeonghae Band Performing Birthday Music for Empressl

Spontaneous Celebrations across the nation our beloved Empress Taeyang Yoon-Jin has reached her hundredth birthday. Concert halls released dedicated to the Magnificent Leader. Among the songs are "We are the best!", Old Classic "We cannot live apart from your Bosom Great Sun Yoon-Jin"and two new hits "Song in Praise of Yoon-Jin" with lyrics such as"The Empress is spirit of Strong Dankuk! Empress is beating heart of Dankuk!"

In addition to the above songs was one privately written "Peace Song", that featured a Peace Dove. This song was not sponsored by the government, officials have said, and it is uncertain why it was included. It is possible this was written by the new Cultural minister as a response to a foreign radio program.

Dr. Lee and his assistant discuss Volcano Physics

The eccentric Dr. Lee, together with his assistant, has left his "Lion Lair Research Facility" to study volcanic activity in Jelbania of all places. While it is no secret that he harbours dreams of weaponizing Volcanoes, The visit to Jelbania is an odd one.

The Billionaire Scientist is travelling on his own private funds that he has amassed via contracts with Taeyang Electric Company when he briefly served as part of its Research and Development team.

While he is travelling the wilds of the steppe, he has left his "Lair" in care of his Only Daughter, Lee Eun, who is taking care of many of the exotic animals he keeps as pets, including a rare Dankukin Tiger, a couple of bears, and a Shark Tank.

Death of Prince Tae Kyo

Empress addresses her citizens:

"Dear Citizens

Today is a sad day for us all. My dearest brother and our loving former prime minister has died. Brother, you did so much for our nation fighting off foreign opposition and helping to get rid of the party which tried to get rid of me. Without you, our dynasty would not be proud of you. Today is the day you go and join our mother and I hope she is proud of all your achievements

Your death has deeply touched me and I will be giving the citizens of Dankuk 5 days off for mourning purposes

Whilst you may physically be dead, you still live on in the hearts of many people and will never be forgotten

Yoon Jin
Empress of Dankuk"

Dankuk to Support Hulstria

Dear Citizens,

Today I can announce that Dankuk will be supporting Hulstria's efforts against the threatening third world country

Whilst it is a third world independent country, we will be showing our support to stop others being treated in the manner that they are treating people

We will be sending financial support, military weapons and other materials that may be needed and if the situation continues over 5 years then we will review the issue and look at taking a great involvement

Jacob Rhee
Prime Minister

Empress Yoon-jin Abdicates | "Kami of Kyo-pop" Taeyang Hae-sook takes the throne
July 1, 4416 Taeyangsudo, Myeoggi (OOC:Backdated)

Image
Retiring Empress Taeyang Yoon-Jin 111

The aging Empress, Taeyang Yoon-jin, 111, has announced her retirement as the "bosom of the minjok" and her daughter Hak Hae-sook, Now Taeyang Hae-sook, who is 86, has assumed the throne. It is believed the abdication is due in part to recent deaths of Lady Elizabeth Kong, a longtime aide, and her brother, Prince Tae Kyo.

Image
New Empress Taeyang Hae-Sook 86

Not much is known about Taeyang Hae-sook, who's brief appearances in public have included an incident involving setting up a sentry for a daffodil, and having been a Kyo-pop singing sensation in Her 20's. It is also uncertain how she will handle the ongoing crisis in Ostland, but certain members of the government have insisted they are supportive of Hulstria and Gao-soto's pressing the Ostland government.

Dr. Lee claims ready to sell Ground-Splitting technology to Government, takes credit for Volcano Blowing up

Dr. Lee claims credit for eruption. Offers to sell secret to Volcanic Weaponology

Dr. Lee, who has been studying Mt. Tanhri for years, claims that he has finally succeeded in bringing his dream to fruition. With cries of "Dankuk Manse! Taeyang Manse!" Several researchers can be seen in a video with strange looking equipment in front of exploding volcano. They haven't revealed their methods, yet Dr. Lee is confident that his "splitting ground" technology(OOC:Hydraulic Fracturing) had a role to play in the process.

Skeptics remain unconvinced, and are quick to point out the subpar editing methods in video. Notable among skeptics is Dr. Yoon, who was once a colleague of Lee's and rumored to be his arch-rival in eccentric theories, claims Lee just doesn't have what it takes to set up off a volcano himself, but instead says he bribed Taeyang the Great, descendant of the Sun Kami and first Empress of DankukuiDaejeguk, with massive sacrifices to ask the Jelbanian Sky God to make the mountain "go boom".

Meanwhile, academic turf wars aside, the Government of Dankuk is advising travel caution around Jelbania and is rerouting all flights away from the volcano.

The negotiations have since concluded with a formal state visit by former President of Beiteynu, Shmuel Kahan, who first introduced the bill in Beiteynu's parliament, and various members of the current government within Beiteynu including astute Foreign Minister MK Mordecai Yohannan, who was instrumental in obtaining the necessary votes to pass the trade agreement between he two great nations.

Two great Nations together in Harmony

The diplomatic entourage was welcomed by Her Imperial Majesty, Taeyang Hak-sook, and Yeounguijeong Sean Hong to a state dinner featuring many excellent delicacies, such as Bulgogi, a national dish of Dankuk, and Kosher Rice as a new import symbolizing the burgeoning trade agreement. Among the topics of trade included discussion of setting up wine vineyards in Dankuk, and new Hotels for tourists to appreciate the beauty of Dankuk. Of special note will be planned visits by Dankuk's Hosian minority to Holy sites within Beiteynu as part of developing religious outreach program. At end of dinner, Beiteynu officials were given a tour of Imperial capital in which they saw the Gardens, overlooked by snow capped peaks in the background and enjoyed much of the historical sites of the City of Taeyangsudo. Mordecai Yohannan eventually toasting to alliance "Long Live our shared prosperity! Our countries have a lot to celebrate!"

New Black Dragon class Submarine

After long years, General Wu the Dragonmaster, who is now 113, has unveiled a reformed military budget, that while doesn't change expenditures, does reallocate funding to allow for, among other things, refitting and redesign of a new fleet of Submarines. It is believed that this is part of his grand exit from Public life as he has stated intentions to retire soon from Public service soon due to his Age and has served in some capacity since the successful expulsion of Invading Kazulian forces 60 years ago. The New fleet is planned to take part in patrol and Anti-Piracy exercises in an undisclosed location in the Arctic Ocean.

In a show of Strength, the Imperial Forces have conducted Defense drills in the mountains of Reunni, including Winter combat training and have set up Mountain Foxholes in order to simulate defending against invasion. The Drills, in what little has been shown to the public show new upgraded weaponry, Anti-tank weapons and setup of anti-aircraft defense batteries overlooking mountain valleys. Trenches and "Tiger-Traps" have also been dug in plains as part of anti-Blitzkrieg tactics. It is expected that these drills will be held yearly along with Navy anti-Piracy and coastal defense drills to improve Combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forces.

Tours of the Great Wall of Dankuk open

Great Wall of Dankuk

Ever since the defeat of the Kazulian Invasion of 4375, the Great Wall of Dankuk has stood to prevent future invasions and has been heavily militarized area off limits to civilians, however it seems in a change of tone that the government has decided to allow tours of the Great Wall and even private vendors are being set up encouraging tourists to "watch the other side for Kazulian movements" and money is awarded when a Kazulian Patrol is spotted. Many of the Imperial Forces are happy to see this new development as it refreshing change of pace. Some in the government weren't too happy as Conservatives protested stating that "tours are inappropriate given that relations are still cold with Kazulia." Others think that it is unnecessary as "while both sides like to sabre rattle every now and then, nothing has happened in decades and will likely remain so in the future." Eiher way tickets cost 500 DRA per person and the local imperial guards are more than willing to escort you around the wall.

In recent years, the government has decided to remove many of the restrictions on Stock exchanges and to better enable foreign investment in Dankuk. This is after years of the government keeping a tight lid on incoming economic traffic and is seen as a boon by certain companies who wish to expand their revenue base to new areas.

Dankuk Invites President of Kazulia to meet with Honourable Yeonguijeong

In a startling move, it seems that Dankuk and Kazulia are attempting to resolve their differences behind closed doors and has invited the President of Kazulia, Therese Kristensen, to meet with Yeonguijeong Christina Lambeth to discussing resolving current tensions that exist between both nations. What is exactly being said is a closely guarded secret, though a Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry has revealed that Discussions have included a renouncing of claims on Jjeokuk by Dankuk(even though the Taeyang Dynasty have never pursued the old Kyo claims on the territory) in exchange that Kazulia renounce their claims on Eljang and Reunni along with a general cessation of hostilities. All this comes as Dankuk has just recently agreed to host a base for the Majatran Union of Nations which is currently in a dispute over Kazulia opening a base in Kalopia.

Among the Constitution's provisions include the recognition that Sovereignty resides in the Empress, and Head of the Armed Forces, though it is expected that the Yeonguijeong will be doing the bulk of administrative activities in the Empress' name as the Lese Majeste law establishes Imperial Impartiality in exchange for Empress' sacredness to be upheld.
