Published November 19th, 4475

In a move to expand the label's genres, Wave Records has formed a subsidiary label, called "New Dawn Records", focusing mainly on country music, in the most legendary music capital of Baltusia: Rutledge, in Ralston.

Home to a rich history of musical genres as well as artists, the city is no stranger to numerous record labels being headquartered there. With the formation of New Dawn Records, yet another is added to the list.

The freshly appointed President of the label, Lyndon Strickland stated that the company had already seen a flood of up and coming country artists submit demos to them, with two already being booked, them being Johnny Cheswick and Marlon Harrison.

When asked about the move, Wave Records's CEO, Giuseppe Briguglio spoke largely about the potential to the people of Baltusia's heartland—Mainly those of Ralston and northern New Egelion. Briguglio saw it as stepping outside of the box of it's usual repertoire of it's VEMI acquisition, which was mainly pop and techno. "There's much more of an audience out there than just the big city of San Luis. Simple people out in Baltusia's heartland: Farmers, ranchers, millworkers, you name it. I believe it was practically inevitable to create a country label."

New Dawn Records already secures two seasoned country music artists

With the formation of Wave Records's country label, New Dawn Records, the subsidiary reportedly saw a flood of demos being sent to them from up and coming country artists the whole nation over. Two of which were seasoned country stars Johnny Cheswick and Marlon Harrison, with Cheswick producing such classics as "Quick Metal", and "San Fierro".

Marlon Harrison, being somewhat older than the rather young Cheswick, stated his reason for signing was to put newer labels into the spotlight, and to hopefully entice further burgeoning country artists.

"Y'know, it's all about putting the new labels on the map. I've heard of VEMI before, and those Valruzians could make some good sound, I won't deny that. Now they're under Wave [Records], and now they're getting their foot in the door of Rutledge. Felt it was a good gesture to give them my blessing. Shoot, with me joining New Dawn, I bet they'll stand a good chance of getting some solid talent over the years."


Despite having yet to produce a studio album from both artists, the new label is already reporting to be making thousands of dollars, after striking a licensing deal with Cheswick and Harrison's other labels to begin distributing their music.

Aloy-Sophie Darklight say he got a lead on Patrick Longfields

Aloy-Sophie Darklight came back from in front of the San Luis Federal Prison, in front of a crew of protestor to announce that he may a found a good lead on Patrick Longfields.

I found a lead, but I have came here to tell you guys that we may still need to protest for Maya's freedom. As nothing will confirmed until I can find Patrick Longfields. But what I can say, is that an evidence that could have proven the presence in the house of Maya is missing from the federal investigations and from the trials. If that evidence was presented, there would be quite a reasonable doubt that Patrick could have been in the house at the moment of the crime. I've talked with the Satanailist church Clerk in Aguasfrías. And she remembers seeing Maya, she told she give a religious artefact to maya. To be honest the truth, is probably that Mireille defense was wrong, but I can't blame. Mireille is Hosian, she knows nothing about satanailism. She did the best she could. Now, as much as I really want to tell what that proof, I can't, because there is possibility that Patrick Longfields is keeping it without knowing what is it, and he must not know. Now our question is where is Patrick ?

April 4476

Convicted assassin points finger at Istalian intelligence

In November 4468, Brendon Goodman was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for planting a car bomb which killed Jean-Yves Bethune in Culverstown in Attano State.

During the course of the investigation, it emerged that Jean-Yves Bethune was a leading activist in Action Canrillaise International, the hardline pro-Canrillaise group which opposes Malgy Majority Rule in Noumonde. He was discreetly touring Baltusia in order to meet influential sympathisers and raise funds (and according to some suspicions, also arms) for his organisation.

At his trial, Goodman refused to provide any information about his motive. There was a strong suspicion he was working for others - perhaps one of the Malgy paramilitary groups, like the Malgy Liberation Front. However, to the frustration of investigators, he never spilled the beans - even though doing so might potentially have resulted in more lenient sentencing.

Now, in a sensational development, it has emerged that Goodman has been talking to investigators in prison, and is claiming he was paid to do the hit job by a man called Joseph Harrison, who he says he is "99.9% certain" is connected to AISER, the Istalian foreign intelligence service.

This comes as a surprise, since the Istalian security services were not the obvious suspects. However, not everybody is saying this theory is necessarily unbelievable either, since Istalia has taken a very strong line against Action Canrillaise International and has previously expressed frustration about the reluctance of some leading World Congress members to support decisive action against international rogues.

According to insider sources, Goodman has changed his mind about not discussing the murder because he is missing his wife and family, and is hoping the Baltusian authorities will allow him more visits and possibly review his sentence if he co-operates with them.

Police are still searching for Joseph Harrison, the man Goodman says paid him to do the hit, and who he alleges was connected to Istalian intelligence.

This development comes at a difficult time for Istalia, since the General Assembly President election is now underway. One of the candidates, Ibrahim el Salefi, is Istalia's current Foreign Minister, and is likely to face embarrassing questions about whether his government is authorising overseas assassinations. The previous Istalian candidate for General Assembly President, Aghar Yassen, was Istalia's Foreign Minister at the time of the assassination, and this fact is also likely to come under scrutiny as well.

Aloy-Sophie Darklight say he understand nothing.

Its not logic, I don't get it. It do not work.
Aloy-Sophie Darklight to the Johnston Post journalist, outside a Bar in Blackwoods.

Aloy-Sophie Reported having met Patrick Longfield and his Brother Matthew Longfield, in a bar. According to some locals, there was some tensions between the two mans, but no incident was reported.

I'm evaluating what should i do about this. The discussion I had with him, it was not logic. I'm certain he knew I was coming and I think I accidentally told him what kind of proof I was searching for. Yet he was still wearing it, I'm kinda lost. I expected him to push me back, to not talk once bit. But when we started to talk, he tried to convince me that he always loves Maya, that he never wanted to hurt her, and that he gave me all kind of excuse about his situation. Look, we have talked about Maya, about her conviction for jail. But I am not certain of how I can conclude this. there is no damn logic. Why did he kept the necklace ? Why did he agreed to talk to me ? Since I told everyone I think he killed Caia. Its not logic. I don't get it, I just don't. It do not work. I think I'll need from a specialist in human relations to help me understand this puzzle.

One thing, I can say for sure. We should have questioned him.

Aloy-Sophie Darklight

Meanwhile, Patrick Longfield said he don't understand why Aloy-Sophie suspect him.
People don't understand me. They never understood. If I killed that girl, why would I keep the Necklace ? Why would I talk about that situation with her brother. Look, its aint me. We both know that she could never have killed her daughter, she was not that type of woman, that she does not deserve to be jailed. I told him that is wrong, that i really loved his sister, But I don't think he believed me. For now, let's just say its good that our meeting did not turn into a fight.

Sarah-Rafaelle Darklight say there is still hope for the PLCA.

In front of johnston Federal Prison, Sarah-Rafaelle Darklight was invited to comment on the political situation of Baltusia, The former secretary of environment was convicted for 2nd degree murder. The PLCA was evicted from the UDP and it does not look like the republican are very divided on many issues.

I really don't know, what I hope, is that there is still hopes for the PLCA to join back the UDP and fufill ours roles. When they'll realize that your secretary of environment was a poor victim of abuse and rape. That she could not have killed her own daughter, I think the heat will calm down. Even Patrick said that Maya does not deserve to be in jail. To be frank, our party is victim of a grave injustice. The most important thing at the moment, is that Maya is freed and reconforted, the poor girl has suffered enough, she deserve a break.

Sarah-Rafael Darklight

Sage Kinney announce Pregnancy .


Meanwhile, the PLCA presidential Candidate made an announce, she said she is pregnant, And assured the electors, that her plans to have children will not affected her capacity to fufill hers future presidential obligations, if ever she was to be elected.

Well, no point in dwelling on it, I did not plan to start pregnacy right now, but life is life, and we might aswell go on it. I can assure that such an events will not affect me in my capacity to fufills my obligations. My Candidacy for the presidential election if not a joke, its serious.

Farnsworth-Murray ticket swings through San Luis

Image
UDP Vice Presidental Candidate Joe Murray

UDP Vice Presidental Candidate Joe Murray made a stop in San Luis as he campaigns through Santiago. “Together We Are Stronger” was the message Murray conveyed to the crowd, the same message the Farnsworth-Murray ticket has pushed as they try to repair the damage that the PLCA inflicted during its short tenure in the UDP. Murray also promised the crowd that a Farnsworth-Murray ticket would continue to fulfill the promises made during Farnsworth’s first term.

As the election nears and a competitive race comes to a head, who will be left standing when the smoke settles? Will the Republicans hold on? Can the UDP overcome the shame of the PLCA? We will find out shortly.

As October comes, Socialist Leader Kyle Evans is "proud to support Farnsworth" while announcing his resignation to the Leadership of the Faction
Image
In a surprising Press Conference, Evans talked elections and about his future on the Socialist Faction

Johnston, D.D.
24 September 4476


As the Elections are just a few days away, the Socialist Faction of the United Democratic Party finally broke its silence and publicly announced its total support to the candidacy of Oliver Farnsworth, as Kyle Evans, the current faction leader, stated recently.
As Evans hasn't been on the public eye for a while now, the journalists on the conference couldn't stop asking questions to the Red Leader of the UDP, some of them were answered, some of them were cleverly dodged by the New Egelion lawyer. "This Faction will always follow the UDP's Leadership decisions, and we are nothing but proud to campaign for Oliver Farnsworth, and of course, my personal friend, the Moderate Joe Murray, our future President and Vice President of these United States of Baltusia."

"I have noticed that my absence on the newspapers could've damaged our credibility, but I must assure you that the Socialist Progressive machine is up and running. I wasn't able to talk to you and the nation as often as I wanted to because of personal problems"- Evans told the press.

Those personal problems were revealed a bit later, by the Secretary of the UDP, Cecily Ortobbya, as she published on her Social Media
My thoughts and prayers goes to Mrs. Evans and her family. This only reaffirms our need to refund the National Cancer Association. Many many Baltusians have lost their treatment because of this greedy Republican Government. SAD!"



Evans also announced that he will call for Faction Leadership elections after the October Elections.

Base Construction Well Underway

Image
United States Marine Corps Base Under Construction near San Luis

A report from the Department of Defense has confirmed that the opening phase of the Long Term Baltusian Defense Modernization Plan is well underway with construction crews working furiously on the planned expansion of Baltusian Armed Forces military bases across the nation. The plan passed by Republican two years ago, called for the construction or expansion of 14 Bases across the nation, with 8 projects currently underway with the initial expansion of the Armed Forces expected to be ready within the next year. Defense Secretary Nathaniel Archibald confirmed that this initial phase, which would see the size of the Baltusian Armed Forces increase by 50%, would be finished before the end of this mandate, though military procurements would be slow.

The Defense Department is still looking into the actual procurement for Aircraft for the Armed Forces, though its confirmed that Hutori, Kazullia and Vanuku are slated as the finalists to select the face of the United States Air Force moving forward, with a specific look at the HF-35 and HF-43 of Hutorian fame receiving the most attention, mostly for integration reasons with the rest of the Northern Council Air Forces that widely use variations of the HF-35 as their mainstay Fighter.

Insiders at the Presidential Palace have quietly confirmed that once the cabinet is confirmed through Congress, Vice President Sweetwater, Defense Secretary Archibald and Secretary of State Nickerson will be immediately going on an international blitz to build up the United States' profile, both within the Northern Council itself, but also to internationally as a whole.

Divide left during the elections.

During the last election, the republican party saw their party secure a confortable majority in the congress. While The PLCA lost about 40 seats. Marnady Evil, said that the scandal around the former secretary hurted the PLCA

In politics, we are guilty before being innocent, for exemple, we could accuse a minister of rape, and until they prove the allegations wrong, the population will the minister as guilty and sometimes even after we discovered the individual was innocent, the person is still catogerized as guilty. there are multiple democrats who focused all their Energy on the PLCA. To me, it look like a wrong. Divided the left will not win.

Marnady Evil, Chef of the PLCA

The PLCA annonce Heart of Iron, a game that put players in the presidential palace

Maria Hill and Andrew Miner announce they released a new video Game, Heart of Iron, where Baltusia are put in the presidential palace of Baltusia, and where a small group of players are plotting to commit treason and murders. Everyone can be evil, even the President himself.

for a time, players will be able to role play important roles like the President. Townies who are trying to uncover and stop the treason, like the Special Agent, the Warden, the Sorceress, the Inspector, the first lady. They can allow play evil classes, like the Godfather, the Blackmailer, the Cult leader, Distractor. Or they could some crazy neutrals like the serial killer or the terrorist. We can assure that with a strong variety of roles, every games will be unique. In some you'll be a good citizen, but you may be corrupted, in other you'll an evil man. People will have to stay on their toes at all times.

Maria Hill
