Short News
Military Exercises
Dokuz (Haftiye), August 4558

The government is discussing the possibility of holding national military exercises in the capital. This is both in order to see how capable are the Jakanian armed forces alone without the help of other countries and also to show the İzmit-class frigates to the whole world.

JSA Observatories Are Being Built Through The Country
Dokuz (Haftiye), December 4557

Seven JSA (CUA) observatories are being built along the country. Three observatories are being built in the outskirts of Dokuz, one is being built in Karataşı, one is being built in Ganşehir and two more are being built in the outskirts of Yeşilsaray.
Image
Until now, JSA was cooperating with several universities to use their observatories, this is expected to continue, however now JSA will be both more independent and will have access to greater resources.

55 and Retired?
Dokuz (Haftiye), September 4557
The act to lower the age of retirement passed from the parliament. Now you will be able to retire at the age of 55.

Lowering the age of retirement was something planned by the government for a relatively long time now. However, it was impossible to implement without fixing and developing the Jakanian economy.
Image
Now, the government is hoping that this will both increase the life quality and decrease unemployment.

A New Sheriff In Town?
Dokuz (Haftiye), October 4557

Metamorphosis Department is establishing the Committee of Public Safety as a replacement for the law enforcement bodies.

Recent reports of the Metamorphosis Department regarding the law enforcement in Jakania stated that "if this country is to become an Anarchist society it needs a more reasonable and fitting replacement for the law enforcement bodies."

Target of the comparison of "a more reasonable and fitting replacement" there is understood by many to be the Revolutionary Corps. It is rumoured that the tensions are getting higher day by day.

However, one of the spokespeople for the Metamorphosis Department, Ahmet Taşkıran, claimed that there are no political reasons behind this act and that it's purely "to further Jakania down the path of becoming an Anarchist society."

There seems to be some proof of that as the first plans for establishing the Committee of Public Safety were made almost as early as the Metamorphosis Department was established.

Meanwhile, the RC's Spokesperson Cemile Akkara reportedly called this a "heinous betrayal". This, however, is yet to be confirmed by any official sources.

Available information released by the state shows that the Committee of Public Safety won't have the exact same purpose as the RC and will definitely have a different structure:
"The Committee of Public Safety shall not be this replacement [for a law enforcement body] on it's own as it shall posses no national level organized power to protect the law, but it shall coordinate bodies of local volunteer people's militia on a national level."

This new body is based on Anarchist principles, such as not being the first-coercer, horizontal organization, voluntary work, and such, according to the Metamorphosis Department's official statement on the issue.

What Has Been Going On In Jakania?
Dokuz (Haftiye), August 4582

The United Communes of Jakania has moved to a glorious future that would be unpredictable only 53 years ago. Under the Party government, Jakania progressed from a nation with an undeveloped economy and almost non-existent military to a prosperous nation, with a relatively strong economy and military, now looking forward to replace most energy resources with sustainable alternatives.

With the Metamorphosis Act, Jakania completed it's progression into an Anarchist society. Now, there are no longer a president but instead the Intercommunal Spokesperson, representing the decisions of the Intercommunal Council. There are also no longer any Prime Minister, but instead the Intercommunal Moderator, that hasn't authority but moderates the debate.

Metamorphosis Department is ever active to fight against any reactionary movements trying to bring back the authoritarian institution of the state and those of Capitalism.

Jakanians are mostly content with the system, not many lives that remembers the days before the Party and the crisis days of Capitalism. Not many can compare the strong military and economy of today with the hardships of the past.

Here is a summary of every important event that happened in the last few decades:

[ OOC: Sorry, I was a bit inactive on the forum, but the following events did happen in-game (in bills)]

The Jakanian Department of Nuclear Energy and Research is Established
Dokuz (Haftiye), July 4561

The government started looking for sustainable energy resources. Scientists of Jakania had a fair consensus that the development of nuclear energy as a replacement for coal and oil was a necessary step in the short term. The government's statement was as follows:
Jakania is one of the biggest oil producers in the world. Our country's economy benefits greatly from this, it helps us protect ourselves, it helps us feed our people, it helps us move on forwards towards Anarchy as a society. However, it also has disadvantages.

First of all, it harms this world, it destroys the nature, it pollutes our weather. This form of energy does not belong to the future, but it belongs to the past. As we are moving forwards as a society, we can't continue on being so dependent on an energy form of the past.

Secondly, fossil fuels are limited. They are not a renewable energy source, even though we benefit from them today, there is no guarantee that we shall benefit from them forever.

Therefore, we think it's absolutely necessary that Jakania starts investing in renewable energy sources, one of the most important of which, is nuclear energy.

Understandably, there are disadvantages and potential harms to using nuclear energy. Under wrong conditions it's use could be catastrophic, not only intentionally through nuclear weaponry, but also unintentionally, through accidents. And it's also clear that nuclear reactors may cause some harms to the environment too.
Image
However, there is no going forward without taking risks. We should be careful with what we are doing, but at the same time, we shouldn't waste the opportunity we have right now. Nuclear energy will at least greatly reduce the harm done to the environment, and it will allow us to do some scientific research previously impossible, therefore perhaps allowing us to develop new kinds of energy that are completely clean and renewable.

Developing nuclear weaponry is not even a risk worth mentioning. It's illegal, and every laboratory and scientific institute in Jakania is regulated to prevent anyone from even trying to develop any nuclear weapons. Jakanian Department of Nuclear Energy and Research should be no exception.

In the end, we propose establishing the Jakanian Department of Nuclear Energy and Research for the purposes mentioned, e.g. developing nuclear energy, and furthering nuclear research."

Fusion Reactor Project Begins
February 4572

Eleven years of nuclear research and research on sustainable energy led the Jakanian government into it's conviction that the fusion energy was the best sustainable energy resource. Therefore in 4572 Jakania began researching and trying to develop a fusion reactor. The government's statement was as follows:

"It has been *eleven years since we established the Department of Nuclear Research. Now we believe the time has come for us to start the project that was one of the main goals of our scientists since the beginning of the establishment of this Department: Nuclear Fusion Reactors.

There are several reasons as to why this project is very important. One of them is to have completely clean energy. Fission reactors create nuclear waste that is harmful to nature and they can cause gigantic catastrophes under wrong conditions. 
Image
One of the other ones is what can nuclear fission research can be used for. Obviously, nuclear bombs rely on nuclear fission technology. And we as a government completely oppose the use of nuclear warheads, and we don't want to leave any room for their development.

There is also the side effects of such a big scale project. This should not only create a clean and renewable energy source for our nation and the world, but it should also help us develop new technologies along the way."

A New Budget
Dokuz (Haftiye), April 4574

During the transitionary state between Anarchism, a new budget was proposed as a part of reducing the state's importance. This budget put far less importance (and money) to the Head of Government, and far more into Health and Social Services and Science and Technology.

New Cabinet
Dokuz (Haftiye), March 4575

The cabinet that has been serving Jakanian for a good amount of time (mainly due to their lack of authority and high expertises on their respective areas) is finally changed.

The new cabinet not only gave more importance to the gender equality but also to it gave room to more ministers of minority ethnicities.

Some argue that this was a result of the final secret conflict between the Metamorphosis Department and the Revolutionary Corps with Revolutionary Corps losing and being subdued by the Metamorphosis Department, but we were not able to find any sources that confirmed this, although many ministers that are known to be favoured by the Revolutionary Corps were replaced with ones favoured by the Metamorphosis Department.

Metamorphosis Act Finally Enacted
Dokuz (Haftiye), March 4578

Metamorphosis Act, the project responsible for Jakania's transition into an Anarchist society, that established the Metamorphosis Department institution, has now finally been enacted, making it's requirements now legal and final.
Image
This symbolizes the completion of the Progressive Anarchist Platform's (popularly known as the Party) ultimate goal, turning Jakania into an Anarchist society.

____INVASION!: DELTARIAN REGIME BOMBS CAPITAL, CROSSES BORDER___

The Criminal Regime of Deltaria has launched a surprise attack against our great nation today as Deltarian Jets carry out night raids on
the Capital Dokuz and on Military and Civilian targets across Jakania. The war, initiated without a formal declaration, has come as a
surpise to the Jakanian National Government, which currently appears to be in a state of disarray. The President has declared a state of
Emergency and martial law has been declared as the Armed Forces have taken command of the war effort in order to defend the Turjak
Republic and Nation.

The Presidential Palace and National Assembly building have been bombed, as well as the Chief of Defense Staff Headquarters. Current
reports on the border are sketchy. However, there are indications of a land and naval invasion currently taking place. The 3rd, 5th and
7th Mechanised Divisions appear to be engaging Deltarian troops in the Communes of Bukayar and Akadası, sustaining what are
expected to be heavy casualties. General Isitan Engin, Chief of Staff of the Jakanian Armed Forces, has called on all Turjaks to rise up
in resistance to the enemy. Conscription has begun throughout the country. Weapon stockpiles are being distributed to those of
fighting age in Dokuz, as well as in Nişkek and Asman, as patriotic anger sparks a general uproar.

Image
The Government has requested World Congress assistance to remove Deltarian forces from the country, as well as asking from support
from any nation willing to aid our nation in upholding international law and the sovereignty of nations. Whether support will arrive in
time to support our outnumbered military is unknown, however, the Turjaks do not buckle or bow. We shall fight until the end, we
shall fight on alone. Good night and Good luck.

Fiscal Budget Cuts and Transportation Reforms Underway

President Yucesoy Kalkan announced wide sweeping budget cuts to all Ministries in response to the 100 billion JAK deficit. Important Ministries including Defense, Health, and Education saw cuts despite protests from Defense officials. The Kalkan Administration also announced its intention to raise taxes on all income brackets to close the remaining deficit. President Kalkan stated that the fiscal measures, which included headcount reduction and consolidation of roles, were necessary to combat the Central Government's pervasive budgetary issues. Kalkan's Administration emphasized that the taxes increases would be temporary as it hoped to further reduce the budgets of the Ministries. However, the Administration made clear that the extra funds that would be raised would be reinvested in the form of vital transportation infrastructure.

Finance Minister Resigns After Allegations of Corruption
March 4668

Mr. Yavuzboga Pasa resigned from his position as Finance Minister after pressure from President Kalkan and other prominent Republicans. Mr. Pasa has been accused of embezzlement and abuses of power, however Pasa has maintained his innocence. Interior Minister Esen Odabasi and Justice Minister Alex Terzelis announced that their ministries would be opening a joint investigation into the allegations and would bring charges if necessary. Prior to the allegations, Pasa was considered a prime candidate for the future presidency, but is the latest individual ensnared in incumbent President Kalkan's anti-corruption campaign. President Kalkan announced that he intended to nominate acting-Minister Karaman Nadir to fill Pasa's position in the Cabinet. The investigation into Mr. Pasa's activities as Finance Minister is the most prominent scandal to rock the, otherwise, stable Kalkan Administration in its final year in office.

The Party Re-surges
(A Short Summary of Whatever Happened In Jakania)
Dokuz (Haftiye), July 4699 (From late 4500's to late 4600's)

The political reality in Jakania has been generally mysterious to the international community ever since the fall of the Party (PAP) regime in the late 46th century. Regimes that took over after the fall of the party have kept their interactions mostly at a minimal level to the outside world, except instances of war or significant political crises. We as Cumhuriyet, after our headquarters have been reconstructed, have taken it as our duty to inform the international community regarding what happened during this foggy period. Here is our report:

Fall of the Party
The Progressive Anarchist Platform officially stopped its operations following the completion of the Metamorphosis Act in March 4578, considering its purpose completed.
Image
The Progressive Anarchist Platform throughout most of its history has either used this black flag, or the black and red flag as its symbol
While the decision was written in, what is sometimes called, "the Party's Constitution", there was a lot of internal discord surrounding the event and two blocs broke off from the party by deciding to continue their existence; Kızıl Cephe (the Scarlet Front) and İşçilerin Daimi Cephesi (the Workers' Eternal Front). This created a situation of general chaos in the existing political infrastructure and the nation-wide bureaucracy, which led to the existing institutions not being able to respond to a previously unknown organization called the People's Democratic Party declaring their government. The People's Democratic Party's political positions and true nature is still unknown, but they were the primary actors in building a new Jakania by repurposing the existing institutions in a non-Anarchist manner.
This new rogue state is what now lies at the foundations of what is currently known as the Republic of Jakania.
The Four Way Civil War
Now there were four political actors all claiming their legitimacy; what is left of the institutions of the old Party under the name of the United Communes of Jakania, the Socialist Republic of Jakania ruled by the Scarlet Front, the Workers' Democracy of Jakania controlled by the Workers' Eternal Front and the Republic of Jakania under the People's Democratic Party. While the event only turned into an actual military conflict after the news of the PDP's declaration has reached the old Party centers; SF, WEF and the left-over Party were already in active conflict and were actively struggling for power, which gave PDP both the element of surprise, and the time span to properly organize their militias. Infighting and the inability to cooperate effectively crippled the left in the nation, and allowed the PDP to relatively quickly seize power and install themselves as the new regime.

Flags of the Civil War, from top to bottom; the Workers' Democracy of Jakania, the Socialist Republic of Jakania, the United Communes of Jakania, the Republic of Jakania
The New Regime
The New Regime did not instantly start abolishing Socialist institutions, instead they introduced taxes and similar policies again to undermine these institutions and policies, putting strain on the Jakanian economy. Afterwards they enabled right wing and otherwise political organizations, making the country a representative democracy again and allowing reactionary forces to return back to Jakania. While Socialist political organizations tried to fight back, the leftovers of the Party were illegalized and actively fought again, therewith forced underground, and these new Socialist organizations usually just did not have the monetary or political capital to fight the new regime. Through time all the reforms and institutions of Socialism and Jakania have been purged and Jakania was made again into an undeveloped country, its economic potential went to waste, and its military forces already destroyed after the civil war entering another, international conflict:
The War
As the purpose of this article is to enlighten the international community, the details about the war will be skipped, but needless to say, they further damaged the already damaged country of Jakania, and forced into a completely submissive state in its international relationships.
Scandals and the Resurgence of the Party
Beaten and tired by the war, the already vulnerable bourgeois government of Jakania faced this time a corruption crisis. The leftovers of the party, now all united under the name "İşçilerin Birleşik Cephesi" (the Workers' United Front) were still continuing their underground activities, after playing their role in combating the invading forces and seeing the vulnerable situation the bourgeois regime was in, the Party reinvigorated their protracted war against the establishment.
Image
Re-Taking Control of the Country
The WUF were already experienced in combat and taking over countries. All they were waiting for at this point was for the government to show its weakness. After a merchant publicly burned himself to death because of the debt he was under and the non-existent economy, already tense public started nation-wide protests, which quickly evolved into riots as they were badly handled by the government, the WUF took the leadership of this spontaneous movement and organized it (alongside their infrastructure) into a revolutionary movement, and used this force to bust into the Capitol building, and forced the government into spontaneous elections under the supervision of the Workers' United Front, this ended in a complete victory for the WUF, and they are now eliminating the last remnants of the reactionary government and preparing to completely restructure the country.
