Explosion Shakes Maridon

The Still-Burning Ruins of Governor Grant Carver's Home After the Explosion of an Incendiary Bomb

Over the past few years, there has been a rising in acts of terrorism in Kalistan, starting with explosion of a car bomb outside of a CAK base in Kaliburg back in March 4544 and most recently with the assassination of President Sarah Furhat by a gun-toting psychopath last February. Kalistan was truck again by terrorists after the June elections when an incendiary bomb was detonated outside of the home of the newly elected Governor of Neveras, Grant Carver. Fortunately, the Carver family was out of the home at the time of the explosion and nobody was harmed, but the home and all of the Carver family possessions within burnt to a crisp during the fire following the explosion. The Maridon division Kalistan Fire Department were quick to react to the explosion, however couldn't make it to the house in time due to heavy traffic and the large distance between the station and the Governor's home.

Police expect this to be an act of terror after multiple witness reports of four shady people wearing Patriotic League campaign clothing loitering around the house who had hastily vacated the area minutes before the explosion. The Maridon and National Police departments are currently searching for people with the following descriptions:
    A tall tanned white man with with short brown hair.
    A pale white woman of average height with long brown hair.
    A tall muscular black man with a shaved head.
    A short portly pale white man with a blonde pony tail, a stubble neckbeard, and a goatee.
The police requests that citizens report any possible clues as to the identities or whereabouts of these suspects.

Governor Grant Carver gave the following statement to reporters:
It seems to me that Kalistan is under siege. Under siege by those who wish to use violence and harm others in order to reach their political goals. I don't know who it is who has decided to attack the NCP and LDP, though I do have my suspicions, but I do know one thing: They will fail. They will force the overwhelming force of all Kalistanis everywhere if they believe they intimidate us into submission. It will be the freedom fighters in the National Assembly, from the UKWF to the LDP, who ensure they never gain political power. It will be our brave police who hunt them down and the courts who ensure just punishment. It will be our mighty military and militias who will face them on the field of battle if it comes to that. It will be us liberty-loving who ensure these forces of evil and tyranny fail on all fronts, for that is our patriotic duty. Today we my be recovering, but tomorrow we will be on the offensive. In Vino Veritas!

The Kenway Program

The Kenway Program or the Federalisation Program is a chain of bills that have and will be introduced by the Liberal Democratic Party during this mandate. Named after President Jason Kenway which is the author and head of this program,the Kenway Program aims to reduce the bloated big-brother government by de-centralising authority. The programs first step has already passed parliament with a total of 166 Votes (LDP-NCP) and the second step has been proposed. Many laws which have been deemed “unfairly universal” and “out of kaliburg’s touch” by the President have now been left to the Local Government’s hands to decide,arguing that Local Governments now whats best for the local population instead of the İnsiders in Kaliburg,the LDP has fully embraced this new Federalist stand-point. The program has also been reported to include economic policy aswell in future bills,which will relax the strain in the Government’s budget and distribute authority to the Local Governments. “A Socialist district for Socialists and a Capitalist district for Capitalists” is the slogan that has been heard among the supporters of the Federalisation Process. President Kenway has been reported to be very satisfied with the progress and cooperation of the National Assembly so far.

The Kenway Program passes Parliament !

After the re-election of Jason Kenway for his Second-Term,the LDP continued the program named after the President and proposed what was called the “Final Federalisation Program” to Parliament.Loud claps were heard in the National Assembly,as The Kenway Program which was a mass federalisation program headed by President Jason Kenway passed the National Assembly with 113 Yes votes (LDP) 103 No votes (UKWF-NCP) and 60 abstain votes (LRP). Jason Kenway was seen celebrating and getting congratulated by LDP Deputies,when asked to comment the President simply said:”This is a historic victory for liberty and self-government”. The Kenway Program’s final provisition saw Healthcare,Education and many other policies left to Local Governments decision. The Liberal Democratic Party has completely accepted and integrated Federalism into its Party Program. State institutions have already begun the reformation process to the new Federalist system. The LDP has called the program “a new era of prosperity and success as the Big-brother system has finally been ended”.

Private Industries Grow; Poverty Falls
Seven Years After their Abrupt Privatization, the Military, Fuel, and Mineral Industries Begin to Stabilize
February 9, 4551
Image

The unsure years of the devastating effects of the Colbertist Omnibus seem to soon be coming to a close, the military, fuel, and mineral industries that have been stabbed by hasty privatization are finally making a recovery and the effects on the working class also seem to be alleviated. These, of course, are due to the action of the government and individual parties who have come together to mend the wounds on the economy and the Kalistani people.

After the privatization of the Colbertist Omnibus in 4544, the industries of the last three public companies (KalMilInCo, KalNaPeCo, and KalNaFerCo) were left doomed and desolate, only inhabited by a few smaller companies that had absolutely no chance of filling their larger comrades' shoes in a fast enough time to save the nations from ruination. Their tides began turn a few years later when numerous wealthy Conservatives banded together to invest in a few promising startups in the suffering industries. To further boost up these important industries, the National Assembly passed a bill in 4547 which would allow the government to grant subsidies to companies in industries deemed imperative to the prosperity of Kalistan. Now, seven years after the Colbertist Omnibus, the military, fuel, and mineral industries look to be on the path to recovery, with gross output of these three industries increasing at about an average of an astronomical 1000% (Times ten). Multiple large companies have won success over their smaller counterparts, the most famous being the military weapons company KalTek which has become the KRF's and CAK's primary supplier of armaments and has begun weapons experimentation.

Top Three Companies in the Booming Industries and their Largest Investor

    Military
    KalTek - Henrik Mosley
    Wilfrid Arms Systems - Kevin Ewart
    Neveras Group - Henrik Mosley

    Fuel
    Carapace - The Government of Kalistan
    Straight Fuels - The Government of Kalistan
    Ployesti Oil - Hubert Smith

    Mineral
    Neveras Mountains Iron Mining Conglomerate - The Government of Kalistan
    FerCorp - Nina Rodriguez-Lopez
    Montes - Garret Thorburn

The effects on the Kalistani worker have also been relieved in recent years. Hundreds of thousands were left unemployed, broke, hungry, and even homeless when the KalMilInCo, KalNaPeCo, and KalNaFerCo abruptly closed and destroyed all of the jobs they had given. These burdens were again relieved by the government and the NCP with their National Relief Program and Conservative Public Relief Program. These two programs worked to create jobs, build new homes, and give food to the hungry among numerous other things. Now, with the boom in the military, fuel, and mineral industries, the jobs that were destroyed upon the closing of KalMilInCo, KalNaPeCo, and KalNaFerCo are predicted to be remade by the end of the decade.

Military and Militias Announce Joint Training
The KRF, CAK, PRG, and LL Make Plans for Year-Long Joint Training Operations

Kalistani Troops Stationed at the Razar Training Fields Take Aim

The Kalistani Regular Forces, Conservative Army of Kalistan, People's Revolutionary Guard, and Liberty Legions have announced their plans to begin a large, four-way joint training operation starting April 4551 and lasting until April 4552. The training will consist of typical military exercises (Target practice, obstacle course, etc) but will also multiple, contained war games across Kalistan similar to those held between the CAK and RSMoK in 4515, but on a larger scale. The troops taking part in the training operations will be mustered in and around the newly built Razar (Vrassa) and Kaliburg (Ananto) Training Grounds, the Fort Harrison Training Center (Odufaray), the Yoshimi Station (Suldanor), and the CAK Neveras Mountain Facility.

General Janet Wesford, the KRF Officer presiding over the operations, gave the following statement to the press:
It's long overdue that the KRF get some training done with the militias, especially the PRG and LL. We've done much training with the RSMoK in the past, and a bit with the CAK as well, but I'm excited to see what these new militias have to offer. I believe we'll see some interesting war games and learn a lot from these operations, we'll see some different scenarios and training depending on the location, the insight we get from the Yoshimi Station war games in particular will teach us all a thing or two about repelling a waterborne assault. Unfortunately we'll only be holding ground exercises, the CAK the only other group with an air force and navy, but they'd easily get crushed. So our flyboys and sailors are gonna have to wait for another time.

Early Elections result in a big win for the LDP

After the re-election for a third-term for Jason Kenway in 4552,the first year of the President went very troubling as party in-fighting between the Kenway bloc and Evan Fatherson and his side blocked progress and continuation of reform. Jason Kenway finally was fed-up with the sabotage from the LDP and declared his resignation from LDP Presidency and called for early elections. The LDP was un-prepared for the call and Kenway thanked his supporters and declared he would retire from Politics however endorsed the Liberal Democratic Party. The LDP failed to reach a consensus for a candidate and instead only focused on the Parliamentary elections. However this resulted in a Major victory for the LDP in which they gained 165 seats of the 275 and got 60% of the vote,the biggest win in LDP history. The influence and support Kenway had truly was an effect on this big win. The LDP has yet to decide on a new President and the LDP council is the ones steering the LDP at the moment.
