President Lau Resigns, VP Yuen Rises to the Top
Unpopular and ineffective executive orders incited great public anger against Lau
8 March 4487

Vice President Yuen Yu

Dalibor City, Dalibor: Disgraced President Lau Hong has officially announced his resignation today, putting an end to one-year of disharmonious policies that have caused major unrest throughout the capital and a rise in violent crime targeting every day citizens. A fierce campaign was launched against President Lau only a matter of weeks into his tenure, a reaction to his quick implementation of misguided anti-corruption and intellectual property laws that only sought to entrench his personal power at the expense of the people. Backed by the Tian Long Tong Triad, opponents of the president, including the Mayor of Dalibor City, effectively crippled the power of the executive and President Lau's laws have gone completely unenforced all across the island. And now, finally after ten months of disputes with Dalibor City leaders and a continually dropping approval rating, Lau has stepped down from the presidency, handing over leadership to the legislature-elected vice president, Yuen Yu.

Taking on the role of Acting President, Yuen is a long-time business leader in Dalibor City, formerly leading the regional office for Lim Son Ah Properties before moving on to become Vice President of the Bank of Gangzhou, one of the nation's leading financial institutions. Through numerous partnerships with community leaders, Yuen has expanded lending access for citizens of the Outlands and has been a strong advocate for widespread aggressive economic development. Yuen has a clear interest in continuing in the presidency in an official role come next elections and he plans to immediately get to work upon taking office today.

At the top of Yuen's agenda is a complete repeal of his predecessor's meaningless executive orders and from there, President Yuen has prioritized port expansion in Dalibor City in order to facilitate greater export of goods to neighboring nations. On the domestic front, Yuen hopes to work with the Legislative Assembly to craft more business-friendly labor laws that will open up new economic opportunities for all people, especially the underprivileged people of the Outlands. Additionally, with Lau's absurd intellectual property law thrown out, businesses have already been able to put confidence in their ability to move operate at their full potential and produce goods that will be highly competitive in export markets.

Huiseyan Groups Hosts Annual Conference
Shrouded in secrecy and protected by violent mercenaries, global elite gather to celebrate their power.
30 October 4487
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Gangzhou, Dalibor: As is tradition, powerful elite have gathered on the small island of Huiseyan, convening to likely discuss their conquests, exploits, and plots. Guarded by total secrecy it is not even known for sure who attends this annual meeting or even has the slightest affiliation with the Huiseyan Group. While the international guest list is the greater mystery, it is less difficult to make the assumption that Dalibor's ever corrupt government officials have a presence at the event and certainly the leading triads have a role as well. Every year it is the same story, those who attempt to learn more about the event are "dealt with" by the local crime lords or, if they somehow get to the northern coast, they are murdered by trigger-happy guns-for-hire. Nonetheless, we remain committed to uncovering the secrets of the Huiseyan Group, exposing it to the public along with all of its affiliates. We will not be silenced.

Communist Terrorists Arrested in Gangzhou
Aligned with the Workers' Party, 10 terrorists were arrested for amassing weapons and plotting a coup.
31 October 4487
____________________________________________________________________________________________

Dalibor City, Dalibor: Authorities received information relating to the presence of a suspicious group in an area of Gangzhou and it turns out that it was a terrorist operation aligned with the Workers' Party. Upon arrival at their makeshift facility, police had to neutralize eleven of the terrorists as they attempted to assault the law enforcement officers. Another ten were captured and are now held by the government for questioning. Many weapons were found at the site and it is clear that they were plotting a violent coup and totally destabilize the nation. Hard drives were also recovered from the location, revealing the exchange of false propaganda and dissemination of various conspiracy theories. While there has been initial concern about the presence of such a group near Dalibor City, the public has been reassured that there is minimal threat and that the government has partnered with an endless number of organizations in a successful campaign against radicalism and other subversive activities.

Dalibor: Gateway to Dovani
The government has launched a new publicity campaign to attract visitors and boost the tourism economy
19 March 4488
________________________________________________________________________________________

The volcanic Mount Huojuren located in the western-central region of the Outlands.

Dalibor City, Dalibor: The Dalibor Tourism Organization has unveiled the “Gateway to Dovani” tourism campaign, its newest initiative to attract foreign visitors to the island. The campaign especially focuses on Indrala, as Dalibor has historically served as a connection point between that nation and Dovani. Advertising also focuses on other southward regions that often transit through or near Dalibor along the way to the Dovanian mainland.

Highlighted in the “Gateway to Dovani” campaign are the spectacular casinos of Dalibor City and other venues, such as theatres and unique shopping districts. The initiative also promotes ecotourism, showing off the preserved natural beauty of much of the Outland region and the opportunity to experience a variety of outdoor adventures.

In conjunction with the campaign the government has added resources to improve infrastructure connections from Dalibor City to two newly established “jungle resorts” located in the nearby outskirts of the capital. President Yu Yuen has also expressed his interest in the construction of the world’s largest bridge, directly connecting Dalibor to Hanzen. The Foreign Ministry has reached out to the eastern neighbor but has not yet had any formal discussions on the idea.

Earthquake Rocks Dalibor
A 5.8 magnitude struck the northwestern region, felt all across the island.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Dalibor City, Dalibor: Residents of Dalibor City were awoken early this morning by a moderate magnitude earthquake that shook the entire island. Its epicenter was located in the northeastern region in the vicinity of the Mount Huojuren and has immediately raised concerns of volcanic activity. The government is observing the situation but does not believe there to be any major threat to important population centers. And as for today's earthquake there are no major reports of damages and the greatest strength of the earthquake was strictly within the Outlands.

University of Gangzhou to be Privatized and Online-Only
Aiming for greater innovation and access, Dalibor's sole university will be privatized and digitized.
22 April 4491
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Image

Dalibor City, Dalibor: The government is considering proposals for the privatization of the University of Gangzhou, the nation's only publicly-funded educational institution. In consultation with innovative business leaders and entrepreneurs, President Yuen Yu has given his endorsement to the general idea of privatization and the next step will be selection of a formal plan for transitioning to private status. It is believed that as a private institution, the university will be able to operate more efficiently and take greater risks for greater reward. Of particular interest is a privatization proposal which would implement more business-like processes for the institution and begin transitioning much of its curricular offerings into a fully online platform. This proposal already seems to have won the favor of President Yuen and will likely be what is done for the university.

Yingu Airport Project Remains Stalled
Despite appeals to President Yuen, Dalibor City still refuses to provide support to Outland development.
19 April 4491
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Image

Yingu, The Outlands: With each year the Yingu airport has become increasingly dilapidated, with what little was built crumbling to pieces and being destroyed in storms. The construction of an airport in Yingu, first initiated over two decades ago, was quickly abandoned by a government which has repeatedly shown greater concern with appeasing capitalist and triad interests rather than serving its people. As consequence the Outlands remained overlooked and entirely ignored by not just Dalibor but by the entire world as outgoing media remains in the hands of state interests. The largest city of the Outlands, in this modern age, continues to rely on the waterways to reach to the outside world and conduct all commercial activity. No air connections and what aging roadways do exist throughout the Outlands lay in disrepair. Local officials in Yingu have continued to make attempts at independently expanding the infrastructure capacities of the city but have found little success, lacking money, expertise, and materials. And meanwhile, as much as the government in Dalibor City likes to dismantle as many of its responsibilities as possible, it somehow still finds the time to block attempts by Yingu officials to receive foreign investment.

Western City Wall Approved for Construction
Enhancing public safety, the wall will help protect residential communities from Outland dangers.

Dalibor City, Dalibor: Private developers have received approval for the construction of a wall along the city limits of western Dalibor City. A highly residential area, many in the area have long lobbied for such a project with hopes of putting greater separation between their homes and the dangers that come from The Outlands. Whether it be criminal elements or just simply hostile wildlife, the city walls will create an environment of greater public safety. The government may consider extension of the walls to encircle most of Dalibor City and Gangzhou.

Dalibor City, Dalibor: The 89-year old Indralan billionaire Zhou Wai-fung has officially opened Dalibor City’s newest casino. Through collaboration with Lim Son Ah Properties and local Daliborian investors, the Imperial Palace Casino has already turned heads for its elaborate and palatial design. With the appearance of a Western palace, the halls of gold and crystal are lined with portraits of prominent monarchs of the past and present. And within the floor of the central hallway are actual gold bars. Much like Dalibor City’s other major casinos, in addition to offering 24-hour gambling, the Imperial Palace will operate as a hotel and entertainment venue.

BREAKING: Mt. Huojuren Erupts, Widespread Destruction
An explosion felt well beyond Dalibor, Huojuren has left the Western Outlands engulfed in flames and the nation in darkness
31 August 4492
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Image

Yingu, The Outlands: Dark ash clouds have covered most of Dalibor following the enormous eruption of Mount Huojuren earlier this morning. Shaking all of Dalibor and reportedly even causing tremors as far away as Kimlien and southern Indrala, the destructive impact of this event has already become clear. And as lava and giant ash clouds still continue to spew from the volcano, airspace around Dalibor has become impassible and shifting clouds are expected to likely cause major delays, and even cancellations, for flights in Indrala and Hanzen. However, the greatest and most deadly impact of Huojuren's eruption is in The Outlands. City officials in Yingu have made numerous unsuccessful attempts to get in radio contact with residents of Huibaigu, the largest settlement near the mountain. Appeals have been made to President Yuen Yu for a response to the ongoing destruction in the western Outlands but instead the President was spotted hosting an elaborate lunch meeting with casino and hotel representatives in central Dalibor City. The government's contracted defense operators are also unresponsive citing no orders to currently take action in The Outlands. And so the state of Huibaigu remains unknown and based on limited imagery made available by drone, there appears to be widespread destruction in and around the volcano. In addition to the continued lava flows and spread ash clouds, forest fires are growing in the region, spreading to smaller villages that are located further from Huojuren.

Associated earthquake tremors have caused moderate damage in other areas of the island, most notably in other communities of the western Outlands. Some damage has also been observed in Yingu although nowhere near the scale of loss for the west. Kai Kaleo, known by many as the "Prince of Yingu," has worked alongside Yingu officials in trying to ascertain the well-being of western Outlanders and within the past hour he departed on a old military helicopter alongside personal guards en route to Dalibor City. Kai is reportedly seeking to confront the central government on their lack of emergency response and he is also scheduled to meet with leading private military contractors to hire an independent rescue team. Before departing one PMC has already been wired funds from Kai, hiring a team of mercenaries to embark on a rescue mission in The Outlands for any affected civilians they can find. Mayor Chan Heng of Yingu continues to oversee an ad hoc group attempting to make contact with western communities and requests have also been sent out asking for international assistance from neighboring nations.

At the time of this publication, defense contractors in Dalibor City have put the city on what is essentially a lock down, closing off roadways leading to the Outlands and ramping up security along the newly constructed city wall. President Yuen has departed his lunch meeting and has expressed no interest in meeting with any representatives coming from the Outlands. A city-wide alert has just been issued in Dalibor City advising citizens to wear masks and to stay indoors. All flights at the city's airport have been cancelled and the Dalibor Tourism Organization has offered affected tourists free accommodations until the skies clear. Otherwise there remains no response for The Outlands or its residents.

President Yuen Dismisses Foreign Critics
Relying on disinformation of rebel media, foreign agencies are contributing to a false crisis.
1 September 4492
________________________________________________________________________________________

Dalibor City, Dalibor: Foreign organizations have taken to criticizing the Daliborian government for not taking action following the eruption of Mount Huojuren, all while relying on disinformation spread by underground groups associated with lawless rebels and criminals. President Yuen Yu has assured the nation that the volcanic eruption is of no major concern beyond the ash clouds which have reduced air quality and stalled flights in and out of Dalibor City. "The eruption is a natural event which has occurred on the island before and the lava flows which are impacting the sparsely populated Outlands are of little threat. This is the natural way of the planet and there is nothing we can do to prevent such events. We must simply carry on and not buy into the hysteria that subversives are attempting to create in order to destabilize and destroy the nation."

Outlanders in Revolt

Destruction caused in an Outland village by a lahar from Mount Huojuren

Gangzhou, Dalibor: While thousands are presumed dead in The Outlands, it has been business as usual in Dalibor City as the privileged elite enjoy the luxury and safety of the capital. President Yuen Yu and the state media have been dismissive the impact of the eruption of Huojuren, even as ash clouds loom over the island and international groups respond to the region. At most the government has issued advisories for the capital city and granted foreign tourists free nights in luxury hotels to compensate for cancelled flights. Meanwhile, not shockingly, The Outlands have been ignored and Huibaigu is now known to have been completely destroyed with most of its residents killed. Smoke still billows from Huojuren and forest fires a spreading throughout the western Outlands. This ongoing tragedy has, however, been an awakening and the destruction of Huibaigu was a call to action for all Outlanders. From the fires of Mount Huojuren has come an Outlander uprising, an insurrection against Dalibor City.

Mayor Chan Heng of Yingu with the aid of the House of Kai has enlisted the help of impassioned Outlanders, hired private military, and revolutionary fighters to take up arms against the current system, demanding equality for the Outlands and an advancement of quality of life for all Daliborians. In the west, the Dongru village headman Guo Yaling has joined in Yingu’s call to action, as have most other major Outland settlements.

Workers at a textile factory on the outskirts of Dalibor City walked out in protest, even in spite of threats from triad bosses. Similar scenes have been witnessed at other city region factories, known for poor working conditions, low pay, and general exploitative practices. Meanwhile, protesters, led on by ringleaders associated with the banned Workers’ Party of Dalibor, have set up camp on the Turtle Bay bridge that links Dalibor City and Gangzhou. The government’s main military contractor has reportedly been “mildly uncooperative” with President Yuen, rejecting certain assignments which they have allegedly deemed “a waste of time” for their mercenaries.

Nonetheless, the government’s hired guns remain on watch throughout Dalibor City and President Yuen has increased security for himself and members of his ruling National Solidarity Party. An early legislative draft has been released for the creation of small formal military force, a reaction to the lack of total compliance from the government’s preferred private military company. The Legislative Assembly is scheduled to move forward on the legislation as soon as possible and the President has already embarked on a personal mission to recruit his party’s most loyal and enthusiastic supporters.

Mass Resignation in Government
12 September 4492
________________________________________________________________________________________

Dalibor City, Dalibor: A number of central government officials have suddenly handed in their resignation, cutting ties with President Yuen Yu and the chaos which is spreading across the island. Also among the resignations were numerous members of the National Solidarity Party-controlled Legislative Assembly, which stopped all legislative processes earlier this week and announced a immediate recess. Members of the opposition have denounced the recess and are accusing President Yuen of a power-grab. However, the president has been caught off guard by the events in the legislature and even his own party seems to be making moves against him. Even state media, the Dalibor Daily News, have refused to cooperate with the president and declared an intention to cease all publications until stability is restored.

While the city is increasingly turning against President Yuen, there also remains a united consensus to protect the integrity of the capital from a rapidly deteriorating situation in The Outlands. The number of refugees appearing at the city walls is rising and, with the financial support of the capital's many wealthy residents, private military contractors have not struggled in finding business as protectors of the city borders. There are rumors that the National Solidarity Party is seeking to split from Yuen's leadership and is allegedly in talks with prominent triad leaders and Dalibor Company representatives regarding the future of Dalibor City. In other strange news, President Yuen is traveling today to a sudden meeting on the secretive northern island of Huiseyan, site of the annual conference of anonymous power holders and global influencers. With knowledge of Yuen's visit, this is the first time the identity has been known of anyone attending to functions on that island.
