Selucia to increase its budget for state expenditures
It will be done after the huge surplus the nation has developed

Finance Minister, Furia Lupis, explaining the new budget on TV.

In Marea-Civis Sinistram promised to take account of the huge surplus Selucia developed after its own taxation reform, during the 1st legislature of Argos Loukas. And now after its victory in the past elections and the conformation of the new Government, the Selucian Minister of Finance, Furia Lupis, has announced on TV the changes that the current budget will experience.

After more than 40 years without touching the budget expenditure (the last one to do so was also In Marea to reduce the waste in Defence and use it in other areas), the new Selucian left government has announced a general increase in expenditure, after the taxation reform deemed beneficial for the nation and brought it a surplus of more than 12,000,000,000 SEN per year.

Some people said that we were crazy when we proposed the taxation reform. Now, these people is silent while we are leading the nation again to a brighter future.
has been the words of Argos Loukas, Caesar of Selucia.

On the TV programme Ardentiaque, a program where all the political news are discussed, the Finance Minister has explained the new spending bill:

First of all, and due to the current situation of Majatra, we cannot forget to protect our own citizens. We did so when we decided to build and renew our navy,
amog the bests of Majatra, and we are doing it now by increasing the Defence budget in 5,000,000,000 SEN, money that will be very well used in this field to keep improving our Defence Forces.

We have also increased in 5,000,000,000 SEN the budget in Infrastructure and Transport, specially now to develop the system for the upcoming 4360 Victoria Terran Olympics, so citizens around Terra can enjoy the best of the best in our nation.

And finally, for Health, Education, Science, Environment and Industry we have increased the budget of each one in 900,000,000 SEN, after Pars Militum Petulantia decided to cut from them in the start of the new century and later there was no way to rise it again. We are finally able to do it, so next months, the General Spending Bill will be passed through the Selucian Senate.


Although In Marea-Civis Sinistram has announced that they'd like to count with the votes of Partis Imperialis, its Government partners, for the approval of the Spending Bill, the 449 seats out of 750 the republican party has are more than enough to approve them on their own.

Cor Patriae under alert
After hurricane Aquilinus destroyed the Pontesian coast, the Selucian government has put the province under alert

After the recent natural disaster happened in the coastal provinces of Bazileum and Septentia in the Pontesian nation, the regional Government of Cor Patriae, leaded by Petunia Laureata, has put the nation under the emergency state, in order to avoid as much as possible any posible fatalities.

With the memories of the Great Insularian Fires, where many Insularian citizens died, the Cor Patrian Government has decided to intervene as soon as possible, by calling the military and stablishing a sound system to alert of any inminent natural disaster approaching the Province.

After what happened in the Pontesian nation due to Hurricane Aquilinus, the Cor Patriae government has decided to act before it is too late. For this reason, we have decided to call the military to exercise extreme caution, and we are installing warning systems by sound to alert of the proximity of the hurricane.

In the same way, we ask citizens, if they have shelters in their homes, to prepare them for a possible need to evacuate the province, and those citizens who do not have them, to contact the local authorities to find out about the closest shelters.


Will Selucia send humanitarian help?

The Caesar of the nation, Argos Loukas, has not announced any kind of official humanitarian help for its neighbours. Both nations, which share a common past and have developed a cordial relationship, and Selucia is known for its neutral position and the offering of humanitarian help all around Terra.

However, in recent years, the Pontesian government has been facing multiple confrontations with the Selucian government over the anti-democratic measures that are being implemented in the neighboring nation. At the moment, it is unknown if both governments have maintained contact to assess the damage and proceed to help.

4360 Terran Games have started!
After more than two centuries without celebrating them, the biggest sport event in Terra has started in Victoria, Selucia.

Opening ceremony at the Victorian Stadium

Victoria has officially welcomed all the Terran nations to the 4360 Terran Olympics, held in the city of Victoria in Insularia. With more than 49 nations taking part, these Games will be the biggest sport event taking part in Terra for centuries, and the Victorian authorities have been working to make sure they'll be remembered for more centuries to come.

The opening ceremony officially began at 9:00 pm Selucian Time Victorian Olympic Stadium, officially opened by Consul Athena Gavrus, accompanied by Caesar Argos Loukas, with live musical performers, including famous Selucian singers Paulus Arborae, Apollonia, Alexandra Agne, Esamibha and Bazyli as the clsing act, with the ceremony attracting a peak viewing audience of over 45 million in Selucia (about half of its population).

With the ceremony lasting for more than 4 hours, people could enjoy the Parade of Nations, 49 nations taking part in these Games, many famous Selucian people made their appearances in the stadium, performing live concerts, gymnastics and fire games, that ended with the pyrotechnia being released and the Games becoming officially opened.

The first competition, swimming, took place this morning, with Cildania, Likatonia and Sekowo getting the first 3 positions, respectively. Selucian swimmers were visibly dissappointed, as it was a dishonour for them to lose a competition about the Selucian national sport. Still, there are 14 more sports to go, and tomorrow we will have basketball!

Selucia reacts to Pontesian news
The Selucian Government has finally confirmed the financial help to Pontesi and has asked all Selucians to move to the embassy

Image

Caesar of Selucia, Argos Loukas, has broken the news this morning by finally announcing the sending of economic aid and medicines for the reconstruction of the areas affected by the last hurricane. The Head of Government has announced that the economic aid will be linked together with those sent by the Alliance of Majatra, and that the medical aid will run from the Selucian national account.

In a brief statement, which reflects the tensions that the governments of both countries have been suffering in recent decades and that have worn out relations between the two nations, the government of Selucia has put an end to rumors about whether the country was going to send aid to the neighboring nation.

Although we do not support the measures of some governments in relation to different issues, the citizens of these countries are not the direct culprits of those actions, just as they can not be blamed for suffering any natural disaster. Therefore, the government of Selucia will send as soon as possible economic and medicinal aid to its neighbor, so that the affected people can recover normality as soon as possible.
says an extract of the statement.

In the same way, the government of the insularian nation has taken advantage of the communique to condemn the violent acts that are taking place throughout Pontesi, calling for peace and stability and asking the government to act as soon as possible. In addition, it has asked all Selucians living in Pontesi to contact the local authorities and go to the national embassies and consulates, in order to be repatriated if the tension increases.

Selucia to declare salary difference illegal nationwide
The central government follows the steps of the Insularian Government

Women taking the streets of Auroria celebrating the legislation in the biggest manifestation ever recorded

Today, Caesar of Selucia Argos Loukas has announced the Senate the proposal of the Government to declare wage inequality between both sexes and any group, regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnic group, sexual identity, nationality or religion illegal nationwide, taking inspiration for the law created and approved by the Insularian government under Ares Zervas.

Now, the prohibition and illegality of wage will differential and stablish that the same work must obtain the same remuneration regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnic group, sexual identity, nationality or the religion, under huge fines if companies break it.

Experts on gender equality have welcomed the measure and hope that Selucian legislation will encourage other nations worldwide to address this scourge. They also underscore the need to combat the lack of policies in favor of women on a global scale.

There is still a long way to go, as Mr. Loukas claimed. He has said that despite 42% of the Selucian Senate made up of women, there is a lack of females in the top of big bussiness and other institutions.

Success can be attributed to the fact that women assume power and create alternatives to the dominant masculine 'truths' and make visible the invisible realities of women, especially discriminatory practices, including sexual harassment and abuse.


The report ends by stressing that "the progress of Selucia can be attributed to the fact that women and men share power among themselves as decision-makers" and that, in addition, more and more "men support gender equality".

After the announcement, that is about to pass the Senate due to the absolute majority of the ruling party In Marea-Civis Sinistram, progressist and feminist groups have encouraged everyone to go on the streets and celebrate all along Selucia, resulting in the biggest marchs ever recorded in the nation, with numbers rounding a million participants in major cities and the collapse of traffic and other places within the nation.

We have taken the first step. Now it's time to make it real. If companies don't take us seriously, they will see. This legislation is about to be passed in our national chamber, and once it is done, we will do everything in our hands to make sure it is accomplished.

Selucia to welcome Deltarian Head of Government
Nations will retake diplomatic contacts

After centuries without formal contacts between the governments of Deltaria and Selucia, local newspapers have announced the scheduled meeting between Caesar Argos Loukas and Prime Minister Kamil Novák.

The meeting, planned by Deltaria as part of its reintegration and development project with the rest of Majatran nations, was accepted by the Selucian Head of Government.

This meeting is an important step for Deltarian foreign position, and is an act of the willingness of its new coalition government to leave behind the terrible period that the nation has lived during past decades. For this reason, the Selucian government, as a democratic and neutral body, is more than open to receive this delegation,
and to further discuss issues about investment and closer relations between both nations, that have left their relationship broken during the past centuries.

At the same time, if the Deltarian Head of State, Mr. Norbert II Von Thaller, decides to travel to the nation, it will be the duty of Mrs. Athena Gavrus to receive him with the highest honours.
