President Resigns
Court Minister Talebi Steps Up
December 4371

Image
Acting President Talebi

After 10 days of non-stop protests and riots, President Kaveh Kermani has handed in his resignation as head of state. The President who was just four months shy of completing his five year term found himself unable to command the Army to combat the protesters and rioters, deeming it to be "uncivilised." As per the Constitution, the vacancy created by his resignation was filled by his Court Minister Damash Talebi. Talebi, 61 is an experienced ex-civil servant who has served in his post since Kermani's election in 4367. A passionate republican, Talebi was one of the leaders of the 4348 republican revolution and has little stomach for compromise calling rioters "simple thugs and criminals". He has commanded the Army to begin deploying into cities and other strategic installations. The protests continue with reports of clashes between ultra-nationalists and pro-republican counter-protesters. Elections are to held in February with Talebi expected to win easily as Congress remains the country's only real national party.

Army Quells Protests
December 4371

The Armed Forces have managed to quiet down a series of violent protests and riots across southern Aldegar. Around 60,000 troops had been deployed in major population centers and highway links. Dozens have been injured in clashes between the mainly ultra-nationalist protesters and republican counter-protesters, particularly in the capital Aldegaria which is a liberal enclave in a solidly conservative south. The Army reports that 22 people were injured while around 800 protesters were detained in its operations across the country and that only 8,000 people remain protesting.

The Army in accepting to save the republic, finds its influence at its peak. President Damash Talebi's appointment of a former army chief of staff as his Defence Minister points to an acknowledgement that the republic needs the full support of the Army to last. Most commanders tend to be conservative but like many moderate monarchists, prefer to advance conservative goals within the republic. The recent upheaval has shocked law and order conservatives leading many to throw their support behind the republic. As such the radical ultra-monarchists found themselves isolated on the streets and many have returned home, disappointed at what they view to be a betrayal by moderates. The monarchist movement's lack of leadership contrasted poorly with President Talebi's uncompromising stance and determination to save the republic.

Aldegar Welcomes Hawu Capture Of Tropican Pirates

Aldegarian Foreign Minister Jamshid Amanpour has sent a congratulatory note to his Hawu counterpart following his country's capture of 11 pirates in the South Anantonese Ocean. Amanpour said he hoped that this would be the beginning of an international campaign against piracy in the high seas and possibly the stabilisation of Tropica. The region, he noted, was a major trade route between the old and new Terra and any tardiness regarding anti-piracy could negatively affect some of the poorest nations in Terra. Amanpour said that his country would make extradition requests only if the captured pirates were proven to be linked to the disappearance of the 24 member crew of the Little Shahbanu.

Mobedan Mobed Anosh Abbasi rescinds Ahadist recognition of republican
constitution, triggering new riots

Yazdist clerics across Aldegar have been energized by the ascension of Mobedan Mobed Anosh Abbasi

PĀYTAKHT-E ALDEGĀR, Kemoku - The 4371 death of Mobedan Mobed (high priest) Arsaces Bhutto, who had
controversially endorsed the nascent Aldegarian Republic in 4368, has been the source of great unrest across Aldegar,
with the army quelling what has been called an outright rebellion in the nation's south in late 4371.

The ascension of a new, younger, and more conservative Mobedan Mobed this year has meant a rekindling of tensions
dormant for nearly three years, with mass protests and rioting once again reported in the satraps of Kemoku and Polran.
The Mobedan Mobed, Anosh Abbasi, rose to fame by denouncing the Republic as "failed" and "inconsistent with the
teachings of Yazdism."

Image
The Fire Temples of Kemoku and Polran satraps have been centers of a new resistance to republicanism in Aldegar

"We see in the Republic the disorder and chaos of Duzakh, the Malevolent, the Rebellious, the Darkness. We have seen
men denuded of their reason and blinded by their greed. It is outside of the warmth of Yazdān and the brightness of
the Eternal Flame that mankind is drawn into anarchy and violence, and it is our purpose to purify ourselves and our
state" stated the Mobedan Mobed to a congregation of devout in the satrapy of Polran.

In light of the Mobedan Mobed's call, and in the apparent absence of military intervention against their protests,
Yazdists have begun to rally into political parties, several of which have gained national followings and seek to
participate in the coming elections. The Party of Righteousness (Ald.: Hezb-e Savab) is foremost among
these, having already garnered the support of several thousand men and women across Aldegar.
Just a bunch of shit.

Yazdists crown Shah Kurosh Kasād, revoke republican constitution;
markets tumble, bank holiday declared

Yazdist artwork depicting Shah Kurosh and Mobedan Mobed Anosh Abbasi has seen a resurgence across Aldegar

PĀYTAKHT-E ALDEGĀR, Kemoku - The Eternal Flame in Yazdist fire temples across Aldegar illuminates a surge of new
artwork depicting Mobedan Mobed Anosh Abbasi, now Vizier of Aldegar, and Kurosh Kasād, the man crowned Shah of
Aldegar by the Yazdist church after the rapid ascension of the Ahadist-affiliated political party Hezb-e Savab.

Shah Kurosh (Lut.: Cyrus) was a relatively little known man descended of a noble family native to Kasād in the southern
satrapy of Polran prior to his enthronement. Political analysts across the nation are working furiously to analyze his few
past public statements, but with little clarity on the manner in which the Shah will exercise power alongside his
Vizier or the newly-created Council of Nobles, Aldegarian financial markets dipped sharply downward. The Ministry of
Finance, led by Sara Charmchi, announced a three day bank holiday, "the Shah's Days", a thinly veiled move to attempt
to stem the bleeding.

Thus far international shipping through the vital Aldegar Canal has been unaffected by the events.

Republican protesters across are being given every opportunity to disperse following the government's revocation of
the republican constitution, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Live video streams broadcast by
protesters in the capitol and elsewhere appear to show considerable violence on the part of government forces, but
spokespeople for the government insist that police and military forces are exercising all due restraint.
Just a bunch of shit.

Shah Kurosh sends soiled Hutorian flag to new monarch Alexander, who
pretends to title "Shah of Aldegar"

Image

PĀYTAKHT-E ALDEGĀR, Kemoku - Shah Kurosh of Aldegar has caused an international stir by sending a soiled Hutorian
flag to the new monarch of that nation, Alexander I, who has insisted upon claiming the title "Shah of Aldegar", a title
which his grandmother never held and which has been called "patently nonsensical" by experts across Aldegar, despite
an extremely tenuous claim.

The move by Shah Kurosh, his first major international move since his ascension, has been met with wide popular
acclaim in Aldegar, where there is a long history of resentment (as in many Seleyan nations) for the continued
meddling of Artanian states and dynasties in Seleya. Luthori, the prototypical imperialist nation and the other nation
now under Alexander I's rule, long held sway against popular opinion in the Seleyan nations of Alduria and Mordusia.

"The age of Artanian imperialism on Seleya is long ended," a statement from the Shah's office began in explanation of
the Shah's controversial action. "Valruzia, Mordusia, Baltusia, the Canrillaise nations, Aldegar; we will no longer
tolerate the pretensions of Luthorian and Hutorian tyrants on this continent. The Shah, passionate and full of Yazdan's
righteous fire, has made eminently clear the status of the Steuart-Carmichael claim to any Aldegarian throne. We
demand that that house rescind its claim, or the government of Aldegar will take further action."

Field attacks "Pretender-Shah"
The rebellious backbencher turns his guns against "Pretender-Shah" Kurosh

17 May 4379

Image
Mr. Michael Field speaking in the Diet

FORT WILLIAM, ORANGE - Michael Field MID, rebellious backbencher and archconservative, has turned his guns against Aldegarian Shah Kurosh following the latter's desecration of a Hutorian flag in protest of the Steuart-Carmichael claim to the Aldegarian throne. A devout Hosian who has described himself as the successor to the Democratic Unionist Party and Covenanters of the 2000s, Field has come under the spotlight in the past for his views perceived by some as anti-Aurorian Patriarchal and anti-Ahmadist.

Speaking in the Diet during a debate on the actions of the Aldegarian government, Field described Kurosh as being "a Pretender-Shah, a peasant pulled out of nowhere to be the puppet of religious extremists" to much support and applause from around the chamber. Continuing his speech to address the statement provided by the "Pretender-Shah's" office, Field stated that "monarchist sentiment in Alduria, the equal of Luthori in our ancient union, grows every day - the pretender should note monarchists already form the government there". "Monarchism was so unpopular that the Mordusian people elected royalist parties for over 200 years in free and fair democratic elections", he continued.

The Association of Aldegarians in Hutori and Luthori - an organisation formed by Aldegarian monarchists who fled the country following the fall of the Bahramids - has released a statement in support of Mr. Field.

VINCIGUERRA: ANY ATTACK ON ALDEGAR WILL BE CONSIDERED AS AN ATTACK ON THE SELEYAN UNION AND THEREFORE, AN ATTACK ON VALRUZIA
Nowogard, November 4380

Image
Valruzian Minister for Foreign Affairs Izabella Vinciguerra.

NOWOGARD - Valruzian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Izabele Vinciguerra, has decided to, for the first time, unveil the position of the Republic of Valruzia in the Aldegarian throne crisis, and announced that Valruzia will not tolerate any form of ultimatums on any Member State of the Seleyan Union. Vinciguerra, who is a well-known supporter of the Seleyan integration, said that Aldegar can count for support of the Republic of Valruzia and the Seleyan Union, of which Aldegar is a rightful Member State. Valruzian Minister publically condemned the Hutori for military threats made against Aldegar and announced that together with Ministry of National Defense of the Republic, Ministry for Foreign Affairs has decided to send a joint delegation to Aldegaria in order to express the support and discuss all scenarios, even those involving an active military defense. The crisis in Aldegar has coincided in time with the plans of Nowogard to establish a multinational corps of the Seleyan Union, which would be the formal execution of the Article 7 of the Treaty on the Seleyan Union, which according to the Treaty is not only an economic Union but a defensive one as well. Initially, Nowogard wanted to include only four countries in the Multinational Corps - Seleya North, but in the light of recent events Nowogard might broaden the proposal and propose joining to the MC-SN to the Government in Aldegaria. Vinciguerra also said that the threats of Hutori are truly regrettable and that the decision should lie within hands of the People of Aldegar. Minister Vinciguerra said that she understands the claim of Alexander I to the Aldegarian throne, but said that any form of military attack and threats made against Aldegar, puts Hutori in the hostile position, and that by endangering Aldegar, it forces other Member States of the SU to act.

It is the first time that the Republic of Valruzia officially takes any position in the crisis on the line Aldegaria - Bekenial. But apparently, the military threats made against Aldegar worked as a catalyst and encouraged Nowogard to move forward and defend Aldegar. Valruzia which for the last one and a half decade was the biggest and most active advocate of the Seleyan integration has proposed multiple solutions to secure the Seleyan Union from external threats like this, but due to the little interest from the other Member States, the Union was largely limited to the economic cooperation. This crisis may act as a catalyst and convince the other Member States that in order for the Seleya to be treated seriously it needs to be something more than just an economic union. In her statement, Vinciguerra promised that Aldegar will not be left alone with its struggle and that in any case of any military attack against Aldegar, Valruzia would defend Aldegar as this attack would be considered as an attack against Seleyan Union, therefore as an attack on the Republic of Valruzia. Vinciguerra announced that Valruzia will not stand down on this issue and will use this situation as a chance to show that the Seleyan Union should be treated with respect and unlike "the failed Artanian Union" The Member States of the Seleyan Union can and will defend themselves. According to Vinciguerra, the government of other nations seems to forget that Seleyan Union is a powerful and fully functioning community which next to economic cooperation, also includes the collective self-defense. The aforementioned Article 7 says that the Member States shall establish a collective defensive force in order to defend the Union as a whole, and that is what Vinciguerra is trying to improve. By establishing the Multinational Corps, Valruzia wants to create a rapid response unit in order to protect the Union from external threats.

VALRUZIA PUTS FORWARD THE MULTINATIONAL CORPS PROPOSAL
Nowogard, April 4381

Image
Proposed logo of the Multinational Corps - Seleya North

NOWOGARD - It seems like Nowogard not willing to give up the momentum it gained with Minister's Izabela Vinciguerra bold response to the Hutorian military threats made against Aldegar, now sees it as a perfect opportunity to implement some measures strengthening the Seleyan Union. In a stepped-up process, the Valruzian Ministry for Foreign Affairs has prepared the Convention on the Multinational Corps - Seleya North which would be responsible for protecting the Seleyan Union. Apparently, Valruzia and Lodamun have already come up to an agreement and Lodamun was the first to announce its participation in the project. Basically, what Nowogard is trying to do is to fully implement the Article 7 of the Treaty on Seleyan Union, which says that the Member States will set up a defense force to protect the Union as a whole, to life. With more and more threats to the Seleyan Union, Nowogard wants to establish a collective defense unit which will be able to quickly respond to any threats against Seleyan Union, as well act as a deterrent for its hostiles. Analysts say that the formation will enable the Seleyan Union to influence countries like Likatonia and Saridan which in recent years turned hostile towards the Union. The MC-SN will especially give the Seleyan Union a way to at least try to influence the authorities in Saridan which in recent months have decided to turn Saridan into a rouge-like state with slavery and slave-trade legalized. With numerous reports from Council of Seleya and Gloria Iustitia calling for a quick response to the situation in Saridan, which according to Gloria Iustitia has become the most oppressive state in Seleya, and successively denies Gloria Iustitia and Council of Seleya observers the right to monitor the situation in the country, it is certain that the upcoming months will be deciding whether the Member States will take a larger responsibility on their shoulders.

According to sources connected with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the joint committee of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Ministry of National Defense has agreed to put Hel as the proposed headquarters for the new organization (under the jurisdiction of the Seleyan Union). Multinational Corps of the Seleyan Union would be responsible for monitoring the international situation and be tasked with rapid response to threats made against the Seleyan Union, as well taking part in different international operations. Vinciguerra believes that the recent crisis between Aldegar and Hutori will push other Members of the Seleyan Union to take part in the process and that Seleyan Union will be finally able to effectively defend itself from external threats. As for the numbers, it is not certain how many soldiers and what sort of equipment will be assigned to the Multinational Corps - Seleya North, but it is certain that it will include all three basic branches of the military force: land forces, air force, and the navy. According to sources connected with MOND, Valruzia is ready to assign as much as 8 thousand soldiers to permanent duty within the Corps. Valruzia puts its hopes to increased cooperation with its neighbors, its largest economic partner - the State of Baltusia, Democratic Republic of Lodamun, Federal Union of Gaduridos and the Democratic Republic of Tukarali. Despite the initial plan to only include Valruzia, Lodamun, Baltusia, and Gaduridos in the Corps, Nowogard has decided that more broad solution is necessary and has decided to invite other states mainly Aldegar and Tukarali.
