Ezoko Xenakis Officially Dissolves the Holy Party

After existing for 96 years, President Xenakis and several notable members of the Holy Party dissolve the political party.
Founded in 4275 as the political wing of the Fenikso's Holy Order, the Holy Party has had a great impact within the Republic during the late 4200s and throughout the 4300s.
Why end it? Three reasons: inside, outside, and money.

During a speech in 4355, President Martio Delokante was famously quoted in saying "The Holy Party has a good ideas, but so does the voter."
During an interview in 4363, Party Leader Genethlio Kolera said "The Holy Party is compared to a Phoenix, but right now it looks like a dead horse that the Orderists keep beating."
And the 75th Convention last year, former party member Chudari Zanta said "The Holy Party is honestly not Holy and not a Party, it's a circle jerk of the rich and the so-called nobility."

These are the statements are on the internal affairs of the SPR, which has been in a state of decline since the late 4350s. The party has lacked leadership ever since Ludoviko Rozakora left office in 4352, the party fractured as various factions within the party began to isolate themselves. Martio Delokante and his followers wanted the party to move in a more moderate direction, supporting progressive ideas and democratic values. But this contrasted the view held by Dedius Fenikso and his followers, they wished for the Holy Party to become more radical, supporting imperialist ideas and supporting the noble class. This struggle harmed the party from the internally, and lead to the creation of splinter groups such as the Nacia Unio-Partio and the Zardio Nova Patrioto Partio.

Outside the party voters began to feel alienated. The duopoly of government lead to slight decrease in turnout during the 4360 election. People in the state of Ingomo felt betrayed as the SPR watered down its message of restoration. This caused support for independent parties to increase throughout Zardugal. During the 4364 election, the party had failed at finding a supporting base and lost many seats within the assembly. This has discouraged many members of the party, having many leave after the lose.

Lastly, the Party has faced numerous financial issues in resent years. Will a sharp fall in popularity, the Party has found it difficult to raise grassroots donations, which has made up 1/3 of the party's finances since it's inception. Also the Holy Party's corporate donations have also fallen. Companies like Maksimuma and Visocia have cut funding to party as corporate lobbyists have been arrested for collusion with known Orderist terrorists, as well as bribery of members of the SPR.

So what does this mean for current members of the Holy Party?
Xenakis has annouced the formation of an new moderate party called the "Independent Republic Party" but many former SPR members are upset with the change. This lead to a major walk out during in the Assembly as 16 members of the Holy Party left. It seems that the party has died before it can even truly form.

REINVIGORATED FOREIGN POLICY SHOWS

In a sign of a renewed Zardic foreign interest, the Foreign Minister Abraam Vakhvakhishvili conducted a bold five nation tour, a mix of historic Zardic allies with new diplomatic outreach. The five nation tour included Cildania, Aldegar, Dankuk, Lodamun, and Klavia, with the trip called a solid success for the government and foreign policy establishment. The trip started in Cildania with a push to reingiorate the historic friendship between the two countries. In bilateral discussions with Cildanian Foreign Minister Robert Langefort and other members of the government the Foreign Minister Vakhakhishvili and his team agreed to keep relations strong and both sides made firm their commitment to a solid international partnership. After concluding discussions the the Foreign Minster, the Zardic delegation met with President Guzeppi Vella in proceedings which were called productive. He too reaffirmed the importance of Cildanian-Zardic relations and both sides agreed to deepen the relationship.

After completing the visit in Cildania, the Foreign Minister proceeded to a ground breaking visit in Aldegar, where met with senior leadership over 2 days of talks and meetings. The hosts were more than receptive, with exceptional courtesy noted from Aldegarian Foreign Minister Jamshid Amanpour. Both foreign ministers met and agreed on the historic nature of the visit and pledged to further develop the relationship in a positive and respectful manner. This is to date the highest level visit and contact between the governments of the two countries and it went off without a hitch. The future looks absolutely promising between the countries.

Keeping up with the groundbreaking nature of the trip, the Foreign Minister proceeded from Aldegar to Dankuk, a nation not usually accorded high priority, in a region long neglected by Zardic diplomacy. But it is the view of the Foreign Ministry to change this and give Dankuk, and Northern Dovani more attention. The Foreign Minister was warmly received by the Foreign Minister of Dankuk, David Evans in excellent fashion and the subsequent days of meetings and exchanges showcased a drive by both sides to improve relations. Of note, discussions were reportedly underway to author a treaty to specifically improve bilateral relations between the two. The trip was surrounded in an aura of goodwill and positive feelings.

In perhaps one of the most striking visits, the Foreign Minister had a truly groundbreaking trip to Lodamun, a long time historical antagonist to the Zards. However with changes in both governments, and a new, more positive atmosphere, both sides are making a push to better relations. Both foreign ministers met each other and held productive meetings and talks about a variety of issues relating to a new era of positive bilateral relations. Progress and a firm groundwork were laid in bringing the two nations closer together.

To cap off the impressive five nation diplomatic tour, the Foreign Minister visited Klavia (formerly Keymon) for several days and talks about reinvigorating the bilateral relationship that Zardugal deeply values. The island country has long played an outsized roll in Zardic strategic planning and thinking, and the extra attention given to the government underscores the value the Zards have in seeing this relationship succeed. Unconfirmed reports indicate the Zards slowly pushed reopening their former Naval Station on the island and possibly basing strategic and intelligence aircraft their for a forward deployed presence in central and north Terra. Other aspects of the trip included strengthening economic and cultural ties with promises of more exchanges of students for education and other groups.

Construction of Fenikso City Nears Completion
By LIBRO Center of News and Reports

Image

After 4 years of work, Fenikso City begins completion.
With the help of several companies, the Orderist Church began the construction of a new city on the delta of the Corious River in March of 4375.
Plans were made to end the project after the Confederate Party took control of government, but the project continued undisturbed.

This city will be Zardugal's center of culture. The city will invest in the arts, music, theater, and will bring millions of dollars into our nation! Although I doubt the reps in Beleco will see its potential, I believe our citizens do.

--- Representative Antono Kampo (Former member of People's Party)

Megistido Lanches Military Offensive in Jelbania
Beleco Chronicles
February 16th, 4391

Image
Zardic Military entering the abandoned town of Btajo in Yamt​ékstan.

For the past year Jelbania has been in a state of government collapse. The chaos has left various clans in the region to fight for control.
This crisis was sparked back in 4389, after paramilitary forces from Deltaria seized control of the eastern parts of the nation.
This would be followed by the Vanukean government intervening earlier this year trying to restore order.

President Megistido has expressed that Zardugal should take a more prominent position in this event.
Jelbania is currently falling into an anarchical state. We should have not allowed this to occur, especially on OUR BOARDER! But we did. Although it's not too late to assist in repairing the country. I propose we take a diplomatic stance on the situation, and clear out aggressive forces in the region.


On February 14th, the Zardic Military along with the New Guard launched a military offensive into the regions of Gezg​ék​stan & Yamt​ékstan. This action was meet with minimal resistance within Jelbania. It is unclear what will be the result of these actions, but escalation could be possible.

Beleco Aprobas la Konstruadon de Nova Aviadiloj

Dimanĉe Januario Castinido sciigis, ke lia Ministerio certigus, ke la Konfederacio daŭre plibonigos la militistojn de Zardugal.
"Ni ne povas denove permesi alian krizon kiel Jelbania. Ni devas certigi, ke nia nacio estas sekura kaj niajn najbaroj ankaŭ. Jen la kialo, kial ni havas la Ministerion pri Defendo".

La plej rimarkinda preno de ĉi tiu anonco estis la deziro plibonigi la Zardic Air Force kaj la kreon de la AZ-12 (ankaŭ "Genezo"). Ĉi tiu modelo daŭros 15 jarojn de disvolviĝo kaj estos desegnita por anstataŭigi ĉiujn aktualajn batalilojn en Zardugal. La aviadilo estus desegnita por rapideco kaj kontinueco kaj la Z-35 kaj la AS-26.

Beleco Approves the Construction of New Fighter Jets

Last Sunday, Januario Kastinido announced that his Ministry would insure that the Confederation would continue to improve on Zardugal's military.
"We can't allow another crisis like Jelbania happen again. We need to insure that our nation is safe and our neighbors as well. That is the reason why we have the Ministry of Defense."

The most notable take away from this announcement was the desire to improve the Zardic Air Force and the creation of the AZ-12 (aka "Genesis"). This model would take 15 year development period and will be designed to replace all present fighter models in Zardugal. The plane would be designed to outmatch in speed & durability both the Z-35 and the AS-26.

La Darković Administrado provas Solidigi Kazulian Rilatoj

Post la misfunkciado de leĝo en 4399, la prezidanto Darković certas, ke la Komunisma Partio ŝanĝos koron. "Ĉi tio ne estas partia afero, ĝi estas eksterlanda politiko," diris la parolanto Angelina Balasako al raportistoj dimanĉe. "Se Zardugalo agas kiel monda potenco, ni bezonas formi aliancojn!" Kvankam esperema ke la K-ZILK (Kazulian-Zardic Interkonsento de Libera Komerco) kaj KZKA (Kazulian-Zardic Klopodita Amikeco) pasos, iuj en la demando de la Sankta Partio se laborante kun la Komunisma Partio estas la plej bona elekto. "Laŭ mia opinio, ni nur mortigu ilin, fermu Beleco kaj neebligi moviĝon. Ĉi tiu estas la propra vera maniero, kiun ni povas ŝanĝi en ĉi tiu nacio," diris la kongresano Gerontido, pasintan vendredon.

The Darković Administration Tries to Solidify Kazulian Relations

After the failure of passing legislation in 4399, President Darković is confident that the Communist Party will have a change of heart. "This isn't a partisan issue, it's foreign policy," said Speaker Angelina Balasako to reporters on Sunday. "If Zardugal is to act as a world power, we need for form alliances!" Although hopeful that the KZFTA (Kazulian-Zardic Free Trade Agreement) & KZTF (Kazulian-Zardic Treaty of Friendship) will pass, some in Holy Party question if working with the Communist Party is the best option. "In my opinion, we should just starve them out, shutdown Beleco, and prevent mobility. This is the own real way we can make change in this nation" said Congressman Gerontido last Friday.

August 17th, 4404

Zardugal Increases Diplomatic Relations With Saridan

While most of international community condemns the actions of the Saridan president Curtis Spencer, throughout this year Zardugal has attempted to open up to the nationalist state. The Darković administration has began pushing the Resolution of 4404, a formal acknowledgement of sovereignty & protection of Saridan's government. As well as the company of Maksimuma opening up it's first market in the city of Pietersburg.

But yesterday has seen the largest development between the states, as Zardic Foreign Minister Jugoslav Marković meet with Saridan Foreign Minister Lara Chadwick. According to reporters in Saridan, both Ministers talked about the new Resolution, as well as the possibility of allowing free trade between the nations to ease the affect of the international embargo. But these plans may need a couple more years of development before they are put into practice.

Zardugal Begins Strikes in Jelbania

As the situation in Jelbania becomes more unstable, President Darković has granted the New Guard the ability to intervene in the region.
This has culminated in several skirmishes between the nations along the southwestern border. But these border attacks seem to only have been the beginning, as airstrikes in Yamtékstan have been reported.

Image

Some reports have stated civilian deaths in the region, but Zardic Minister of Defense Januario Kastinido denies this:
Strikes attributed to the Zardic military, particularly their identification of civilian deaths, may be further complicated by the deliberate spread of misinformation by some actors, including terrorist organizations.

Kastinido continued with saying that the focus should be on bringing Jelbania back into a state of order, and to prevent more political disturbance in Majatra.
