New French News

The attack on the Gems in North Spain (in the Pyrenees) is so far going well for the French Army, as even their small army vastly outnumbered the Gem forces. The current plan is an encirclement to block off outside help, before conducting artillery attacks on the mostly uninhabited mountains. This is expected to go successfully.

In other news, after landing near Bilbao, a small amount of the army has headed west and has claimed the North Coast of Spain, roughly the area between A Coruña, Vigo, León and the mountain Maladeta, as well as the coastline. This is after the New French Government announced its plans to use the materials, like iron, from this unclaimed area to rebuild the damaged French mainland. Despite claims around unjust occupation, the government has gone ahead with the plan, although stating that the area will have some autonomy.

The Interviews
Standard Questions
What have you learned while being in this Region that you can take to the Delegacy?
Prusmia: Well, I've not learned much to be honest. I feel my answer last time was a bit too direct & bold, so I'm going to tone it down, this region has mainly taught me about the relationships you can build & the community you surround yourself with, I talk about the community I want to build in my Candidate Questions so I'll end this point here.

Ambrossa: I've been in the region for a month or so, and I've learned a bunch. Staying relevant to the topic of delegacy, the number one thing I've learned (from looking at delegate history and such) is that you have to know what you are doing. For instance, in the case of the "A" and "B" rated delegates, they knew what they were going to do and did it.

Austrovik-Germania: I think it's hugely important to realise that this region is not something that can be fixed in a fortnight. Rome was never built overnight, and it will take a huge effort to actually shift the current trend of how RP finds itself in near-annual cycles of prosperity, and then a slump to stagnation. It isn't something that is easy to fix, but it isn't impossible either.

Saint Indopeland: During my time in the region, I have learnt many valuable lessons I can take into my potential delegacy. Firstly, as delegate twice, I have experienced the ups and downs ruling a region can have. Through this, I have a good understanding of what I can do, to do the best I can for the region. Also, being here for 2 years has allowed me to see the region change under many delegates. By seeing their failures (some worse than others), I can avoid such incidents and mistakes, and make the best possible decisions for the region.

Maluku Besar: I've learned a lot, mostly about space age RP, and the form of cross-nations dialogue that takes place in the RMB. It's really disorganized but it feels like it works. I've learned to enjoy reading other people's writing and roleplay, and I'm slowly learning how to flesh out my own RP dialogue. I'm a very social person by nature, and believe that my openness and will to talk to others, especially on NS and the discord will be a key to my success.

What is your ideology? As you know, most of the Delegates are Unionist, which means they support a strong, cohesive Region. Other Delegates have been more focused on the independence of their Nation over the combined strength of the Region. Where do you stand on the issue?
Prusmia: While I have listed the ideology of the Reclamation Party as Reformism, I don't believe it fits solidly into one category the party is a combination of all the ideologies I've found and invited into it, growing from the best and removing the ugly bits. The party seeks to reform and regroup mainly shifting its focus this election into Roleplay as you'll see when I finally finish my rounds on updating the party dispatch.

Ambrossa: I agree with the Unionist ideology. A strong Region is a good Region.

Austrovik-Germania: Revisionism mainly incorporates much of the policies of Neo-Unionism and Unionism, but combines them with the beliefs of the Reformist Party. Revisionism's main deviation from Unionism is the idea that the region is now more than just a community, but a fluid gathering of many individuals who will come and go, and the idea that we need to adapt the region to ensure that the continuity of RP and also the activity surrounding it doesn't just have boosts from Recruitment Drives, but also can be sustained and new players can be with-held. More can be read about Revisionism in our dispatch.

Saint Indopeland: My ideology in the region isn't Unionism, but rather a more individual approach. I want the region to cater for every nation, especially by allowing them all to have their say in regional matters. However, I don't oppose the unionist approach of a strong region; in fact the opposite. I believe that all actions should help the region stay strong and together, and as good as it can be.

Maluku Besar: My ideology? I feel like I want to shy away from calling myself a unionist, or someone who appreciates the sovereignity of their nation more than the greater good.
I think calling myself a federalist might work out more? I appreciate the greater good and unity, but also value sovereignity.

There have been many votes within the Region. While some Delegates have respected the results of the votes, others have not, especially if the vote does not go their way. Should a vote not go your way, will you respect the vote?
Prusmia: Gonna cut it short and sweet here, yup.

Ambrossa: Of course! I've got some very tough competitors! If someone else wins, I will be perfectly content. Any of the candidates running in this election would surely do some good.

Austrovik-Germania: Yes. There is no need to elaborate on that question.

Saint Indopeland: Of course. One of my main principles is individual freedom and democracy. Votes allow nations to voice their concerns and opinions, and thus I believe all votes must be listened to.

Maluku Besar: Will I respect someone not voting for me? Of course. I represent my ideals and visions and I fully understand that my ideals and visions won't line up with those of everyone else, and I respect that 100%.

What should the end of your Delegacy look like?
Prusmia: Well I have a couple of visions in mind, most of which are only a stepping stone on what I can see. But I mainly hope to see the map either transferred to more active hands or given more hands working on it along with a group of fresh good smelling factbooks sitting ready to be checked out at the regional library.

Ambrossa: Not chaotic. It should be a peaceful transition from one delegate to the next, and I hope I achieved much during that time.

Austrovik-Germania: A new Golden Age for the NWU. That is what we are here to do. That is what we are here to achieve.

Saint Indopeland: At the end of my delegacy, I would want to see the region remaining happy and prosperous, but with a new spark for positive future change. I hope to bring about a new democratic and advancing aura to the region with changes outlined in my platform.

Maluku Besar: I would hope the end of my delegacy is a period that is well-remembered and that people can look back on my actions fondly. And I want the end of my delegacy to be remarkable for it's smooth transition of power.

What do you want to be remembered for?
Prusmia: Fixing stuff & ironing out the kinks we have in our system. I would write more but I feel I'd just overcomplicate things for myself so I'll leave this at that.

Ambrossa: I want to be remembered for progressing the region into a glorious future, of course. What else would one strive for?

Austrovik-Germania: We don't necessarily want to be remembered for anything. The improvement of the region should not be driven by just an individual, Presidential Team or Cabinet, but rather, the entire NWU should come together to push for this change we need in order to boost ourselves into a new Golden Age. When looking back, this should not be seen as a "DRP Era", but an era where the entire population of the NWU coming together to achieve something great.

Saint Indopeland: Being remembered isn't something I actively think about - simply making the region a better place is the most important. But if I were to be remembered, I would hope it would be for ending the stale period in the region's history and lighting the path for a new era.

Maluku Besar: I would hope the end of my delegacy is a period that is well-remembered and that people can look back on my actions fondly. And I want the end of my delegacy to be remarkable for it's smooth transition of power.

Candidate Questions
Prusmia:
1. You have been poised to be Delegate in the last few Elections, especially when you were Vice Delegate, yet you chose not to or withdrew at some point in the process. What makes this bid different?
Well, the reason I decided to drop out of the race after my Vice Delegacy was due to a mix of personal reasons, covid along with wanting to build up my skills & resume a bit. During that time, I've spent my time working on other projects and worked on building up plans for roleplay ideas that I'm spinning. This bid isn't very different from the others, I'm still coming from my heart that this region needs some form of change/shift in stability. Which I plan to do through re-writing several of the old and outdated factbooks which I will admit I failed to do during my stay as VD. However, I've been building on what I did build for those for some time now and I believe they're in a better state than they were before. Along with this, I've been working on some ideas that I'm working on publishing in the "Long Complicated Plans" section of my party dispatch, the section of which is still under work, but should be fully published before voting begins.

2. Other than electing a new Chief Justice, you mention reforming the election rules to prevent cheaters. The current Election Commission has done well to prevent problems with the elections, especially after the questionable Amaabj election. What would you do to reform the rules that has not already been done?
Well first I'll get this out of the way, the Chief Justice issue as established by UE in his interpretation of his writing is not under the jurisdiction of the president so I've struck that from the version of the dispatch I'm working on. The ruling on elections has also gone down in the priority list after a re-evaluation. However, I do feel precautions should be made to prevent such while I can't say blatant cheating under Amaabj as we as a region still aren't sure if he cheated as has been brought up by Gooutofhere. I believe that a nation should announce their vote to the candidate in question either through the RMB publicly if they wish, privately through a telegram sent to Unovia to allow for easier transparency on whether a vote for a nation is real or not.

3. We have an Invasion Policy that is written down and has been functional for a while. What do you intend to do with your planned policy?
Well this issue is a bit of a personal issue for me as after the multitudes of threats & scandals held upon the administration of FNU. I feel as if the NWU should establish a relationship with other regions & or establish its group of people assigned to gather support in case of a known threat to be activated/alerted in need of emergency should the region be faced with another group like the Lone Wolves.

4. Usually, Delegates do not get involved with Embassy Policy. In fact, many Delegates intentionally shy away from it. Why do you want to get involved with Embassies?
I believe in a sort of establishment within the region where the community of the region is engaged in discussion & roleplay with a larger group of regions. Not a group like NS Leaders where regions are brought together to form ideas and rules but a genuine community where people can have a nice relaxing place to hang out and chat with each other. At its heart, that's what I feel the region & this site as a whole should be/is.

5. You state that you plan to speed up RP Map updates and create RP Events. How would you achieve either of these goals?
Well, while the president cannot push the Regional mapmaker out of the RP Sec out of office, so I cannot directly get rid of UE and take over and do his job myself or appoint it to someone else who can work faster, I can still do this unofficially. Until I find a way to work with the counselors to get UE to update the map info and the map itself, I'd set up a separate factbook and ask people to send their requests to the map to UE and me. So that I can update their claims to my map and if UE wants to "borrow" that map from me, he can feel free.
RP events are an entirely different matter, and there's no way I could explain my entire plan for them here but I'll try my best. Basically what I see RP events are is little bits of continuity to spark roleplay and make the world feel alive. I classify these events into a couple of tiers;

Spontaneous Events:
Events used to directly acknowledge action taken by a player
These events as their name implies are spontaneous and can happen anytime because of somebody doing anything. So for example, if a nation decided to pursue some goal of conquest when its stance historically has been to protect smaller countries from invasions or some similar goal. A spontaneous event would be used to cause the nation to rethink how their goal would affect the population and would give them a chance to redo/confirm their actions. They could go about this in any way they thought of. Some examples are suppressing the public, or using propaganda to spur a sense of nationalism, or that the nation had shamed their own. The possibilities are endless, while the example I used is one of punishment they do not have to be used in this way, they could also be used to spur growth out of a decision or just be a bit of flavor text to add onto a nation to make it that more special, for example, the opposite of what I just described happening and a country going into open celebration at the idea of war.

Natural Events:
Events used to spur spontaneous roleplay experience
Natural Events are unlike Spontaneous Events as they are not used to respond to the actions of a nation but they happen naturally as a consequence of the world, not the player. While the player does not have to respond to them, they act as a chance for a player to engage with others and present a unique challenge for players to play through. These events are wide-ranging so I'll use a simple one for an explanation. A volcano erupts in [nation] leaving the nation scrambling to relieve those affected. This could be handled a multitude of ways from outside nations offering help and working as a coalition to save those in need or the nation could ignore it and let those people die, either way, works & whatever you can think up goes.

Apocalyptic Events:
Events used to signify an end to a nation
These are special events in that they are not given out at random but are the final chance for nations that find themselves inactive to provide a reason for the removal of the nation from the map. If the nation responds in the given time to the event their nation will be saved. But if not, they will be removed as they have failed to respond in time. While this is a very serious issue for the nations facing it I feel its reasons should be comical. Such as the politicians in the nation sleeping in so much that their government nears collapse or something like that, or it could be more serious. It depends on who gets it.

Ambrossa:
1. You are one of two new Nations who are running for the chair, the other being Maluku Besar, and are very active in the Region. What experience do you have that makes you the ideal person to become the next Delegate?
To be completely honest, not much experience. I joined Nationstates because I took up a strange and sudden interest in politics. However, experience aside, I believe I can do some good in the Region.

2. You discuss a plan to establish an efficient Cabinet for the Region, yet to some, this may be seen as Government expansionism and overreach. How do you plan to achieve this?
I plan to achieve this by finding the right candidates. If your cabinet members are picked just right, the cabinet itself will be strong yet not overpowering.

3. You discuss a plan to create a fair embassy policy. What does this Policy look like?
Unlike other previous delegates, I won't cancel any of our current embassies unless prompted to do so. The policy (which will be a team effort) will state guidelines on choosing a region for construction of embassies like a close examination of beliefs and actions of a region and then a agreement (by vote) of whether or not to construct the embassy.

4. In your election policy statement, you talk about creating an election policy that prevents unworthy candidates from running. What would you define as an “unworthy” candidate?
An unworthy candidate is someone who is clearly not prepared for the power of delegacy. A fair election policy would include a basic set of questions a candidate must answer. Those questions would ask what a candidate would do in different situations, some disastrous and some testing what said candidate would do with the power.

5. You mention creating a defensive army against raids and raiders. This has been tried several times. What is your plan for enlistment in the proposed army, and what powers will they have?
When I was reading previous campaign platforms, I saw that pop up several times. Raiders are obviously a threat to any open region, and any strong region should have something to prevent that. A army would be one or more powerful nations with power to defend against the raiders. As for power, they would probably be granted with border control.

6. You yourself have mentioned that inactivity may be an issue for you while being Delegate. How will you ensure that your Vice Delegate and Cabinet continue your goals, even with you inactive? Will there be regular meetings?
Inactivity is a problem, as I can only be active when I have access to my device at school. However, I am confident that I have chosen the right vice-delegate, and I would hold meetings with him to discuss situations and plans.

Austrovik-Germania:
1. Of all of the Candidates, you are the Nation with the most in the chair Delegate experience (235 Days over three terms), yet you tend to resign when things get tough for you, leaving your Vice Delegate to often pick up the slack. The last time, while you were the 36th Delegate, you withdrew from the office without notifying anyone of your actions, leaving your Vice Delegate to unofficially assume the office. Why should the people of New World Union give you a 4th shot at the Chair?
That is a very valid question. However, I must raise the point that both me and my family contracted a serious case of COVID-19 during that last Period, of which lead to my asthma now severely returned due to the after-effects of the disease. This isn't about giving me another chance. I have only ran for the position as I believe it is a vital necessity. The NWU needs changes that no other candidate is offering. We need to cure the endless cycle of uplift and stagnation and permanently save the NWU from this constant flux. It is also important to note I have personally entered a phase in my life where NationStates has become a routinely pastime, rather than a simple hobby, and as a result I personally feel a lot more ready for the challenge. I also feel this point can easily be nullified when a DRP Cabinet would also be active in Government, and aid the President in pursuing their goals, instead of just idly twiddling their thumbs.

2. The Democratic Revisionist Party, or DRP, is the 3rd Political party you have established in the Region. What makes this one different from the others?
The difference is that this is not just me making the decisions, nor is it actually my party. The DRP is lead by FNU, and I am simply our candidate.

3. Your party manifesto states that you plan to enact much of the outgoing Delegates’ platform. How will you would to balance his goals with your own?
Well, by constant communication with both the Cabinet and former President. However, it must be said, we are not just a continuum of the previous President. The DRP is here to not only enact changes to solve the region's gravest problems, but to encourage more of our members to actively get involved, which is a trend we are already seeing in this election.

4. What is a “Donkey Government”?
A Donkey Government is a term we use to describe a Cabinet that simply sits idol, relying on the President to push initiative in order to achieve goals. We need to place more responsibility in our Cabinet and our community in order to achieve things together, to be stronger, and to have a more active region.

5. You want to enact a massive recruitment drive with a stated plan of $25 in stamps. How can others who can’t put up money for recruitment help with said endeavor?
I mean, the simplest and easiest way would be to stay involved, both IC and OOC! Scrutinise your government, continue fresh and exciting RP, worldbuild with your chums in the region! Show the internet what the NWU is actually made of!

6. You mention briefly a “Q & A Codex” that will provide information for newbies. Is this essentially going to be a refresh of the Guides that Deusvultes had or is it going to be a completely new concept?
It is inspired by the amazing work by Deusvultes, yes. I am sure you cannot disagree that he made excellent progress in boosting the region. However, we need that same push again with more vigour and more gusto in order to properly cure this region. We are absolute ardent on the idea that with great communication comes great RP.

Saint Indopeland:
1. Your platform seems to center around two major elements, those being a Congress and an Idea Forum. How do you plan to enact either of these ideas?
My ideas for a congress aren't for a constitutionally-defined body, but rather a way of discussing everything from law proposals to simple concerns or questions. It would be a place where people can have their say on the region, and be listened to. It would also be a location for discussions and debate on such matters as well. As for its execution: I have many possible ideas, from Google Forms; to a separate region we can talk in; to a channel on Discord. Ultimately, what matters is making it work for as many people as possible. Therefore I would discuss with the region what the best course of action is. And for the idea forum - I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but if it means the history discussion thread: with RP history in somewhat of a mess, I would want to clear it up into one cohesive, well-documented forum post.

2. As a former Minister of Culture, do you intend to reestablish such a post?
I would love to bring back its principles, whether by a physical role or simply having its roles passed around. I love the idea of the role, through its polls and regional newspaper - both things I want to bring back.

Maluku Besar:
1. You are one of 2 New Nations running for the chair, the other being Ambrossa. You started your Campaign as a “satire”, then a few Days later, you produced a plan for your Delegacy. How do you plan to achieve your goals?
I started my campaign as a joke, and you noted me down anyway, that I should run for real. I thought it over and drafted a plan for what I would run. I hope to achieve my goals by strengthening the seat of delegate, to break bloc politics.

2. You claim to be a member of the “Non-Aligned Movement”. What does that mean for the Region? Is that the same as being an independent in politics?
My NS follows the Non Alligned Movement, and in this case creates the new formation of it.
Non Aligned. My country is de jure a "subject" of Unovia, a global superpower but has defacto independence, controling it's own military, economy, all the way to foreign affairs. But the countries legal status doesn't stop it from not politically aligning itself into the Unovian powerbloc, it doesn't want to be a part of the Brirish powerbloc, or that of anyone else. I guess you can compare it to being an independent in politics, as I don't cater to any global superbloc.

3. Your platform seems very RP heavy. What should Roleplay look like during and after your tenure?
My platform is very RP heavy, because I misinterpeted the seat of delegate. That, and an OOC campaign didn't sound right to me, and I made my mind up and wrote it 100% in-character.
I'm honestly unsure how roleplay would be after my potential term, as that's completely up to the people themselves, and the person who would serve after me, after I would be elected.

Several kilometers away from a Classified landing zone somewhere in northern England 0021 hours

Many german men set in the grey planes. The jet engines roared loudly, the cabin lit only by incredibly dim lights that would only direct where to place cargo. The jumpmaster of each plane sat next to a door with two lights, both of which weren’t on. They waited there for a few moments before the Ted light came to life. The jump master stood up as each of the Germans looked to him.

He extended both his arms forward and held his hands up, his palms facing each of the men. “Get ready!” He shouted.

Each of the german soldiers retrieved the hooks attached to their parachutes and held it up.

The jumpmaster lowered his palms and turned them over before quickly lifting his arms up as he shouted, “stand up!”

Each of the paratroopers stood up.

The jumpmaster used his right hand to create a hook shape, “hook up!”

Each of the airborne soldiers attached their hooks to a long wire spanning the cargo pay from end to end.

The jump master pointed to the straps of his plate carrier and shouted, “equipment check!”

Each of the paratroopers rugged and pulled on straps, and other gear on the man in front of him to ensure that their gear was secure.

The jumpmaster placed his hands to the sides of his face, and then to his plate carrier as he shouted their next command. “Sound off for equipment check!”

Along the cargo bay, each man tapped the shoulders of their comrades and shouted their number, going from “fifty five Okay!” All the way to “two Okay!” Ay which point, the jump master himself shouted, “one Okay!”

Outside the plane, anti-air artillery was sparse. Campaigns from rebel forces and British military trapped behind enemy lines, reinforced by orbital bombardments and german orbital assault forces had taken our most of the AA emplacements in the British isles

When the lights turned green, men shuffled out of the door and the force of their exit opened their chutes, allowing them to safely descend into battle. Reinforcements from beach landings would arrive six hours later. But the airborne couldn’t just sit around! They have to clear the way for the marines!

The Jumpmaster was the final man to leave each plane. 1st Lieutenant Kreper was one of them. He descended into the battlefield of light anti-air and machine gun fire, but danger wasn’t completely out of the question. Large pockets of gems that avoided bombardment and destruction by the OAF had hidden within the caves, holes, and tunnel systems throughout Scotland and northern England. Anti-ship artillery also remained standing. Kreper kept this all in mind as he was seconds away from hitting the ground. When he did, he rolled to avoid injury and quickly jumped up, cutting the passcode on his chute and pulling the entire piece of cloth towards himself. He wrapped it up and saved the cloth for later use.

Immediately after, a fellow whose descent had been slower landed just by Kreper. Private Senft had noticed Kreper and repeated a phrase that had been used by the invading forces of Normandy a century and a half ago. “Flash!” He called out in a voice that seemed to combine a whisper and a shout.

“Thunder!” Lieutenant Kreper replied in a similar fashion.

The soldiers had landed in a field of tall grass. Rather unusual for gem occupied areas. Usually local flora and fauna would be burnt away leaving ash, dust, and mud, but this specific area seemed relatively pristine, as if the gems wanted to maintain the landscape to give themselves natural cover and advantages. The two soldiers got their bearings and headed to the south west of their location to link up with a mixed force of OAFs, and British rebels and remnants.

They walked for about a half an hour before finally reaching their destination. The rest of the company had already linked up with them. Once there, they reorganized themselves and continued west to destroy anti-ship artillery. Senft was the first to spot the artillery emplacement. Quietly, he notified the superior force of about 500 men.

The positioning of the gun was a very poor choice by the gems. Flanked on all sides by a hill that would provide concealment for any force that would wish to destroy the gun. Rather indefensible. The men formed a ring around the hill and proceeded to slowly climb up. Once in position, they rained fire down upon the gems, quickly clearing out the position. They ran down the hill and placed explosives down to destroy the gun.

Beaches of Northern England 0624 hours

Despite the naval and orbital bombardments, attacks from rebels, surviving British military, and german OAFs, the coasts of northern England remained well defended by the gems. This landing was reminiscent of the one the British themselves had carried out against Germany 140 years ago. Marines sat in their amphibious assault vehicles, and in some, pilots were also present.

Because of the major skill gap between your average marine and a pilot, an enlisted pilot outranked even a captain. One man vomited, and as a result, each man in one of the vehicles also expelled the contents of their stomach, all except for Pilot Hüber. He sat, tapping his foot, staring at the singular picture he had with his adopted sangheili son, Jörg. Peridot had taken it shortly before they entered earth orbit and joined the defense of earth. There, he stood, his arm wrapped around the shoulder of the boy who was half his size. They both smiled as Hüber had taken his helmet off. He had decently long curly brown hair and a large beard to back it up. On a makeshift leather sash, Jörg had the knife his adopted human father had given him. This picture eased Hüber’s concerns. He placed the photograph in a pouch and curled his fist, banging on the doorway that separated the marines from the driver. He reached his hand down and unfurled his thumb and two of his fingers. Three minutes until they landed.

“I want 5 feet between man. Two men is a juicy opportunity, one man’s a waste of ammo.” Staff sergeant Hüber shouted

“Keep the sand out of your weapons!” The captain shouted.

Three minutes came and went and the vehicle rattled violently as it’s treads caught the sand and propelled itself forward onto land. Smoke produced from explosives and the vehicles itself obscured the gem’s vision allowing for an easy exit from the vehicles. The doors dropped and marines filed out from the back. Plasma wizzed around the heads and bodies of each man as several went down almost instantly. Pilots were quick to drop A-Walls that gave them cover for long enough to gather men and push towards the physical barriers.

Between the Germans and their position of defilade, there were obstacles that mirrored those used by the german military in their Atlantic wall preventing armor from making it ashore. The navy beach battalion had been sent to blast these positions and make holes for the tanks, but progress, while fast, yielded highly damaged units.

Men pushed up the beach and ran for the sandbars that gave them defilade from the enemy machine gun positions. As they lay their in preparation, some of the men ran along the position with Bangalores that were to be used to blast the barbed wire preventing them from advancing. Men down the line shouted “fire in the hole!” Just before explosions cleared the barrier, allowing the men to advance up the beach. As men poured into the gem trenches and gun emplacements, newly landing marines did not face the same level of intense gunfire their comrades before them had, and a beachhead was soon established.

New Canada

A UAF colony deep in district E,7 with a population around 5 million Canadians has declared independence from the the The Unified American Federation and has temporarily ceased all communications with the Office of Naval Intelligence. The last broadcast sent out from the planet was a formal declaration of independence directed to President Toshinori Yagi.

speculations have been made that this is the act of Canadian Nationalists who for decades have been opposed to the The Unified American Federation's "occupation" of Canada. Believing the UAF favored Americans over that of Canadians, and treated them as second class citizens with the lack of respect and representation of Canadian history, and culture.

The following is the final broadcast received by the O.N.I. before it went dark:

"President Toshinori Yagi,

For far too long have the Canadian people's been oppressed and forced to live in an american system that encourages the destruction of our culture and proud history. That ends now.

We hereby declare that the former colony of New Canada is now an independent state and that Canadian are a self‑
governing people. We proclaim it to the nations of the world in affirmation of the principle of
the equality of all nations, and we proclaim it to our posterity, preserving in perpetuity the right
of national survival. We make this declaration on the strength of three thousand years of history
as an expression of the devotion and loyalty of five million people.

We claim independence
in the interest of the eternal and free development of our people and in accordance with the
great movement for world reform based upon the awakening conscience of mankind and its many allies. This is the
clear command of heaven, the course of our times, and a legitimate manifestation of the right of
all nations to coexist and live in harmony. Nothing in the greater universe can suppress or block it.

Our task today is to build up our own strength, not to destroy others. We must chart a
new course for ourselves in accord with the solemn dictates of conscience, not malign and reject
others for reasons of past enmity or momentary passions. In order to restore natural and just
conditions, we must remedy the unnatural and unjust conditions brought about by the leaders
of the American Federation who are chained to old ideas and victimized by their obsession with
glory.

A new world is before our eyes. The days of force are gone, and the days of
morality are here. A new spring has arrived prompting
the myriad forms of life to come to life again. The past was a time of freezing ice and snow,
stifling the breath of life; the present is a time of mild breezes and warm sunshine,
reinvigorating the spirit. Facing the return of the universal cycle, we set forth on the changing
tide of the Universe. Nothing can make us hesitate or fear.

We shall safeguard our inherent right to freedom and enjoy a life of prosperity; we shall
also make use of our creativity, enabling our national essence to blossom in the vernal warmth.
We have arisen now.Conscience is on our side, and truth guides our way. All of us, men and
women, young and old, have firmly left behind the old nest of darkness and gloom and head
for joyful resurrection together with the myriad living things. The spirits of thousands of
generations of our ancestors protect us; the rising tide of world consciousness shall assist us.
Once started, we shall surely succeed. With this hope we march forward."

New Canada now takes its first steps as a sovereign nation so long as the UAF doesn't challenge Canada's legitimacy.

“Is... is he a f*cking idiot?” Chancellor Fürst looked to her Secretary of foreign affairs.

“I don’t know, probably.” The Secretary simply shrugged.

“He realizes he’s dealing with the imperium if he tries anything? Let alone Germany. Hell, maybe even the Americans! Is he trying to get the world against him?”

“We’re not sure.” He replied.

Chancellor Fürst let out a labored sigh, “okay, notify the prime minister that Germany fully recognizes the livonian claims in South America and that, should Brazil take any action against the livonians, it will be met with an invasion fleet from Germany. Rio de Janeiro will be occupied. And tell him it is best that he resends those comments, especially before the imperium gets involved.”
