Not even a week into living in the new place and already heard a burst of five gunshots. Fun. Guess I'll find out later on the news what that was about.

Oh my, quite a lively new neighborhood by the looks of it...

Stay safe! Hopefully you're feeling a bit better after the work incident as well.

Feeling much better now that I've had my two days off to catch up on rest. I'll definitely endeavor to stay safe, I've no desires to have another close call like I've had several years back. I don't go outside at night, I always lock the door, I always have at least one light on, I don't live on the ground floor, and I keep pepper spray on me. I plan on getting a replacement pocket knife too for my old broken one, although that's more for the convenience of having one that's a multi tool in your pocket than for self defense purposes.

I hope you stay safe out there, Oceara.

2015:
The Vanlikian government has instituted several programs to better the life of its citizens, to try to live up to the standards of the revolution. All Vanlikian citizens will receive a free telescreen, an interactive TV used for the transmission of news and entertainment to all homes across Vanlik. Free goods known as Victory goods will be made available freely to all citizens; such items include Victory Cigarettes, Victory Serum -a supposedly Regenex-like product-, Victory Vodka, Victory Gin, Victory Coffee, and Victory Tea. There are also measures being taken to create free personal vehicles, Victory Cars and Victory Shuttles...

A group of Orsonian linguists from the University of Medan have proposed the adoption of Revolutionary Speech as the official language of Orson, replacing Modern Auruk (which they have derisively referred to as "Imperial Speech").

These linguists believe that adopting RevSpeak would erase all counter-revolutionary concepts and terms from the Orsonian lexicon, including racist or authoritarian terms heavily associated with the Empire, and reverse centuries of "linguistic imperialism" throughout the Orsonian world caused by Orsonian settlers introducing the Auruk language at the expense of indigenous languages. This has attracted some support within the Communist Party.

The Orsonian Language Institute, an agency responsible for regulating Modern Auruk, has strongly opposed any attempts to reform it or introduce RevSpeak. Its members are currently lobbying the Federal government to prohibit the use of RevSpeak in any government agency, arguing it is an attempt at censorship and the stifling of free expression, and that it is a direct attack on Orsonian cultural heritage.

Hello everyone!

I beefed up the UCP Judiciary factbook with some new information following recent canon alterations and the implementation of the Montevideo Statute. This includes a section outlining each of the UCP special rapporteurs, some of whom have not been named yet. In other cases, the investigations have stalled or the focus of regional canon has since moved on to other events.

If anybody was interested in reviving any of the three open UCP investigations, you are welcome to take the reins and simulate an outcome.

Back online! Yay!

Good to see you Cybus, we were missing you in the discord :)

Yay!

Haha! My telegram folder names are intact, I give credit to the Administrator's efforts to preserve the existence of the mortal world for this and not just being lucky.

It's good to be back!
