The Emperor has invited foreign delegates from Cambria, Bercolle, Sacuri, Mydia, Vulka, and Zollern to the imperial capital, Vinona, for a conference as tensions arise to an all time high and the threat of nuclear warfare rears its head once more. While not a nuclear power itself Arrica has maintained a strong sentiment towards such devices long since their creation and wishes to reach a conclusion that would negate any such escalations.

Voice of Koryo FLASHBACK

Coronation of Princess Seol Sun-Hee

The air was filled with mixed emotions. A day of happiness, but a harsh and dreadful reminder of recent events. Emperor Park Chol-Sang, Emperor of the Kingdom of Koryo, the Emperor who aligned the nation with its new allies in the Commonwealth of Nations, had been assassinated. Now, 14 year old Seol Sun-Hee must take the reigns and become the Empress of the Kingdom of Koryo.

Thousands traveled to Ryongyang to view the coronation, a once in a lifetime event. Military and Police were on high alert as the people awaited their soon-to-be Empress.

All eyes were on the main doors of the Royal Palace, where Soldiers lined a carpet, awaiting Princess Seol Sun-Hee to walk out. Finally, there she was. The nation’s beloved Princess Seol Sun-Hee, who would soon become Empress Seol Sun-Hee.

Escorted by General Ri Yun-Il, the Royal Merited Chorus of the Kingdom of Koryo sang the song “Our Leader” (https://youtu.be/s5Jsp4u5ShE?si=2o23P01IA1h3vtta) as the Princess walked by, waving to crowds and shaking hands with officials, including Koryoan officials and those from nations abroad, such as the Foreign Minister from the Young Albanese Republic, Richard Banks, Louliana Bortez, Ambassador of the Mydic Empire, and Prince Farouk, a Prince from the Mahrani Sultanate.

As the Princess neared the stage where she would be coronated, the Royal Military Band played the Song of Arrival of the Empress (https://youtu.be/Wq_MGsjuIfk?si=-o9060EZkoyhCABn).

The crowd cheered for Seol Sun-Hee as the coronation was about to begin. The crowd went silent as Seol Sun-Hee prepared to make her pledge to the country, vowing to uphold the will of the Koryoan People, the laws of the nation, and defend the country until the very end. With the pledge concluded, the Crown was placed on Seol Sun-Hee’s head by a Royal Advisor, who then shouted the following words:

“Long live respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee!”

The crowd erupted into cheers of “Long Live Empress Seol Sun-Hee!” as applause filled the air, civilians waving Koryoan flags in the air in support of their new Empress.

Next was the flag raising ceremony, where the Royal Honor Guard slowly and professionally marched onto the stage, where a flagpole was waiting. The National Flag anthem (https://youtu.be/1AMr9pY3nKM?si=fhG-4gFcbSFnCydc) was played as the Soldiers marched, holding the National Flag high, protecting it with their lives. Respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee was even seen teary-eyed at the sight of the National Flag. As the flag was hoisted, drums and trumpets sounded as the flag was tossed into the air, climbing high as the glorious national anthem (https://youtu.be/7XQyYB0U4cs?si=-3ZeZ1prUV_HMrua) began to sound, bringing tears of patriotism to the eyes of all who heard it. The crowd all sang along to the sound of the national anthem, becoming especially loud at the line “And with heart and soul together, we strive, Koryo shall forever thrive!”

The people were and will always be in support of Respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee, as she ushers in a new era of prosperity and strength for the Koryoan People after these extremely troubling times

Social Democrats Win Mandate - Canon Event
After a tumultuous three-month campaign period marked by heated debates between the ruling Social Democrats (KKD) and the opposition National Conservatives (EKK), during which the latter intensified their promotion of isolationist policies, the Mydic Empire found itself veering away from its traditional role as a global power deeply engaged in international affairs. Spearheaded by Archon Jaina Jessero, whose popularity surged during the campaign, the Social Democrats advocated for a more assertive foreign policy aimed at leveraging global investments, opportunities, and prosperity. This vision was articulated by Jessero during a triumphant late-night rally in Mydare, the capital city, where the skies were illuminated by blue fireworks, symbolizing the party's color.

Throughout the Empire's heartlands of Mydea, Parthenopia, Amazonia, and Attalonia, jubilant celebrations ensued as supporters reveled in the decisive victory. In regions historically contested during elections, such as Atrea, Rhodokia, Mikti, and Paxus, street parties and honking car horns echoed the nation's collective joy.

Conversely, in the EKK stronghold of Laconia and traditional bastions like Iraklio, Baleia, and Nymea, subdued gatherings unfolded as disgruntled citizens protested the election outcome. Addressing supporters in a somber late-night rally in Laconopolis, opposition leader Agamemnon Pegasos conceded defeat and extended congratulations to both Speaker Georgios Mastanakis, poised to retain his position at the helm of the Synedrio, and Archon Jaina Jessero, likely to secure her own re-election during the Synedrio's upcoming session.

Official results revealed a resounding victory for the Social Democrats and their allies, the New Dawn Party (KNA), securing 382 out of 700 seats while the KNA garnered 80 seats in the unicameral legislature, the Synedrio. In stark contrast, the opposition fared poorly, with the National Conservatives managing only 201 seats, bolstered by a mere 37 seats from their ally, the Confederal Party (SKK). This landslide victory not only granted the KKD a majority but also a supermajority, a first since the Great Wa. This comfortable margin of seats empowered party leader Mastanakis and Archon Jessero to pursue their long-awaited reforms, including raising corporate and wealth taxes, tightening restrictions on dissent, supporting the Republic of Sabir financially, and potentially implementing comprehensive immigration reform—a longstanding aspiration of the party.

Crystal Reef Now Teeming With Colorful Life

What was once a worry of the quarter part of the 21st century is now no longer a problem. Krystallrev (Crystal Reef), in between the borders of the Praxia Islands in Mydia and Insulae Cerula in the FE was reported to have thousands of tropical fish, squid, and even whales and the Krystall Blue Dolphin have been spotted.

The reef began to decline as a result of water pollution. The Mydic and Ibzani (the Kingdom that used to rule the State of Insulae Cerula) governments started to notice the issue and passed legislation to no pollute the reef. Since the pH of the water was acidic, life started to fail in the Crystal Reef. As a result of the acidic waters as well, the reef suffered from near total bleaching making it near uninhabitable place for sea life by the 2020s.

Both the Mydic Government and the newly formed Franconian Government tried to start cleanup efforts by the mid 2010s. There was some success, but the Great War hindered cleaning efforts leaving pollution to build up throughout the war, near 100% bleaching the reef. Thousands of species no longer lived in the reef, making it look like an underwater ghost town.

Today, scientists are saying that the water and reef are back to the state it was in before the 2010s. The Anker Administration's Environmental Minister, Jan Calland, has said that he wants to keep protecting the reef with Mydia to ensure life continues to flourish.

(Environmental Minister Jan Calland): "It is great to see two long-time allies protect a reef that lies in between their borders. Mydia is doing an excellent job at protecting their side of the reef, as are we with our side. The only way to keep life moving in the future for the reef is if both nations continue to do what they are doing by eliminating pollutants from the water and continuing efforts against climate change. Plastics are still in the water, but it is to be expected since plastics are brought in by ocean currents."

The Environmental Protection Minister has said that he will be speaking to Odin Anker to discuss the state of the reef and what the government can do to continue the repopulation of ocean life in the reef.

Kiwi Sold Out of Pre-ordered V-Phones

The V-Phone 14 Bend and the V-Phone H have been on pre-order for shipment since their announcements and a mock Kiwi store made it possible at the 2080 FITS in Quol. The two devices (with the addition of 2 wearables to go with it) will be the first of its kind being sold from the Franconian Consumer Tech Industry.

Kiwi says that the V-Phone 14 Bend will be the first foldable device sold by Kiwi in the international market. The V-Phone 14 Bend will take you back to the 2020s when flip phones made a come back with a modern twist from their first appearance in the 2000s. The 2020s version of the "flip phone" phased out in the early 2050s when quad-sqreen technology made a resurgence from the 2030s and with the appearance of "clear" technology. Kiwi says that the V-Phone 14 Bend will have a watch that goes with it. The watch will include a holographic screen, motion swipe that can be enabled via Helpr (the new AI assistant implemented in all Kiwi technology since the V-Phone 13X), Hair-Do compatibility with earphones, and Helpr AI. Preorder for the V-Phone 14 Bend is closed and will not be able to be open until Kiwi fills the 27.9 million orders that showed up globally.

As for the V-Phone H. Why "H"? Well it is Kiwi's first fully holographic device that is shaped like a coin. The device is being marketed for middle-aged people that read, businesses, college students, and for everyday use. The V-Phone H will comes with a thin holographic screen for outdoor and indoor use, a 5K camera for video and pictures, motion swipe assist, Hair-Do compatibility, and mobile hotspot. The V-Phone H was not expected to sell out at pre-order with the company taking a complete risk whether or not the market will like it. Kiwi CEO, Björk Vik, said that he and the marketing team are "extremely excited" to see the success of an unusual device. 8.1 million people globally are expected to get this device come Franconian Shopping Day (15 Nov 2080) with a forecasted 1.1 million people that did not pre-order expected to purchase the device on 15 November 2080, just in time for the holidays.

Emperor Heiden Celebrates Birthday

Emperor Hoort Heiden is another year older today (12 Sept 2080)! Today marks the Emperor's 36th birthday. He posted this picture to InstaFace. For our audio listeners, he is wearing a bright pink fitted suit with a black tie. His signature, unnatural strawberry red hair dyed green this time. The caption says "I'm entering my Watermelon Era" given his color pallet.

Empress Yülisa took to InstaFace saying "My gorgeous is 36 today. It feels like it was just yesterday when we met backstage the Krystall Vesta Awards. I never knew that teenager would turn out to be my husband just 5 years later. Make today yours!"

The Emperor has thanked everyone for his birthday wishes, but says he knows that he will be "bothered by my international allies" being sung birthday songs in all languages. The Emperor had a very joking tone when he stated that.

701st National Day of the Kingdom of Koryo Special Coverage

Today marks 701 days since the founding of the Kingdom of Koryo. Such a milestone has not been achieved by any other nation, the clear demonstration of superiority of the Koryoan people and the ability of her people to persevere through anything!

Respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee attended a Taekwondo demonstration in Kaesong this morning to begin festivities, which were taking place all across the city, people waving Koryoan national flags proudly all around the land.

In Ryongyang, final preparations are underway for the 701st national day Military Parade, as people celebrate the nation’s freedom throughout the day.

Night begins to dawn as the Soldiers are ready for the Parade to begin. Respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee, accompanied by Princess Seol Mi-Yeong, Empress-Consort Kim Ju-Song, and Sultana Farah of the Mahrani Sultanate, arrives in Ryongyang right on time to jubilant applause as the Welcoming Song for the Dear Leader (https://youtu.be/Wq_MGsjuIfk?si=dGuUx9R-lbABJjzx) was played. Respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee was greeted by members of the Military and Parliament, as she was informed that the troops were ready for the 701 Anniversary Military Parade.

As respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee was escorted to her booth with her family along with the Mahrani Sultanate, civilians watching cheered the Empress’ name, showing true and full devotion to the respected Empress and the cause of the Kingdom of Koryo.

At last, the festivities of Ryongyang could really begin! The parade began with Paratroopers up high above in the sky performing spectacular aerobic stunts, with the lead paratrooper carrying the National Flag proudly, the flag that no soldier would dare leave behind. Fighter Jets of the Koryoan Air Force flew overhead spectacularly, their roaring engines strike fear in the hearts of the enemies of Koryo!

Finally, the Parade began, with the 61st Parade Division leading, showing off the extremely well-disciplined Koryoan Military that defends the country. Many divisions were taking place in this parade, even mechanized ones that showed off the Koryoan M2020 Tank, one of the best tanks in the entire world.

The Sultana’s Guard Corps from the Sultanate of Mahra also made an appearance, displaying a different kind of march, but also displaying the importance of the Koryo-Mahra Friendship that shall last forever.

As more units began to pass, the end of the Parade began to near. With this, the National flag anthem (https://youtu.be/14ygqtc_UDw?si=zRqoFEfQ1PfH7a9I) began to sound as the Royal Honor Guard entered the Parade Square, carrying the National Flag proudly. The sight of the National Flag brought tears to the eyes of all who saw it, a display of the clear love and patriotism every Koryoan feels for their country.

General Ko Kwan-Sook ordered all troops to salute the National Flag of Koryo as it passed by. The Armed Services flags paid respect to the National Flag, showing that while there have been people who died protecting this flag, no one would dare live and leave this flag behind.

The Honor Guard reached the flagpole, and drums and trumpets sounded, as the National Anthem of Koryo (https://youtu.be/XbbUWtyx_PU?si=z17BXn4FDlhgURFn) began to play, the Soldiers tossing the flag into the air as it climbed into the sky, raising high above the land as everybody proudly sang the national anthem of their homeland! Tears flowed as all those in attendance proudly sang, especially loudly at the line “Koryo shall forever thrive!”

Fireworks erupted at the end of the National Anthem, as Koryo enters its 701st year of existence. Respected Empress Seol Sun-Hee then gave her annual address to the people. KCNA recorded the following snippet:

“As we enter 701 years of our existence as the greatest nation on Vesta, we must not forget the struggles that have gotten us here. Koryo continues to fight in two overseas operations, as Soldiers give their lives for the nation’s cause of opposition against terror and imperialism. We must also continue the work of the 30 years plan to continue development of our great nation’s capabilities and reach our full potential.”

Bercolle Assassinates Akarusian Leader

Yesterday the traitors of the Bercollese puppet regime committed a heinous and treacherous act, assassinating Akarusian opposition leader Eduard Quim by drone strike near Velaines.

This cowardly betrayal of our sovereignty and violation of our territory against a beloved figure only proves their regime can not be trusted, and the Akarusian people will not know peace until they are once again united.

Speaking in the hour after the attack, President Josep Soler called the assassination "an act of war" and declared that reprisals must be swift.

The incursion has forced Akarusian forces across the border onto high alert, in preparation for future incursion by Bercollese forces.

An Abbreviated Guide to Myonnian Elections: 2080

🕑Sep 13, 2080

With elections coming up once again this September, we prepared a quick primer to who’s who on the ballot list. Here is a quick rundown on the history and platform of each party.

Þiudawards

Þiudawards was formed in late 2045 by merger of the two major parties Þiudiskos and Haldandans. Under the leadership of the current Fauraandbahts, Anna Gunþimers, Þiudawards has seen consistent victories in the Raginadails. In fact, Þiudawards has been consistently forming majority governments since its inception, and if Þiudiskos is included in the timeline, as the core of the current party, they have not been in opposition since 2020. Þiudaward’s policies have been consistently to keep the status quo ante 2045, and their platform promises employment, security, and economic growth.

Faihugawaurki

Faihugawaurki was formed after a group of ex-Haldandans turned Þiudawards mutinied in the 2058 parliamentary session. Disgruntled with the commitment to the status quo, they struck a deal with the opposition party Ibnamahts, joining up to fill the candidate lists if they conceded their republican platform. Sigila Audawulfs kept his position as party leader, and kicked off a neoliberal wave that has been continuing to grow. Faihugawaurki’s platform consists of cutting government spending, privatizing state corporations, and joining the VA.

Fairƕus

Fairƕus is the oldest continuous party on the ballot, dating back to 1952. Though historically successful in pushing environmental issues, the current party has been factitious, with no clear direction or leadership. The most successful LRs have been in Austrawilanda, but the majority of party leaders are elected from urban areas and have not won their own constituencies. The current leader is never-elected Kreka Audamunda, from Wis Mikil. Only time will tell if they can get their act together. The party platform primarily targets land renaturalization and reforestation.

Current polling suggests Þiudawards continues to show a strong lead, despite attempts by Faihugawaurki to appeal to voters. With the Midjareiks publicly expressing support for Þiudawards, many voters continue to adopt his stance (or the Þiudans’s), while it appears the shadow of Ibnamahts still haunts Faihugawaurki. Meanwhile Fairƕus appears to be as irrelevant as ever under the current leadership. Independents in certain constituencies enjoy some support, but they are few and far in between.

From analysis of the 2074 election, the majority of Þiudawards support comes from an older population which went through the era of instability that ended in the 2040s, while Faihugawaurki has been attracting those of the younger generations. However, it appears that the peak of the neoliberal wave may already be past – recent polling is showing a rebound in intentions to vote for Þiudawards – so Faihugawaurki could be losing several seats this election.

The election date this year will be Monday, September 30. To vote at your local polling station, bring two pieces of government ID. You can find your closest polling station by entering your address at the Elections Mwon website: https://gawaleins.mwon.mn/gawaleinastaþs-sokies.aspx

If you have recieved a voter card by mail, you can bring it to expidite the process.
