well, I was kinda hoping you could copy the vector version of https://i.imgur.com/wW7ruG9.png this map (green territory is Hintuwan) into the currently being worked regional one I just want to have physical neighbours but I'm okay with being placed anywhere that's most convenient

Vector version? Is it available somewhere? Simply downloading a .png or .jpg and converting it into a vector probably won't work.

Minor demonstrations at Congressional Hall end peacefully

GEORGINE || Earlier this week, a small group of dissenters gathered at the Capitol Building in Georgine to advocate for the installation of computers and the internet into the Spiritual Republic of Caryton. The total number of protesters numbered approximately sixty to eighty men and women who sporadically assembled throughout the week. The Dorothy Shirleyton University study which revealed harrowing projections for the future of Aeterna's youth further cemented the Congress' dedication to upholding the status quo of separation from globalization and the safeguarding of the Carytonic identity and way of life.

A brief survey of many of the dissenters revealed an insight into their motives and reasoning. Over half of the protesters exclaimed general feelings of upset or resentment towards the Carytonic government's ruling system and social laws. About seventy-five percent of the protesters said that the current policy infringed on freedom of speech and press. Many of them endorsed a separation of church and state. Over half expressed feelings of upset for women's rights, with a few of those expressing feelings of upset for the LGBT rights.

A counter-protest was held across from the protesters who gathered at the gardens and pavilions of the Congressional Hall, where both stood in plain view of many of the Congresspeople as they went to and fro their duties. Among the counter-protesters were everyday Carytonic citizens, representatives from the Joyful Prophecy Temperance Union, and clergymen of the Gospel Church of Caryton and other churches. The highest number of concurrent counter-protesters sat at nearly 100. Sides exchanged chanting and picketed for a while, but a combined force of Georgine-Abraham Metropolitan Police ensured lawful compliance.

Demonstrations ended yesterday night as the protest lost momentum. The Carytonic stance on the matter remains the same without change.

So-called "Church of Positivity" raises eyebrows

MARLEY || On the 1st of the month, a new religious movement submitted an application to the Registry of Recognized Religions in doing so sending an official declaration of a faith's existence and an application for all religious benefits in Caryton. The group is known as the Church of Positivity.

Not much is known of the Church of Positivity, but witness testimonials and intercepted propaganda leaflets pose a deepening concern for all Christians in the state. The leading guru and so called "Holy Teacher", Hadrian Ariano, has emerged as leader to his 10,000-some followers. Ariano, born of a single father (a successful pharmacist), has went off the grid for several years to live in the woods of the Northern Authority. A few years ago, he set up a "self-help" group advertising purification and enlightenment rituals.

The group's teachings are syncretic and new age, taking from every major organized and unorganized religion in Aeterna. Members are expected to live ascetically and in communes. Any teachings or beliefs beyond this point are unknown but the group's secretive rhetoric and unorthodox and heretical beliefs have already drawn many to use the "cult" label. The Church's application is processing.

Welcome! It's great to have you here.

I've realised that I've completely neglected to make it known over here: we now have an IC news thread, accessible through the link here or through the link in the World Factbook Entry.

This is also a good time to recommend that you join the regional Discord channel if you haven't, already.
