The Alliance of Dictators

Island Zero wrote:

Following the receival of this message the Zeron government welcomes the Church of Positivity into the country with open arms. Despite the largely secular Zeron population, the government has made it a point to preserve religious freedom on the islands and gladly accepts the Church's endeavor to open new facilities and branches in Zero.

Considering the extreme environment of Island Zero, the teacher would not make plans to travel to The Furnace yet, but a delegation of fifty disciples would be sent to tell the good news and gather a new memberbase. Uniquely to Zero, the church would focus on a digital missionary campaign, creating targeted ads insinuating coolness and refreshment in the teachings of the master and rejecting of material life. The website the church ran, due to its members' Carytonic origin, was quite primitive but still shared a hopeful message nonetheless.

This creates an objective for the church while in Island Zero- secure modern technology and trained technicians. The intentions of this objective go beyond making a better-looking website.

The in-person missionaries post real-copies of similar posters, and offering people yoga, meditation, and life-help seminars which would be slow inductions into the group, complimented by more direct proselytizing. The entire delegation would stay in The Furnace due to the harshness of the outside world and anywhere without air conditioning.

They would quickly buy out a space for the first dojo, and would open for whatever number of people are interested.

PRKNNBS - There was an attack on a Jewish synagogue in the city of Yanatuska this attack resulted in the deaths of 28 Jews by 3 people calling themselves the Eisenhand (iron hand) we don't know if there are more than those three we hope there isn't more would come as new information comes.

OOC: sorry for this being short I couldn't think of anything more to say :b

New Franshire

Date: July 17th 3:30 PM

The people were celebrating. Fireworks blasted into the sky, people were dancing to popular music instead of their everyday propaganda, also that the army were dancing along with the crowd. With all being well, the Kaiser flew back to Skerania while the entirety of New Franshire were having the best day of their lives.

(OOC: Sorry I was inactive for a bit, had to do lots of things that I had to get done.)

The Controlist Ferwerter Union wrote:

Stahitmao stands up and as soon as he is standing the rest of the delegation rises in synchrony. "It has been a true pleasure and I am looking forward to future contact. I am sure there are many more opportunities for cooperation to be exploited. May the friendship between our peoples last for ten thousand years. I wish you a good trip home. You are always welcome back." And with that Lilie and her diplomats were escorted back to Ferwert Harmony International Airport where they were met again by a crowd of enthusiastic children offering them flowers. Stahitmao and his delegation wave the Westbeechians goodbye. "Well that went well. I guess our exuberant hospitality has helped."

After the plane had taken off, Lilie sat back in her chair. "For wanting stability, they put on quite a show for foreign powers. I appreciate the sentiment, but I do wonder what kind of effect that has on their government. Speaking of, I wonder what could happen should that election turn sour. Perhaps it is through these talks they might be open to more change for the better, but I have my doubts on the matter. Hopefully things continue on in the correct course, whatever that may be, otherwise there could be many unexpected consequences across borders."

Coalition Up in Arms

After the attack on an Arquitens light cruiser by a force described only as the Teronian Corporation, the Galactic Coalition, led by Lilie Korban, meets to discuss what must be done.

A hologram in a grand building showed the inside of the Arquitens that was attacked. There was a great deal of noise and not much could be heard until the doors to the bridge blew open and the droids that entered open-fired upon the Westbeechian crew members. The fighting was quick, as the droids overwhelmed the area. As they began filing into the bridge, one approached the source of the hologram and disabled it, causing the hologram to dissipate. The entire building was suddenly in complete chaos, representatives from different civilizations shouting about if it was real or what could be done about the issue. Lilie Korban, on a floating platform in the center of the building stood up from her chair. “Representatives, I ask you to calm down. There are much better ways to approach this than shouting over each other.”

As the crowd grew quiet, Lilie cleared her throat and began speaking again. “The attack upon our cruiser was done by a fleet under a group known as the Teronian Corporation. Westbeechian information specialists have confirmed that their organization is in control of several systems in the outer reaches of the galaxy. We have also confirmed the existence of a form of cooperation between civilizations out there, each using extremely similar, if not the same, technology. When contacted by our investigators, they called themselves the Corporate Alliance. They have a great deal of control and influence in the outer reaches of our galaxy and have been operating like this for many years. I motion we attempt to discuss the issue with the heads of this alliance at once, and should they refuse, I will move for the Coalition to make appropriate measures to prevent this Corporate Alliance from threatening the safety of our member states.”

There was cheering from the majority of the room, satisfied with the straightforward response Lilie had provided, but there were still some murmurs that were less audible. One thing was clear, though: the Coalition was behind Lilie and was going to support her no matter what she decided.

Afterwards, in the military headquarters on Koriban

“We shall offer these specific hyperspace routes to the Corporate Alliance, bypassing all Coalition security but our own, allowing them to reach multiple systems deep within Coalition territory. This way, their representatives will have greater reason to fear the galaxy and what it may offer. It will most certainly force them to put more money into protecting themselves against threats that we most certainly could already crush.” Tiprin had already prepared the specific routes that were to be sent through private channels. “Once they receive these, they will send fleets in a pre-emptive strike to weaken the Coalition, only to realize they struck the weakest of our member states. It will also offer an opportunity to show our troops on the battlefield and further reinforce the idea behind a reliance upon Westbeechian security.”

Lilie smiled. “Then you may go ahead with your plan, Tiprin. I want the fleet ready to respond as soon as the Corporate Alliance has occupied those planets. Only then should we respond to the issue.”

So behind the wheels of democracy are the means for authoritarianism to rise.

Sweeping Labor Rights Legislation Enacted

Category: Business

Today in an unexpected move, along with multiple other pieces of legislation, came the Conall Labor Act, which much like all other pieces of legislation drafted in the nation, took effect immediately. The Conall Labor Act is the first and only law in the nation regarding labor rights, and establishes a basis for future pieces of labor rights legislation.

Employers and employees alike both now have the officially inscribed right to file complaints against one another, and in addition to that, certain forms of paid and unpaid leave are legally mandated under the new law to be recognized and respected by employers. Multiple scholars with the University Of Opposh, Makko Oko U and Khonburgh College Of Business have chimed in regarding this new era of labor rights and respect, with one professor with the Khonburgh College Of Business going as far as to say that "Now we don't have to step on any toes, we know what we can and can't do, and while [CENSORED], we'll make do."

A law scholar with the University Of Opposh stated that this legislation has a direct correlation with another law that also passed today, known as the Defense Mobilization Act, which is the first military defense legislation enacted after the official discontinuation and end of, conscription in the nation. The DMA actively funds businesses during times of war should a general mobilization be declared. Furthermore, it also penalizes and punishes those who refuse a general mobilization.

Reich Francs can now be used as payment in Skerania

The Imperial Ministry of Finance dcided that the National currancy of New Franshire can from now on be used as payment in The Empire of Skerania. This should be an important gesture of friendship and understanding between our two peoples, stated the spokesman for the Imperial Ministry of Finance.

“Those who truly believe in the Sisters will always find victory in the end. Whether in life or in death, the salvation of one’s soul is the truest victory.” Rising proclaimed, sounding like a real zealot. She turned back to the statue of Celestia and Luna, clapping her hooves in prayer once more. “It is by Their Grace that we exist and we shall repay them with faithful service.” The Abbess bowed her head low as Skia knelt, quietly praying himself.

"I... see," Pearlescent said quietly.

She really truly hoped that the Abbess was right, but the young noblemare was still somewhat unnerved by the casual disregard for individual soldiers' lives the Novumequines occasionally showed. For them, death for a just cause was a perfectly acceptable outcome, and they were willing to spend soldiers like Equestrian soldiers spent ammunition to achieve even minor victories.

But at least they didn't consume the souls of others in unholy vampiric rituals and still claim to be the good guys, all the while hiding their shameful secrets behind false smiles and noble looking exteriors, so they would still be an improvement over the current rulers of Equestria...

"If we are now officially dead," Shield said, "should we assume new identities again, at least until Little Miss is ready to announce the crimes of her father and the other nobles to the public? Or will you simply keep us hidden aboard your ships? I don't think even Duke Silver can divine our location up here, and if he truly thinks we are dead, he probably won't even try."

Sonorous looked to the two vaunted names of Chaos holding him back from Rainbow. Alula, who had lost friend, family and home to the Bloodrain and Ardour, one of the last survivors of the Wonderbolts Marine Chapter who once called Debased Loyalty one of their finest. “Very well, if these two vouch for you, I will stay my judgement. Come, the ritual starts within the sanctum.” He headed back behind the statue as Ardour let out a sigh and Alula removed the rest of her armour. “Shed your uniform, General. Let no sin hide underneath.” She said as she waited for Rainbow.

With some hesitation, Rainbow removed her uniform and armored shoes. It felt strange being without clothes for once. Although most Equestrian Ponies didn't wear anything except during special occasions, and Rainbow herself had spent almost half of her life entirely naked, as Twilight's top military commander she had become used to wearing either a uniform or a ceremonial armor. Without her armor, she was somewhat leaner and more sinewy than during her carefree youth, and had also gained a number of scars. But she was still strong and healthy, and without the additional weight of her armor, she almost felt like she could take to the scies and do a sonic rainboom again... But of course, this was no time to show off. Those days were long behind her, buried under many years of death, worry and immense responsibility she had never quite felt ready for, yet it had come to her regardless...

Leaving her clothes in a not-so-neat pile on the ground, she followed Alula into the sanctum.
