DEFENCE MINISTER ANNOUNCED SUCCESSFUL TEST OF NUCLEAR DEVICE DETONATION

---

Eldwynian armed forces has succeeded in detonating its first nuclear device. Defence Ministry Spokesperson, Arlene Tadson, announced the report in a press conference this morning, acknowledging that the test had been conducted deep within the Grand Gwyndell Mountains, helped tremendously by Eldwyn’s recent breakthrough in atomic science and nuclear energy. Mrs. Tadson declined to give comments on the mass resignations of members of the Eldwynian Royal Atomic Research Institute, purportedly of anger over the lack of transparency of the device's development.

The test is reported to be an underground detonation test that happened at 6 am Gwyndell Time. The device's detonation yielded up to 104 kilotons of TNT worth of explosive power. The explosion reportedly displaced upward of 11 million tons of soil. The device itself is weighed at 2,000 kg, and is part of the finished first batch of Eldwyn's nuclear warhead stockpile.

Recently, in an effort to make sure oppressed Aaqabaks know they have a safe place to live, Eyyxax I has reaffirmed that citizenship can be claimed if you are no more than 4 generations descended from a full blooded Aaqabak (someone who had both parents have a claim to Aaqabak citizenship, be Aaqabak citizens, or be born in the Aaqabak Kingdom or Republic) or if you pay the government 15000 TC or an equivalent in foreign currency. Because of this, the government has noted an increase in people applying for citizenship and an increase in money being given to the government.

Recently, a large deposit of ohyrbirxrxkonite has been discovered in the Blaztkrug. Ohyrbirxrxkonite, a major component in Red Air Drives produced by Red Phone and other similar projects, has always been thought as a rare mineral in nature, and thus much money has been spent on synthesis of the mineral inside a lab. This deposit could lead to a decrease in demand for artificial ohyrbirxrxkonite, as it is predicted that this deposit would be able to produce 16 million of these drives per year for 10 years. However, with artificial ohyrpirxrxkonite, the lifespan of this deposit could be extended, so it would be advantageous to continue using labs.

Due to concerns over treatment of our people in the western part of the United Federation of Nordellia, we have decided to send our king, Eyyxax I, to the UFN to discuss the promotion and enforcement of laws to get hate criminals out of Nordellia. Due to how dangerous this might be, he will be accompanied by guards to the meeting, provided by the Nordellian government. To make sure the people don't riot, we asked them if they would approve of his departure, and 81% of those polled said they would approve.

Recently, king Eyyxax Xyaak has declared that items that have values that are not a whole numbers are becoming commonplace enough that to round them to closest TC is letting some businesses receive far more than the inventory they sold is worth, so metal coins have been decreed to be a necessity. The coins will be based on 1/100 of a TC, which will be called an Ekatobitobi (hundredth in Aeo). The coin worth one of these will thus be called the Ekatobitobi coin. 0.05 TC will be represented by the Ekobitobi (twentieth in Ashoy). 0.1 TC will be represented by the Oinjunbun (Oinjucnbucn, tenth in Qaf). 0.2 TC will be the Humtohy (Xëmxtohy, fifth in Northbashiditto), and 0.5 TC will be represented by the Tenudny (Tnudnyc, half in Kir). The names were chosen based on the language of a corresponding tribe from the beginning to the end of our name. The value of the coins does not indicate feelings of the value of those tribes. The coins will display the symbol of the corresponding tribe.

Due to the fact that the Bash in our name changed, we have been working to change the symbol for Bash on the flag. We first had to find a suitable symbol for Bash, then we had to change it. Then we had to move the symbols to not make it look wonky. But now it has been done, and the Towerpawn representing the Southern Bash has been replaced with the Capped Tridentpawn representing the Northern Bash. Should we have spent so much money doing this? No. Did we? Yes. Riot about it.

As an act of togetherness with our new neighbor and mutual ally Vahvokansomaa, we have decided to build a new military base on the border between The Delta and the Canitian territory of Itäjokisuistomaa. This base will be aptly named Sarhadon Ke Beech Military Base, "Sarhadon Ke Beech" meaning "Between Borders" in the Bharata language, which is the dominant language of both of the territories. This would also introduce Aaqabak developments into the eastern Delta and hopefully lead to a full integration of the native residents of the Delta into Aaqabak society. We are very happy about our diversity of dark-skinned people.

After several months, it has been decided that the capital of the delta will be 2 capitals, Beoet and Qusiuzoi. They have had about equal prominence in the Delta, and neither of them would be willing to give up their title. They also serve different purposes, with Qusiozoi being an important city of commerce due to it being located on the shortest path to Reccannae and mainland Vahvokansomaa, and Beoet being a central city that also has a rich history, meaning there is already buildings and cities nearby where we can integrate more people. We have also decided to make the cities of Oluhohholobi and City Akabakdemnuk into "independent cities". This increases us to 5 tribes and 2 independent cities with 14 capitals.

Recently, the original Book of the Hundred, written in by the Hundred Saints of Grand Hundredism, has been stolen from the Moxbiepo ojnobi Pfojnobi biojno Mehaxbipp Ekatontaaa in Aeox. Containing the original messages in a variety of different forms that could only be interpreted by Oeotz and the Saints, only parts of which have actually been translated into common language, it is valued at 32,117,121 TC. Sometime during 1/30, someone walked in, punched in the case holding the item, and ran out, concealing themself as someone frightened by the alarm that breaking the case caused. Police are still searching for the person.

King Eyyxax I departed for a trip to Nordellia some time ago. However, no news from Nordellia has been made at any point since when he was supposed to arrive, and no correspondence from him has been received since he departed. This is concerning, as the king is not known to be silent on matters of these. Some have begun to believe he has been murdered in a targeted act of violence against him before he could meet with the authorities who were supposed to protect him, either because he is Aaqabak or because he rules over the Aaqabaks. Some also believe he was killed by the authorities. Where are you, Eyyxax?

Because of how important the missing two are (one is the main head of state, and the other is a document to the largest religion in the country), the organization behind Regime news will track how long they have been missing to give the people some form of transparency in how competent the government is in finding them. If they are found quickly, then that will show well of the leadership of Eyyxax Xyaak I. If not, some people might get incredibly angry at the government, because the longer they are missing, the more jeopardy they are in. Neither affect us.

Recently, the government of HRM Eyyxax Xyaak I has finished the canal between our 2 southern rivers, the Euxxoykaojxoxotamoy and the Ucdyucmc. This increases the number of cities accessible by boat from the Delta, and makes you able to sail to Aobash from the Blaztkrug, meaning the majority of the pieces of Aeox can access the rest by river. It also means we can ship goods from Kirox to the rest of the world without having to go through Marlducro. All of the Aaqabak kingdom can use rivers for most of their transport now! Except Bash because Bash is in the center.

Recently, in a by-election triggered to avoid being purged from office by the wrath of Eyyxax Xyaak I, Aaornxohyrbin-Raxbimoxaon "Raxbi" Aaernxohyror, generally considered the worst politician ever due to the fact that, after he was purged from office for being incredibly bigoted, he returned by using backroom deals to reverse his termination by nesting it in a popular bill at the last second, has lost his "popularity contest" election to Xrxolon olon Katanolobihyrorn III, the fictional "count of Doom" played by Hernxotoxoron Karnxbhteron, after olon Katanolobihyrorn made no promises other than to allow one house to be built and to lower taxes for everyone except Aaernxohyror. He will be inaugurated in 2 days.

The city of Oluhohholobi has been determined to not be where Eyyxax I is located. Due to historical reasons, there is only one way to enter the city of Oluhohholobi, and that is through Bashiditto Route 1. Because the city wanted to ensure safety and not be burned down after the attempted assassination of Eyyxax Xyaak that reduced his home city to ashes, they have put a toll booth on this route, meaning every visitor is catalogued. Ashoy and Bashiditto officials have recently, after much investigation, concluded that noboby resembling Eyyxax has come through.

Recently, over the news hearing that people to our south have stopped obeying any government, some have called to establish a second seaport colony with the goal of protecting the importation of goods into AAQBK from the south, as the nation of Archangel still exists nearby and could reasonably claim the river. However, legislation that would allow federal funding of a seaport area has been divisive, as some claim we "couldn't reasonably govern it" and "it's too far" despite other nations and ourself being able to govern such colonies far from us. Recently, the House of Elected vote occured on it, and in a 318-319 ratio, the vote has lost. The one who made the critical vote, Tmvtnbucn Tmylouimcdnyucc, claims that he made the choice on the basis of common sense.

Due to the fact that the tiebreaking elector, Mr. Tmyouimcdnyucc, was rumored (incorrectly) to have been born in Archangel, some believe that he was part of a secret plot by the Archon government to prevent us from gaining the seaport. However, this is likely false. The nation of Archangel has been dealing with a brutal civil war lately with a force mostly consisting of savages who believe they are better than humans, and it seems unlikely that they would focus their resources on bribing 319 members of parliament instead of trying to defeat the hostile force that has started uprisings trying to kill innocent people and other uprisings.

Recently, a 24 year old missing Archon Teacher, Jann Kastanien, has been found murdered via immolation in a mall parking lot after his body was reported by a concerned citizen in the morning. After checking footage, it is apparent that Kastanien was burning for several minutes before he died, shoppers at a nearby store could have heard the sound of his screams, and people would likely have noticed the fire. Therefore, it has been investigated, because it's suspicious nobody reported it. It is now apparent that, at an unusual hour, at least 100 people rushed into the store and started making noise when the screams began. After he died, his killers sprayed him with a fire extinguisher and carried him in front of another store that was closed, and the people left the store. Strangely, most of the people in on the plot paid with bank cards, giving us their identity. A few others were ratted out by the people. They will all be charged with three life sentences. They will be put in a secure prison. The Overarching Story of Archangel can take them if they wish. Unfortunately, the killers of Kastanien are still at large, and this case has sent king Eyyxax Xyaak I to question the good he's done for the country and the world, so he will withdraw and allow our prime ministers to run the nation.

In addition to the large arrest of people after the death of Kastanien, we have also located king Eyyxax I alive in a mine outside of Tuubucbucucdnyucmjmiucbc, Aeox. He had arrived in the mine due to many issues. He apparently spent the entire time in the cave with a group of people who attempted to report that they had the king but were ignored. He also, strangely, was right next to 2 deconstructed replicas of Ijuubuc Dinucc the Tin Man's metal suit he wore for appearances and a very strong magnet. He has to stay in the hospital for a prolonged checkup, so the prime ministers are still in charge.
