Schmidt Under Fire Over Military Expansion
Interior Minister Konrad Schmidt is fighting for his political career following widespread criticism of his handling of the controversial military expansion programme.
Questions were...
I love shopping!
I’ve just ordered some military equipment from Kyiv, which is a new departure for me. Before this week I didn’t know much about armoured fighting vehicles, but I’ve since developed quite an appetite for them. After all, a girl only needs so many pairs of shoes but one can...
Now, that I didn’t expect.
The Kyivan foreign ministry has released a statement protesting our “unilateral, unprovoked, militaristic arms build-up”. Or, to put it another way, the country with an estimated 27,000 tanks is complaining that we’re trying to buy 270!
I’m not the only one who...
What a day!!!
Uncle Karl never ceases to amaze me. Earlier this week I was just about ready to write him off; but then today he goes and proves me wrong with a totally unexpected political masterstroke!
Basically, Konrad Schmidt wants five billion Thalers to raise three new brigades for...
I’ve come to the conclusion that Schimdt is cunning, but not actually clever. I say this because he’s already managed to get himself into hot water over the sensitive issue of defence.
It all started with a series of incidents abroad: a kidnapping in Nicosia, a separatist attack in Serbovia...
My first day as a princess…but the euphoria doesn’t last much beyond lunchtime. I feel like a spoilt child with a new toy; it’s enthralling for the first five minutes, but it soon becomes apparent that the reality of possession cannot hope to match the sheer weight of prior expectation. It’s the...
Thursday. Konrad Schimdt has just presented a bill to amend the Basic Law and now Parliament is busy debating whether or not to make me a princess. I’ve been getting some odd looks from a few of the delegates, but most seem supportive and the early signs are encouraging.
There is an expectant...

Government Reveals New Counter-Terrorism Unit
Walstadt. The Government has confirmed the existence of an elite police unit tasked with safeguarding the country against international terrorism.

This is all very well in theory, but in practice things don't always work out as they should...particularly where the map is concerned.
Straight from the horse's mouth- this is what people who go inactive without warning can expect from Sinhai the Mapmaker.
Now I have nothing against...
Normally I'd agree with you, Warr. However:
1. The longer we go without an update, the greater the chance that someone's claim will be overlooked or a spot 'double-booked';
2. With the rumoured Jurchen alterations, there is no guarantee that my spot will even be there come the next update...
