Cantignian Message/Akesson Speaks Out​

Cantignia​ Today the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that Cantignia had sent a very vague message earlier that could eitheer be construed as a congragulations for the new President, Kirsten Lange, and the Asylan people. However some analysts believe that the country had meant to insult Asylan by stating that a military junta had taken control of Asylan politics. "THE Friendly Confines heartily congratulate the Peoples & Patriots of Asylan on their full realization of Military Junta, for surely now they can orchestrate the rise of an Empire they always so desired yet failed to achieve. Thus, in recognition of the President-Elect's prowess in naval matters, this Grand Covenant of Cantignia sagely suggests at minimum a bilateral, and if all possible a multilateral naval non-aggression agreement between Asylan and Cantignia; God willing, Asylan and the European Mainland at large. May the every man, woman, and child see that war is not their desire - only the design of those rich with martial and political cunning, be they from Cantignia or Asylan, true mothers and fathers do not send their sons and daughters to die over the squabbles of these rich elite." "After considering the content of this message I've come to believe that Cantiginia was simply trying to relay its congratulations to a new and wildly different administration from former President Hollande. We would like to thank the Cantignians in their support for our political process however we believe it is necessary to make a statement on a few items. We would like to ensure that no country has the idea that Asylan under the control of the military, for which it is most assuredly not. We would also like to emphasize that Asylan has no desire to create a global empire, nor does it have the means to do so. Asylan also doe not desire war with any country and abhors the use of an army to force itself onto other countries." President Lange said in response, "We will always desire to remain at peace with the people of Cantignia" Akesson Speaks Out​ In Erdenshire, former rebel leader and political hopeful in the Eastern Cape Akesson has spoken out about his supposed arrest. Akesson stated, "I have not ever been in the custody of any authorities in the Eastern Cape. As of now I believe that my brother has been detained and been mistaken for me. I call upon the Eastern Cape to secure his release." Authorities in Erenshire have since confirmed that Akesson is in fact in Erdenshire, stating that whomever has been arrested must not be him.

Transfer of Power Complete​

Eastern Cape/Erdenshire​ The Eastern Cape, now formally known under the administrative region of Erdenshire, has been confirmed to have been transferred in control over to Asylan. Several months ago the Danish authorities in the Eastern Cape committed atrocities by killing tens of thousands of innocents in a brief civil war that ended in Danish victory. As a result, much of what little progress there had, was nearly destroyed following the brutal war. Under international pressure, the Danish government created an autonomous territory. After dispensing aid for a few months, and due to the Danes being involved in their own civil war, they ceded the territory to Asylan in hopes that they wouldn't have to waste resources on the territory. "Today we have an opportunity other nations rarely have, or if they do, squander upon it. The Eastern Cape, now known totally as Erdenshire, can begin again as a partner in its reconstruction. Asylan is proud to have the inhabitants of the country to join its family, and as family the Asylan government will do everything in its power to repair the damage done by the vile Danes during their brutal occupation. As of today, I have ordered five thousand of our troops to begin peacekeeping operations in the territory, and the Asylan Red Cross to begin an immediate expansion of operations throughout the region. As with its official incorporation into Asylan, all residents of Erdenshire will be considered full citizens of Asylan, with all the rights and privileges attached to such a citizenship. You will not be abandoned, your brothers and sisters are here for you now." Spoke President Lange in a speech in Eitlan. It had been confirmed that a deployment of five thousand men has in fact been dispatched to the troubled territory. The new Secretary for Economic Development, a new department created for the incorporation and development of Erdenshire, has also confirmed sweeping aid and development projects, stating that the recent downsizing of the Asylan navy has made such funding possible in the now.

 

[Asylan]

Transfer of Power Complete​

Erdenshire​ Over the past two week there have been two sizeable protests in Eitlan as many people have voiced there anger over the Asylan incorporating Erdenshire into Asylan territory. Several political action groups have mobilized condemning the government's actions of taking over. "What we have here is just another form of neo-colonialism, and while it may be no where as harsh or horrible as ones in the past, it still is what it is. Subjugation of another culture, and a waste of Asylan money." A leading representative from the coalition of action groups stated. However the government has also come out and described its position on the issue. Recent press releases from the government have described this as a "Golden Opportunity" for Asylan as both an economic and cultural opportunity. Government reports describe the now depopulated Erdenshire as a rich source of "dozens of varieties of valuable resources". However, after the Danish atrocities that occurred on the territory, the Department of Economic Development has estimated that nearly two million people were killed or fled the country, leaving an enormous manpower shortage. This has resulted in many old operations having to close their doors because there were not enough people that could be employed. What has been left is a massive business and population void that could only be filled with the intervention of a foreign entity. This new situation has created enormous foreign investment and employment opportunities. "The effects of the Danish massacre and economic destruction of the people of Erdenshire was horrifying and there is no justification for this actions, however this has opened up a unique economic and social environment in the territory. The economic system is open for relatively easy restructuring. This could allow for one of the most grand economic projects in Asylan history and could propel Asylan economic presence in the world very high. On top of this Asylan is capable of providing a lot of assistance to the new Asylan citizens living in Erdenshire. While the government has made the decision to slow allowing Erdenshire residents the ability to permanently relocate to the Asylan mainland, we believe this is the best way to fulfill the needs of both section of Asylan society." Many business leaders have approved of this, and many foreign investors have jumped at the opportunity to hit 'virgin lands' free of development in a relatively safe security situation since the Asylan administrative takeover. However some foreign companies have been distressed by this and have lowered their investment in the Asylan economy. At this point the end result seems uncertain, but the government appears to have created adequate funding possibilities it simply remains to be seen if it will be used correctly.

Crisis in Wendziema​

Asylan Recognition​ In a statement today, President Lange has announced, after a short vote in the National Council, that the Republic of Asylan will officially be recognizing the Rzeczpospolita of Wendziema as the legitimate success to the Danish Empire. "We are excited to announce Asylan recognition and support for the new government in Wendziema, which has thrown off the chains of oppression from the old regime and has begun to create for themselves a new and better world. While their political system may not work for the Asylan people, my administration believes that every culture must deem to rule itself as it sees fit. As we have observed so far, with our close working relationship, the people in Wendziema are living better, safer lives. They no longer have to live in fear of a minority government, which so cruelly lashed out at its on citizens and committed atrocities that were so drastic such as the terrible genocide in Erdenshire. With this in mind, the National Council, in cooperation with my administration have made the decision to forgive half of the former Danish public debt which Wendziema had assumed. We hope that this will greaty enhance relations between our two nations as well as help the Wendowie repair their country after such destruction." Most political commentators have hailed this as a positive move. With the Wendowie government in significant debt, this move on the part of the government has been seen as a strategy to improve relations and to help Wendziema recover after its mounting debts from the extended war. Újország​ The Carthapagian government has begun extensive military drills on the border of Wendziema and Twente. President Lange, shortly after recognizing Wendziema delivered a swift condemnation to Újország. "The Asylan government is incredibly worried at this new development in Újország, and are watching this closely. Our full, individual support lies with Wendziema at this time and we ask that both parties step carefully to avoid a confrontation. We have been in contact with Rzeczpospolita, and have begun to discuss methods of Asylan assistance that would be most fruitful in this situation."

 

[Eternal Empire]

In The Eyes of the Awakened Gods and Men,

The Golden Porte notes the increased activity in diplomatic channels as regards the entities on the western border of the realms under the jurisdiction of the Throne of the West. The Eternal One conveys his great worries about the signs of discord that have emerged from this region in the last few days and prays daily for the maintenance of the status quo in the area. In the spirit of the Eternal One's concerns, the Golden Porte considers it of paramount importance that no steps will be undertaken by any party that could be interpreted at agitating restless individuals towards ill-considered purposes.

Specifically, the Golden Porte notes that it expresses its apprehension about the Republic of Asylan's announced plans to support a political entity that is situated inside the perimeters of the collapsing Danish state against a perceived danger, while it is this support itself that could very well serve as the foundation of future hostilities. As such, the Golden Porte will stress that it will look unfavorable upon attempts by the Lords of the West to seize political capital in the regions that are of direct concern to the security and interests of the realms of the Eternal One, and that it expects any such potential moves to be forwarded to the State Office of Foreign Relations for previous consideration and consultation.

Long Live the Lord of the Thousand Lands,

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
CONTINENTAL REPUBLIC OF SYLVANIA

​

With the authority of the Continental Congress we would lodge a formal complaint to the National Council of Asylan in regards to the recognition of the anarchists in the former Danish Imperium. Recognition is one thing, but for the National Council to actually support the thuggery upon which this supposed government was founded on is downright deplorable and yet this is not even the extent of the insanity that has infected the Office of President Lange and the National Council. This debt forgiveness will only bolster these anarchists and give them more financial mobility in spreading their toxic views. Men have fought and died to stave off the Danish threat, good Sylvanian fighting men and now a nation that we find ourselves allied to is supporting an organization that can be just as much of a threat as the Danish crown was not too long ago. The Sylvanian people are sickened and angry at this foolish move and they demand that Asylan reverse its course.

We echo the sentiments of our Sylvanian neighbours. The free nations of Europe, those which respect the individual and his rights, including the fundamental right to own property, a right which is the foundation of a secure livelihood, should not kowtau to the forces of radicalism. As little sympathy as Brazul had for the former Danish government, it possesses even less amicable feelings for anarchists whose only goal is the disruption of order and law.

Sirs,

The show of support from the Republic of Asylan has given the Wendowie much hope for the future as a result of their recognition of our legitimacy. Further, the forgiving of half the debt we have inherited from the Dansk Reich gives the Rzeczpospolita much needed economic breathing room, and the generosity of Asylan shall never be forgotten by Wendziema. Let it be known that the Wendowie will do all they can to not misuse this generosity, but instead use it to further the cause of peace, prosperity and partnership in both the Rzeczpospolita and the Republic of Asylan.

Sincerely,
Boleslaw Zalenski
Overseer of International Affairs

Spokój. Dobrobyt. Współpraca.
