Formation of Ministries Announced ​ Mos Attraya, Attray-hmat – In an interview held during the regularly scheduled 8 o'clock morning news on the JMR radio channel, President Juma announced that the two Committees he'd created at the conclusion of the Liberation War would be disbanded by the year's end and replaced with full and separate ministries. “It's taken us five years,” Juma joked in a back and forth with newscaster Thurman Ngubi, “but we've finally managed to import enough cabinets.” The President stated that the work of the Committees was now effectively finished, they having served their purpose and established an acceptable baseline and infrastructure from which more permanent institutions could now take over. Transitioning from the two broad committees to the ministerial system will be a gradual process that will slowly take place over the remainder of the year, with powers being procedurally transferred from one to the other until the final dissolution of both committees on December 31st, per Presidential decree. Thus, the Committee for National Reconciliation and Reconstruction is slated to be replaced in all of its capacities by three separate ministries: the Ministry of the Interior, headed by Liso Dutang, the Ministry of Finance, unsurprisingly headed by Adamu Tisomine, and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, to be lead by Christopher Duke. The Committee for Education and Integration will be replaced by two ministries: the Ministry of Education, under Dr. Antoine Distassi-Marquis, and the Ministry of Integration, Assimilation, and Linguistic Development, headed by an associate of the President's in the form of Dr. Timon Zavin-Kintasha. Major-General Adama Alexandre-Nge has also been confirmed as the official head of our Republic's armed forces with his appointment as the first Minister of War by President Juma, this being the sixth and final ministry to be created by Presidential order. Of note however is the fact that unlike the five other ministries, Alexandre-Nge's Ministry of War will come into existence immediately within two day's time, with the appropriate facilities in Mos Attraya having already been set aside for it. This coincides with assurances from the President that this in no way is indicative of future military activity on the part of our republic, and is instead part of an ongoing effort to consolidate and streamline the logistics and organization of the armies still in service since the Liberation War. “I am hopeful that the establishment of a dedicated administrative body,” said Alexandre-Nge, who was also briefly present on the show, “will serve to greatly improve the efficacy of our defensive forces.” Similar statements have been made by all the ministerial appointees who, in their capacities as members of the committees which they'll be replacing, have already begun the work of setting the scene for the final transfer of authority and jurisdiction to these new federal institutions. The newly appointed Minister of War, Major-General Adama Alexandre-Nge​	Grain Magazine System Coupled With New Tariff Law ​ Mof Kizh-ata, Bayou – The Committee for National Reconciliation and Reconstruction (CNRR) has today approved, with the explicit permission of President Juma, the introduction of several new tariffs on grain exports from our republic. This is meant to fall in line with the most recent effort by the CNRR to preempt poor harvests and production shortfalls in the future through the establishment of a network of grain magazines throughout the provinces. With the famine of the previous year having caused some great concern among both the government and much of the population, the CNRR is endeavoring now to prevent any further such catastrophes by maintaining state-owned reserves of grain which can be released into the public market whenever the price of grain reaches a certain threshold. However, in order to fill their magazines, the CNRR has established a hefty tariff on grain being exported from our republic. What this essentially means is that most farmers which had formerly been able to ship their produce overseas or to nearby Occidental states are now forced to sell their goods to the government instead, which they claim isn't providing anywhere near as good a profit margin for them. “We've had just a tiny taste of commercial liberty,” said a prominent landowner, Jacque Amoine-Kuyarn, in Bayou, “and now it's gone just as quickly as it'd come.” Disgruntlement with the newly implemented system is already quite obvious throughout the provinces, with several farmers having begun to discuss the possibility of forming an agricultural conglomerate to compensate for the increased tariffs. Others have asked as to why this particular method was adopted, which seems like a coercive tactic to many, as opposed to a system of imports and local purchases. “We're not trying to deal a blow to farmers,” CNRR spokesman Saffa Kiyane commented, adding that “this is a temporary measure. It is imperative that we are able to fill up our reserves prior to the end of the summer, in the event of another drought towards the winter months.” Nonetheless, the damage done to their businesses this year, which for the most part have only been active now for five years if not less, is “quite significant” according to individuals such as Amoine-Kuyarn. “We are at a critical stage,” he points out, “where the profitability of our operations need to be assured to insure further productivity.” Vague offers of future compensation have been put forward by various CNRR representatives and spokespeople, with mixed reception among the farming community. Several appeals have already been filed to the CNRR and to President Juma himself, with counter-proposals offered forth by several local revolutionary councils. So far, it seems that the measure will stand until the magazines are indeed filled. Military officials and standing governors in the affected provinces have however reported the possibility of protests and minor demonstrations beginning in urban centers and major market areas. As it stands, none have expressed any attention to prevent any such civil gatherings, though Desmond Tushanbe, the military governor of Bayou, has stated that he will stand by any decision made by the federal government. Mof Kizh-ata, Bayou – the CNRR and the local Bayou Revolutionary Council reports that nearly 150km of freshwater marshland has now been drained through efforts begun last fall, with nearly all of the territory cleared slated to be converted to farmland for public use. The majority of the land will be distributed to aspiring farmers or smaller farming collectives close to the start of the next planting season. Port République, Zoav Floodplains – a string of murders in the city has prompted the local military-governor, Simone Adumgard, to introduce a curfew for the span of several days. Several arrests have been made, and investigations are being conducted in conjunction with federal officials from Mos Attraya. Mos Attraya, Attrayan Heartland – the canal project, which aims to link the Zoav and Quivre rivers together, has run into an obstacle in the form of a layer of bedrock positioned in its path. Though the majority of the ground that required shifting was composed of soft chalk, clay, and lighter rock, a small plateau of bedrock, rising about 200m to 500m some 80km south of the eastern fork of the Quivre, has impeded progress. Officials have stated that they've presently suspended work on the project pending a discussion as to what their imminent course of action will be. It is speculated that they'll try to go around the obstruction, which will result in lengthening the canal by about 20km.

“Thank you for the opportunity to speak here tonight, Antoine, I'm most appreciative of it. I'm delighted to see just how far this station has come since the middle of the previous decade – when it was practically underground. Truly remarkable; perhaps representative of our state's development as a whole, no?

Now, I'd like to address a very specific issue tonight. A frequent correspondent of mine in Ivernia recently wrote to me, relating that though the creation of our Republic was celebrated in some circles – indeed, this being the first time that the entirety of the Zoav and all her tributaries and resources are united under one power – there is nevertheless some hesitance among investors and entrepreneurs in dedicating their time and efforts here. In particular, though there is no longer anymore fighting to be spoken of within the territory of our Republic, the seizure by the state of lands formerly owned by colonial small property-holders or monolithic imperial corporations has had the greatest effect in discouraging foreign investment.

I believe that there is a fundamental misunderstanding here. The confiscation of lands held by colonial authorities falls perfectly in line with the precepts I have laid out for our successful revolution five years ago. We cannot allow the system which has allowed for our persecution and exploitation to continue existing in any form if we are to be able to create for ourselves both a state and a nation.

Were these entities and peoples allowed to retain control over enormous quantities of productive and arable land, then there were would no change. The business of government is business, and the waning and waxing forces of business and economics are intertwined with the powers and responsibilities of government. Sovereignty and true, lasting liberty, could never be assured if colonial institutions were allowed to remain – this is a simple fact.

Our erstwhile colonial overlords continue even now to put forward the argument that our usurpation of power in their far-flung occidental holdings was an illegal act, perpetrated as it was through a mixture of “sedition, violence, and criminality.” I will immediately point out however that these arguments are wholly hypocritical, for with them comes the unspoken implication that the basis for power in their own societies and states -isn't- violence – when this is patently untrue. How else did the white nations come to dominate Occidentia, to claim vast swathes of land and to extinguish near in their entirety the native peoples of this continent? How else did the huddled masses of black Himyar find its way here if not as part of the mechanism of exploitation, violence, and greed? Slavery still reigns! To the north, in its most primitive and reprehensible form – and to the east and the south, as debt slavery or under the guise of “indenturement!”

This is the greatest hypocrisy of the white colonial powers. That we refuse now to fall in line with their whims and objectives, that we dare to stand against the forces of imperialism and colonialism, is a most frightening prospect – and one which doubtless resonates throughout economic circles even in those places we might wish to engage with as partners.

I can understand that, but I will make the following assurance: we value personal property here in the Republic.

What we took away from our former “benefactors” was not what we gave or sold willingly. What we now offer will be done so with the utmost respect for international codes of conduct and laws for monetary and economic transactions. The seizure of the properties during the revolution was an exception, not the rule, and a necessary drastic measure undertaken to secure the future prosperity and economic vitality of our Republic.

I hope that this message will provide some elucidation to those in wish of it, and to help alleviate the worries and concerns of prospective eastern investors. My assurances are not empty words, but backed up by the progress that's already being seen all across the Republic – from Bayou to the Haigland.”

Attreyan Academy for the Arts and Sciences inaugurated! ​ Mos Attraya, Attray-hmat – Military-Governor Ilan Bitome of Mos Attraya and Chairman Mbate Jiman of its local revolutionary council recently inaugurated and formally opened the Attreyan Academy for the Arts and Sciences (AAAS) on behalf of President Juma. The institution, the first proper university within the territory of our republic, was first conceived, planned, and ordered to be established by Presidential decree nearly two years ago, with construction having rapidly progressed. Now, the two kilometer campus located just a short bus ride from the center of Mos Attraya will serve as the first institution of higher learning within the country, with Dr. Antoine Distassi-Marquis, the appointed Minister of Education, to serve as its head as well. To coincide with the opening, several dozen teachers and professors from across the world have been formally and cordially invited to teach at the AAAS, so as to ensure a certain quality of education. The colonial system ensured that few Attreyans have anything like a doctorate or a college degree, and so foreigners must fill the void for the time being – but the gap will be filled, Dr. Distassi-Marquis emphasizes. As a consequence, to accommodate foreign educators (and to make graduates more productive and viable internationally), the primary language of instruction will be French in the AAAS. With the language set to be taught alongside Atta in public schools across the country (more and more popping up each day), and it already enjoying great prominence in our society, it is anticipated that its use will not be problematic as a temporary measure – until a sufficiently educated indigenous intellectual pool comes into being. The vast majority of the professors who've agreed to come are from Sylvania, with a handful also hailing from Tyrculir and Ivernia; nations who have been friendly to the revolutionary cause in the past. Education will be provided free of all charges to students who meet a certain criteria in terms of performance and behavior, with voluntary and free placement exams administered in each of the provincial capitals to determine eligibility. “You don't have to be finishing secondary school to go to the Academy,” Dr. Distassi-Marquis put in, “anyone with the will to learn, regardless of age or occupation, can do so. Study hard, and you'll be rewarded!” The exams test a student's knowledge of Atta, French, general mathematics, and their reasoning skills – with the examinations having reportedly been drawn up with the President's direct involvement. They're proven to be relatively effective, as well, with the first class having already been chosen and assembled on campus to begin their education. The first day of class will be next week, and it marks the beginning of the creation of an educated Attreyan nation. Some construction work is still ongoing, though all of it is projected to be complete by the time classes begin. Facilities have been constructed to allow for a wide range of different courses, including greenhouses, various laboratories (designed in the eastern style), a pair of gymnasiums, and plethora lecture halls. The administrative and logistical web required for the institute's operation has already been spun, with administrators and educators having spent the last several months preparing the school for the first summer semester. "This is only the first school of many," President Juma happily remarked, when interviewed later. "For a country of our size, one is not enough. Our efforts to provide education to the whole of the people must continue unabated." Mof Kizh-ata, Bayou – a local Protestant pastor has been run out of town by an angry mob after he tried to force couples where one partner is Protestant and the other not to sign a contract stating that the child will be raised Protestant. With a population split near in half between several different protestant sects and the Tiburan rite, the Bayou Revolutionary Council has stated that this was an example of exceedingly poor judgement on the part of the pastor, whose evangelism is commendable but "presently inadvisable" according to official comment. Port République, Zoav Floodplains – Military-governor Simone Adumgard ends the curfew early, with several suspects having been arrested since its inception and one having finally confessed of murder. The culprit, a mixed man by the name of Thomas Huitard, is believed to be deranged, as his behavior has been described as "erratic" and "uncontrollable" by the militiamen who brought him in. Adumgard and the local revolutionary council are currently holding a closed meeting to decide on how to proceed, as there is no actual law in place to deal with such cases where the person being charged is insane. Mos Attraya, Attrayan Heartland – Major-General Adama Alexandre-Nge has announced the creation of two new entities by the Ministry of War, both of which will ultimately be subordinate to it. He has been given funding by the CNRR and the President's office to allow for a General Staff to be created for the Attreyan Revolutionary Army, and for a Federal Commissary Commission to be chartered, it to be responsible for the logistics and supply of all Attreyan military forces. A handful of appointments have already been made to the General Staff, including Colonels Ronald Tazg and Mbate Dukame, both well known for their excellent performance and exploits during the Liberation War. Thomas Kiya-Aduis, a prominent eastern-educated economist and a stoic fighter during the war, has been appointed as Commissioner of the FCC, he promising to serve it and the country to the best of his ability. This is part of an ongoing series of reforms to standardize and modernize the armed forces, to bring them in line with international standards of quality and organization.

The arrests come in the wake of a spree of executions and property seizures ordered by part of the council, primarily aimed at “mixed” (half-white, half-black) property-holders along the southern stretch of the Quivre river. With nearly a dozen individuals having been killed since the original order was given, President Juma has decidedly stepped in to put an end to it by taking the perpetrators into custody. “I would like to assure all of you,” President Juma said during a press conference to discuss the matter, “that such excesses will not be tolerated. We are still going through the trauma and difficulty of birth, but this remains a state bound by laws.” Meanwhile, there have been promises of reimbursement and compensation to the families of those affected by the tragedies, with the land to be returned to those that remain alive. Standing doctrine among the HRC dictates that mixed landowners should be allowed to retain their properties, and the remaining councilmen claim that their fellows acted without their knowledge or consent. This latest example of autonomous action by these local revolutionary elements has caused some debate and consternation in Mos Attraya, with pundits coming before the CNRR and the President both to point out that the revolutionary councils (and, indeed, the militias they're obliged to control) may perhaps have become obsolete. With the planned implementation of the ministry system, some have wondered if not a reform might be implemented so as to bring proper civilian administration to the provinces, rather than relying on the revolutionary councils and military governors. “The councils were always intended as a halfway and temporary entity,” commented Desmond Tushanbe, the military-governor for Bayou province, who has is also an observer on the revolutionary council for that province. For the most part however, the HRC and other revolutionary councils throughout the nation retain popular support, with the actions of these few officials indeed being seen as “rogue” and presently unjustifiable. As it stands, the five offenders have been transferred to a federal prison in Mos Attraya where they will await questioning, whereupon they will thereafter be presented before the CNRR for a formal hearing. In the absence of a dedicated judiciary system, President Juma has temporarily authorized the CNRR to assemble a jury and elect a commission of three judges to serve as a judicial panel for the purpose of the hearing and to decide upon the fates of the five men.

“I'm standing here before you aboard an erstwhile Engellexic warship, a cruiser that went by the name of “Centaur” before it sunk. It had been part of the fleet which was stationed here in Mos Attraya–known them as King's Haven–as part of the imperial garrison charged with maintaining the colonial system, order, and stability on behalf of that ruling regime.

It now no longer does nor represents any of these things. We have reclaimed this vessel from the sea and have rechristened it for our own purposes – purposes peaceful in their nature and intention. I would like to thus thank the Federal Memorial Commission and specifically my friend, Mr. Anton Ybane, for their herculean efforts in retrieving the ship and in restoring it to its present condition. Indeed, the Centaur is now a memorial and a museum.

We commemorate with it two things: the arduous revolutionary war we fought to achieve our liberation, and the centuries long struggle of endurance against the colonial system. We commemorate, and so we remember, lest we forget the trials that we as a people suffered through to achieve our present status.

Yet we also maintain now and forever more that we, as a people, do not maintain grudges. We will forever hate and be opposed to the exploitative and oppressive nature and systems of colonialism and imperialism, but we feel no ire or hatred towards the whites or even to our former colonizers. These systems were the product of hundreds of years of development, and to hold the sons accountable for the sins of their fathers is a ridiculous and ultimately foolish idea. That we chose to cast off the shackles should come as no surprise. So long as there is no effort made to clamp them back around our wrists, Attreyu will be an amenable partner politically and economically on the international stage to all.

Now, there are nearly two dozen priests of various confessions here, standing amidst hundreds of solemn black caskets. Four hundred Engellexic servicemen, all dead, lie here on the deck of their warship. Sixteen thousand more of them await news of their fates in POW camps scattered throughout the breadth of our republic. I cannot say how many soldiers died during the course of the revolution, but we will make all efforts to ensure a similar treatment for them as for the lot that we have here today.

All those who perished here, in service to their country – for certainly not in service to the colonial system – will be returned to their country; as a courtesy, as a gesture. We will release now all prisoners of war that we've held since the end of the Liberation War, all of whom will be returned to their countries without any expense incurred upon them. Engellexic, Montelimaran, and Frescanian dead and captured will be promptly returned to their homelands; they having been accorded all honors here by local clergy and military ceremony.

I am hopeful that further such losses in lives can be avoided by all parties, that wars of this sort can be avoided in the future. It should be clear to all that liberty is an object held dear by those wanting for it, and that a great price they'd indeed pay for it.”

Ex-Militiamen Offered Land in Collective Farming Deal ​ Mos Attraya, Attray-hmat – President Juma and Minister of Trade and Industry Christophre Duke writ into law the formation of the Federal Veteran's Committee (FVC), to be subordinate to Mr. Duke's ministry. The Federal Veterans Committee will directly attempt to address the issue of integration and employment for thousands of revolutionary fighters across the country who are now legally permitted to quit their posts and return to the civilian world – a world which has changed considerably since they first took up arms in the pursuit of liberty. It aims to rehabilitate such figures and to provide them with “fair recompense” for their valued services to the state; in the form of guaranteed employment and/or a federal pension of some sort to ease them into employment. With rumors having been circulating for a while now that the system of revolutionary councils and military-governors was on the way out, this most recent act by the President would seem to confirm it as a fact in most minds. Whilst local militias, many indeed formations left over from the revolutionary days, are still legally permitted to exist, President Juma has very firmly stated that the consolidation of “armed forces within our country under a single authority” is of “paramount importance”. Although the majority of militia groups have been granted the option to enlist formally with the Attreyan Revolutionary Army, most of the individuals presented with the offer have so far chosen to instead revert back to civilian life. Many of these individuals were either indentured servants or directly slaves on any number of estates, and so the transition is a difficult one now that the colonial plantation system no longer exists. Several proposals have already been drawn up to potentially insure employment for retiring militiamen or soldiers, most of them directly by Minister Duke. Redistribution of land seized by the state from colonial landholding entities has been proclaimed as “presently prohibited” by President Juma, but the creation of collective farms and plantations under the shared ownership of groups or councils of farmers has been tacitly approved. With federal support and subsidies, one of the ideas put forward is to allow for the creation of several such groups of militiamen and professional farmers and to distribute certain former estates and plantations to these individual collectives. This proposal falls perfectly in line with standing federal doctrine concerning land distribution: with it being believed that the parceling of territory wholesale to individuals will result in widespread production shortfalls, but its oversight by the federal government temporarily under the auspices of collective ownership will allow for required quotas to be more effectively met. According to officials within the CNRR, this is the proposal most likely to be implemented. Other ideas, such as the conversion of militias into permanent standing law enforcement entities, or the idea to guarantee jobs for former militiamen in major urban centers, have been shot down for various reasons. “This would solve two problems for us,” claimed Thomas Nge-Ybarra, a member of the CNRR's economic board. “The issue of labor shortages in the agricultural sector, and the issue of popular disarmament.” The majority of the lands that have been set aside for cultivation by ex-militiamen are located within the Zoav Floodplains and in the Bayou province, with the military-governors and the revolutionray councils for both localities having already approved the federal proposal. It is expected that the FVC will become operational within the week, with military support, and begin the process of administering to the needs of those who have sacrificed so much for our state.

It is expected that almost twelve thousand jobs will be created by the compound, of which the state owns 51% alongside the 49% of the Aodh-Mór minority share. Work on the Steelworks actually began prior to the beginning of the revolution, originally under the auspices of the Engellexic-Pellewburg Cross Productions corporation, until the worksite was abandoned just prior to the capture of Port République by revolutionary forces. Since the end of the Liberation War, the work has been continued with Ivernian assistance, and the Steelworks are set to become fully operational for the first time tomorrow morning. It is the first steel mill of its type to exist in Attreyu, and it is expected that its creation will provide a much needed boost to the construction industry and several other notable fields. With mines in Bayou having become steadily more profitable and productive over the last few years, it is currently believed by economists and market analysts that the local production of steel will allow for a great boom in transportation and construction, as its import from abroad will no longer be required – assuming that both the steelworks and mines can meet demand.

President Orders Militia, Revolutionary Councils to Disband ​ Mos Attraya, Attray-hmat – President Juma, reportedly working in conjunction with the CNRR and Minister of War Adama Alexandre-Nge, has issued an executive decree–coming immediately into effect–ordering the total dissolution and disarmament of the provincial and local revolutionary councils and their associated militia forces. With the signatures of both President Juma and Minister Alexandre-Nge on the decree, both have firmly declared that the terms are “non-negotiable” and that the replacement of these revolutionary entities by new civil institutions is both very much necessary and finally beginning. Thousands of men have remained under arms since the fall of the colonial regime, and have remained on the payroll of either their local revolutionary councils or assorted military-governors. Now, Alexandre-Nge intends to consolidate the network of military control, and to eliminate any armed factions within the country which are not directly answerable to the state. “We have great respect for the contributions of the militia during the revolution,” the Minister went on to say. “However, with the Liberation War now complete, it is necessary to consolidate and centralize.” Plans have been put forward by the CNRR and the Ministry of War just last week to allow for militiamen to make the transition into civilian life much more easily, with the Federal Veteran's Committee having been established to indeed provide such assistance. Another option has been newly offered by the Minister to the effect that militiamen who choose to directly enlist into the armed forces may be subject to accelerated promotion, dependent upon their present positions and qualifications. Indeed, several other incentives have been offered so as to convert as many of the country's remaining armed civilians into legitimate soldiers – including a promise of free education following the completion of their service. Already, the majority of the provinces and their various militia forces have complied with the President's directive, standing down and formally disbanding their organizations. Several units with the federal armed forces have been dispatched to most of the provincial capitals to account for any remaining or non-compliant groups, and to effect the disarmament of the militia. As it stands, Minister Alexandre-Nge has stated that he believes that this process will “continue smoothly” and that he is of the opinion that “the President's wishes in this regard will be respected, wise as they are.” However, not all are terribly pleased by this latest decree, some having already accused this move as reeking of “dictatorial portents.” “The local councils,” claimed a local leader who wished to remain anonymous, “alongside the militia” were the “great buffer against tyranny.” He went on to say that the disbandment of them would have “severely damaging implications for the country.” The President has firmly stated that the councils will be replaced in the coming days by functional local legislatures, which will allow the opportunity for former revolutionary leaders to reclaim their former positions and rights through election. “It's time to move forward,” he reportedly said, “and to do that, we must finally begin the process of extending both freedom and power to the people.” Simultaneously, there have also been stirrings here in Mos Attraya about plans to finally establish a federal legislature. Allegedly, several ideas have been stirring within the CNRR and the President's office concerning that issue in particular, with the CNRR having been deep in debate for several days now. “Civilian authority and law,” said Minister Alexandre-Nge, happily, “will soon replace the often times arbitrary and flailing authority of the revolutionary councils.” More information will be posted as it becomes available, but many across the country are sincerely hopeful that the planned implementation of these legislative systems will indeed arrive soon. The interim government of most provinces will consist of just the military-governor and, allegedly, an appointed federal official. How long this state of affairs will last is unknown, but President Juma has put out assurances that he hopes to finish this series of reforms “by the end of the year.”	You must be registered for see images ​ A group of militiamen that have been newly inducted into the Attreyan Revolutionary Army​ Trans-Implarian Railroad Nearly Done! ​ Kiyasa, ImpuzuKa – Only seventy kilometers now remain until the Trans-Implarian Railroad, linking the small network already established in the east of the country with the port of Kiyasa and the Implarian Ocean. Work on the railroad has been ongoing since the beginning of the last year, with steady progress having been made as the track was laid through the arid plains southwest of Dushanbe and Otta. However, a great delay was incurred at the beginning of this year when the railroad finally reached the Impuzu mountain range, spanning a distance of about four-hundred kilometers southeast of Lositimo and running north past Otta. It was here that construction work had stopped until recently, with all attempts to either bridge or tunnel through the range having been prevented by inadequate equipment, training, or experience. With the assistance of engineers from Touzen's Army however, work was renewed during February, with a series of tunnels having been built from the Implarian side eastward with their assistance and expertise. In addition to aiding the federally chartered Trans-Implarian Railroad Company in creating a viable rail-link to the east, they've also been involved in training several of the local engineering contingents with the federal armed forces in modern demolition and construction techniques. Now, the final tunnel has been excavated and a rail line laid down passing directly through, at long last, the Impuzu range. Only 70 kilometers of relatively flat ground remain which require rail to be laid down before the Trans-Implarian is finished, with the Trans-Implarian Railroad Company quickly mobilizing to finish the job in the coming week. “This project would have been impossible for us to complete, at least at anything approaching a reasonable schedule, without the assistance of our friends in Touzen,” claimed Company President Ulute mzuKame. Indeed, the contributions of the Touzen engineers has been recognized by the Minister of War, Alexandre-Nge, who was quick to award the commander of the engineering contingent, a Colonel Tsukino Nobu, with the Federal Medal of Merit, in recognition of their great aid. Both he and his men have been invited to Mos Attraya to attend the July 9th Memorial Parade and to visit the Martyr's Memorial Museum following the completion of their duties in the west. The President and the CNRR have both expressed great pleasure at the prospect of the railroad's completion, with it promising to connect directly for the first time the eastern and western provinces, as well as creating a direct trade connection with many Implarian countries.

STATUS: Installation used for civilian use. Official state validation not required.

The Aodh-Mór Corporation would like to thank the All-Attreyan Federal Republic for welcoming this business into their locale. We hope that this opening of the Sirhowy Steelworks in Port République will be a constrution of mutual benefit and the beginning of further economic relations between our two home nations and indeed the first step of investment of the Aodh-Mór Corporation within the Federal Republic.

We are positive that this steelworks shall produce steel of an excellent quality and also of competitive pricing and the Aodh-Mór Corporation itself would be keen for both purchase orders and also expansions in the steelworks.

In time the Aodh-Mór Corporation would be keenly interested in helping to kick-start the refinement of bauxite deposits within the Attreyan Republic into Aluminium refinery as an updrade add-on to the Sirhowy Steelworks. We believe from estimates from the Royal Geogrphic Society of Ivernia that bauxite is to be found in very large quantities in the Attreyan Republic.

We wish you great fortune with your present achievement, and also for our possible shared future.

Signed,

Thomas MacReeve

Foreign Communique (CONFIDENTIAL)
Transmitted by remit of the (MinEx)
To (Thomas MacReeve) of Aodh-Mór​

The All-Attreyan Federal Republic is sincerely grateful for the kind words and congratulations offered forth by the Aodh-Mór Corporation, and we are indeed hopeful that the inauguration of the Sirhowy Steelworks will only be one of the first steps taken towards developing a more modern industrial infrastructure in our Republic. This investment has already begun to pay dividends, with the construction of buildings, railroads, and new locomotives having become significantly cheaper now that the requirement to import steel is gone. Doubtless Aodh-Mór is already aware of that, based on the incoming figures.

We are vaguely aware of the presence of bauxite further west in the country, and have been since the unification of ImpuzuKa (the province with the largest reported deposits) into our republic. However, given the relatively remote nature of most of those deposits and their distance from the Trans-Implarian Railroad, it may not be viable to exploit them in any significant fashion at present. To do so would require the construction of a road to reach them, and then a mining infrastructure as well as a refining one. Of course, if Aodh-Mór is interested, the CNRR and my office can get in touch with several local corporations who may be willing to share the expense. To my knowledge, the only other bauxite refineries on the continent are located in Sylvania, far off and to the north.

Federal Marshalls, Magistrates Appointed! ​ Mos Attraya, Attray-hmat – After several days of deliberation between the President's office and the CNRR, it has finally been proclaimed that the current system of military-governors will now also be made defunct in much the same manner as the revolutionary councils and the militia. It heralds a final switch over to civilian rule, according to both groups, with the revocation of control by the military of certain civil sectors now having been formally abolished and declared illegal. It falls in line with “standing doctrine,” said President Juma on the issue, having allowed reporters to enter the closed meeting close to its conclusion, “the army was once just as much an ephemeral and revolutionary entity as the militia,” adding that “though we have granted it legitimacy and permanency, it must forever remain subordinate to the people and state.” Minister of War Adama Alexandre-Nge has pledged his full cooperation and concurrence with the President's orders and opinion. All the local military-governors that had been serving, most of them since the start of the Liberation War, have been ordered to stand down and relinquish their posts. The majority will be eased back into active service in other capacities, whilst some have chosen the option of early retirement that's been offered to them. “It's indicative of our dedication to Attreyu and our republic,” said Alexandre-Nge, “that we who may operate readily against it are its staunchest defenders.” Of course, the removal of the military-governors also removes the final actual government-recognized authority figures in every province – what with neither militia leaders or the revolutionary councils having any legitimacy or legality. As such, two new offices have been created by remit of the CNRR and the President's office, both of which will for the time being be directly appointed by both groups until individual legislatures can be established in each of the provinces and adequate voting procedures set down. A Federal Magistrate and a Federal Marshall will be assigned to each of the provinces, both ultimately being responsible to the President and to the CNRR (until its disbandment at the end of the year, at which point they will be accountable only to the President). It has been stated that Federal Magistrates will have the responsibility of managing the civil workings of the local governments, to ensure that taxes are collected, that infrastructure is functioning, and that the governments there are operating effectively. At present, they have also been charged with beginning the process of creating the foundations for a functioning electoral process in their assigned provinces, and with beginning the task of establishing local bureaucracies and coordinating them with the municipal governments. Federal Marshalls will allegedly serve a similar role, though with their focus to be on law enforcement and the ensurance of provincial and municipal compliance with federal laws and directives. They are to be ultimately responsible for overseeing and creating law enforcement groups and agencies within their provinces, with all such organizations (paramilitary and otherwise) to be accountable to him within their provinces. Furthermore, in lieu of an organized and standardized federal court system (though one has been stated to be in the works), Federal Marshalls are charged with establishing provincial ones which will operate with full federal approval and support so long as they remain in compliance themselves with a set of regulations soon to be issued by the CNRR. The next step, said President Juma, “is the legislatures themselves. First come the local ones, and then will be the national one–all shall be represented in the first session!”	ImpuzuKa Bauxite Deal Hammered Out! ​ Kiyasa, ImpuzuKa – A deal has been reached after several days of negotiation with Aodh-Mór and several local corporations to the effect of collaboration on the exploitation of several extensive known bauxite deposits in the ImpuzuKa, and the general west of the country. With local infrastructure and terrain conditions having previously been far too restrictive so as to allow the use of those vast resources, the opening of the Trans-Implarian Railroad at the end of this month will soon allow for the rapid transit of peoples and materials to and fro our republic's two coastlines. With significant investments in infrastructure and local development still required in the area to allow for the efficient utilization of these natural resources, the CNRR has decidedly allowed Aodh-Mór, which has already proven itself to be a reliable partner, to yet again participate in a shared venture within our republic. Rather than having an intervening share in the operations itself however, the CNRR has decided to instead contract with several local corporations to share in the cost of the project, providing some subsidies and direct federal support to speed along and aid with its progress. Kentata Inc., Mugabe & Sons, and the Implarian Access Bank will be the partners of Aodh-Mór in this venture, covering up to 65% of the total costs of the project in exchange for the technical expertise and contracting power of the foreign corporation. It is presently believed that the largest and presently most easily exploitable deposits are located approximately a hundred to two hundred kilometers north of the town Lositimo, right on the path of the Trans-Implarian Railroad. Already, a plan has been laid out for the potential expansion of the railroad northwards so as to bring workers and miners to believed deposits in that area – all this work pending a visit by surveying teams. With the Sylvanians holding something approximating a monopoly on bauxite production, it is believed that the creation of refineries and the production of aluminum will be enormously profitable for the country. Thousands of new jobs will be created, and the possibility for many new subsidiary industries to arise will come into being. The CNRR has pledged its full support for the project, and has begun consultation with the soon-to-be Minister of Finance in anticipation of providing the necessary funds. OTHER NEWS: ​ Minister of War Adama Alexandre-Nge will be temporarily acting as President for the following week while President Kusayi Juma undergoes surgery in Charleroi, Sylvania. A tumor which had begun to form beside the President's right lung will be removed during the procedure, it being believed that while the growth isn't immediately harmful, it may start to very drastically and negatively affect the President's health. The first Ivernian contractors arrive and hundreds of new job positions become available all across the country as the construction of both the airship ports and airstrips begins in earnest. It is expected that the Mos Attraya airport and airship tower will be the first completed.

STATUS: Installation used for civilian bauxite refinery use. Official state validation not required.

The Aodh-Mór Corporation would like to thank the All-Attreyan Federal Republic for the opportunity and the privilege to invest in Attreyan Businesses and Corporations to assist in the development of the refinery of bauxite industry in Attreyu - for which we at the Aodh-Mór Corporation will believe will become a powerful part of Attreyu's manufacturing backbone for it's economy.

Not to mention the obvious advantages to the Aodh-Mór Corporation as the introduction of more than one large source of Bauxite promotes competition and progress and more efficient production and refinery overall.

The Aodh-Mór Corporation has decided to create a special liason office in the Aodh-Mór Corporation office in the Ivernish Himyari Commonwealth to allow our fellow Attreyan investors in this business a place to communicate and meet with representatives of our Corporation.


Once more we wish you great fortune with your present achievement, and also for our shared future of business.

Signed,

Thomas MacReeve
Chief Director of Urban Development Department
Aodh-Mór Corporation.
