GOLARSEN, CENTRAL CENTRALIA-- Today the National Assembly of Central Centralia met to discuss important matters regarding several issues, first the growing concern of traffic congestion in Golarsen's streets as well as in other major cities across the nation. The recently established Central Centralian National Highway Management is working with the Ministry of Transportation to curb this issue by a major plan to widen the highways, especially a much needed upgrade to NH-7 and NH-1 which go right through the heart of Golarsen and form the busiest intersection and most traveled parts of road daily in the country. The plan is expected to be implemented sometime next week, and completion time has not yet been established.
The next issue that has only been looked at recently is the establishing of embassies with other countries across Europe. Although the country is ready to receive nations and trade ambassadors, there is a lack of buildings in the nation that would hold embassies and thus new buildings may have to be constructed at the partial expense of both nations, which may discourage nations from building embassies in our nation. This issue is being discussed at public meetings throughout the country and public hearings on this issue can be accessed by all people by visiting their city halls.
Next on the agenda in the National Assembly was discussing the protests against the central government in the far northeastern region of Central Centralia, including one of the major port cities in the country, Irodul City, where mass rallies demanded for autonomy in the region as there are stark differences in this region in language and religion from the rest of the country. There has even been talk of holding a referendum for independence but so far this has received no response from the central government. Some radical protesters even took to the streets with glass bottles and hurdling them at municipal police members working to contain the protests, but other than this protests have been generally peaceful.
Today is a sad day for Central Centralia as we mourn the loss of President Calovva Telnizki's father, Alovin Telnizki, former member of the National Assembly as well as mayor of Golarsen from 1923-1927. His official funeral will be held this Sunday at the Seludian Memorial Gardens in North Golarsen. This is going to be a public funeral open to the general public as well as local officials and other visiting officials from other nations. The cause of Mr. Telnizki's death is believed to be lung cancer; this has not yet been confirmed by the Telnizki family. May he rest in peace.
This weekend is expected to bring heavy snow across the northern Central Centralian region, including Rellispen City which will be host to one of the EFL's matches. The match will go on; however the stadium does not have a retractable roof and heavy snow may impact the playing field.
Meanwhile, in the Southeastern regions, tormenting rains have brought flooding to the region, including Garmetalo Beach and Delinusa Beach, where there were reports of around 2 inches of rain. Luckily no deaths or injuries were reported; however a car had to be evactuated due to flash flooding gaining control of the car and carrying it in its own direction. The Ministry of Public Works along with the National Assembly are working to help increase the efficiency of gutters and a higher sea wall in this region.
Today was a quite shocking and disappointing day for Central Centralia's Football Team as they lost today 3-1 to Aurarine Republic, a team that seems to be generally improving as the EFL progresses. This puts Central Centralia back down to second place in their group.
