"Reports of the crash of a spy- aircraft of the Danish Royal Airforce foraying over the northern isles of Sylvania have been released by the Ministry of Defence around four days after the incident. It is understood that Aircraftsmen Holst, aged 19, and Krarup, aged 22, both heralding from Danish Pommerania near to Kattegat Sea, perished in the crash due to a reported mechanical failure. So far, the Sylvanian Defence Ministry has not commented on the incident but it is expected that a statement will be issued by them shortly.

This is the first kind of incident to be announced by Forvarsministeriet, which has traditionally remained tight-lipped, but the reports have been seen as an indication of government interest in the Occidentian nation and military interests otherwise shielded.

Opposition parliamentarians have called for a State Commission to examine the operations of the Defence Ministry but the government has so far resisted citing what they stated was 'necessary obfuscation for national defence'.

"Atrocious weather conditions have led to hardship for rural areas as electricity has been cut-off with engineers working around the clock to restore power in what has been described as unusual weather conditions leading to snow-drifts and collapse of power-lines in many areas.

Normally the climate has shed its winter guise by this time but 1953 is proving to be a hard and gritty year so far with even the capital enveloped under inches of snow. Farmers have reported severe difficulties as lambs and calves are understood to have died in remote hill-farms and there is a reported but not verified death of around twenty-two elderly people due to the harsh conditions.

Spring is late coming this year and the general hope is that conditions will improve in time for the official round of engagements and for the benefits of crop planting. The Archipelago of Færøerne enjoys comparative clemency due to warm winds from the Occident and Implaria is generally unscathed by such deleterious blasts in 1953, for Færøerne an unusual state of affairs.

"King Alvar VI of Saaremaa is due to visit Christiansborg following a State Visit to Ivernia. In a likely jamboree of visits to a plethora of nations by the Saaremaaren monarch, the Palace has announced that full honours shall be accorded and a complete detachment of the Kongelige Livgarden, the Royal Life Guards, will escort both he and the king in the Implarian Carriage of State through Christiansborg to meet with the Danish royal family including his first face to face meeting with Her Majesty the Queen Consort, Clara of Arendaal, Her Majesty Queen Dowager Birgitte, Princes Lauritz, Constantine, Christian and Jorgen at a state banquet at the Jyllands Slot, the Jutish Palace. Ahead of the visit, King Alvar was bestowed with the Order of the Elephant by order of the King.

Cousins second-removed by virtue of the father of the Saaremaaren king being the brother of the deceased father of King Frederik, it is expected that the first meeting of the two monarchs may pave the way for closer cooperation on other issues between the fellow Scanian kingdoms, but that is expected to be left at a government level.

"Foreign Minister Westerveld has engaged in talks with Rijeka for the first time for several months and has spoken with Commissar Sitar on the telephone. The Foreign Ministry described the talks as 'fruitful' and it is understood both the foreign minister and Commissar Sitar shall meet shortly either in Trier or on a warship in the Long Sea, likely to be the carrier Kong Benedikt V to strike what have been described as 'understandings'.

However, the burgeoning war in Yujin is expected to be a sticking point with Danmark and Carentania on opposing sides, though the foreign ministry has indicated that it will generally retain to the colony of Ningwei with invasions of the regions close to the colony as a last resort.

"And last, the jockey Haagen Kjærulff has won the Himyar Jumpers Derby with Sølvdart with fellow national Flemming Hjortshøj coming third in a seven-nation competition with eighteen horses and jockeys in the final count. Not a native sport to Danmark, but an imported sport from abroad, the victory has given an immense pride in the nation and for the horse racing fraternity. One stable-owner was ecstatic claiming that the Danish horse racing world has been given a much-needed injection and that after years of cultivation, effort and care, the results have paid off.

"To have two horses at the top speaks volumes", one cheered.

Hr Kjærulff, a resident of the village of Ranskill in the canton of Aabenraa, was typically humble. He reportedly kissed the turf and cried whilst paying tribute to his fellow competitors. The twenty-year-old must surely go down in the annals of Danish sporting truimph. Landing back in Christiansborg, he was cheered to the rafters and carried on a chair through rapturous crowds but remained humble to the last, blushing at the attention he was being given".

"Christiansborg and Charleroi have engaged in intense diplomatic cross-fire following the crash of an aircraft into the northern isles of the Sylvanian republic upon what was understood to be have a reconnaisance mission. The Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of War have all released similar statements but with the Foreign Ministry taking the lead role. The incumbent minister of foreign affairs, Henrik Westerveld, released a formal public statement refuting the allegations of his Sylvanian counterpart, Fru Autumn Viklund, but his statement that he has received a letter directed from the Danish ambassador in Dulwich was responded with a committal to make a 'formal, dignified and appropriate reply' in response.

However the foreign minister indicated that evidence had come to light characterised by him as "reproachableness". So far, the foreign ministry has refused to divulge exactly what this is but it is expected to be released in the forthcoming days but insiders have reported it has 'serious implications'.

​

* * * * * *​

​

"The Ministries of Defence and War have announced that what is termed 'Phase IV' of the military overhaul have neared completion. Unlike the previous three 'phases', Phase IV is designed to enhance the defence, strike and monitoring capabilities across all of the armed forces. Though the Ministries of Defence and War stated clearly that this would not be used in a manner to attack, only if other nations 'tipped the balance'.

Both ministries restated their commitment to the old-age commitment to the 'sleeping policeman' and being a 'benign power' but that the four phases complete a radical restructuring of the four wings of the armed forces - navy, airforce, army and marines, which in an idiosyncrasy are classed as a separate wing.

Some have spoken of their use against Sylvania but this is deemed not likely in the current term with the preference for 'cultured engagement' and mutual concessions. But analysts have stated that if the nod came, the Danish military possess the capability and 'ire' to strike at will 'upon command'.

In separate developments, an extra 64,000 army personnel have been ordered to be stationed in the archipelago of Faroerne along with 90,000 extra personnel in what is cautiously described as 'elsewhere'. Where the personnel and paraphenalia are to be headed has been kept a secret at this stage.

"Professor Emeritus Erik J. Ryby of the Institute of Scientific Erudition, Fredrikshavn, has questioned the statements of Dr Leon Sisak, a noted scientificist and student of 'sexual deviancy' often called in uncouth and common, but not educated, Danish discourse as a 'cancer of the mind'".

"Professor Emeritus Ryby cast doubts upon the findings of the doctor of Sisak Univeristy in Rijeka, as "enwrapped in ideological blindness" and the "straitjacket of those that put fear of the state or a reduced mind-world before sincere truth as it is seen upon concepts of research and the logical and flowing results that follow from that".

Dr Sisak made claims that Danmark and the neighbouring Eiffelland saw the individual as a unit and detached from the drives of society. Professor Emeritus Ryby questioned this as analysis as symptomatic of "ideology before total truth".

"As much as Dr Sisak may disagree, his research does not follow the bounds of either my own studies, over twenty-four years, nor that of any other that I have seen over my career from foreign nations. I see a total link between the individual and wider soceity. No man is an island. So I'm not sure where derives his conclusions on that. It seems rather bizarre".

"The eradication of capitalism does not solve the issue either. Studies have shown that even in those nations that pay lip service to equality that there is a time-lag in terms of society catching up. The socialist elite may make claims that 'we believe all are equal' in terms of sexual preference but the people they govern, the officials employed by the governments that espouse this, and the reality of a gap between official state diktat and on-the-ground reality there are often large chasms".

​

​

"On the finishing note, the King visited the Principality of Vestsachsen today on a three-day visit. He was hosted by dignitaries headed by Prince Imperial Berthold X at a Banquet of State between the two reigning sovereigns in Einsiedeln. The State Visit is expected to take in a cheese factory in the south of Vestsachsen, a visit to Dansk-Vestsachsener and a flurry of other engagements including the joint Dano-Vestsachsen dam, snow-marooned villages and a culinary festival.

THE Grand Covenant cannot and will not be manipulated by lowly Danmark when we have already tamed the Dulwich Bull and the Vistrasian Lion. We therefore confidently promise that we will match Danmark's Phase IV Plan pound for pound. Every last pound of aggressive Danish deployment to the Implarian will be effortlessly matched defensively, in both Flesh & Iron, by the Grand Force of the Covenant.

Announcement Peculiar​

A special DIR news broadcast with Folmar Ármannsson.


"Broadcast across the Danish kingdom-empire via radio over three continents, for Great Danmark and Little Danmark, Færøerne and Implaria, the Viceroyalty of Ningwei, and for international consumption, in transcript, from the heart and home ~ This is Christiansborg!

* * * * * *​

"The royal fanfare proclamation has sounded from the balconies of the Jutish Palace as it has been announced from Christiansborg that the five-party coalition government has collapsed due to the resignation of the Green Party due to what they described as 'irreconcilable divergences' as foreign policy has taken a new lease of life and as international tensions heat.

The Greens formally handed in a letter of resignation to the Statsminister at seven minutes past eleven o'clock thereby bringing to an end the coalition that has governed the nation for the past seven years.

With no ability of the government to effect policy due to a parliamentary minority, pending the outcome of the national elections due two weeks on Sunday, the reigns-supreme pass to the king under the Settlement of 1863, beyond the ordinary and into the everyday.

His Majesty is now the arbiter of government policy, in some respects merely a signatory to some legislation but also with immense clout on the domestic and international sphere in what have been described as 'unprecedented times'.

'The monarch is above politics but is now called to engage in the political sphere due to a quirk of the Danish constitution. This, potentially, gives the monarch a power not exercised since before 1863 and 'all eyes are cast upwards and we shall all marvel at this test of guile and statesmanship, with the king delivering monarchical aplomb', said one.

It is expected that all announcements by the current government will be frozen pending the outcome of the elections, with essential national and international government maintained at a quintessential level of administration. Military deployments, aside from those already already announced, are in a state of hiatus. Only a full session of parliament can guarantee any significant changes to policies at this stage until the elections.

It is not known what the monarch's intentions are at this juncture, but it is likely a role of care-taking will be maintained, though it can only be unveiled with time in what is a limited window for what is termed 'pure monarchical autocracy, det gamle ordningen', the old way.

However, it known that the King of Ivernia, His Ivernian Majesty Supreme King Felix of Neill, has been keen to address His Majesty-Emperor, majestæt til majestæt med ærbødighed, in person over deepening international crises.

Some analysts and obsevers believe this interim could present an ideal opportunity to the rightist-minded to devolve powers back to the monarchy and thus overturning the Settlement. This is to early to tell but the next two weeks should be and undoubtedly be written into the annals of national and international politics and diplomacy as a unique event in ninety years."

The Gracious entreaty of Your High Majesty was safely deposited for the purveyance of His Majesty this morning following the collection from the High Sovereign Mission of Ivernia to Danmark.

His Majesty informs me that he warmly countenances a colloquium with the High King Felix of Neill in order to explore regions of mutual understanding and beneficial approach.

As Private Secretary and Head of the Court, Hofmester, I can communicate to you that the King shall voyage to Alderburgh for the face-to-face meeting in forthcoming days at this, a most unorthodox period of developments within the domestic political and constitutional arena.​

Tirsdag 9e April, 1953​

Confusion for Westerveld camp as 'Five Ton Freda' succeeds as Hjemland leaderSturdy working-class 'housewives favourite' succeeds outgoing Schneider-Krogsgaard Stentoft: "The party shall maintain a dominance in the landscape"Westerveld likely to be asked to clarify international stances before guarantees of Hjemland support​ Henrik Kierkegaard Christiansborg Hjemland gain their second ever leader as current Statsminister and leader of the party announced that he would step aside and not contend the national elections, with the comparative smooth and almost unanimous succession of Freda Stentoft, herself emerging into the limelight immediately declaring her credentials as 'a leader of the now, the past, and the future', staking the party's claim to continued domination of the political landscape. Fru Stentoft, with a reputation already firmly in place as a political bruiser and backroom 'banger of heads', was warmly applauded by the party congress held in Christiansborg as the tally of votes for the three candidates to the leadership were unveiled. Garnering an impressive sixty-two percent, incumbent Statsminister, but now former Hjemland leader was amongst the first to stand and applaud her. Accepting the position, Stentoft gave her famed symbol of defiance and, on this occasion, victory, as she raised and shook her right fist up into the air, a symbolism of 'do not cross'. Before the assembled delegates and members, 'Five Ton Freda', a sobriquet that she was keen to milk, in reference to her large physical stature, she paid tributes to the other candidates and to Hr. Schnieder-Krogsgaard whom she called "the titan of Danish nationalism, a man whom ensured that disparate parties sharing common ideals came together into one and which has ensured that the 'old parties' have become mere moaning pygmies as they complain at their own brought-on loss due to their sense of entitlement, complacency and arrogance". With the national elections due to reach conclusion within days and with current foreign minister Westerveld, but member of one of the 'old parties', the Liberals, riding high in the polls, she made a subtle indication that she would be expecting to meet with him in forthcoming days to seek what she termed "solid gold assurances" that recent hints that he may seek a more multilateral air to his possible government should not compromise the international policies of the kingdom-empire. Whilst saying that there was "hardly a cigarette paper of difference on most aspects", she nonetheless gave voice to disquiet to arch-nationalist sentiment and concerns over Westerveld whilst staking a political claim in national politics and to solidify her newly-won mandate. "The nation will remain strong if I have anything to do with it and I shall muster all my strength to ensure that it does. I shall not swerve, I shall not buckle, I shall not countenance lily-livery". Hr. Westerveld congratulated Fru. Stentoft on an "impressive and hallowed victory" and spoke of her as an "unshirkable patriot with roots that tap deep into the working class... surely to make a mark on the rough and tumble of our political discourse". However, he made no announcement regarding Fru. Stentoft's request for a meeting but it is widely expected that it will take place in around two days. Renowned for her simplicity and hard-graft, alongside her ordinariness, Fru. Stentoft will need to work hard to ensure her position at both domestic and international level with critics stating that the soon-to-be former Statsminister and Hjemland leader was overshadowed by the strident and calculating survivor, Westerveld. Parliamentarian suspended from Folkhuset for 'Sylvanian slut' attack​ Matthias Skytte Den Folkhus, Christiansborg The Hjemland backbench member for the riding (constituency) of Kastrup North-West, Hr. Asmus Thestrup, was suspended for one month after refusing to retract what was slammed as 'unparliamentary tongue' after calling the Sylvanian foreign minister, Fru. Autumn Viklund as "that slut (whore) of Sylvania" and that she "likely spent most of her time strewn across a table with legs splayed for promotion". As gasps were audible and the ranks of opposition parliamentarians, though including many members of his own party gasped and shouted comments in disbelief, the Presider of the single chamber parliament demanded that Hr. Thestrup retract his statement and apologise. The member refused and after a suspension of the sitting of the daily session of parliament for around ten minutes, the Presider announced that Hr. Thestrup was suspended for one calendar month minus renumerance. Before being escorted from the chamber, the parliamentarian added insult to injuries by going further, raising even more condemnation from an already appalled chamber. "If I hear a slut, and see one, I call it a slut. This woman is a woman on the make take it from me. But then that lot are full of rakes and sluts at the best of times, just that she's one of the best". The government was keen to distance itself from the lone politicians diatribe as not reflecting government position with both the Statsminister and other noted members of the cabinet declaiming the comments.

You must be registered for see images Populist and no-nonsense 'Five Ton Freda' Stentoft is likely to demand assurances from Westerveld in return for her party's support​ His Majesty voyages to Ivernien for the Colloquium of Crowns Mary Dalgaard Christiansborg and Alderburgh With a grand troop escortage, His Majesty the King and Emperor of the Danes, left the Palace of the Jutes in what is expected to be a significant visit to Alderburgh, Ivernia, as the constitution grants the monarch directly exercisable powers in the short space of time before the finalities of the general election. His Majesty is to meet with High King Felix of Neill and His Majesty King Alvar VI of Saaremaa, who is on an independent overlapping visit of state to Ivernia. At request and acquiescence, the King is expected to discuss the simmering diplomatic conflict between Danmark and Sylvania in a tableaux of other issues. The Royal Court has not commented on the meeting aside from declaring it was "prestigious and notable" though it is known that the Palace is in close consultation with the Rigscancelleri of the Statsminister regarding developments. The King will voyage overland via the recently-visited Vestsachsen, western Wieserreich, Franken and to Alderburgh in a fleet of automobiles before the grand reception by the 'Emerald Jewel'. Carentanian meeting ends in 'doors ajar'​ Holger Gundersen-Kock KDS Dronning Dagmar, Langhavet The first meeting of Danes with Carentanians on-board the Kongelige Danske Marine destroyer, Dronning Dagmar, held between Udenrigsminister Westerveld and Commissar Sitar, has been announced as 'conservative but with doors held ajar' for practicalities after lengthy difficulties between the two states. The move from Christiansborg came following similar inclinations over the Zamoskan 'despotate' which both nations oppose, with a concurrence in aims and the belief in the whole-right of Partherriget to regain the violated appendage as a natural part of that nation. Difficulties were apparent, however, over Yujin which whilst Christiansborg does not endorse the policies of Yujin entirely, is more inclined towards it than to the communist insurgency directed from Rijeka and Westhaven, but with obvious horror at the blood-lust of the Imperial government. Christiansborg, still more likely to find a practical relationship, if not an ideological one, with Havenshire than with Carentania, nonetheless sent out signals that some personal meeting should take place if only to explore diplomatic antagonisms but also to deal with realities. "This initiative emanated from Danmark but it was felt to be proper to give Rijeka a chance at explaining their position. On a personal level, there was a degree of friendliness, but obviously there shall remain certain distance but careful collaboration on certain issues", the Foreign Ministry stated. The KDM retains an enhanced patrol and reconnaissance presence in the Long Sea alongside its port-rights in Dara, Partherriget which the meeting is unlikely to change in the near future.​

"It is understood that the meeting between current foreign minister Henrik Westerveld, current election hopeful for the position of Statsminster, and the new leader of the main nationalist Hjemland party, Fru Freda Stentoft, has taken place at Hjemland party headquarters in Christiansborg, as he seeks the party's support in what is likely to be another coalition. The Liberal Party, of which he is a member, have been split over his candidacy between components of the centre-right and centre-left under its umbrella some citing that Westerveld is not the best choice to represent their party due to his rhetoric on the international sphere. But apologists and sympathisers have been quick to recognise that he is acting in the role of arch-tactician, taking on board nationalist supremacy in the domestic party political sphere by speaking their language but seeking to subtly and cleverly outmanoeuvre them, leading the Liberals to prominence once again in difficult times for the party's chances of becoming the dominant party in the upcoming elections. "He straddles two horses which is a difficult task but one that he's done relatively well so far, largely regarded by nationalists and understanding Liberals in the process", said one Liberal Folkhus member.

Neither Westerveld's nor Stentoft's spokespeople have divulged the full content of the fifty minute meeting but it is understood that Hr. Westerveld has given assurances of retaining a commitment to certain foreign policy developments. However, it is known that a possible Westerveld-led coalition will prize off the domestic sphere to whichever party becomes the largest in Den Folkhus with himself taking on an enhanced involvement in foreign policy. Rumours abound that Westerveld may seek to take on the dual portfolios of Statsminister, largely in name but in also in ultimate direction, and Udenrigsminister, due to his expertise which no nationalist has, together as one.

​

* * * * * *​

​

"Still under the onus of state responsibility, withstanding the elections, Hr Westerveld is expected to address the Sylvanian foreign minister, Fru. Viklund, in a formal letter following receipt of one from her over the 'Crisis of Espionage' in which two Danish pilots lost their lives.

The formal response has been held up due to domestic fall-out over the collapse of the current coalition and necessary debate in parliament. Following a special session of Den Folkhus, he has been freed to make a formal statement.

In a related developments, the deployment of two divisions to the archipelago of Faroerne has been encountered with some degree of caution from native Faroerne, progenitors of the Danish diaspora and nation. The social democrat head of the Faeroerne cantonal assembly, Erling Vilhjalmsson, even went as far as to "worry" that the islands may become swamped with Royal Danish Army personnel and that the military infrastructure on the island would be squeezed. The oldest part of the kingdom, not a colony but an intrinsic part of the national story, ethnicity and folklore, is arguably the most socially conservative part of the Danish kingdom, usually lagging years behind the mainland, and generally is the most vociferous in support of grand national policies partly due to their sheer proximity to the continent.

The head of the cantonal assembly went on record in an interview to the main local publication Føroyskt Daglega saying: "Skovland (Sylvania) has done much that greatly concerns us all here, and we will not be split from the greater nation and the policies of the national government, but we call for less belligerence in certain respects. I'm not sure that stationing two divisions of can be met with local arrangements and I do not think the canton can itself afford to portion off financial reserves, so that will need to be paid for by the national government and the Defence Ministry. Whilst rather distant here to the daily hurly-burly in the capital and nation-at-large, we do keep in tune. However as islanders we sometimes take a perspective that perceives the Occident in ways that are perhaps fresh and finely-synchronised to developments that sometimes national politicians can forget. We, nonetheless, take immense pleasure in seeing that the Storjarl Eyjum (High Earl of the Isles, the official local title of the monarch) may lend great weight towards peace in his visit to the Celtic kingdom".​

​

"Finally, the annual Kunsten og Dygtighed Fejring (Fair of Arts and Prowess) is due to take place, this year in the small lake-side city of Kastrup. In difference from previous years it is unlikely to be a purely Danish affair but is expected to be opened up to the international arena with applications to be be invited from various nations. Taking on a different flavour, the international aspect gives the nations of the world an opportunity to showcase talents and expertise in a range of areas from sports, literature, poetry, music, even down to competitive sports like chess. Thoroughly non-ideological, the Fair is likely see some representation of ideology from international entrants but it is generally taken in stride.

The woman overseeing the event, Hilde Andressen, seemed largely unperturbed.

"It's inescapable that it will be there but the overriding emphasis is on talent. I'm sure there is lot's of it out there, here is an opportunity to display it".

"The interregnum pending the outcome of new elections has not halted significant developments at foreign level as a series of initiatives have been brokered by the government in two areas with yesterday's announcements regarding Christiania and Charleroi. The head of the Royal Council of State representing the King in Agderrige, Grand Dame Rasmussen, issued a letter, made public, calling for talks in the unveiling transition of Dano-Agerrige relations. Unprecedented in contrast to events upon the death of Haakon the Fifth and the civil and political conflict that ensued, the Grand Dame seems to have been forced to issue an invitation, according to some analysts, by the King. The relative peace that has ensued has added an extra ingredient into the mix and the foremost desire to support the concept of Scanian brotherhood has regained a supreme focus.

On a similar note, Hr. Westerveld issued a declaration calling for the resumption of direct communication with the Republic of Skovland. For some time now it has been circuited via the Danish Embassy in Dulwich, but it is understood that was not a long-lasting state of affairs and that it proved a hindrance to proper and meaningful dialogue between the two nations. The government announced that Rdr. (Sir) Einar Aage Hjort-Lang shall become the new ambassdor to Charleroi with the title of Sekretær Befuldmægtigede, Secretary Plenipotentiary, the forth level in Danish ambassadorial pecking. ​

"A visit from the Kyivan Narkomplan to observe the operations of Hammersten-Busch Fabrik and the wider economical operations began today in what is understood to be a three-day visit. Lead by Fru. Zhanna Lviv, the delegation toured the several thousand square feet of Hammersten-Busch Fabrik's main centre in Christiansborg specialising in military production, though HBF has a traditional involvement in civil transport with everything from trams, trains and automobiles in its sphere.

Fru. Lviv was accompanied by the Minister of State for Economy, the Dano-Teuton, Hr. Rikard von Wilhelmsburg, on the Christiansborg part of the visitation but will not do so on the next two days. The Narkomplan visit is likely to take in the Rhine town of Aaben-unden-Marken, the capital military-commercial port of the Free Port of Fredrikshavn, and Skanderborg. A formal meeting at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Christiansborg is an iterneried part of the end of the visit.

​

​

Ruminations as to a potential reversion of the 1863 Settlement echo across Christiansborg as the interim in government accords the King powers that his predecessors have not exercised. Subtle hints abound that the King is displeased by the 'road to ruin' that arch-nationalism portences for the nation and that His Majesty seeks to redress the imbalance. No word has thus come forth from the Palace of the Jutes which has remained characteristically reserved but this has not suppressed news of a potential constitutional beheading of the existing Settlement and a New Settlement creating greater powers for the monarchy in an air of 'national guidance'. Detractors consider this as a reversion towards monarchical autocracy but supporters drive home the point that the national future cannot be secured by ultra-nationalism and that it has taken the King to intervene to establish a grander settlement. Watchers of the Palace consider this potential move as a bold one but that all are startled and unsure of what shall come next.

This is because of the relations held between the nations even whilst King Haakon V sat on the throne, and now passed onto the current claimant of the throne. Her Majesty's Government requests and clearly desires to understand your King's position on the Agder claim to Vesterålen. Does the Danish state seek to have this integral territory returned to Agderike? A territory so unjustly stolen via the spoils of war without consultation with the subjects of Agder's Crown. If King Frederik could make such a position well known publicly and internationally, it is the position from Kristiania, that the current issue at hand that may be festering between Kvenland and Østveg could be put to an end or placed into a position of non-confrontation for the immediate future.

BY CHARGE AND WARD OF HIS MAJESTY KING FREDERIK III & I
THE REALMS OF DANMARK, AGDER AND FEY, AND THE TERRITORIES

THE DUAL MONARCHY AND THE CROWN IN AGDERRIGE

Fr. F. R. Haavi
Viktoria Terrase
Christiania
​

22e Maj 1953​

In furtherance to your brief, may I illuminate that the Crown of Danmark succeeded to the Crown of Agderrige and it alone, hence the concept of Dual Crowns. Of course, many of the rights inherited due to the unforeseen and lamentable death of the Sovereign, His Majesty King Haakon V, were indeed passed to the Crown of Danmark, together with more autocratic arrangements of Agder and Fey as opposed to democratic traditions upheld within Danmark, ones not preferred and sought to be altered but blatently rejected by anti-Crown powers in aspects of hubris and malignancy.

As demonstrated from the outset by this, the Royal Council of State, continuing to exercise Powers of the Crown of both Realms, and upholding Official Powers of State, all others are suborned, it is the intention to command peace within Scania, as we indicated from the initial days. We shall certainly not be brought into feuds not of our making, due to convenient nationalism and short-termist power politicking by pretenders to power, and, as such, sought to be buck-passed onto the Crown by powers-on-the-make. Respectful international and domestic arrangements must be brought to bear and, as commanders of the Crowns, we desire dialogue.

This dialogue should encapsulate the Royal Danish Ordnance to assess, in minutiae, the national ethnic break-down into sub-units within the disputed land between Agderrige and the Union of Fenns. Down to locality and territorial division, this ethnic division needs to be documented with crystal clarity, potentially including maps, in order to assess the future of the disputed land and the direction of the future. But it requires the involvement of the Union of Fenns and due discussion between both it and the Dual Monarchial authorities resident in Christiania and Christiansborg.

We also call upon non-involved local powers, especially the High Kingdom, to strike their own analysis.

Pending the results and due collaboration between the Union of Fenns and the Dual Crown enacted-through-will, we cannot and do not intend to be embroiled.

To you all, the peoples of the joint sovereign in the Dual Monarchy of Danmark, Agder and Fey, GOD SAVE THE KING!

[SUP]HØJ SUVERÆN AMBASSADE
[/SUP]DEN KONGELIGEHOF SANKT ANSGAARD TIL ØSELRIGET
​

For the guise of All within Øselriget,

I have been obliged to direct to you the wishes of the foreign office and, commensurately, the government-in-care and the Realm Parliament, Den Folkhus, the initial but cautious comfort that is a result of the declaration of the said 'Septennial Plan'.

The nascent government, though still in it's salad days and untested in the tumult of international and internal contrariness, has sent out positive echos across the globe and has, to some extent, defeated naysayers and those with axes to grind against this entity of the high north.

Whilst it can be said that His Majesty the King and Emperor is a cousin of HM King Alvar VI, it is directly the case that national rectitude must come before all. His Majesty is understood to be of the belief that HM King Alvar, HM the Queen Dowager Eha, and the other members of the royal family of Øselriget shall find comfort in their new home within Ivernien and shall always be welcome in this, the Kingdom of Danmark also.

The unveiling of the programme for government is illuminating and one of positive bilateral, regional, and international discourse and enaction. In it, aspects are thoroughly positive and enlightened, especially with respect to the apparent deep thought given to national econo-social development, infrastructure, and a pledge to the nations in terms of internal investment and connections.

Connections are much to be desperately needed by the new regime and, it is under circumstances and consideration, that the Kingdom of Great and Little Danes is of the mind and concreteness to announce its recognition of the new governmental jurisdiction that resides in Kuressaare.


Upon benign declaration and friendship,

Said government having taken shape in what could be deemed an unconstitutional manner. This event coupled with the promotion of a hostile and certainly fascist regime, having been given a public description as, "positive bilateral, regional, and international discourse" by the Danish representative in Øsel. These events have been marked and noticed by the Austwegian Government. Kristiania sees this as an about-face in representation to Danish policies and the promotion of so-called unconstitutional regimes, as a public insult to the Austwegian case, and clearly and firmly places Danish policy into less a position of formality and lawfulness, but instead a position of the expansion of Danish power. It has been a long period of time in which the Danish King and his Government have placed Østveg in a position in which an argument could hesitantly be accepted by many across the globe. Today, no further. The Danish case is specifically brought to a close. As such, due to this insult and the continued hostilities of the Danish Government, it has twenty-four hours to remove all diplomatic and royal staff from the Kingdom of Østveg. Failure to do so will result in the imprisonment of such persons. The Danish buildings used for their operations will be seized by the Austwegian Army without warning after said time allotment.

Teachtaireacht ón Prionsa-Toghthóir na Íverniann i iúl in ainm Teamhrach Caislean, an Airdrígh agus uile-Íverniann.
23ú Bealtaine 1953
To the attention of: The Imperial Government of Danmark

The High Kingdom of Ivernia condemns this recent act of the Empire of Danmark - that is the recognition of the coup of Saaremaa. This Ivernish Senate is disheartened that - due to Danish pity - you have offered recognition and validation to what is inherently a dictatorship.
As of the time of this writing the nation of Saaremaa has had zero attempt at a democratic vote where the people would decide who or what shall rule over them. The takeover was from military force and should not be condoned by any civilised nation.
Despite the military takeover international press has heard nothing of any sort of lay people opposition to the takeover, so either every single person in Saaremaa supported the military takeover - which seems very unlikely - or the new ''Government'' is actively silencing dissent.
The Ivernish Senate request that you rescind your recognition until such a time that Saaremaa rules though democratic means.


This message was written on behalf of the High King of Ivernia and Tara Castle

​

The people of Saaremaa can finally declare themselves free. What some states supporting our destructive monarchy call a coup d'etat is actually a legitimate people's revolution. In the circumstances that existed in late April and early May, political parties and the so called legitimate civilian government divided the population, making it fight one against the other, brother against brother. As ones might know, there was a student demonstration against the current state of affairs on the 27th of April. The peaceful demonstrators were brutally beaten and one student by the name of Koit Sisask was killed. The so called legitimate government ordered the army to take over the streets to pacify them, thus making each soldier to choose one of the following options : either they would take over the streets, with the chances of killing Saari civilians giving them as a reward half of a month's wager. The other option was the compliance to their oath, defending the the interests of the people of Saaremaa and doing what is right for their brothers. And they made the correct choice. They sided with the people.

This makes the main difference between the Saari Revoltion and what hostile governments describe as a coup d'etat. The army is not here to take over the state. The Stratocracy as an ideology transforms the people into an army bent on defending the state's territory until the last breath. The Black Army is an institution of the Ministry of National Defense with the mission to defend the people, territories and interests of the people of Saaremaa. Thus the army has not right in it's current form to lead the state. The Stratocracy creates a meritocratic society in which you gain the right to vote and elect your leaders and you have shown that you are worthy, by serving in aforementioned institution. In the circumstances of the revolution, the Black Army had not interest in a coup d'etat, but it acted a vanguard for the people. The army destroyed the monarchistic myths of the kings and queens being chosen by god to play their role and by joining the revolution in such an early stage, not only that it helped the people fight those tyrants that used political ideals to manipulate the people, thus transforming them into their personally owned dolls, but it actually escalated the revolts like the ones from 27th of April, the one 1st of May and even the peace march in Kuressaare that was met with bullets by what you call legitimate civilian government, thus transforming those isolated rebellions that were doomed to fail into a revolution that managed to unite the people in the quest of freedom.

As we have stated before, the stratocracy, is a democratic meritocracy and it has no tangent with the Frescanian coups that put in power Juntas which simply devoure the state and when all the resources and capital saved up by the previous regime would diminish and finally depleted, the Junta would finally consume itself and fall. Like we said, the next Sunday is election day for the formation of the National Assembly and the next day of the new government. On Sunday, for the first time in it's history, the people of Saaremaa will finally vote the man, not the party, thus ensuring the liberty of the voters. On a project started by Colonel Mihkel Vaino, on SUnday, the people will also vote in a referendum in which they will say if they want to retain the monarchy or the National Revolutionary State in it's purest form.

I now want to say to my Auswegian counterpart: If the Austwegian people are so offended by us calling for a dissipation of Sylvanian influences in their realm, thus keeping true to their Scanian heritage how can we as a people feel when our own revolution is compared so a mere coup d'etat? How come your government presents the situation as if the whole nation supports this whoring of the people for Sylvanian and Frescanian interests when a few months ago a civil war was ready to start but it was averted because Frescania blockaded the whole nation thus making the people kneel to their interests, the Sylvanian interest and the Suionian pretender that proclaimed herself queen?

To our Ivernian neighbors, I have to say that we are very disappointed by the fact that the government sees our situation so blindly only from the point of view of monarchists. Where were those monarchist in the winter when the people died of starvation and frostbite? The answer is that they were partying in the Winter Palace in Loksa. While the people in that town were suffering from one of the toughest winters they were partying in a palace filled with exotic plans brought from the Equator. The people have now said a strong "NO" to that and now those monarchists ran to your country and sadly they are filling your ears with lies and denigrate our people because they want their power and luxury back, not caring of how many lives would that end. We ask the government of Ivernia to reconsider their position and see that Saaremaa was, is and will continuously be the friend from the north. It is in our and your utmost interest to reopen our trade routes and continue our cooperation in developing our states.

Signed,
His Excellency, Colonel Kalev Soosaar,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

​

The Danish government continues to furnish insult after insult, recognizing illegal governments, courting communists and all around ignoring the Sylvanian government which has time and time again after re-opening the Danish Embassy in Charleroi at YOUR suggestion, attempted to create a pathway to real peace between our two nations. Your government is treading a thin line, a line that it cannot afford to tread with us and our patience is nearing the end. Must I remind Mr. Westerveld and the Danish Government that it was your spy plane that brought us to the brink of war? This game is not one we shall play with the you and your government should know that if priority is not given to a peace process with Sylvania then we will have no choice but to forcibly eject your diplomats WITHOUT warning and you can mark my words: there will not be a second chance. The Sylvanian people; the ENTIRE world is through with your games and we will not be treated like this.

The Republic is sadden to see the Kingdom of Danmark recognize an obvious putsch in the North. We had hope the government in Danmark understands the consequences of its policies.
