For a future of peace, justice and progress.

By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - A better world is both possible and essential for human survival. Working class people around the world need a future without war, exploitation, inequality and poverty. Through growing consciousness and experience in struggles on the job and in our communities nationally and internationally, we the working class strive to build a brighter future based on peace, justice, equality, cooperation and meeting human needs. That future is socialism, a system in which working class people control their own lives and destinies. The National-Syndicalist People's Party is dedicated to the struggle for socialism in this country and socialist unity in Europe.

Millions of working people have the power, if organized and united, to govern their country, to create a government of, by, and for the people. The people, suffering from an exploitative, oppressive economic system, have the right and responsibility to alter or abolish it. The people can remove big corporate financial donors from the election process, throw the speculators out of the banks, breakup or nationalize “too large to fail” banks, eject CEO’s from their golden parachutes, and elect honest working people to represent them in a People's Government instead of corporate lawyers and multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Socialism, with the active participation of millions, will usher in a new era. The great wealth of Europe will for the first time be used for the benefit of all people. People’s rights will be guaranteed and expanded. Social equality will be the basis of domestic policies and practices. Foreign policy will be based on mutual respect, peace, and solidarity. Socialist unity is not a dream but rather a necessity to improve working class people’s lives and ensure the survival of developed human civilization. Only socialist unity can bring about the solutions to the problems of today's world. The working class, the vast majority of the population, will have full political and economic power if socialist unity will be achieved.

We, the working class and people of the Ostmark, faced tremendous problems: exploitation, oppression, poverty, and a government dominated by the most vicious elements of big capital and its political operatives. We faced the problems of everyday living, making ends meet, and having a voice at work and in our communities.

Europe has a rich history of radical and revolutionary struggles, of mass movements demanding and winning economic and social programs to meet the basic needs of the people, of protecting and expanding proletarian democracy, and of uniting to overcome obstacles with initiative, energy, and innovation. The National-Syndicalist People's party is a proud part of Europe’s radical traditions. Since our founding in 2014, we have participated in the historic struggles of our class and people: for Social Security, for unemployment benefits, for the right to unionize, for gender equality, for the right to healthcare and education and for justice through the struggles of the workers of Ostmark, for peace, to restore a militant struggle orientation to labor, and many other struggles.

We, the working people of Germania, Gallia and the whole of Europe, in order to form a more perfect society, need socialist unity, not divisions. We need a Socialist Internationale.

Arbeiter aller lander, vereinigt euch!
Workers of the world, unite!

THE VOLKSWEHR IS LOYAL TO OUR REVOLUTIONARY CAUSE

Our soldiers are a firm guarantee of our country's sovereignty and prosperity.

You must be registered for see medias
By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - The foundation of the Volkswehr in October 2018 is a historic event of great significance in carrying out the revolutionary cause of National-Syndicalism. The birth of the People's Defense Force provided a solid military guarantee to firmly defend the sovereignty of the country and successfully carry out the great cause of the National-Syndicalist People's Party.

The Volkswehr is the vanguard that faithfully upholds the idea and cause of our revolution, and it is a strong pillar which sturdily defends the dignity and safety of the Volksrepublik and people and the gains of our hard work. It is the creator of people’s happiness and pioneer of civilization that performs proud exploits on every worksite of National-Syndicalist construction.

All our soldiers have turned out as one in the offensive for making a head-on breakthrough to take a bigger stride of revolutionary advance in hearty response to the guidance of our Wise Leader People's Chancellor Horst Grasser. Absolute loyalty of our soldiers who respond to the National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei’s call with their hearts and practice is the most ardent patriotism.

Loyalty to the Partei is the motive force for making everyone passionate combatants in the struggle for decisively defending the independent dignity of the country and nation. And loyalty to the Party is also the fundamental source that makes people glorify their whole life on the road for the country’s prosperity.

THE BENEFITS OF THE "PEOPLE FIRST" POLICIES

Ostmarkians are confident in the bright future of National-Syndicalism.

You must be registered for see images

By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - Ostmark was liberated from the occupation of international capitalist lobbies on October 8th, 2018. When all the Ostmarkian people turned out in the building of a new country, the agrarian reform and the nationalization of major industries were enforced and the law on wage equality was promulgated, with the result that women became full-fledged masters of the country.

Even in the initial period of poverty and famine, the Volksregierung presided by our Wise Leader Horst Grasser took measures to rebuild decaying infrastructures and build brand new homes the sake of working people and carry textbooks for pupils and students by means of military trains. It also effected the universal free medical care system to improve the people’s health and protect their life. It enforced the universal free education. Entering the new year, it introduced the universal free 12-year compulsory education to promote the development of education.

Thanks to the People First policies of the National-Syndicalist People's Party, the Ostmarkian people are provided with modern dwelling houses free of charge, and they do not know the word “rent”. Typical of them are the houses built in outskirts of Wien, distributed to the working people.

Two children's hospitals have been built in Ludwigstad and Wilhelmstadt to ensure that working people enjoy the highest quality and standard of civilization. Orphans and aged persons with no one to look after them are living a happy life free from worries at orphanages, baby homes, primary and middle schools for orphans and old people’s homes. Most recently, Wilhelmstad has been face-lifted as befits a model of mountainous cultured town and a hot spring resort with unique architectural styles. Such facts are by no means attributable to its good conditions, nor has it rich material wealth.

Due to the persistent moves of hostile capitalist forces to isolate and suffocate the People's Republic of Ostmark, the country was faced with manifold hardships and difficulties. It has invariably pursued the People First policies as its social system is the people-centred one in which working people are the masters of everything and everything in society serves them. Enjoying State benefits under the guidance of the Wise Leader, People's Chancellor Horst Grasser, the Ostmarkian people are advancing vigorously towards the bright future of National-Syndicalism, full of confidence and optimism.

LET US MAKE SELFLESS, DEVOTED SERVICE FOR THE PEOPLE

Government officials must be boundlessly loyal to the People's Republic of Ostmark.

You must be registered for see medias
By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - The spirit of devoted service for people that should be possessed of by officials is the ardent fighting spirit of solving problems on the principle of absoluteness and unconditionality and the spirit of devoted service of going through thick and thin for the sake of them. Devotion to people is namely the devotion to revolution and the loyalty to the National-Syndicalist People's Party and our Wise Leader Horst Grasser.

Today, the word "devoted service" is deeply implanted in people’s mind as a meaningful word symbolic of our Party’s popular nature and its aim of struggle. The way of devoted service for people covered by Wise Leader Horst Grasser is full of legends and miracles unprecedented in the history of our nation. Today’s work of devoted service is precisely the struggle to defend single-hearted unity and National-Syndicalism.

The way of devoted service is the way of the National-Syndicalist People's Party, the way of the National-Syndicalist revolution. Only when officials work with tireless energy and spirit to attain a far-reaching goal and ideal for a better future of people can they be said to be true revolutionaries boundlessly loyal to the Party’s cause. The officials and the members of the Party must be boundlessly loyal to Volkskanzler Horst Grasser and genuine servants of the People's Republic of Ostmark.

Fellow Citizens of the People's Republic of Ostmark,
Dear Kameraden,


He who wants to have the deepest impression of the decay and resurrection of Ostmark most vividly must go and see the development of a city like Wien, which today reverberates with life and activity and which still a short time ago was a dead spot nearly without means of existence and without prospects of a future - it pays to revisualize this past.

When this city experienced its first upward move it coincided with the rise of the People's Republic of Ostmark. During the same time as the so-called peace-loving and nations led a great number of hostile acts, political and economical, against our people. But Ostmark then knew only one aim: To maintain peace, to work in peace, to raise the prosperity of its people, and thereby to contribute to human culture and civilization.

Ostmark in the past has attempted, with unending diligence, with geniality, and with steadiness, to form its life within and to safeguard outwardly - through participation in peaceful competition with the nations - its due place in the sun. Even though this Ostmark occupied herself with peaceful things, she was unable to prevent other nations, and especially their economic lobbies, from following this rise with envy and hatred.

When our nation had surrendered to the lobbies of usury and debt, a period of suppression, blackmailing, plundering, and slavery began. Robbery upon robbery, oppression upon oppression were the consequences. No one in the so-called democratic world bothered himself any more about the sufferings of our people. Thousands fell in the war against poverty, not from enemy weapons, but from the hunger blockade. This was continued for months and years in order to oppress our people still more.

Added to that was a financial plundering such as Europe had never before seen. The monetary penalties which were imposed on the Ostmarkian people reached astronomical figures. So was a great people such as the Ostmarkian one raped and led toward a misery that you all know as the Days of Sorrow. A great people through a broken pledge was cheated of its rights and its existence rendered practically impossible.

Ostmarkians ended their lives out of despair, others slid into lethargy and an inevitable destiny and still others were of the opinion that everything must be destroyed; still others set their teeth and clenched their fists in unconscious rage. Still others believed that the past should be restored - restored just as it was. Everyone had an idea of some sort. And I, as an unknown worker in a car factory, drew my conclusions.

It was a very short and simple program. It ran: Removal of the internal enemies of the nation, termination of the divisions within Ostmark, the gathering up of the entire national strength of our people into a new community, and the breaking of austerity packages - in one way or another!

The Ostmarkian people were not created in order to follow obediently a law which suits the global capitalist lobbies, but rather in order to champion their right to live. That is why we are here! I was determined to take up this battle of advocating the Ostmarkian right to live.

I took it up first within the nation. In place of a great number of parties, social ranks, and societies, a single community now has taken its place - the Ostmarkian People's Community! To bring it to realization and to deepen it more and more is our task. I had to hurt many in this time. However, I believe that the good fortune in which the entire nation is participating today must richly compensate every single one for what he had to give up dearly on his own part. You all have sacrificed your parties, societies, and associations, but you have obtained in return a great strong Ostmark. And Ostmark today is strong enough to take your rights under its protection. We no longer are dependent on the good graces or disgraces of other states or their statesmen.

When, almost two years ago, I obtained power, I took over a wretched inheritance. Ostmark seemed to possess no more possibilities of existence for its citizens. I undertook the work at that time with the one single capital which I possessed. It was the capital of your strength to work. Your strength to work, my fellow-comrades, I now have begun to put to use. I had no foreign exchange. I had no gold reserve. I had only one thing - my faith in our ideals and your work!

Thus we began the gigantic work of rebuilding based upon the confidence of the nation, instilled with the belief and the confidence in its eternal values. Now we have found a new economic system, a system which is this: Workers are the power of labor and the coverage of money lies in our production. We have founded a system based on the most sincere foundation there is, namely: Form your life yourself! Work for your existence! Help yourself and Ostmark will help you!

We have not slaughtered thousands in the process but instead we have regulated our problems with law and order and socio-economic reforms. However, I should like to say one thing here: The Ostmarkian people of today, the Ostmarmkian Nation of today is not willing to surrender life interests, it also is not willing to face rising dangers without doing something about them.

My fellow Ostmarkians,

I believe that all States will be facing the same problem which we have faced. State after State will either fall under the financial capitalism pest or it will defend itself. We have done it and have now erected a national Ostmarkian People's State. This people's State wants to live in peace and friendship with any other State but it will never again let itself be forced down by another State.

I do not know whether the world will become Socialist! But I am deeply convinced that this world in the end will defend itself against the most severe globalist capitalist threat that exists. Therefore I believe that a final understanding between nations will come sooner or later. Only when this capitalist wedge among peoples is removed can the establishment of co-operation among nations - built on lasting understanding - be considered. Today we must rely upon our own strength! And we can be satisfied with the results of this trust in ourselves - inwardly and outwardly.

When I came to power, my fellow-citizens, Ostmark was impoverished and impotent internally, and outwardly the sport of foreign designs. Today we are in order domestically. Our economy is flourishing. Abroad perhaps we are not loved by many, but respected. Yet we receive attention! That is the decisive factor! We have given southern Germania a great piece of good fortune, namely, peace.

So we will show that the Ostmarkian people did not surrender. From their sacrifice came the People's Republic of Ostmark. From their sacrifice was this strong young Ostmarkian people that the Volksrepublik called into being and that has now made itself felt. In the face of this sacrifice we shall not shy away from any sacrifice if it is ever necessary. Let the world understand that! It can make pacts and draw up declarations as much as it wishes. I have no faith in paper, but I do have faith in you, my fellow-citizens!

Let us take care that our people internally are never again in a position to be broken. Then no one in the world will threaten us. Then peace will either be maintained for our people or, if necessary, peace will be enforced. Then our people will bloom and flourish. Our people will be able to put their geniality, their ability, their diligence and steadfastness into the works of peace and human culture. This is our desire. We hope for it and we believe in it.

Six years ago the National-Syndicalist People's Party was founded - at that time a tiny organization. Consider the road from that time until today! Consider the wonders which have occurred about us. Believe, therefore, because of this wonderful road, also in the course of the Ostmarkian people in its coming great future!


People of Ostmark, the days of sorrow are over!

*The camera slowly zooms out. The flags of the People's Republic of Ostmark and the National-Syndicalist People's Party fade back in on the screen*

VOLKSKANZLER GRASSER VISITS LAURA GRASSER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

The Wise Leader honoured families of sick children in the Autonomous Province of Wallia.

By Heinrich Obenaus

WILHELMSTADT (Ostmark) - He is fairly well known in Ostmark and abroad for his paternal love for the people, and Volkskanzler Horst Grasser did his best to comfort a series of overwhelmed children who crumpled in his presence today during his visit to the Laura Grasser Children's Hospital in Wilhelmstadt. The People's Chancellor's trip was to give an award to ethnic-slavian families in the Autonomous Province of Wallia to recognise activities that promote "the institution of the family and child-rearing", but the youngest family member found the presentation from the Wise Leader a bit too much.

Young Anastasia Chernyshevsky, 3, burst into tears in front of the cameras as her family was honoured by the People's Chancellor. The Order of Parental Glory of the People's Republic of Ostmark is awarded to parents (or adoptive parents) who are raising five or more children and ensuring due care for their health, education, and physical, spiritual and moral development. Referring to the population growth in Ostmark, in his address to the twelve families receiving the award he said: "Our efforts to develop healthcare, education, the social sector and the economy in the interest of the people are producing results". "The birth rate continues to grow. These past two years have seen a steady annual natural growth." he added.

Before bestowing the awards on the families, the Wise Leader's child-friendly agenda included a visit to Laura Grasser Children's Hospital where he also overwhelmed the girls he was no doubt meant to endear. One patient shyly stared at the ground as the People's Chancellor put what was meant to be a comforting hand on her shoulder. But she later turned in to give him a hug while clutching a bunch of balloons. The hospital is "one of the most specialised high-tech research and treatment centre of its kind in Germania for treating children with blood, oncological, and immunological diseases", and was built after Volkskanzler Horst Grasser reformed the People's National Healthcare Service in late 2018. The hospital is named after the Wise Leader's defunct wife "A long time ago i made a promise to my wife: to always act in the interest of the people, to guarantee healthcare and ensure their well being. I always keep my promises." said a visibly emotional People's Chancellor.

*BREAKING NEWS - LIVE UPDATE*
TRAGEDY IN THE CLARET SEA: HUNDREDS DEATHS REPORTED AS CRUISE SHIP SINKS

SUDINSEL (Ostmark) - At least 238 people have been reported dead after Fridericus Rex, a Claret Lines cruise ship, carrying more than 2000 passengers and crew, caught fire and sank as it was sailing in the Claret Sea between Sudinsel and Bremen. The Ostmarkian Coast Guard on the scene confirmed 238 fatalities in a video message sent to Die Volksrepublik, adding that the death toll could go up. According to Coast Guard sources 211 other passengers have been rescued by nearby vessels, including cruise liner Ludovicus Rex, tuna longliner Annika II, Eiffellando-Retallian Meppen, Nedernesian cargo ship Icarus and All-Union navy vessels.

We also received reports that over 1500 people remain missing. There were conflicting reports on the total number of people on board the ship. A spokesman of the Sudinsel Coast Guard radio station, where the vessel originated, told Die Volksrepublik that the official manifest showed 1900 passengers and 157 crew members, or a total of 2057, on board the cruise ship. But he said that number could still change. An Ostmarkian Coast Guard official in Sudinsel was quoted by a local news report as saying that they received a call from the captain of Fridericus Rex at 2:00 asking for immediate help following an explosion in the engine room.

It was unclear what ignited the fire. Sudinsel port authorities said the vessel received clearance from the Coast Guard before it headed out to sea. "All the necessary safety certificates were complied before the ship was allowed to leave," they said. Coast Guard authorities also said that at the time of the fire, the area was experiencing harsh weather and large waves, making the rescue more difficult.

A passenger of the Ludovicus Rex posted images on social media showing hundreds of lights and red flares. One video he posted showed several passengers wearing life jackets standing at the edge of the area while an orange rescue raft was floating nearby. "We rescued about 60. Not sure about the rest," he wrote on his Twatter page. In another post, he said that he didn't see the Fridericus Rex "How did it sink so fast?" he comm
ented.

The Republic is shocked at this loss of life and offers its deepest condolences to those hurt by this disaster. The Republic offers all assistance possible. The Republican Coast Guard and natural gas conglomerate MadGas wish to offer their deep sea research vessels NMR Pinguim and the St. Anne. These ships are at the disposal of any investigation.

At 2:03am this morning, Fridericus Rex, a cruise ship of Ostmarkian company Claret Lines, launched a Mayday call to Maritime Rescue Center Sudinsel. Initial radio communications suggest the mayday was preceded by an explosion which allegedly occured in the engines room. At the moment, we neither confirm nor deny the cause of the explosion, or if the explosion was a consequences of a human error, or technical issues. At the moment of the Mayday there were 2082 passengers on board, not 2057 as previously stated by the medias.

At 6:23am this morning, immediatly after dawn, Claret Lines Fridericus Rex was officially declared sunken.

We can confirm the following balance: 535 rescued passengers, 1547 deaths of which 736 bodies are still missing. The nationalities of the victims, including the missing, are divided as follows: 1320 Ostmarkians, 119 Polesians, 80 Eiffellando-Retalians, 21 Kadikistani, 10 Elbeners, 7 Sereniennes, 2 Azraqis. We also confirm that all the crew members of Fridericus Rex, including Captain Hans Karl von Wilhelmstadt, have perished in the sinking. Unfortunately, considering the weather condition and the time that has passed since the accident, the chances of finding more survivors are null.


*Visibly shaken, Volkskanzler Grasser takes a short pause and clears his throat. A female hand appears on the right side of the screen, carrying a cup of water. Horst drinks a sip and hands the glass back to the woman.*

Danke.. *clearsthroat* ..so.. at the moment, the location and position of the shipwreck is unconfirmed. The Volksmarine, assisted by the Republican Coast Guard of the Republic of Madurja, the All-Union Navy of the Kadikistani Union, the Royal Navy of the Union of Eiffelland-Retalia, the personnel of the People's Coast Guard under the command of Maritime Rescue Center Sudinsel and Maritime Rescue Center Wien, OOCL Icarus and Annika II are currently cooperating to employ deep sea research vessels and rovers to locate the Fridericus Rex which, according to preliminary sonar surveys, is reportedly stuck at a depth of 136 meters.

My.. most sincere, and heartfelt condolences go to the families of the victims. The Volksregierung will do everything in its powers to assist them during this shocking, unprecedented tragedy. The People's Republic of Ostmark also thanks all the nations and vessels that provided fundamental assistance in rescue efforts and promises full transparency and cooperation in the investigations that will follow.


*Volkskanzler Grasser suddenly fades out. A view of the Palast der Volksrepublik, presumably streamed by a nearby building's roof, is zoomed on the flags fluttering on the roof as two honor guards of the People's Defense Force lower them to half mast. *

We are shocked at the sinking of the Fridericus Rex. Our thoughts and prayers go to the victims of this accident. We mourn the deaths of all victims, not just the Eiffelloretalian ones. There will be three days of national mourning in Eiffelland-Retalia. All flags at government buildings in Eiffelland-Retalia, as well as all flags at our embassies and consulates, will be flown half-mast with black banners. We offer our continued assistance in investigating the matter.

FOR THE PROTECTION OF WORKERS' AND FARMERS' POWER!
The People's Defense Force guarantees the success of our workers' revolution.

You must be registered for see medias
By Heinrich Obenaus

WIEN (Ostmark) - At a time when the whole National-Syndicalist People's Party, all the people and the entire military are waging a dynamic frontal offensive for making a breakthrough in response to the appeal of the Partei, we remember the meaningful day when our Wise Leader Volkskanzler Horst Grasser founded the Ostmarkian People's Defense Force. October 12, 2018, is a day of great significance when the long-cherished desire of the people for their own genuine army came true.

The foundation of Ostmark's first revolutionary and genuinely National-Syndicalist workers' and peasants' army, provided a military guarantee for putting an end to the miserable history of national sufferings and realizing the sacred cause of National-Syndicalism and the liberation of the oppressed working classes. Since then, the ever-victorious history and tradition of our workers' revolution has been unfolded.

Wise Leader Volkskanzler Horst Grasser is a peerless Statesman, military man and iron-willed brilliant commander
who unfolded a new history of building the armed forces of the People's Republic of Ostmark unprecedented in the history of revolutionary army building and created an example of its times. It is the steadfast will of our beloved Weiser Fuhrer to further strengthen and develop ours into the revolutionary armed forces of the people, faithful to their revolutionary nature.

Our revolutionary armed forces are those of faith fully armed with the revolutionary ideology of the National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei. They are the first death-defying corps defending the Volksrepublik Ostmark in every way. They also constitute invincible fighting ranks firmly equipped with the Partei’s military strategic idea and National-Syndicalist-oriented tactics.

All the women and men of the Volkswehr should bear deep in their minds the boundless dignity and pride in holding the Wise Leader in high esteem as their supreme commander to invariably maintain the revolutionary nature as the armed forces of the people and the Republic and carry through the revolutionary cause of National-Syndicalism.. They should add eternal luster to the army-building exploits performed byy the People's Chancellor in developing the National-Syndicalist revolutionary armed forces of the People's Republic of Ostmark.

The monolithic command system of the Wise Leader should be established more thoroughly across the entire army. The entire army should raise a fierce wind of arming itself with the spirit of of the 2018 October Revolution. It should demonstrate its might as the armed forces of the people in the frontal offensive for opening up a new avenue of advance for National-Syndicalist construction. Only victory and glory are in store for our country and revolution as there are the revolutionary armed forces unboundedly loyal to the National-Syndicalist People's Party’s ideology and cause.

The Volksmarine, assisted by the Republican Coast Guard of the Republic of Madurja, the All-Union Navy of the Kadikistani Union, the Royal Navy of the Union of Eiffelland-Retalia, the personnel of the People's Coast Guard under the command of Maritime Rescue Center Sudinsel and Maritime Rescue Center Wien, OOCL Icarus and Annika II are currently cooperating to employ deep sea research vessels and rovers to locate the Fridericus Rex which, according to preliminary sonar surveys, is reportedly stuck at a depth of 136 meters.

My.. most sincere, and heartfelt condolences go to the families of the victims. The Volksregierung will do everything in its powers to assist them during this shocking, unprecedented tragedy. The People's Republic of Ostmark also thanks all the nations and vessels that provided fundamental assistance in rescue efforts and promises full transparency and cooperation in the investigations that will follow.


*Volkskanzler Grasser suddenly fades out. A view of the Palast der Volksrepublik, presumably streamed by a nearby building's roof, is zoomed on the flags fluttering on the roof as two honor guards of the People's Defense Force lower them to half mast. *

The tragedy requires a serious, impartial investigation to ensure that no nefarious means were employed to discredit the standards of Marxist sea faring vessels. The underhanded ways of reactionary ideologues are without limit and we call on Volkskanzler Grasser to ensure that no expense is spared to silence the enemies of the proletariat revolution.

It is indeed needed to thoroughly investigate the loss of the Fridericus Rex, so that ship builders, ship inspectors and ship crews from all over the world, Communist or not, can learn from it.

WIEN (Ostmark) - In the People's Republic of Ostmark, women are provided with genuine rights in all spheres of social life. All their rights are guaranteed by such laws as the National-Syndicalist Constitution of the People's Republic of Ostmark, the Law on Protection of Women's Rights, the Equal Pay Law, the National-Syndicalist Welfare Organization, and Law on the Nursing and Upbringing of Children, and by the state and genuinely socialist policies. The state grants women the same rights to elect or be elected, work in the state and other organizations, and receive the labor protection and social security.

Nurseries, kindergartens and public service facilities have been arranged in residential districts and industrial establishments for their convenience and children are growing up at state and social expense. The state bestows special favors on the women with triplets and quadruplets to have doctors in charge of their households and be provided houses, medicines, foodstuffs and household articles free of charge. And the women with many children are preferentially treated in society and awarded even the title of Heroines of the People's Republic of Ostmark. Women amount to 47 percent of the deputies to the People's Assembly of the People's Republic of Ostmark. They exercise their political rights in party and government organs and working people's organizations at all levels, contributing to the prosperity of the country.

The valiant spirit of the Volksrepublik Ostmark dynamically advancing toward the rosy future by overcoming all the challenges and difficulties is a powerful eruption of the unbreakable revolutionary will of the Ostmarkian people boundlessly loyal to the cause of the National-Syndikalistische Volkspartei. The will to believe in and follow only the Partei grows neither of its own accord nor by pressure from someone. It is the loftiest and sincerest mind based on the ardent reverence for and absolute trust in the leader and on the validity of the National-Syndicalist People's Party's idea and line and inevitability of their victory.

Under the worst condition that others would not withstand even a single day, the working classes have steadily followed the road of ostmarkian-style socialism without a moment's stop and any deviation. The most firm faith and strong will in the world are the faith acquired through life and the will cemented through struggle. The high dignity and invincibility of the People's Republic of Ostmark are based on the steadfast faith and will of the people who firmly believe in and follow the Wise Leader Horst Grasser only.

The National-Syndicalist People's Party decided without hesitation to wage another arduous and protracted struggle and has opened up the broad avenue towards the victory of ostmarkian-style socialism, as it has firm belief in the people who are sharing the idea and intention with the Partei and keeping pace with it. The final victory against the capitalist lobbies of thr west is in store for the People's Republic of Ostmark and the workers who are carrying on vigorous struggle with strong faith and will.

RIFLES, BEER, MILITARY MARCHES: FREIKORPSFEST 2020!
If you are not Ostmarkian, you shouldn't drink or march like one.

LUDWIGSTADT AM SEE (Ostmark) - There’s a loud crack, the sound of metal splintering wood, and the wooden bird falls to the ground. The crowd of onlookers erupts and the band begins playing 19th century military marches. Everyone rushes to pay homage to the new Freikorpkönig who now sits hoisted on shoulders. You’ve just witnessed the coronation of a king, the King of the Free Corp. Beers all around! But remember: this is a marathon not a sprint.

Welcome to your first Freikorpsfest, the most curious tradition of small-town Ostmark! It’s a three-day party, a test of endurance (and of liver function), and the most Ostmarkian thing you’ll ever be invited to do. One minute you’re marching in the opening parade, two rows snaking towards the Festhalle (Festival Hall) trying only somewhat successfully to match your steps to the drum beats, and the next it’s the final day and you’re sitting on the floor sandwiched between two drunk Ostmarkians and rowing an imaginary boat. Behind the beer, the crowd surfing and the folk music, there’s more tradition in a Freikorpsfest than you’d realize. It’s a throwback to the Middle Ages, to a time of bandits and men joining together in a militia to protect their towns. Though there are no longer groups of bandits roaming the Ostmarkian countryside, the members of these shooting clubs still take the traditions very seriously. You can hear it in the music that they play, see it in the extravagant parades, in their devotion to the club rules, and the sheer number of members that still join these clubs.

You must know the number one Freikorpsfest rule to live by: If you are not Ostmarkian, you shouldn't drink or march like one. With that realization the Freikorpsfest gets so much easier. You’ll know to drink slowly, to take breaks, and to eat food a lot. To always, under every circumstance, refuse a two liters glass of beer because one will turn into four and you’ll hate yourself tomorrow. You’ll let people tease you about drinking soda and you won’t care because you know it saves lives. And on Day Four, when your entire body hurts and you’re so tired you can’t talk, don’t feel bad for feeling like crap. Everyone’s feeling it. The Ostmarkians are just better at hiding it, years of practice and genetics I guess. All you can do is grab a beer because there are 12 hours to go and it’s the only thing you can do.

By the end of the fourth night, which will come at the very reasonable midnight hour, you won’t be able to feel your feet or do much more than sway on the dance floor. The Festhalle will be emptier than you’ve ever seen it; there’s beer and remnants of broken glasses on the floor. Typisch Monday, everyone says. Congratulations, this is what it looks like to be a Freikorpsfest champion. It sounds exhausting, it definitely is, but it’s the most fun you’ll have all summer in Ostmark. The days usually play out in the same way; you’ll start at 10am, there’s more marching, dancing and singing, wurstels for breakfast, lunch (and probably dinner), and you’ll try and fail to keep up with what number beer you’re on. And then it’ll be 5am.

But none of this is what makes the Freikorpsfest great. The best memories are the simplest ones, made great because of the people. Ostmarkians are the friendliest people in the world and each time there’s a get-together like this I see that more and more. Whether it’s someone who waits for you to string high-Ostmarkian sentences together and then pretends they’re good, or someone that drags you onto the dance floor to row an imaginary boat with them.
I feel incredibly lucky to call Ostmark, and Ludwigstadt specifically, home.
