TO: Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Beautancus and Lars

Dear Sirs,

We are happy to facilitate the travel of Cussian military vessels to their new base in the Grand-Duchy of Lars. We offer the protection by the Eiffelloretalian air force while said vessels sail through the Retalian Sea, given a certain lady west of the Retalian Sea with an unhealthy interest in pyrotechnics and poisonous substances. Because of said lady, the Cussian vessels will be allowed to use Eiffelloretalian territorial waters.

Gianluigi di Gravesano-Carone, Minister of Foreign Affairs

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Random Eiffelloretalian: "Antistatists and Cussians in Lars? Well, that's gonna be a party."

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

OOC: Normally I would have searched for the names of the Ministers of Foreign affairs. Unfortunately, I do not have that much time. Sorry for that.

- Tensions in the neighboring nation of Crotobaltislavonia

[/div]
The shadow of ethnic clashes reappears in the nearby CBS republic. Recent clashes in the Banja Luka Red Square have brought to mind the not-too-long days of systematic violence that plagued this German inland republic. Together with the resurgence of ethnic struggles, the local institutions of Lars, are undergoing a greater contrast on the part of the new political authorities that have been created following the death by accident of key figures of high rank pro-lars of the political life of cbs , like Eduard Frei.

At Frei's funeral, the Grand Duchess of Lars and the Minister for Good Relations, Orlando Furioso attended. Orlando later pointed out that his colleague believed in a more democratic future for all of Crotobaltislavonia, the country's need to build its future with the stone of words and not with the lead of arms.

The Prime Minister, Tusca Larci asked that his partner, the Republic of Crotobaltislavonia, respect the treaties and apply further steps to combat corruption within his political, military, judicial and police bodies. Failing to respect the signed agreements, it could cancel the entire agreement signed between nations of CBS, Lars and the Kingdom of Gunnland, with the respective access of the northern kingdom to the single long sea market and economic aid for Three Gorges High Dam.

➤ Isabella I of Lars has condemned the violence in the Red Square and asked for police internal investigations for their slow intervention in preventing the clashes.
➤ The Grand Duchy does not participate in the peace conference of Germany, following the still active mobilization of the armed forces of Kadikistan on its borders.

- Cross-border commuters

[/div]Following the normalization of political relations between Lars and Banja Luka, which has been going on for several months, we have seen the birth of the so-called frontier workers. Workers residing in the Republic of Crotobaltislavonia, but thanks to the less restriction on the border between the two nations they were able to look for a job across the border, in the Grand Duchy.

In a few months, the number of workers who cross the border every day and then return to their home country in the evening are about 25,345 workers. The reasons behind this boom are due to the increasing number of vacancies in Lars' work world as mechanics, plumbers, electricians, masons, etc. The young people of Larsen have easily gained access to higher education levels and are unwilling to accept jobs that do not correspond to their study skills. Furthermore, the average salary in the Grand Duchy can be up to 10 times higher than in one's own country.

Experts speak of a greater growth than the number of cross-border commuters from neighboring Crotobaltislavonia, it is assumed that at the end of the year the number could be doubled, especially if the Banja Luka government undertakes to respect signed international agreements.

➤ Once the first naval units were handed over to the Marsilian Coast Guard, training is scheduled between the Grand Duchy Navy and the city state of Marsilia.
➤ The installation of the defense system on the ship destined to the Confederation of the Johnston Islands has ended. The ship is sailed escorted by a unit of the Royal Navy of the Grand Duchy to the client's ports.

- Flight over Marsilia
At the helm of a seaplane, Gianluca Annunziato, a poet and writer of novels like "Lars, far from everyone", has today taken a solitary and in many ways courageous action. On board of his seaplane, the poet, flew solo to Retalia where he held a stop to replenish his necessary fuel aircraft and then head towards the city state of Marsilia. At 10:34 am local time, the seaplane flew over the city of Marsilia at low altitude, dropping thousands of flyers translated into three languages.
MARSILIES!
Learn to know the Larsians.
We are flying over Marsilia; we do not bombard you as Serenniere did. All we are dropping on you is a greeting of two colors: the two colors of liberty.
We Larsian do not make war on children, on old people, on women.
We are making war on enemy of national liberty, on blind, stubborn, cruel destiny that can give you neither peace nor bread, and feeds you hatred and illusions.

MARSILIES!
You are famous for being intelligent. By now, you see, the whole world hasthey have forgotten you.
Do not listen to the Aurarans, who did not believe your suffering during the seven-day war.
Their decisive victory is like the justice of Serenniere: You die waiting for it.

MARSILIES!
Ask your representatives to join your brothers in Lars as the fifth free region.

PEOPLE OF MARSILIA, think of your own fates. Wake up!
LONG LIVE LIBERTY!
LONG LIVE LARS!
LONG LIVE to the brothers of Marsilia!

Following the flight over the city, Gianluca had to land with his seaplane in the waters of Marsilia, where he was joined by the local Coast Guard and placed under arrest. The authorities reported that the poet did not resist but instead welcomed him by uncorking a bottle of wine and inviting them to toast to celebrate the event.

Our newspaper will keep you informed about future developments of the "Raid on Marsilia"​

- The Flying Poet
[div] style="width: 250px; padding: 5px; float:right" |

[/div]The poet Gianluca Annunzio has been arrested by the local authorities and risks several charges including: unauthorized overflight of a town, violation of a no-fly zone such as the city of Marsilia. Gianluca communicated through his lawyer that he was fine and that he did not suffer any kind of abuse during his arrest, which: "It was like meeting old friends again."

The border authorities are still under investigation as to how it is possible for a small aircraft to have managed to reach Marseilles without arousing suspicion. Some fishing boats in the area had communicated the presence of a seaplane flying at low altitude, but the announcement was not followed with a subsequent study by the competent authorities.

The Tuscia executive did not comment on the incident in detail, the Red House issued a statement declaring the highest trust in local institutions that will surely manage the case in an impartial manner.
The poet's arrest took place at the gates of the delivery and training of the coast guard of Marsilia, which regardless of the poet's action, will not be delayed and will demonstrate Lars's proximity to Marsilia.

The Empire welcomes recognition from the Grand Duchy of Lars and will normalize relations post haste. The three imperial nations are proud of their individual track records of cooperation with Lars, and we are pleased that this cooperation can now continue under the auspices of the empire.

- Tiburan Party in Marsilia
Following the capture of the poet Gianluca Annunzio and his release in anticipation of the beginning of the trial. Upon his release, a crowd of supporters of Tibetan culture and welcomed him outside the prison facility. In the following days, Marsilia was pervaded by a Tiburan nationalist sentiment like never before.

Occitania is a mixture of cultures, in which persists a large Tiburan minority who lived on the islands and coast of the kingdom of Occitania. At the end of the seven-day war, the agreements stipulated created the city state of Marsilia, free from the influence of the two blocs and immediately forgotten by all.

The only nation to economically, politically and humanitarianly support Marseille was the Grand Duchy. In all these months, the proximity of the island to the grand duchy has been reduced by the commitment that both communities have shown in recent months. The action of the poet, coming from the past few days, is the manifestation of the cultural exchanges of a people divided and equally united by the sea.

The politician Francesco Cavour, new on the political scene of Marsilia, of humble origins, founded a new list in the local elections. The party is called the Tiburan Movement, and according to the polls it is one of the most favored if not the most favored to lead the country in the next elections. The political movement appears on the scene as an alternative to traditional political groups, which fail to capture the support of the lower-middle class of the local population, most affected by the war. The Grand Duchy of Lars called on local authorities to create free and transparent local elections.

➤ The high-speed tunnel between Eiffilland and Lars in the Volturria area has been inaugurated and will operate in constant mode for high-speed trains.
➤ Marsilia signs the card to join the OSCR organization.
The Grand Duchy of Lars announced its intention to join the World Permanent Conference.

- Tiburan Party Won
In the large city state of Marsilia, the first free elections were held since the end of the seven-day war. Three major parties took part in these elections. The Tiburan Party, which with its liberal economic program and the proposal to hold a referendum to join the Grand Duchy of Lars. The conservatives, who proposed to maintain the status quo acquired at the end of the war. Monarchical faction, the least voted, which proposed the restoration of the King and the return to absolute monarchy.

The ballot boxes, the people, rewarded the political program of the new Governor Francesco Cavour, who now holds the majority in the local parlament chamber. In his inauguration speech, he recalled the importance for the city of Marsilia of reaching its Tiburan brothers in what he called the Great Tiburan state.

The swearing-in ceremony will take place today and the new governor will swear on the Document of human values, a document made at the end of the war that collects the rights or duties of the citizens of Marsilia. An innovative document because in the document we no longer speak of subjects of the crown but of citizens of Marsilia.

.


➤ Fixed the date for the referendum in Marsilia regarding the union with Lars.
➤ At the swearing-in ceremony in Marsilia, Prime Minister Tuschia Larci will be present.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Regards from the Government and Folk of Natal,

We wish to congratulate the Tiburan Movement of Marsilia for their electoral victory and we hope that they will manage to rise up to the expectations and the faith the people of the Free City has put on them. We do understand the need to see the people of Marsilia pass through the days of sorrow caused by the war in Occitania and the disaster that was the bombing campaign towards the city from the continent. Yet, we are weary, for the sake of the city's citizens especially, that such a fast developing pan-Tiburan movement might start a domino reaction that would destabilise the region.

We believe that the self-determination of the peoples of the world is the only way to bring peace in the whole of Europe and create a world of democratic and free nations, this also including the Pan-Tiburan aspirations of the Marsilian population. What we recommend is a thorough negotiation between the neighbouring countries and the new Marsilian government and the Larsian authorities, so that hostilities wouldn't start again and have the people of the island suffer even more, rather than rushing in with a referendum and an ascension of Marsilia as the newest territory of Lars.

Signed and Sealed
on behalf of the folk,
Charles Ashford
Minister of Foreign Affairs

- Navy exercises
As anticipated in the previous issues of this newspaper, the Royal Navy sent its Frigate to the waters of Marsilia for the usual training of local naval forces. For the occasion, the frigate embarks on a special team of naval raiders. The team will participate with local naval police in various simulations such as the release of hostages, boarding, diving and anti-piracy control activities.

The exercise takes place following the delivery of new naval units to local forces and represents a successful step in the relationship between the two armed forces. With the entry of Marsilia into the OSCR agreements, as well as joining the single mar long market, the city benefits from the exchange of information on security matters coming from the remaining members.

➤ The demonstrations are the voice of democracy, says the prime minister.

The Anti-State naturally supports the democratic aspirations of people everywhere, as expressed in free, fair and open elections. The new political realities in Marsilia have paved the way for a referendum at which's conclusion the unification of Marsilia with the Grand Duchy of Lars might be witnessed.

While the nation state must be overcome, we recognize that the referendum and its outcome - whatever that may be - will have come about by legitimate democratic processes that can help heal the wounds of the ongoing partition and occupation of Occitania, that should be respected by all statist actors. We hope that regional Gallian actors will work in close cooperation with both the Marsilian and Larsian authorities to proceed with the next steps in this process in a spirit of peaceful cooperation.

Forever Free,

- Referendum in Marsilia
[div] style="width: 250px; padding: 5px; float:right" |
You must be registered for see images
[/div]The colorful and lively streets of Marsilia today are full of people who left their homes early in the morning to reach their polling stations and express themselves in the referendum. Local police are monitoring security at polling stations and no order problems are reported to date.

In the days before the referendum, several peaceful demonstrations were held inside the Territory of Marsilia and in the Kingdom of Occitania, both fronts, however, maintained a peaceful climate of collaboration with the local authorities. The Governor Cavour, invited the citizens to respect the results of the recent elections and the future Referendum in which the front of the admission to Lars is very strong. "I am a son of freedom, and to her I owe everything I am. As a child, I have a duty to uplift the status of my brothers and sisters. Freedom has its purest form of expression through democratic processes like those we are now seeing at Marsilia." The governor commented on our microphones.

The first exit polls give the front for the union to Lars the advantage of several percentage points. Tomorrow, with the end of the vote and the beginning of the scruple, the city of Marsilia will know its destiny within the European chessboard. With the start of the vote in the Governorate of Marsilia, the Government of the Grand Duchy of Lars advised the Constitutional Court on the possibility of annexing a territory to the Grand Duchy. The borders of Lars have not been changed for about two centuries and the executive wants to avoid any possible legal problem that would arise in the case of the voluntary admission of a new territory to Lars.

- Referendum in Marsilia
With the counting of votes that is coming to an end, with only a few setori to scrutinize, the victory of the union front is now certain with its more than 65% in favor of the 87% that have the right to vote and participated in the referendum. The victory of the unionist front was celebrated by people taking to the streets to celebrate, while the opossitions said they would appeal to the high court of justice to have a recount of the votes.

At the same time in Lars, the constitutional court reported that there are no legal impediments to the admission of a new territory to the Grand Duchy and that it is up to the Executive and the Senate to decide how the union can come about. Prime Minister Tusca Larci has confirmed that his government has taken part in negotiations with the Governor Cavour of Marseille to establish the terms of the union which will have to be considered also the various bad moods coming from some independent senators.

The negotiations will be long but the contracting parties are certain that the union will be assured and the wish of the respected referendum. In the public offices present in the Governorate of Marsilia, the flag of the Grand Duchy was hoisted in an institutional ceremony where both hymns were played in front of thousands of citizens.



➤ Marsilia will be known as the Special Statute Region of the Grand Duchy of Lars, further investigation on page 12.

- Mercenaries
The mercenaries who left Lars to fight in BPR are about thirty. "To understand why they start, just take a look at their social profiles," explains Cosimo Damedia. "We often see that they are people with extreme ideologies, extreme right or left, that in the conflict of the Burgundia they see a way of expressing themselves".

According to Damedia, a good part of them joined the irregular BPR soldiers, who embrace left-wing ideals. "Among the BPR soldiers there are many people with extreme leftist opinions, who manage to attract those who think like them from other countries, such as Lars".

Today, the Lars Court issued 6 arrest warrants for recruitment or militant armed activity. At the end of August 2019, the first 3 people living in Lars were sentenced: Vladimiro Vitorivic, a 26-year Crotobaltislavonian settled in Slavia; the ambiguous figure of Orsi Crutani, a convincingly pro-Comunist 39-year-old Larsigiano resident of Giglio; Antonio Cataldo, a 35-year-old Larsigiano from Lars, enlisted in the militias at the fall of Neustria. It is not clear if Vladimiro had Larsigiana citizenship, but certainly the Grand Duchy was his starting point.

Among the names of the other 3 wanted Larsigians, there is also that of Franco Remi, "all tattooed, with Cyrillic writings" as Damedia underlines, searched for in Lars also for other crimes. Not surprisingly, Franco went to the Burgundian People's Republic by car, to avoid border checks at airports.

The judiciary and the police, together with the secret services, are conducting further investigations in order to completely stop all forms of recruitment and training for the conflict in northern Europe inside Granduchy of Lars; in the Larsigiana law, the "mercenary" practice is a crime above all if this could affect the diplomatic relations of the Grand Duchy itself with the countries involved.

- Royal Marriage
His Royal Highness, Grand Duchess Isabella I of Lars and Duke Jean-Louis Gaston d 'Kolmar, through the royal family spokesman, announced their intention to marry by the end of the month.
It had already been several weeks since the news appeared in local newspapers, but it was still lacking confirmation from those directly involved.

The ceremony, behind the explicit requests of the future spouses, will be simpler and
economical than the traditional one with which the Grand Duchess's parents will marry.

Invitations have already been sent to all relevant political figures and other royal families. Citizens will be able to follow the ceremony live nationally or on large screens set up in major urban centers.

The Grand Duke of Furlanìe and the Ducal family upon reading of the happy news coming from the nearby Grand Duchy of Lars desired to extend their sincere good wishes to the Grand Duchess Isabella I of Lars and Duke Jean-Louis Gaston d 'Kolmar.

Grand Duke Fiorbèrt de Salustri will surely attend to the ceremony.

The lack of the ancient splendors will be shadowed by the grace of the rightful ruler of Lars.

- Arts, National Treasure.

Afther the death of an noble elderly man, his cfamily found some works of art dating back to the Renaissance period of Lars, including a painting depicting the lady of Giglio holding an ermine, wife of the local Lord.

The work was traced back to the artist Leonardo da Giglio, thanks to the presence of numerous historical texts written in that period by the artist himself and by the workshop in which he worked. The oil painting on canvas was thought to have been destroyed in the incident that struck the palace of the Princes of Giglio in 1653.

The family that found the lost painting, hurried to put it on auction and was bought for a value of about 400 million euromark. The buyer preferred to keep the country of origin secret, but he is sure that the work will have to be expatriated.

Amanda Giannattasio, Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, has already communicated the ministry's intention to deny the extradition of the painting and has declared it a material treasure of the state, effectively preventing its sale. The work will now remain within the Grand Duchy where the money will be collected and officially purchased by the state.


➤ The Grand Duchess and the Grand Duke consort held the traditional banquet for the poor inside the Royal residence.
➤ Mass held in the cathedral of Pisa, attendance record, first traditional Tiburan mass after the reunification of the two churches.
