- Internal Politics
The Prime Minister Marino presented today to the Grand Duchess his resignation because it would no longer be the ideal conditions for him to continue with his political plan. "Today I reassigned my position in the hands of the Grand Duchess and I suggested the name of Tusca Larci to form a new government. There will be no early elections because the Conservatives and Independent coalition still has the majority. I am proud of the results achieved and I wish all the luck possible to those who will replace me." said former Prime Minister Marino to our microphones.

Tusca Larci is a senator from the Conservatives Party, a supporter of the policy of the three Ps to protect the interests of Lars.
-Presence; Greater presence of the Royal Lars Navy in the territorial waters of Lars and on the commercial routes coming and going from the Grand Duchy.
-Projection: Greater diplomatic assistance to its citizens and activities present abroad in order to protect their interests and those of the Grand Duchy.
-Participation: Greater participation and economic, political, humanitarian presence of the grand duchy on the international scene with the aim of improving agreements and relationships that exist as well and creating new ones.​
The proposed policy of the senator is more interventionist than her colleague Xeno Marino, but Mrs. Tusca has never been an adversary of the prime minister, has always been one of its strongest supporters in the Senate.

The Grand Duchess immediately called the conservative party senator, Tusca Larci, for consultations. At the end of the meeting, as everyone expected, the Grand Duchess has entrusted the new Prime Minister Tusca with the task of forming a new executive.

The new Prime Minister, Tusca Larci: " I thank the Senate, the People and God for this the opportunity offered me to lead this great country that is Lars. I promise to respect the fundamental values in which all the citizens of Lars recognize each other. Former Prime Minister Xeno Marino, whom I see as a mentor, has left us a great legacy including the recent Lars summit. It will be my concern and interest to continue its policy by integrating it into my government agenda. The successes of the previous government are the basis for our future."

The new prime minister has reassured neighboring governments that there will be no reconsideration of the policies expressed by the previous government or previously signed agreements.

Banja Luka,


The Free Canton of , while cognizant and respectful of the Grand Duchy of Lars' national sovereignty, urges the Grand Duchy to give its neighbors advance notice of any and all foreign military deployments on Larsian soil, to disclose the size and disposition of said deployments, and to limit the duration of said deployments to as short a time as possible.

"Cooperation must be based upon sound rules. This teaches orderliness; that is, it helps the acquirement of a rhythm. Thus even in daily work are expressed the great laws of the Universe."

The statement of the Anti-State, as well as the rhetoric from the new Prime Minister is deeply concerning for the peace of the region. To cavort with anti-state actors is a deeply dangerous policy doctrine to adopt.

The Republique Serazinist respects the rights of nation-states, however national sovereignty as a doctrine does not apply in the context of Post-Delegationist ideology. To hide behind national sovereignty while making one's bed with an anti-state entity is a deeply hypocritical and flawed foreign policy.

The Grand Duchy of Lars, long isolated from the rest of the world, shall be swallowed up by the menace of Post Delegationism. This is a deeply concerning development for the region and we shall continue to monitor the situation.

Mr. Lavosnier's comment betrays the lack of respect for national sovereignty he accuses us of and is befitting of the representative of a government that has waged illegal warfare with terroristic characteristics, gassing men, women and children in Occitania for self-serving accumulation of power in service of the morally corrupt ideologies of the Rurikgrad Pact. It is this behavior, needlessly antagonistic, excessively cruel, that pushes the neighbors of Serenierre to arm themselves with the constitutional tools to find appropriate responses to the challenges posed to their way of life.

The Anti-State welcomes any and every step that the people of Lars opt to take towards post-delegationism, the purest application of democratic principles and the only hope for the survival of the human race in the long run. Under the doctrine of the Anti-State of many paces, we understand that changes will come at their own pace, as is dialectically evident. It does not however consider these steps a prerequisite for supporting the Larsian people's right to develop their democratic institutions at their own pace, in their own way.

The Anti-State, as the best hope for mankind, the guardian of democratic principles and the unwavering defender of the same human rights that Villesen stomps under its iron boots every day, will continue to assist the Larsian people in safeguarding their democratic institutions where requested. We leave the subjugation and enslavement of those that would prefer to stay free to others.

Forever Free,

Deflection is the hallmark of the tyrant. The Anti-State is preying on the peripheral states of the world. The flawed ideology of Post-Delegationism shall destroy the Grand Duchy in a nefarious manner. We call on the Grand Duchess and the new Prime Minister to return to the wise foreign policy of former PM Marino.

The Republic of Serenierre has every right to ask questions about politics has intentions to adopt the Grand Duchy of Lars. It is however the duty of the republic itself to accept as the declarations coming from the Lars government alone as the official ones. Initiating international debates on positions not yet adopted by Lars, such as alliances or agreements between two countries, appears to be counterproductive for the relations between the Republic of SRN and Lars, because this kind of behavior denigrates the democratic institutions of the Grand Duchy.

We thank former Prime-Minister Marino for the role he played during the Summit of Lars. As a result of this summit, Eiffelland-Retalia has given complete cooperation with internationalising the Retalian Sea, except for a 12 nautical miles zone of territorial waters around the Retalian Islands. Also before said summit, we enjoyed cooperating with former Prime-Minister Marino very much. It is with sadness that we see him go. We wish him all the best.
We also congratulate Prime-Minister Larci with her appointment as Prime-Minister of Lars. We wish her all the wisdom she will need as Prime-Minister, and look forward to a fruitful cooperation with her in the future.
Eiffelland-Retalia is one of the signatories of the Camp Hill accords. This means that we recognise Western-Occitania as sovereign country. We won't oblige other countries to do the same.
The Grand-Duchy of Lars has the sovereign right to change its constitution and allow foreign troops on its territory. The Grand-Duchy of Lars also has the sovereign right to choose its friends or allies. One remark about that though: Lars and Eiffelland-Retalia have a non-agression treaty with each other, and since recently also Serenierre and Eiffelland-Retalia; would it be an option if Serenierre, Crotobaltislavonia and Lars close non-aggression treaties as well?
We also want to emphasize the need to cooperate. We fully understand that the Grand-Duchy or Lars has an interest in the Retalian Sea and the Long Sea; however, that is an interest it shares with Serenierre, Eiffelland-Retalia, Ostmark, Pelasgia, Eastern-Occitania, Western Occitania, Warre and Auraria. We think it is needed that the countries just mentioned recognise that shared interest and come to an agreement on how to handle it in such a way that everyone's interests are served as much as possible and as equally as possible.

- Foreign Policy
In the Kingdom of Azraq during the ceremony of the coronation of the Emperor, a protest took hold abroad of the Mud Palace. The local press reports the arrest of several foreign citizens following the unrolling of a banner that condemned the ceremony. Among the arrested demonstrators there would also be citizens of the Grand Duchy of Lars.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has communicated through its press offices that it has been in contact with the Azraq authorities to learn about the conditions of its citizens and information on the charges made against them.

"The current number of citizens of Lars is now a priority. Once identified, we can proceed to provide legal assistance and mediate with local authorities. The embassy of Lars present in Azraq ensured all legal support to its citizens involved in this case." -MFAIC Francesco Greco

[/div] The Ministry of Defense has announced the launch of the "Acque Calme" program that aims to combat the illegal activities along the Long Sea trade routes. The ship that will be part of the operation will be the most modern destroyer unit of the Royal Lars Navy " ". The unit in question is the pride of the MareBlu group, is part of the "Mare Nostrum" naval improvement program, the ship is able to perform multiple roles as well as implementing the most modern technologies available on the national market and not.

Aurelia Rolli, Minister of Defense: "The Grand Duchy is genuinely concerned about the evolution of the aggressiveness of some recent attacks. As shown by the recent incident off the coast of Auraria, our enemy is adapting more complex terrorist strategies for to be a simple pirates. Further investigations must be carried out, but it is certain that we will not underestimate the threat."

-Economy
The government announced the cut in GDP growth estimates in the second quarter of 2019. The main motivation for the downward revision of GDP is due to the ever decreasing number of ships sailing the long sea. It should however be pointed out that the accidents that occurred in the Long Sea did not involve any ship flying the flag of the Grand Duchy. However, this was not enough for international shipowners to calm them down along their Long Sea transport activity.

The recent naval deployment of HMS Etruria is one of the first actions of the new government and could be followed by further action.

Tensions in the Long Sea, The Republic of Auraria prevents entry to all units of the Republic of Pohjanmaa in its territory. The motivation behind the choice of Auraria are the recent serious incidents that were seen to take place in the long sea, which would be the work, according to news coming from auraria, of the navy of the republic of Pohjanmaa.

The Grand Duchy of Lars condemns any illicit activity that took place in the Long Sea, especially if led by government organizations with the potential to destabilize sovereign nations in the area. Lars invites nations to return to the diplomatic tables in order to allow the return of trade in the long sea and to avert any possibility of a bloody war.

Bredo Rail Lars today announced the start of work on a single-track, non-electrified railway in the Federation of the Natal. The agreement was reached between the BRL and the federation with the mediation of the Lars government. The BRL has guaranteed the use of local personnel in order to train a working class able to repile the work and to keep the railway track efficient in the years to come. The railway, which has a rail gauge of 1067 mm, will be built with the main purpose of transporting goods from land to ports in the federation. The particular local climate will provide some interesting engineering challenges to the BRL, which will have to guarantee the massive operation of the route even during the rainy seasons, building the railway and building bridges in order to allow the flow of water. For most of its length, the new railway follows a path parallel to the old line. However, the new railway has entailed numerous route adjustments, which allow it to reach and maintain higher speeds. Given the high intensity of the ultraviolet component of solar rays in the areas traveled, particular attention was paid to the insulation of electrical components exposed to sunlight with the use of insulating laminated glass (which shields over 90% of ultraviolet rays) in all rubber components and electrical cables, to achieve the highest UV protection requirements. The payment of the work will take place in part monetary and partly with the raw materials of which the federation is rich and of which lars has an increasing demand.​

Office of the Foreign Minister
We are both disturbed & suspicious to learn of your package of economic 'aid' to the Communist nation of Crotobaltislavonia. Their nation has not only made hostile overtures towards us recently, but murdered in cold blood the rightful stewards of their land, their royal house.

We respectfully advise your crown & government to seriously reconsider funding Communists who want to totally annihilate our righteous way of life. Regards. Viva Justosia.

We would like to help you, but as an independent editor, we don't see how we can be. We believe you have the wrong address, it can also happen to the most expert governments. However, we are not a government organization, we cannot redirect the mail to the place you wish.
Have a good day.

-Quick general communique-

That is why, as is standard protocol for virtually every communique we have lodged with your government before, this was directed at their channel generale. Which would also obviously be viewable by you, an attention seeking magazine.

Please do not waste our time again in the future. Thank you.

Prime Minister Tusca Larci intervened in the Senate because she was asked to explain the current relations with the neighboring nation of Crotobaltislavonia.

"These are difficult times for the free Republic of Crotobaltislavonia. As Prime Minister, I can understand the difficulties my colleague has in having to handle such a difficult transition as an opening of relations with Lars. The governments that preceded me have managed the situation with frost and distance, limiting themselves to "punishing" Crotobaltislavonia as if it were an unruly student, creating distance between the two nations. My administration has had the courage to follow a different path. We have decided to support them the moment they needed them the most, and we will continue to do so as long as they wish!. To simplify all kinds of interaction between our nations, based on the suggestion of similar initiatives across the border, I decided to establish a new ministry: Ministry for Good Relations between Lars and Crotobaltislavonia."

The Kingdom of Gunnland proposes a multinational conference about how to aid development in Crotobaltislavonia and further integrate the region economically while affirming the sovereignty of each nation. We would like to restart talks that stalled at the end of the Seven Days' War.

"Good evening to all our listeners, sitting in the car or already planning to prepare dinner for loved ones.
You are listening to the LGL 1 radio, for you from the Pisa offices. I am, Matteo Tagliaerba and I am your conductor on the current events that see our small nation involved."


MT: "You have surely read, heard or seen on television that the Serennial government has described the organization of the OSCR as infiltrated by national interests and therefore unable to perform its task in an impartial manner. But how many of us know what exactly does OSCR do? Well, today's guest knows this very well and does it professionally. Welcome Giacomo Alfiere in our studios in Pisa, Giacomo as I told you before, is the director of the National Office of the OSCR of Lars."

GA: "Thanks Matteo, I always follow your radio transmission, especially when I'm abroad for work, it's a constant connection with the Grand Duchy.

To answer your question, OSCR is an organization that currently has four members: Lars, Eiffilland, Retalia and the Kingdom of Occitania, not the protectorate. It is an organism born after the Seven-Day War and promoted by the Grand Duchy with energy, its goal is the pursuit of peace and development, built through political dialogue and in respect of human rights.

Many see us as policemen or judges, but we are mere observers who record the facts and report them to the local authorities so that they persecute criminals in compliance with local laws."

MT: "Now it's clear to me, your work is crucial so that innocent people can recognize their recognized rights.

What can you tell me about the Serenniere government's statements against your work and their behavior during the war."


GA: "I have nothing personal against the Serenniere authorities, I simply have the data on my side and the data speaks of a completely different situation. Today we can affirm without a shadow of a doubt that both sides in the conflict have committed war crimes, some in the indiscriminate use of prohibited weapons against populated centers and civilians themselves, some in using children as soldiers. Not to mention other documented cases.

All these violations were documented through the direct testimonies of the refugees and where it was possible, through the direct presence of our operators. Serenniere, releasing documents on child soldiers did nothing but reconfirm what we already knew, what the courts of the four nations already knew.

What the SRN authorities do not know, however, is that our courts are already pursuing by law, where possible, violations of human rights, something that does not happen in their republic, indeed, they are rewarded with medals for their actions.

MT: "It must be difficult to see one's work not being recognized for propaganda purposes. Now how is the situation in the Kingdom of Occitania?"

GA: "Not one of the best, but there is always room for improvement.
The prosecutions of war criminals are often difficult, owing either to the noble nature of the suspects or to their resistance during the Seven-day war that made them heroes in the eyes of many.



We have the support of the local authorities as the King, but it is not easy, however, our work, we often come into conflict with the local culture which is very different from ours. We have a lot of hope for the new generations that increasingly understand their rights and want them to be recognized.



The tensions however are manifold, but nobody had said that it was a simple job or of short duration."

MT: " Thank you Guilio for your speech, and we wish you all the best for your work. Now I let her go, I know she's very busy and won't steal any more time.

Now, there is one of your favorite spaces dear listeners, music space."

The OCSR cannot don the garb of the neutral independent observer that it seeks when it openly admits that the Protectorate of Occitania was not invited to join the ranks of its members. Furthermore, we are most perturbed that the OCSR is not allowing the Protectorate access to the trials of the said war criminals when in fact most of the conflict took place in territory that belongs to the Protectorate after the conclusion of the Treaty of Camp Hill.

It must be reiterated that the Treaty of Camp Hill guarantees our status as an independent sovereign nation, as recognized by the Governments of Eiffelland, the Kingdom of Occitania, and the then extant Grand Duchy of Retalia. The obstinacy of the Grand Duchy of Lars to offer the said recognition to this Protectorate is unhelpful to the postwar reconciliation efforts.

Furthermore, we question the OCSR for offering such a glowing review of the Occitan King, who is an absolutist despot who is fundamentally inseperable from the actions of the Occitan Militar during the Seven Days War.

The OCSR is a joke and we shall not recognize it unless the hypocrisy and the blatant exclusionism is not rectified.

The Protectorate of Occitania was not invited to join the organization because it is the free choice of the states to join or not, accepting to respect the objectives of the organization. The OCDR is not a police force, we do not replace any state, therefore they are the same states, freely, asking to be part of the organization.

The OCSR is not the Grand Duchy of Lars, so we cannot respond on their own.​
