Havok! Comics appreciates the time you took to write us with reviews, and the interest you have placed in our comics. We put work in studying the cultures of any settings we place our comics in, and in making heroes which are both interesting and likely to be enjoyed by the populace of the countries they are released in. While we make no official remarks about our belief if Jesus Christ did indeed wield Neibswialt, we can definitely appreciate a Magic sword, such as our own culture's Fragarach and Caladbolg.

We hope you will keep reading, and that we can keep entertaining you, and hope as well that you keep up the good fight against religious extreme-ism such as the Miroslavlian "Communist" nation.

Good Health and Good Fortune,

Transcripts from today's radio broadcast.

The past few months have been both a busy time and a relaxing one here in Tyrculir, with families and youth enjoying times at the beaches throughout the nation, in rivers, even in a few public swimming pools in the metropolitan areas. While enjoying the cool touch of water to battle against the heat of summer is one of the only things true across the nation this summer- next to of course delicious delicious lemonade; there's been another thing going on as well.

The thing is something which is more unknown outside of the confines of townhalls and our nation itself, but throughout this year, a young man known as Wade MacWard has been introducing himself to the clanns of the country and listening to their problems. Why has he done this? Because as his clann and an alliance of nearly four fifths of the representatives within the Hall of Voices are showing clearly? It's time for change in Tyrculir. Throughout summer, voting booths have been set up to allow each and every citizen of Tyrculir a chance to vote on the matters of full federalization, on restoring the High Kingdom, and indeed on which of the MacWards would best be suited for that weighty position if the High Kingdom was restored, and indeed the meritocracy.

In an effort of transparency, the election officials have included representatives from Auraria, the Malheur Republic, Alexandras, Ivernia, Potenza, Franken, Arendaal, and Cerulunia, or for our international listeners, 'Swiezciema'. The election results haven't been counted yet, but today the tiny settlement of Vesper, Aballach, Tyrculir, is getting its chance to vote, and following the return of those votes to the central voting agency in CarrickAodh, the international team will begin assisting in the counting, and we'll find out exactly what happens.

In other news, three new airports, and two new seaports have opened up throughout the country, as work continues on the CarrickAodh foundation's infrastructure programs, wherein CarrickAodh and the MacCuAodha tribe attempts to create jobs in isolated regions, as well as work on the infastructure throughout. In three of the reported seven deep sea port capable villages the Foundation has identified, work has begun on building proper port facilities to allow the nation a more variable infrastructure.

This has been the Regional and AnLyr International News, I'm your host, Douglas Carrick, and I'd like to remind you to drink Concordia brand canned Lemonade, all the wholesome taste of lemonade with the wholesome knowledge that half of the proceeds from its sale go to the White Triskele and the Front du Salut organization, to benefit needy in Montelimar.

To election authorities in Tyrculir,

The Continental Republic wishes to voice its displeasure with the authorities in Tyrculir, we in Sylvania have always thought that our relations with your people were on an amiable level however this has been put into question. While we congratulate your move toward federalization we must cast our doubts on the legitimacy of this move as while many other nations including our southern neighbor, Malheur, were invited to oversee the transparency of Tyrculiric elections, the Continental Republic was not. Even more surprising is the decision to invite blatantly fascist entities onto the Occidental Continent. This insult will not be taken lightly in Charleroi. Sylvania does not wish for tension between Occidental neighbors to ruin what we have all created here, further insult will not be tolerated.

Tyculir,
To all whom it may concern,

Democratic tradition is the greatest value here in Zulia-Santander (Occidentia). Despite being a young nation, the Aurarian Republic has had a democratic tradition dating back to the foundation of the colony of Nueva Fransisca. To be invited to provide aid in any way we can to grow democracy across the continent is greatly appreciated by the State, a sign of good will we will not soon forget.

We are confident that the trained, professional task group that Auraria will send to Tyrculir will work well with local and international authorities to ensure that the process is smooth, accurate, and fair. ​

An Open letter from the Desk of the head of the Election Authority of Tyrculir to Director Viklund of Sylvania.

The volunteers and viewers throughout the nation come from a number of nations which expressed interest in the matter, and which the people of Tyrculir welcomed. It was as much to increase ties and better them than anything else, that we even bothered with inviting observers to our nation's important domestic matters, which are ultimately domestic. When the people of several provinces, clannholds, and townships were interviewed on the matter of Sylvanian officials conducting any of the accuracy investigations, thoughts were placed fully on the fact that Sylvania would likely skew it, if recent events and threats to other Occidentian nations (The Danish Princely state of the Faroes, chiefly) are to be eyed.

Further, we at the Election Authority wanted no cause for trouble during the voting, or outside of it- and given the increased aggression of our longtime friend and neighbor, your homeland, Sylvania, we felt it would cause more trouble than it did good. We should remind any party within Sylvania who sees reason to get angry at this that a domestic matter is not concern for one's neighbors unless you invite them to be concerned about it-- and increased hostility and indeed even actions perceived as world policing have brought enough sour attitudes in enough local areas within Tyrculir that for the safety of Sylvania's citizenry, we would have never even invited them even if the majority of voices in the Hall of Voices, as well as the various municipal governments, had not rejected the very idea.

Any offense found can only be imagined in this situation, however.

From the Desk of the Current Tiarna of the MacCuAodha Clann on behalf of the AnLyric People, to the Volunteers, the observers from foreign nations, and the foreign nations themselves.

Transparency is the foundation of any successful modern government which values Liberty. Tyrculir has valued Liberty for centuries, and after the call from the Hall of Voices to bring about the elections and find out exactly how the people think of the decentralization of our nation after two centuries living under it, we can only hope that this can be clear. For the people to understand their liberty and that the nation has potential beyond cheating themselves, a nation must be transparent and honest. For neighbors and new acquaintances, the same could be said over anything, even a dispute over who's hedge ends and who's hedge begins, where.

When we invited you to Tyrculir, it was to build this transparency, and to show the world we have nothing to hide, and unlike some despotic nations across our globe, Tyrculir never will. For too long, we have sat upon our lands and viewed the world and its peoples as far away and only marginally important of the domestic scale. It's time that changed, and with your help I hope it does.


Good Health, and Good Fortune to you.

To Chief Administrator Douglas O'Kell

Your words are nothing more than untruths and ignorance wrapped in a thin veil of courtesy, it is clear to us that any government that arises from this federalization will have a negative bias toward the Continental Republic that in our opinion is unfounded. In the case of the Danish Faroes, we were simply defending ourselves from an attack upon our sovereignty, if you would perhaps remember history rather than attempt to rewrite it you would understand that any aggression toward this "Princely State" was in response to the severe aggression coming from Danmark. The very notion that I would have to attempt and explain this to you is an unwelcome surprise. The very notion that our people may not be welcomed or may even be put in an unsafe position by your people is worrying to say the least, especially when your own people have been welcome in the Homeland for so very long.

You say we are attempting to police the world? Rather we are attempting to prevent very real threats to us from coming to fruition. You say that we would skew or perhaps purposely attempt to skew the election results, yet you let much more aggressive states such as the Mezhist Union and Potenza in to your own home as election advisers. Might I remind you that the Mezhist Union has a long history of intervention and that Potenza recently illegal invaded Cantignia, killed an innocent bishop's family and then arrested that very bishop for his beliefs. There is much reason to be angry and dismayed by this action, your actions are very purposeful in their nature and contrary to your belief it is seen very clearly. We as a nation value the principles of non-aggression, yet we are allowed, under these very principles to be aggressive in our DEFENSE and make no mistake our aggression is just that, nothing more than an attempt to defend our home. Your attitude suggests that we should instead lie down and take whatever it is that nations much stronger than we are give to us, such an attitude is not acceptable, we would not have the same expectations of Tyrculir.

The Continental Congress and President Rygaard are extremely disappointed in this sudden heel turn to by Tyrculiric government. As I have stated previously in this communication, your actions here are very deliberate in their nature. The Primary example being when election officials from Sylvania are barred from this momentous occasion in your history due to our 'aggression' when nations that have committed grievous war crimes are not. Your attempt to explain has only proved that our disappointment is warranted. This will not be forgotten and will factor majorly in any further diplomatic communications and proceedings between our two nations.

An Open letter from the Desk of the head of the Election Authority of Tyrculir to Director Viklund of Sylvania.

We continuously contend that any offense taken by Sylvania in this matter is one which should not be taken as it is imagined; a presumption and a grossly erroneous one
at that. Sylvania, a fully Federalized nation, may not realize the difference between the national government and the local governments, or the national psyche and the local psyche, but in the case of Tyrculir, it is still very strongly a matter which is to be contended with; thus the elections themselves.

Those peoples within Tyrculir who feel outraged or distraught at Sylvania are within their rights of view when seeing it, as no national government which values freedom could possibly simply slap their people down for having feelings that in those people's minds, are perfectly logical. When it comes down to the anger over the conflict in the Faroes, that is entirely logical. Can the Sylvanian government say with an honest expression for even a moment that the people of Tyrculir would not have suffered the brunt of such a conflict? Any naval war which Sylvania had with the Danmarker Imperium would have been disastrous for our local economy, as the Straits would be a target for which both the Danmarker Imperial Navy and Sylvania's own navy would have fought for; because the majority of Sylvania's projection power outside the deepest of summer would have been cut off if they could simply keep you within the straits.

An action which would have caused immense property damage for the CuLyric peoples, commercial downturn, and possibly civilian causalities. All without a single message from the Sylvanian government towards their neighbors about the prospects of war, and to listen to our concerns on the matter; or to place an Occidentian-Wide coalition forward on the matter of the Faroes. A Sylvanian 'freed' Faroes would have been no different from the imperial bluster of the Danmarkers, except it would be less suspect to blockade. Given these factors, and the fact that the entire Danmark-Sylvania conflict ignored our nation in any discussions, the people were understandably inflamed over past insults and injuries to national pride inflicted by the Sylvanian government, and this was the root of the anti-Sylvanian settlement which made us not invite officials from Sylvania to oversee elections.

These sentiments themselves are quoted largely from an editorial published in the Stormmaigh Chronicle, which has been reposted in hundreds of papers within Tyrculir.

RAIN Broadcast, October 26th, 2013

R.A.I.N.
Regional [and] AnLyr International News​

Transcripts from today's radio broadcast.

Following a recent vote in the Hall of Voices, the first formal and national constitution has been ratified. While the idea for such a constitution outlying the rights of the average AnLyric have long been discussed and the Great Bills of 1714 clearly outlined a basis of government and the fact that all clanns should have a say in it, thus forming the first formalized Hall of Voices; controversy still brewsd within the recent passing. While people have been known to argue even of what to paint a town's fences, there are a number of highlights which are causing various groups in Tyrculir, mostly backed by specific clanns, have brought up issue with:

● Equal rights for all ethnicities within Warre & The Tyrculir(s) have been henceforth guaranteed, so long as said ethnic group does not promote a separatist movement, the ethnicity strives to speak AnLyric in at least co-equal status with their native tongue, and they do not deny access to their lands to fellow AnLyric citizens and subjects without due cause. Several clanns in Aballach have brought issue largely based on, (at least according to speculation) the fact they would lose majority control over the townships they inhabit if the Aballach Reserve Wildlings are finally entitled equal rights.

● All lands within Tyrculir not claimed, settled, and in proper use for national industry, spiritual investment, or otherwise, revert to the ownership of the National Government, and a formalized national park & heritage service is to be created, which will make parks in portions of these lands, but will also make museums and parks in clann based lands at the requests of clanns who wish to have their landmarks recognized as important to the AnLyric People's heritage. Additionally, a percentage of this land will formally be used for federal governmental installations, especially defensive military installations.

● The government announced formally a national standing army to work in concert with the Fragarachai. All clann militias have henceforth been drafted into national service with individuals being drafted based on their skills and only the most recognized and important militia units left largely intact as they join the armed forces in proper. As it currently stands, no militia forces member who wishes to refuse to join the national armed forces will be required to, though their status as current militia member will be revoked and their ability to carry arms beyond the caliber of a hunting rifle will be truncated. Protests amongst several clanns in Abalach over this matter rung clear.

Additionally, the armed forces are to be entirely volunteer based unless in times of great need, wherein the High King may bring up the issue to the Hall of Voices, and they will vote on conscription for a period of time defined at that moment.

● Formalized, national government backed and operated schools will be opened alongside the school systems currently run by clanns. These schools will be from the kindergarden to university level in intensity and requirements, and will operate year round with shifts of teachers and students attending it full time for one half of the year, and half-time for one quarter of the year, finally followed by quarter-time study based largely on personal interests run through the local library system or mailed in. While time is less used for the one shift of students, the other shift will activate with the same instances but reversed. All schools will recognize formal holidays and in areas prone to bad weather radio based school programming will be used to help alleviate lost time on snowed-out-days or other bad-weather days. Teachers employed by the national system will be national government employees, and affected all rights and privileges gained thereby.

● Eradication of the one-man-one vote method of allocating the actual voting power of the House of Voices speakers. In the new method, three classes of voting would be recognized.

Those of Subjects, whom are not formalized AnLyric citizens; which would include tourists, ex-patriates from other countries who have yet to file for citizenship, refugees, immigrant workers, children under the age of 17, and citizens with dual-citizenship from a country which Tyrculir does not recognize dual-citizenship for. While granted all equal rights afforded to anyone else, they do not have the right to vote nationally and the representatives for the districts they live in gain no weight from their being there; but have the right to vote in local elections, ordinances, and referendums.

Those of Citizens, who do not fit any of the above criteria, who may vote in local elections and run for local office, additionally they may vote for their chosen representative to the Hall of Voices, be it through decision to support someone from their local district or someone with no actual relation to them. A citizen's vote counts as one vote for any weight of votes by the Hall of Voices Speaker.

Those of Merited Citizens, who have done the nation a national service and thus participated in the nation, rather than simply been born into it. Any subject or Citizen of Tyrculir who serves at least 10 years in one of the following important fields as employed by the national government: Teaching, Police, Emergency Services, Healthcare Services, National Engineering, Infrastructure Corps, Military, exceptional acts of heroism, or Fragarachai Defense Forces; are awarded a vote which has extra weight. Any person they choose to represent them in the Hall of Voices, (as is true of citizens, there are no run-off votes or competition within a district, the number of representatives in the Hall of Voices and their respective power are fully based on the number of votes cast to make them a representative) may represent them, and has a weight of three votes compared to the one vote of a normal citizen.

● The establishment of the Infrastructure Corps, which will offer any volunteer, including immigrants, the homeless, and others, for the important business of building, repairing, and upgrading the infrastructure of Tyrculir et al.

● A formalized veto power for the High King on any bill or appropriation that the Hall of Voices attempts to make which he disagrees with.

● The formalized voting of a Tanist and secondary Tanist from the MacCuAodh tribe for the position of the next High King.

● The formalization of the Hall of Voice's consent being required to make any actions of war which are not defensive (and within Tyrculir's territory thereby described as defensive) with the national armed forces, excluding the Fragarachai.

● The formalization of the ideal that the Fragarachai will continue their status as contracted national government employees in defense, but that their actions may be dictated by the High King without the consent of the Hall of Voices.

● A system of revamping the Brehon District Court system, where the Hall of Voices or the High King may overrule local rulings by the Brehon District Court, given they do not receive a formal writ of protest from the High Brehons (who are elected by the Hall of Voices and the High King to represent one of the nine regions of Tyrculir) to stop them from interfering on the matter. If the High Brehons to send a writ of Protest, it may be overturned by the decision of the High King alonside the Hall of Voices.

● Formal recognitization of Ch'takalak as 'a language of AnLyr' and its use in national structures and it's required use for those who request it in any formal documents.


In other news, the Hall of Voices recently announced it's intent to donate some 1Million ₡ to the White Triskele to back humanitarian relief efforts in Bantyr, Yujin, Aresura, Cantignia, Boganhem, Angortir, and other trouble spots in the world. Following the announcement, a number of AnLyric companies of all stripes decided to make a pledge to donate 1 Cruachcuir for every Cruachcuir the National Government or people throughout Europe chose to donate during the months of October and November.

The High Kingdom of Ivernia congratulates the adoption of a new national constitution for the High Kingdoms of Warre & Tyrculir. We in Ivernia celebrate this new age of democracy and diplomacy in the Freelands and are also impressed with the fair and unbiased manner in which this constitution has come about. The Western High Kingdom should be proud of the modest steps of nationalisation but also the due respect shown to the pre-existing clann based system.

Ivernia hopes to organise a meeting in the future between the diplomats of the Ivernish embassy and the diplomats of Warre & Tyrculir as well as any clan heads who would wish to join where we could discuss this new event, and the future it would mean for our High Kingdoms. This could also be a good change to strengthen ties between our two peoples who are of the most ancient of allies.

Once again the High Kingdom of the Old World congratulates this great day in Warre & Tyrculir.

A letter dictated in the Hall of Voices, on behalf of the government of the High Kingdom of Warre & the Tyrculir, by the newly appointed ambassador to the Ivernish High Kingdom

The High Kindom of Warre and Tyrculir appreciates the compliments of our cousins in the East. Without the help of the Ivernish High Kingdom, of Franken, of Auraria, the Swordlands, and those others who sent volunteers to help account the votes, we would never have been able to make the steps. Ivernia has long called our lands by the Poetic term, "Saorlainndeichcean", the Free Lands, and it has been apart of our psyche to show other nations exactly what it is to be free since perhaps as long as we have existed. Truly free, without worries of political parties or external threats, from men with big sticks or boys with poisoned daggers of spite.

The world continues to bear threats to life, liberty, and happiness for the common man-- but more than that the possibility of even knowing what they're missing for the children of the world. As tempers rise in Rosantyr and Coustyr, in Orgcatyr and all the lands of the east, we cannot help but be concerned. The heat from the sun is rising all the more fiercely every day and we cannot be sure how long cool heads will exist, none the less prevail.

For these reasons and many more, the High Kingdom in Boreas must accept the invitation of its most ancient of ally, and the clanns have largely agreed to send a representative as well. However, there has been a strong suggestion to include the United Kingdom of Isaeltyr, Lartyr, & Angortir in our discussions.

*Rídan, as affirmed by the constitution of 1953, are elected officials from a pool of candidates from the clanns available in a district, [no Rí (King) or Ard Rí (High King), may be a candidate in such a pool] which serve as something in between that of a mayor, a governor, and a senator in the more republican stances. Their title itself means 'Little King' or 'Little Chief' (Aka: Chieftain) within AnLyric Gaelic, and in monarchies outside of Tyrculir would be expected to get the same respect one would give a Duke (for important Districts' Rídan at least) to that of a moderate Count. The title itself was once translated from AnLyric texts as 'Prince', and indeed most Tanists (the actual title for an heir to a royal seat) have held the title of Rídan in some area as a matter of practice in governance and to help their clann, the title in ancient context best is translated as 'petty king'.

Transcripts from today's radio broadcast.

Hello and welcome to the Sunday, Noon Edition, of RAIN, the Regional and AnLyr International News. Today on the beginning of the ticker, we have the announcement that the Stormmaigh Orchestra has recently stated an international tour with plans to include music which was composed for the historic influenced motion picture, “The Hound and the Eagle”. One quarter of proceeds are promised to the Music for Munchkins charity fund, which aims to provide musical instruments and schooling for needy children, with another quarter of proceeds aimed to be donated to the White Triskele.

For the first sunday in nearly two months, churches in Angortir of all denominations should be having services without threat of violence. The Knights of Anchorage having formalized a ceasefire for at least two weeks with the Scions of Caorachstyr, with sundays officially banned from any attacks henceforth according to their agreement. The King of Isealtyr, Lartyr, and Angortir has not mobilized troops from Isealtyr and Lartyr to enforce a peaceful disarmament of the aforementioned paramilitary groups, but citing the national risk they pose he has heavily emphasized threats of hiring the Fragarachai for security in the region and using them to disarm the paramilitary groups, calling both groups “Naught more than terrorists trying to burn down the homes and fields of the peasants of their opponents.”

Fragarach Motors has opened two new factories in Isealtyr, Lartyr, and Angortir; as well as announced a second factory to be opened in Rygard. Company spokesmen have said these factories will largely focus on the manufacture of the newly patented, tested, and developed 'Snowcycle' personal vehicles, as well as Truck manufacture, rather than continual importing of Trucks into Isealtyr, Lartyr, and Angortir. Company spokesmen spoke hopefully of using the factories as export points to sell the snowcycles and trucks in Ostveg, The Fennian Union, Fey, Tavastia, Arendaal, Suionia, and potentially even Bantyr and Saamiland.

The White Triskele has announced its intent to accept volunteers from Ivernia, Cantignia, Franken, Ostveg, Potenza, Eiffelland, Nichtstein, Beatancus and potentially as far afield as the Judaic Kingdom of Shiloh or the nation of 'Tyrrhenia'; for efforts of support in Bantyr, in Yujin, in Angortir, and potentially even further afield. Sylvanian nationals are already allowed to volunteer for the White Triskele if they wish to. When asked by one of the nationalistally inclined visitors of the announcement, one of the wild haired, wild bearded, members of the 'Sons of AnLyr' Motorcycle Club, “Why focus on anywhere that isn't Celtic? We grandsons of Old AnLyr shouldn't be worrying about helping anyone else in the world, only our cousins, our brothers, our sisters.” The White Triskele representative responded with a cryptic statement of counter-nationalism, claiming “It is our duty to help all those less fortunate, not so lucky to be born in the Freelands, who may need help- and all those in the Freelands who were not born into lucky situations, either. For a Freeman does not gain his measure from shouting his freedom, but what he does with it.”

Havok! Comics is reportedly preparing for talks with a Fennian or Cerulunian motion picture company for collaborative project creating of the widely popular 'Colonel Fennia!' Comics series, especially after the popularity and success of the low-budgeted, artistically inclined “Crimson Torch!” movie.

Rabid conflict continues in the Provinces known as 'Monkencia' in the islands south of the nation known as Sikandra.

The Port Arles International Airport recently had it's groundbreaking, which might bring more flights from Tyrculir to the airport than simply from CarrickAodh International Airport's flights.

Fennian Grand Admiral Aminoff advises his government for military build up to deal with the 'threat' of the Tri-Partite Pact. Protests in Lartyr, Angortir, and Isealtyr caused the need for use of water canons over the matter.

A storm recently passed over central Ivernia, and caused Thousands of Ór in damage. Donation funds for the needy have begun in small circles throughout Tyrculir over the matter, according to some reports.



This has been the Regional and AnLyr International News, I'm your host, Douglas Carrick, and I'd like to remind you to drink Concordia brand canned Lemonade, all the wholesome taste of lemonade with the wholesome knowledge that half of the proceeds from its sale go to the White Triskele and the Front du Salut organization, to benefit needy in Cantignia and Bantyr.

Editorial: The March of Occidentia​

Hello and Well Met, my friends, cousins, and neighbors! I'm proud that my previous rendition of this editorial, published in the Stormmaigh Chronicler was deemed so well written and ended up being so well talked about that the CarrickAodh Light-Tower asked me to rewrite it and allow them to publish the further thought out version of the statement. Originally, it was written during the election and the hubbub going on about the fact the election authority never extended the invitation to Sylvanian nationals to participate in the voting authority's attempt at transparency; but things have changed for the better and for the worse in our great continent- and in the world et al since then.

Occidentia-Boreas is a continent which definitely doesn't fit the build of the rest of our world. Ancient dynasties that trace their lineages beyond antiquity don't hold sway, and even revolutions three centuries past are not which rule. Occidentia-Boreas was a land of refuge for many and our cultures sprung up from that as much as any seed of culture sent swaying across the Great Sea on the twin winds of hope & desperation. Even with the first peoples to settle within Occidentia-Boreas, there were actual records kept among those who actually thought to become empires; but among both the first peoples and the second or later peoples- they never forgot the requirement of nations to be concerned for, and care for, their peoples. It is this which sets apart the Occidential-Boreasic attitude of nations from those of Germania, Skandia and Tiburia, so often referred by the term 'Ancien Occidentia'; and while there are exceptions in that region- we cannot afford for this to be an exception in Occidentia-Boreas.

The Occidential-Boreasic peoples must be on guard within their domestic borders and those outside who would demand people outside a nation's borders to simply bow to their own. It is our duty as a continental community, even if we do not always view our neighbors as friendly as we ideally should- we have to remember this. The peoples of Occidentia-Boreas and indeed the world as a whole, deserve to govern themselves and to be happy. This both refers to the idea of the Faroes in the Danish So-Called Imperium and the ideas that some have towards it, enforcing their own will even if the Faroes enjoy their position as Danmarkers; but beyond that it comes to the Aresuran and Monkecian peoples. For decades we have sat with our hands in our pockets as families fought each other, or the metaphorical man of those houses beat the women and children. We cannot consider ourselves a community if we allow such travesties to continue and we could hardly consider ourselves civilized peoples. What makes we the free people of Occidentia-Boreas have the right to be heard by the governments accountable for us when we would deny said right to others?

Dear Daire MacStadic,


I cannot say enough how heartily I endorse the most rousing dictum contained in your Editorial: The March of Occidentia. These are simple truths that so few of us, so blessed by the Almighty Himself to be born into the bounty of Occidentia-Boreas take the time to pause and appreciate. Freedom - with the rearing to teach each of us to cherish and nurture it is more precious than water, and one of the things in this world that the Savior understands raising a hand in defense of, or so goes the common Cussian wisdom.

It is a damnable shame beyond shames that not every soul on this Sacred Soil can enjoy this fact, free from fear that one jumped-up tyrant or another will be beating the door down, for the livestock or women, first and last. It is one of my life's most solemn desires that we, as Christians and Occidentals-of-all-Stripes may one day unite to drive the scourge or tyranny from not only this sweet, Western Land - but also from all those lands from which our most elder forefathers came hence. It is our duty, again I declare now and forever.

As you might imagine, I've found common-cause and enjoyment enough in your work to have purchased it in whatever volume available here, in the middle of the Continent- but beyond that, I've organized the joint-purchase of an additional 4,000 volumes, for distribution around the Continental Republic, Popular-State and those climes further South, so sorely in need of the sentiments contained therein.

Never despair, for there shall always be sons and daughters of Beautancus that shall keep the Popular Motto dear to our hearts: "Decency, Dignity & Fidelity."

Regional [and] AnLyr International News​

Transcripts from today's radio broadcast.

Hello, this is the broadcast for Wednesday, November the 6th, Nineteen Fifty Three, and this is a special evening edition of the Regional and AnLyr International News. While Mister Douglas Carrick is here, the voice you're hearing might sound a bit different than you normally would be accustomed to hearing- and that would be because I'm not Mister Carrick. Given the international situation, Mister Carrick has agreed to allow me to co-host today's show so that I can get my words out to the AnLyric people in Occidentia-Boreas and Beyond- but the whole of Occidentia-Boreas and indeed the World if possible.

My name is Wade MacWard, known as High King Wade MacWard, of Warre & Tyrculir, for those who are outside of my nation's territory and listening. While I may not have the dynastic purity of some nations, or the banner of being 'President Citizen' of my nation, I can say clearly I speak for its government and after getting to know the communities of Tyrculir, I believe I know it's people too. So it is with those words, speaking fully as the elected chief executive of my people, that I must speak up.

If calm heads do not prevail, war is coming to the North Thaumantic. Sylvanian Naval Forces, in clear disrespect for any communal sovereignty of Occidentia-Boreas, sailed in the largest battle fleet ever sent forth in one unilateral effort by Occidentian governments, past our waters and on a heading we believe to be aimed at the Faroe Islands.

With the ships reported having departed the Sylvanian Base within Primier, Auraria, we estimate this fleet to be approximately seventy in number, of varied ships, including at least two air craft carriers. Such a fleet would be what was brought forward by two bitter enemies of the Ancient Occident, surely- but it is instead levied against the people of the Faroes Islands.

Not the Danmarker Kingdom, nor the Mezhist Union, this Sylvanian Imperialism is levied against the peoples of the Faroes. Without a chance for the Mezhists to give the Faroes a chance at self-sovereignty, away from the maniac grasp of the Danmarker Kingdom, this Sylvanian action instead aims to force the Sylvanian way of life on a nation which Sylvania has little historical ties with and does not even share a naval border with. This action cannot be viewed as anything but the greedy swipe of an evil cabal hoping to poison the Occidentian-Boreasic Soul, and especially that of dear Rosantir.

As the representative of my government, I call all governments on the Northern Thaumantic, all governments in Occidentia, the Mezhist Union, the Danmarkers, and representatives of the Faroes Islands, to sit at a table and give the Faroes a chance at their own self-determination. Not that of a bully in Gridiron forcing his favored team's jersey on the new kid, but rather a table of equals.

Regardless of the results of these calls, no Sylvanian military ships, mercentile or otherwise will be able to pass to Lyric Waters, nor any Cussian ships which might be used to aid the Sylvanian cause. This is a clear statement, that the northern passage of the Bay of AnLyr- the passage shared between Sylvania and Tyrculir is the only one we will allow to be used in these matters, and any action otherwise will be considered an action of direct war- because twice now we have had to sit in worry at our livelihood, safety, prosperity, and country being drug through the mud by two brawling drunks who call themselves nations.

I apologize for any families who are offended by my harsh words, but words more flowery and in the style of the old west would not be fitting in the matter.

With thanks for your time, and with wishes of god's blessing on all men in the west, this has been Wade MacWard, and I will allow mister Douglas to take over once again.

Should these reports of impending Sylvanian naval movement in the vicinity of the Faroes prove to be correct, they serve as further proof of what has been the stance of the Union government all along: That in this day and age, the government in Charleroi is the single most prominent threat to peace and stability in the Northern Thaumantic.

Sylvania has no intention of breaching waters considered Tyrculiric in any way or form, but know this any inteference of our ships or Cussian ships, both military and civilian in the northern passage to the Thaumantic ocean will be considered an act of war. We understand that Tyrculiric popular opinion sways in the way of thinking that Sylvania is a nation to fear, but we have no hostile intentions toward the people and government of Warre & Tyrculir, any hostile intentions or claims of Sylvanian imperialism are imagined and most assuredly false. What isn't false is the march of the nation of Warre & Tyrculir toward the ideals of Fascism and Mezhism. Know that any action levied toward the Faroes is an attempt to help the people of the Faroes throw off the yoke of a nation that would whore out its resources and land to the corporations and a nation that would sell their land and homes like a pimp would sell a prostitute's nightly services. Step back and reevalute who really is fighting for freedom here, it is not the Mezhists nor the Danes.​

A letter to the Directorate of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Sylvania

Opposing your nation's hawkish attitudes abroad and it's continued exclusion of the entirety of the Occidentian-Boreasic continent and community of nations in affairs which are not singularly its own or those of the Engell-Cantigiaphone, is neither a movement towards Mezhism or Fascism. We are not on the march for war, and if we were we would have surely already taken your nation's alarming actions as threat enough to prepare war. We do not buy your movements towards 'freeing' the Faroese, in any way shape or form; given this continued exclusion and lack of communication with the rest of the region. We cannot and will not recognize your actions as anything but Imperialism thereby, because the Faroese will move from the Danish boot to either the Mezhist boot or the boots collective of the Occidentian brothers born of Engellex and Cantignia, your nation and that of Beautancus.

The Faroese should be left to be independent and to pursue their own destiny, with a guarantee of protection given to them from all Elder states of Occidentia- not the movement which your nation is beginning; which in our estimation will just create another Aresura, or another Monkecia for our grandsons and granddaughters to contend with.
