Justosia
Politics:

• Emperatriz ascends with her signature, gay marriage into law across the empire. Today is historic for a nation that only a year ago was being widely labeled reactionary across many governmental halls in Europe. She proclaimed she did this under protest as Holiness Temporal of the National Justos Episcop Church during the signing ceremony.

• At least 9 nationalist senators overheard openly disparaging Emperatriz's new moderate foreign policy/military direction in the halls during this morning's session.

Justosia
Foreign Policy:

• Hosting Foreign Minister Montez at the Imperial Palace today, Emperatriz Annabella I ascended the minister's firery rebuke of Polesia when it attacked Johnston Isle last night. She went on to say: "These backwards, radical left nations. They're projecting like hissing, fetal cats in an alley. They're scared. They should be. The civilized, real democratic world is holding them to account."

Justosia
Politics:

• Nationalist Senate hard liners deeply uneasy about palace halving size of Imperial Army. Defence Minister maintains such a large force isn't logical for an island power.

Justosia
Economy:

• Tyskonian Oil Company (TOC) buys up last discovered & mapped petrol shelf off east coast. Economy booming off of thousands of new jobs from overseas companies building refinement factories on the imperial mainland.

Empire:

• 21 degrees C across the mainland. Partly Cloudy.

• 22 degeees C in Victoria Island. Sunny.

• 15 degrees C today in Vanguardia. Partly cloudy. 30% chance of showers.

Red With Fear
​

By Philip Arrayo

​

There is an expression. "It's like talking to a brick wall." In today's case my friends, that wall is bright red, & fraught with irrational, debunked economic mere theories that constantly fail when put into practice. This aptly explains Justosia, & the rest of the free & civilised world trying to reason & negotiate with these scared reds.

Reason simply isn't a factor when an impoverished, 3rd rate wannabe power like Calidia, wrongly maligns the empire as undemocratic. When Justosia has been a Constitutional Monarchy, with 3 functioning & separate checked branches of government since 1850. We are prosperous, they are not. We have expanded, they can't. We have undergone a wondrous transformation, they can't or won't. When a rogue regime starts believing their own propaganda, like these reds apparently have, they're simply no longer to be taken seriously. Or like the related projection coming from like oppressive, illegitimate, puppet states like Polesia & The 'People's' 'Republic' of Bourgogne. Their peoples live in almost total darkness. Figurative & even in some cases, literal. What would happen if they got a true glimpse into the real Europe? Where individualism, untapped potential, & general freedom reign? If they knew that beyond the red veil they could become rich? Virtually anything they wanted?

This partly explains the brutal repression & unhinged propaganda of these regimes. If that veil is lifted even for a split second, it's all over for them. This explains their attempts to malign true free & prosperous states like Justosia, the ODS states, & to a lesser extent the DDI states. They however are for another piece. They're trying to brainwash their poor peoples whenever, wherever, however they can. It'll never be enough. Their house of cards is destined to fall.

Mass, systematic oppression never wins the day, or history. The time will soon come when these purveyors of poverty, these masters of misinformation, & general lunatics will finally see this, right before their peoples finally have their due.

Justosia
Politics
Palace:

• The Emperatriz announces she has directed the Interior Ministry's Environment Department to begin investing in solar power sub grids in all 8 major cities starting with Avalon. The capital by far has the most pollution issues due to its highest population. IO (Imperial Order) comes after senate recently passed a bill expanding the nuclear power grid. Combined with recent petrol deals, Justosia emerges a relative energy power.

Justosia
Interior:

• The national mainland freeways system, dubbed the La Gentle
  Autopistas (The People's Freeways) is officially completed. First motorists expected on in roughly a week after Interior Ministry Safety Inspectors finish their rounds.

• Bishop of Barceltia, the empire's second largest city, dubs the Emperatriz "El Angel de Cambio" (The Angel of Change). Every sovereign receives their own nickname via societal lexicon eventually. Her predecessor's was The Lightning Monarch.

Justosia
Foreign Policy:

• Foreign Minister Montez reiterates that the far left nations of the Rurikgard Pact, many of which lack imperial recognition, are acting "Out of a spite driven mostly by fear. The light of the free and civilized world shines upon their repression."

Justosia
Politics:

• Rightist divisions in the capital spill over. It has been leaked that 6 Senators are planning to leave the ruling Nationalist Right Bloc Party & join the further right Justos Millennium Party. Anymore bleeding could force the NRB into a coalition or worse, minority government. The reason seems to be the centrist course of the Emperatriz.

• Senate's 2 Communist Senators join the Socialist Party. Effectively shutting the former down.

• Emperatriz orders flags of all government buildings to half staff for 3 days for late Johnston Isle King Trusty.

Justosia
Politics:

• Bipartisan deal raising taxes on the empire's top 10% of earners & like corporations passes the Imperial Senate 54-50. Majority of Nationalist Senators voted against but coalition of moderates across all 3 parties occupying the chamber won the day. It is not yet known what exactly the main opposition Social Democrat Party conceded to win this legislative priority victory. Crown Government is taking in revenue at an unprecedented rate.

• Emperatriz praises solar power sub power grids going up in all 8 major cities.

Foundation Against High Taxes - Statement

Justosia seeks to fleece it's highest earners for some yet unannounced project. The top earners are your job creators. Does the Crown Government really need to fill its greedy coffers at unprecedented rates on the backs of its hardest working citizens? The Foundation Against High Taxes shall be working within Justosia to create a grassroots movement against this so called bipartisan deal!

Mortimer Goldbaum,
Foundation President.

Unlike your ignorant organization, something truly meaningful actually, finally exists in Justosia for the first time since 1969, a palace & other side of the aisle we can work with sometimes. To create lasting change for our underprivileged citizens by making sure the rich pay their fair share. My God have mercy upon your frigid soul.

Her more centrist approach seems to be paying dividends.

Justosia
Environment:

• In addition to solar sub power grids going up in all major cities, the Interior Ministry's Environment Department has just enacted a new, stricter set of cleanliness, garbage, & pollution standards for every metropolis.

Empire:

• 18 degrees C in the mainland today. Cloudy. 40% chance of showers.

It is the duty of a government to spend its tax money carefully and efficiently, and indeed to not overtax the population. We have full confidence in the Justosian government regarding a sound decision on the destination of the tax money. Eiffelland and Retalia have been using the social market economy system since the 1950s. That system may not have turned us into the richest countries of Europe, but did turn Eiffelland and Retalia into prosperous and stable countries, because everybody has enough to eat and a sound house or apartment to live in, and education, heatlhcare, public works and infrastructure, the police and other public tasks have been set up adequately. We are happy to see that Justosia decided to adopt this system as well.

Justosia
Foreign Policy:

• The Organisation of Democratic States, currently under international fire for inviting what some are calling a "war criminal" to the capital of a leading member state, has elected not to induct Justosia as a full member. Rationale for what an unnamed government source is calling "A betrayal that totally vindicates the foreign policy of the last crown" was staunchly rebutted by now former ODS Ambassador Enrico Sauzo. Who is currently en route back to Avalon.

• Palace mum on development so far.

Justosia
Politics:

• His Excellency Prime Minister Jean Blount, the empire's first mixed ethnicity PM, currently in the middle of his 3rd term, has just announced that he will not seek reelection. A potential successor remains at large in his Nationalist Right Bloc Party.

• Imperial Senate Speaker Marco Reyes (NRB-AVALON), condemns ODS betrayal. Announces he will soon put forth to the floor a vote for the creation of a Fourth Fleet of the Imperial Navy. "Europe is split between two factions now. It's undeniable. As divisions deepen, and 'allies' try to play us, Justosia must make sure its defences remain strident. In case the conflict that we see on the horizon indeed comes to pass. Justosia tried to placate Europe. Now we must take subsequent measures. We will commission a national poll to rate public opinion before debate begins."

• #PrimeMinisterSauzo is currently the top trending hash tag on Justosian Twatter.

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS - STATEMENT

The Justosian people should not feel threatened by the existence of the DDI, no threatening overtures have been made to your country and your people. We feel that this further military expansion is unnecessary to the security of the Justosia and would place an undue burden upon them. Will you not come to the table for discussion on this topic? We extend to your leaders an open invitation to Charleroi to discuss with Sylvania matters of non-aggression and perhaps regional cooperation. These talks may lead to further talks among the DDI as a whole, for now the extension of this invitation is on our own accord.
