Federalists seek allies to upset Democratic Socialists
Brian Leslie

The 2019 recall election has brought the Democratic Socialist iron grip over congress into jeopardy as their twenty year slide has left them in possession of the lowest number of seats since they took power in 1974. With ten seats lost to them over angry voter feelings about the Engellpox crisis in Cantignia, the Federalists though thirty eight seats behind are scrambling to negotiate with Sylvania's far right Silver Legion and Night Watchmen to create a voting block majority and perhaps even install a Federalist as President of the Continental Congress.

With the majority that this bloc would create the Federalists will be able to block all Democratic Socialist sponsored bills and make any executive branch appoints impossible without a bipartisan 2/3rds majority. The rumor mill in the Capitol building suggest that the state of Great White's 14th district Congressman Ashley Breckenridge could possibly be considered for the third most important position in Sylvanian government should the three parties come to a compromise. Congressman Breckenridge had this to say about the victory and the rumors:

"Obviously we are all excited about these ten seats we just took control of, I was at the swearing in ceremony this morning and the energy we've all been lacking has finally come back to us. Clearly we still have a lot of work to do, but I can report that the Watchmen and the Silver Legion are keeping open minds about a coalition. Creating that coalition will require some compromise, the Silver Legion are very far to the right of Federalist Party policies and they have some ideas that we find are a little extra constitutional. As for the Watchmen we are much closer in political thought. With their help we can help up end the DemSocs and bring Sylvania back to the liberty aligned, constitutional conservative values that we hold dear.

The election while only taking place in a small part of the country's heartland was watched by excited Sylvanians everywhere and I think that we are seeing the support for constitutional values that we haven't seen since Rygaard was President. Sylvanians want to work, they don't want to have a government that rules over them and keeps them stupid, fat and happy. We are going to show those who haven't gotten it yet the value of standing up for yourself and fighting off this socialistic, parasitical thinking that has infected every facet of our society. Across the country now we have twenty more campaigns for recall, twenty more districts whose voters are sick and tired of the Dem Soc status quo that has only gotten them more taxes, more welfare burdens and more restrictions of their inalienable rights. Those will be hard fought recalls and some might not go through, but we are gonna fight tooth and nail to get the signatures we need.

As for the rumors of the party considering me for Congressional President, all I can say is I'm not actively pursuing it, but should the party feel that I am the best person for the job, then I will be happy to serve my country in that capacity."

Breckenridge also commented that we could see the results of the negotiations with the Federalists, Watchmen and Silver Legion come to a conclusion by Monday or Tuesday.

Breckenridge Elected President of the Continental Congress
Brian Leslie


After several days of negotiations the Federalists have their political alliance with the Silver Legion and the Night Watchmen. No concessions were required from the Federalists to the Night Watchmen and a separate discussion was launched out of the negotiations about merging the slowly dwindling Night Watchmen Party into the Federalist Party as differences between both parties were almost negligible. The Silver Legion was adamant about military spending increases, a more aggressive diplomatic stance, criminalization of marijuana and a return to silver backed money. Despite these demands, the Federalists got away with only promises that they would be seriously looked into as long as the Silver Legion would hold firm to the political alliance until the next congressional election in 2022. Analysts say that the possibility that the Silver Legion might also merge with the Federalists was a great possibility as Silver Legion candidates find themselves increasingly unpopular with younger voters as the years go on as they refuse to adapt. These mergers could see the end of multi party politics in Sylvania as center political stances disappear and the Federalists and Dem Socialists move further right and left respectively.

Though political mergers are conversation for another time, the conversation over whether a Dem Socialist will continue to hold the Office of President of the Continental Congress is over. On Wednesday morning, Congressman Ashley Breckenridge was elected by the three party alliance as President of the Continental Congress. This puts Breckenridge at third for succession and gives control of the Continental Congress to the Federalists and the allied parties. Obstructionism will be the name of the game as the Federalists refuse to support Dem Soc initiatives until Dem Soc representatives and President Jillian Snyder adopt more agreeable center right tones. This could mean the start of shutdown politics when it comes to next year's budget. Already dead in the water is a refugee bill that, had it been passed, would have allowed and fast tracked Loagan asylum requests. Along with the refugee bill is a now dead and widely unpopular immigration bill that would have restructured immigration quotas to allow more non-white immigration and restricted immigration from Gallo-Germanian countries, a bill that could have fundamentally changed the racial makeup of Sylvania as a whole over the next few decades. The three party alliance will announce later on near the end of the week a new plan that they call, "a new vision for Sylvanian liberty."

Youth Wings of Democratic Socialists Hold Days of Rage Rally in Charleroi, rally turns violent.
Lilly Elin

After the loss of the recall elections in the Continental Congress and facing renewed Federalist obstructionism and vigor for reshaping the political landscape of Sylvania, the Youth Wings and Labor wings of the Democratic Socialists have launched a campaign of protest across Sylvania's largest cities. Marching the the streets of Charleroi holding signs with slogans too vulgar to print excoriating Federalist platforms and politicians over 10,000 appeared from what seems to be out of nowhere. At first the protests where peaceful with demonstrations mainly confined to parks and side walks but as night fell the crowd became violent. Police are not sure what sparked the violence as their presence was minimal, however damage to the Hammond District is now numbering in the millions of dollars. Cars were set aflame, a statue of assassinated president Sander Rygaard was torn down and covered in human urine and feces and riot police were attacked when they gathered to repel the rioters. While the violence was mostly confined to the affluent neighborhood, it swelled to a fever pitch after a rioter was trampled to death by a mounted unit of the Charleroi Metropolitan Police Force attempting to protect the Hammond Precinct from rioters. Fortunately the rioters were finally dispersed by 0500 this morning. However organizers, who have remain hidden and are communicating through the internet are threatening to return to another part of the city. CMPF officials have asked the the Governor of Clarion to call in a local army unit to help the overwhelmed officers, however Governor Havelock has stated that he has no power to do so and that the army can only be called by the federal government.


In Other News:

  • President Jillian Snyder denies President of Congress Ashley Breckenridge protection from the Federal Protection Squadron which historically has granted protections to the President of Congress as part of their duties to protect the President and Vice President.
  • Polar Vortex brings temperatures in Norastad and Tiroe City down to -1°F with wind chills of -30°F as it moves south and east towards the coast.

LEFTIST YOUTH OF AURARIA
OFFICE OF THE GENERAL-SECRETARY

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

The Leftist Youth of Auraria, in solidarity with the young wing of the Sylvanian Social Democrats, extends its deepest sympathies to the family of the young protestor who lost his life fighting for the causes he believed in. News of this young individual's passing, long before his time, hits deep at the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of Aurarian Youths who have dedicated a portion of their lives towards building a society that is more equitable and just for all.

The LYA condemns the violence that was shown against the protestors across Sylvania. This message is to every member of the struggle in Sylvania that the LYA stands with you and that, together, we can reshape society to better fit our most sincerely held beliefs.

In Solidarity,

Sebstastián Duque de Estrada
General Secretary

FEDERALIST PARTY OF SYLVANIA
OFFICE OF THE CHAIRWOMAN
Federalist Party HQ, 1500 Southern Avenue
Charleroi, Clarion, C.R.S., 35321-2334
February the Second, 2019

To Sebstastián Duque de Estrada,

The Federalist Party condemns this call for further action in Sylvania. This statement is a reckless and inflammatory call for further violence in our great capital. The Leftist Youth of Auraria would do well to keep quiet rather than fan the flames of political violence that has plagued our nation for far too long. While we feel incredible sorrow at the loss of young life, we must remind the LYA and others who would encourage this behavior that the actions of this young man and his compatriots has caused great injury to the people of Charleroi. We must condemn the destruction of property, the desecration of memorials to our honored dead and the physical violence brought upon our police officers whose only goal was to keep the peace.

We encourage peaceful protest, but when peaceful protest turns into unhinged violent rage, then the protest has become unlawful. Our political process does not condone violence of any kind. The unfortunate youth who died refused to follow a lawful order to disperse, throwing firebombs at mounted units. Over 43 police officers have suffered injuries ranging from minor to major. One officer suffered third degree burns over 70 percent of his body and may perish as a result. The news media refuses to cover the truth of the matter.

The Sylvanian people have tasked us with building a society that they feel will enable them to be as free as possible, to follow our hallowed constitution and return our country to a more traditional way. Peaceful political participation has never been higher after decades of low voter participation. Your foreign meddling is not appreciated, cease and desist. Tend to the problems on your own home soil rather than trying to export some half baked revolution.

Regards,

Katalin "Kay" Faraday
Federalist Party Chairwoman

[/div] SOPHIE MENARD from the Villesen Post || Question to President Snyder

"In the recent outbreak of violence, some have alluded to a foreign hand coaxing the protesters, does your government believe there is any substance to such rumours? And second, what is your official response to Premier Elisabeth Martinique's categorical support of Sylvanian authorities' efforts to restore order in the streets?"

Reply to Sophie Menard of Villesen Post:
The violence in Charleroi is regrettable and city authorities are doing everything they can to protect city residents. We do not believe that there is any foreign influence guiding these protests, the Federalists are attempting to demonize Democratic Socialist Party youth organizations and their supporters. I thank Premier Elisabeth Martinique's call to restore order, thankfully winter storms have forced the protestors to cancel events due to extreme cold and we believe that this will be time enough to cool the heads of people on both sides of this indecent. - President Jillian Snyder

Sylvanian Broadcasting Corporation
Evening News Show: Pulse of the Republic


A sudden burst of intense brass instruments reaching a crescendo transform into an almost playing over scenes of Sylvanian cities and vistas at various times of day and seasons cuts to the set of a news desk, the camera zooms and pans from right to center on the distinguished looking gray haired, bespectacled male news presenter. He turns to face the camera to summarize the nightly news before the main story begins, while the music plays.

Good evening! Tonight's main story: a new and deadly wave of political violence tears through Charleroi as Democratic Socialist Party youth organizations continue their days of rage rally turned riot protesting the sudden political shift in the Continental Congress.

Scenes of burning cars and chanting protesters fills the screen.
"Hey Hey! Ho Ho! Breckenridge has got to go!"

They will not divide us! They will not divide us!

In Tiroe City, fourteen are injured and six killed in deadly gang shooting in the Mazidia Town section of the city.

The screen cuts to a scene of a crying elderly Mazidian woman.
"Dis violence has got to stop, my honey child didn't deserve ta die like dis!"


Twin Echo Police Commissioner Robb Barnes steps down after revelations of widespread corruption.


The video cuts to shots of reporters chasing the disgraced police commission as he leaves a court hearing.

And later on Face the Republic we will speak to Vice President Lars Ellington about the perceived aloofness of President Jillian Snyder whose public appearances continue to decrease as the Democratic Socialists continue to decline in power.

The music subsides as the presenter reappears on the screen front and center.

Hello and welcome, I'm Bryan Doyle and now for tonight's main story. Led by the still unidentified leaders of the Youth League of Democratic Socialists, young men and women have renewed the violence after the polar vortex dropped temperatures across the country by almost thirty degrees, however today temperatures went from frigid to a mild cold and with the change, a new surge in violence.

A picture of a young Charleroi police officer clad in a dark blue police dress uniform and matching peak cap appears on screen in the right hand corner as the camera zooms closer to the presenter's face.

Overnight Police Sergeant Randall Cormier died as a result of complications during surgery. Sergeant Cobb suffered burns to almost seventy five percent of his body after being attacked and singled out by rioters during the riot that occurred last Friday.

The picture fades away leaving only the presenter.

With the death toll now at two this afternoon forty rioters were hospitalized after clashes with police. CMPF units suffered injuries to ten officers ranging from major to minor. Despite the injuries, the riot shows now signs of stopping as now pro-Federalist counter protesters have now staged a peaceful protest near the Capitol building. With news of the pro-Federalists counter protesters, participants in the Days of Rage protest who have not engaged in the violence found themselves at the Capitol protesting. As protester and counter-protester screamed at each other, separated by a thin line of riot shield wielding police, the demonstrations show no sign of deescalating anytime soon.

Symbols from other leftists organizations on the international stage appear on screen the fade away in succession.

Internationally the riots of enjoyed support from similar leftist organizations in Auraria and Siyang. Calls to deescalate and bring the rioters of justice have also come in from Premier Elisabeth Martinique of Serenierre and the League of Civic Youth in Natalia.

Suddenly the screen cuts to a look at a crowd holding pro-Federalist signs standing in front of a podium set on the steps leading to the Continental Congress, at the bottom of the screen a ticker scrolls by and at the left a red LIVE symbol alternates with the SBC logo.

And this just in we have recieved word that President of Congress Ashley Breckenridge will speak before crowd of supporters at the Capitol building. We can see him approaching the podium now.

A tall man with light brown hair wearing a charcoal colored overcoat and black leather gloves moves down the steps to the podium, he sports a proud smile showing well kept white teeth.

Ladies and Gentlemen, patriots of Sylvania. I come before you today to thank you for your support and encouragement. Without you our great nation would be nothing, you who stand here in the face adversity for your beliefs. Do not let these cowardly socialists strike fear into your hearts. We shall restore order to this nation, we shall fight in the halls of government against this communist infection. As the world further succumbs to the lies of the communist agenda, Sylvanians pull away the veil that has been placed over their heads. We arise from listlessness and dissatisfaction and find that: yes! Something can be done about our lot in life!

These rioters are pawns of the powers that be, they see their end and use their minions to strike fear and cause chaos. No more! No more will we be cowed by these brutes who strike us with one hand and with other attempt to pacify us and dissuade us from the ambition that filled the hearts of our forefathers. Our forefathers who built this nation, who took a harsh land and shaped it for the betterment of their people.


A small tan colored ball shape appears from the left side of the screen as the speaker continues and bounces off the podium. The speaker bend his body to the right to see what was thrown and then an explosion rips apart the podium. The speakers is thrown back and a small spray off blood can be barely seen coming off his face. The crowd screams and scrambles for cover. The camera is jerked to right and a multi colored test pattern is briefly shown. The news presenter appears again eyes wide and clearly shocked.

Uhh, sorry ladies and gentlemen, we are not sure what just happened and we are now experiencing technical difficulties. It appears there was an explosion of some sort. We will be right back to figure out what happened after these messages.

The camera pans away as the music from the beginning of the show plays again, the presenter can be seen questioning a nearby producer. The screen fades to black to transition to commercial.

[/div]PARTI COMMUNISTE DE SERENIERRE
Directorate for Press Relations

The Party is mindful of the recent demonstrations occurring in the Occidental Republic of Sylvania and while it is the view of the Central Committee that legitimate grounds exist for the Proletariat to register its disapproval of the status quo, the scale of violence and the general disturbance witnessed is wholly against the ideological stance espoused by the Marxist-Sérazinist ideology.

We condemn any leftist organisation or Marxist party which is attempting to incite or support violence in any form and believe that ultimately violence is not in the wider interests of the Proletarian struggle.

The Party stands in solidarity with the comments made by Mme. Elisabeth Martinique in her speech at the Commissariat on February 4, 2019.

Police units have retreated from the streets as an illegal militia has entered the city, armed to the teeth to avenge the attack on President of Congress Ashley Breckenridge. In 2008 militias were declared illegal and disbanded by President Jillian Snyder's executive order after a right wing terrorism scare that never materialized, despite being disbanded many law enforcement agencies refused to disarm the citizens that were part of the militias. Now former members of the disbanded Charleroi Militia have entered the city and have attacked rioters nearby where the attack took place. Police responded by deploying the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad, colloquially known as S.T.A.R.S., however the small elite unit was unable to neutralize the lead elements of the militia and leftist rioters and were eventually forced to retreat after taking casualties. Currently twenty three people have died and over two hundred have been injured. Despite the rising tide of violence between right and left and the terrorist attack that has left a public official maimed, President Jillian Snyder refuses to call a state of emergency to restore order and Snyder administration officials refuse to say if the President is in the capital or not. Democratic Socialist party officials are also refusing to answer questions about the riot and have not condemned their youth wings for starting the riot.

Federalist Party Chairwoman Katalin Faraday had this to say: "The President and the Democratic Socialist have shown gross negligence in handling this crisis. President Snyder could end the hostilities with the stroke of a pen by declaring a state of emergency. Instead she has left all responsibilities to Governor Havelock and the Clarion Commonwealth who are paralyzed by their inability to call up resources that require federal approval. Clearly this shows that further decentralization of the federal government's powers are needed. Furthermore to not condemn the actions of the Youth League of Democratic Socialists tells us that the DemSoc Party is complicit in these acts of violence that have destroyed public property, caused the deaths of our brave police officers and innocent citizens and has led to the maiming of one our highest public officers and a personal friend of mine. While we support citizen's constitutional right to defend themselves we ask that the militia disband and return to their homes before anymore people are hurt. As I have mentioned earlier, the maiming of Ash Breckenridge is a grave attack on our changing government by leftist agitators and I hold President Snyder personally responsible as only one day before the terrorist attack, she denied Breckenridge protection by the Federal Protection Squadron."

In Other News

  • President of Congress Ashley Breckenridge was take to Charleroi's Smith-Hart Medical Center after he was attacked by a grenade throwing terrorist. The hospital reports that he is in critical condition and has suffered shrapnel wounds to the eyes, potentially blinding him. He also suffered shrapnel wounds to his arm and chest. The terrorist has yet to be apprehended.
  • The Charleroi Metropolitan Police Force has ordered that all citizens in riot areas remain indoors as much as possible. Any activity that can be construed as aiding rioters or vigilante militia will be subject to arrest.

President Snyder Declares State of Emergency; Continental Army Restores Order In Charleroi.
Brian Leslie

"About a week and a half too late." Said one anonymous citizen of Charleroi as armored personnel carriers, jeeps and armed soldiers entered the city limits to disperse rioting crowds and illegal militia. The Continental Army mobilized the 5th Infantry Division under Major General William Tully, just over twenty thousand men, to restore order to the embattled capital. Eyewitnesses reported early last night the arrival of military helicopters circling over head, traffic in and out of the city center, where most of the trouble was located, was cut off by military road blocks. Maj. General Tully, reported that within an hour his men where in place and had arrested over one thousand five hundred individuals. Several Illegal militias surrendered and where placed into military custody, while leftist rioters where more unwilling to comply. Using fire hoses and tear gas, despite resistance, the leftist rioters where quickly subdued.

Maj. General Tully had this to say about the operation: "We had a little trouble with the rioters and the militiamen gave up as soon as ordered. I applaud the restraint these so called illegal militias had in the face of unwarranted violence by leftist agitators. They could have swept through this place like fire in dry grass, but instead chose to defend their homes and businesses from attack. I dare say that this could have been more easily contained if the militias weren't disbanded a few years ago! We have had protests, political violence and small riots before, but not one like this. This country is going to hell in a hand basket and to have to call us out here is symptomatic of a greater failure in civilian leadership. I know I am going to catch hell for this... hell, I'll call it now and predict I'll be relieved of command within the next few days, but someone has to say it! Two hundred some people are dead, over five hundred injured, three thousand some arrested, we had an attempted assassination of a politician and over one billion dollars in damage has been done to the city physically and economically. The international community is laughing at us, people!

Indeed, damage to the city has surpassed one billion silver dollars, many private businesses were ransacked by thieves and angry rioters, fire fighting units racked up millions in overtime attempting to put out fires across the city. Police overtime charges have amounted to almost ten million dollars as well. City officials are expected to meet tomorrow to request assistance from both state and federal governments to help alleviate the city's sudden increase in debt. President Jillian Snyder is scheduled to speak tomorrow about the riots and to explain how long the state of emergency is expected to go on.

In Other News

  • The League of Democratic Socialists has sent representatives to Natalia to meet with their own political youth leagues. Police suspect that many of the representatives currently out of the country are deeply involved with planning the Days of Rage event that sparked the riots. This information has come after an anonymous hacker revealed the names and addresses of League members who used an internet chat program to plan the event.
  • President of Congress Ashley Breckenridge remains in the hospital. It has been reported by those close the Breckenridge family that sight has been restored in his left eye while the right eye is a complete loss. Breckenridge has been moved to the recovery ward, but is eager to get back to work.
  • The manhunt for Breckenridge's attacker continues, but after the chaos of the riots, police are not confident that much headway will be made in finding out the identity of the terrorist.

Open Communique

The government and folk of the Federation of the Natal stand side by side with the sister peoples of Sylvania in those trying times and wish to offer our condolences for the loss of life and our support for the authorities as they try to reassert national sovereignty amid all the chaos brought forward by terrorists and communist agitators.

We know that the Civic Youth League has invited members of the youth league of the Democratic Socialist Party, in an experience exchange program, but the Central Himyari Police wishes to assure you that the Federation is no safe place for terrorists of any kind. If necessary, we are ready to cooperate with Sylvanian authorities to be sure that the suspects don't disappear into the Himyari Bush and are apprehended and extradited to Charleroi.

Her Majesty’s Government believes it would be inappropriate considering the histories of our nations to offer aid in the shape or form of security. Our sincerest hope is that the fraternity shared between our peoples will result in a shared believe in the safety and stability of the Sylvanian nation and people.

The honorable Prime Minister Birger Ola Hansson offers his deepest sympathies to the Sylvanian people and the inhabitants of Karlstad and the wounded Ashley Breckenridge. Should any suspects flee to the Two Kingdoms, our authorities will ensure their capture and extradition to Sylvania.

It is our belief that those who riot, theive, and murder in Karlstad are not proper representations of Socialism, and the Socialist Party of the Two Kingdoms condemns their acts of cowardice.

The Honorable Jillian Snyder
President
Charleroi, Sylvania
The Continental Republic of Sylvania

Dear President Snyder


The horrific loss of life in the Continental Republic should weigh heavy on the hearts of any genuine human being. Stemming from the murder of an innocent youth expressing his political right to assembly, the protestors were met with armed militias in what could only result in a bloodbath. This bloodbath has now resulted in an incredible loss of life and little done to address the concerns of the people on either side of the Sylvanian political spectrum.

In moments when discussions cannot be had and civil debate is suppressed, the only remaining recourse for a people to retake control of their sovereignty is violence. The Aurarine Republic would caution that the use of violence by the state, legitimized due to its monopoly, is a catalyst for an equally disruptive response.


You must now be responsible for ensuring that in the coming weeks, months, and years the dialogue of civil discourse in Sylvania remains free of political bias and rests solely in what is good for the Sylvanian people. That dialogue cannot be controlled nor contrived by neither the Federalists nor the Democratic Socialists.

We trust in your leadership to prevent further violence for political gain.

Signed,

HEADLINES
President Snyder addresses the nation. - The Charleroi Tribune Review

President Jillian Snyder addressed the nation last night on television, the first address to the nation in over six months. President Snyder, reiterated that congress voted to illegalize all militias and that vigilante justice would not be tolerated. She called for calm and obedience from the citizens in these trying times. She assured Democratic Socialist voters that the change up in congress was only a slight set back that will be rightfully corrected in the 2020 mid term election cycle. "We must look to government as a source of progress, only through government can we affect real change. Violence is not the answer to politically upsetting challenges." - President Snyder. Additionally President Snyder announced that the League of Young Democratic Socialists would be disbanded and its leaders held responsible for the riots.

Snyder Administration to face Congressional Special Counsel? - The Capitol Record

The Freedom Coalition of Federalists, Night Watchmen and Silver Legion in congress have requested the Attorney General to form a special counsel to investigate President Snyder's involvement in the Charleroi Riots sparked by the Youth wing of her party: The League of Young Democratic Socialists. The Attorney General has not yet commented on the request.

Ashley Breckenridge speaks from hospital. - The Tiroe City Register

"I am healing quickly and shall soon be seen within the halls of government soon. I feel reinvigorated in my fight for the rights of all Sylvanians who are tired of government oppression and stripping of their constitutional rights. The attempt on my life is only proof that I am moving in the right direction." - President of Congress Ashley Breckenridge.

Charleroi Nativists Sue Democratic Socialists; Form Monument Protection Groups. - Guiding Light Interfaith Magazine

The Sylvanian Nativist Association has filed suit against the Democratic Socialist party for the League of Young Democratic Socialists "foul desecration" of sainted figure, Sander Rygaard. The statue dedicated to President Sander Rygaard was destroyed and defecated on by rioters. "This is an insult to the greatest President this country has known, a man who gave his life for freedom and the Sylvanian way. The statue was a small way to honor his memory and their destruction of it not only disrespects this country, but is the desecration of a pilgrimage site holy to Sylvanian Nativists." The Nativist Association has formed groups to shield statues and monuments to Sylvanian historical figures from any future attacks and provide safe passage for Nativists looking to visit historical sites in the capital.

The Last of the Kawatseka March in Tiroe City. - Journal of Tiroe City

Members of the fledgling Kawatseka Nation marched through the streets of Tiroe City chanting slogans in support of the Yamassaw Nation currently undergoing forced resettlement in Beautancus. Police presence was heavy during the protest, but was largely unneeded as protesters disbanded at their designated after protest rally points.

The state of affairs in Sylvania is most disturbing and we are concerned at the continued deterioration of peace and order in society. The disquiet among the people and the sheer vitriol witnessed over these past few weeks cannot be silenced merely by banning and disbanding violent organisations. The substance of the grievance must be addressed before the stillness shall be restored.

However, the République Séraziniste is clear in its support to the state authorities in restoring order. Yet, calls on the Snyder administration to remain mindful of the civil rights of its citizens as well and to seek proportionate measures when handling dissidents.

Moreover, we are seeking clarification from the Government that our embassy in Charleroi remains well protected.

Beautancus revokes recognition, Snyder Admin denies all allegations.
Brian Leslie

In a surprising turn of events the Cussian government has revoked recognition of President Jillian Snyder's administration. The revocation came after unfounded accusations of embezzlement, conspiracy to commit fraud and murder, murder, racketeering and child abuse. The accusations were made in a bizarre open letter written by First Citizen Orton that explained further evidence would come to show the world crimes committed by the current Sylvanian government. The Director of Foreign Affairs, Joe Bernstein, has released a statement denying all Cussian claims of criminality on behalf of the Snyder administration:

"This is really no surprise to us, that in a moment of national weakness, the vulture named Orton would attempt to further destabilize our great but troubled nation. I would not be surprised if the Federalists were involved in this stunt. No evidence has been provided and no evidence will be provided, this is a Cussian hit and run tactic that we should all be familiar with and condemn outright. For one who so champions the supposed Rule of Civilized Law and Responsible Governance, he has acted with great irresponsibility with his attempt to rile up Sylvanians against their government, endangering millions of people."

The Charleroi City Magazine could not obtain specific comment from Federalists party representatives who have been quiet, except to show support for their injured fellow, Ashley Breckenridge. Instead we were given a canned response:

"The Federalists Party is currently working hard in Congress to champion the freedom of the Sylvanian people and to limit the power of the reckless Snyder Administration, whose policies have damaged the public trust and limited the constitutional rights of all Sylvanians."

Continental Army Redeploys to Norastad - Norastad Observer

With the threat of invasion from West Engell Militia, elements of the Fifth Infantry Division who were stationed in Charleroi to quell the riots are now in the border city of Norastad. One thousand five hundred infantry men have bolstered the small Norastad police force as well as the small Border Patrol unit to halt the incoming foreign militiamen, with violence if necessary. Continental Army and Border Patrol spokespeople refused to comment on the developing situation on the small border between Sylvania and the West Engell Republic. Norastad citizens are rightfully worried, with clashes between illegal militia and leftist rioters in Charleroi causing so much damage In Norastad, far removed from woes of the capital, people are wondering if the madness they saw in Charleroi could find them unprepared for the damage and pain that could result.

Attorney General Jefferson Keys formally blocked the request made by Federalists in Congress to investigate President Jillian Snyder over emails sent back and forth between the now disbanded League of Democratic Socialists, the President and her charitable organization the Snyder Foundation. The Attorney General cited the lack of evidence presented by the Federalists as the reason.

Spring Floods Destroys Farmlands -Tiroe City Register

Thousands of acres of farm and grazing land in the state of Newnan have been destroyed by floods caused by torrential downpours sweeping across the country in what meteorologists at the Federal Weather Service are saying could be the wettest year Sylvania has experienced in twenty years. The swollen Tiroe river has also caused millions of dollars in damage to riverside buildings in Tiroe City.
