DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION ANNOUNCES NEW SIDEARM FOR POLICE FORCE TO BE OUTSOURCED TO WASATCH.
NEW TOYS FOR OUR BOYS IN BLUE AGAINST THE BERVENIAN SEPARATISTS.


In a surprise announcement from the Department of Justice earlier this morning the contract for the new sidearm for the Ivernian Garda Síochána in the Bervenian Province will be manufactured by Sunter & Weston, an arms manufacturing plant in far off Wasatch.
The call for a new sidearm to be issued was made after many complaints were made by the Ivernian Gardaí that the old 9mm handguns were jamming too frequently during the recent firefights at Wasserfjord. Complaints were also made that the guns were not penetrating the terrorists power armour, Resulting in the deaths of two Gardaí.
While it was assumed that the Nemedia Corporation or the Aodh-Mór Corporation would be given the contract, The Department of Justice based at Judge Keep announced the decision to open a new trade deal with the nation of Wasatch, and the arms manufacturing company of Sunter & Weston.
''There have been talks between Ivernia and Wasatch about opening a trade deal for some time now and when Wasatch heard of the call for a new sidearm they offered the services of Sunter & Weston'' stated Judge Faffram Bunanza, head of The Division of Firearms. ''Sunter & Weston has a long history of supplying military weaponry in all fields and I am assured it will be of the highest quality and a far superior weapon to the old 9mm, based on the prototypes we have recieved.''
Judge Bunanza also added ''This is also an opportunity to add some much needed competition to the arms market in Ivernia, as Nemedia Corp and Aodh-Mór have had a monopoly for too long.''
With the new weapon being shipped from abroad, the Bervenian Separatist Force will be unable to match the technology easily, giving our Gardaí a much needed edge.

Hopefully with the new sidearm our Gardaí can give the terrorists a surprise they won't forget.

This trade deal could possibly be a new trade deal of many as talks with Wasatch continue.
Regarding the recent events in the Wasatch capitol of Salt Lake City and the upheaval of Markus Boyack; as of this morning the Elector Princes had no comment.

WEDDING BELLS FOR THE AODH-MÓR FAMILY
AISLING AODH-MÓR HAS MARRIED STEPHEN BYRNE AT 4PM TODAY AFTER A 9 MONTH LONG ENGAGEMENT

​

After months of fantastic and fervent speculation following the announcement this January, today on this fine August day Aisling Aodh-Mór, elder sister to our Emperor has tied the knot with long time partner Stephen Byrne in the Arch-Cathedral of Saint Brian Bóruma. The Catholic Primate of Ivernia Arch Bishop Maximillian Rothillan, a long time friend of the couple presided over the ceremony himself.

The event was spectacular as the inside of the Arch-Cathedral was draped in silks of white and cream. The inside of the Church also held an air of anticipation as the couple have been together for over a decade and it was presumed for some time they simply had no interest in marriage. Some speculate it was Rothillan himself who convinced them into the wedding.
The great Arch-Cathedral was awash in well wishers as the dignitaries, delegates and also loved ones poured in by it's great oak doors.
Many people were eager to see the greats of Ivernian society. The Emperor and the Elector Princes, the Judge Magisters, and the elites of the Church and the Senate were all present at this celebration.

The Bride herself entered the church in a beautiful pure white silk dress sown in a traditional Ivernian style. The couple seemed extremely happy troughout the ceremony, if a little nervous over the grandeur of the event.
Once the mass had been completed, Many people have said they were moved by the moment of the vows, their long relationship announced for all, all the commitment to their vows clasp in gold with the exchange of the rings. The happy couple then exited the Arch-Cathedral as husband and wife and to the joyous cheers of those waiting outside. As the couple were leaving the chapel a few brief words were obtained for the awaiting and anxious press. ''Well, I think it's going wonderfully.'' said Stephen. ''We're having a wonderful time.''
''It's great, I recommened it.'' Aisling said simply, perhaps a small snicker suppressed.
''The joyous event of my two friends being bonded in Holy Matrimony, is an event I have waited for for some time,'' says the Primate Maximillian Rothillan, ''By my own hand no less!''.
Photos and confetti later, the couple were whisked away by a Rolls Royce Phantom with tassels in the Imperial colours (and the colours of Aodh-Mór) of green and gold with their two young daughters to An Impíre Caisleán, the 900 year old seat of the Empire, perched on the Emperor's Rock overlooking the emerald 'white oak forest' of Nemedia.

The reception is currently ongoing but is said to be held in the great hall of Impire Caisleán and is being hosted by the Holy Emperor Patricius Aodh-Mór himself.
The reception is being described as 'lavish', 'beautiful' and 'regal' by those at the banquet. The cake is said to have been cut at 6pm by the new couple, a cake nine layers high covered in white icing with gold accents.

An Nuachtán na Ívernia congratulates Stephen and Aisling on their wedding and this most wonderful day, and wishes them nothing but good tidings for the future.



The event is said to have been ''a major boost to the Empire's spirit'' as the summer was marred by sporadic violence in Bervenia.

Ord Ársa na nÍvernianach Danmhairgis Móire
Gammel Orden af Store Danske Ivernianer​

The Ancient Order of Great Danish Ivernians, communicates its immense pleasure to the royal couple in the name of all our members following the announcement of the cementation of regal matrimony. The news has been received with great acclaim within the Order and has led to great cheer, festivities and a renewal of purpose in our mission.

The prestigious and preeminent cultural society within the Great Danish kingdom promoting links between Ivernia and Danmark has a lineage of over 140 years, having been established by the notable Dano-Ivernian scholar and linguist Asbjørn ó Súilleabháin whose life's work, borne from personal experience, trials and tribulations, was to promote ties between his maternal and paternal lands and foster understanding and cultural awareness and enrichment between the two very different realms.

Today, the Order works to promote an understanding of Ivernian culture and language within the Kingdom with educational outreach programmes to teach the Ivernian tongue and cultural manners, especially through its ever-popular summer schools. In a similar fashion, it has links to organisations in Ivernia to promote the linguistic and cultural aspects of the Great Danes.

The royal marriage has struck a resonance within the Kingdom at this time as the nation gears up for the national coming together in preparation for that most illustrious and momentous of occasions, the coronation of the new king of our nation.

NEW SIDE ARM FOR THE BERVENIA GARDA SÍOCHÁNA DELIVERED FROM WASATCH
​

DESPITE THE CHAOS IN WASATCH, SUNTER & WESTON DELIVER

ALSO, AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM H.I.E PATRICIUS AODH-MÓR​

No time at all since the first prototypes for the Bervenian forces new sidearm were delivered we are now seeing the shipment of the 'Sunter & Weston FN Five Seven' being delivered to Vedrarfjord on the Milesian coast, soon to be transported south to Bervenia.

The 'Sunter & Weston FN Five Seven' is a semi-automatic pistol with the ability to penetrate body armour. It is lightweight and according to early reports from testers has a 25-30% softer recoil than the old 9mm sidearm.

The shipment was arranged between Sunter & Weston, the Ivernian Department of Justice: Firearms and Ammunition and the Chabhlach Impiriúil na hÍvernia (Ivernian Imperial Navy). Because of the recent troubles in Wasatch, armed forces were required to protect the shipment of firearms at all times. Sunter & Weston, using a private security ship as escort brought the cargo to the very edge of Wasatchian Territorial Waters where the cargo ship was then taken and escorted by two warships from the CII fleet, the L.Í Aisling and the L.Í Niamh who carried the ship through international waters and then to Ivernia's western Milesian coast for the port-city of Vedrarfjord.

The L.Í Niamh (P52) will be docking at Vedrarfjord for the upcoming weeks while all of the FN Five Seven's are unloaded and sent to Bervenia.


Lieutenant Commander Roberta O'Brien of the L.Í Ivernia reported for the press on the trip to Wasatch. ''I heard a lot of distress from certain voices in Ivernia over this mission considering the current danger level of Wasatch'' she stated, ''But there was no issue. Neither warship were approached or targeted during the escort. Sunter & Weston were very professional and the entire dispatch went very smoothly.''

These new sidearms will be put into use by the beginning of next month and are certain to give the Gardaí in Bervenia a major advantage over the separatists.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM H.I.E PATRICIUS AODH-MÓR ON WASATCH
​

The office of the Holy Ivernian Emperor was approached considering the troubles in Wasatch to clarify Ivernia's official position on the matter.

''I, the Holy Emperor of Ivernia, through my Department of Foreign Affairs have already deeply condemned the recent attacks on protesters by the National Guard with live rounds and I also condemn the bus-bomb attack on the Senate of Wasatch. However at this time I will not condone military intervention. Not only would it pit the military of Ivernia and the military of Wasatch against one another I have no doubt the Wasatch rebels would also see Ivernia as an opportunist conqueror and endeavor to attack us also. The Holy Empire of Ivernia cannot solve this with guns and bombs.
Instead I implore the nations of the world who also share my condemnation of this war to make their voices heard. The sooner a ceasefire and talks can be made the sooner the people of Wasatch no longer live in fear.''

RÍ NA SPÉIR AIRSHIP BUILT AND FLYING FOR THE FIRST TIME

You must be registered for see links

People gathered from all across Ivernia to watch the ship lift off for the first time.


​

A project by Nemedia Aeronautics that was 4 years in the making the Rí na Spéir, the largest Airship ever constructed lifted off this morning to the adulation of an enormous crowd that was allowed to gather on Nemedia Aeronautics' construction hanger.
The Rí na Spéir will become a large commercial passenger ship capable of carrying up to 72 passengers and a crew of up to 61. The Rí na Spéir will be capable of reaching an unbelievable 135 km/h.

The airship is 245 metres long with a volume of 200,000m[SUP]3[/SUP], actually making it larger than any building in Ivernia.

The majestic ship will have Commander Hugo MacArthur as it's pilot, who has said ''Safety, at all times, is my priority.'' It was said he demanded that the ship uses the expensive Helium over the cheap Hydrogen, due to Helium being non-flammable. A man who has been flying since the very introduction of the 'aeroplane' to Ivernia all those decades ago, An Nuactán na hÍvernia wishes him Godspeed.

This is the 8th airship to be added to Nemedia Aeronautics' fleet and it will be the lead ship. It is believed that the ship is easily capable of trans-national flight but will join the regular fleet for the time being ''to ease it in'' as it were. The Rí na Spéir will be joining the Vedrarfjord - Bán Dair Cathrach - Bervenia City route, the longest in the Empire. It's maiden voyage is expected soon.

The test runs to Free Occidentia's largest city Coplay, to Fengtian of Jurchen and Nokanawa in Touzen have been complete successes, according to Ivernia's airline company Ivernia Air and also Nemedia Corp; the airship manufacturers.
The first international, trans-continental flights by an airship in Ivernian history occured over these few weeks as the Ri na Speir Set off from just outside Ban Dair Cathrach to Coplay city in Free Occidentia. The sight of the great airship hoving over the tall towers of Coplay was said to be a ''great view to be held'' by the city's major. The Ri na Speir hovered around Coplay for a day to refuel at a newly built 'Nemedia Corp Helium Tower' then set back for Ivernia, landing back at Vedrarfjord to scenes of jubilation and celebration at this landmark of Ivernian Aeronautics.

Following brief repairs due to slight rudder damage obtained due to fierce winds on the Great Thaumantic Ocean the Ri na Speir set off once more to complete its final test. A massive journey across all Sarmatia unto the far eastern region of Toyou entering Fengtian city in Jurchen, where it briefly stopped until the final push to Nokanawa. When the airship landed at the air dock Commander Hugo MacArthur stepped down as the first Ivernian man on Touzen soil.
''With this step, with this airship, all things are possible'' MacArthur stated to a gathering crowd of Touzen people.

With this success comes the beginning of ''The Grand Continental Run'' on the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] of September. The Ri na Speir shall set course for Coplay consisting of 7 day trip full run. On the 10[SUP]th[/SUP] the Ri na Speir shall set course for Fengtian, and then Nokanawa on a 9 day round trip. Followed by one more trip to Free Occidentia at the end of the month.

'Mr. MacArthur's visit here goes far beyond the establishment of a commercial route of air travel, but rather rises above mere trivialities to transcend into a sphere of humanity that gives a meaning to human existence itself; reminding all of us that we touch and effect each other's lives more and more with each passing day. The airship, an establishment of ages past, instead of being outdated today, quite on the contrary illustrates the timelessness of our human unity and our craving to bond.' - Inoue Katō, former Lord Protector of the Constitutional State, speaking at the arrival celebrations for the Ri na Speir

​

On site report by News Correspondent Valerie O'Sullivan

Today just outside of Vedrarfjord we have seen the launch of the Nomad Airship. A newly construced ship by Nemedia Corp which has been designed to withstand the harsh colds of Sneachtír. Quite a large crowd was present as the King of Milesia gave a speech on Ivernian Aerospace and it's never ending progression.

''In Ivernia, in this High Kingdom, the sky is definitely not the limit''

Commander Hugo MacArthur seems to have drawn quite a large crowd on his own, with his past accomplishments in the Ivernian Air Force, and his granduer adventures he has gathered quite a celebraty following. One that will surely grow over these coming months.

Commentators are deeply analyzing MacArthurs choice to lead this expedition considering his father Magnus MacArthur's famous voyage decades before.
It is said while the building of the permanent base on the Rudolph Ice Shelf, to be named ''Rudolph Base'' is the main focus of this mission Commander MacArthur has stated the Nomad will find time to traverse to the South Pole and he does plan to set foot upon it.

BERVENIAN PROVINCIAL ARMY TO BE REINSTATED
High King Felix Uí Neill has officially announced that the Bervenian Provincial Army shall be reinstated. Bervenia has been under forced de-militarization since 1927 after the Ivernish-Bervenian war and Bervenia has been a province of Ivernia since 1930, after over 300 years independant. Since 1930 Bervenia has been directly overseen by the Ivernian military. M.R.A Felix Uí Neill has announced that the Ivernian National Army is stretching itself too far taking care of the Province directly. He also said that Bervenia has moved on a great deal from the past and the time has come for it to fully become a Province of Ivernia.
It was said that the King of Bervenia lobbied extensively for the re-enstatement. Bervenia shall be equipped with an Royal Bervenian Army, and a Royal Bervenian Navy. High King Felix Uí Neill expects to make orders internationally to fill most of the quota.

NOMAD TOUCHDOWN ON SNEACHTÍR
The Nomad Crane-Airship commandeered by Hugo MacArthur has touched down on Sneachtír, the frozen continent at the bottom of the world, after a three day stay at Faeroerne Island.
With the cargo ships quicly behind him, he has announced the construction of a dock and base on the Rudolph Shelf. It is said the base will be called ''MacArthur Polar Base'' after Hugo's father Magnus.
Construction is expected to take many weeks but the Royal Ivernish Geographic Society declares that ''All plans are exactly on time.''

TRADE UNION PROSOSED BY DANMARK
In a recent press announcement by a national Danish paper, Danmark is plotting a large trade union. With many nations including Engellex, Eiffelland and the Mezist Union to name a few. The Danish Imperium also named the High Kingdom of Ivernia as one of the applicants.
The High King Felix Uí Neill is said to have immediately met with Silvio MacBrady (the head of the Ivernian Senate) to discuss the offer and then just days later sent off a letter of acceptance via the Elector Prince David MacSweeney to Danmark. Many companies including Nemedia Corp and Aodh-Mór Corporation have welcomed the news, saying ''It opens up a new world of clientele for our international business.''

The All-Ivernia Senior Hurling Final has ended with a Gaillimhe victory over Lowport. In a heated match with high scoring the whole way through people were on the edge of their seats at it went to the last 10 minutes with only two points between the teams. However with 5 minutes to the whistle Gaillimhe scored a fantastic goal giving the team extra three points, giving them a 5 point lead, and it was all over then!
Man of the Match: Kevin Murphy Forward for Gaillimhe.

Junior Hurling match between Lowport and Dawn City was a landslide victory for Lowport. Many say it was party due to Lowport eager to win at least one trophy, but mostly due to Dawn City being a Gaelic Football region with little investment in Hurling, leaving the Dawn City Hurlers immensely proud just to have made it to second place.

FURY OVER JURZANI OIL PRICE INCREASE
Many companies across Ivernia have reacted angrily to the enormous increase in the cost of oil from the Jurzan. The High Kingdom of Ivernia has recieved over half of it's oil from the Jurzan for many years and earlier today it was announced from the ''Big Three'' (Jurzan, Mezhist Union and Media) that they were all to dramatically increase their price per barrel.
The High King of Ivernia has declared to the Senate that he ''strongly suggests that the time to wean ourselves from the Jurzan is now. We must become more fuel independant or we will lose our sovereignty and our economy. This Jurzan increase threatens our industries who now must pay almost triple for their fuel needs. This will not stand.''
The High King of Ivernia declared that as of today Ivernia is to develop and produce an off-shore drilling sector as well as development into off-shore gas. ''The Gothic Sea is our sea, abundant with energy that would lessen the leash on our necks from Himyar.''
The new energy company named the 'Aodh-Mór Electric Power Company' is to become the latest branch to the semi-state Aodh-Mór Corporation. The Aodh-Mór Corporation have announced that they have already begun development.

RUMOURS OF IVERNISH AIRCRAFT CARRIER CRUSHED
Following news that a party named the 'National Party', in the Scanian nation of Telora made large calls for Aircraft Carriers, as well as the well publicised Sylvanian call for ''defence'' with it's order of two Aircraft Carriers the Ivernish people have been wondering whether the Ivernian Military will follow suit. Especially considering Telora and Sylvania are both northern nations in Ivernia's realm of activity.
The Department for Defence issued a statement: ''The Aircraft Carrier Ship is a weapon that is utilized to excert power outside of a nations national border. It is a weapon of offence. As of this time the military of Ivernia has no call for this need. Not only that, the sheer cost of purchasing, maintaining, fuelling and manning an aircraft carrier would be far more than the Navy's budget allows. It would be a lie to deny that the main wing of Ivernia's military and defence is it's airforce, the Ivernish Air Corps, and the Air Corps at this time assists the Navy just fine from the land-based military airports. As of this time Ivernia has no need to stretch it's Air Corps influence any futher into Europe than Ivernia's land and sea territory.''

DEMANDS FOR THE NEW BERVENIAN PROVINCIAL MILITARY EQUIPMENT STILL NOT FILLED
The King of Bervenia has called once more on the High Senate to speed up the aquistion of equipment for the new Bervenian Army and Navy. He has stated that ''This wait for the right product to be advertised has gone on too long. The High Senate needs to make a decision now so that Bervenian Provincial Borders can be protected by native Bervenians. Something I strongly believe shall reduce tensions in this Provinces and help strengthen our climate of peace.''

NEW AIRPLANE TO BE ENTERED INTO THE IVERNISH AIR CORPS - HOME PRODUCED
An announcement has been made my the Aodh-Mór Corporation headquarters at Bán Dair Cathrach that the new plane made to order for the Ivernish Air Corps is soon to be completed. The official first flight is not expected for some time however and production is expected to start beforehand.
The Aodh-Mór Corporation announced that the sale of the airplane has not been given permission from the State and their are rumours it's sale may be restricted in certain regards.

IVERNIA'S POSITION ON THE WAR IN THE HIGH EAST BROUGHT INTO QUESTION
NATIONS BURN WHILE IVERNISH SENATE FINDS AN ANSWER
The Ivernish Senate has been facing harsh criticism from opposing party member leaders as days have passed after the controversial and polarising invasion of Raigestan by Danmark forces on the move to Miroslavl.
The head of the Ivernish Senate, Silvio MacBrady, who is also the head of the Ivernish Centrist Party, the largest political party in the Senate has finally made his statement:



​

Seoladh ón Árd-Seanadóir ar na Seanaid Iverniann

''There have been many polarising views on this action by the armed forces of Danmark concerning Raigestan. There have been many voices, such as the United Republic of Sylvania and the nation of Carentania who condemn this action. Saying that this action was an act of war against a neutral nation. A crime they say which has soured their relations with Christiansborg significantly. I have also heard news of Sylvania closing it's embassies with the Danish Kingdom.

Ivernia questions what it means to be neutral. The word has been thrown around a lot in the past weeks and months by many nations. As if it is an excuse to act as you please. I call these nations who describe Raigestan as neutral:

Is it?

A neutral nation has no allies, no alliances. Ivernia for example, would not consider herself truly neutral. Or recent military training campaign with our allies in the long sea would put merit to that.

Raigestan is not neutral, it is a puppet. A puppet of Miroslavl that was forced into it's current state by Miroslavl force. The people, who were originally a part of Sikandara have been forced into their current state. The people of Raigestan did not vote for Miroslavl influence. The people of Raigestan do not support Miroslavl Influence.

As early as this morning, the Empire of Great Engellex announced that the true invaders of Raigestan, the true committers of crime is the nation of Miroslavl. That they are the invaders and enforcers of their doctrine on the people. The High Kingdom of Ivernia backs this statement.

The High Kingdom of Ivernia will keep a close eye on the people of Raigestan throughout this conflict, and we are sure the Kingdom of Danmark will be remembered as liberators in Raigestans history.''


IVERNISH MILITARY ON THE INCREASE
Following and announcement by the Ivernish Senate condoning Danmark and condemning Miroslavl's actions in Raigestan the leader of the Ivernish Senate Silvio MacBrady has also called for the reserve forces of the Ivernian military to be pulled in for extensive training. Military spending is also on the rise and various new equipment is to be bought from the industries in Ivernia and also from nations within the Grand European Trade Pact.

The fact of the matter remains that the government of Raigestan declared its neutrality in the ongoing conflict between the Mezhist Union and Danmark versus Miroslavl, a conflict itself rooted in the imperialist infringement of the former regimes upon the sovereignity of Boliatur. Raigestan, in this process, assumed a certain degree of independence from Miroslavl, despite existing political ties. Danmark not only choose to completely disrespect this degree of independence and the declaration of neutrality in the ongoing conflict, it publically declared it did so for the mere sake of "gaining a base against Miroslavl". It degraded Raigestani state and people to not even chesspieces in this game of imperialism, but to the very board itself upon which it is played. Thousands of innocent civilians will pay this with their very livelihoods.

Contrary to the vast propaganda campaign enacted by the Rijeka junta, Raigestan cannot under any circumstances be considered anything other than a Miroslavian puppet state. The Ivernian government is correct in its assessment of the situation in relation to Danish military operations currently taking place in Raigestan and the Ivernian government has the full backing of the Fennian Union in its declared stance in relation with the Raigestan affair. Additionally, the Union government wishes to relay to Ivernia its appreciation that sanity and calm has been maintained in its assessment, especially in contrast with the rash proclamations made by several European states concerning Raigestan.

Mr. Kauko Vannas,
Foreign Minister

The Mezhist Union heartily applauds the rational, sober thinking that comes from nations such as Ivernia, who correctly regard the campaign of infuriating lies conducted by the Red Horde in Carentania and the closet post-delegationists in Sylvania with great skepticism, and a brief glance at an elementary-level history textbook shows how hollow their claims are. North Raigestan was forcibly conquered by Soviet Miroslavl and firmly chained into its orbit as a puppet state, loudly proclaiming freedom when their only freedom is to be mercilessly oppressed by their Soviet slave masters. If the Worker's Junta had any concept of principles, those very same principles they keep proclaiming to the world every single day that passes, they would join civilized nations such as Ivernia, Great Engellex, and the Fennian Union in supporting the Danes in their effort to roll back oppressive Soviet rule and brining peace and order to the peoples of North Raigestan.

Instead, they use the Soviets as a tool to further their own, evil goals. We expected nothing less from the Red Horde.

Sincerely,
Boleslaw Gorski
General Executive of International Affairs

SENATE BROUGHT TO CRASHING HALT, HIGH KING DECLARES SENATORS ''IRRESPONSIBLE''

Todays proceedings in Nemedia House, the seat of the Ivernish Senate were brought to a crashing halt today as the lastest bill to pass through the Ivernish Senate today was to address the Fennian Union's call for further actions against the Carentanian embargo on the Jurzan, which brought a full house to the Ivernish Senate with 498 of 500 Senators attending the bill.
The designing of an Ivernish policy regarding further action against the Communist state was predicted to be controversial, but almost immediately after proceedings began, inflammitory comments were being said by many of the political partys. The Mezhist Party, with 8 Senators in the Estrian Senate, has called for increased military presence in the Long Sea. Senator Alan Vortan the head of the Mezhist Party was said to have stated: ''The red hound will bite and bite again, you cannot reason with Carentania no more than you can reason with a dog. Force and fire and we can cut the red weed at the stem'' which drawed much ire and anger from the left Socialist Party, Post-Delegationist Party and the Communist Party.
It was when the Communist Party took the chair that the Senate was forced into deadlock as calls and shouts from other senators drowned out their statements. It was at this time when Silvio MacBrady could not restore order that he called a close to proceedings.
Silvio MacBrady was interview leaving Nemedia House:

''What has happened here is a disgrace to Ivernish Politics. What seems to have happened is the Senators of Ivernia have forgotten the rights of free speech and absolute political representation that make this High Kingdom sound and strong. The Communist Party today was not allowed to express themselves by the actions of a loud and boorish minority. The right wing of this sentence, particulary the members who were shouting shall be handed verbal and written warnings and we are to reconvene on the morrow. All partys shall get their say in what is admittely a very dividing issue.''

When asked why the Senators would act in such a way Head-Senator Mac Brady said: ''I believe the actions of the communist world have frightened the Ivernish people. They believe, in their fear that communism may sweep away even Ivernia is it is allowed to take root here in any form. There is a great deal of propoganda out there that is instilling this belief even further and I am seeing Mezhism take root as a reaction to this, especially in Estria. But while the Ivrenish Centrist Party does not agree with communists or mezhists we refuse to silence them. We will allow their voice to be heard in Nemedia House.''

The High King of Ivernia Felix Uí Neill has also condemned the actions of some members of the Ivernish Senate also, he stated in a letter to Ard-Senaid Silvio MacBrady himself his displeasure of the ending of political discourse due to ''the low, craven tactic of out-shouting another so the people cannot hear.'' The public letter also stated ''Another action similar to this tomorrow will not be tolerated'' and ''Harsher punishments on the particular senators acting irresponsibly is to be expected if they continue such discourse.''

Hellooooo out there Nemedians! This is Nemedia Talk Radio, coming to ya live from Bán Dair Cathrach! This is me, Theo Hound, your wonderful host.

So any Ivernian not living under a rock these past few days has noticed about a 100% increase in soldiers running about Tara Castle, and no, Bervenia's not going crazy as usual; it's actually some world conference cause... you guessed it! Reds acting up again. Havenshire this time. I know, I know, everyone thought Crazy Carentania was gonna pick the first fight. But every master has his hound, and for this talk, you've got Theo Hound. AROOOOOOOOO!

It all started cause some Fennian's looking for Red blood, you know the 'red' i'm talkin' about, down in Himyar got sidetrack by some wolfpacks from Havenshire. Ouch! Wouldn't want to be on the end of one of those teeth. Maybe we should ask that Havenshire be muzzled. Actually I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's going on up in Tara.

''Why?'' You may ask. ''Why are Fennian's looking for Carentania's blood, why Telora too?'' I mean, Telora, that's like the most peaceful-beatnik town I know. Well it's simple. The Commies are lookin' for a fight you see, so they block off The Jurzan. If we lose our sweet Himyari Oil then the sneaky reds can move in no problem. That's why Ivernia shipped the airships down to the Long Sea to spy on Carentanian and Jurzani ports, to keep an eye on things. See? Even Ivernia's gettin in on the action. It's gonna be a lotta fun getting ourselves killed in some desert over all this, let me tell you. The Great War's a-comin' children, and it's gonna make the August Catastrophe look like your sisters fighting over the hairspray can on a Saturday night!

Well I've bored your pants off enough for now am I right? Of course I am. I'm gonna hit you up with some tunes, and then we're gonna have an interview with a scientist who's going to that South Pole Base! Sounds like a good time to get outta the Northern Hemisphere to me, I hear this Ivernish Winter is going to be a bitch!

And with that Nemedia, here's a tune for that drive home...

IVERNIAN BUDGET UNDERWAY.
The coalition of the Ivernian Centrist Party and the Christian Democrat Party have announced that the date for the Budget Announcement is to be Sunday December 2nd. This Budget is following a year of fragile growth made by the Ivernish economy after the damage done by the events of the August Catastrophe. Leader of the Senate, Centrist Party leader Silvio MacBrady has spoken to the press on some of the details of the Budget; ''Unfortunately as you know I am not permitted to say too much regarding the Budget as we will be constantly fine tuning it all the way up to the 2nd, but I can assure you that the promises I made 3 years ago when I ran for my Senate seat shall be upheld, and I promise that Health Services and Education, especially Primary School Education, shall recieve priority. But unfortunetly, the growth we have experienced in Ivernia this year was not enough, and so we must press on with cuts.'' Leader of the Opposition, and the leader of the Labour Party, Brandon Lahey, said ''The noble effort of protecting education and public health is to be acknowledged, however, I must draw the line at the damage being done to small businesses. The union labourer and small business owners are being stifled with more levys and more taxes, especially when the Ivernian people have brought the Ivernian economy back into the black. I would rather Silvio MacBrady skimmed more off the top; The larger companies and corporations of Ivernia should be taking a larger blow.


PRINCE ELECTOR OF JUSTICE, DEFENCE AND EQUALITY EVAN MACGRATH SHUNS WORLDS VIEW ON HOMOSEXUALITY.
Following reports from scientists around the world concerning homosexuality as a perceived ''mental health disorder'' Prince Elector Evan MacGrath has made sure to remind the world of ''Ivernia's freedom given to it's gay community and the lack of persecution in this High Kingdom.'' Evan MacGrath said that ''the nations of the world need to recognise homosexual rights.'' He hoped those recieving ''prejudice or even persecution should emigrate to a nation who recognises them as equal human beings.'' The High Church of Ivernia condoned the announcement.


WEATHER REPORT FROM MÉT ÍVERNIANN FOR IVERNIA
In this week we have seen the first snowfalls in Ivernia.
In Formoria. Dawn City has seen up to 3cm of snow. This snowfall is expected until late January where the temperatures with rise and give way to much rainfall. Temperatures will be ranging from -3C to 3C for the next fortnight.

Nemedia should be expecting snowfall in 2-3 weeks but the snow will be very light in lower and western Nemedia. Rainfall expected to be heavy and unfortunetly this may lead to sleet fall. Temperatures will be raging from -1Cto 4C on the Formorian border and 0C to 7C for the rest of Nemedia.

Milesia should expect a westerly wind, not a northerly one, and so temperatures will not drop below zero too much throughout the Winter. Heavy rainfall expected from now until Spring. The Autumn Storms have thankfully subsided and the Milsian maritime border shall be much calmer. Temperatures ranging from 4 to10C.

Estport has has a very mild, dull, wet summer and a very mild, wet winter is expected. The North-Westerly Wind blowing into Estria will stay prevalent throughout the winter, bringing rain. Temperatures ranging from 2 to 4C.

Bervenia should expact snowfall in 2 to 3 weeks and light snowfalls until January. Temperatures ranging from -2 to 4C.


ROCKET TESTS IN SOUTHRON GERMANIAN NATIONS
In this week both Weisseriech and Danmark have been reported to have been conducting public rocket tests, with the Danish test failing dangerously and even infringing on a neighbours airspace. Prince-Elector Evan MacGrath was called to respond;
''These recent events only prove that the future of military technological advancement is in the aerospace sector. Not only does Ivernia already have the AME-Spéirclaíomh in full operational use, but also in full use by the Ivernian military. The High Kingdoms's shrewd investments are paying off. I am proud to say our aerospace sector maintains Ivernia's air power.''
