National Assembly Votes Yes on Referendum Zero, Presidium Vetoes
The Presidium of the National Assembly invoked it's Veto power today when it denied the National Assembly the power to remove the term limitation from the office of Presidency as well as increase Presidential powers. To counter the unsavory sentiment from this unpopular action, the Presidium announced today that "The Madame President wishes to execute a plan of democratic reform. Legalizing democratic dictatorship is not going to accomplish true democracy."

Madame President Marjhan Visariya has not commented on the Presidium's action, and the executive office seems more concerned with matters involving Northern Sinhai.

Other referenda are being distributed through citizen council's throughout the nation, with several approaching the required number of signatories. Among these referenda are the legalization of private gun ownership, which includes civilian-grade military hardware, the legalization of prostitution, and the legalization, nationalization, and expansion of Sinhai's opium and cocaine industry.


SDF Assaults Sai Yok, PIP Collapsed 2 Weeks Prior
The SDF today launched it's assault on the communist stronghold of Sai Yok, deploying over two thousand troops in the operation in an attempt to secure strategic locations throughout the city, including Sai Yok Regional Airport, Sai Yok Central Station, and the Commerce District.

Initial reports from refugees and deserters suggest that the PIP regime collapsed nearly two weeks ago, and that the government was just a facade for anarchy. In the wake of the regimes collapse, various moderate factions have attempted to establish an interim regime for the proto-government, and the Unity Party has begun negotiations with these minority parties in order to find some sort of common ground to end the conflict.

Despite talks with moderate parties, remnants of the extremist Communist regime have begun systematically terrorizing the Northern Sinese countryside, with several murders having been committed. Several insurgents within Southern Sinhai have surrendered themselves to the government and have been offered amnesty in return for information regarding their radical brothers, whose appalling actions and the instability and failure of Sinese communism the likely reason for their change of heart.​


Unity Party Creates Humanitarian Drive Nicknamed "Save the North"
The Unity Front has established a humanitarian drive to distribute goods such as food, water, clothing, money, medicine, and other vital necessities to our Northern Sinese brothers in the wake of the disaster that was Sinese Communism. Citizens throughout the nation are being encouraged to donate, and Madame President Marjhan has stated: "It is our duty as citizens to do everything we can to honor our families, to support our community, and to serve our state. In these changing times, Sinhai has an opportunity to stand united as one. One State, One Soul. Give to your fellow Sinese, citizen or not, as you would give to God."

Citizens may contribute to the humanitarian effort at their citizen councils, or at local government offices. Resident contributions will be noted in any future applications for citizenship.

Hajr, On Behalf of the Unity Front
While what is fast becoming a certain reunification of our state is an important internal affair, the Unity Front front realizes that this process will likely strain the economy severely and, should the process fail, it will likely decimate popular support for the Party. Given this, the Unity Front will gladly accept any aid the Sultanate of Hajr can provide to our effort.

Sincerely,
Arun Iyengar
Public Relations Liaison

Battle for Sai Yok Continues
The battle for the streets of Sai Yok has continued today, marking the third day in the ongoing urban conflict between SDF forces and the PIP Remnant. Amidst refugees fleeing the city and a collapsing local government, SDF forces are more akin to a foreign peacekeeping force than a national army.

With the cumulative body count rising to two hundred, the SDF has begun dividing the city into districts in order to purge the town of resistance, which continually threatens the commoners life in Sai Yok. The PIP Remnant has abandoned all hope at winning in a conventional war against the SDF, and has pulled back into the shadows of alleys and abandoned apartment blocks, holding Sinese families hostage in order to buy themselves time against the SDF assault.

Despite the growing conflict between SDF forces and the communist insurgency, discussions with local political parties continues in order to negotiate an end to the chaos and to create some semblance of organization. Among the parties being negotiated with are the Democratic Front, a left-winging social democrat party; and the Confederate Party, a radical liberal party with an objective to limit government rights and increase personal liberties.

Discussions with these minority groups continues, though a meaningful end to separation of the nation has yet to be concluded.

Boy Eaten Alive at Local Zoo by Panda, Panda Awaits Trial
Yesterday afternoon young Tima Kasher, age 8, was enjoying his time at the Debal Munincipal Zoo, just outside the panda exhibit when tragedy struck the Kasher family.

"I know that there are signs that prohibit feeding the pandas," mother Kara Kasher stated earlier today in an interview, "but I never thought that breaking that rule would mean my child would be eaten alive!"

Security officials have closed down the exhibit and a full investigation into this tragic event is underway to determine if the fault indeed originates with the panda Sasha, or if the fault lies with mistreatment of the animal by Zoo faculty.

"If we find out that it was Zoo officials mistreating the animal, the public can rest assured that Zoo managment will be handled by the BoE," stated a spokesman for the Debal PD earlier today, "Either way, I wouldn't expect to see Sasha at the exhibit again."

The panda Sasha awaits the end of the investigation before a citizens court sentences the animal, a member of an endangered species, to death for the capital crime of murder.

Humanitarian Projects "Save the North" Receives International Interest
The Sultanate of Hajr yesterday offered a degree of support for the Unity Front's humanitarian project to mitigate the suffering of Northern Sinese. In addition to this, the project is also receiving some interest from the our neighbors in Khalistan.

The humanitarian project is expected to be an expensive undertaking for the Unity Party, and Madame President Marjhan Visariya is expected to request economic support in the endeavor from a superpower state.

Following recent Panda incidents, it is only natural that the International Community express concern over methods that may or may have not been used to care for captured wildlife on display in the public setting. Zoos offer an educational snapshot in to our natural past and present, with which comes a burdening responsibility that not every community, or country, can commit too.

Please pursue a fair result to this tragedy, one that puts both man and beasts safety in to account.

To: WCS
While we understand that it is the WCS creed to commit itself to animal safety, it is the Unity Front's creed to commit itself to the security of the people. While many argue that an animal acts on instinct and not purpose, the same can be said of those deemed criminally insane; and yet the end result is still the same. Such a dangerous animal cannot be allowed to remain in the zoo, nor can it be allowed to be released into the wild. The only capacity with which we may retain the panda is in restraint from further interaction with people; which is arguably not in the animals best interest.

As this trial will set a precedent for future cases with dangerous animals, it is the states job to consider whether it should terminate the life of a dangerous animal, such as a feral dog or crocodile; or if it should set the precedent for tolerance of such animals actions against the Sinese populace. Factors such as the endangerment of the species is not a valid factor concerning the verdict; much as it would not be a valid factor in the trial of a human.

Also, security measures at the zoo, which had been incident-free for six years, are being stepped up to prevent future incidents from occurring despite the decrease in human-animal interaction that will result from such changes and detract from the interactive quality of the zoo.

President Marjhan Bypasses National Assembly for Varjhali Unification
Madame President Marjhan Visariya today issued Executive Order 17265 bypassing a vote by the National Assembly and causing some dissent within the Unity Party.

However, the mood within the first, third, fifth and sixth Kurasprastha Citizen Council's are extremely positive and supportive of the Presidential action which will effectively unify the nation by Friday, regardless of Unity Party talks with political parties in the region.

The Madame Presidents action comes following the Democratic Front's demand to be represented in future politics, and the liberalization of party dynamics in Varjhali government. The Confederate Party seconded the Democratic Front's demand to allow multiple political parties, and talks with northern Varjhali political groups have ground to a halt. President Marjhan stated publicly that "This is not the time for half-measures, filibustering, and procrastination. This is why Varjhal has banned multiple political parties, competition between parties only damages representation and action on behalf of the people. It is time for petty, selfish squabbles to end, and for a united Varjhal to be realized."

EO-17265 authorizes the creation of three pradesh for Northern Varjhal, as well as citizen councils, citizenship offices, and the expansion of the DoI and BoE to encompass the region. EO-17265 further expands the Union Standard Law to encompass the three new pradesh, and amends the National Defense Act to include the pradesh as well. EO-17265 also calls for the National Assembly to enact reforms that will allow full northern integration into government.

Judges in Talara Trial Calls For Character Witnesses
The panel of judges responsible for the trial of the insurgent Ashok Talara have today requested to review Talara's character witnesses, acknowledging his plea of insanity and looking for credible insight that would support Talara's plea. Despite continued public demands for Talara's execution, protests over the trial have become smaller since the trial began and violence has ceased.

The trial of Ashok Talara remains an important trial for the state, despite the significantly decreased threat posed by insurgents on the homefront. It is also the first trial of a Varjhali national that has attained international attention, and is a showcase for Varjhali justice to the world.

Insurgency Continues Near Dai Viet Border
Insurgents have fled from northern Varjhal and begun taking refuge in the highlands near the Dai Viet border, their extensive knowledge of the terrain and complex supply lines causing the VDF to strain resources in combating this extensive alternate pattern warfare.

The VDF is considering alternative methods for combating the guerilla-style warfare being waged by the communist remnant and insurgents. The VDF has refused to comment on the options being considered, but insists that the threat from insurgents is a "minor speedbump to unification, and nothing that would seriously destabilize the process."

Democratic Front Protests President Marjhan's Action
The Democratic Front, a centrist democratic socialist party, protested EO-17265 today, calling the move by Madame President Visariya an undemocratic action to take away personal freedoms from the Northern Sinese society.

Negotiations between the Unity Party and the Democratic Front have broken down in lieu of EO-17265, which essentially usurps all political power in Northern Sinhai and establishes full government organization over the territory. The Democratic Front fears that the process will draw wide popular support, and that the support base for the Democratic Front will be significantly decreased.

Despite increased tensions and continued insurgency within Sai Yok, Unity Front officials have rethought their opinion on EO-17265 and consider it a favorable move that will fast-track unification without limiting Sinese participation in government. Some question whether or not Northern Sinese communists may become politicians under the current Sinese system, however the government has ignored these fears and has safeguards in place to ensure such events do not occur.

Unity Front Invites NGO's and Foreign Aid Alike
The Unity Front has sent out a formal invitation to NGO's throughout the world, as well as to foreign nations in a formal request for economic assistance in the stabilization of Northern Sinhai.

Among those nations that will be invited, Oikawa is considered the most prominent and important potential contributor. The Unity Front has yet to make any overtures to officially joining the LFS and Cooperation Sphere, and this humanitarian operation may be a testing ground for Sinhai to gauge the worth of alliances.

Investigation Concerning Zoo Slaughter Ends, Panda On Trial
The investigation concerning the slaughter of 8 y/o Tima Kasher has come to an end today, despite environmentalist activists call for more investigation into the Debal Zoo's management. The Debal PD have officially blamed unsatisfactory safety precautions and the panda's history of unsavory human contact as the cause of the attack.

"The boy was feeding the panda," a Debal PD spokesman stated earlier today, "causing the panda to become hungry. When the boy fell in, the panda assumed he was another snack. The panda was trained to distinguish human from meal, and this attack was almost entirely the fault of the panda."

The panda has been sentenced to execution by nerve gas for the crime of murder. The government has stated that it will support the panel of judges in this decision, and that "no animal should be treated with more respect than any human. We may hold humans to higher standards, but we should respect their dignity. The law is in place to defend people as well as it is to punish people, there should be no reason that a bear can get away with a vicious murder when a retard cannot."

The panel of judges have waived the panda's right to appeal. The execution will be broadcast on UBN at 9:04 p.m. tonight.

Private Gun Ownership Referendum Hits the Floor, National Assembly Votes
The National Assembly is scheduled to vote on a referendum today that will permit private gun ownership of civilian grade weapons. The referendum will permit the ownership of any weapon that utilizes less than a certain yield of propellant, certain types of ammunition, and explicitly prohibits weapons with the capacity for being full automatic weapons.

Criminals caught with weapons that have been modified to be fully automatic, regardless if loaded or not, will be eligible to be prosecuted under conspiracy to commit treason, punishable by execution.

The referendum is expected to pass, and is likely to boost the arms industry within Sinhai. If passed, foreign companies would be allowed to legally sell their civilian-grade weaponry throughout the nation.

President Marjhan Redefines Sinhai, Creation of the Union
Madame President Marjhan Visariyas today announced that the Unity Front will officially be dissolved, and that the SinhaiUnion will replace it as the official, united nation of Sinhai, representing a region that has been fragmented by conflict for years.

The Sinhai Union will comprise 47 million Sinese, including 11 million Northern Sinhai who are anticipated to begin participation in government and apply for citizenship. The Sinhai Union is currently in the process of reorganizing it's structure to handle the new khet, which will bring Sinhai to a total of 9 khet.

Private Gun Ownership Legalized, Gun Sales Through Roof
With the passage of the Private Gun Ownership referendum, gun sales have sky rocketed, with over four thousand units having been purchased within the past six hours. The market for the previously illegal private gun ownership is expected to increase dramatically, and international companies are invited to import their goods into Sinhai for the sales of civilian-grade weaponry.

In addition to the sale of weapons, ammunition sales have increased monumentally, with over two hundred thousand bullets having been purchased within the past six hours as well. Citizens eagerly await the passage of the referendum liberalizing citizen defense of property, which will increase the citizens ability to use their weapons in the defense of their property.

Police have expressed concerns over the re-distribution of weaponry to non-citizens, but have noted that the referendum grants police the authority to conduct routine investigations into citizens purchasing a questionable amount of weaponry.

Union Armament League

Private Gun Ownership is a staple of individual liberty, and thus a freedom that Zivs both support and defend internationally. Životinje as well as the Union Armament League celebrates with Varjhal in this - a landmark achievement for Europe.

Firearm Industry investors from the Militant Republic of Životinje are itching to empower Varjhal, or more specifically its ready handed citizens. The durability of Union Smallarms should be no foreign notion in due time, we hope to be amongst the first to do business within this emerging marketplace.

Trial of Talara Ends, Guilty
The trial of the radical insurgent Ashok Talara has come to an end this morning when the panel of judges finished hearing the defendants case for innocence, which the panel of judges found to not be enough to disprove the evidence. Ashok Talara has been convicted on all counts, and will be executed by gun line tonight. Execution will be broadcast on UBN at 10:00 pm.

Amidst the ruling, hundreds of citizens eagerly awaiting the verdict began to cheer, while others protested more fervently. Police dispersed the protesters peacefully, and the Unity Party has announced that this is the most significant case conducted by a unified Sinhai, and will set the precedent for Sinhai's future tolerance of it's former terror-spreading regime.

PIP Remnant forces have called this trial another show trial conducted by a repressive regime, and have called for further protests against government oppression. Police have tracked down the origin of the PUP broadcast and have made several arrests.

Sinhai Celebrates Unification by Increasing Counterinsurgency Operations
The SDF has conducted over seventy separate operations against PIP units along the Dai Viet border today in an effort to quell the insurgency. Hundreds of former PIP Army personnel have fallen victim to VDF attacks, and early reports suggest that the SDF is using unorthodox weaponry in the suppression of the insurgency.

Popular support for the PIP regime in Northern Sinhai is very low, and new citizens have publicly disavowed any connection to the old party. It has yet to be seen whether or not members of existing political parties in the area will transition into the new Sinese government, or call for non-participation.

Sinese Defense Force Suspects Vangalan Link
The SDF has today announced that the PIP was suspiciously funded, and that PIP assets alone were not capable of supporting continued resistance against the Unity Party.

While no solid evidence has yet been found, fingers are being pointed at the only regional Communist regime with enough power to support a communist resistance, the Vangalan Communist Party.

There is no word whether or not the Unity Party will officially announce it's intention to ascertain the Union's stance in relation to Vangala, and the UBN will continue to report on the situation.

Politics Delayed, Unity Party Grows Tired
Several motions to increase international ties with the outside world, most notably the Council of Nations and Oikawan Empire, have stalled for reasons which the Unity Party has not released. Unity Party officials say that they are 'concerned' with this apathy to a new Sinhai, and possibilities for re-evaluating foreign policy are being discussed within the Presidium of the National Assembly.

Despite successful talks with Mayaland and Khalistan, the Unity Party is concerned that it's foray into the international field is being unnecessarily impeded by the apathy of significant powers.

While no solutions to the problem have been stated by the Unity Party, talks within the Presidium could result in a change of foreign policy that could affect regional politics, in particular a decrease in conservative acceptance of Oikawan influence in the area should the Presidium decide that the time is right for a more pro-Western approach to Sinese foreign policy.

Llama Population Protected By National Law

You must be registered for see images

In an amazing precedent, the Unity Party has enacted it's first environmental law which will make it a national crime to cause harm to or to keep unregistered domesticated llama's, to slaughter for the consumption of, or to retain with the purpose of using for labor, any wild or domesticated llama's.

Llama's have remained an animal that is unique to the region, and have been an icon of the Varjhali people for centuries, especially since their inclusion into governments when they were declared the national animal for Sinhai in the late 1800's.

Environmentalists are excited, with pro-government rallies applauding the governments recent passage of the law, and calling for further government action in the defense of the Sinese environment, which has begun suffering after years of unregulated industrialization.

Adulthood and Citizenship Law Reaffirmation
Various referendums have hit the floor, including the introduction of prostitution and pornography, opium and cocaine production and use, and other referenda which are in the process of acquiring signatories. These referenda all deal with a slue of tentative ages, and have alerted the government to a grey area in it's law that arises with a discrepancy between it's legal adulthood law and eligibility for citizenship law.

This discrepancy has been cited to be a significant enough concern for the National Assembly to need to create a unified law that will create a hard age barrier between non-citizen youth, and citizen-eligible adults.

Currently, the legal age that permits acts such as consumption of alcohol, marriage, and driving is 16, while the age which permits non-citizens to apply for citizenship is 20. The laws which allow for citizenship require a person to have ended their mandatory education, and require a citizen to have been working for the state for no less than 8 years. This work can take the form of a city employee, a teacher, or a soldier in the VDF.

However, while mandatory education ends at 20, there is much popular support to reduce mandatory education to 16, with suggested education continuing to 20 while careers with the state and military will begin with officer training or internships that will provide a specialized focus alternative to suggested education; creating a more specialized and experienced workforce.

Some issues concerning this are the wide variety of changes required, however counter-arguments pose that to change he legal marriage age may invalidate many marriages, as well as damage portions of the economy, such as liquor and spirits.

Government Rules on Age
The National Assembly ruled on the question of age differences between citizenship and majority today, in favor of reducing potential citizenship age to 16. While it is unlikely that this will increase the number of citizens In Sinhai for several years, the National Assembly has admitted that this change in policy will necessitate laws to govern the new period between the ages of 16 and 20, and is in the process of creating laws that will allow for 16 year olds and higher to begin their citizenship qualification process earlier.

When international commentary inquired whether or not the new law would prevent those considered to be minors in other nations from being prostitutes in Sinhai, the Unity Party commented "the sex industry will be heavily regulated, with a government-sponsored union requiring all workers in the industry to meet certain health requirements, as well as ensuring their safety. Should minors seek to apply for the industry, they will not be denied, that is their personal liberty; but they will be fully provided for to the best of the Union's ability."

Sex and Drugs
The National Assembly today passed two more referendums that hit the floor, however decreed that these resolutions must comply with all previous statutes passed by the Assembly.

The prostitution and pornography referendum will create a new, entirely privatized sex market under the purview of a government union which will ensure the safety and health of all workers, and create regulations to safeguard against abuse of the system; such as requiring all workers to use contraceptives and creating for special circumstances that would increase government power against those that would commit crimes against workers in this new industry.

Prostitution and pornography, however, will need to comply with prior statutes passed by the Unity Party which explicitly prohibit public displays of affection between two or more members of the same gender. Pornography supporters opposed this, citing the value of certain activities that may involve two or more women; but the government stands firm on the issue, retorting that "we can not create a double standard between the genders, we can only seek to preserve them by continuing to obey our statutes." The prostitution market will also be prohibited from homosexual activity, though it is expected that there is little demand for it within the populace.

Additionally, the government recently passed laws that would authorize the expansion of opium production to increase the amount of medical supplies produced by the Sinhai Union. However, the referendum that would legalize the use of recreational drugs was prohibited by the Unity Party, citing the passage of the Anti-Smoking Law which prohibits the sale of cigarettes and cigars in the nation; providing only for the use of hookah in regulated shops.

Citizen Shoots Trespasser, Investigation Begins
Unakan Lin, 42, has been arrested today pending the investigation of the murder of two individuals whose names have yet to be released by Sri Rama PD. Gupta claims that the two individuals were trespassing on marked property despite numerous warnings, and that he used his weapon to defend his home and family.

This case cites a precedent in Sinese Law that the Unity Party had expected would arise, the use of a privately owned, yet legal, firearm in the murder of another Sinese. With the Citizen Property Defense Act referendum quickly approaching the National Assembly floor, the Sri Rama Judiciary Ministry has decided to stall on prosecution and continue investigation until the law can be completed, despite outcries from conservatives who call the recent gun liberalizations a 'crime against the communal welfare of Sinhai.'

National Assembly Ratifies Agreement with Mayaland
The National Assembly today affirmed the agreement struck between the Mayaland government and the Union Foreign Office, which will remove tariffs on the majority of products imported from Mayaland. While this will initially decrease government revenue, sales taxes on goods sold and an increase in market activity should compensate for the reduction in tariffs and increase market stability.

The Unity Party is also expected to sign a similar agreement with Khalistan shortly. However, political issues surrounding improved and reliable energy such as nuclear power are still being pushed by activists who are worried about Sinhai's use of coal and oil cutting into exports, as well as the possibility of one day depleting the resources.

Interest in foreign electronics companies constructing manufacturing plants in Sri Rama is slowly increasing, and the Unity Party is hopeful that a company will accept the contract shortly. The contract itself is worth two hundred million Sinese credits, which are valued relatively strong on the international currency market, or foreign exchange market.

Government Sponsors NGO in North Sinhai
A recently formed non-profit, non-governmental organization known as the 'Hospital of Mercy' has begun work in Northern Sinhai with the encouragement of Unity Party officials and the Madame President herself.

The Hospitallers, a group affiliated with the Catholic Church in Tibur, has already established several humanitarian camps with donations provided to it by the Unity Party and high income citizens within Sinhai. Public liaison with the Hospital has suggested that the Mission may take several years to entirely accomplish, but that with multilateral government assistance the decaying infrastructure in the region can be quickly restored and the farmland, plagued with years of drought, can be brought back to life.

Khalistani companies have already begun filling contract roles alongside prominent Sinese companies to restore railroads and construct a major road route from Sri Rama to Sai Yok. These are the first steps of what could be a promising cooperation between the two nations.

Fighting in Sai Yok, 8 Insurgents Killed
Despite the end of the PIP and absorption of the former communist area of Sinhai, fighting continues throughout the North. However, fighting within Sai Yok is beginning to take a different path.

Despite overtures on behalf of the Unity party, extremist members of the Democratic Front have refused to disavow their party affiliation and work their way through Citizen Councils to leadership positions. Instead, officials within the Democratic Front have called for armed resistance to the Sinese government as it establishes itself in Sai Yok.

This new wave of fighting erupted today as insurgents attempted to ambush a convoy of SDF soldiers en route to the regional administrative district. SDF forces counter-attacked insurgents, killing eight and forcing insurgents to withdraw. SDF officials have stated that this recent turn in politics in the North is an unsavory reality that they have to deal with, and a twist that will only bring more Sinese lives in danger.

Royalty to Re-Enter Political Field
In a surprising move Somdet Phra Boromma-orasathirat Chao Fa Maha Jutharat Sinhayakutratchakuman (Crown Prince Maha Jutharat) has declared his intention to run for Assemblyman for the Sri Rama Citizen's Council. The Royal family has not participated significantly in politics since 1892 when a new Constitution was passed which limited the the Tsui Dynasty's power.

Crown Prince Maha Jutharat, 27, is an increasingly popular figure in the entertainment media business and is a former serviceman with the SDF after having attained the rank of Captain. The Crown Prince is viewed as a liberal, and has publicly declared his support of Madame President Marjhan Visariya.

Rumors of Attempt of President's Life Dismissed
Rumors of an assassination attempt on the President's life have spread throughout the country yesterday amid chaos as police units were called to the Presidential Palace late Sunday night. With no government explanation for the event, citizens grew concerned and rumors circulated quickly.

However, the Unity Party announced that no such event has occurred, and that all is well in the Presidential Palace; emergency personnel responded to a stroke suffered by one of the President's aides, Chakan Kanyamarn, who passed away early Monday morning. Party officials say that Kanyamarn fell down a flight of stairs and sustained significant damage to internal organs during his stroke, and the Party offers it's condolences to Chakan's family.

Madame President Marjhan Visariya is expected to give a speech tomorrow regarding the issue, and will spend the rest of today mourning the loss of her staff.

Oltremaran King searches for Bride, Looks to Sinhai
Representatives of the King of Oltremare, Francesco Ceretto VII, met today with Somdej Phra Akara Saharat Chaoyuhua , better known as Rama XI of House Tsui. Though the meeting was held in closed doors, Oltremaran officials answered brief questions summarizing the meeting as "promising, a success on behalf of the Crown of Oltremare and the family of Sinhai."

Though the Royal family of Sinhai has remained unrecognized by the Party, relegated to the title of Somdej Phra Chao Yu Hua, or "Uncrowned King" instead of the official title of King Regnant, or Phrabat Somdej Phra Chao Yu Hua.

Early speculations suggest that Phra Chao Worawongse Ther Phra Ong Chao Kessarin Silpajarn, the daughter of Crown Prince Maha Jutharat, age 16, may be the proposed wife of King Ceretto VII, while others point to Chao Fa Mai Maurer, age 34, daughter of Rama XII.

Catholic Archbishop Removed from Office, Charged with Sedition
The Catholic Archbishop of Sri Rama was arrested and stripped of his office Sunday before Easter Mass for supporting Catholic political actions throughout the country and world.

Archbishop Intradit Amarttayakul is charged with sedition for politically supporting the CNSC attempt to ostracize the Oltremaren government for it's actions in removing dissenting Catholic residents.

Though a very unpopular move by the Unity Party given it's timing and severity, the Unity Party has pointed to the fact that Catholic involvement in politics would be a violation of Sinese law, and that Archbishop Amarttayakul was a rogue political element within the nation. "We fully support Oltremaren actions in the name of sovereignty and national defense," an unnamed source within the Unity Party proclaimed earlier today. "To think that the Pope would be allowed to voice his politics in Sinhai in any other fashion than through Citizen Councils is a violation of our own national dignity and sovereignty. Therefore, the Party has forcibly removed an Archbishop directly linked to the Papacy and will be notifying the Pontiff of our new selection."

Whether or not the charge of sedition, punishable by execution, will hold up in court is in question, but Archbishop Amarttayakul's citizenship has been removed according to laws which prevent association with foreign political agencies.

Due to increasing political destabilization in the capital, SDF forces have moved into the mainland districts and are enforcing military law in the city. Courts-martial have replaced civilian courts, and all crimes committed under military jurisdiction will be punished according to military law.

SDF officials have cited decreased police presence, a large population of workers unable to work, and a surge in crime as necessitating the action. Sri Raman police have begun systematically withdrawing to Sri Rama Island despite military barricades being created across from police barricades.

SDF has further imposed an 8 to 8 curfew to ensure that the population will stay indoors and away from crime. The use of lethal force has been authorized in the apprehension of criminals who have participated in violent crimes until martial law has been lifted.

Political Crisis Expands, Unity Party Appoints New President
The Unity party appointed a new President, Datharin Batin on Sunday. As part of a program of reforms aimed at reversing Marjhan Visariya's Presidency, the new President has called for National Assemblymen to step down from their offices and return home, allowing the Presidium and Presidency to work together to rapidly restore the glory of the nation.

SDF Overlord Ahremen Arkhan briefly commented on the move as "surprising" but made no further comments on actions to be taken by the SDF in the coming days. It is expected that the Unity Party will request the head of the Armed Forces to begin an assault of Sri Rama by the end of the week.

Council of Nations Insults Sinhai Sovereignty
Following the Communist takeover of a legitimate regime, and the adjustment of Sinese policy to Moskilden residents and corporations, the Republic of Carentania, a communist stronghold, lodged a formal complaint against the Sinhai Union in the Council of Nations. Supported by other Communist states, a Communist-led assault on recent exercises of Sinhai sovereignty began, and is currently culminating with an attempt to block Sinhai acceptance into the Council of Nations.

Despite the arrogance of the Reds, leaders of major alliances have called this move illogical and stated that the purpose of the CoN was to resolve issues exactly like these. This has made the Unity Party wonder: If the Communists had their way, would they kick members they disagreed with as well?
