Narður hit by 'apocalyptic' cyclone Flash floods on the Suinian holiday island of Narður have left 42 people dead after rivers broke their banks amid a cyclone that smashed cars and brought down bridges. The worst affected area was in and around the city of Denigr in the island's northeast - a ferry port and popular destination in the summer months. Pictures showed torrential rain, with streets submerged in muddy floodwaters and rivers bursting their banks. "We're at maximum alert," Karl Arnsvein, an official from the Civil Protection Authority in Narður told RAI radio station. "We haven't seen a situation as extreme as this, perhaps for decades. Especially because it's been across the whole island."

In the Drottninggården area, most of the precipitation will come as rain, but this may turn into snow towards evening, when the wind will become more northerly.

King Bjorn II dies in his sleep His Majesty, King Bjorn II, has died peacefully in his sleep at Ostmere Castle. The official announcement from Ostmere, given at 1045 GMT, said the King retired in his usual health, but passed away in his sleep and was found dead in bed by a servant. He was 86, and was known to have been suffering from a worsening lung condition. Prince Ragnvald, who is at the Royal hunting lodge, immediately becomes King at the age of 41. He has been informed of his father's death, and is preparing to return to Drottninggården, but a thunderstorm has delayed the departure of his plane. She is expected back tomorrow afternoon, when he will take the Royal Oath which will seal his accession to the throne.

Hennes Majestet Dronningen av Østvegs Dronningensfjorden Slottet Kongeriket Østveg Kjære Christina, I write to you personally as both a friend and neighbor. I felt it was more appropriate to hear from a fellow monarch than to receive an impersonal and typical communique from my Government. I first wish to send you my deepest condolences for the death of your father. He was a man that truly established himself as one who knew how to live the fullest of lives. It was a great honor to have spoken to him personally in my youth, albeit the young age of nine years old that I was. His reign is one that exemplified an era of peace between our nations, and one that I hope you and I can continue to subscribe to. I wish you the greatest of luck in the future challenge as Queen of Vestrland, a challenge that shall test your resolve as both a woman and a human being on a daily basis. Do not fret as the difficulties of life can be frequent, but hold resolve in the small things. Particularly, keep the warmth of the smiles of the youth of your nation, the inspiration you can deliver to the people you will come to admire and love. My door is always open to you Christina, and I certainly hope that we and our nations can be the strongest of friends.

New National Park "King Thorir" national park opens in january, and will be the first and only national park of Suionia. Part of Suðrland county's archipelago will in a few weeks become Suionia's national park, after the government made its final decision on Thursday, confirms Minister Lårs Vega. "This is a very important area along the Suionian coast line," says Vega. There is a diverse selection of rare species both under and above water in this area. Therefore I think it is the right decision for the government to give this area status as a national park, the minister explains. The only detail that remains before the area is granted its new status is for King Ragnvald to formalize the decision, an event that is scheduled for August 23. "King Thorir national park will be situated in the area south and east of Køikly, south of Suionia.

Arts Festival of Northern Suionia Ukastad. First held in 1950, this festival is the region's largest cultural event, reflecting the many faces of Arctic Suionia, and its cultural links to the outside world, through music, theatre, dance and art exhibitions, as well as performances for children. A top Suionian orchestra, modern dance and fiery world music all feature on this year's programme, which boasts 25 Suionian productions and artists from 22 countries. New voices from the North, such as those of Jukar, Marie e Rocca Fugr, will also be performing. This year: 20-29 February 1954. Immigration keeps fishing towns alive Dozens of Suionia communities in coastal and rural areas are becoming increasingly dependent on immigrant labour as more and more local youth flock to the cities. Fish farming and agriculture can’t find enough workers within Suionia alone, while small towns with plummeting populations are being kept alive by immigrants. Meanwhile, many young Vestrlanders have been criticized for spurning industrial jobs and taking welfare handouts instead. Despite the major increase in labour immigration, many communities are still struggling to survive. Likøa in Vinland saw the biggest increase in foreign workers over the four-year period, with 142 new Europeans arriving. Yet the town’s population only increased overall by 107. It’s one of many areas being propped up by foreign immigration while the number of local inhabitants drops. “Labour migration is crucial for the development of our businesses,” said Christian Likir Jensen, mayor of Likøa. “Generally, we have insufficient labour in many industries, both private and public. We need labour migration.”

King returns after lengthy voyage The Royal Family has returned safely from their six-month tour to the forests to a rapturous welcome in Drottninggården. Thousands flocked to the banks of the River Ketilseyrr to see the Royal Fergus bringing the King home. Ships' sirens and factory hooters welcomed the King and his two children, Prince Ragnvald and Princess Ragnhild. They spent most of the journey on the ship's saluting platform to wave at the crowd and take photographs. Ex-general escapes death sentence A military court in Drottninggården has sentenced the leader of the extremist Republican Army (RA) to life imprisonment. Former general Anlaf Selson wept, smiled and then laughed with relief. It was widely expected he would receive the death penalty for leading an organisation violently opposed to Suionian government. The panel of nine judges at the Höll af Réttlæti had found him guilty of five capital charges, including planning the failed coup in Anders in April last year. But to everyone's amazement, the presiding judge announced there were "extenuating circumstances" surrounding the case and the court became a big mess. There was no attempt to restore order in the courtroom. The judges withdrew without actually reading out the sentence, which, it later emerged, is life imprisonment.

No more! Chancellor Niclas Raahauge will not seek reelection, according to an official communiqué released this Monday. He formally announced his decision on a message which appeared the official Drottninggården News. Raahauge, 51, who is departing from the Office of the Kingdom he was elected to in February 1949, later confirmed his intentions to the Observer. “After careful thought and consideration, I have decided not to seek re-election for PM. The political scenario of the last months showed me that this country needs a new PM. I plan on continuing to work for a brighter future for this nation and my region of origin, but not as Suionia’s head of Government,” PM Raahauge said.

The High Kingdom of Ivernia is extremely concerned by recent news from the Kingdom of Vestrland. Closing of all borders so immediately, is such a bold and rash decision the High Kingdom wonders what catastrophie has led to this situation.

With no ability to access borders, ports and airports of Vestrland, the High Kingdom of Ivernia has no choice but to end all trade between the two nations, including state purchases from the Aodh-Mór Corporation by the Kingdom of Vestrland.

As part of that contract, several Ivernish instructor pilots were stationed in Vestrland for the past month, training your pilots in the use of such equipment as it was prepared and shipped to Vestrland. The High Kingdom of Ivernia demands their safe return to Ivernia. They are members of the Ivernish military and their immediate return is non negotiable.

The Empire of Valkany is sure of Vestrland's best intentions. While this has also hurt our interests as Vestrland is a neighboring nation a trade partner with a significant number of Valkanians living in Vestrland we will assist Vestrland's government to resolve any crisis or problem severe enough to cause Vestrland to make this radical decision we will not accept any foreign intervention in our most trusted neighbor and ally's sovereign lands. However we do beg for an explanation if possible to appease both us and other European nations as this decisions has caused some most unfortunate implications to the entirety of Europe.

None the less, we thank Vestrland for its timely response and retraction of broad economic and diplomatic offense.

We need more teachers! We need more teachers, specific goals for what the children should learn, and free core-hours at daycare for four-five year-olds, says researcher Jane Kirn. Investing in children's learning at an early stage is the most effective tool we have when trying to provide Suionian children with equal opportunities, explains Kirn, Professor of Social Economy at the Business School at the University of Drottninggården.
