Potenzia annexes Veneti Marsei

Following the collapse of the government of Veneti marsei, the Potenzians have annexed Veneti Marsei's territory.

In a statement on Thursday, the Potenzian government announced that the annexation was 'a necessary step to ensure stability and security in the region'.

They then called on the international community 'to respect our decision and to work with us to support the people of Veneti Marsei as they transition to becoming citizens of Potenzia' and that they were 'committed to ensuring that their rights and freedoms are protected'.

Potenzian hackers expose security flaws in nuclear weapons system

Potenzia's nuclear weapons system was broken into on Friday by hackers seeking to expose fatal security flaws in the system - the hackers were reportedly flummoxed when they discovered that the system's password was simply 'Password123'.

At a press conference the next morning, Potenzia's cybersecurity experts talked about the incident seriously but once it became clear that the press were treating the incident as a humorous occurrence, one expert then joked that 'we'll be changing our password to 'password1234' from now on', before then stating that 'We want to make sure that our nuclear weapons are secure and can't be hacked by anyone, even a grandma on Facebook'.

Potenzia claims territory in Djibouti to combat piracy

Potenzia has annexed territory in Djibouti near the Bab al-Mandab Strait in Africa to combat the pirate activity that is so abundant in that region.

NEWS FROM THE ANTILLES COMMONWEALTH

Piracy

The Antillean military operation in the Lesser Antilles to stamp out piracy has been successful.

On Thursday at 5:36 in the evening, the pirates surrendered to the Antillean military, who now control all of the islands in the Lesser Antilles.

Claudius Prospere was appointed the provisional leader of the Lesser Antilles, while the region underwent its transition into a full province of the Commonwealth - a transition which was completed today.

Flags of the Commonwealth have been hoisted all across the islands.

Nuclear weapons

Winston Mortimer, the Antillean Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Peter Quinn, the Minister for Defence, visited the headquarters of the International Nuclear Disarmament Pact in Nassau.

The ministers presented the INDP with a report of the nuclear disarmament process.

According to the report, nearly all nuclear weapons possessed by the Antillean Commonwealth have been destroyed.

Elections

General election

Linus Karl Okelson, the new Prime Minister of Skelleftella, has formed a coalition comprising of the Social Liberal Party, the Social Democrats, and the Greens.

This grouping of centre-left parties is one of two major coalitions in the Parliament of Skelleftella.

The other coalition is comprised of various centrist and rightist parties, including the Liberal Conservatives, the Christian People's Party and the Centre.

This coalition is led by Maria Karolyn Eriksen (of the Liberal Conservatives), who is the official Leader of the Opposition.

PNDCH-34

Celebrations have taken place all over Skelleftella, as cases of the PNDCH-34 virus decrease due to increasing vaccination rates.

It is estimated that over 90,000 Skelleftellans are getting vaccinated every day.

The country continues to export its vaccines to foreign countries.

Greenland

In Northern Greenland, the Skelleftellans built several military bunkers and air bases - this provoked 4 days of violent riots by the people living there who were unhappy with what they perceived to be a Skelleftellan 'occupation' of their territory.

On Monday, however, a peace agreement was signed by both sides - the terms of the agreement now give Northern Greenland much more autonomy to govern themselves.

League of Nations founded

Skelleftella has founded a new international organisation known as the League of Nations (LON) aimed at promoting peace between nations of the world. The organisation's charter has been drawn up and the LON is now looking for a suitable headquarters.
