KINGDOM OF THE INDUS KNIGHTED

Kingdom of the Indus KLDU, editor of the LDU Regional News Service, has been officially knighted by Speaker of Congress The Sovereign Nation of Texas.

USONIY: AN OBITUARY

Few nations were as loud and opinionated on the LDU's RMB as Usoniy. He showed minimal respect for grammar or courtesy and established himself as the region's premier troll.

His antics sometimes got him into serious trouble. In March he was given an official NationStates moderator warning for "impersonating" Romanum et Britannia Minor (ReBM) by creating an account with a similar name to ReBM purely to annoy him.

In April of this year, he was put on trial on charges of impersonation and flamebaiting - but even though Usoniy's conduct was described as "obnoxious", numerous nations came to Usoniy's aid, and Usoniy was later acquitted.

Usoniy was different things to different people. OF Courscant described him as a "r*tard", while Potenzia KLDU said his posts were "funny" and that people should stop getting offended by them.

Now that he is gone, nations of the LDU (no matter how they felt about Usoniy) must surely acknowledge that his contributions to the regional message board gave us things to talk about every day, which boosted the region's activity. They must surely also acknowledge that his cessation of existence marks the end of an era.

Veneti marsei

Romanum et Britannia Minor

They are believed to be discussing forming some kind of alliance.

A few government insiders have claimed that the alliance will ensure that if one nation in the union is attacked, the rest will be legally obliged to provide significant military aid.

However, the factual accuracy of this claim can so far not be proven.

Potenzian-Roman meeting

Imperator Augustus IV of The Imperium of Romanum et Britannia Minor and Emperor Alán de León of The Imperio of Potenzia are meeting in San lancaster.

Leon was spotted giving Augustus a tour of the grounds of his castle by some journalists.

OTHER NEWS

News from Texas

Numerous members of the USNA terrorist group have been executed in The Sovereign Nation of Texas directly after Texan President Frederick Wallace declared Oklahoma part of Texas.

The process of rebuilding all of the buildings destroyed during the war has begun.

In other news, Wallace has also outlawed private media organisations, leaving Texan state media as the only legal source of news and information in the country.

This has faced some criticism by pro-democracy organisations around the world.

Sjevrean elections

Elections are taking place in Sjevre. The Utega, Socialist, Green, Liberal, Progressive and For Savranakas parties are all participating.

Pan-Pacific States establishes immigration restrictions

The Pan-Pacific States has established a new citizenship & screening test for immigrants and has decided to enforce tighter limits on them.

This has caused droves of protesters to start picketing at immigrant detention camps.

Information Nation sends tanks into destabilised areas of North America

Information nation (I.N.) has sent its military into destabilised areas of North America in an attempt to reestablish order.

Tanks entered the remnants of the now-defunct nations of Usoniy and Campalia a few days ago.

Information Nation has formally claimed the territories owned by Campalia for itself and it has tried to establish a provisional government.

Announcement

Tomorrow, I will be flying to India on vacation, and I will remain there until 13 January 2023. I am uncertain whether I will be able to publish issues of the LDU Regional News Service.

I have sent a telegram to Potenzia KLDU asking him to fill in until I come back, but he has not responded.

Therefore, one of the following two scenarios will happen:

1) Issues of the LDU Regional News Service will continue to be published, but they will not have images as I will be forced to write the issues on mobile
2) Issues of the LDU Regional News Service will not be published until 13 January

Information nation wrote:What does Utega even believe in?

Socially they are progressive
Economically they are conservative
Cultural they are conservative
Foreign relations are open and free, they help as many as possible

They use alot of social networks, certainties, free transport, free universities and schools, etc. On the economic front, they want to change as little as possible while it works. Only when 'the social' comes in between, there are changes. Culturally you have all noticed how often they refer to Jelothin, they try to relive the good times and give back our cultural impressions.

Hey guys, I don’t know much about regional NS politics but, you think we should open our borders again? It feels like our numbers have taken a hit with so many old nations CTE’ing as well. The map was full when I arrived, and now, it feels emptier than ever.

Yeah. I liked this place. The times space colonising and the whole Imperial-Corporate war was fun. Let me know when your political situation clears.

I’m still here. Just kind of busy with life and out of RP ideas. I’ve been silent on RP for a while now. And I’ve been a bit of a silent observer recently. You can have Canada honestly. I don’t want my corpse of a nation to stifle new activity

We are fully aware of it and will reach a decision soon.

No, I'm with Galts on this one. We keep saying "Oh, we're finding a new alliance", but it seems like nothing is being done. At the very least, the decision-making and thought processes of the government concerning this matter (and maybe all non-confidential matters) should be presented to the public of the LDU.

I propose a weekly governmental address, similar to the News Service in the form of a dispatch, which will inform the public of the (non-confidential) matters being discussed within the government of the LDU, and provide more information on more pressing matters.

I don't think enough is happening in this region for that to be happening each week. And besides that, many people are just incredibly busy during this period. But I can tell you that some of the administration are having a discussion right now. On this matter.

Yes you are right.

Foreign Office

Hello everyone i hope all of you are doing good at the moment i felt that i need to address the residents to clear some issues.
-A few days back we had to close our borders due to some security issues because we decided to be no longer a part of “The free bloc” an interregional Alliance the reason due to which we took this decision was because we observed that TFB was not competent enough to protect its allies and some other issues.So now when we were no longer part of an alliance so we were vulnerable or had a chance of getting raided and we did not wanted to take that chance and decided to close our borders until further decisions are made.The reason due to which we are concerned most about our security is that we do not have an active founder that is why we are being very careful all the time and secondly we are very well aware that closing the borders is not a permanent solution and it will affect our regional growth that is why we are going to reopen our borders soon and joining another alliance or forming another one is not an easy task it takes sometime.

Thank you

I would like to open our borders too

Election result

People massifly flocked to the polls. The major places to be disputed were Puola and Sjevre. Whoever wins these two places will take power. However, this race was much closer than expected in Puola. The two winners were going to be the Socialists and the Utega, but who was going to take power was the big question. The first member states vote come in and a winner can be selected; This are the results in these states.

(16 million voters)

Utega 43%

Socialists 25%

Greens 15%

Liberals 10%

Progreziv 6%

For Savranakas 1%

So the government's controversy has played a role, especially in the For Savranakas party, where the former party leader (Karl Joserheim) had to resign early because of sexual abuse and aggression problems. The government will not regain its majority and Solvein Morchands will have to look for a new party to partner with. Perhaps the Socialists who remain the second biggest party in Sjevre though they are thriving in young supporters. Though they will not recieve the position of Prime Minister, they will propably sit in parliament. The current conservative status quo can be changed then.

(9.8 million eligible voters)

Socialists: 35%

Utega 21%

Liberals 14%

Progreziv 13%

Green 9%

For Savranakas 8%

Another huge victory for the Socialists who will once again deliver the councillor. Sergey Sobyanin will be re-elected, but his coalition partners are not yet clear. Sobjanin does not have a positive view towards Utega, so he will have to persuade several small parties. Utega loses votes, but according to Morchands this is due to the bad regional candidate there (Thea Kalunova)

(3,496 million eligible voters)

Socialists: 23%

Utega: 20%

Liberals: 19%

Green: 15%

For Savranakas: 12%

Progreziv: 11%

The most unexpected election result. Subulev Vladimir has seen alot of left movements for the past 5 years. The last regional councilor was the far-right councilor Mtvis Lakarenko, he will have to resign. This swing in popularity again has to do with youth. The Utega can count on the ultra-monarchist state for its votes. The race was extremely close, this is because both parties, Socialists and Utega had the same future plans for the state. They just have different audiences. Which gives the socialists a bit more luck, they have a young croud.

(8.36 Million eligible voters)
Liberals: 48%

Green: 27%

Utega: 11%

Progreziv: 10%

Socialists: 3%

For Savranakas: 1%

Wow, unbelievable what the Liberals are getting as a result here. The growth of the socialists that is happening everywhere is being trumped here by the policies of Anastasia Anavastova who will be re-elected. She is already being dubbed the next Secretary-General candidate for the Liberals. She herself thought that we should not think too far ahead. The Greens won Miskas itself, the most important city in this state. With that they achieved 27%

(1.52 million eligible voters)
Utega: 66%

Socialists: 13%

Progreziv: 9%

Liberals: 6%

Greens: 5%

For Savranakas: 1%

Nothing really changed. Status quo is maintained, this state cannot even count on its own councillor. Fortunately, they are happy with their Sjevrean representatives.

Part two will be released tomorrow. and later this week an electoral map will be coming your way. Hope you liked the first part.

RP: The topple of "Death's head"

After much unrest in the remnants of the old German empire clinging on to territory in Canada, a group of militants from the old days of Randian Columbia have toppled the Imperial government and established Utocratic north america.

The desperate fleeing members of former German nobility, now humbly come and prostrate themselves before Sjevre, Romanum et Britannia Minor and Potenzia, begging to be allowed back to Germany and allowed to set up a properly democratic nation this time.

A democratic German republic will have the economic and political support of Veneti Marsei, so that it may get on its feet.

It will actually be a constitutional monarchy. But we can certainly say that it will be more democratic, I've got no clue how exactly We're even going to repair our cities without economic aid.

RP

Sjevre greatly understands the will to return to the homeland. However, the question is why the nobiliy should return for a democratic state. The high class has made Europe suffer in the past 100 years and more, by theire totalitarian regime. Creating a German state is the intention, but whether those nobles are involved needs to be seen. Though we keep a positive stance
