Colonisation of Marokko:
A few months ago, on the 17th of August it all started. Our navy blocked the coasts of Marokko. Our military went in for our first real colonial invasion. And now we finally make our last push to establish the first real colony of Iberia! These Marokkans are our Abrahamic brethren, but with enough teaching and explanations they will maybe one day be our Chatolic brethren too.
Now that our nation is almost ready to integrate their first african lands, we need a part under the government to keep our new lands under control. A new and separate part of our government was created named the North African Territory. This part of the government will be a constitutional council. This council will have Iberian and local representatives vote on matters that are on hand. To clarify, this council is temporary. Once the area has calmed down and is fully under control, we can explore a new way of governing for the territory.
Most major cities have already surrendered and/or have been captured by our army. The only thing that is standing between us and victory is a piece of f***ing desert.
Eastern Marokkan front: (1 infantry division and 1 armored division)
After the liberation of Casablanca from the cruel extremists our troops split up again. The Northern front turned into the Eastern front. And was probably not going to face any major threats. For this reason, one specialist division was added to the new Southern Marokkan front.
Our infantry jumped onto their armored counterparts and rode over the endless amounts of sand called the Sahara. Everytime that a small village was reached, some infantry was left behind to incorporate the locals into their new home, the Iberian empire.
A or two interpreters were also dropped off in every city to translate Spanish, Catalonian or Portugese to berbers or Arabac. While most people were visibly upset at first, when our translators explained to them that we brought food, water and other necessities with us for them. They weren’t mad anymore.
Southern Marokkan front: (1 infantry division, 2 specialist division and 1 Mechanized division)
Now, with help of the new specialist division, our troops went on with their march. While they also had a lot of useless desert to pass, they had one city they were most happy to cross. Tiznit! The old Spanish colony is known for its major amounts of Christian Marokkans that already speak the Spanish languages very well.
The townspeople sheared us on during our arrival into the city. they threw palm leaves on the streets to signal to our brave soldiers that they were freeing them from tyranny and hunger, just like Jezus did for the Egyptians against their oppressors.
After the peaceful integration of Tiznit, all Marokkan mountains, beaches, deserts and people can call themselves Iberian. And all people and lands that can call themself Iberian, can be ensured to be protected by the hands of the all mighty, rightful, true god!
Christianization of Marokko:
While the entire christianization of the Marokkan lands is still far away, a start can be made today. Priests are being sent overseas to our new territories to convert people in need of help. Churches are built next to mosques built with food, water pumps and shelter for those in need.
During the 3rd daily prayer in the mosques, a prayer is held for the enlighter of all Abramic faiths. During this prayer, all current religious people are advised to pray for all 3 major Abramic faiths. Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
This isn’t the only mixed prayer for a day. During the evening prayer, all mosques and churches are advised to pray together. The pastor and the imam will hold their prayer together for all to hear. To ensure this will happen, it is advised for our pastors to form a friendly relationship with the local imam and the local population.
Our goal is to form a bond between the Islam and Christianity again, just like the old times before the mistakes called the cursed crusades by our people. Sadly enough, the people back then used the good word of god to corrupt the minds of others. Now with guidance of our kings and guidance of god, we will bring peace and prosperity to all under his name!
We the people of Esperxanto agree as well. This wasn't for the betterment of the people instead it was to fill their coffers. A despicable act indeed.

Change of Heir
Panhist Turkey was isolationist for a long time, but now change has come to the state.
After many failed coup attempts by the army and government officials the Sultan realized that Turkey was heading to a civil war which he wanted to avoid.
Seeing that the state Turkey was in he decided to approach The Government of The justinian horde and ask for help with free trade, which the Horde accepted.
But that didn't help either, so after long talks with the Emperor of the Justinian Horde, the Emperor was proclaimed as the heir of the Sultan of Turkey and the Sultan's daughter was to be married to the Emperor's son.
The Sultan hopes this last ditch effort can save the Turkish People even if they are in a different country and a different government.

Secret Vows
The wedding was held in a small church somewhere in a village greece that had been abandoned during the last year of the Justinian Civil war. The wedding ceremony consisted of six marriages (one for each of the five faiths of the Justinian Horde. Tengrism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. And one secular one) held over the course of a single week. The guests consisted of the Sultan and his wife, The khagan and his Husband, a few close relatives, and a few representatives from the other members of the United Front.

Taiwan Decides to join peacefully!
After seeing the might of Politianian Navy and Army, Taiwanese government decided to not provoke any further action.
They let us use their ports, shipyards and infrastructure elements on the island, as well as handed over the archipelago few nautical miles from their shores.
Taiwanese population was opting for the unification, as many cultural, political and ideological beliefs were shared within the nation.
Politianian leader - Kliment Rostovich, made a speech to the nation, and Taiwanese.
"Dear citizens, my fellow Politianians, comrades, we are facing new era, an era, where nationality is no longer dominant option for being the part of the entity of the state like Politiania. For centuries Politiania had great relations and ties with the glorious nation of Taiwan, formely also called Formosa. We ask Taiwanese, to become part of our great nation, and together with us build new, free and Democratic world! Glory to Taiwa, Glory to Politiania, Glory to new era!" After the speech, crowds walked on the streets of Taipei and started manifesting their support for the idea of Unification with Politiania, without violence. Taiwanese governent finally agreed, and they signed the Treaty of Taipei, making Taiwan new Politianian territory.
Few days after the Unification Day, an armada was launched from Taiwan island naval bases, to take southern parts of Malay Peninsula, Singapore and Northern Sumatra.
Navy assets were sent to conduct naval invasion on the shores of Singapore, Malaysia and Northern Sumatra.
Singapore was tough. highly urban enviroment was basically forbidding us from using heavy equipment.
Groups of infantry on light vehicles, with support from Mi-24 Hind attack helicopters and Su-25 attack aircraft was pushing forward.
But lack of proper support, and main target - to not destroy the city too much, was making it difficult.
Sukhoi airceaft were conductiong airstrikes on army groups moving towards the city from north, and was destroying fortifications on the shores.
Helicopters were sweeping the rooftops with 23 millimeter cannons.
After some days of fighting, Singapore fell.
From there, with bases for supplies and replenishments soldiers began march on Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur was key and strategic point in Malaya campaign, because of its strategic and important location.
T-80 tanks were rolling through tha open plains of Malaysia. Sometimes they encountered some enemy forces, like group of Centurion tanks, or some APC groups. They were quickly destroyed in short firefights between steel beasts like T-80.
Before getting to Kuala Lumpur, Politianians had to take the Malacca - key point of supplies for Malaysian Army and other branches of Malaysian armed forces.
2S1 Gvozdika self propelled howitzers were deployed to provide better fire support, as this town wasnt that key for Navy.
122 millimeter shells fell on the city, causing destruction and fires in the old town, Shelling was severe, and enemy casualties quite high.
Tanks rolled on the main streets, destroying barricades, and mssacring enemy soldiers hidden behind walls.
Squads of infantry were clearing the streets from Malaysians, and buildings from improvised explosive devices.
Sometimes rocket hit the building that was being cleared, causing minor casulaties.
Helicopters were firing the rockets, raining fire on the streets in front of soldiers of Politianian Expeditionary Force Corps, destroying light vehicles from their ATGM launchers and cannons, clearing rooftops from any threat.
Malacca, just as Singapore - fell into hands of Politiania, and unified with the nation.
Twenty PTS amphibious assault vehicles, with support of PT-76 light amphibious tanks were crawling slowly to the shore of northern Sumatra, where another base was meant to be established. Support of five Krivak class frigates was also remarkable, as they were aiming their cannons at the shore installations of Malaysian navy and Malaysian Army.
In minutes, salvo of twnty 76 millimeter shells fell on the enemy, causing panic among the defenders.
PTS were landing and unloading the equipment, soldiers and artillery, and PT-76s were providing aditional fire support, destroying the machine gun nests, and engaging light vehicles on beach.
Soldiers quickly took the sttrategic positions on the shore, and managd to move out to the southern part of the region, to cut out the enemy in the jungle, encircle them, and then push them towards the shore. Operation was successfull, Solders managed to defeat the malaysian army units stationed in the region, and secured the lands.
The Neo Colonialism being commited by Politiania and TUB cannot be tolerated in the year of our lord 1980. The Justinian Horde hereby condemns both nations and the CIN for supporting their colonisation of other nations!

Rebels Defeated And New Expansions In The Middle East!
After a week long siege of the rebel capital, their generals saw no more point in fighting and sent a representative to discuss peace terms with General Monte’. The rebel leaders didn’t want to surrender but because they had lost the support from their army, they had to agree to meet. Their surrender conditions were that the army and leaders of the rebellion were to be pardoned and given back their government positions. Of course, this ludicrous demand was not acceptable but Monte’ being clever “accepted” their demands. The next morning our troops strolled into their capital unopposed and arrested then rebels and their generals while also disarming their army. Neither the supreme leader nor Monte’ could pardon traitors and while in court they argued that they were fighting for their former country, everyone including the generals who testified against them knew they were just trying to stay in power. Most of the generals were sentenced to five years hard labor while the rebel leaders either were executed or sentenced to life in prison. The average rebel soldier was allowed to return to service but at the lowest rank and most left the army entirely.
Indian Port
A few days ago, our supreme leader had ships sent to the Middle East but they needed to refuel at the Indian port of Valsad. In return for letting our ships have the Indian port facility, the local ruler of the province there wanted weapons his people could use to fight his enemies. Our supreme leader allowed for the trade of a few hundred guns and five artillery guns to be sent to the province.
New State In Yemen!
After refueling in India, the ships set forth to their intended destination, Yemen. Our supreme leader realized the importance that the Red Sea held in terms of our alliance with the Confederation of Independent Nations, so our supreme leader hoped to have Yemen’s ruler join our country. Yemen’s President, Assad Muhammad, had recently overseen the annexation of half of Eritrea and Djibouti. Due to European expansionism after WWI he was skeptical to say the least about an offering of a merge with our country. Our supreme leader sent our best diplomat, Ron Howard, to meet with the king since our leader was still in recovery. On the ships sent to Yemen were many gifts as well as displays of wealth to convince Assad to join us. In reality, we might not have needed to gifts. The war to take the land in Africa took a toll on Yemen’s economy and Assad was in hot water with many of his people. He was eager to join the LRF in order to secure his position. We didn’t have the enough troops onboard the transports to begin a census and beginning local affairs but we had just enough to start setting up on the provinces in the Red Sea. In another month, we will have enough advisers and other things to have the rest of Yemen protected. There were conditions to Yemen’s merge however. First off, freedom of religion wouldn’t be guaranteed due to the large Islamic population being stubborn like most religions but Howard made it so that different sections of Islam were protected from arrest. The port facilities in Yemen will serve our country well as they will allow us access to the Red Sea and possible trade with nations in Africa as well as the Middle East.
News At Home
There has been some developments with our space program. We’ve recently launched our first space station into orbit as well as our second flight to the moon. The data from these missions bring us closer to achieving our supreme leader’s goal of a near permanent outpost on the moon, however far in the future it may be. On the ground, the economy is nominal recent expansions are bringing in more jobs and people to increase out economic output. People are indifferent about our far flung empire possibly overextending ourselves but most are fine with our new states. These past few months have tested our resolve with each challenge but we have met each one together and prevailed. This has been LRF News. To The Stars, Now And Forever!
Invasion of Denmark, Sweden and Norway
Today at 11:55, the British military and N.E.I.C private security forces invaded Denmark, southern Norway and Sweden in a bid to secure the Danish straits in order to protect British trading interests and to protect the trading interests of the Greater Slavic Union. Amphibious and aerial landings begun swiftly and surprised the militaries of the three Nordic nations. Strategic locations including geographical locations, resource hotspots, financial institutions, N.E.I.C assets and key infrastructure. Royal Navy vessels blockaded the Danish straits throughout the invasion in order to stop trading ships being destroyed in the conflict and to stop Nordic Naval units from attacking British forces.
Bombing raids and ballistic missile attacks destroyed military fortifications and subdued any civilian population that might help fight against British forces. Armoured units devastated the cities as people from all walks of life ran from the impending British armies. Knowing that the people may fight against the British occupation, the High Chancellor and the Ministry of Defence enacted the use of scorched Earth tactics on areas of the most resistance in order to quell any potential uprising. Places of agricultural production were swiftly taken under the army’s command and the use of selective ration handouts were issued to give the most tamed civilians the right of rations.
Although the occupation was expected to be brutal, it wasn’t all bad news. The technocratic government offered free healthcare, higher education and very good welfare to those who bended their knee to the Technocratic state. Plans to improve infrastructure, subsidise businesses and to create more jobs brought business owners, the unemployed and the younger demographic to the side of their new overlords. Plans were also put in place to take advantage of natural gas deposits and to improve regional trade, especially with the Greater Slavic Union who is one of the major import and export partners of the Technocratic Union of Britain.
The justice and police enforcement were also to improve as Britain brings its Civil Protection system that will increase police enforcement and to bring down crime to almost 9% which is a major improvement. Religious persecution by the government is to be expected but will most likely be mild in the early stages of the occupation and the eventual integration of Denmark. Modern churches will
be destroyed while more historic churches will be converted into tourist and archaeological sites in order to protect the history of the places.
International reactions to this occupation will vary, the CIN will support this occupation most likely while the United Front will condemn the act. The government of Denmark and the Danish royal family has fled to Luperca in a desperate attempt to create a nation in exile and to protest the invasion. The High Chancellor was requested to comment and he said “By following the former High Chancellor Callum Doherty’s advice before he died, we believe that in order to protect our nation’s national security, our allies national security and to protect our respected economies, we believe that action had to take place or Denmark would have fallen with the United Front and who knows what would have happened then”.
The conflict still continues with the Norwegian and Swedish front, but it is a clear British victory. Some newspapers in England are calling this “revenge for the Viking raids of England” but these are
merely satirical attempts to mock the Nordic countries and to sell more newspapers. H.R.M Queen Elizabeth II has sent a basket of baked cookies and cakes to the Danish royal family and to the Lupercan government for this invasion. H.R.M sent this message “I ‘am deeply sorry for the invasion that my government committed yesterday, I have always wanted peace but sometimes we can’t get what we want in life, best wishes, H.R.M Queen Elizabeth II”. This very political statement has made quite a stir in Britain as traditionally the royal family is banned from picking sides in politics or making any political comment but in the past few years since the Technocratic government came to power, the royal family has been gaining power in the country since the former High Chancellor had a very positive relations and feelings of the royal family.
Only time will tell of Britain’s next moves on the geopolitical stage.

The Ireland situation:
An message has arrived for our protector kingdom writen by the president of Munster. In this message, they request military protection from the anti-religious Technocratic union of britain and the anti-individual-human-rights alliance of the Confederation of Independent Nations. They also clarify that other provinces of Ireland have the same interest as them, but for another time.
Our kingdoms have agreed on their request for protection. The main reason why we agreed were the current hostile actions taken by the British government in Scandinavia. Here they bombed civilian targets and have started to starve protestors or rebels.
Another reason for our decicion is the widely known Iberian goal to protect religion and religios people. The Catholic dominated emerald island is now in need of protection.
To clarify, were not annexing Ireland and/or Munster, were just protecting their lands. Their own government will only lose the rights of international relations. This will be taken over by our state.
the National parliament
The High Chancellor Kyle Hill has announced that unfortunately due to international medaling in British politics, the Secularisation act has been banned indefinitely.
Protests have appeared outside the headquarters of the Technocratic party, the protesters were mainly monarchists and businessmen

Esperxanto Reclamation
2 years ago, I, Ĝozef Valmune, sent my nation into isolation due to unforeseen issues within my nation. Out of good conscience I couldn’t allow these issues to spread to my neighbors and so we as a nation stopped travel to and from Esperxanto. As years went by due to isolation, we were forced to relieve land once occupied by the people of Esperxanto in order to cut back on expenses. Now the time has come for the people of Esperxanto to be reunited with their homeland once again. With that said we shall start by claiming the province of Liegnitz.
Liegnitz was always the backbone of our nation's food resources so it would make sense to try and reclaim this province as it will help lead to the acquisition of any remaining territory by allowing us to feed the people and our troops. Because of the need to feed a growing population Liegnitz is essential because of the fertile soil needed to grow fruits located within the province. Without Liegnitz there is little hope for the reclamation to proceed at an acceptable pace.
I have no doubts that the people of Liegnitz wish to prosper under Esperxanto once again so let the people of Liegnitz make use of their orchards to help take back the rest of their homeland.
- Ĝozef Valmune, President of Esperxanto

Saturday November first 1980 was a nice day. The sun was shining, people were laughing after hard days work , children playing after school, in colder areas the air was crisp but not to cold, and in warmer the air was warm but in a pleasant way. It was a good day to enjoy life, and for the last sultan of Panhist Turkey it was the last day he experienced life. At exactly 22.54 local time, Sultan Kayra I passed leaving his nation in the hands of Khagan and Emperor Ajax Glezos-Cohen, his Husband Rafael Glezos-Cohen, their 20 year old son Hector, Hectors bride and the former sultans lovely 19 year old daughter Fatma, and former sultans son Kemal I. The Sultan died surrounded by friends, family, and trusted servants, and breathed his last breatth a few hours after having eaten his favorite three course meal. Kofte as a starter, Kuzu Tandir as a main course, and revani for dessert.
In accordance with the Sultans wishes The Justinian Emperor was declared Sultan of Turkey. The official coronation was to take place three days after the sultans demise on the 4th, and the sultans burial would take place seven days after the sultans death on the 8th.

Esperxanto Northern Reclamation Pt. 1
The coal industry of Olomouc has been an important part of that region's economy since before the revolution. Recently there have been reports of a new source of coal north of the province in Troppau that could lend aid to the growing demand for energy. We sent a land surveyor to assess these reports and have come back with promising news. Despite the land being occupied by those who split from Esperxanto years ago, the land is underdeveloped, and the people are living in squalor. If we were to send a diplomat in to negotiate land rights, we could own the coal and give the people of Troppau a chance at a better life. After a few days of negotiation, we managed to strike a deal that Troppau would fly the Esperxanto banner so long as they remain able to govern themselves. We made it clear that they still had the ability to govern themselves, however they would still need to partake in elections to decide their representative in Esperxanto.

Esperxanto Northern Reclamation Pt. 2
After obtaining Troppau as a province of Esperxanto, we had land surveyors (Survey Team Alpha) look further north to see if there were any untapped resources in Poeln. After a few days had passed we suddenly had a halt in communications with Survey Team Alpha. In response, as were orders of the Council of Tongues, we sent five men from the Komodo Battalion (Komodo Battalion Alpha) to investigate the whereabouts of Survey Team Alpha. Upon arrival to Poeln Komodo Battalion Alpha started the hunt by examining their last know coordinates. After hours of searching Komodo Battalion Alpha located tire tracks leading further north nearing the border to Gniezno. Eventually the tracks end at a parked automobile by a camp site in the mouth of an open cavern. Komodo Battalion Alpha carefully entered the cavern to find that the inside had caved in and anyone inside was most likely deceased. Before leaving the area, they were instructed to collect all they could of the information acquired by the survey team.
Based on the information collected from both Survey Team Alpha and Komodo Battalion Alpha, it seems that Poeln is uninhabited by humans and that the cave systems are unstable. As a result of these findings, we sent supplies to the province to expand the country and develop it. Survey Team Alpha (DECEASED) will be remembered by a statue at the entrance of the cavern dedicated to their sacrifice in the name of art and science.

November 5, 1980
Faced with the sudden British attack on the population of two former Lupercan republics (Denmark and Götaland) and the brutal conditions of the occupation carried out by the invading forces, the former ultra-conservative President of Denmark, Tatiana Carstersen immediately traveled to Luperca City to request the Lupercan German government help to repel the invaders and rebuild their country. Federal Chancellor Tobias Brant and Foreign Minister Kris Kahler agreed to his request and tasked the Defense Minister Otto Schnur with a plan for a swift invasion of Denmark to expel the British from there.
Around the same time, the Götaland Government secretly sent a delegate to request Lupercan German help in the face of similar occupation conditions by the British invaders. Brant told both delegations: "Luperca will liberate Scandinavia from Perfidious Albion."
Southern and Central Denmark (Syddanmark-Midtjylland)
The region of Southern Denmark or Syddanmark had not been a victim of British attacks and occupation and that's why it received many displaced people from most of the Central Jutland Region (Mid Jutland or Midtjylland) and from Funen County. The government of the region, located in Esbjerg, organized refugee camps and quickly received support from the German Red Cross and troops from the Federal Army of Lupercan Germany who helped the remnants of the Danish Armed Forces to control the situation and prepare for a eventual attack by the British invaders.
Ringkjøbing County
The city of Ringkøbing, seat of the county of the same name, requested naval support from Lupercan Germany to prepare for an eventual attack from England, as it is part of Midtjylland and is directly accessible by sea from Great Britain. Strike Group V of the Federal Navy (Bundesmarine), based in Husum, Schleswig-Holstein, was sent for their protection.
Both regions as part of Free Denmark formed the Danish National Liberation Council (Dansk Befrielsesråd) and signed an agreement on behalf of the Danish State with Lupercan Germany to make their country adhere to the policy of Free Associated States (FAS) that is carried out in Eastern Switzerland and Austria to protect Denmark from future British brutal attacks such as those received by the North Jutland region, Aarhus County, Funen County and Zealand.
North Denmark
The North Jutland Region (Danish: Region Nordjylland) was one of the first territories to be attacked and subjugated by British forces. There the invaders committed atrocities such as bombing raids and ballistic missile attacks that destroyed military fortifications and subdued the civilians that tried to help in the fight against the British occupiers, armored units devastated the cities, the use of scorched earth on the most resistant towns and the confiscation of agricultural production by the British military. The 1st Baltic Naval Infantry Division (1st MD - Nordsee-Marinekorps) based in Hamburg was assigned to the invasion of this region together with Strike Group V and VI of Battlegroup II | North Sea Fleet.
Funen County and Zealand
The Eighth Baltic Naval Infantry Division (8th MD - Ostsee-Marinekorps), whose base is Rostock, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, was assigned the mission of liberating the islands of Funen and Zealand, the latter where Copenhagen is located. In addition to the 8th MD, Zealand was assigned the 4th Air Squadron (based on Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) of the Air Force and to Funen the 3rd Air Squadron (based on Schleswig-Holstein).
The 1st ND Northern Corps Division (Nordkorps Division) and the Second Panzergrenadier Division (2nd PzG) of the Federal Army were mobilized in case their participation was necessary.
Thus arrived the Lupercan German forces in occupied Denmark and to their surprise, the British had left scorched earth and ended their brief and disastrous occupation of the country when they learned of the Lupercan German mobilization to expel them, so there was no fighting (for now).
November 7, 1980
The population of the City-State of Vienna has voted in the binding referendum on November 2 regarding the situation of its territory regarding adherence to the Free Associated State (FAS) status with respect to Lupercan Germany and the rest of Austria. In the case of Vienna, unlike other federal states, it was also voted on whether the Viennese province joins Lower Austria or remains as a separate state in the case of adhering to the FAS status. The results were the following:
-Do you want the City-State of Vienna to adhere to the FAS status regarding Lupercan Germany?
Results: 72% in favor, 25% against, 3% blank votes
-If so: Do you want Vienna to reunite with Lower Austria?
Results: 52% in favor, 47% against, 1% blank votes.
In this way, Austria will be part of the Federated State of Lower Austria from December 1980 and both will be part of Lupercan Austria.
