S.O.Z.B. - Pro-Bruellen supporters in Bergenstein will be happy that they will not have to fend off international pressure because the international community seems to supports its claims over the eastern regions of Bergenstein as they occupy the country with the rest of the Coalition Forces.

Bergensteiners, on their part, have a mountain of problems. The Bergenstein Chancellor, Ludwig Karl Basten Schmittegstein, is expected to be prosecuted by Coalition Forces, though no official arrest warrant has been issued. It is yet to be determined on what grounds Schmittegstein would be arrested for. The now highly traditionalist government is fiercely opposing the Coalition Forces occupation and started to organize retaliation. It has been reported that Bergen military forces had opened fire on Coalition Forces in the north of the country. Schmittegstein has more recently sought to play the unity card with the Bergen population against the "invaders". Obviously, unity between the Modernists and Traditionalists who started the civil war in 2013, is unlikely to happen.

Doge Diogenes has made an unexpected visit incognito in the Sinopian Occupation Zone of Bergenstein, in the North of the country. Visiting Sinopian military installations, meeting military officials and overseeing tactics, the Doge held a press conference in the Küchler Air Force Base. "It is quite sad to make my first official visit in these lands as foreign occupant." declared Diogenes. "But, the intervention was a necessity to reaffirm the rule of law, the respect of human rights and dignity of life of the Bergen people and to restore security in Western Althena."

"I have personally contacted the Chancellor of the United Sovereign Nations, Ms. Elena Witsch de Burgos, and we've discussed about the situation in Bergenstein deeply. She was of course invited as an observant to the next Coalition Forces meeting. We have always hopes for a peaceful resolution of the conflict here in Bergenstein, but that can't be done with a government that violates human rights and treaties by which they are bond to." Concluded the Doge.

Logically, leaving Bergenstein as it is with all the tension between Bergen factions and the weak authoritarian government in power can lead to only one consequence. There will be an another bloodbath and civil war, and potentially neighboring countries getting attacked by Bergenstein's rogue military agenda.

Apart from the weak government, it appears Bergenstein has even a government-in-exile, following the almost-forced escape of the 'High King' to Abbasid. A Kabier-backed monarchic government-in-exile is expected to be established, trying to find support from other nations, while Doge Diogenes has indicated the return of the monarchy would be "a drastic error, as it has been proven in the past and throughout the whole history of Bergenstein".

The Bergenstein population isn't as alarmed by the situation, Konstanze Abbing, 54, explains in her home in Bruellen, a few kilometers from the border with Bergenstein. "My husband and my kids are in Mullerheim texting me news, because the internet there is barely working. It's apparently a red zone, heavily watched by the Bruellan military." A lot of relatives living in Bruellen have gotten news through cellphones as postal service is not working and the internet can crash at any time due mostly to power shortage. "Apparently it's not that bad, the population is mostly afraid of the extremist militias from the Civil War who prompt the street looking for what they claim are 'traitors', those who help the Coalition Forces with information or simply cooperate by not trying to kill them. And that clown of a Chancellor and government they've got, that Wiez Party thing, they're bloody fascists." Abbing continues.

Etruscan General Aldéric Bordelon speaks less openly about the situation in the south of Bergenstein, where heavy military movements have been made by the Etruscan army to fight insurgents. "One of our plane has been shot down today, while three were heavily damaged. We can't disclose more than that yet, but most civilians are safe for now." He said.

The Etruscan military has been the most damaged by the war, losing the most troops and equipment. Doge Diogenes has stated that more Sinopian troops would come in the south of Bergenstein to help Etrusque in the area. Coalition Forces leaders are expected to meet this week-end in Insulo, as Abbasid has not been invited. The Müllerheim Military Base has been re-taken by Bruellan forces, while relatively important losses have followed.

While the world waits to find out how far the new occupation policy of the Coalition Forces will take them, most major powers not involved the situation are content to focus their attention elsewhere. The outlook for Bergensteiners can only be described as pessimistic, if not hopeless.

Great article Juls!

//Okaiken will continue the support of the occupation of the forces on Bergenstein and will be willing to assist, if needed//

Great article, Juls!

Great article!

Nice Article,

Great Article. Glad to see articles from you (I suck at writing ).

Indeed very good articles, both this one and the first one of the new leftist newspaper.

Yes, very nice articles!

It's interesting to be reading about this major roleplay and NOT being a part of it at all. (even though I'm itching for a reason to use my tanks on something) 

So we've got Etrusque in the East, Sinope in the South and Bruellen in the West. If one were to be a conspiracy theorist, (s)he'd say that you were carving up Bergenstein.  I am not one of those theorists though.

missed Batavia to the west they are in the coalition too and Insulo is pretty close double

BRAAVOS - New sensitive documents have been declassified by the Doge's Palace, respecting the Access to Information Act, which states that all class-B and less sensitive information that have been classified 50 years ago must be declassified, revealed and explained to the public. Class-A sensitive information can on the other hand be classified forever. Doge Diogenes himself declared back in 2009 that there were Class-A information that are over 1,000 years old.

The new documents revealed are a correspondence between the Shayden embassy in Braavos and the Shaydian Secretary of State at the time, the late Nathan Douglas. The Doge's Palace declared that "Operation Prenwi" standed for Post-Relastovan Empire Nuclear Weapons Investigation. According to those documents, Shayden had conducted secret investigations in post-Relastovan Empire countries on their nuclear arsenal and in Sinope, for potential nuclear weapons held by the Republic.

The Operation outlines the rationale for surveillance and investigation in Sinope and its allies to look for possible nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction being developed. The plan was in accordance with the Shaydian international policies at the time to secure Western Althena from the threat of the break-up of the Relastovan Empire. Objectives and priorities were to establish positive relations with the newly formed republics and pressure them to reduce or abandon their nuclear arsenal. There was also the possibility that Relastova were to provide nukes to Sinope as repayment for their help in the Relastovan Revolution. But according to the documents, the investigation in Sinope was not concluding.

Documents reported that the Relastovan Empire's arsenal was spread over the late-Empire's territory, and most WMDs were relocated to Malinova, Lechia and Relastova, the latter gaining the most. Shayden's fears were also present with the formation of the socialist Confederation of Asmiriva in Central Althena. The Shaydian government thought that the new pro-Sinope socialist government in Relastova could help other socialist states like Asmiriva to develop nuclear weapons, concerns that proved to be right in the end.

Naughty, naughty Sinopian lawyers and their nukes.
