Acadian National News

And Dantanaea's far enough away to watch from the sidelines safely.

If it escalates, who knows what we might do? Isolationism only goes so far...

The Imperial Federal Kingdom condemns the actions of Acadia, and will ban all imports to or from the nation for the duration of the Fraesian occupation.

Looks like we have a heck of a roleplay coming up. Also, were those Supreme Court justices dismissed yet (like the High Court ordered)?

Eh, who needs your imports anyway. (I'm kidding, I love GBM)

Justices: Shoot, I forgot to mention that. I also meant to ask Kenny if the justice that voted to not have him tried in Fraesia should be removed.

Mike: Folland better not forget Acadia's and Shayden's mutual defense agreement that was established after the Colonies' War.

Mutual Defense Agreement. No one's attacking you Jack. Ah, politics.

I am very aware of that, Mike. This basically saying that we can have our fight elsewhere, but you better not even think about touching Acadia.

So...proxy war, then?

Hedjaz invades Sharan
The North-Central Althenian nation of Hadjaz has invaded the Principality of Sharan, a major Acadian trade partner. Hedjaz's prime minister, Yateem Hassan, claims that Sharan is a province of Hedjaz. ANN political analyzers believe that Hasaan invaded Sharan because of Hedjaz's inability to pay ε40 million that had been borrowed to finance a recent war the Republic of Iras.

Acadia has not yet made an official statement, but due to Sharan being a major trade partner, an forceful intervention is likely; especially after the passing of the Sovereignty Act.
8 of 9 Supreme Court Justices Forced to Step Down
After the ruling by the Chancellor of the United Sovereign Nations of the World, the 8 justices that voted to have Jacques Varcame tried in Fraesia were removed from their positions. Chief Justice, Mark Sampson was not removed. President Johnson must nominate new candidates that then have to be approved by the General Assembly. This is a long process and will put all cases scheduled to be heard on hiatus.

Sorry bout that, um so in apology, all cases in Acadia are on the chanc.

But seriously, Paradise is on hand should anything get out of hand.

There were consequences to the Chancellor's ruling.

This scenario sounds like all is needed is an intervention to keep Hedjaz out of the country. But I feel Acadia has other plans... Dun, dun, DUNNN!

Acadia defends Sharan
Under the consent of the Sovereignty Act, Johnson has announced that the Acadian military will defend Sharan by any means necessary.

Matt Randall Comes Out on Top After Debate
Last night it was quite apparent that republican nominee, Matt Randall, won the presidential debate against current democrat president, Andrew Johnson. Currently Matt Randall is winning in the polls, as well.

Political Journalist, Ronald Banks, says he is "...Worried about a republican president in office in a time like this." It is implied that he is worried about Acadia's imperialism growing, as Matt Randall promises to increase spending on military, and "strengthen the Federation".

Ewww Sovereignty Act

Ewww Matt Randall (Mitt Romney)

Did Matt Randell own Bane Capital?

I think its Grain Capital

Fraesian Reconstruction
Many Fraesians are excited to know that they will be able to vote for the leaders of their country for the first time in over 20 years. Several Constitutional Conventions have been held in Fraesia City, where delegates are writing the constitution of the new Fraesian Republic. Fraesia has been divided into 14 provinces. The representation of each in the government has not yet been determined.

Being an Acadian-influenced nation, a democrat/liberal president is very unlikely. A few major presidential candidates are:

Jean Lavallée
Jean Lavallée belongs to Fraesian Conservative Party. He supports creating a large military fund to help defend the new republic from other, stronger nations. Lavallée also opposes universal healthcare. During Varcame's regime, he was imprisoned for questioning the unusually long term length of Varcame in a newspaper. He believes in using any necessary measures to protect the freedom of all citizens and a military partnership with Acadia.


Édouard Deserres
Édouard Deserres belongs to the Fraesian International Cooperation Party. He supports peace and cooperation with all Euphemian nations, and hopes to encourage trade with other countries to help rebuild the economy. He has stated that he plans on working on maintaining friendly relations with Folland, despite Acadia's tensions with the nation.


Louis Fremont
Louis Fremont belongs to the Acadian Loyalist Party. He believes on maintaining excellent relations with Acadia, as well as open borders and free trade. He has proposed breaking off all relations with Folland once Fraesia becomes a republic, and closing all borders with the nation, except for Fraesian refugees. Fremont also plans on maintaining friendly relations with Marqualis, and allowing the construction of Marqualis military bases in Fraesia.

Okaiken is not pleased with the handling of Fraesia by Acadian forces.

Carl: What else could you possibly ask of me?

Newspaper wrote:Many Fraesians are excited to know that they will be able to vote

Still, in a Freasians' argument, they know that their candidates are tightly controlled by a foreign force (Acadia), of course they won't be excited with the lack of selection of their candidates

I know who I am voting for *rigged elections anyone *

Well, it's obvious who Folland likes as a candidate. lol

I don't know why that last guy doesn't like Folland so much. It wasn't us who bombed the hell out of their towns.

Brainwashed by Acadians?

Well that might be the point

Hey, this is important! If you have the time, please read and comment. If not, please make time to do so later. Thanks.

President Johnson Delivers Speech and Holds Press Conference

In response to the international tension over the occupation of Fraesia, president Johnson has delivered a speech to the international community in Francistown today, and answered questions that the press had to ask.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the United Sovereign Nations of the World. I would like to begin today by telling you about a Fraesian man named Raymond Dubeau. Raymond was born in Oxford, Fraesia, in 1986. Living most of his life under Varcame's rule, he never knew the true meaning of freedom. In school, he was educated about the Acadian annexation of New Fraesia. He was told that the Acadians were "thieves", and stole the land that still belong to Fraesia. In his later life, he learned about how the East Fraesians succeeded from Posilliponian Fraesia for one reason: freedom. When the war started, he was among many of the protesters in Oxford demanding peace and justice. And now, Freedom is what he is getting.
I would like to address the confusion that many of Acadia's fellow union members have about the occupation. First, I would like to inform everyone that each and every man in Fraesia truly has his freedom. Even the former supporters of the Varcame government have been granted immunity, and live freely among the other Fraesians. All Fraesian citizens 18 years of age or older can now have a say in their own government. They can finally have the sense of democracy in their homeland that they've only dreamt of for years. Delegates from every corner of Fraesia have come to Fraesia City to write the new constitution; spelling out their freedom. The men and women of Fraesia will be voting at the polls on November 1st, deciding who they want in the government. They can rest assured that no one will attempt to seize power of Fraesia once again, as long as the international troops protect their new freedoms. They can return to their hometown, no-longer in ruins, and be free to leave and pursue new opportunities.
I ask every member of the USNW to forgive Acadia for its forceful invasion of Fraesia, and invite them to assist in rebuilding the nation and inspect the writing of the new constitution, if they so choose. Have we not been friendly with everyone else? We attempt to remain friendly with every nation, even if we do have our disagreements, the best thing to do is put them aside and help each other up when we stumble. 'A house divided against itself cannot stand.' This house being the Union as a whole.
As the President of the Acadian Federation, I promise you that the occuptation of Fraesia will end peaceably; and in the end, the Fraesians are free, the Acadians are safe, and the Union is happy. Thank you.
I am willing to answer questions on this topic. Please ask any that you have and they will be answered to my best knowledge."
