Citizens of the Dominion, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the loss of our world. We longer have the domiance of the Continent nor the respect that was ours throughout the world. In lieu of that, we are now a piece within this vast world where no country is alike and all are different piece from every possible avenue in history.

Therefore we must try again as a member state in this world to re-gain the stability that was of our world. To do this, I have commissioned several attempts on creating diplomatic ties with our neighbors on the Continent. So far, these avenues have been with much success with our neighbors agreeing to estabish the very basic bonds of friendship.

As for the Old World, that is a different question. No doubt you have read it in the papers that a state most similar to the Barvarian Republic did come during the Event bearing dominance over the Caucuses. This has provoked many of it's neighbors to denounce such inhumane policies acted within those lands to the point that a military action is proposed to, as the yanks might say, can them in the hole.

There has been much controversy within the Parliment on what to do with this problem. After all, a good stock of you have relations from the Homeland with our very language being of that area. Our matters should be focused on those that we have relation to, such as the Mother Country and the Homeland, to see if any of them still last.

It is part of my duties as Chancellor to be the Head of State. It is also my duties to establish relations with other nations so that our Dominion may prosper. The Dominion never had relations with the Caucuses and no bearing on this Union that claims rulership of what is (was) Poland. In fact, that was all under Russian rule and the Dominion was of Western origin.

Yet the matter remains on how to deal with this world. A man should have friends when he moves into a new house. Thus my offer of friendship to this Union and the other nations.

I seek not to blacken our eyes to the matters of our home. That matter has been 'dressed a thousand times with troops scattered along the borders, ready to shoot the nearest Redarm near. We are always vigilant; our men at hand for the nearest battle; the cannons primed and armed.

We are in a new world. We are on a new Continent. A promise is here that once challenged Wellington when he first landed on the shores of Buensarez. We can do much with diplomacy- and the gesture that was put forth to the Old World can result in firmer relations in the future. Our eyes are not blackened; they are open, wide, with nary a blink 'pon the fragiles of an open hand.

Thus it is that I have commissioned an envoy and detail to this Conference in a hope of a peaceful end to that eastern threat; for those inside, there is the forces that patrol our land for any Redarm attack possible. It is my hope that peace can come to the Old World and the Continent that was in our world.

Thank you for your time,
Chancellor Graves Aarilia Guiterrez
Dominion of Chile-Argentina

His Honour has been most gracious to let the citizenry be privy to his hopes and desires. His dreams are quite tempting to say the least. However, there is a certain drawback to his words- they have been spoken before.

It was spoken by the great speaker Prime Minister Allende during the Black Years. It is widely known of his fate by his words.

Caution should be present within the movements of diplomacy. After all, who knows where our paths of peace take us. There is also the matter of external diplomacy and the ramifications of sending an aide convoy to far away lands that have no effect on us.

The military should be kept here, forever on guard from the threats that Redarm and other movements pose. It is a fact within the Government that efforts to use the military as a factor for peace was refuted by the Incans mainly because their dependency on the Japanese. Although I cannot reveal my resources, it is astonishing the speed in which their ministries work and the sluggard pace that ours take.

We need a firmer hand within diplomacy, and that can only be seen on the Continent, then the Old World and other lands. Not far away Poland.

Section 10:
"Creole"
...here are included some very 'basic terms that are utilised in Basic Creole:

"Continent"- usually in reference towards S. America, more specifically "lower" South America

"Lende"- idealist without any "real" experience; meaning derived from Prime Minister Allende (Chile)'s approach in dealing with terrorist strikes within Chile as well as the Hispanic population

"pino"- traitor; meaning derived from the traitorous acts of Col. Pinochet and the events of Bloody September

"Doba"- a difficult task usually resulting in many casulties and damages; in reference to Cordoba Campaign

"edersane"- meaning goodbye; a corruption of "auf wiedersehen" as borrowed from the many German immigrants from Patagonia and the Strip

"iper"- a denzien of the Argentinian coastline; usually meaning well-bred, high class, and snooty

"gootay"- another corruption of the phase "good day"; several deviants of this term include "udendag" [South Chile] and 'gdai' [The Strip]

Section 11
"Regionalism in the Dominions"

[i]...Much of the regions are divided into areas heralding pre-Liberation and the Liberation era. Those of the Landing origin tend to be seen mostly around in the coastal areas and hubs of transportation. Those of the pre-Liberation era tend to prosper in resource abdundant areas and agricultural sites. Between these regions, several nicknames have emerged that has earmarked the ever-current divisions between our Dominion...

(...)

Regional names:

The Strip- usually in reference to the coastal areas around the River Platte, the areas around Wellington, and the Atlantic Coastline

Petegonya- in reference to Southern Argentina

Borons- in reference to the areas north and west of the Northern Strip; usually populated by pre-Liberation descendents

...was spotted touring the streets of Wellington. Although no comment was allowed to be given to the press, the envoy from Antartica expressed wonder that such a mergence of cultures were present within the city's architecture and citizenry. He also expressed interest on the "Creole" culture, even pausing to buy a dictionary and a mystery novel. The Government has affirmed rumors that the envoy will be touring the Inner Forts to see the military side of our fair nation in hopes of a defensive pact to be reached. This notion has been met by some opposition by members of the military due to the tenacious behaviour of finding out the notable edge we have over the Yanks of our World. The Government has given no confirmations on whether this edge has been privy to the talks with the envoy or other nations.

...were traded with the Incan Empire and the Australian Brazil today. Both exchanges were made along the Border Forts, given the easy access they offer along the borders...

(...)

...all commercial and industrial enterprises were allowed to operate on their own by an Act of Parliment. This act was passed mainly due to the heavy protests by owners of those enterprises during the Early Days. Although the Act does allow freedom on their own operations, all deals with foreign nations must be consulted with the Minisistry of Commerce. Although most of the small enterprises did not protest this attachment, much of the big companies (Argentilean Electric, Argentiliean National Telephone Company,...) protested. ANTC spokesman Anadez Forn is quoted in saying:

Companies as our size needs outside facilities. Without these facilities we cannot become the true representation of Argentiliean progress within the commercial field. I plead on the behalf of the prosperous future, to allow deals both within the Continent and the World to be done by our supervision and not the MoC. If this is a 'free world' let it be free.

Comment by the Ministry of Commerce was referred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whom replied to the question during a press conference about the Polish Affair-

...Of course they want ouside facilities. They probably want to mimic the activity that Yank companies did in Mexico and Columbia. But mind you, that we currently have an Incan Empire and an Australia sitting on our northern border not to mention a Yamanian Republic to our rear. We simply cannot make deals without supervision. These powers are not known to us and government presence must be made to maintain an image (of control)

...Today envoys from the Incan Empire were seen touring our fair city. Although they are of our descendent, they were certainly astonished at the scars wrought by the many wars of our region. One of the envoy even let loose a tirade on the concept of tent cities and how prisoners are kept as chickens in a cage. Although the concept of the 'Wars was explained to him, the envoy attempted to give the usual speech on the Native People's rights and how the Foreigners did force their ways upon the Native Way. His tirade was soon clapp'd by the translator who did point out the Refor'st Clause of Taatisi Act. The envoy did express interest in the Taatisi Act and was directed towards Adun Taatisi herself, who did take the envoy a trip to the Refor'st farms.

An Antartican did tour our community today. He did express interest in our Old Ways and how it almost seemed like the Homeland. However, the main interest that he did show was of the Rommel Memorial. There was some conflict, it did appear, on the reasoning why he was revered so. In his world, he did tell us, that Rommel was part of the Brownshirt Movement, and did participate in the battles against the Marikaeners during the Second Great World. The envoy didst include details of our Rommel showing interest in the desert sands of the Borrons, eventually becoming a fox that almost came night to wound the United Kingdoms. This shock did appear around our community on such polarity on our dearly beloved leader, for such activity was naught within the legacy he did leave. Rommel was a hero of our land and his life's blood did shed for our lives in the present. More tellings of Rommel's connextion to the Brownshirts were averted by the grace of Rabbi Jurden, who did invite the envoy to a Freitag Mass, in which confounded the envoy even more on the brotherhood of the Juden and Christan.

HR: What do you think of the deal?

KM: Well Herney- as much as I am honoured by the presence of the Emporer- I find it troubling that the Emporer would do such an action against people of his own blood. I mean- it's almost a step to what the Yanks did to my people during the Great War

Government

...average visitor to the Dominion should notice that the Dominion does not act on the same principles as Canada or Australia does. Rather, it has a very unique governmental structure that runs along the same lines as the United States does with some deviances. There is an expanded 'federal' branch due to the combination of the two Dominions. The Chancellor is chosen through a roatation of retired Prime Ministers and Members of Parliment. The Prime Ministers themselves serve can serve on as members in the SCF or as Ambassadors in the Foreign Service.

(...)
...rare that the Chancellor can wield power direct from the Crown. Due to the long periods of instability that plauged the Old World, the post of Chancellor was retained mainly for show. This lasted for about 50 years until the Resurgance of the UK, where the Chancellor was finally re-activated as the representative of the Crown. In the modern day, the Chancellor is more or less the representative head of state for the Dominion with some powers over Government in times of emergency. Only then does the Chancellor ever have powers of the Crown.

Government Acts

...can be said of the Allende Years- that the true appreciation of the Native and Hispanic Peoples were finally realized through the Taatisi Act. This act was revolutionary in it's powers by finally allowing them the rights that post-Liberation population had with land grants given as compensation during the Liberation. Most of these grants were first concentrated in the Northern Chile, where it was hoped that the native peoples would profit from the mineral wealth of that region. Over time, grants in the Lower Provences were allowed in light of the extreme wealth that those regions had. (...) It was this Act that many governmental officials attribute to the lessening of conflict between our peoples...

Today a diplomatic snafu occured on the capture of one Seki Kagawa. Although it was reported in the Bynrock News that this person did protest his innocence, it was later shown by due protest by the Incan Imperial Delegation that this person was telling the truth. This irratation was quickly escalated due to the discovery of our Seki Kagawa masqurading as his double within the delegation as well as his attempt at achieving political asylum. Although the Ambassador did attempt to cover the criminal by his powers, it was firmly denied by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by a simple tour of the Bynrock Memorial Gardens. The Ambassador did come to some sense, but was quickly halted when he learned of the fate of Seki Kagawa. In a statement released yesterday, the Ambassador is quoted in saying:

Implementing (the) death (penalty) is crude even when this young man (did) attempt to free his own people. I implore the Dominion and the Chancellor to let this man (free) to his own people for judgement

So far, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not replied to this statement, and the execution is to be done noontime tomorrow. It is not known if the Ministry has asked the other delegations on if any other snafus have occurred.

It is unnerving walking the streets of Avalon and seeing every sign in English. There is not a single word of Portuguese nor Spanish in any store sign or menu. The average pedro is worse off- speaking as a normal Englishman would- with the references only adapted to Brasil and not England.

Then there is the language itself, devoid of any Dutch or German that one would have from the Homeland. His Honour had a hard time just ordering fish and chips from a pub without repeating himself to the waiter. It was only after drawing a fish that the waiter could actually understand.

Apparently the England that Brasil has pledged it's loyalty is a far different one than ours. There was no Continental Wars, no sons of Orange, and no linking of the Low Countries to England. There wasn't even our proud Prince Eugene- letting the Continent to rot under the Prussian and Austrian crown.

The only comforting thing that these Brasilians have is football. There is a stadium here in Avalon that the local teams come and practise their skills. There is even a rising star within the programme that is most famed for his 'bicycle' kick- most similar to our Pede.

I miss Sao Paul.

It has been announced that further intelligence on this matter has and currently been under review by the Ministry of Intelligence...

....An explosion has been detected on Mount Kurasaki, 22 km NW of the Incan Border. Officially, this has been attributed to "seismic tetonics" of the area. Unofficially, the activity has been attributed to Bluecoat activity as well as the elimination of those survivors from the Mount Surabaki Incident. Further discussion by the Ambassador is on-going. No comment has been issued by the Incan Imperial Embassy, although their reply is self-evident by their actions to the press...

...Spanish forces have taken Morocco. It has not been determined whether or not this bodes well for trade and passage through the Meditteranian....

...Stoneface Island's referandum on joining the Dominion has been approved. There has been some protests on the military's conduct in those islands....

36 Days Post Event

...raid in Westmark City revealed several movements and plans to incurr a swath of destruction in key Chilean and Argentinian cities. A full news flash has been stated througout the Dominion on possible suspects and members of the Queachan Liberation Army. Several arrests within South Wellington and Midmark Station have been reported by both Argentiliean and bluecoat forces. Other reports have stated several Nisi citizens to be threatened in a stone death but averted thanks to the timely arrival of the Argentiliean Military. All Nisi citizens and Quechan descendents have hereby ordered to report to the nearest Argentiliean Bases for concerns on their security...

...redarm activity has been reported in the Island of Maus. Supposedly this redarm group has been attributed to a religious rather than a political agenda. This concern was quickly roused out in Parliment with Prime Minister Mendez firmly stating that such activity has not been reported within the Dominions since the Long October. Prime Minister Mendez also attributed such trends to be of Merican origin, even so far as to label the movement a 'pagan cult'. Commentary from the Taatisi States were quickly aroused with Prime Minsiter Mendez pointing out that the 'paganism' that she meant was of Deseret Kirsche, in which was removed when the Event occurred....

...questions came up in the Stoneface Government Bill in Parliment on the status quo of the Bluecoats. Secretary Bill Onaface came up to the measure that the Bluecoats were acting along the perimeters established by the Ministry of the Interior. A protest by Commoner Williams (L-Southmark) did come up on the matter of the Incan Affair. Secretary Bill Onaface replied to that comment that it was the Argentiliean Air Force that did the action; mostly by it's Raven Wing- and not by Bluecoat assistance. This brought on more deliberations with no clear conclusion set on the Bluecoats perimeter. It is hoped that Speaker Atsogo will present the issue to the House of Lords on that matter as well as the Argentilean Parliment.

...Crazy Kedro (KYNN) has managed to wrangle a monthly tour around Brasil with daily reports coming in about that nation. It is not known if the Brasilians will understand his usual rapid fire exchange. A caller to Crazy's show did offer her assistance in speaking Brasilian with Crazy retorting "Do you think I am Crazy?"...

...firm has opened it's first franchise store in Westport selling stationary goods and craft related items. It has been said that their dark blue dye has worked wonders with signs and posters. Remarkably, the rumor about a retained translator has been true with a member from the Brelintz English School present at such dealings...

...has arrived at Dock 15. Similar to the Brasilians, their English is corrupted with nonsensical meanings and musical tone. On many occasion, they have been mistaken for Quechan with humorous results occuring in the marketplace. It is said that one sailor from the ships lost his companion due to him outbursting in his language thereby insulting the companion due to her history during the Long October...

...have made amendments to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on new converts. Already movements have been made in the local churches on members of this expidition as well as finances. As Cardinal Epoz did put it: "The world is made anew; why not should the truth of Him be told?"...

...Kagawa has been reported dead at Coalrock Island 7. No comment has been made by the Ministry of the Interior on why Kagawa was placed in such state. Even the Conservatives in Parliment have been in shock that he was placed in that room. It is not known if the Conservative's reaction is either of real leather or simply part of the Conquisit Agenda...

...Military Rule has been rescinded on the Stoneface Issue with the island both given and approved of it's "status". Simply stated, it will be part of the Dominion with it's own military protection provided mostly by it's own forces with trainers from the Navy and Marine Core. Such suggestion was given by Ambassador Kim, who has shown his remarkable knowledge at diffusing escalations. As a reward for his actions, the Chancellor has asked the Ambassador for several ...private...meetings at Whitehall Mansion. It is not known on the subject of these meetings....

...a Brasilian tourist was reported "lost" in the Westport Channel. Luckily the HMAS Bnonolog was in the area with the Brasilian picked up 3 km from his original point. The man in question has been sent to the Allende Memorial Hospital for dehydration and other related illnessess. Further reports were filed on the Brasilians apparently not reading the sign on the Westport Channel Wall on not swimming during the tides...

...Players have scheduled a preformance in Allende Memorial Theater in Queensmark. The matter of the play has been hinted at some even in their history on Japanese arrival. It is not known if they will be using masks in their preformance as other Quechan preformers have been prone to do. Opening act is marked on the 5th of this month. Prices has been set at 3P50m for adults, 2P10m for children. Half the procceds will be shared with the troupe, given of course the exchange to Incan money. (Rumored to be of actual gold)...

...reprints of the Guide to the Dominion have been marked at local Wellington University Press insitutions for those visitors from other nations with a complete dictionary/key to Argentiliean Creole. It is hoped that this will avert any tensions placed on educational and ambassadorial companies...

Excerpt of Incan Empire Television

"...I categorically deny any involvement of the Incan Empire with the internal affairs of the Dominion of Chile-Argentina and, quite frankly, resent the apparent paranoia so many in the Dominion seem to hold against us. The Imperial Incan Army has been doing its utmost to intercept these redarms or terrorists or whatever it is the Dominion calls them, up to and including aerial scouting by aircraft of the Flying Corps. We have done all we can to pursue normal diplomatic and commercial relations with the Dominion but have been dealt precarious situations, such as this past Seki Kagawa case. Instead of blaming us, your western neighbors, I call upon the Dominion of Chile-Argentina to better control their side of the border and stop allowing the entry of so many of their undesired extremists into our land..."

Excerpt of editorial from Cuzco Gazette

...I, in fact, think that these European barbarians in that Dominion are sending these redarms into our lands, whether they be unwanted criminals or even agents of their own government. They send them into the lands of our Empire so that they can come up with excuses to send in their military forces to wreak havoc with our innocent civilians. I would not be surprised, in fact, if these incursions were but training for their military to mount a full-scale invasion of our territory. Look at the facts. They even framed an innocent Incan interpreter as one of their criminals to give themselves an excuse for war. Just as in the universe from which we were taken by this Event, the Europeans seek to conquer the peoples of Viracocha and Amaterasu...

(Editorial Section)

...It is not surprising that the Japanisch blame us for the redarms. It is not surprising that the Japanisch blame us for their sorrows. However, it is entirely suggestion that the Japanisch think that we started the struggle.

While it is true that the Japanisch have had several problems in the recent days, pleading safety to the Army is coward's act. The only reason why they were given protection under the Taatisi Act was that they had a long standing with the accurssed Liberation Fronts that populated our realm. Their own poison forced them into hiding that caused us to face their sins.

They should bear their own faults on their own shoulders. Have their milita formally join the Army as a intregated unit. Have their enclaves formally join the cities that they are in. The Allemains did it. The Dutch did it. The Spanish even did it. Why should they be special on the sins of their exiled Cains? It bears no reason, no logic, and no sense with a capital S!

Excerpt from The Norbay News
36 Days Post Event (Sept 6th)
Editorial Section

The Emporer should stuff himself in picked ale. He thinks that he is so hoity-toity that he can order us around. I want to put him on a stool and tell that we are doing a d--n good job of the border. In fact, it was our duty during the Long October that saved Peru from the chaos that was Brasil!

But- the Emporer, in his Quechan robes, demands that we do a better job than we have been doing. If he was here, I would have him tour the Iceapeaks and the Coalrocks. I would have him even tour Corodoba and Gallow Line. Every redarm that we come across meets with death. If they deal with death in our realm then we kill them. In fact, that is the reason why we stuck Kagawa in Coalrock 7- the d--n killer of Sujun Allende and the rest of the Socialist Party.

The Emporer has no right to point out how we should be doing our job. He is pagan down to his bearskin robe and bone club. He has no bearing of civilisation as we know it. If the Incans were so powerfull, then why are the redarms inflitrating his boundary left and right?

Excerpt from The Westport Times
36 Days Post Event

...due to the Emporer's announcement on the radio on the Dominion's "insult", mass drives of Quechan descendents showed up at Argentilean bases to sign up for their annual registration. It is not known why such a reverse effect has occurred; some officers point out the relative success they have under the Taatisi act as well as the "new enlightenment" that Taatisi himself promoted. Many of the recruits have been taken and sent off to green camp, most notably in Quiting, OT. More recruits from various other communities are continuing their duty to the Crown with even child-bearing women showing up. (...) Those of the civilian nature have been assigned the C Corps where they will hopefully bring strength to the Dominion....

...in the meantime, Nisi communities have suddenly experienced the opposite effect with many commonplace citizens being scorned at their "warmonging" of our Incan neighbors. Supposedly, the belief is that the Emporer is acting on the behalf of the Japanese Emporer, whom seeks to expand a stronger hold on the Continent. Already several innocents have been stoned in the remote villages of the Dominion with District Guards quickly dispatched to cease all future events. Most Nisi citizens on the Chilean street have taken the guise of "being Korean" or "Chinese" to avoid persecution on the street. Ironically, this guise has inflamed the Korean/Chinese citizenry to the point that District Guards have been dispatched to stop angry mobs from forming. Prime Minister Mendez has pleaded to the nation to cease all hostilites against each other and, surprisingly, has poked Cardinal Epoz to do the same on national radio....

Excerpt of editorial from Chan Chan Newsletter

...I think it is quite obvious what sort of nation the Dominion of Chile-Argentina is. In our old universe, I held the view that we should pursue a thawing of the cold diplomacy and constant border skirmishes of the European nations to our east in order to finally have peace for our people and all the peoples of the Pacific Ocean, as well our European neighbors. Some of my colleagues have said that the Dominion is simply 'barbarous' and seeks to conquer our nation, but I feel we should try to better understand them before we rush to rash judgements. As it appears to me, the Dominion seems to be a nation constantly at war with itself, as witnessed by all of these 'liberation fronts' and the persecution of those of their citizens that are descended from our brethren across the Pacific, the Japanese. As alien as it may seem to us, who have have long enjoyed domestic tranquility with our homogenous population, the Dominion is made up of various peoples who each claim their own seperate and distinct 'national identity' and each seek to carve their own realm from the Dominion. Perhaps as a ploy to divert attention from their own internal strife, their newspapers and, yes, even those of their government seek to pin the blame for this same internal strife on foreign governments. They apparently did the same in their old universe with another European grouping from the northern continent and they seek to do the same in this one with us and the Empire of Japan. This is not an unknown phenomenon, as witnessed by Europeans of our own universe and especially the xenophobic Chinese. Though I long for the days when we Incans can finally live in peace and prosperity, we can not have true diplomatic peace with the Dominion while they continue to lack inner peace...

...the sheer ignorance of these Dominioners, or Chile-Argentines, or whatever this group of Europeans calls themselves, astounds me. Calling the Emperor and our people barbarians! They who glut themselves with the blood of their own people on a daily basis, as if they were so many tribesmen of the Aztecs of old. But, no, they say it is only in the interest of 'security'. And they say they are doing just fine keeping these redarms in their territory? Then what are they doing coming into Incan land? If their military were a quarter as ingenious or powerful as they make it out to be, they wouldn't have these redarms in the first place...

Those listed in the Qweni Act are also required to show and give an accounting of their past days....

...contact has been made with the Kingdoms. Celebration has been made in the streets of Wellington as well as a collective sigh of relief that it has survived (in some form or the other). Actions by Acting-Chancellor Mendez has been made in some effort on having them as mediators in the current Incan Affair although it is not known whether they will understand such urgent telegrams. A translator from Brasil and (our) Australia has been retained to make it as "pure" as possible...

...has been reported to be in fair condition. Culprits behind such a dastardly deed were mainly attributed to the QLF, who were promptly executed when Greycoats raided a suspected den in Bilgewater District. This raid was quickly followed by other raids within the area with most of the suspects either sent to interrogation or simply killed on the spot. It is because of the Greycoat's success that much of the troops have been removed back to their bases and the authority restored to the District officials...

...Commoner Williams (L-Southmark) has proposed to Acting-Chancellor Mendez to repeal the mobilization of the Northern Corps due to the effects that it would wrought on the Continent. In his plan, he proposes that an envoy from the Taatisi camp would be an emissary to the Imperial Court on matters related to the border and relations derived thereof. Acting-Chancellor Mendez has taken this into consideration and has invited Minister Gomez and all other officials related to the Incan Matter to a brief meeting at Whitehall Mansion...

...patrol by Enitian Guard 8 revealed intelligence by another military unit on going ranger. Members of this unit have been reportedly arrested with proper disciplinary actions placed upon them. No accurate information on what unit or the numbers have been released by the military; it is assumed that further intelligence will be found by Bluecoats...

....in an odd attempt for peace, Commoner Yaktuza (I-Icepeak) has been appointed Acting-PM for Chile due to the Succession Crisis. Although it has only been a day since the Chancellor's injury, Commoner Yaktuza has initiated overtures to Nisi communities on the Settlement Issue as well as further intregation into the Army. It is hoped that this tactic will be continued by PM Mendez once she resumes her active duties...

...Prime Minister Schrolen has been apparently been given a vote of no-confidence by his own party. Although this has not been made public, sources within the Conservative leadership have made it clear that his ignorance on the Pategonya Front and pro-Conquisiti opinions are mainly to blame. Some sources even tell the News Report that such a movement is a cultivation of other policies he has instigated pre-Event with the Brazilian Affair as an example...

...Movement within the Argentiliean Parliment has been made on amending the Emergency Act on succession and ambassadors from our world. So far, much of the ambassadors have been lumped in with our government and are currently serving within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is also the matter of the Kingdoms, who have yet to be addressed and if His/Her Majesty will be readily assumed as Head of State for the Dominion....

Prices are at usual price with security done by the 18th District Guards. It is not known if additional seating will be required...

...first defense contracting firm from Brasil have been reported to be opening in Nyuk Harbor. According to the statement by the Ministry of Commerce, the firm will be selling wood bumpers for piers as well as ships. It is not known if the wood bumpers will be the usual size or of a thicker width...

...effort has been made to the Brasilian military forces on a wargame set in the Borrons. Whether or not their veichels will be up for the terrain it is not known. Those in "combat" will mostly be of AB and AI origin. Commentary by the Brasilian Ambassador has not provided further detail on what Core they will be contributing...

...Crazy Kedro (KYNN) has managed to broadcast his first narrative from Pierpink, Brasil. This narrative was mostly on the "horridness of language" and bordered on the insulting of Brasilian lingo. It is not known if the Ambassador or the NMS did pick up on his barbs. One of his favorite comentaries was on how people mistook him for a "Germanic" thereupon lecturing him on "speaking proper English"....

...This was followed up by C.Adder of WGAN in his famous "Hardtack Times" programme with the commentary mainly on the fishing being quite abundant in some areas. The most important fact that has excited Wellingfishers is the mass populations of the Bluebass fish in Brasilian waters. So far, none of the Brasilian Authorities have spotted the hordes of fishers appearing in bluebass breeding grounds....

…the Australian Church Congress today confirmed Cardinal Sophia Morton as the new Matriarch of Avalon and head of the Jesuit Church in Australia. Cardinal Morton entered the Church at the age of 21 and served as a nun in the Order of St. Juliana for five years before leaving the order to enter the priesthood. Widely seen as the natural successor to Patriarch Faolán óCléirigh, who was attending the Pope in Byzantium when the Event occurred, Cardinal Morton is the first Matriarch of Aboriginal descent. She is married with two daughters, one of whom was attending a seminary in Alexandria on August 1st.

...newly appointed Prime Minister Boa Belem (I-OT) has accepted the job from the Argentiliean Parliment. Although this measure is unprescendented in Parliment history, such measures were promoted by Acting-Chancellor Mendez to "present a united front to the world". The first action that Prime Minister Boa Belem is to confront the growing discomfort that our northern brethern have over the Incan Affair. To accomplish this, Prime Minister Belem has made overtures towards Avalon on the premise of non-aggression to the Brasilians as well as discussion over the aressting of the rumored Dacmen in custody. On other matters, Prime Minister Boa Belem has stated that he will continually stay in his home in Northmark, OT whilst Peer Scholen moves out of Ironhill Hall...

...has awoken from his damages to his person. Acting-Chancellor Mendez and Peer Scholen were at his bedside, informing him of the changes wrought by his injury. In a surprising turn of events, the Chancellor has made motions on making Acting-Chancellor Mendez the actual Chancellor in lieu of his unpopularity in government. This movement has sent ripples through the Chilean Parliment on if Mendez will actually take up the Chancellor's suggestion and handle the reins over to Commoner Yaktuza (I-Icepeak) or actually handle the two jobs at the same time. It should be stated that Acting-Chancellor Mendez is very popular amongst the Chilean Parliment and has been accredited to the revival of the Independent in recent years....

...has been reported that Conquisit Fever have spreaded to our northern brethern. It is not known if Brasil actually possess arms to fufill that type of behaviour but thankfully, has limited itself to a nuetral state. Continued co-operation on commerical and industrial relations have flourished to the point that the Uppers actually can open companies without hired speakers. On our side, however, members from the Austrailian and the Union have been hired as translators in order to decipher the Brasilian talk...

...The Avalon Avenger's match with the Wesmark Wenlers was a moderate success with the Avengers reporting many fouls in the first and second quarter, then replying in force in the last two. The final tally was 10 to 11 with their center Laas Landshark managing to score the winning goal by adapting Quisiti's Dart Run on a zigzag pattern. Although this move was considered to be a 'ket' by most Wenlers, the entire game was judged worthy of another match, this time by the Sou'mark Sidders. The match has been scheduled at 2 PM with extra stands being built along the West Field....

...more debate has been continued in Parliment on the legalities of the Chancellorship. So far, the line of succession has been reached to Prime Ministership although the issue of whether they can declare Martial Law in the Dominions or if that should be let out to the Parliment itself. Most the Conservatives have moved towards the power being destributed amongst a panel of both Peers and Commoners with the Liberals/Independents moveing towards it being diced between the two Prime Ministers....

...Continued inspection by Bluecoat units have revealed a radical faction within the mech companies promoting a very redarm agenda. Whether or not this disease has spread to the other companies, it has been determined. However, Secretary Bill Onaface has stated that his men are still ferry'in out the rats and will comment when his "hunt is done". Lord General Wellington Ruhel and High Command have not issued a statement on why their vigilance is so low. It is rumored that High Command is running in circles on the current political atmosphere as well as the Incan Affair...

....delivery from the Federation of Persia has arrived at Westport. How the tanker managed to bypass the bramble that is South Oceania mystifies most naval authorities since no word has been issued on the Cairo Canal and Phillipine/Indonesian Area is under constant struggle. (...) Refinement of the gas will be done at Smokestack and later shipped over to the major cities...

...Speaker Wing has been formed as part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although most of the Speaker Wing are members from the Ambassadorialship from our world, their purpose is mainly directed to help out the language problems with the Uppers and vice versa. So far, much of the personnel have been concentrated with the Brasilians and Incans....

...arrival by the Kingdoms envoy was hailed at Wellington Memorial Airport. Reaction by the envoy was quite amusing for the envoy commented on the wrong flag at parade. Explanation was made that the flag above was the Kingdoms flag. A later discussion was made on the fate of the Lower Kingdoms and how did they fare in the Event. By early reports from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it appears that the Kingdoms envoy has no knowledge of the Lowers and was quite taken aback on the presumed size of the Kingdoms. No word yet on if the Royal Family still is in good health...

...Debate continues in Parliment on the Acts of Succession. So far, the powers have been evenly distributed amongst the PM's, Parliment, and Lord Chief Justice of High Court. Now the matter comes on whether the Peers will approve of such plans and make it law. (...) So far, much of the Peers have stated that they do not necessarily approve of the Chancellor's powers being distributed so freely. Some of the Peers actually have expressed opinions on giving some to "those experienced" (namely the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Commander of the District Guards, etc).

...gas has been reported at 2P30 per tank in Argentina 2P10 here. Persian oil has been somewhat of an 'awakening call' to Nacional Oil Company, who have revived operations near Icepeaks and Westbay.

It is said that from where he hailed from that our nations never really had that bloody of a history. He then attempted to tell how the Crown had to face their own struggles while building the Emporer. Much eyebrows were raised on his yarns, especially on how the Lord General ceased all progression on military arms, eventually earning the nickname of "Ironducke"....

...The Avalon Avenger's match with the Sou'mark Sidders was a tie. Yons Norman managed to achieve a 3 point run with his famous faker but was soon denied by Laas Landshark's adaption of the same move on defense. Many calls were soon made on the Avenger's lack of originality when it came to plays with some of the players putting on their redface. Thankfully the referees stopped the redface from becoming too amusing and the game resumed. (...) Avenger's owner Bear Lonson has announced for a 3 day rest before the Wellington match. It is not known if the Wellington match will tally up to the sheer amusement that was the Westmark and Sou'mark games...

Quite often the fishermen have managed to elude being caught by the authorities with many a cay being home to a new group of fishers...

...heavy rains is expected in the Wellington area, presumely from up North. Lately the weather has been erratic in nature with some areas being privy to weather one would expect in Summer or Spring. It has been reported that Icepeak experienced a temperature of 80 degrees with most of the penal facilties forced to relocate to higher land due to the floods in that area....

...it appears that the Tildown Tidders are actually a cricket team and not a rugby team. The idea of rugby is relatively new to them, providing many a confused fan on the adoption of a smaller ball and why is it carried in the hands. There was even a protest by the Brasilian viewers on the extreme violence that happens in rugby with very few protection given to the player. To them, it seems, football is the most "violent" sport that they have in their culture. To the average football fan, their football is relatively tame.

...arrangements have been made by Peter Reilly Productions to film a documentary on the denziens of the OT as well as to fim a new installment of the famous "Doctor Mann" series.

Most the Conservatives have rallied behind the issue of a padded chair with the constant theme of the Crown responsible for the glories of the Dominion and other fortunes. Others, however, have pointed out the idiocy of the measure (introduced by a Radical) with the entire issue of the Crown a mute point (due to it's relative inaction to the Dominion). Ironically, the Chilean Parliment has not been privy to such measures with most the members concentrated on their domestic issues rather than international measures...

...of rugby was arranged for most of the Brasilians within the city. Although such matches have been on hold due to the Event, much of the members of both team were allowed on leave due to the ceasing of the usual chaos. Much of the population in Wellington flooded the gates for this practise match with the crowd divided on how much damage the Fusilers would deal to the Knicknocks for their previous match. (...) The Fusilers did a mighty blow to the Knicknocks with Yosiphili managing to orchestrate a full on cavcharge, thereby allowing QuickJim to make a pass to the gate. Although much of the cavcharge did take the Knicknocks by surprise, Brighthed Misili (No. 15th) did interefere with QuickJim's run by doing his famous Leaper move. This stopped the Fusilers in their tracks with Captain Usepfele forced to lean upon his Flanker move. This move was soon outed by the Quertin's defense, adopting the Weddler's Wall and merging with the Pincer. By the time 3rd Quarterbell rang, the Knicknocks had managed to outpace the Fusilers by 3 points, leading the match by 27. (...) In the 4th Quarter, much of the previous defense was caught into a tie with both Captain's utilising dueling tactics in order to gain the upper hand. This only resulted in a brutal stalemate with 5 players forsed to be carried off the field in 5:35 and 2 more players in 5:45. Finally, QuickJim leant his position to SlowBim, whom used the Roman Square to break the Knicknocks tie and win by default. (...)Sadly, much of the Brasilians who had attended the match had bled out by the brutal fighting that incurred in the match with the oft complaint that it was "too bloody". This movement was ceased in the 4th Quarter with some of the Brasilians getting into a fight between Knicknocker and Fusilier fans.

...arrangements have been made for the first trans-national soccer championships. Much of the Northern Division teams have been alerted to play against their Brasilian counterparts with the Southern Divisions rotated once a full tour has been served. Many betters have placed their mark on the Brasilians lack of experience dealing with Striper tactics, especially their long range drives...

...National Argentiliean Dance Company has volunteered for a tour in Brasil. Chairman Banks has thrown out suggestions on their first leg with tango being the first and swing being the last. It is not known if the Brasilians will accept Argentiliean Swig or Yankswing. Thankfully Chairman Banks has included both in order to "cross the river". Most of the prepared listing of dancers have included members from the 15th District Guard Division and the 15th Scouter Regiment, who are currently patroling the Nisi Strip, and are being placed inactive due to the lessening of tensions in that area.

- Peter Reilly Productions have secured an outside branch within the Brasilian city of Avalon on further documentaries and shootings of the Doctor Mann series. Although the series has yet to be shown to all Brasilian citizens, a test audience has been recrutied within the city on their exact response to Doctor Mann Season 3. It was recorded by observers that much of the test audience was relatively open to the uneven quality of that season, some of the participants were interested in the character of Nibor Fang. This has posed some quandaries within the Peter Reilly Productions mainly because of Petrie v. Laveii. It is not known whether Fang Productions will allow much of it's archives to be exhibited under Peter Reilly Productional authority or if a partnership deal will be reached. Current discussions are currently underway. (...) In the meantime, Peter Reilly Productions has been screening Season 6 if other non-binding characters will catch on.

- Wellington Nelson O'Malley Hund has managed to contract a practice field for the Wedder club in South Leeds. It is not known whether Mr. Hund will recruit for another team within Brasil; regulations on post-Event nationals have yet to be addressed in the League.

- A growing dependency on the gold mark has been steadily rising on the Continental Market. Not surprisingly gold has been the standard universal coinage throughout the Continent with the Argentilean Pound regaining it's hold on the Continent from it's Exchangable Rate. Falsemarking has been reported along the non-guarded areas along the border with many a scallywag attempting to trade it for silver or gold. The Economic Ministry has placed protective measures against such fraud.

Doctor Mann

Originally adapted from the Mann comic series that ran in the Wellington Daily News from '54 to '80, it doctumented the travels of Doctor Mann in the realms of time and space. However, in it's initial run, Doctor Mann was not really popular given the limited run of original stories that it's writers conjured up. In it's 3rd season, a popular producer by the name of Peter Reilly bought the series from Wellington Syndicate Movies and put forth a change that propelled the series into new heights.

(...)

Much of the popularity attached to Doctor Mann's growing popularity mainly rested on an orphan recruited from the Lower Kingdoms by the name of Nibor Fang the introduction of Blackjack Tom. Similar to the introduction of the series, Nibor was not entirely too popular with the audience. At the time, most of the fans of the show sent in hordes of fan-mail on why an Austrian was included in a position of weight in the series. Peter Reilly's famous response to this was to include the famous "Wynn" Twist, where it was revealed that Nibor was actually Doctor Mann's ancestor transplanted in the '40's thanks to Blackjack Tom's shininanigans with his machine...

While it is not known the reasons why the Japanese launched a expidition with our southern cousins at this time, reports have been placed that the expidition has run into some trouble with the natives. It is hoped that the Expidition will treat the natives with the same respect as one would with another nation.

...the first border crime has been reported in both Brasil and the Incan Empire. It is extremely fortunate that the rabble that did commit these acts were not attached to any redarm movement nor bluecoat activity. Rather, these were done by fisherman and bushbandits. In Brasil it is reported that some fisherman from the Lowton area were caught pirating bluecod from marked preserves as well as attempting to get away with their catch. In the Empire, some bushbandits did attempt to steal large amounts of gold from a mining company along the border. The Ministery of Foreign Affairs has stated that the bushbandits will be left to hang whilst the fisherman will be pushed back to Lone Roal. Some complain about the abadonment on the bushbandits have been sited by Prime Minister Yaktuza on this apparent shafting.

...celebration was held both in Wellington and Santiago on the formal appointment of Mrs. Mendez as Chancellor. Although the envoy from the UK was not acting by Royal Decree, he was present to give an air that relationships with the mother country can be repaired. The first act that Chancellor Mendez did in her duties was to formally appoint Commoner Yaktuza as Prime Minister of Chile and sign the Succession Act. It is reported that the former Chancellor is being moved to a health facility in Norfort OT and will retire to montior his coffee fields in that area. Chancellor Mendez has remarked that it will take some time for her to move in Whitehouse, much like Prime Minister Belem.

Some of his calls have been answered by companies such as the Nacional Arzentinilia Movie Studios and Peter Reilly Productions. However, there are some certain legalities that need to be mediated in Southwood on the price of labor and location. An issue has arisen on if an entire section of Speaker Wing needs to be employed on surch ventures or if the government will actually give it to them.

Dominion of Argentina Chile

Your Honour;

Negotiations have gone smoothly on establishing a listening post for further information on dealings with the New World. From what my counterpart has established, much of the demands are on the exact numbers that will be allotted from the Dominon and of what branch. I have tried my utmost to provide expertise on security from the Army but they have taken notice of Section 3 and 10. It is their point that if intelligence is gathered; therefore a member from Section 3 & 10 should be present in this sharing. Your opinion is needed on those members that are of availiablity and those that are not.

There is also the matter of the fishermen from Lowtun. Avalon has been most gracious on allowing our fisherman to grange in their waters as so long as they are cautious in their task. This boundary poses a certain risk to our industry with the publicly stated fact of the bluecod in large numbers giving a certain hope to those that float for their food. There is also the matter of other breeds and stock that live within that area. Again, I plead assistance on the exact policy I should tread on this matter.

His Excellency

Sept 17th

Today I am delighted to find a Veyneross opening in Avalon. Thankfully they have all the foods that I have longed for while working here in Brasil. The only thing different is the burber, which has been corrupted to the Yankish "burger". Much of the workers have taken residence at the growing Dactown with bonuses paid for their transplantation. Business was good with most of the Brasilians enjoying the sauserbun and the jamcracker. Some actually asked if most of the Veyneross's owners were Judish- which is really funny because msot of them are Creole.

While eating my shromberber, some vicar came over and got into a discussion about missions. Whilst they are carefree on any rules that a Papist might cling on to, they are prickly on the rules that are in those Kirsche that have taken root here. The Vicar was mainly taken aback on the issue of the saints and how they seem to "mess up th' Word o'God". I allayed his feelings, stating that it's the Creole Way and that I was really not the person to be approached on that subject. 'Course the vicar then tried to push on the idea on how native Dac'ers seem to be repelled on the idea of them bein' married and having kids within the Kirsche. I attached it with the whole border snags and relayed him to the Ambassador.

Imagine to my surprise that I was half an hour 'yond my whistle break. His Excellency took the excuse in stride and thus I went on to work.

...While I must agree with the principle that our nations must unite to face off any other conflict that might break out within our world; the fact must still remained on who is doing the talking. Scant information has been revealed of the United Provences of India as well as their motivations for doing so. Do they seek peacefull aims or creating a bloc as the Gringos did in our world? We simply do not have that information.

It is my opinion that a firmer bond should be stated with those allies that we do have in anticipating events such as these. Brasil has been kind enough to allow several listening posts along the Norde Coast and their western boundary. Northern Australia has also repeated this gesture by selling land to the Army in founding recepticals in the same manner.

Yet the point remains of the other allies that we possess. What about the Federated Republics of Guyana/Columbia? What about Hawaii and the CSSI? These two areas would be quite ideal in establishing the former dominance that we possessed on the Continent.

Minister Gomez and Chancellor Mendez must appeal to these goals else we shall be shunted away in our own squabbles and reglegated as Poland or New Zealand.

Dear Editor-

Amongst the many things that Chancellor Mendez must address in her new term is the matter relating to our northern border. While a shaky peace has emerged between our two nations, hostitilty still reigns within the Northern Provences. It is an unspoken fact that much of the Border Guards have started to conduct live-fire exercises within the areas near the border as well as heightened security by bluecoats in advent of an invasion.

I am not a Conquisiti. I am heavily pro-Liberal with much of my employees either Taatisi or Japanisch. In fact I am seen more in Japanisch rituals than at the usual Mass or Saint's Day.

But the fact still remains on our northern border. Who knows what the Empire is doing to it's fellow Empire? Are they armoring them with super-jets and tank-busters? Do they have AA missiles or an A-Bomb?

They are not talking and neither is the Ministry. Let us hope then that the bluecoats are ever vigilant and the government true.

Dear Editor,

In response to Mr. Menyot's letter, I must protest on the presumption that the Incan Empire poses a threat to the DAC. While it has been noted that no attempt has been made on a stable peace concerning the boundaries, there has been less hostile attitude towards the Imperial Envoys. In fact, a fourth game of football has been scheduled amongst the Border Guards that patrol the Allende Sector with odds favoring the Imperials.

The Incan Empire poses as much potential as the Brasilians with the added need of extending our friendship to that limit. They do possess the ample resources that Norwes Territories did sit upon and could be used in the modern day. Let our Conquisiti tendencies not cloud our eyes and simply treat them as the Brasilians or the Guyanians.

...today it was reported that another nation has appeared in the areas formerly occupied by Russia, Ukraine, and the Indian Dominion. Whether or not Whitehall will make the motions to open relations with those nations has not been stated. However, the growing concerns that Whitehall is mainly concentrated is the succession crisis and the issue on the OT. Lately, there has been movement within the OT on being a sovereign dominion within the DAC (much similar to the Falklands) with the growing opinion within Parliment on having the OT holding the status that the Falklands have. This has been countered by most Commoners of that provence, due to the booming economy that has emerged between our northern neighbor. Their proposal is mainly to have it similar to the NWT with an emphasis on giving their provence as much liberty as Chile or Argentina. Debates on this issue have taken the HoC hostage with actual physical fights breaking out with the Commoners as well as lobbyists for the OT's cause. Her Honour has made it clear that these fights would cease if continued to swords with her actual presence lodged behind the Sovereign's Chair....

...on the other hand, commerce has not been so robust with the Empire. Much prejudice has broken out on the ideals that the Empire has as well as the favouritism that it shows to Taatisi merchants. This has resulted in street fights with the formal threat issued on martial law stated in the areas of combat. There is also a growing disagreement on what the Ministry of Interior's actual approach on the issue of border security and redarm inflitration. Although the redarm threat has been averted, there has been a steady increase of illegal miners crossing the border for the precious minerals that are steadily decreasing in the Norpeak region. Exact procedures on extraditing caught miners within Empire territory has not been addressed. Rumor has it that most of the prisoners have managed to be 'let go' due to the revealing of their "Taatisi" heritage. It has not been firmly stated on what the Empire's approach on this tactic will be but a surge within the gold/silver market has been recorded in Santiago...

...Trade has been officially established with the Federated Republics. Although much of their denziens do have relations with a dominant Spain, no conflict has been recorded on issues of language and heritage. Much of their commodities are mainly related to medical items in which our nation lacks, as well as warmwater fish that are a blessing to most eateries on the coast. Assistance has been dispatched to that realm on aiding their economy as wel as the matter relating to civil disobedience...

...conflict has been emerging with the Brasilian's view of religion and the Catholics. Supposedly their view of Christianity is akin to Protestantism, which does not bode well to the missionaries dispatched to that region. Some converts have been lodged with the Juden Kirsche, with the actual Judes of that land also in a dizzy on the variations that the Juden Kirsche have. Most of the Judes are prickly on the issue on whether the Chrisitian traits of the Kirsche should actually be recognized as Jude or a "break" with the Kirsche. Not surprisingly, much of the converts to the Juden Kirsche are Brasilian Taatisi's and streetmen...

...more production companies have made the move to Brasil, taking it's low taxes to the limit of their various production capabilities. It has yet to be determined on if the famous Penaut Galler will be revived from the wastebasket den it has resided in....

...Prime Minister Belem has been reported on recruiting the Pategonya representatives to the Liberal Bloc. There has been rumor within these representatives on a new party being founded strictly based on regional interests. Such a move has alerted the Conservatives whom are attempting to do the same although with actual party administrative posts....

...an effort has been made to found a "League of Nations" based in India. Much of this effort has been scoffed at by other nations with poor Australia being the only nation that actually has ratified the proposal. It should be said that within the nation, much changes has been made to formulate a "frontier gov't" in which the PM the ultimate source of power. This fact has yet to be confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs....

Although it has yet to be determined on how will that territory be divided amongst the various states populating that region, one can only guess that the majority of the oil deposits will be going to the UPI. It should also be noted that the UPI is currently in motion on it's 'Eurasian" Conference in which several issues on border security will be the matter of discussion. From the interception of radio traffic by Honolulu, it seems that much controversy is attached on Qing China's acquisition of former Tibet as well as "Horde Lands'.

These comments have not been commented by the Chancellorship with the conclusion derived on the idea that this refusal is the reason why much progress in the diplomatic sphere has not been made....

...Efforts on luring the Pategonya Bloc have yet to provide success. So far, the records in the House of Commons have proved that they are voting along the old lines but showing their own regionalism in other issues. It is said that PM Belem has scheduled a meeting with Her Honour on the Pategonya's lack of firm commitment on a party line...

...Minister Gomez has provided the reason of existance in a scathing letter to the Editors of The Wesport Times. It seems that he is currently in Honolulu establishing an embassy that would provide better communications througout the Pacific, thereby linking up with Northern Australia & New Zealand. There has been some hints within Whitehall on why the Minister was dispatched to such a remote location when he could have made progress on the Continent. Supposedly, the rumor goes on how a certain group of Peers used their influence to dispatch the Minister to that location with the apparent moving of their own candidate within the Cabinet. However, this rumor seems to be unsubstantiated with the Peers currently involved on the OT crisis and luring of the Pategonya's to their Party...

...members of the Pategonya have managed to join the Chilean Liberal Party. Although this move was expected, most betters were in favor it joining the Labor party or the Independents. This move does pose some difficulty in the Parliments due to the difference of politics between our two realms. Those of the Labor Party are less into regonalism as their Eastern neighbor. However, members of the Chilean Liberal Party are less unified in their agenda and mostly are of Yankish origin with the exception towards health and the education....

Statements issued by the Honolulu Embassy aren't too clear on if this is an actual nation (similar to the Horde) or if this is a breakaway state in the CSSI. It has been recorded that another island- by the name of Manus- has been given independence but is being protected by the CSSI. The Dominion of Australia has not necessarily opposed to this due to the preoccupation with what was Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The Embassy has also reported a lack of communication with the Hebrides (Phillipines) and lack of exploration of that realm. A spokesman from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has attributed this habit to other concerns within the word; India, Caucuses, and Manchuria....

Bluecoats have been said to been dispatched to eliminate these rogues but it is highly suspect that much of these movements are, in fact, Bluecoat agents seeking the exact number of arms sold by the Incans and/or given to them...

...there has been much discussion about selling the Gull Hawk prototype, especially in lieu of the success that they have been up North. Simsoc Securities has been the first company to open a branch in that area with actual Hoverhawks being produced for survelliance along their border as well as exploration of the Amazon rainforest....

Although this is quite evident by the existance of such state, some Taatisi's have been excluded from these favors, with the claim that they do not look "Quechan" enough.

Some of the diehards have managed to erect enclaves within areas not discovered by Imperial soldiers and have managed to arrange 'Liberation' style fortifications. This movement, however, has forced Prime Minister Yaktuza to push for the Moble Groups to firmly cease all activities towards the border due to the Empire's anti-Europanos attitude....

...merchants within the Empire have gone to some lengths in recruiting people of Japanisch descent. It seems that Taatisis aren't really treated as well as rumored.

Excerpt of editorial from the Cuzco Gazette

...about time, I say! These Chile-Argentines have been infiltrating our border for the last few weeks (and shortly after this latest war scare no less!) and have been illegally mining and stealing our mineral wealth to send back to the Dominion coffers in Wellington. This publication has been demanding that attention be paid to the situation and the Secretariats in Cuzco have finally listened. Those local officials near the border with the Dominion still believed we lived in our old reality, the one where their territory was safely deep within the borders of the Empire and Shippou, that extension of our reality's Empire of Japan, was on our eastern border where the bulk of Chile-Argentina now lies. Those fools allowed all of these illegal miners and even, I joke not, Christian missionaries to cross into the Empire and steal our wealth and subvert our people.

But no longer, I am happy to say. Bureaucrats from pre-Event border territories have been sent to replace the fools on the Empire-Dominion border, and reinforcements of the Army and its Flying Corps have been sent to throw those Chile-Argentines back into the Dominion. As I'm sure you have heard, some of these Chile-Argentines fortified themselves into the rougher country of the area as so many of the Dominion 'redarms' seem to do in their country. As if they belonged here! Again, I am happy to tell you readers that the Army has begun deploying our new heavy armored vehicles, or tanks as our Japanese allies call them, as well as anti-tank and battlefield support helicopters to assist the regular Army and Flying Corps in finding and reducing each of these Chile-Argentine fortresses.
