Breaking News! Bomb Maker Apprehended Outside of Grundari Capital ![]() Nilos Horthy a bomb maker with links to the grundarian separatist movement was apprehended by imperial internal security officers following a tip off from military intelligence that had traced his whereabouts to a small village a few miles outside of the grundari capital of Zoldvaros. Horthy will be held in custody by authorities in the Grundari state before being transferred to osterea to face charges of terrorism and high treason against the empire. Imperial security commissioner Graf Helmut Von Otaker has called the arrest a decisive blow to separatist activity which has plagued northern grundari for several decades. In the wake of the arrest the Graf Otaker has promised more arrests and issued a stern warning to would be separatists "The unity of the empire and dual monarchy will be preserved at all costs and any who take part in treason, sedition or consider joining movements that seek to ferment such unrest will be hunted down and destroyed!" the graf said during a press conference in the capital Kronestadt these arrests are likely to increase as the nation readies itself for Vailoria the largest religious holiday in Osterea-Grundari and a festival long associated with the imperial system and the continuity of the state.

Worldwide Celebrations of Vailoria Get Underway ![]() [Soldiers of the Imperial Bodyguard escort the Emperor's Procession into the grand temple] On a momentous day that will be remembered for time immemorial our glorious emperor Timothy-Rudolf II led the imperial procession through the streets of Kronestadt on the ceremonial journey to the great temple of Vailor. Joined by crowds hundreds of thousands of pilgrims that thronged the streets of the imperial capital in the pre-dawn darkness the imperial family led the faithful to the hall of the sun god. Thousands of torch bearing citizens were present to witness the emperor and the high patriarch of the Vailorian church light the ceremonial fires and sing praises of Vailor as the great lord of the sun emerged from the clouds and filled the city with the glow of a new dawn. The event which was celebrated by millions of Vailorians across the world was televised and broadcast on every channel in the empire. The emperor in a rare public appearance addressed his subjects: "As we gather here today to celebrate our continued prosperity we must never forget that it is through the blessings of Vailor alone that we enjoy such earthly bounty! He is the sword that strikes down our foes The Shield that defends the fatherland And he is the judge of our eternal souls Let all the worlds faithful praise his name and as we usher in this new day let no man, woman or child who has been blessed by the illumination of our lords teachings act in a manner that displeases or angers our sacred god. Go forth loyal citizens and spread virtue and order across the lands of the faithful! Let our nation and empire be united always in this virtuous union with him above, a society as bright and eternal as this days new sun! As above so below!" Cheers and praises filled the morning air as the emperor finished the dawn sermon With Vailoria concluded for another year the emperor has announced his intention to visit the neighboring empire of Polmagrom, the two empires have a long history of co-operation and common ground and with both nations being devout Vailorian states this is seen as the perfect time to renew old ties in the face of an increasingly uncertain world. While the imperial itinerary for the state visit to the apostolic empire is still classified at this time many analysts and political commentators believe his imperial majesty will likely seek to increase military and economic ties between the two powers. ![]() [our glorious emperor in his 65th year as our nations leader] |

The Emperor Arrives in Kieverina![]() Emperor Timothy-Rudolf II of the House of Von Styria has arrived in Kieverina the royal capital of Polmagrom following an official welcome at the royal airport. The emperor's visit is a timely one since it is the first visit the emperor has made to Polmagrom since the countries liberation from communist control in the late 1980's ![]() [Grundari Soldiers in Kieverina during the 1980's liberation] Following the successful liberation of the country from the communist regime the emperor deployed the first Grundari state army to Polmagrom to act as a peace keeping force in support of the royalist government and to deter foreign powers from seeking to depose the new regime. The current Apostolic Emperor Stanislaw II August was afforded political asylum in Osterea-Grundari during the decades of communist rule over Polmagrom and was only re-instated as emperor following the royalist revolution and the intervention of the Osterea-Grundarian state military. Following a state banquet that is to be held to celebrate the two nations historic ties the two emperors are likely to discuss defense pacts and new economic agreements aimed at strengthening the two nations regional security and co-operation.

The Emperor Visits The National Memorial In Kieverina ![]() [Flowers were laid by a Polmagrom Honor guard at the sight of the National Memorial] Today Emperor Timothy-Rudolf II visited the national memorial to victims of communism in Kieverina to pay his respects to the victims of the brutal decades long occupation. Between 1945 and the late 1980s thousands of political prisoners, dissidents, Vailorian faithful and others unfortunate enough to become targets of the communist regime were rounded up and imprisoned, tortured, sent to forced labor and in many cases murdered in the many concentration camps created to deal with undesirables. That period of history is now known as the "deluge" a reference to an popular anonymous quote "The nation is drowned in a deluge of blood and red terror" which has become synonymous with that time period. As flowers were laid at the foot of the memorial the emperor gave a moving speech eulogizing the dead. "So many suffered terrible fates at the hands of the communist regime, butchered in mass shootings and buried in common graves with no kin to weep for their loss... Polmagrom has suffered at the hands of such callous oppressors but Polmagrom has endured! the sacrifices of your dead were not in vain! lo and behold you are now free and masters of your own country once more Let us never forget the price of liberty and faith paid in blood by the martyrs of this nation and all devout nations of Vailor!" Following the speech the emperor left to address the national parliament |

Train Bombing in Salzheim: Volscian National Front Claims Responsibility as Security Forces Promise Retaliation![]() A train leaving Salzheim and bound for Saarbruck was derailed following a series of explosions in several carriages. Three men identified by surveillance are suspected of smuggling explosive vests onto the train and committing the suicide bombing.Over 300 people have been confirmed to have died with several hundred others injured or in critical condition. The insurgent group the Volscian National Front has claimed reaponsibility for the attack, in a video released on the internet the groups leader attianov tullicheck aufidivich threatened more violence: "Our forebears cry out for veangence against the callow sons of Vailor! You who occupy our lands with foreign troops, steal our wealth and destroy our traditions shall pay! We will continue to strike until our land is free!!!" Volscia is the most underdeveloped of the slavic Dependencies, a stretch of occupied regions that have been under imperial control since the end of ww1, and its people are heavily impoverished despite the nations mineral wealth and heavy industrialisation. Most profits are either sent to the wider empire or are distributed unevenly between the ruling elite. Worshipping their native gods known as the hill fathers the volscians have resisted attempts by the vailorian church to convert them with the exception of of small urban elite who make up the nations minority upper class. Most volscians claim the ruling class are imperial puppets who do not speak for the wider nation. Most Volscians are below the poverty line and radicalisation by nationalist organisations is increasingly becoming an easy task with many of the nations youth recruited by terrorist groups every year. The Reichs-Marshal Paul Von Klaus has promised retaliation for the attacks "If these cowards think that harming innocent civillians will weaken this great empire's resolve they are sadly mistaken! We shall show them the meaning of retribution and avenge the victims of this heinous act!" The imperial Herrenhaus is in session debating a motion to increase the number of troops in the Volscian Dependency. Currently 12,000 soldiers are garrisoned in the region to aid the local government in contained rebel activity( the region has been in a state of civil war since 1982) but the Herrenhaus will now likely increase that force to around 40,000.
