Events

• 3-1 Ten dead in ritual execution, bodies found blindfolded and missing organs in secluded section of a Mountange national park
• 5-1 Agric Chim is selected by the Federal Council as a temporary Federal Foreign Minister
• 8-1 A government crisis begins to unfold in La Rossa. The previous year's national budget runs out, with the Advisory Council continuing to veto the Dux's attempts to pass a budget. Negotiations with both parties have thus far failed to bring forward any compromise. Government employees are told to continue going to work, though it is uncertain if they are going to be paid. Taxes will continue being collected. Some government lawyers suggest that in the absence of any budget being passed, the one from the previous year may end up being rolled over, in order to prevent dysfunction.
• 11-1 Modhes Pkraone goes on sudden and unnanounced trip to the Modhes Cooperative Territory of Haypcswah, to "witness a temple in play."
• 14-1 Insi Q'so is shipped to mainland T'vaqi in the highly secured 255QosoTCPWV. By vote of Senior Magisters (5-4), he is stripped of his role as Grand Magister and demoted to civilian status. He is currently held in the secure wing of a Thono prison. The newly announced overseer of the TCP, Viq Qhisto, orders that all TCP troops engaged in the war retreat. Qhisto additionally surrenders on behalf of the TCP. The T'vaqi war movement ends.
  • Modhes Temple calls for the T'vaqii to hand over Q'so for his upcoming trial and subsequent execution.
  • The Dux of La Rossa proclaims the end of wartime hostilities, so far the only decree in the past several months to pass through the Advisory Council. A statement is made saying the trial of Q'so should be presided over by the entire HoL, as his crimes went against all of the alliance.
  • Modhes Temple concurs with the La Rossa's statement that Q'so's trial and subsequent execution should be overseen by the HoL
• 16-1 advisor Tritone holds another rally in Mineria, gathering an attendance of eight thousand. She calls upon several guests to speak at the podium, including a small number of card-carrying members of the Shipworkers' Union. Talks of a strike aim to put pressure on the Dux, as they would delay the first launch of N.R. Il Dux, La Rossa newly constructed battleship. However, the director of the Minestrici Shipyards, Nicolò Rossetti, states that no strike will be taking place, though he states that like all union matters it, will be put up to a vote if necessary.
• 19-1 Mir'aval Vyitui sends message to Utlian army telling them that, as they are quite close to Thono, they should apprihend Q'so before the T'vaqii can hide him away
  • Lyet field commander Eereret Sumikye responds by affirming that is their goal with the city
• 22-1 Dux Marone finally gives in to the Advisory Council's demands, so as to not endanger his re-election. A new decree, lowering the veto threshold to 3 Advisors, paves the way for a new yearly budget being passed. Advisor Tritone takes it as a great victory, and shows indication she will use the measure's success going into the elections this year. As the fragile Isola-Mare coalition breaks down, both parties will now put increasing pressure to secure a third seat on the Council.
• 25-1 Shabdrung Udzori Etsenegtan of the MPLMoN appoints Julius bu Quincy, a Tun'ilhameng, to the newly created position of Ke-Shabdrung, a junior form of the Shabdrung position.
  • Julius legally changes his name to Julius a'Quincy Bu-Ghivylhna (Deysachni: Julius of Quincy, Son of a Dreamer)
• 27-1 The reactionary modernist branch of the Social Patriots Party of Walstanland has assumed leadership following its latest party congress and while not anything major it does raise concerns over the ideologies growing influence within Walstan politics.
• 30-1 Aakar Modaka Oken and Dux Bartolomeo Marone met in secret to discuss relations.
• 3-2 Magisterial polls open in the wake of Q'so's demotion. Amiqa affiliated magisterial candidate Piqo Thipoqo remains a clear favorite among young voters in T'vaqi. His greatest competition comes from Senior Magister Imis Aris (a subordinate of Gmr. Pili), though Smr. Aris struggles to overcome Thipoqo's months-long campaigning headstart.
• 7-2 Duxal elections are held in La Rossa. In a strange twist of fate, neither Isola nor Mare officially contest this time, instead focusing their sights on the Advisory Council. Instead, Dux Marone faces off against a field of lesser known independent candidates. He wins re-election with 62.7% of the vote.
• 12-2 T'vaqi polls close. Amiqa candidate Piqo Thipoqo wins the election with 55% of the vote in the final round of elections, triumphing against Smr. Aris. This election marks the first time a non-Senior Magister has won a Magisterial election since 70 TT. Gmr. Thipoqo promises an era of trade and prosperity for T'vaqi in the wake of the war. Insi Q'so remains held in Thono. No consensus has been reached, domestically or internationally, on the nature of his trial, or whether it will even occur. As Q'so no longer holds the title of Representative Speaker, the position is transferred to Gmr. Loqa Pili by seniority. Pili, however, almost immediately relinquishes the position to Gmr. Adisa Aram.
• 18-2 Dux Marone states he hopes to see cooperation with the new T'vaqi government and proper punishment for those who wronged the country. Rossan vessels move back to operating against the Qoeul-bo Hrnad, mostly in the western waters.
• 23-2 Mir'aval Vyitui announces the Seige of Mholos, though he's technically not even at Mholos yet.
• 27-2 Kalam La Rossa and Tietero officialize their alliance know as "The Ring of Progress", a union focused on incentivicing the values of progress, equality, unity and democracy. Their debut comes with the announced "Sail submarine", a piece of military technology that was achieved with the cooperation of the three nations
  • Modhes Temple takes issue with this alliance, notes that an organization dedicated to progress must, by definition, include Modhes Temple. They instead suggest the name "The Ring of Not Progress".
• 29-2 Following a rise in housing prices, La Rossa has seen a construction boom over the past year as companies apply for permits to construct outside of city territories. Following recent landslides, the national government is placed under pressure to strengthen regulations surrounding new construction. However, as many continue to struggle to find affordable living spaces, city-provincial governments (especially in the east) have come to approve most projects as long as basic guidelines are met. Various experts warn that current rules aren't capable of facing with today's conditions.
• 4-2 Octavia declares Ronatana "fully electrified" following the "Year of Rebuilding" (fact checkers say the island is 89% electrified)
• 7-3 Advisory Council elections are held across La Rossa. WIth a handful of close races, it is announced that only Salvo Gramuglio (Salino-M) has lost his seat, now going to his Isolan opponent. Handing Isola a majority, it will now be able to exercise the power of veto against the Dux, being able to permanently delay his decrees. Cuscorrado Papregoli, the Modhes incumbent, handily wins re-election, having not partaken in the recent veto shutdown. He remains the most popular politician in the country, consistently polling at over 60% approval.
  • Cuscorrado Papregoli gives speech thanking the people for having voted for him, promises to continue to uphold prosperity in Buglio
• 11-3 Riots occur in 'Ebana after the "protection" wall is finished.
  • Tiya Kena speaks on issues outside of Kalam and La Rossa for the first time in many years
• 16-3 The Grand Council contacts the Rossan government, requesting that Insi Q'so be transferred to La Rossa for an official trial, intended as equal parts spectacle and legitimate legal proceeding. The Council clarifies that La Rossa's legal system is better suited to handle the trial, as many of Q'so's charges have never been dealt with before in T'vaqi courthouses.
• 20-3 La Rossa privately agrees to accept Insi Q'so as prisoner. He is transported to the country in agreement with T'vaqi without the rest of the alliance being alerted. Once Q'so is assessed to be in good health and settled in a prison cell under constant watch, the rest of the HoL is alerted about his presence on La Rossa. The HoL is informed that holding a trial on La Rossa is part of the agreement with T'vaqi and cannot be negotiated, although the other members are invited to attend.
• 23-3 Modhes Temple sends demand to T'vaqii government to give any and all information related to the Qoeul-bo Hrnad. They specify that this is an issue which supercedes all conflict between themselves and the temple, as 'The Qoeul-bo Hrnad pose an existential threat to all that desires existance."
  • Modhes Temple is sent copies of all SDMA investigations and documents relevant to the T'vaqi Qoeul-bo Hrnad. "You all are just as clueless as I am," Gmr. Pili comments rather incorrectly.
• 27-3 Adisa Aram joins the IGRS
• 1-4 Areen Leshen of the National Army sends message to the Grand Council, with an open offer to negotiate an end to the war between them.

• 13-4 Octavia apologizes for the TLP shooting 23 protestors
• 18-4 Maharishi Nawhejas Ubel-Ahut announces that the whole of his ascetic following shall leave from the holy land, to learn from the rest of the world. He states that they will be leaving for "south casea" within a month, where they will travel to become versed in the ways of Gastism, "for as long as such a thing would take." Many other ascetics answer the call to join the Maharishi.
• 22-4 CNN administrator realizes that journalist has had access to the CNNs IGRS for several years, orders radio taken back until qualified candidate can be located.
• 25-4 Octavia sincerely apologizes to the TLP soldiers that had to fire on protesters and the trauma that they had to endure.
• 29-4 Preparations have begun for elections, ceremonies and a new 10 year economic plan system set forth by the Economics Office in Walstanland. The news also reports that Crown Prince Veintin IV and his wife are now also expecting children.
• 3-5 Some trouble stirs among the Montagneri, an oft-marginalized group of Rossans living traditionally in the mountains of Montesuvia, away from urban centers. Villagers from the small settlement of Drano (pop. ~32) bring their animals and block out the construction area for a new complex of buildings outside Lorma, preventing construction from commencing. The Rossan police is called to disperse the crowd, six are arrested.
• 5-5 Gmr. Piqo Thipoqo proposes a bill to formally end the radio communications blackout imposed during the recent war (though most international communications have already been reopened). The vote passes 3-0.
• 9-5 Shortly after the blackout is formally lifted, Gmr. Thipoqo announces the upcoming trial of Insi Q'so for his crimes during the war. The trial, conducted on Lighthouse Island, will be televised live in T'vaqi.
• 14-5 Walstanland reports that an island off their southwestern coast has been discovered after a suspected calming event has occurred and that they are working on making contact with any possible government and or natives.
• 18-5 Mir'aval Vyitui announces pause on advancements in T'vaqi for extent of the trial, but states no intention to withdraw army at this time.
• 23-5 The Dakma has reached the decision that a strategic alliance with La Rossa would be acceptable with the general terms discussed in the private meeting between Dux Marone and Dom Modaka, on the basis that the government be allowed to audit and investigate WATC operations in La Ross to assess conditions due to upcoming lift on the ban on operations in Okrit
• 28-5 Dux Marone agrees to giving Okrit access to data from Rossan anti-corruption and tax agencies, as well as some forms of direct cooperation. He states a trade agreement will be officially announced after the details are settled, though it might find some challenges with opposition leader Tritone.
• 2-6 Ruckus caused at the Utlian-partnered scene of construction of a nuclear power plant in Salino, as a small herd of wooly mountain hogs has been unleashed on the grounds. Although all hogs are said to be captured, the perpetrator remains on the loose.
• 6-6 Contact has been made by Walstanland with the newly discovered island of Saldev and its current ruler Dentin Skeltorpasky, the Veltemen of the Saldavere Voast.
• 11-6 An important milestone in Hapšâw's industrialization, the majority of buildings in urban Goyhalna are now connected to the electric grid. Tokšahalna is following close behind at 7/18ths and is expected to cross the threshold in the next 2 years.
• 15-6 Horror in Mineria today as the Rossan police investigates the compound of the Cult of the Open Sky, a fringe religious organization. A visit made by a deliveryman revealed a shocking act of mass suicide occurred at the facility. The leading theory puts the death of the cult's religious leader, Caelus Fabulus, as the provoking incident, thought to have been followed by a coercive effort imposed on the other followers to join him in death. An initial body count sees the death count at 310, including children as young as 2. A small child has been found in critical condition after a prolonged period of starvation. She is being taken care of at the Morna General Hospital. The Cult, seen as highly secretive and repressed, has made little contact with the general public in the decades since its founding. Its followers' last public appearance has been in 63 PC, when a small group set off to the north by ship in search of an island promised by the Storm.
  • The rescued girl begins to recover physically, but remains mute. Dux Marone proclaims day of mourning for one of the deadliest days in recent Rossan history. A murmur of questions of if something could have been done sooner is pushed through the press.

• 19-7 A mining collapse in northern Salino leaves four trapped down a mining shaft. Following sounds of rumbling, the miners tried to evacuate when rockfall prevented their exit. Thirteen have escaped in the scramble, one is believed to have been crushed. Rescue efforts are underway to try and save those left behind. Advisor Tritone calls for immediate action from the Dux, who has "displayed a stunning lack of leadership as our country keeps falling apart!" Asking for action or resignation, she calls for the summoning of crowds in support of efforts to help rescue the miners.
• 22-7 Following three days of efforts, a rescue team manages to break through into the entrance of the cave. Finding one miner in a state of severe sickness, the trapped men are given food and water through a narrow opening while efforts were underway to expand the entrance. By the end of the day, the miners are brought out of the cave. One body, found beneath the rocks, has been recovered, with the news delivered to the grieveing family.
• 26-7 The director of Illuminata, a consumer appliance company based in La Rossa, announces to the firm's investors that a new kitchen appliance factory will be opened on the island of the Steamworks, employing "100% machine labor" in its operation. Despite some initial uneasiness, projections showing a sharp decrease in labor costs lead to a surge in stock value for the company the following morning. The announcement comes only months after the union of the company's workers managed to negotiate a 6.5% wage increase earlier this year. The director says this is merely an expansion of current operations, and "no domestic factories will be shut down nor will any of our workers be told to go home."
• 1-8 Several TPA (Threat Prevention Agency) operatives are sent to scope out the eastern bay of Steamworks (a little-explored region) and proceed as far inland as possible, relaying findings via radio.
• 8-8 The proceedings to the trial of Insi Q'so begin.
  • "Sham Court!," reads the headline of today's issue of Tromba di Tolia. The newspaper chooses to dedicate an issue towards criticizing La Rossa's legal handling of Insi Q'so.
• 12-8 Siulak Vyitui, Ayatollah-Minister of Temperance, is slammed in the media following comments defending his sister from the calls for resignation, as he gives comments that spiral out into a raging rant that ends with his referring to the laity as "unclean and unknowing" before suddenly realizing he went too far and desperately backpedalling.
• 13-8 TPA operatives return to the mainland. Following this, the TPA deems the eastern bay of Steamworks to be unproductive for development.
• 17-8 All taxes in the Nation of Niueyjar are be condensed into a single land value tax, the emperor and his advisors hoped that this will standardize the tax paying process and help stimulate new growth in the ongoing effort to recover form the war.
• 21-8 The trial of Insi Q'so occurs. Insi Q'so is handed down a life sentence by the HoL international tribunal for his role in T'vaqi aggression against the HoL, the perpetuation of the T'vaqi caste system and the Deysachni accusation of being a Demon. Partway through the trial, he would profess a conversion to the Modhes faith as well as accept and repent for for his Demonic state, a move that has shifted the Deysachni position from calling for an execution towards handing him a life sentence. He will be held in a Monastery of Maximum Imprisonment in Deysachin, under international observation, where he will be regularly checked to ensure moral and cleansing behavior.
  • The concluded trial of Insi Q'so becomes the most watched live broadcast in T'vaqi history, with an estimated 3.5 million viewers over the course of the proceeding.
  • The trial of Insi Q'so becomes the 2nd most watched trial in deysachin, below only a paternity lawsuit of a famous celebrity that was hosted on the Oh Naw He Did'nt! Network
• 24-8 Gmr. Aram proposes a landmark bill that will grant Senior Magisters a vote on all proposed bills, with each Senior Magister having half the voting power of one Grand Magister. The vote passes 2-1 (with Gmr. Thipoqo in favor), making it the last bill ever decided by the Grand Council alone. "This is a much needed change, as the Council is so small in size," Aram comments, "we hope this brings us closer to fairness in all of our decisions."
• 28-8 Mir'aval Vyitui declares that "The lifeless Mn'krapanti state of T'vaqi has been brought its knees. The work of The Temple is just begining, but the work of Millitaria has concluded, for now". With this he declares that the army will leave T'vaqi, but take a port for "permenant residence". It is unclear if he was told to do this, especially since no treaty was signed and he doesn't even technically run the military side of the war.
• 30-8 The costumed TCP agents are pulled from the Deysachni military march. It is unclear whether they achieved anything significant during their espionage.
• 5-9 Mavlihn Kogd, frontman of alternative music icon Four Eyed Horse, begins promoting third album with press tour, wherein he dresses in extremely casual attire and has an ungroomed look as though he just woke up. In interviews he often ignores the question and begins ranting about something completely mundane, and on one occasion interrupts the interviewer to promote a previously unmentioned concert in Oemiñag, coinciding on the exact time of Mir'aval Vyitui's planned return to Deysachin, and will be directly across from his planned speech. In the interview, the other members of the band are visibly surprised and unsure if hes joking or not. The time and location are suddenly added to the tour listing later that week.

• 19-10 Viqho's population swells to nearly 1,500. The town's existing hotel infrastructure (built to accommodate the large number of tourists that attend the annual Q'shasi festival) is able to temporarily house the majority of new residents, most of whom are Modhes convertees. Native Viqho residents are reportedly very unhappy with recent events.
• 24-10 Tokšahalna's East Theater has been outfitted with a film projector of Deysachni production, allowing it to display images on the stage's back wall. The Bureau of Education is planning to use the projector to host foreign movie showings every 6 days. Due to budget constraints and a literacy rate of roughly 60% in the city, a voice-over has been chosen as the method of translation. A similar setup has been created in the New Goyhalnal Theater.
• 1-11 Fromachi III announces that the Eastern Gemnis States will begin dollarising their economy, tying the new currency, the Gemnis Value Unit, to be equal to one Utlian Dolare.

• 23-12 T'vaqi implements the Personal Card, a mandatory government-issued document which every individual living in T'vaqi must carry regardless of citizenship, effective 70 PC.
