Tokyo Mailman (Translated) ("Corrected" by Government Media Administration of Nihon) Tales of Torture This story is a complicated one. Let us begin. "Not long ago, a court case was held in China. The Koumingtan brutally interrogated innocent Nihoners, who were framed as witnesses and perpetrators in a manufactured hoax. - The defendants look nervous and sweaty. The Nihoners look as if they were mentally broken to the point of no escape. The situation is clear. In order to retain Taiwan, China has been torturing innocent civilians, specifically Nihoners, as a twisted way of creating a fake scandal that distracts us from Taiwan and justifies allowing Taiwan to remain within China. Nihon demands that China cease their disgusting and immoral actions before they face the consequences, and allow Taiwan to be free" Goodnight Nihon.

Mongolia Standoff Intensifies Ok we can see a police chaplain going up to the window to attempt to negotiate their surrender *The chaplain walks away after a few minutes, shaking his head in frustration as he speaks with the police captain* Ok it seems that failed. We can see the captain getting on a bullhorn "Attention all RSAL terrorists in the house. We are going to pump tear gas and water cannons on you. It is not lethal but will really hurt. Comply now and we won't" *A minute passes* "Your choice" *Police toss two canisters of tear gas into the house and open up with water cannons. Police are just standing in defensive positions with their rifles, shotguns and handguns drawn After a few minutes, shoots ring out from inside the house. A police officer is hit in the head and falls dead. Three others nearby are hit in the stomach and fall* Four officers have been hit, one isn't moving *The police all return fire. An armored truck pulls up with siren wailing. Officers jump out and retrieve their fallen officers and open fire into the house. Police and journalists take cover with police returning fire. The shootout lasts for a brief few minutes but is feels like hours to those on the ground* *RSAL terrorists come out with their hands up and are immediately detained by police. One comes out without his hands up. He has a gun in his jeans* It looks like he's surrendering but we can't see. Police are surrounding him and telling him to stop. *The man stops and puts his hands behind his head. A group of enraged officers pull him up by his hair and lead him away. He starts thrashing so they throw him down and brawl breaks out. They quickly get him on the ground and start kicking and punching him* They're hitting him on the head... kicking him on the head!? *Their captain runs over and orders them to stop. The thug is pulled up and thrown in the back of a police van. More RSAL are detained, mostly young to middle aged adults but some look to be high school aged* We're going to continue covering this event but it looks like it's been broken up albeit violently. |
The City-States and Leagues of The Land of the Ephyral THE EPHYRAL MESSENGER | Printed 15th October 2031 ────────────────────────── Home ────────────────────────── Foreign feminists clash with Ephyral wives... A non-physical altercation was dispersed by local police last night in the citizen-colony of Nerapis, Italia province. Around a dozen or so women of federate status, believed to be Italians, set up a protest in the forum marketplace of the city regarding the state of "women's rights" in the Freehold. Displaying signs of various messages including a demand for female suffrage, and criticism of the alleged "toxic masculinity" of Ephyral culture, the group were broadly ignored by citizens and federates both until one of the group approached an Ephyral woman and asked her what she thought of the "unfair and discriminatory" refusal of voting rights to women. The altercation started however when the citizen woman reacted with contempt to this accusation, allegedly retorting in the form of "the only woman who demands the right to vote is one so unattractive in character to a man she's trying to become one." The dispute attracted a number of other citizen women, primarily married, who verbally engaged with the protesters for about fifteen minutes. Some were retrieved by their husbands, whilst others remained until local police officers, alerted by the disturbance, arrived to try and prevent the situation from escalating. It was heard that as one citizen woman departed, she shouted over her shoulder, "you [expletive] need a good [expletive]". The protesters were further inflamed as some citizen men arrived on the scene also, attempting to 'pick up' some of them. Police dispersed the event without making any arrests, but issuing warnings to the protesters that they should "go and leave the politics to their husbands", as well as advising the citizen women to return to their daily business. ────────────────────────── Abroad ────────────────────────── Ephyral man hospitalised in Nuak... Local news in the kingdom of Nuak made its way to the Freehold today that an Ephyral tourist has been hospitalised after being shot in the Nuakian capital of Hurlante by a local. The man, who has not been named, is understood to have been in the kingdom with a group of friends, who when questioned revealed the context to the incident. The now injured man expressed an intent to recreate in Nuak the rites of the Purification festival, a post-classical fusion of ancient Selian and Roman rites that aimed to purge excesses and purify the state. Such rites, for our foreign readers, involve sacrifice to the god Purifier (English translation) and the goddess Rhea, queen of the gods, but most infamously, a fertility rite to bring new life in which male youths of cities, towns, and villages ritually assist fertile women by striking them in a state of partial undress. Typically, a light form of whip is used for this, and Rhea in her role as the goddess of motherhood will bless these women with fertility. In the absence of such tools, it is understood that the Ephyral citizen, whilst in one of Hurlante's public squares, decided to similarly bless the local Nuakian women with an imitation of the ritual, expressing a wish to strike their rear ends and handle their chests. Upon smacking the first Nuakian woman he came across however, the recipient of this ritual turned with a handgun pulled and fired a single shot into his shoulder. The Ephyral foreign affairs department released a statement confirming that relevant authorities in both sides had been made aware of the situation, and that the tourist will be repatriated having undergone "sufficient punishment". The same statement also advised Ephyral visiting other countries to observe the customs and laws of their hosts, and not to imitate culturally nuanced practises in Ephyra within those countries.

|| ALEXANDRIA TIMES || | INTERNATIONAL | The Far East Crisis continues! Tensions between the Kuomitang and the Nihonese Empire are at an all-time high in the last few decades, as the Chinese authorities continue to uncover attempted Nihonese sabotage on the Taiwanese Referendum. The reason for this sabotage has been theorised by many to be another attempt by the Nihonese to conquer the heavily-populated, wealthy and strategically-positioned island. Attempts by the Social Democrats and their allies to issue an official condemnation to Nihon for interfering with the referendum, or by far right parties unaligned with the Conservative government to do the same for the Kuomitang for tainting the process in their favour, have both been rejected by parliament. The Egyptian government has confirmed that it is following the recent developents in Taiwan with "great concern", due to the potential cost in both lives and to international trade that a war in the Far East would incur, and offered to mediate through emergency channels if the situation required it. | IN OTHER NEWS... | 1.

|| ALEXANDRIA TIMES || | DOMESTIC | Princos reach Alexandria! "In a world where many live in fear under the rule of tyrants and despots. It is rare to find a nation that so closely matches our views in constitutional monarchism, democracy and freedom. This visit shows that, despite the scars we bear from the fascistic tyranny of the so-called Lord Regent, and the chaos that was restoring peace to the country after the tyrant's fall, we are finally headed in the right direction." Princo Raolisto Shepherd & Princo Kupro Shepherd from Nuak have recently reached the Egyptian Capital of Alexandria, where they were given a full state reception, and warmly welcomed by citizens of Egypt from both sides of the political spectrum. The visit will include highlights such as a state dinner with the Princos as the guests of honour, a tour to the landmarks of the country, and a visit to the nation's Parliament, where the Princo is expected to give a speech. This marks a high point for the diplomatic relations between the two nations, after the two-decades long dictatorial rule that ended in in 2001 with the ascension of Queen Yasmin II, the following bloodless coup that led to the deposition of the Lord-Regent, and the restoration of parliamentary democracy in the country. |

The Martial Republic of Ascoobis The Midnight Star The Sino-Ascoobian Alliance Cotemporary to the Japanese-influenced Taiwan riots, Nordamy and Ascoobian leadership attended a summit in Honolulu to renegotiate trade relations. The aftermath of careful negotiations has resulted in an expansion of the document beyond simply economic concerns, the legislation most relevant to current events that recently ratified was the formation of the Sino-Ascoobian Defense Pact as a stalwart against Nihon aggression. In accordance with this pact and the impending threat, Ascoobian Air Force Squadrons are to be positioned on the Chinese Mainland and Ascoobian Naval Bases in the Pacific are now open to the Chinese Navy. Further cooperation may be negotiated as the border crisis with Nihon unfolds. In this unprecedented move, Ascoobis' Stratocratic People's Council appears to be diverging from their Anti-NATO stance to face a greater threat. Only time will tell if tensions will return or if this is the beginning of detente, the first sign of reconciliation after the CIA-sponsored 1976 Coup. Slaying Leviathan Ascoobis has placed extreme economic sanctions on the Lietoviekii Regime following subversive activities in the Chinese province of Taiwan. Furthermore, Ascoobis calls for the dismantling of Project Leviathan. Failure to do so could potentially be deemed a crime against humanity. Ascoobis requests international cooperation to press put pressure on the Nihon Regime, arguing the moral, ecological, and economic implications of the seizing and mining of the Western Pacific. Specifically, the cutting off, diverting, and even mining trans-Pacific trade routes. Director of Economics Joe Ross is believed to have put it best: "The World must back the dismantling of Nihonese Leviathan. World trade and merchant lives are at stake. Any ship in the Pacific is in danger, even crossing international waters. May it be a foreign warship, fishing trawler, supertanker, or a Panamax. Intentions of a ship are irrelevant. Mines don't discriminate, they just simply detonate." Project Amphrite One of the main points of contention with the Cerman and Washintonian nations, which Ascoobis shares the continent with, is the control of water sources in the North American Southwest, particularly rivers, aquifers, and lakes. That age-old debate maybe soon left in the past. After more than a decade of construction and the equivalent of $50 Billion USD of investment, the "Final Solution" to Ascoobis' water needs is ready for the initial stages of activation. Offshore pipelines will deliver over a billion gallons of water a day to the Long Beach Desalination Complex, the largest of its kind in the world as only the first step in Project Amphitrite. 40-50 such plants are planned along the Ascoobian Pacific Coast over the next ten years to greatly reduce dependency on inland sources, many under the control of the Cerman or Washintonian Governments, which risk contamination with the so-called "Cerman Water".

The City-States and Leagues of The Land of the Ephyral THE EPHYRAL MESSENGER | Printed 13th May 2032 ────────────────────────── Abroad ────────────────────────── Senate calls for Chinese government to talk with ambassador... The Ephyral Senate has requested that the Chinese government talk with the posted Ephyral ambassador and other representatives following the arrest, detainment, and charging of an unnamed Ephyral citizen of Selian origin. The arrest occurred with the suspect alleged to have been taking part in what has been coined internationally as the 'Slapass Challenge'. No such phrasing is used in Ephyra, but the activity itself is known. Stemming from the Purificiation rite, explained for foreign readers in an earlier edition of the Messenger as a religious festival cleansing impurities and ritually preparing for new life, as for several days in the year, young men of local Ephyral communities dress up as 'wild men', reminiscent of fertility-oriented nature spirits like satyrs, whilst carrying long whip-like tools with which they ritually strike women making themselves opportunistically available in public to receive such treatment, with the intent that they are blessed with fertility. It is known that a combination of the recklessness of male youth along with the filling of the role of the 'wild man', that youths have been known to push the boundaries of morality and modesty with further physical contact, including groping and fondling. Cases going beyond this are rare, and for a long time now the expectation of wild men acting wild has been a tolerated phenomena. Recently however, trends emerged with Ephyral men in foreign countries re-enacting the ritual in a public space amongst foreign women. Observers from these countries and others have protested what they label as a cultural enabling of sexual harassment and assault, which first made international headlines when a young man from Ephyra in the Kingdom of Nuak decided to try and see how many women he could 'bless' before he was stopped. Unfortunately for him, his first target was none other than the Nuakian commander-in-chief, who upon receiving the ritual slap to her rear, shot the man who has since recovered and returned to the Freehold. The Ephyral government issued an advisory to its citizens not to engage in such actions and to observe the customs and laws of their hosts, though this has not stopped cases continuing. Ephyral men, particularly in their youth, have already acquired something of an international reputation for their pursuit of foreign women both in Ephyra and abroad, though on a consensual basis. The inferred lack of consent due to random selection of recipients for the 'Slapass Challenge' has prompted a sterner outcry. In Hong Kong, China, an Ephyral man has been arrested, according to Xinhua news, for 'inappropriately [putting] his hands on a Hong Kong police officer and [making] a suggestive comment to her'. At that moment, three other officers subdued him and placed him under arrest for indecent conduct, sexual assault, and sexual assault of a police officer. The Senate's request for talks, as the matter involves an Ephyral citizen, has yet to be responded to. |
Xinhua News Diplomats Meet The teams discussed the matter for about two hours and came to an agreement. The youth will be caned 30 times on his bare back and hands with a rattan cane. Afterwards he will pay a monetary compensation to the victim and will immediately be deported once his sentence is carried out. At the press conference afterwards the head of the National Police, Chen Feng kuang or "Frank Chen", delivered a brief statement on the matter. "We have successfully come to an agreement regarding crime and punishment of foreigners in China. Both sides are satisfied with the agreed upon punishment of this young man. Let this also serve as a warning to any potential criminals that want to come into my country and break the rules. Like what a criminal's parents should have done, we will punish you in a fitting way." Fortifications Complete The major rivers of the Yellow, Pearl and Yangtze have had Coast Guard troops from the Navy placed on patrols to prevent Nihoner entrances into the country. Sanctions Passed 1. A ban on all Nihonese imports into China The sanctions went into effect immediately upon the President signing the sanction bill. The sanctions will be in effect until Nihon ceases all hostile acts and opens for negotiations. |

The Martial Republic of Ascoobis The Midnight Star The Plot Thickens A raid in Darkmount's immigrant enclave of Little Khartoum was conducted today in coordination between Egyptian(Paglaum) authorities and the FEA(Foreign Espionage Agency). An hour-long firefight with resisting unidentified assailants ensued. An Agency spokesperson announced that the events of this morning were related to the ongoing investigation of the recent crash of EgyptAir Flight 388 at Darkmount International Airport several weeks ago and the likely involvement of an anti-Egyptian Sudanese independence movement. A menace who's slimy tendrils has seemingly inspired sympathy among some Sudanese immigrants to Ascoobis. Selian Scare! Ethnic tensions rise after the gruesome murder of a Selian Ephyral Exchange student by a fellow university classmate. Reportedly, Nathan Taylor brutally bludgeoned Petrus Dormaereon to death with an aluminum baseball bat outside his Hollywood dormitory two nights ago on rumors that Petrus had assaulted Taylor's sister, a classmate of the deceased, with a strike to her posterior. It is the latest chapter in the history of anti-Selian bigotry in Ascoobis, which has seen a rise after the emergence of the "Slapass Challenge". Ascoobian diplomats have reached out to The Land of the Ephyral officials with pledges of transparency in their investigation of the alleged hate crime. "This is tragic and not what Ascoobis aspires to be. Petrus' family sent their progeny to Ascoobis with the hope for the best education. We failed them. The living and deceased will be served justice.", reads a statement from the office to Ascoobian Ambassador to Ephyra Tychon Taelnaris. In Other News...

The City-States and Leagues of The Land of the Ephyral THE EPHYRAL MESSENGER | Printed 28th May 2033 ────────────────────────── Home ────────────────────────── African expedition launched... The first to be launched in a decade, elements of the Phalanx Africa legions have mounted offensives against tribal forces and similar opponents in the North African desert. The forces include the more inexperienced units, recently recruited or conscripted, of legions stationed to the Phalanx Africa, including the Third Thunderbolt Legion and the Seventh Victorious Legion, with the more experienced forces acting to support and reinforce. The last expedition into Africa met with considerable outcry, but nothing further, from multiple foreign nations. It was speculated that a campaign would be organised no later than 2035 however, as a Senate consult in 2029 expressed clearly the "intention and need of the Freehold to ensure its soldiers face real combat situations for continued experience, and to offer all sons of Ephyra their right to earn scars and claim spoils in the name of their fatherland". Further details about the campaign is not available for public information, though it is expected there will be updates of significant victories when they occur. ────────────────────────── Abroad ────────────────────────── Ephyral student killed abroad... In an event that has grabbed the attention of the Ephyral people, a student from Ephyra studying in the country of Ascoobis was murdered. Nathan Taylor, the suspect arrested for the act, used an aluminium baseball bat to beat to death one 'Petrus Dormaereon', the Anglicised-Latin for the young man now identified at home as Pheteros Osios Dormaereon. The killing has been linked to the so-called 'Slapass Challenge', a phenomena first seen highlighted in the country of Nuak, after an Ephyral tourist visiting was hospitalised and later deported back to the Freehold after being shot by a woman - who had turned out to be the country's commander-in-chief - for slapping her on the behind. The comments given by the man's friends, that the man had been intending to strike as many women as possible in a mock imitation of a Selian purification festival, seems to have birthed copycat activities by Ephyral tourists, particularly young men in their late teens to early twenties. In China, another young man had been arrested, charged, and punished for performing a similar act upon a Chinese policewoman. The Ephyral government has advised its citizens not to interfere with local customs and culture by injecting unfamiliar elements from Ephyra's own customs into their circulation. In some countries, Ephyral men already possess a reputation for their pursuit of local women. The increased media attention on these cases is thought to be due to the ambiguous or non-consensual nature of what are interpreted as sexual assaults in the form of smacking the rear. This was the motive of Nathan Taylor, who allegedly had heard rumours of Dormaereon's 'assault' of his unnamed sister, identified as a classmate of Dormaereon. This 'assault' was supposedly carried out in an identical manner to other international cases, but is the first to result in the death of the man performing it. Details about the case are not yet unknown, and neither the allegation of a physical assault of the suspect's sister nor the nature of the physical contact if it occurred has been determined. Dormaereon's family, now informed of his death, confirmed that in their communications with him, he had mentioned being drawn to a female student, but had not given names or descriptions sufficient enough to identify Taylor's sister. The country has sent a statement to Ephyra's ambassador to Ascoobis, Tychon Keliotios Taelnaris, pledging transparency in investigating what they've determined to be a hate-crime, citing apparent increases in anti-Selian sentiment. Taelnaris has issued a public reply in his role, stating, "The Ascoobian ambassador is thanked for his pledge to deliver justice to Dormaereon and his family. We request that once all investigative need for Dormaereon's body is exhausted, that it be returned to the Freehold and his family to receive proper rites. The Freehold has an expressed desire to monitor this case and ensure the murderer is dealt with properly." |
