Towards an important political shift?

News from Nohol lately seem to show that important political changes are to come by the next month.
The rhetoric of Fañch Kermaria, leader of the PRS, the second most influent Radical Socialist Party, and leader of the Opposition, is going more and more towards a centralization of the Radical Coalition of the Opposition he's leading. According to him, it is by union that true communism will defeat Syndicalism and Socialism.
This change comes at a very opportune moment as the PNpC (Parti National pour les Communistes) has officially announced its bankruptcy. Some twenty bailiffs have entered the HQ of the party and have taken everything they could to pay its debts. The party's secret documents have also been taken by the bailiffs even though they shouldn't have been. The Government claims it is "a terrible error that is fixed as the documents have been destroyed" (it is not true).

At the total opposite, the most right-wing party of Nohol (the liberal "Alliance Libérale" party) is knowing some troubles as an inner faction has begun to form, criticizing the collaboration Liberals are doing with the Syndicalists. It has been qualified of "unnecessary deal with the devil" and has to stop according to the most right-wing members of the AL Party.

To conclude with the dominant UPS Party, the Syndicalist one, a secret memo written by Solomon Bouranger to Gustave Lyvelain, respectively second and third most influent persons in the Party but also respectively, Vice Chief of the Union, Minister of the Economy, Budget and Finances and Minister of Collectivization and Interior leaked.
It seems the note contains the resume of a secret meeting in the Party Lyvelain couldn't attend due to sickness and has caused quite some turmoil. The memo is about the necessary need the UPS has to "stands supreme as the only party that matter, against all opposition". This very undemocratic and unconstitutional sentence has immediately been denied by the concerned individuals. Bouranger said to the press:

"This attempt to strike the UPS is an obvious frame-up organized by the Radicals to destabilize the Coalition. The reasons for this are blatant! It is to make our latest Amendment for the Book of Rights fail.
This Amendment contains new rights in favour of the LGBT+ Community and goes against the beliefs of some Radicals. It is shameful! I hope my fellow citizens will hear the truth and stop believing the lies said by the Radicals"

Trading Nohol

Trade Port opens its gates

After approximatively six months of activity, the Port of Anne-de-la-Loire has once again been upgraded. It is now able to welcome 70 000 travellers, who would stay behind its huge walls of Renaissance/Classical inspiration.
A Commissar-Provost General of the Port of Anne-de-la-Loire has recently been appointed by the Government after the function was created. He will be in charge of welcoming and accommodating the foreign merchants coming into Nohol.

In addition to the already well going deal made with Hakha to trade Lemons, Coffee and Bananas, the COGERE (Conseil General de Régulation des Exportations), the General Council for the Regulation of Exports (and also Imports) has contacted the Government of Alicetopia and Doctors Orvos.
The COGERE (sometimes written CoGeRE) is the politically neutral Government's company which has the absolute monopoly for all Import-Export business from and to Nohol and it is consequently mandatory to go through this organization to trade with Nohol. The purpose of the COGERE is to export what Nohol overproduces and to import what the nation needs. Right now the nation overproduces many things, mostly related to the primary sector: Salt, Buckwheat, Cabbages, Wine, Cheese, Fur, Fishes, but also what Nohol is doing best: handmade wood-crafted objects. The Artisans of Nohol are producing many wooden object with an high precision. They can be decorative object, but also music instruments and the pride of the nation: wooden sailing boats.
While usually Communism and Traditionalism together is considered an oxymoron, it has been refuted by Nohol. Indeed, many sailing ships of the Middles-Ages and the Age of Sail, like caravels, bricks, galleasses, schooners, carracks, fluyts or galleons that belong to the past, are still produced like our ancestors did in Nohol. These might be useful for reconstitution, but also training on sailing ships or simply to be sold to naval enthusiasts. All are invited to purchase them! Their quality has been proven in many occasions and events

The Isles of Nohol however are in desperate need of Informatics Products and Medical advanced goods. It also needs to import new cars as Noholian ones are pretty old now (in average, produced in 1990)

The Director-General of the COGERE offers Alicetopia's and Orvos's Government and major Companies come into contact with Nohol to establish trade, the Government of Nohol won't put any tariffs and is simply looking for commercial balance and no trade deficit.
