I hope that you are correct, but I suggest that preparations nevertheless occur.
Kollumbia and Deuschmailt
Azulakas
Due to not having access to the app, nor any links to the outside world outside older communication lines, Azulakas will not be attending such conference.
In other news, transmitted via radio and the last mail ships out of Azulakas, the congress has reintroduced an old law requiring the navy to prevent any foreign ships to enter Azulakassian waters, amended with an article enfolding the new Aerospace force to patrol the skies. Civil unrest has also increased due to warrants being issued to arrest any person involved with the re-building process, having come into contact with Roxium workers during such times. The congress calls this act necessary due to Roxium's silence their request to test the workers involved. President Aquiaare disapproves of their actions, calling abuse of power and misleading the public. "We can only hope that there are no cases, and that the citizens of this nation patiently let the election come before violence."
"This is PLC, live from the Capitol Senate. With the House of Representatives voting 53-36 for a delegation. The vote now awaited in the High Senate, and the House of Nobles.
As of the early vote this morning, The Senate has voted on the matter with 23-4 Against the proposal, and 3 unable to vote.
The House of Nobles, after a stalemate, and using noble Authority, rewrote the draft, and instead of the 5 man delegation, there will be a one man delegation sent.
This new proposal passed the house of Represntatives (hereafter the House), with a 67-22, with one abstaining. The vote barely passed the Senate with 17-12 for, with one unable to vote.
The House of Nobles passed the draft in a 6-4 vote for the new proposal.
The President Emperor will hopefully sign this into law in a few hours.
Meanwhile The Supreme Court is delibirating the constitutionality of using Government resources for Foreign aid.
The Roxium Federation would like to apologize for its silence/inaction on the matter of testing its workers sent to Azulakas. The inaction can be blamed on the rapid developments going on with the Transmu-CA2-Perim situation. The workers in question are from the Roxia Secunda Geo-Engineering corps. Based on the timelines for both the repairing of Azulakas and the Transmu-CA2-Perim situation, the workers arrived in Azulakas several months before the first Transmu-CA2-Perim cases were reported in Honojiwa. Before and during the outbreak, they never set foot in the Roxium Federation Cape of Good Hope Territory, meaning they were never exposed to any of the Transmu-CA2-Perim strains. As for the possibility of them having visited Honojiwa before being called in to repair Azulakas, only a couple of the workers say they've been there almost 2 years ago. Based on the incubation time of Transmu-CA2-Perim, which is 6 to 8 days, the 2 workers would have transformed long before the DDR crisis even started. This also means they visited Honojiwa over a year before the first Transmu-CA2-Perim case was reported. All workers have been tested anyways, and none of them are infected with Transmu-CA2-Perim. One of them is however infected with a different transmu disease, Transmu-AA1-Azeroth-Worgen-H5-SI, a hereditary "benign" strain of Transmu-AA1-Azeroth-Worgen that has been treated with spread-inhibitor drugs. AA1-Azeroth-Worgen turns its victims into Worgen. (https://wow.gamepedia.com/Worgen_(playable)) This particular strain is normally an STD, meaning it spreads in the same manner as HIV and Hepatitis B, but is no longer able to due to being treated with spread-inhibitors. It is considered "benign" due to only inducing a physical transformation, and this particular strain's transformation is able to be induced and reversed at will. It is still able to "spread" by being passed down to the victim's children. The worker says it comes from his father's side of the family.
Roxium scientists are rather skeptical about Monsone's claims of having created a cure for Transmu-CA2-Perim, considering the fact that this is Monsone's first time dealing with a transmu disease. If these claims are true, this would mean Transmu-CA2-Perim would be one of only a handful of transmu diseases that can be cured, out of the few million known to exist. They would also like to point out that the claimed cure may only work for humans, which make up less than 10% of the Roxium Federation Cape of Good Hope Territory's total population.
Given what is known about this new terrorist organization, which has been labeled UTO-1 until further information is gathered, it seems rather unlikely that Dr. Alfrod would work with them due to conflicting interests. From what is known about UTO-1, it seems to be interested in getting rich through any possible means, including a protection racket, as seems to be the case with the failed North Gyotama plot which would have involved deliberately triggering a meltdown/explosion of one of the North Gyotama Arcane Fission Plant's 3 reactors. Going by what is known about Dr. Alfrod, he wants to end civilization through biological means.
In Honojiwa, a restaurant in the Kojiyenu Ward has been surrounded by police. The restaurant in question, Sashimu Luna, is the site of a currently ongoing hostage situation. The primary suspect is a male Night Elf that has been afflicted with Transmu-CA2-Perim-Hono-Uw. He is considered armed and dangerous. It has also been confirmed that one of the hostages, a female Roxia Secundan Human, has just been transformed by Transmu-CA2-Perim-Hono-Uw. Negotiations with the suspect are ongoing.
Azulakas, Monsone, and Deuschmailt
Monsone
Quite an unfortunate dillema, however 80% of Monsonians are humans. And the cure is not human exclusive, in fact it can work with any species. The one thing necessary is DNA from the victim from their original form (like a hair strand, a piece of skin, bodily fluids, etc.). Then said DNA is put into the genetic DNA of Transmu-CA2-Perim-Hono taken from the patient. Using CRISPR the part of the disease that turns victims into other species is replaced with their own DNA. Then the dissease is given to them again and they theoretically turn back into their oiriginal form.
From initial testing it has had 100% sucess rates in humans and human-like creatures like Varlokiri, Elves, etc. while it is uncertain how other species react, the inital results are quite promising. So much so in fact that cases are down to just 3,421 with no new infections or deaths.
If Roxium wishes so, Monsone could send the cure for testing in Roxium and to be used on the victims in the restaurant hostage crisis. After all, it could just be the trump card needed to make the negotiations go sucessfully.
Hello fellow Capers! Based on the results of our poll about what should be a short-hand / name of convenience for this region's people and nations, here are the highlights:
16 nations participated in this poll, with the winner being CAPERS! With 5 votes (31%) making it the most selected option
Good Hopers came in 2nd with 4 (25%) of votes
3rd Place was a tie with 3 votes (19%) each between Hoplites and CGH-ers
Hopefuls did receive 1 vote (6%) with no other options receiving any votes
CGH-ers was the top choice for WA member nations with all 3 of it's votes from WA members
Good Hopers was the top choice for new nations with all it's votes from nations with less than 1 billion population
Thanks to Siknobyrat for this poll topic! As nations like Sparanoda, Uno oscuro and Siknobyrat has done recently, if you have a poll idea please post it on here at the RMB or telegram me as it's almost assured to be made into an official poll.
As suggested, we may take the top 4 choices from this poll and run it again in a future poll to see how nations vote with less choices.
And as always, I'll put up the next regional poll soon.....
Broadcasting via Live Stream on The Transmu-CA2-Perim-Hono Tracing App (Sometimes now referred to as Tracie), a recently transformed Jynn Wex of WonGya.
"Citizens of WonGya and fellow Capers. I know billions of you watching right now through the app have been affected and have been transformed into an alien race in recent days. We are thankful that our nation's brightest had put together this platform we are using today so that we can all continue to communicate and understand one another in this unprecedented situation.
I wish I had news of an immediate cure, or a timeline for when we will be able to reverse what's happened. But unfortunately, that is not the reality right now. The Transmu-CA2-Perim condition is completely new and naive. So even though we have the highest-ranked in advanced science and technology of affected nations within the region, we still need time in order to gain a better understanding of the facts and solutions to this crisis. Even as we speak, our nation's top scientists are hard at work analyzing samples and running trials so we have those answers we are all seeking soon. Not just us, but nations like Roxium, of which this situation started and Monsone, and many others are all making progress in this area and we are in the process to work with them to help advance things as quickly as possible.
Many of you may have heard of other nations decrying that the situation here is a hoax, or that our experiences here need not be believed. I understand that this may seem very hurtful to those of us affected, for whom this is all too real. I wanted to let all nations know that here at WonGya, internationally recognized as among the top 5 nations in the international integrity index for the region, that we do not lie, and have nothing to hide. We understand that what is observed and the specifics of the conditions here are somewhat different between certain people and even certain nations. We openly invite any nation to look at our data, shared open-sourced through our app on a blockchain repository. We would also be happy to send samples or take place in shared trials with other nations, as long as it's in a safe environment so that we can all better work towards a cure.
We are lucky that some of our best, who were amoung operation DiePie has recently recovered from this condition and appear to have developed antibodies against Transmu-CA2-Perim-Hono. As some of you are aware, even though initial tests indicate they did not have the same strain as what has affected most of the nation, they seem to be resistant to what almost all of us now have. They will now act as our ambassadors in this area with other nations, as they are likely the safest from further impact.
I will turn things over to our admin controller for this stream to switch to any other nations would like to speak on this matter." *CLICK*
"This is breaking news! As of five minutes ago, The Pogzdan Supreme Court of Justice reached a landmark decision. In the case of Webber v. State of Tyrolin, The Supreme Justices of Justice ruled with a 8-1 majority in Upholding a law of Sapience. This law, which upheld Humans as the Highest form of Pogzdene Citizenship, was deemed unconstitutional by Mr. F. Webber, who had attempted to marry an Elf of Roxium. This was appealled in all 6 levels of the State and Federal Judiciary, until Mr. Webber and his spouse attempted the appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice. After weeks of delibiration, the court reached a decision to maintain their wedding as legal, but have added an important clause to the Constitution. Here is amendment 12 to the High and Holy Federal Constitution of the Glorious Federal Republic of Pogzdan.
"With regards to all extraterrestrial planets, claimed by the Federal Republic of Pogzdan. All non-Human races are hereby deemed as "Allies." They will retain certain rights of the Pozdene Citizen Subject, with a few main exceptions. As of two months of the ratification of this amendment, all current non-human races in Pogzdan, and their posterity, will be accepted into the class of Citizen Subject. All non humans at this time are encouraged to renew their Imperial Passport, and Imperial Citizenship Documentation. As the Pogzdene Space program continues into the vast reaches of the universe; We, the Legislative Houses, the Judicial Courts, and the Executive Departments, will advance Pogzdene Prosperity "a terra ad astra."
The Rights of allies (sociis): Allies will retain the rights to a lawyer, a trial, and a reason for arrest. Allies will retain the right of Representation in the House of representatives, and special representation in the High Senate.
Allies who willing become part of the Pogzdene Nation will be granted exclusive Property Rights on their homeworlds. By this, the Judiciary has recognized that only with the approval of ALL three Legislative bodies will the government be able to seize off-world territory, on peacable allies' homeworlds. Allies will be called upon to give shelter to all stationed troops if requested by the Commanding Officer of each individual Corp.
For allies who were forcibly subjugated into the Glorious Nation: For the first five years, these planets will be under Martial Law, or as long as the Supreme Court of Justice, with a unanimous vote, deems necessary. All undeveloped land will be valid for the Pioneer Act of 1871, and grants will be given to all eligible Citizen Subjects, and Allies, to settle the aforementioned land. After the appropriate time of martial law, representatives will be appointed for these planets. After a term, representative will be elected for the House of representatives. Forcibly subjugated planets will not be permitted to have Senatorial representation.
All the posterity of mixed species marriages, as of the two week grace period shall be treated as Allies, but will have the ability to apply for Citizen-Subjectship.
Allies will be allowed to vote, 2 years after their subjugation.
All allies will be regarded as sentient beings, but NOT sapient beings; Sapience shall be hereafter deemed an exclusive right to the Human race.
The House of Nobles has direct authority, along with the President Emperor to appoint an Executive Head over sectors of Pogzdene Federal Space.
This amendment will take effect two weeks after the Ratification by State Senates."
That was the twelfth amendment to the Constitution. We pardon the interruption.
The WonGyan Master Admin of the International Disease Webinar, has given us the go ahead to transmit the broadcast. Here is Under Lieutenant Veers of the Pogzdene Taskforce for the Suppression of Extrarterrestrial Curses, under the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of Homeland Defense, and the Diocese of Pogzdan.
"Uhh is this thing on? Can you hear me? Anyhow, this is kind of short-notice, but here goes nothing. The House of Nobles sent me a telegram this morning telling me I had to prepare a presentation for this by myself, in fact. So, I uhmm, I guess here it is. We here in Pogzdan have two confirmed cases of this disease, uhh.. I forgot the name of it, my apologies. So anyhow, we have had one man afflicted with this disease, actually cured by a priest in the town of New St. Paul, so that is good, uhh... the afflicted individuals whereabouts are unknown. For the second afflicted individual, he is safe, in an undisclosed location. Currently, we are taking preventative measures to stop the spread of this disease. For example, all members of the Government, both state, and Imperial Federal, are uhh... have been individually blessed by a priest. Also all Government employees have been given... uh... what's the name? Ahah, I remember, Dimethylphenethylamine. All companies are encouraged to request permits for mass prescriptions of Dimethylphenethylamine. In other words, we finally found our five Radiation scanners. I think one of those was an Arcane Radiation Scanner. So that's good, I think. Uhh, that's all, my superiors will be releasing Official Reports when we have more information. This is Under Lieutenant Veers, of the Pogzdan Armed Services, Signing off."
Scientists are willing to send the cure as long as fifteen scientists who worked on the project are allowed to come along to supervise the process. However before any testing begins, DNA samples from the original form of the test subjects will be needed to conduct the testing process.
If the nations of the Cape of Good Hope had unified regional nuclear protection suits, would they have national flags on them? If so where?
As nations like Deuschmailt, Sparanoda, Uno oscuro and Siknobyrat has recently done, if you have a poll idea please post it on here at the RMB or telegram me as it's almost assured to be made into an official poll.

Turtle paradise
In accordance with the FAQ of Cape of Good Hope, Hello! This is Turtle Paradise, a Lutheran communist holy empire. Yes, Turtle Paradise. Our population consists entirely of Turtles of different varieties: sea turtles, tortoises, winged turtles, angelic turtles, and whatnot. Pet puppies are mandatory, and replica puppies are used as currency.
Hello from the turtles, Emperor Angel Turtle of Turtle Paradise
Aware that the whereabouts of many military personnel of various nations of the General Assembly remains unknown,
Appalled at the absence of medical treatment to recovered, yet unresponsive military personnel due to lack of identification,
Lamenting that many soldiers who are killed-in-action remain unidentified,
Wishing to reunite those who are killed-in-action with their loved ones for proper funeral services,
Knowing that military identification tags lend tremendous help in seeking missing-in-action or killed-in-action military combatants,
Acknowledging the significant role of military identification tags in the treatment of unconscious or unresponsive military personnel,
Noting that the bodies of deceased military personnel must be correctly identified in order to inform loved ones of loss, conduct funerals, as well as properly bury or cremate deceased combatants based on the wishes of the deceased,
Hereby,
1. Defines a military identification tag as any durable item worn by military personnel for the purpose of identifying a deceased or unconscious body of a military combatant,
2. Requires that all members of the World Assembly issue military identification tags to all registered military combatants and field personnel with the following correct and legible identification categories:
- Full legal name, including middle initial or name and suffix, - Military identification number, - Blood type, indicating blood type letter and Rh factor,
3. Allows member nations to include any other information deemed necessary,
4. Requires that all member nations issue each tag with a duplicate in order to identify the bodies of deceased combatants for initial identification and later recovery,
5. Allows member nations to provide the resources required to produce military identification tags to other member nations if said nation has a lack thereof.
6. Advises member nations from issuing military identification tags to unregistered combatants with public funding,
7. Prohibits the intentional destruction or displacement of active or salvaged military identification tags by any means,
8. Allows member nations to re-purpose the materials in military identification tags after they have been decommissioned.
Vote Recommendation: FOR.
The legislation provides a succinct and useful definition of its terms, as well as successfully identifying the issue at hand.
Section 2, the real meat of the legislation, is simply and easily fulfilled by member nations.
The legislation serves a unified and simple purpose, providing a service to military service members that should have long ago been established.
The legislation encourages cooperation between member nations, as well as protects the identity and rights of military members across the world.
This is Pogzdan News Network, Live from the Capital.
In recent News, The Archbishop has moved the feast of the Holy Blessing of Pogzdan to The feast of Saint Paul VI, which is tomorrow. All citizens are encouraged to attend, or watch a televised version.
President Emperor Ward delivered a statement this morning advising all the citizens of the glorious state of Fenlend to relocate for an indefinite amount of time. This was after a Cabinet meeting with the President Emperor, his Cabinet, and a currently unidentified scientist. His remarks:
"To all the great people of the state of Fenlend, I am so sorry you have to move, it is for your best interests we ask you this. If I was not confident that the outcome through all of this would be overwhelmingly great, I would not ask you this. If you are unsure, or scared, take heart. The Archbishop and myself have your best interests at heart. Due to a recent international aid crisis, Punditium has given us a shipment of materials needed to build you a city in the state of Tyrolin. All those who were a part of this struggle will have a memorial made in honor of your hardships. Pogzdenes! Fellow Countrymen! Take strength in our national pride! Pogzdan has never let a Pogzdene down, and we never will. We are sorry for your inconvenience, I am the President Emperor."
A Military Caravan was seen heading towards the state of Fenlend at 0300 AM this morning. Currently the military is helping all the citizens of Fenlend evacuate safely.
This is Pogzdan News Network, signing off.
In the Executive Meeting Rooms
"Uhh, Mr. President Emperor, sir?"
"Yes, what is it. Underchairman?"
"Why again are we moving the people of Fenlend to Tyrolin?"
"Well, Underchairman, remember that WonGyan Broadcast from a couple days ago?"
"I do sir."
"And you remember the Radiation scanners we found in that unused floor of the Super Secret Unusual Incidents Building?"
"Yea"
"Well, let's just say, they worked."
Cut to a Military Convoy
"What the hell is going on?" Asked Sergeant Pest to the Commanding Officer.
"Well, Under-Lieutenant Veers's Taskforce has found unusual scans in this area."
"SO?" asked an impatient Pest, "He's an Under-Lieutenant for Christ's sake, how does he have the authority to order us to go here on this fool's errand of moving people?"
The CO answered, "We're soldiers, we don't ask questions, just do the job and stop complaining."
Later
"Under-Lieutenant Veers, may I have a word?" asked a scientist.
"Uh yes sir, may I ask who you are?" replied the underlieutenant.
"Yes, Very well, I am Pontifical Agent Marrel of the Archbishop's Special Services
"So what do you want Agent Marrel?"
"Well, I am going to need those radiation scan reports for the Glorious state of Fenlend."
"Alright, do you have a clearance code?"
"Alpha-Alpha-Kilo-Niner-Bravo"
"Very well. Here they are."
Copier Machine Begins Printing
"Thank you again."
Later
"President Emperor Ward, sir?"
"What is it?"
"The radiation scans have come back in sir."
"And?"
"Well, sir, remember how your father spent a vast amount of the treasury on a space program?"
"Yes, but our technology was too primitive."
"Well, sir, with all due respect, uhmmm... we found 7 unregistered ships, and 1 partially damaged registered ship."
"Damn."
"So sir that means, your father could have possibly made more bunkers full of these 'hyper-tech' weapons. And that could take Pogzdan out of being known for being a backwards backwater nation into a fearsome power. With that being said, there is high levels of theta radiation emitting from two of these ships."
"What the hell is theta radiation?? You know I only took the humanities in school."
"Well, sir, its a type of radiation stronger and different than Gamma radiation. Also its partially arcane."
"So it could possibly turn our people into those mutant freaks?!?!?!"
"Uhh... Possibly sir."
"Dammit!!!!"
"President Emperor sir, would you like something to break?"
"Yes"
The President Emperor proceeds to smash a pile of plates on a wall.
"Thank you, Dr. Andreyov, I will make sure the Department of Deep Science will get more funding this year."
Finally cases had been brought down to 987 in total. Lockdowns had travel bans had been lifted, but foreign borders where not open yet. Meanwhile, an odd scene of life in Monsone returned. Protests. See, Transmu-CA2-Perim had disproportionally affected non-humans like the Varlokiri. And while this may seem like it was just how the disease acts, some in the Varlokiri community thought it was a government plot to eliminate them.
This sounds like a crazed conspiracy theory, but considering the history between humans and Varlokiri, it comes and no suprise that when this theory was exposed, it caught social media on fire. And then the protests began. In cities and towns throughout Monsone the Varlokiri and their allies marched. But they where often ignored and even heckled by humans who decried the fact that they still made up the richest group of people in the nation. Meanwhile, a rally of over 150,000 people had jammed central Seversvik and was causing a headache for the police.
The protesters chanted in Varlokiri the ancient phrase "Kgragmal kagar!"Which translates to "Blood and homeland!" They marched with sign protesting the believed disctimination against Varlokiri and above all, they seemed ready to beat up police on the spot.
One of their main gripes was the fact that the use of magic was banned. This was a handicap on the Varlokiri, but had been slipped in into the 1848 consitution and had remained in subsequent versions. A secondary gripe was the banning of ryalty which excluded many Varlokiri who where descendants of nobility.
As the protesters reached Parliament they began to then chant in Monsonian. "Transmu-CA2-Perim estk slvotkalan!" Which in English means "Transmu-CA2-Perim is a lie!" They also chanted: "Njet szvagra diskriminatoria humanickaija!" Which translates to "No more discrimination by humans!"
The protesters protested for several hours before the police grew tired of their chants and decided that it was in the best interest of traffic and the general populace to break up the protest. But this was done in the most brutal way. The Unitadek Rijetskiv or Riot Squads where sent in. Armed with rubber battons, tear gas and other anti-riot equiptment they dispersed the croud swiftly and quite brutally. However no arrests where made because of the rapid dispersion upon seeing the Riot Squads. but the protesters would be back. They knew it.
A convoy carrying the 15 scientists and the cure samples arrives at the Ga-Zulu Advance Bio-Medical Research Labs as the city lights up the late evening sky. Due to differences between Monsone and Roxium medical technologies, plus the fact that the Roxium Federation tends to mix magic with technology, testing of Monsone's Transmu-CA2-Perim cure is done on lab-grown biological material representations of the various Roxium Federation races instead of live test subjects. The representations, called bio-dummies by the lab workers, are generally small golf ball-sized chunks of meat containing every type of cell from the race it represents. Testing of the cure on Robloxian bio-dummies shows that it has an unacceptably high failure rate. Human bio-dummy testing had a near 100% success rate, but the cure seems to be incompatible with Azeroth and Roxia Secunda humans. Testing of human-like bio-dummies showed pretty mixed results. While it worked pretty good on most elven races, it fails 99% of the time for Azeroth Void and Blood elves. Dwarven and gnomish races showed a pretty high success rate, but Azeroth Dark Iron dwarves had a 99% failure rate. Orcish, troll, goblin, and other miscellaneous/hard to categorize human-like races had pretty poor results. Bestial race bio-dummy testing showed very negative results. Analysis of the bio-dummies that the cure failed to work on show severe cellular degeneration. Due to extremely strict medical standards, Monsone's Transmu-CA2-Perim cure has been deemed unfit for use in the Roxium Federation.
The Roxium Federation is closely monitoring the situation. Until things calm down, the decision has been made to keep the Roxium/Monsone border shutdown indefinitely.
Sparanoda is willing to provide Sparanodan tear gas if needed, which includes a mild sedative. It effectively disperses riots by causing both irritation and droopiness, and can be fired in large concentrations safely.
On a side note, Sparanoda strongly recommends that the disease not be mixed with, uh, zombies, as it causes the zombies to heal rapidly and become nearly immortal, most likely due to the way the disease causes biological changes in its victims. This is just in case any of you happen to play around with zombie mutations in your research centers. Sparanoda knows this because...um...well we just know.
