Ryūkō Port Begins Major Modernization Program
リュウコウ港、大規模な近代化計画に着手

Ryūkō — Construction has begun on a modernization program at Ryūkō, one of Imperial Wansai’s principal commercial ports. The project will expand container-handling capacity, upgrade cargo rail connections, and introduce new automated systems intended to improve the movement of goods between the port, surrounding industrial districts, and Wansai’s national transportation network. The project is projected to take between three and five years, with cost projections to be IW¥300B (~USD$1.9B).

Port authorities said the project will also include expanded ship-repair facilities, upgraded customs infrastructure, and improvements to energy and communications systems serving the harbor. The modernization is expected to support Wansai’s growing manufacturing and export industries while strengthening Ryūkō’s position as a major gateway for international trade. Work will be carried out in stages to allow existing port operations to continue throughout construction.

The Republic of Ciselthania

Women's protest

Today, on the streets of Straßberg many women can be seen protesting, with signs such as "Frauenstreik" or "Women's strike". Protest are held because women of Ciselthania want equal payments as men.In Aichen march was led by 40.000 people and in capital 70.000 where on the streets. By research of Ciselthanian economy and human rights it is concluded that average Ciselthanian woman has 20 per cent less economical income than men.

"Equality has not been achieved,and that is good reason to keep protesting. We will protest until we achieve our goal of equality", said Ruth Dreyfuss,former president of women's rights commission "We are not cheap working machines, we are same as men, we can do the same as them, we can work as hard as them. Our country should be ashamed to have this problem, we are all born equal and we should be equally payed for our efforts",said one of the protestors.President Ueli Maurer said to press the following; We are aware of the problem women of our country are experiencing. But we also have to say that lower payments of women aren't made by law, they where not and never will be planned. We will try with all our efforts to make man and woman equal in our society. The Chacellor was also asked about these strikes; "This is a joke, women have been alway equal in Ciselthania, all of this is one big nonsense. Those women you see on streets are bunch of angry feminists, that want to make Ciselthanian's picture of the world dirty in the others countries eyes."

Vice president of the commission Simonetta Sommaruga supports women on the streets, and says she will join herself in the march. The reichstag will have meeting on 3rd of August, the main issue will be equal pay.

Aggresive Naval Patrols (Covert )

A Ciselthanian warship made an increasingly bold approach to the neighbouring territorial waters of Sitakhtar, sailing right along the maritime boarder of before proceeding to return to a normal distance. Similar actions were simultaneously taken near Montgovia, where a navy destroyer actually came within view of the coast. Several international cargo vessels, were tailed by various naval vessels while passing through . The government said the actions were part of standard patrol protocols. These alarming maneuvers were followed up by training exercises carried out by the air force, navy, and marines, which simulated assaults on small islands in the Hermann Sea ( the water body surrounded by Ciselthania) .The naval board would accept esteemed experts from Anglandium and Sitakhtar, as in the previous post

The Aircraft Carrier Graf von Richthofen has reportedly left it's basing for sea trials, officials state, The vessel is part of a revitalisation program started by the Ciselthanian MoD with interests in increasing the Ciselthanian navies blue water capabilities. It is expected to be able to carry 68 aircraft in total, including helicopters and AWACs aircaft. The Graf von Richthofen has been touted for service in Northern fleet, with rumours the Hindenburg carrier may be redeployed to the Southern fleet, though currently there are no official statements. The Ciselthanian MoD have two more aircraft carrier models, including the Shtorm supercarrier, which are due for completion in the next few years. Personnel are already being extensively trained to crew the vessel, with training centres already operation in Gotthafen . Recruits have supposedly been drawn from top classes at the Naval Academy.

CL-01 is a stealth light battle tank built by OLRUM and DAE Systems and is based on the( Swedish CV90120-T light tankirl). The CL-01 was a mere concept and military fantasy until 2025, when OLRUM begun mass producing the tank to enter service in the reservs . 200 of these tanks will be going into service throughout this week. Minister of National Defense stated that the introduction of the CL-01 is Ciselthanian's step to further cement it's position as becoming one of the largest militaries in Khosoran

The National Liberal Movment lead by Chancellor ran on a number of issues regarding the protection of every citizens Privacy and Private Property. Then, candidate expanded on this policy by stateing he aimed to include Data as a Ciselthanian Citizens Property/Privacy right. This policy ended up being wildy popular among Conservative/Liberal leaning citizens.The National Liberal Movment, now moving forward on this platform issue, aims to ensure that Data Collected on Ciselthanian Citizens from the use of their phones and computers is recongized as a form of "Private Property". Under the proposed bill Citizens of the Ciselthania would have the right to;

Be informed as to what data will be collected, and how it will be used

I'm hopful other members of the Labour Union will see it the same way, and come to support the bill"The Bill has after indorduction been moved to second reading by the Governing Coalition, it is expected the debate surrpunding the issue is set to begin duing that reading.

The royal Hapsburg collection exhibition

Thousands of art enthusiasts, history buffs, and media personnel gather in the Musée royal d'art antique in Klingenthal as the descendants of the erstwhile royal family launches the 10th Royal Collection Exhibition which will feature many of the monarchy's most prized treasures and works of art including the complete collection of the famous Ciselthanian Royal Regalia. For this year's exhibition, the organizers had chosen the theme of Femininity and Discreetness which polarized last year's theme of Warfare and Dominance, exhibiting a large collection of weapons that Hapsburgs monarchs kept as a prize from their battles. With Femininity and Discreetness, the organizers prepared to exhibit the ordinary life of royal women, including women in the royal household, to the public where historians involved in the committee unanimously agree that it's discreet. From human-scale dioramas of scenes of a queen's daily errands to interactive demonstration of how a princess prepares for the day, they [the organizers] hope that the people will understand more that women back then share the same daily experiences like men, the committee has chosen six museums around the city where each will exhibit a specific aspect of the main theme. The Coach Museum will exhibit the transports of royal women; the Museum of Allenstein will exhibit the paintings of Hapsburg queens and princesses as well as other obras; the Military Museum will exhibit the weapons and armor of the so-called warrior women such as Catherine I "the Warrior Queen"; the Theatre and Dance Museum will exhibit the famous forms of entertainment for royal women; and the Royal Palaces of Holstein will exhibit various items of elegance. The Crown Regalias will be on display in the Palace of Klescheim. Entrance fee is at a fixed 2 Marks and will go to the royal trust fund.

To: Office of the Prime Minister
From: The Royal Household
Subject: RE: Archbishop of Londinium

CONFIDENTIAL | SENSITIVE

Dear Mr Colville,

I have notified His Majesty The King that the Prime Minister recommends The Rt. Rev. Dr. Paul Burgher be appointed and confirmed as Lord Archbishop of Londinium and Primate of the Established Protestant Church of Anglandium. His Majesty The King was graciously pleased to approve the said appointment.

I have passed on His Majesty's Commands to the High Chancellor (The Rt. Hon. Mark Pembroke MP) to prepare a Great Seal of the Realm to be affixed to the Letters Patent, which are to be produced in due course by the Crown Office in the House of Peers in Parliament. As soon as His Majesty signs the Letters Patent, the appointment takes effect.

For the avoidance of doubt: I have informed His Majesty of the irregular nature of the recommendation as outlined in your earlier letter. The King feels no need to intervene in the Prime Minister's decision not to follow the established practice at this moment in time, since The King would then directly go against the advice given to him by the Prime Minister which would itself go against precedent and could have severe constitutional repercussions.

A copy of this letter has been forwarded to The Very Rev. Elizabeth Hamilton, Dean of the Colle of Canons at Londinium Cathedral, so that the College can properly prepare itself to receive their new Diocesan Archbishop and Primate, and simultaneously be informed about the procedural characteristics of this appointment. After the necessary preparations are complete, I believe it falls to the College of Canons to announce the identity of their new primate to the general public.

[Signed]

Rev. Robert Temple.

The College of Canons congratulates Mr Burgher on his new appointment, and shall ‘enthrone’ him in an ancient ceremony at Londinium Cathedral next month. Foreign members of the Church of Anglandium, such as those from Ariannica are of course warmly welcome to witness these events too.

FORMER KING NICHOLAS VI GUEST SPEAKS IN GENOSHA: ROYAL PHYSICIAN PRAISES ADVANCEMENTS IN TARGETED NANOMEDICINE

Returning to the tropical island of Genosha for the first time in five years, the former monarch delivered a keynote address on microscopic drug delivery systems to medical specialists across the realm and overseas.

    | GENOSHA, Former King Nicholas VI of the Waterlands has arrived on the tropical island of Genosha to deliver a keynote address at the Pan-Atlantic Medical Convention. Marking his first return to the island territory in five years, the former sovereign was received with grand praise, warm acclaim, and standing ovations from local authorities and attending delegates upon his arrival.

    ​Medical professionals, researchers, and delegates from across the United Provinces of Occidentia (UPO), the island of Balenas, and the Waterlands have traveled to the tropical island to participate in the international conference.

    ​Having maintained his active medical license both prior to and following his reign, Dr. Nicholas VI addressed hundreds of international researchers and healthcare professionals.

Innovations in Targeted Nanomedicine

    The core focus of the former monarch's address centered on recent clinical breakthroughs in targeted nanomedicine and AI-guided micro-oncology. Drawing on his long-standing clinical background, Dr. Nicholas VI detailed how bio-compatible nanoparticles are now capable of delivering chemotherapy agents directly to localized tumor sites without harming surrounding healthy tissue.

    ​"The rapid evolution of targeted molecular delivery systems represents a fundamental paradigm shift," Dr. Nicholas VI noted during his presentation. "We are moving away from broad-spectrum systemic treatments toward pinpoint therapeutic precision, ensuring significantly higher survival rates while preserving patient quality of life."

    A Royal Doctor and a Historic Succession

    The former monarch's path to the throne remains one of the most unique chapters in modern Wetish history. His mother, Queen Maria I, was not originally expected to succeed her younger brother, King Nicholas V. However, following King Nicholas's childless death, and coinciding with landmark constitutional revisions that permitted female succession, Maria I ascended the throne as sovereign.

    ​Consequently, her son Nicholas VI unexpectedly became heir apparent to the Wetish throne, despite having already practiced as a licensed medical doctor for several years. In subsequent retrospective interviews, Nicholas VI noted that his clinical career heavily shaped his perspective as monarch, stating that his years working directly with patients in hospital wards provided a grounded, empathetic understanding that helped him connect far better with ordinary citizens throughout his reign.

    ​King Nicholas VI ascended the throne following his mother's abdication in 2013. After twelve years of service as head of state, he abdicated in 2025 in favor of his daughter, the reigning Queen Maria II, returning to medical research, academic lectures, and global public health advocacy.

The Commonwealth of Admin of Elysion

Quick update.

As most of you know this was only meant to be a small side project and it grew way beyond what we'd hoped. It was inevitable that we'd get to a 'slump' and that this would be in September as people go back to school, work and college.

Keeping things chill, slow and simple seems to be working, and I know there are a few of us who will stick around even if we shrink.

Please do invite friends on NS and beyond. More people will help bring Elyision to life and maintain activity ❤️

The Kingdom of Anglandium

Prominent Profiles (1) | Primate-Archbishop Burgher
~ Anglandian News Corporation

Narrator: "Goodevening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Prominent Profiles, the television interview programme where interviewer Michael Cockerell gives you a glimpse into the lives of people who shape our society. We start this series with the newly enthroned Primate of the Established Protestant Church of Anglandium... Please welcome the Most Reverend Doctor Paul Burgher, Archbishop of Londinium!"

A loud round of applause can be heard as Archbishop Burgher enters the stage and takes a seat opposite to mister Cockerell.

Michael Cockerell: "Most Reverend Father, allow me first to congratulate you with your latest appointment as Primate of all Anglandians. How does it feel to be the principal religious leader of the nation?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "Thank you, mister Cockerell. It feels like a tremendous honour and privilege. You know, from a young age, I have always wanted to serve other people by leading them. This position allows me to do so in the most meaningful way. I hope to provide a spritiual compass for those that need it."

Michael Cockerell: "Serving people is a noble cause indeed, but there are many ways to do so. What drew you into the Church of Anglandium?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "I have always been loosely religious. Both my parents were acolytes of the Established Church and we visited its services more or less regularly. When I was 17, a close family member had a terrible traffic accident. He nearly died. Doctors told us that there was virtually nothing they could do for him. But I kept hope and prayed. One day, he miraculously woke up from a coma and since then, he has steadily recovered. I do not claim for one minute that my prayers were the reason his life was saved, but it was from then onwards that I knew there had to be some kind of being granting life and at one time taking it away again. That is my personal version of God. I thought long and hard about how to thank Him, and thus ended up in the Church."

Michael Cockerell: "That is a very moving story indeed. But a significant number of Anglandians identify as either agnostic or atheist. Does the Church have something to offer to them as well?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "Absolutely! Believing in God is not mandatory; I recognise that - though it would be better if more people did - but that is not necessarily what the Church is all about. The Church is primarily about shaping society into a community as God would like. This affects non-religous people too. One thing I do is seek to persuade younger generations to think about their relationship with God and others around them. Most of them seem to be preoccupied with virtually meaningless things, like social media posts or 'challenges' that endanger others as well as themselves. I think people should return to a more sensible and full way of living life."

Michael Cockerell: "Yet, ironically, for some people you make it very much harder - if not impossible - to live their life to the fullest. Gay people, for example, have been heavily criticised by you..."

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "But for a very good reason! God created men and women to populate and dominate the earth. It is their natural duty to reproduce. Anyone who acts contrary to that holy and fundamental fact, is living in sin and deformed. Look at it this way: people are created to walk on two legs. Yet a very small percentage of the population is born with only one. They are no less humane than you or me, yet they are still deformed in the sense that they were born as people who should have two legs. The difference between crippled people and buggerers is, of course, that buggerers actively choose to live a deformed life. They know, or ought to know, that their destiny is to live and procreate with a woman, yet they refuse this in an act of utter selfishness."

Michael Cockerell: "With all due respect, archbishop, but there is an increasingly extending amount of scientific evidence that suggests gay people do not choose to be such at all! In fact, who would want to choose to live such a life with figures like yourself, prominent figures indeed, who call them deformed or sinful?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "I know it is a hard message to get across, but it is a truth I profoundly keep. And even if some people are born this way, it does not necessarily mean they lack the mental capacities to see nature made a mistake... They ought to correct that by doing the right thing on their own!"

Michael Cockerell: "You also said that women should not be allowed to hold ecclesiastical office. Why is that?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "Because I am confident that men and women have seperate roles in society. If you look at our history, that is how it has always been up until the last four or five decades. I think we made a mistake. Though let me be clear: I regard women as full human beings who deserve nothing but our respect. I will not seek to make any alteration to the present group of people officiating at any religious ceremony. If changes are to be made, it will be done after wide deliberations within the Church as a whole."

Michael Cockerell: "There are a significant number of members of the Established Church in other parts of the world than Anglandium too, for example, in Ariannica. Would they be allowed to take part in these deliberations as well?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "Yes, they would. They are every bit a member as I am myself. I seek to keep close communications with all sections of my church, and will happily invite them to celebrate our religion together."

Michael Cockerell: "There are about a million more questions that I would like to put to you, but unfortunately, our programme's time just allows for one. We will let the audience ask that one."

Mr Cockerell points to a woman in the audience and a staff member gives her a microphone.

Woman: "Reverend Father, your predecessor, Mr Temple, resigned after allegations of money laundering. Do you have any knowledge of such practises and what will you do if he is acquitted?"

The Most Rev. Paul Burgher: "I have not witnessed anything in relation to these allegations myself, ma'am. But I will be the first to take responsibility if it happens under my watch! As to the latter part of your question, I do not yet know. I can only tell you that yes, the previous primate left office under unusual circumstances, but he left his office voluntarily when he did and I was chosen as his rightful successor."

Michael Cockerell: "And with that, we conclude today's Prominent Profile, with The Most Reverend Doctor Paul Burgher, Archbishop of Londinium."

Another round of applause follows as the cameras turn away and the lights in the studio change to normal again.
