RP: The Schism is Bound to None!

Recent developments in Tengerina have seen outrage in the Atomic Schism on unprecedented levels. The populace, horrified by the use of nuclear weaponry by Blayredeshia, has turned towards prayer and charitable organizations in order to donate food and aid to Icewindia. The Atomic Schism's parliament, through a unanimous decision, has also agreed to send aid in the form of military doctors and a good number of volunteers to help evacuate citizens from the major warzones. President Ejochn has also issued a second condemnation of the Blayredeshian government, stating his distate in the regime's "supremacist ideology," and has determined the Confederacy's expansion of the Imperial Commonwealth to be a threat to "democracy everywhere, not just Tengerinia."

In regards to the Coalition of nations forming around Blayredeshia, Parliament engaged in a vote to apply for membership in the Ephyra Coalition. The result was much more decisive, with just under 2/3's voting in favor of membership. Nevertheless, The Atomic Schism has petitioned the Basaran Kingdom for entry.

RP: Commowealth News! Trade Resumes with the Laser Cult! New Species of Cacti Discovered in Upperwoods!

Following the Atomic Schism's unification, the new Commonwealth has attempted to make amends with the diminished and remaining territories of the Laser Cult, most of their lands having been annexed during the war of the unification. In the aftermath of the annexation, many of the former Photonists in the region immigrated to Nuclemefor, or converted to more mainstream religions, practically erasing the cult's influence in the Atom Woods. The loss in both territory and followers has enraged the leadership of the Laser Cult, and while they have agreed to resume trade with the Atomic Schism, they have refused all diplomatic meetings dealing with the idea of integration. For now, the Laser Cult remains politically independent from the Commonwealth.

With the Upperwoods having become the hotspot of paranormal sightings with dubious evidence and ever-fleeting evidence of cryptids, the first truly confirmed scientific discovery has been made near Lineville at the banks of the Flow River. A species of cacti have been discovered growing, which has confused much of the scientific community for the simple reason that there has not been a documented instance of cacti in the Atomic Schism's history. The cactus in question was discovered by a group of college students researching wildlife in the area and appears to resemble a species of prickly pear most commonly found in North Voytana. The current running theory for the widespread existence of the species has been that they were brought over by the Conglagateians during their march to the Kingdom of Sol several years ago.

RP: Nino's Vacation, or, Flood-side Fun
Nino, for years of his 'career in politics,' has been hard at work. For reasons that are worth an entire novel's worth of elaboration, His Radiance Satyrn DeVallier and Governor Vernier have encouraged Nino (more accurately coerced at threat of being dismissed) to take a vacation.

His first idea of a vacation was Liranaholm, though he immediately remembered that he was no longer welcome there since the attempted removal of a Lirana diplomat's ears. His second best idea, no matter how terrible it may have seemed, was the Schismian state of Jupyter. Traveling through Exbrenia by horseback (and later by chariot after purchasing one from a good-humored Exbrenian), Nino soon found himself in Jupyter, accompanied by a camera crew, where he got up to numerous shenanigans including, but not limited to:

-Buying one of every Schismian holy book and thoughtfully piecing them all together, naming it the 'Book of All,'
-Doing some sick chariot tricks in the parking lot of a bazaar while blaring the music of East Evven art-rock band F*** KING DIES,
-Playing a 99-round match of Rock, Paper, Scissors with an Acheinceolvist because, every time he lost, he would offer up "best # out of #," and promptly losing,
-Leaving documentation of the ancient Evven Head Cult in the hands of an obscure Schismian religious group, much to the chagrin of Kalrania as a whole,
-And breaking character to make a heartfelt visitation to Satyrn Jupyter III's grave, leaving a bundle of Euphorium flowers, and making a televised apology to Schismian Solists, and Schismians as a whole.

Needless to say, Nino has had an eventful vacation in The Atomic Schism and has certainly caused fewer problems than he would have in Evve Terre.

RP: Electrion Times! The Book of All is Found! Reactions to Nino!

[Secret]Deep within the realization, past the swirling databanks of the Clipboard, on the anchored metropolis of Frost-Hymn City, the factions of anti-pilgrims and Chorun, the God Cloud worshippers have been awoken from their sleepless drawls to the ringing of mental alarms warning of a successful realization repeat. As it is written in the Chorun Bible, in the time before the Great Split, the Lady of Positronia, wrote a great book to unite all the people of the Western Forest. However, in her pursuit of peace, she was cruel and created much devastation in her wake. The book was called the Book of All and was written with the faith of everyone around her. As she was destroyed by the Clear Solar Flare, the book was burned with its pages scattered across the Schism. After the Great Split, some of the pages survived and the Grand Cult of Laser was founded around it. But, as the Lasers dwindle, a new collection has been gathered to form the tome of the ancients. . .[/Secret]

Nino's "vacation" in the Atomic Schism has been the subject of controversy and great disapproval from many. While the comedic character was very popular with Acheinceolvist children--who appreciated the man's persistence in roshambo, his ignorance of Schismian customs, and total disregard for regional religious practices have not been well received by more traditional members of Schismian society. Many churches have already begun to search for Nino's supposed "Book of All," which has worried many religious leaders, including the Acheinceolvist Oracles. Although his apology regarding his actions in the struggle between different Solist faiths was taken to be sincere by some, his status in the Schismian Solist church has not improved greatly. Following his departure, state officials attempted to remove the Euphorium flowers from King Satyrn's grave, only to find them missing.
