      INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT, TELKOM INDONESIA UNVEIL GLOBAL 5G SATELLITE BROADBAND NETWORK CALLED COMET, POWERED BY TELKOMSEL COMET ARCHITECTURE

    The Indonesian government unveiled today a 5G global satellite broadband network plan in collaboration with Telkom Systems Indonesia called the Comet International Network (COIN), powered by Telkom's brand new, top of the line Telkomsel Comet system architecture. The new plan calls for the launching of 5,000 microsatellites into Low Earth Orbit, which will be sufficient for a COIN network over the entirety of Indonesia. Tests done in 2022 during the Fajar launches showed that Telkomsel Comet architecture is capable of providing no less than 45mbps. The maximum reached during tests was 167mbps, albeit only for 67 seconds. Telkom Indonesia plans to begin launching satellites in groups of 250 aboard a foreign launch provider, so as to begin beta tests in Jakarta, Denpasar, and Medan. Telkom Indonesia has also announced their plans to rollout Comet 5G in other countries such as Bangladesh, which already has a Telkom Systems subsidiary working to provide 3G internet to Bangladeshi people. Telkom Indonesia plans to begin beta tests by late 2024, planning to launch upwards of 1,000 satellites into orbit by then. The government of Indonesia has also expressed interest in providing government funding to support the project, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Communication considering $500 million USD every two years of funding to support the 5G program. The first batches of Telkom Comet microsatellites are being prepared for launch, and is set to be ready by April 2024.

    | WORLDVISION PANELISTS PANEL OPEN |

    | There were 9 Panellists judging 2024 Worldvision and it turned out a big success. Very little was random here, and it was those 9 that basically decided, based on their votes, who gets to leave the Semi-Finals and how the final scoring for the Grand Final looked like. They voted in their winner. They've given both Jury votes and Televotes from the country they're Rping in Semi-Finals and the Grand Final. As so, YOU CAN BECOME A PANELLIST too.

    Anyone who wants to be a panellist for the 2025 Worldvision, please let me know by the end of this SATURDAY. Even if you were a panellist for 2024, let me know if you still wanna be one, otherwise you will not be considered as one. Entries will open up once the Panellists are found!

        HIGH CHANCELLOR SUSPENDS LAW PROHIBITING NUCLEAR POWER, PROMPTING DIPLOMATIC CLASH IN THE NATIONAL PARLIAMENT

      In a highly controversial and risky move, the High Chancellor announced the suspension of the clause in the Green Indonesia bill that prohibits the development and use of nuclear energy due to excessive emissions. The move was strongly opposed by environmental groups, progressive Members of Parliament, Ernst Jansen, and Puan Maharani, who is currently serving as the Acting Minister of State and was the origin of the Green Indonesia bill. An anti-nuclear coalition formed in the National Parliament, calling for government investments into solar, wind, and hydroelectric power rather than nuclear. Hardline anti-government groups claimed the move was to enable the Indonesian government to develop nuclear weapons in secret, but Acting Defense Secretary Ernst Jansen said 'Indonesia has no intention of developing nuclear weapons, much less the intention to antagonize the entire world'. Over the next few days from January 3 to January 12, the National Parliament split into the environment coalition and the nuclear coalition, split 60-30 respectively. Puan Maharani claimed that scientific reports argued that a 1 megawatt (1,000 kilowatt) solar power plant, capable of powering 300,000 homes, would only cost $2.9 billion USD, while a 1 megawatt nuclear power plant would cost $7 billion USD. On January 14, the High Chancellor signed a compromise bill with the environment coalition, which approved the development of two 1 megawatt solar power plants on the islands of Java and Sumatra for a total of $5.8 billion USD over the next 5 years. The new solar power plants will be up and running by summer 2024, with full construction by late 2025. The solar power plants will be able to power 600,000 buildings, reducing the nation's dependence on fossil fuels drastically. Numerous private companies have also been asked to develop 500 kilowatt solar power plant designs that will cost less than $1 billion USD each. The most promising design is a 850 kilowatt solar power plant for only $850 million USD by Hope Energy.

      TERROR IN GOTHENBURG! Sarin Attack and Fires Kills 16 in the Port of Gothenburg
      21st December 2023

      The attack started at 11:26 A.M. in the busy port of Gothenburg. Before the attack started a currently unknown amount of perpetrators hid six canisters of Sarin gas across the port. These canisters were found out to be modified 16oz spray cans which would mix the Methylphosphonyl Difluoride and the Methylphosphonic acid dichloride together as well as Isopropylamine in order to counter the Hydrochloric acid created in the forming of the Sarin. These spray cans would start automatically spraying almost half a liter of the aerosolized Sarin once the cap was opened.

      The terrorist attack started when the four canisters were opened all at once. Following soon after the Sarin gas being released several perpetrators started to throw Molotov Cocktails and other improvised incendiary devices in order to start fires across the ports. By the time the fire department arrived the fires had spread and they were forced to divert their resources to evacuating the civilians from the fast-acting Sarin gas before they couldn't be cured. This lead to the fire burning down much more of the port then it could normally. Another factor that causing there to be so much damage is the fact that the primary export of the port is Crude Oil which meant that several canisters holding that crude oil caught fire. The fire have been estimated to have caused over 700 million dollars in damages.

      These attacks killed 16 people, 11 of those deaths were the result of the Sarin gas while the rest are from the fires. Around 2,300 were injured to varying degrees while over 500 had temporary vision problems from the Sarin. This is by far the deadliest terrorist attack in Sweden. Such a devastating attack on the second largest city in Sweden will make 21/12 a day that will remain a tragedy that all Swedes will remember for generations.

      As of the time of writing, only 6 of the perpetrators have been caught. Danne Lundin, Anne-Marie Ivarsson, Göran Ekström, Vilhelm Blum, Jeannette Svinhufvud, and Osman Najjar. When the six were interrogated they all explained that they were members of the SUDF. It was also found out that they all were voters for the Communist Party. A strange thing is that they offered different motives for the attack. Some claimed that the attacks were purely a strategic move to try to cripple the Swedish government and to held even the odds for the SUDF, while the others claimed that it was an attack on the "capitalist tyrants" that controls the government of Sweden.

      The attacks have devastated the Swedish Economy. The Port of Gothenburg is the biggest port in Sweden with the port alone handling 30% of Sweden's foreign trade. The damages to the ports has led to the port having to be shut down until the damages were repaired and the Sarin liquidated from the area. The prices of goods produced in Sweden in foreign countries have in general increased. However, the worst hit was to Volvo. With the combined factors of both Volvo Cars and AB Volvo's headquarters being damaged, their largest factory known as the Torslandaverken getting damaged, and the fact that one of the port's largest export is vehicles means that Volvo cars made in Sweden have seen an over 10% increase in price in foreign markets.

      One of the biggest economic issues of the attacks is the fact that Sweden gets a good chunk of their oil from the port of Gothenburg. With the ports expected to take months to get back to a functioning state and the SUDF Insurrection consuming large amounts of oil, the Swedish government is in dire need of oil. Already the government is trying to secure a trade deal with other EU member states in order to supply the nation with oil until the ports are back up and running.

      It is not known how the SUDF in their incredibly dire straits as of recently were able to get their hands on the resources for over three liters of Sarin gas. However, many believe that the SUDF got the resources from a foreign country, most likely a nation that already owns chemical weapons. The Swedish government is already planning to hold an investigation to find out where the SUDF gained access to the resources to commit this act of chemical terrorism.

      Kom ihĺg 21/12.

        | MINISTRY OF DEFENSE, BAB AL-AZIZIA - باب العزيزية | After Sudan consequently pulled out of Chad and ordered that all refugees be deported, hundreds of thousands have fled but not back to Chad as intended. Instead they have began flooding into Libya in hopes of finding a nation and government that will welcome them and support them. The Brotherly Leader Muammar Gaddafi has condemned Sudan's inhumane actions which have began to negatively impact Libya which lacks the infrastructure and economy to support such a huge wave of refugees. Gaddafi has demanded that MECO and the Arab League take the correct actions by talking some sense into the Sudanese government and send some sort of aid to Libya in order to help deal with the refugee crisis. |

        As promised, the Empire has concluded its second radical shift in the year, the first being the adoption of a fully digital national currency. This time, the regional states have been fully changed, along the lines of the Gallan Manifesto's plan for the Revolutionary Revival of the ancient Gallan spirit. The new divisions can be seen here:

      Khartoum, The Republic of Sudan
      December, 2023 - French Diaspora V. Sudanese Armed Forces

      Sudan had recives tons of bad press and international outrage ever since the official implementation of Operation The Queen's Tounge by the Sudanese Military about a month ago tasked with overseeing the mass deportation of Chadian refugees as well as members of the French Diaspora residing within the borders of Sudan. There was no doubt that Sudan was damaging it's own image with its sudden shift of humanitrainsm. Despite the rise in anti-French sentiment in the country and resentment for francophone nations, the question of the legality of this operation has made its way to the Supreme Court of the Sudanese Republic in which the French Diaspora community of Khartoum has taken legal actions against the Sudanese Armed Forces in the implementation of Operation The Queen's Tongue.

      As reasonable the Diaspora represented by Quatir Manilon argued that the Sudanese Government had an obligation to protecting the rights of those fleeing neighbouring countries and have made it on Sudanese soil. Meaning the government cannot allow the military to over turn refugees. They even added that the military cannot persecute citizens based on language and ethnicity.

      The Sudanese Military represented by Subair Guap had argued that the Sudanese Constitution only grants those rights to the native languages and ethnicities that reside within the borders of the Sudanese Republic of which French and Chadian isn't one of them. and pushed even further to say that the war in Chad is by far over and so the refugees have overstayed their visit.

      As the case would go on, the offical condemnation by the Libyan government towards Sudan as a result of refugees entering Libya, along with the surfucing of recent evidence proving the war in Chad to not yet be over with the threats made against Muslim and Arab Chadians in the Christian controlled Chad and finally the pending MECO human rights investigation has caused the Supreme Court to take steps on the issue.

      And so on the last week of 2023, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Sudan has ruled 4-1 in favour of the French Diaspora citing that the Sudanese military and Government cannot and absolutely never discriminate or put the lives of any human being in danger on the basis of Language or ethnicity including those that are not native within the boundaries of the Republic of Sudan. The Supreme Court has ordered for the immediate halt of the mass deportation causing Operation The Queen Tounge to fail and abandoned by the Sudanese military. And given the circumstances of francophobia in Sudan the court had also ruled that the military is obligated to protect those who speak French.

      Despite the court rule the Justices have not made no mentions of the immigration policy with Chad as the Sudanese Government still says the border will be closed until a solution of peace between both states could be recognized.

      | DONGUILA UNDER CONSTRUCTION - BIGGEST BUILDING PROJECT OF IRANIAN STATE SINCE 1962 |

      January, 2024

      | In May of 2023, Zaire and Iran have to an agreement to the construction of an Iranian port city on the coast of Zaire. The aim of the city is to link MECO trade from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the Indian Ocean, without having to rely on the Suez Canal. The city of Donguila will be linked by railway to the Zairean-Sudanese Railway and there are wants amongst some for such railway to happen between Zaire and Libya and attach the city to it. The city will also be linked by railway to the Zairean ports of the Pacific, marking the city as a future trade hub and marking Zaire as the economic heart of Africa.

      The city was designed and planned in mid to late May by renowned Iranian Architect, Amira Habzar. The city will ingrain modern architecture of Iran and combine it with the Zairean growing architecture. The city will be completely reliant on renewable energy sources, it will host from 450,000 to 550,000 people, and will be the symbol of Iranian Prosperity and Zairean Growth. The port is estimated to be one of the largest in the world, and be one of the major links between MECO-World Trade.

      The construction of the city has extensively began in mid-June and are ongoing with major progress being made and major developments happening. The Iranian State has put an astonishing amount of $260 Billion into the project, with major Iranian technology and building giants taking part in the building process. The city is said to be finished for it's opening by November of 2026, it's second wave of construction will finish by September of 2027 and the city will be fully active by April of 2028. |

      | IRANIAN MILITARY COMPLEX RELEASES NEW EQUIPMENT INTO PRODUCTION |

      | The Iranian Military Complex has officially released certain military equipment into production, with Prime Minister Nouri green-lighting the production to go ahead. The first to go into production is the Empress Farah Wrath Guided-Missile Stealth Destroyer. The works on EFW has been taking place since 2015, and the original plans were laid out in 2009. The Empress Farah Wrath Guided-Missile Stealth Destroyer is supposed to be a Fleet Support, Hunter and Direct Attack vessel. Equipped with 75x Vertical Launchers for Hoveyzeh Cruise Missile, Sejill Missile or Queen Esmat-3 Missiles, Jask-2 Anti-Submarine Missile, 4x Persian Angle Anti-Aircraft Missile System and an air-wing which will be able to carry 3x BENIN UCAVs or 2x Shahbanu Protectors, it will be the staple of Iranian military technology. Based on it's design and technology use, it's said by Iranian Military to be "50 times harder to spot on radar than an ordinary destroyer" with it's akin more like a fishing boat than anything else. The Iranian Military Complex has been ordered to create 6 of those for the Iranian Navy, with the first two to be created by the end of 2024. Despite Nouri's denial that any of those will be able to be sold outside Iran, unofficial voices within the Iranian government suggest that Iran's closest allies will be offered a design. |

           বেঙ্গলকে বিজয় 
           Victory to Bengal! 

           Bangladesh General elections.

      ________________
       
      
      November 23rd was the day of the general elections for Bangladesh after the assassination of the former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, the November 23rd 2023 elections have been the biggest in Bangladeshi history as the voter turnout was around 104,291,263 Bangladeshi citizens who voted in the elections which had an easy unsurprising Awami league victory but the Awami league now surprisingly has less seats in the Jatiya sangsad than the Awami league had from 2018 to 2023. The lowering of popularity of the ruling party has mainly been due to the unnecessary deployment of troops in Chad, the standoff involving France, the former SGRI and Pakistan, it's extremely high spending on so called vanity projects (Ruppur nuclear power plant, Purbachal, military sales) many of which won't start to pay off until late 2025. The new Awami league chairman Obaidul Quader only promises the people of Bangladesh projects that will apparently "truly help" unlike Purbachal, projects such as improved waste management, curbing down pollution, clean rivers, less traffic congestion and many more problems are to be fixed. 
      While other more radical parties such as the Jatiya party have proposed the deportation of former Arakanese insurgents and their families. Here are the election results:
      

      | RESULTS OF THE ELECTION OF THE 23 NOVEMBER 2023 |

      Party / Party Leader / Seats / Votes / Percentage / Seat Change
      The Awami league / Obaidul Quader / 174 / 52,145,632 / 58% / -83
      
      The Jatiya party / Saad Ershad / 72 / 29,797,504 / 24% / +50 
      
      The Bangladesh Nationalist Party / Tarique Rahman / 28 / 11,583,779 / 9.33% / +21
      
      The Communist Party of Bangladesh / Mujahidul Islam Selim / 17 / 7,039,660 / +17
      
      Bangladesh Tarikat Federation / Syed Nazibul Bashar Maizvandary / 7 / 2,892,841 / +6
      
      Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (National Social party of Bangladesh) / Hasanul Haq Inu / 2 / 831,847
      
      As one can see by the results other parties such as the Jatiya party and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party had gained a considerable amount of seats in the Parliament along with other minor parties, even then the Awami league still holds a considerable majority over the Jatiya sangsad which proves that Awami league dominance in Bangladeshi politics won't go away any time soon but it is clearly inevitable

      Um Dafuk, State of South Darfur, The Republic of Sudan
      December, 2023 - Dead Man's Country

      Amidst the country's observance of the Christian holiday of Christmas. It had seemed that the roads were mostly quiet as night falls on the Sudo-Zaire border. A group of refugees have been migrating south with the hopes of entering Zaire to avoid deportation to Chad under Operation The Queen's Tounge. Despite the ongoing French Diaspora V. Sudanese Armed Forces case in Khartoum determining the solution of Sudan's humanitarian crisis.

      While drama and military action unfolds across the country, the refugees make their way to the last friendly village to Chadian refugees that sit no less than a few kilometers from the Zairean border. Amongst those refugees was a well known criminal who has been wanted by the Sudanese national police for 20 years for his involvement in the Bashir government and the infamous Janjaweed gang the has terrorised Darfur for decades. This man, a dead man walking in a country waiting to throw him in prision along with all the other enemies of the December Revolution. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo also knows we "Hemetti" was there that December night. Just 22 years since his war and genocidal driven empire was brought down by mob rule. He was there among those Chadian refugees. None of them knew who he was and where he came from he was silent. And along with them in the middle of the night he walked silently and without question into Zaire and with the help of some mysterious contacts he has managed to find himself friends waiting for him opposite of the border. And so he got on and they drive into the forest leaving his home behind. Leaving a country he will never get terrorise again. Or will he?

        | MINISTRY OF DEFENSE, BAB AL-AZIZIA - باب العزيزية | After Sudan consequently pulled out of Chad and ordered that all refugees be deported, hundreds of thousands have fled but not back to Chad as intended. Instead they have began flooding into Libya in hopes of finding a nation and government that will welcome them and support them. The Brotherly Leader Muammar Gaddafi has condemned Sudan's inhumane actions which have began to negatively impact Libya which lacks the infrastructure and economy to support such a huge wave of refugees. Gaddafi has demanded that MECO and the Arab League take the correct actions by talking some sense into the Sudanese government and send some sort of aid to Libya in order to help deal with the refugee crisis. |

      SPANISH GUINEAN BORDER TO REFUSE ENTRY TO REFUGEES

      JANUARY 2024

      The Border Forces of the Crown Colony of Guinea have released a statement in conjunction with the Colonial Commission that states that they shall refuse entry to any Refugees seeking to gain access to the interior of the Colony under the justification that it would reverse much of the progress Spain has made with regards to the safety and housing of Guineans themselves. Instead, Spain shall issue a monthly "Refugee Stipend" to Zaire which is currently handling Chadian Refugees, consisting of 2 million USD per 5,000 Refugees (24 million USD annually for 5,000 Refugees). Their Statement included the usual well wishing for the Refugees, but made it clear that they would have a no leniency policy towards any Refugee which breached the Border perimeter of the Colony.

      ASTROCULTURE
      PART ONE: THE ORIGIN STORY

        | Since The Galla rose from the ashes of the Pacification Wars of 1975-1981, a hidden cabal has been operating within the highest echelons of Gallan society. By 1981, they numbered in the hundreds, mainly wealthy individuals with an interest in uncovering what they consider to be divine, ancestral knowledge. They erected obelisks all over the realm to honor their Axumite ancestors, and, during a time when ancient Christian churches and Islamic mosques were being destroyed, ensured the survival of even more ancient sites and artifacts. Now, in 2023, they number in the millions, thanks to a combination of generational expansion and fresh families joining. Everyone who's anybody in The Galla is part of this cult... the MERI herself was born into it. Her Keepers, all born into the rituals as she was. They grew up together in closely knit communities where they worshipped and studied openly. The endgame of their studies and lifestyles have been clear from the very beginning — to spread Astroculture across the Gallan race and beyond. They are tasked with taking back the spiritual homelands of Sabia, Felitia, and Hydrimaut, and exacting revenge on those responsible for the robbery of those lands and the slaughter of their ancestors... But where does Astroculture begin? What is the source of the irredentism? A young woman, being trained as a Divinator of Astroculture, will help us find out. It begins in... |

      THE CORRIMIAN COAST, GALLA
      DECEMBER 2023

        | Corrimia is a new region, comprised of what was once Djibouti, parts of Somaliland, and some old regions of Galla proper. The area has always been a hub for members of the Astroculture, due to its proximity to the Gulf of Hydrimia (Gulf of Aden) and the varied, isolated, pristine natural environment. Obelisks and small temples dot the jagged coast, and in these spiritual zones, young people learn about Astroculture in retreat-style trips. One young woman finds herself in the midst of one of these retreats. Her name is Masho Rada, and she's fast asleep after a long day of studies. Her dreams tonight have been strangely vivid, and out of her control. At some point during a dream, she finds herself totally unable to control it, but still having full feeling of what is happening to her... |

      THE EXPEDITION OF KHALID IBN AL-WALID — NAKHLA, HEJAZ, ARABIA
      623 A.D.

        | Masho finds herself in a small village, somewhere in the desert. She has no idea where she is, or how she got there... She was dreaming, is this still just a dream? When she looks down at herself, she seems to be in her own corporeal self, but there's an odd blueish tint all over her. Her attention is quickly drawn elsewhere, sounds of screaming and galloping horses arrive to her. Every little sound comes to her with an echo which lingers uncomfortably. A group of woman in long dresses and veils rush around a corner, soon after a warrior on horseback appears and cuts them down with a scimitar. Masho feels as though the proper response would be to run as well, but she's frozen with disbelief. She's caught on with this sense of disconnect with her surroundings. Another horse-rider appears. They speak in a language she understands to be some form of classical, dialectal Arabic. |

        | KHALID IBN AL-WALID, Arab Muslim Commander | "Have you found the idol?"

        | ARAB HORSE-RIDER | "We have found...a woman, general. You ought to see this."

        | KHALID IBN AL-WALID, Arab Muslim Commander | "Take me to her, quickly!"

        | The Arabs turn and leave with great haste. Masho feels an urge to follow them, but as they're on horseback she loses them. Still, she runs through this village, which is burning and crumbling all around her. Despite not knowing where she is, she doesn't feel lost — the reason she was placed here is at the end of her search. Shrieks pierce her ears as she runs, growing louder as she runs further. The screaming becomes unbearable, and a disoriented Masho arrives at the village center. Immediately, the screams stop. A dark skinned woman, utterly disheveled with hair overgrown and wild, sits naked on the ground. Surrounded by the Muslim fighters and the general, she is thrashing about and cursing at the Arabs. General Khalid dismounts. |

        | KHALID IBN AL-WALID, Arab Muslim Commander | "We have found her... The idol. Al'Uzza."

        | Masho approaches the center further. Her eyes are locked onto the woman. Tears stream down her face as she realizes..the woman is clearly Gallan. Her skin, her features, all of them are undoubtedly Gallan. The Gallan woman grabbed her shoulders, gnawing her teeth, screaming uncontrollably. Her speech was utterly incomprehensible. Masho was overcome with emotions as she watched the woman. General Khalid, with one smooth motion, unsheathed his weapon decapitated the Gallan. Her lifeless body fell limp, and her head rolled off to the side. The Arabs cheered, and General Khalid triumphantly declared, |

        | KHALID IBN AL-WALID, Arab Muslim Commander | "That....was Al'Uzza!!"

        | Masho began to choke, and grasped her neck. Thick red liquid was pouring from her mouth without letup. She dropped to her knees, unable to scream despite her attempts. Her hands were covered in the stuff, slowly dripping onto the ground. The screams returned, with such deafening force that even in her dream-like state she felt in danger. Through her tearful eyes she could only look at the dead body. The Gallan's hand began to move, and the left arm of the decapitated body rose. An open palm was turned to Masho, and the blood vomit finally subsided. Masho stood herself up, but found herself only jumping out of bed with a shout. |

        | She's back in her room? Panting heavily, Masho scanned her surroundings. Yes, she's in the temple once more. Feeling something wet on her face, she patted her cheeks and realized she had been crying. Then she grabbed her neck, which indeed felt quite sore. It's 4am, and everyone in the Temple has been alerted thanks to her shout. An official enters her room, accompanied by other Divinators and priests. A woman in a long purple robe addresses her, |

        | HABTE BESSUFEKAD, Diviniator of Astroculture | "What has happened!? Masho, are you well?!"

        | Habte rushes to the bed and holds the face of the young woman. Masho responds calmly, |

        | HABTE BESSUFEKAD, Diviniator of Astroculture | "I have seen the murder of Al'Uzza at the hands of the Arabs, Mother Habte... The writings were true... She was real. Al'Uzza was Gallan. "

        | Silence befalls the entire room. |

        | HABTE BESSUFEKAD, Diviniator of Astroculture | "We must tell the others about this. Masho, document what you saw and gather your things. We are leaving for Gellia by sunrise. "

        | Habte turns and addresses the little crowd. |

        | HABTE BESSUFEKAD, Diviniator of Astroculture | "Masho has been visited by Al'Uzza herself, and has seen the killing of our Goddess! Contact the other temples with haste, we have received a blessing through Masho's projection!. "

        | By now you might be wondering who Al'Uzza is supposed to be. She was a goddess worshipped in ancient Arabia, before the arrival of Christianity and Islam. Alongside other gods and goddesses, she was also worshipped in the ancient Galla. Al'Uzza is the main goddess in Astroculture, and is a war goddess. She stands as a symbol of feminine power, and soon will be a national symbol. In ancient works, and in Gallan revival artworks, she is often depicted with her open palm facing outwards. |

      Abessinienreich wrote:| The Sultan smiles to the press, waving to the photographers, the sultan's top advisor was catching up next to him, Tufan Aykan, he is Hamid's oldest follower and advisor, he is also now the current minister of foreign affairs. He starts whispering in the Sultan's ear in Turkish after talking with one of the Turkish counselors...

      |TUFAN AYKAN PASHA | "My Sultan, were having trouble with the Kurds! They have more arms now! And are gaining land!"

      | The Sultan whispered back multiple times back to Pasha until Mekdella approaches and greets the Sultan. |

      |SULTAN ABDUL HAMID III (ORHAN OSMANOĞLU)| "Thank you Mekdella, it is a great pleasure to be at Galla....The Situation has calmed down since the formation of the Sultanate, there are still uneasy situations at the south, but those will also hopefully die down. The transition of things thankfully smooth and safe."

      | Mekdella waited patiently as the Turks whispered amongst themselves. She smiled understandingly after hearing from the Sultan. |

        | MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA | "I'm glad to hear about how the transition has gone for you. Unfortunately, there's always going to be something biting at our heels, wouldn't you agree? There's hardly a quiet day in these times."

      | Their convoy of vehicles makes it way to Addis Ababa, a testament to everything the Galla is about. Towering residential complexes rise over the city, and the streets are adorned with flashing neon lights, advertisements in Ge'ez, English, Italian, for products from around the world. All along the way, cheering crowds can be seen waving flags from buildings. Their route purposefully goes through some more artsy districts, where displays of Gallan Afro-Futurism are on full display on the sides of buildings. It's all very new wave art, but never without a nationalistic slant. After a bit, their vehicle finally arrives at the Grand Council building. |

        | MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA | "Sultan, come along. We'll be having the conference, and there's time for a wonderful dinner right after."

      | By this time in their journey, there would be no more press or crowds. They had an uninterrupted walk into the building, and into the large conference room. Statues of the ancient gods stood at the corners of the conference room, and the ceiling was a beautiful piece of artwork representing the celestial realm — stars, nebulas, as if the entire universe was condensed into this one grand room. There were seats for the Turks and Gallans, right across from one another. Aides would pull back the seats for the visitors, offer drinks and small snacks, cigarettes, and let them be. Mekdella looked around once everyone was set.|

        | MEKDELLA BREHEN, MERI of THE GALLA | "Well...to our esteemed guests from the Sultanate, and my friends from home. Welcome to this most momentous of occasions. We've got much to discuss, so allow me to dive right into it. Our little corner of the world, Sultan, has become quite active. Sometimes, in more ways than we would enjoy. To us Gallans, it's no question that the greatest threat to our existence is Egypt. I take it, Sultan, that the Egyptians are also a thorn in your side as well. What with your.. budding Sultanate."

          Bangladeshi tariffs on Japanese products

      ________________

      Following the increasing of trade barriers on Indonesia by Japan despite Japan being Indonesia's second biggest trading partner behind China, the Jatiya sangsad has decided to vote to increase the tariffs on Japanese iron and steel imports which are currently worth $500,000,000 to 25% in response to the increasing of trade barriers between Japan and a fellow IPEC member Indonesia, relations with Japan and the IPDEC has always been quite frosty despite several attempts to restore good relations between the south-southeast Asian organization and Japan. It has become clear to the government of Bangladesh due to this move by Japan that the nation of Japan does not seek neutral relations but seeks  conflict which it will use to achieve it's interests even if it's method has a highly imperialistic attitude. The chairman of the Bangladesh Tariff commission Tapan Kanti Ghosh has said to Independent TV after being asked why the tariffs were raised the following
      
      Tapan Kanti Ghosh:
       "one of the main objectives of the Indo-Pacific economic collective is to have interdependence, the collective has always promoted increased interdependence and Bangladesh is following through with that, if the government of Japan decides to lower iron and steel exports to Bangladesh then we will simply import from our close ally, neighbour and fellow collective member India."
