Pegasus starships is soon to be producing a fighter starship, the official name is unknown. This ship will be a lightweight battle ship equipped with machine gun weaponry, guided missiles, and a type of “light cannon laser,” which is currently being tested. This ship will be used exclusively for space purposes.

On behalf of the company, the New United Carolinas asks for any potential laws in space, preventing the production of such ships.

(ooc) Here is my inspiration of this aforementioned laser, to show that its hopefully not as farfetched as it sounds.

The Final Presidential vote begins!

After fierce debates from the Candidates, voting has officially begun. The people are flocking to polls to vote for their candidates. Political Scientists predict that Ariana Thompson is projected to win based on the current political climate in the country. If Ariana Thompson wins, she’ll be first the African-American female President of the New United Carolinas. Thompson has also been endorsed by President Gurley himself.

As for Connor Van Dyke, political scientists speculate that he will struggle greatly against the overwhelming left majority in the country. While historically the Carolinas had been quite conservative, many Carolinians in our modern day have been opposed to many Conservative ideologies. However, conservatism still has a strong presence in some areas, which is what Connor Van Dyke appeals to.

As for the Middle/ Undefined Spectrum, they aren't expected to get a high number of votes. Kurt Montgomery is projected to receive up to 5% of the votes.

As customary, after the winner is selected, the current President transfers power on December 31, and the New President gets to carry the torch into the new year. Good luck to all the candidates!

Initial Data Analysis by the Bureau of Regional Statistics

  • Primary indicators of regional health include: real population growth rate, net monthly immigration, average electoral participation, and average GA voter participation.

    • Average overall poll participation is not an effective indicator of regional health because WA polls maintain a very low participation rate and make up a large majority of the polls.

  • On average, real population (from May to September 2018) grew 252%; from September 2018 to April 2019, it fell 14%.

  • Real population has mostly stagnated in the first quarter of 2019, falling 1%. It hasn't grown substantially since the fall of 2018.

  • The puppet inflation rate from March to April was 4% (meaning new puppets accounted for 4% growth in nominal population). By contrast, real population growth was 8%.

  • Net immigration, so far, has remained below average for April. However, further sampling is required for more accurate data.

  • As expected, Secretary-General elections maintain a higher average voter participation rate than GA President (58% vs. 53%).

  • Midterm and non-midterm elections have shown a stark difference in voter participation rates, with the former having 65% participation and the latter having 45%. This is mostly due to the fourth General Assembly election between Samarino and Thyostega, in which only 26% of GA members voted.

    There are multiple potential confounding variables. It's possible that during this specific election, people were on holiday and generally less active than normal; however, because the Secretary-General election four days before saw no decline, this is unlikely. It is also possible that voters, in this case, compared the importance of the two elections when deciding when to vote (deeming the secretary-general position to be more so). More research and sampling is required.

Message from the Dogal Palace

The time has come again for Cymiopolitans throughout the nation to exercise their inalienable right to vote. Parliamentary elections for the Signoria are to be held in 2 months. Throughout the campaign, the leaders of all 4 parties will debate on 7 seperate occasions in all 7 of Cymiopolis' provinces. The key issues for this election revolve around the environment, trade and the reclamation of the Falklands, our 8th province that was lost during the Cymio-Electoran War.

This election will also be special since Alexios Komnenos, the leader of the Venetian Party will not seek reelection this time around. The candidates for this year's election include:

  • Venetian Party (Libertarian) - led by Gasparo Contarini

  • Hellenic Party (Conservative) - led by Ioannis Metaxas

  • Patagonian Party (Liberal) - led by Eleftherios Venizelos

  • Agora Party (Socialist) - led by Aris Velouchiotis

As per tradition, the party with the most seats in the 350 seat Signoria elects its leader as the next Doge. In the event of a minority government, a coalition between parties that form a majority of seats jointy runs the governement, as was the case in the current Venetian-Hellenic Signoria.

in light of recent events and the civil war, the council has allowed the passage for the creation of idiocarasia's second national wonder. the proposal by our leader describes the creation of idiocarasias first cathedral of survivors. the majority of the structure will be subterranean as idiocarasias air is probably slightly acidic and will erode the structure. we will be able to produce the majority of the materials for construction but we will be needing to order the following for construction materials. 4 StellaNascente Arms brand tanks, and one Maverick X-1 (military) from Pegasus starships, these will be disassembled and used as arments and armour for the exterior of the cathedral. any unused material will be melted down and used to make statues of the survivors.

It all comes down to this.

The Conservatives have their greatest chance of winning again after more than a decade of unprecedented and far-reaching liberal rule of both the House and the Presidency. Ben Heigele, a newly-minted rising star of the party, had emerged to many as a tough nut to crack, with tenacity . . .

When the recently begun Mosque al-Jumhur Alnnakhibin Sultanieh is finished, it will be the largest Jordanian mosque and have consumed 22 million dollars.

We have consulted Cymiopolis and are now working to reduce and modernize the Imperial Defence Forces to better adapt to peacetime. The first step of this process is to offer early retirements with very slight pension decreases to every member of the military.

New mexico azteca

New Mexico Azteca is beginning it’s election season for a new Prime Minister. Prime Minister Miguel has finished his second term. He’d miss the office deeply. But New Mexico Azteca needs a new Leader.

He stared out his office Windows, the beautiful sunset burning dimly over the busy Buen Sol. He reviewed the candidates.

Jorge García of the Great Sun Party (Conservative). Meh. He's alright. Not really a big fan of this guy... Miguel thought. The man was all about building the military, fewer regulations on businesses, and heavily limiting the power of Parliament. Which is typical yes, but for whatever reason, he's a little too nationalistic for Miguel’s taste. He sticks out in the Great Sun Party. He wants to do things that benefit Mexico always. Even if it meant putting allies down. At least his policies imply that. Plus, rumors or not, whether explicitly stated or not, the man seemed very anti ”Not-Mexican”. He said that a lot. ”Not-Mexican.” ”The man is going to end up starting another civil war...” Miguel said to nobody in particular. ”We can't risk another oppressive leader. I doubt this Great Sun party really believes in this guy.”

He sighed. Next was Santiago Pérez, a Cuban for the Blue Eagle Party (Liberal). This was a man Miguel could get behind, given the party affiliation. He believed in the usual Liberal beliefs, equal rights for all, higher taxes (especially on large business and the rich) for education, infrastructure, defense, etc. Miguel agreed with a lot. He even The problem was, Pérez didn't seem strong. The man was very noble, yes, but not as out there as García. This could come into effect as the election goes on.

The NMA flag blew beautifully in the breeze. He took a minute to appreciate it as it flew.

Next was Luis Hernandez (no relation.) Of the Gold Horizon Party (Libertarian). Miguel thought for a second. Luis Hernandez was all about personal liberty. Miguel liked some of Luis’s stances. Not much he could really say about the man or his policies.

Julie Flores of the Red Flower party (Socialist) was also something Miguel could respect, even if he viewed it has kind of radical left. Everyone makes the joke about Socialism = Communism. To Miguel, Communism, in short, was just extreme Socialism where the government has too much control over everything. Julie never preached about that, just that the people own and determine the ways of living, not just private industry. But enough of that; Miguel admittedly wasn't too concerned about Socialist beliefs. He just worried about the Great Sun Party.

”Prime Minister, dinner will be served shortly in the Royal Dining hall.” His desk-messenger rang. Miguel’s thoughts were disrupted by the instant rush of hungry thoughts. ”Oh joy. Something to get my mind off of this! I can't wait for some Torta.”

Reports from the Campaign Trail

A crushing blow has been dealt to the conservative Hellenic Party by Doge Alexios Komnenos. Following a successful round of negotiations with his Electoran counterpart, the Doge has announced that the Falklands will be administered as a condominium between both nations, with foreign affairs and defense being the responsibility of the Electorate and domestic affairs being the responsibility of Cymiopolis. The islands will still be de jure Electoran territory, but the day-to-day matters of Falkland Islanders will be run by Cymiopolitans similar to before the war.

This has caused large percentage of Cymiopolitan conservatives to shift their support to the Doge’s Venetian Parth since the resolution of the Falklands issue has nullified the key point of the Hellenic Party’s platform

Speaker of idicarasia
With the rapid modernization of idiocarasia many feel as if there ways of life have been threatened. This has sparked the highest emigration rate the country has seen in many years. Even though the country has tried to assist them in coming to the new world many have chosen exile and in this new age.

I've made some updates.

The International Business dispatch has been separated into two dispatches now: International Corporations, which describes all companies, and Business Analysis, which describes the markets and prices.

The Guide to Economics has been updated to include the price changes as a result of specific business actions, such as creating a new factory or developing new tech (the exact percentage changes were decided by me, but they follow economic principles).

As a result of a new Constellations and co factory built in Liverpool, United Kingdom, the equilibrium prices of starships maverick-sized and refuge-sized have decreased by 2% to $590.7 million and $1772.1 million, respectfully. Remember: your firm's products do not have to be priced at the equilibrium, but they should change by the same amount. Additionally, the global starship market has been classified a "Biased Duopoly" – Pegasus starships owns 56% while Constellations and co owns 31%.

Gray to the bridge. We have an incoming transmission.

"No time to talk anymore," Gray exclaimed on his way out of the medical bay. "Just make sure he's well for our new... venture. We have no idea what awaits us now."

He hustled around the corner and back up the stairs. People were gathered around the communications officer's audio feed. "Play the message!"

–––– sol ––– curr-rr-nt –––––

"Agh! Just static!" Gray said, looking befuddled.

"Let me try another frequency, maybe we can better translate the message," the officer replied.

The new captain almost danced around the room, pacing back and forth with an anxious skip. He was muttering to himself.

"We got something – it's not much, but we can make out a few key words," the officer said excitedly.

"Play it again."

–––– System Sol ––– your escort –––––– currently in sight of –––––

"Well I'll be – our escort!" Gray exclaimed. "They must be on their way now.

Ready a squad for security. I want a couple of representatives with me and the team, plus a sample of our supposedly prized gold. We don't know what to expect from these.... things."

He watched as what he presumed to be the Captain exited the spacecraft.
As he was about to go for a friendly greeting, he saw those surrounding him carried weapons. Ones that seemed to capable of damaging his spacesuit.
"You guys think I'm Extraterran, don't you? Forester said, half-annoyed at the rude greeting.

"Well we don't know what you are. We don't know the difference between Alienatans and Extraterrans, you know,"
Forester facepalmed.
"Why would we bother to come here if we were Extraterrans? They're cozy on their planet while they watch how their victims are doing the work for them."
He saw some giving expressions of agreement. Some even lowered their guns.
"Sorry about that. We were just being careful, I'm sure you understand." Captain Gray put out his hand.
Forester promptly followed suit and shook his hand. "All is forgiven"

"Before we start, how do you know our language so well?"
"We don't know your language, this device around my ear is an interstellar translator, perfected 300 years ago."
"Fascinating" he heard the Captain muttered under his breath.
"Ahem." Forester got his attention back. "We are in a hurry in case you didn't know."
"Right, we can talk more about that later," Gray regained a proper composure. "Let's get to the heart of the matter – to where are you escorting us?"
"Our ship is across the mountains, due west, quite a way away from here." He said pointing west. "I would have been here faster, but our land transport is no longer functional."
He turned back to the Captain. "A sample of your hithera, if I may ask?"

"Bring out the goods!" Gray exclaims. One of the guards pulls out a sealed case. Approaching the group, she opens it, revealing 5 bars of gold inside.
Forester takes something out of his bag and sees it's something completely alien to them.
He doesn't care to explain though as he takes one bar an checks it out with the device.
"This is precisely what we're looking for" He takes another look. "I see it not completely clear of other particles, but melting and cooling the liquid down for the engine should get rid of them"
"Unfortunately we couldn't bring it here as a liquid without damaging the spacecraft"
"You don't know how to cool down liquid hithera without solidifying it? You guys are more primitive than I thought,"
"No need to treat us like... ah, it doesn't matter. We have greater concerns. Can you melt it down at your transport?"
"It happens on it's way to the engine. Now please tell me this isn't all you brought"

"Not at all, please follow me."
They walked to the end of the ship. "Here's our storage compartment." There are stacks upon stacks of gold lining the walls.
"This ought to get us to your moon. After that, we can just calibrate your fuel to travel to Sol 3."
A thought suddenly came to Forester's mind.
"Since you probably can't travel at photonic speed, we'll have to put your ship in our's." He saw the Captain's irritated expression. "I wasn't going to call you primitive you know(Even though I want to)"
"Hmpf. Well, I'll have you know that we're working on it right now. In any case, as long as our ship can fit and hang with yours during the flight, we should be good to go."
"Let's get started then (I doubt they know I mean the speed of light)"

As they are heading towards the flight deck, the Captains suddenly stops.
"Why exactly are we going back to earth?"
"Because it's safest for you, or is there any danger we don't know about?"
"Not much danger – relative to what you've probably experienced. We can explain on our way there. Even with your velo, it'll be a long flight."
"Let's get going then" Forester rushed past him. "Massareno is waiting,"
