"Welcome back to XNNN and here's today's stories."

Blizzard Advisory For Laona
According to hurricane reports by the AOAA and Xagrurg Meteorological Agency, Northern Aurora will be heavily affected by Hurricane Mable, and Laona citizens should remain indoors with their heating source on. Schools will be closed for the time of the blizzard and snow clearing vehicles have been deployed."

Kuthernburg Military Parade A Populairty Success
"With the demonstration of power shown by the GXE military with their nuclear submarines, carriers, troops, and equipment, this has boosted popularity of Erwin Pipua's regime, with many citizens lauding him for his ability to wield power in the wake of a defeat."

Maglev Makes Headway Along with Eidenburgh Rebuilding
"Progress of the maglev between Eidenburgh and Imperium has been good, due to constant working on the railways and terminals by foreign and domestic construction companies. The cities' governments state that the maglev will be completed by the end of 2017 or mid-2018. The reconstruction effort of Eidenburgh has been massive, with huge funding by the GXE government who has stated Eidenburgh will return to its pre-war status by the end of 2017."

Thorianite Export Caps Removed
"After a considerable amount of debate in the Xagrurgian Senate, the Senate has agreeded on loosening trade restrictions on thorianite, calling it un-economical."

World News
Gemica
"Gemica has been heavily affected by Hurricane Mable, with a considerable amount of infrastructure destroyed and the Diamond Authority regime's instability is hampering rebuilding and rescue efforts of the country. There are some reports that the Oan Isles is going to take over the island with the unstable regime paralyzed to do much but these are unconfirmed. The GXE administration has not yet commented on this.

Invasion of Santa Corona?
"According to some refugee reports from the island of Santa Corona up in Northwest Atlantia, Furnifold, Kuthernburg, and Celannican forces are attacking the island in an attempt to gain land, though also unconfirmed. The GXE administration has yet to also comment on the situation."

"Welcome back to XNNN and here's today's stories."

The Oan Isles Invades Diamond Authority?
"From witness accounts from overhead commercial flights over the island of Jewelica, there is supposedly combat between Jewelica's forces and an enemy invasion force using military equipment known to be used by the Oan Isles, though the actual identity of the forces is unknown. The GXE government has officially commented that they will not be launching an investigation, though there are many in the public still calling for more information."

What Is Going On In Santa Corona?
"From our limited coverage we had while our reporters were still on the island, there seems to be a massive insurgency between a well-armed and equipped invasion force, rumored to be FPA members, and a group known as Ruby September. We do not know what exactly is Ruby September due to conflicting reports saying they are the official government while others say they're a insurgent group. Nevertheless, there are reports of human rights abuses on the island, confirmed with video and photographic evidence, but we do not know who committed them."

West Cerdani and East Cerdani Tensions Spike
"From a recent bombing at the palace in East Cerdani, the East Cerdani government has been placed on high alert, with some EC government officials believing they were committed by West Cerdani intelligence. This has not helped to bring the two Cerdanis closer obviously, as now troops are being mobilized onto their sides of the DMZ."

Grundmund Port
"From our branch in Grundmond Port, the situation at Grundmund Port has escalated, with a Kuthernburg frigate being hit with a torpedo by an unknown ship and more fleets have arrived into the area. Tensions in the area are extremely high, possibly escalating the situation quickly."

Trouble Within Parliament's Ranks?
"According to government insiders, there seems to be widespread discontent among the senators in Parliament about Erwin Pipua's style of administration.

Old Nuclear Bomb Found Buried In The Middle of Imperium
"Somehow, a Xagrurgian nuclear bomb was found in Imperium during an excavation for the construction of a new apartment. The bomb has been defused and confiscated by the Xagrurgian military but many are still wondering where it came from and how it ended up there.

BREAKING NEWS
"In a surprise convention of Parliament, all of the senators have unanimously voted in holding a snap election to install a new leader of the Greater Xagrurgian Empire. 'I saw this coming a long time ago,' said a random pedestrian. The three main candidates running for the High Commander's seat of office will be Secretary of State Woodrow Taft of the National Xagrurgian Front Party, Kate Muroc of the Social Democrat Party, and Nate Rollins of the Libertarian Party. It is unknown why Erwin Pipua has not announced his run for the seat."

Woodrow Taft
"Woodrow Taft is the current Secretary of State of the Pipua administration. Colleagues of Mr. Taft describe him as good-natured, reliable, and steadfast. During the press briefing, the goals that he stated he will try to achieve as High Commander is to decrease the national debt of Xagrurg, revitalize the economy by subsidizing commercial enterprises, reintroduce the Xagrurgi Dollar, and enforce the Christie Climate Accords to protect the environment. Woodrow Taft is leading in the polls with 42% of the vote."

Kate Murdoc
"Kate Muroc was the Secretary of State of Bob Jones and a former interim president before the Auroran-Pacific War started. The goals she stated she wanted to achieve is decreasing the amount of funding into the military and redistributing it to social programs and education, protect workers' rights, and a renegotiation of the peace deal. Due to recent memories of her poor performance of leading the country, a lot of the population is still wary of her and as a result, she has 11% of the vote."

Nate Rollins
"Nate Rollins is a relatively newcomer to the national legislature. A former senator of the Xagrurgian Parliament who has served for only 1 year, he stated he wants to become High Commander to return Xagrurg to its former glory as an economic power. His goals are to deregulate the Xagrurgian financial markets, privatize the national healthcare system, protect civil and political rights of the people, and crack down on corruption within the government. A lot of the population were intrigued by his goals and as a result, he has become a close second with 39% of the vote."

"The snap election is to be concluded in early November where the new High Commander will be announced."

"Here's today's top story folks."

Criticism of Oan Isles Is Widespread
"In addition to animosity generated from the Oan attacks on Xagrurgian civilian targets during the Auroran-Pacific War, the Xagrurgian Pacifist Party and other Xagrurg-based anti-military NGOs has criticized the Oan Isles's Pacifist Party for continuing to bomb the island nation of Gemica, contrasting with the pacifist principles they are supposed to uphold, though have commended them for dissoluting their armed forces. However, some Pacifist Party government officials state that the Polynesian Defense Pact is just one joint-international armed forces used to further Oan interests and influence in global affairs."

Nate Rollins
"During his tour in the nation of Absurdistan, located south of Xagrurg, he has negotiated a deal with their leader to endorse his campaign in exchange for Coffief access to the Xagrurgian markets. While this has raised eyes within the Department of Goverment Oversight, they have not done anything in response currently. Nate Rollins departed Absurdistan yesterday and has landed in West Cerdani."

Reconstruction of Eidenburgh's Ports
"According to the city government of Eidenburgh, reconstruction of the harbor has been proceeding rather rapidly and exceeded expections and has been calculated to be finished by early November. Citizens of Eidenburgh are joyful of the increased financial opportunities that the new expanded ports will bring."

New Nuclear Arms Race?
"In response to the Staynish government's announcement that they will be constructing a 75-megaton nuclear weapon, the Xagrurgian government has criticized the Staynish government's decision and countered with the authorization of a program to refurbish its existing nuclear stockpiles from the Auroran Imperial War and research into anti-ballistic missile technology. Anti-nuclear groups in Xagrurg have criticized the Staynish government for developing a nuclear weapon that will only serve to escalate tensions in the region."

Story of the Hour
"Welcome back folks and here's something new we're going to try out: Story of The Hour. Basically, it's a on-the-spot news report of an important event that just happened, anyway, here's the story."

Construction of Xagrurgian Air Base In Vultuca Approved
"The Vultucan and Xagrurgian governments have negotiated a deal that will allow the Xagrurgian military to station 10,000 troops overseas in Vultuca. This will be the first foreign military base in a couple centuries that Xagrurg has built. The military base will be named the Veridia Air Base, housing the Joint Xagrurgian-Vultucan Air Command, with a state-of-the-art airport terminal and several runways with advanced radar and anti-air equipment, any other details of the construction are classified. The 23rd Airlift Wing, 124th Air Operations Wing, 12th Air Mobility Operations Wing, and the Xagrurg Air Forces in Atlantia, also known as XAFA will be stationed at the base. Government leaders from both nations have expressed approval in the building as it will improve relations and influence for either nation. Construction is be completely finished by late 2018, but will be in basic operational service by late 2017."

Criminals Actually Helping The Community For Once
"In part of a new community service program for low-level class criminals, they have the ability to serve 1,000 hours of cleaning up the streets of Xagrurg. However, they will be monitored with RFID chips enacted into place earlier in August and police to make sure they don't escape. The name of the program is 'A Cleaner Xagrurg For Tomorrow!'"

Human Rights Violations in Gemican Prison
"According to multiple Oan news stations, there have been several human rights abuses committed in the Gemican penitentiary known as Agate Prison. According to the official Oan government report, prisoners have been left in their cells while the prison itself has been abandoned by its staff. The reason why wasn't stated in the report but nonetheless confirmed rumors of depraved conditions committed by the Gemican government known as the Diamond Authority. The Oan government announced they will be conducting a bombing campaign against the island but this decision has been criticized by many throughout Xagrurg, asking how could the islanders get out of the island to escape the brunt of the bombing or receive any humanitarian aid to assist their populace as the quarantine of the island by the Oan military prevents so."

Xagrurgian Department of Defense Announces Modernization
"According to the spokesperson for the Xagrurgian Department of Defense, the Department of Defense is looking to pursue a new main battle tank for their armed forces as combat experience from the Auroran-Pacific War has proven the current Warrior main battle tank used by the Xagrurgian armed forces to be inadequate for modern tank warfare. The arms corporation General Guns is reported to be currently constructing an improved version of the Warrior but the contract is open to other corporations as well."

Increasing Tensions With Adumara
"With decreasing relations with Adumara ever expanding, the Xagrurgian Department of Defense has started drills with the Xagrurgian Armed Forces. It is unknown whether negotiations with Adumara over the Chianski situation be successful but military experts have predicated that the situation will escalate into war. They have also predicted that Xagrurgian-Adumaran will be a even more devastating conflict than the Auroran-Pacific War, with hundreds of thousands of casualties estimated for the Adumaran side. Opinions among the Xagrurgian public, however, is somewhat positive, with nationalistic sentiment on the rise once again, though the Xagrurgian government has not released a statement on the situation."

“Here’s today’s story on XNNN.”

New Evidence Comes To Light
“In light of the Adumaran government holding a international conference on democracy while trying to discredit the Fire Pact Alliance, XNNN reporters have uncovered archived news and street footage from the Adumaran attack on Chianski. Due to the extremely graphic content in this footage, we advise young viewers to please switch away from the channel. (Footage of body parts and blood strewn all over the streets of Chianski cities and massive amounts of rubble is displayed on the screen with a shaken, bloodied, young woman covered in cuts and bruises is stumbling across a road.) “Although the Adumaran government claims to uphold the ideals of democracy and protecting the people, this footage isn’t helping to reinforce Adumara’s standpoint of being the victim here in the Adumaran-FPA situation.”

Woodrow Taft Wins Presidential Election
“Today, the votes have been counted and Woodrow Taft has won with a near landslide victory, with 80% of the votes. Citizens have been seen celebrating in the streets over Taft’s election. At his inauguration speech in the Presidential Manor, Woodrow Taft gave a speech to the Xagrurgian population, reassuring them that Xagrurg will return to its glory once again and that the people have gotten through tough times before.”

Eidenburgh Port Finishes Construction
“The Eidenburgh port, famed for its bustling activity before the Aurroan-Pacific War, has now been finished reconstruction and its expansions with more container terminals and a connection with the Imperium-Eidenburgh rail line and the terminals are integrated with new technologies such as remote-controlled gantry cranes and the port's main navigational channel has been deepened to 53 feet by the Xagrurgian Engineering Corps, which is deep enough to accommodate the draft of the world's biggest container ships. Investors are elated about the reopening of Eidenburgh International Port as more freight tonnage can be brought into and out of the port. However though, huge portions of Eidenburgh itself is still in the process of rebuilding, with most areas being still being worked on by construction crews. Most of the damage is estimated to be repaired by late 2018.”

“Today, a couple minutes ago, President Woodrow Taft announced in order to take the first steps of becoming the Xagrurgian Republic, the Greater Xagrurgian Empire’s name must revert back to the Republic of Xagrurg. Many citizens are applauding over the decision, praising it is a wise decision by the President, but some in the military high command are angry over this, saying the decision to rename the nation isn’t ‘patriotic’ and ‘unnecessary.’ In other news, President Woodrow Taft has announced he will be attending an international conference in Dragonia, to negotiate on the behalf of the Republic of Xagrurg in the new union to succeed both the ancient Auroran Continental Assembly and the unstable Auroran Union.”

Responding to The Criticism of the FPA
“Over the course of the last few days, several news stations have criticized the Fire Pact Alliance for being undemocratic and highly aggressive. In response to this, the government of Xagrurg has released a counterreport to combat these unsubstantiated claims.”

-1. The Fire Pact Alliance is funding Al Jaheed, a terrorist group that has recently taken some islands of Adumara:
According to several government officials from Xagrurg and the other members of the FPA, the Fire Pact Alliance has not been supporting these terrorist activities nor do they condone them. Certainly not Xagrurg supports Al Jaheed, as Xagrurgian Territorial Marines fought them earlier this year in Latianburg. According to several FPA soldiers on the blockade of Adumara, the FPA has not launched any invasions in Adumara, only Kuthernburg and Yuno who aren’t in the FPA, they are part of the NSTO. According to declassified intelligence reports from the National Intelligence Agency, the Islamic Caliphate of Pax is currently funding and supporting Al Jaheed and other Islamic terrorists.
-2. The FPA is solely comprised of ideologies that advocate war, oppression, and death.
First off, the Fire Pact Alliance is a defensive and economic alliance. The FPA is involved in Adumara because they attacked Chianski, a valued ally in the FPA, therefore triggering the defensive clause of the FPA charter, disproving the aggression claim. The varied ideologies that make up the FPA may be “authoritarian,” but these administrations are simply trying to promote stability in their nations with these forms of governments. Also, Xagrurg is a member of the FPA, yet we are a republic that strives for equality and peace, trying to abandon of the image of the old GXE.
-3. Xagrurg is a proponent of terror.
This is flat out wrong. The Federal Republic of Xagrurg does not condone Al Jaheed, instead placing it high in its terror watchlist and is actively involved in the PKFU, trying to stablize regions. Xagrurg has declared war on Adumara in order to protect Chianski from an imperialist aggressor, known as Adumara. Xagrurg is willing to negotiate with Adumara, but the Adumarans must be willing as well, so far haven’t shown any diplomatic actions towards achieving a ceasefire.

Heavy-Handed Tactics Employed by Security Forces
“Most civil unrest throughout Xagrurg has settled down, but only from the violent repression of Xagrurgian security forces, with troops attacking rioters aggressively. This has drawn mixed reactions from many people, some applauding Woodrow Taft for finally restoring a sense of stability to Xagrurg, but others criticize him for turning back against the values of the Xagrurgian Republic was founded on. Nevertheless, we can all agree on the fact the start of Woodrow Taft’s administration has been a turbulent one, and possibly for the next coming years.”

Possible New Disease?
“Throughout the past few months, the Xagrurgian governmental agency, the Federal Civil Emergency Agency, has been significantly weakened from the constant instability of the government. As a result, they have been unable to keep an eye on everything. Recently, rumors of a possible new virus have been popping up in rural areas in Northwest Xagrurg, the rumors describing the infection as extremely viral yet lethal. The FCEA has taken note of this and promised to investigate into this, but can we trust them to protect us from such a disease? We don’t know, but they have ordered us to tell you viewers to call to their phone number or report on their website if you observed or you believe a person has the symptoms reported.”

Xagrurgian Naval Department Holds Massive Exercises In Conjunction With Xagrurgian Air Force
“In light of the Kuthernburg Navy holding naval exercises in the South Auroran Sea near Yor, the Xagrurgian Armed Forces held several naval exercises in South Xagrurg with the entire fleet with the Trek-class aircraft carriers and other nuclear submarines whose classifications are unknown at this time. Several fighter and bomber jets also participated in the drills. There are rumors that the drills are to show that Xagrurg still has the capability to mount a massive resistance but the official statement by the Xagrurgian Department of Defense on the naval exercises is ‘These drills are to train the skills of the Xagrurgian Armed Forces in case of future conflict, nothing more.’”

Senate In Hot Debate
“The floor of the Xagrurgian Senate is bustling with discussion as the civil unrest grows. More support for Federal Order X grows while other radical factions gain traction. In the Province of Eidenburgh, the Communist Party of Xagrurg is gathering support with the lower-class population in Eidenburgh. In Laona, support for King Edward and his family is at an all-time high. In Fort Wahington, many patriots and conservatives support the Conservative Party of Xagrurg. If Xagrurg does split, the geopolitical overview will be very interesting to say the least.”

UPDATE: Xagrurgian Dissolution Talks Cancelled
“After several failed negotiations on how to dissolve the constitution and a growing popular support for Xagrurg to remain one, the talks for Xagrurgian dissolution have been officially canceled, though the government is still weakened from the recent death of former Xagrurgian president Woodrow Taft.”

Former Xagrurgian Soldiers Band Together To Create “Mercenary” Corporation
“After funding to the Xagrurgian armed forces was cut down from recent austerity measures and tax reforms, former soldiers have looked elsewhere for work, some integrating back with the civilian populace but most have joined a new private military corporation based in Fort Wahington known as Silvereagle. Silvereagle was founded by a Xagrurgian military veteran John Blackwood after he was fired in the recent wake of mass discharges from the armed forces. According to an interview with him, he founded the organization to ‘help give jobs for others like myself who was kicked out of the military.’ He has stated that Silverwater is available for contracting to foreign and domestic areas.”

2018 National Budget Begins
“After 2 months of negotiations between the Xagrurgian Congress and the Xagrurgian Department of Defense, they have finally agreed on how to cut the military spending and that is by decommissioning all but 4 of the nuclear submarine fleet as the DoD has stated they are too expensive to maintain in the face of a lack of any naval threats in the near future. Also, contrary to earlier reports by media sources, the Xagrurgian Congress has created a progressive tax and begun tax reforms in an attempt to close loopholes, but have also reduced corporation taxes in the process. The spokesperson of James Deref’s administration has stated that it is an attempt to attract foreign investment into the nation. Oddly enough, the Xagrurgian Space Agency has recieved a 2% increase in the budget after diplomatic negotiations between Royal President Rico of Kuthernburg and Acting President James Deref of Xagrurg have succeeded in the creation of a joint space mission. More details of this mission will be released later.”
Proper Inauguration of James Deref
“After 2 months of his administration, the Congress has finally decided on inaugurating the acting leader at the end of February.”
Xagrurgian National Firearms Association Endorses James Deref
“Today after a speech given out by the acting President during a rally in Eidenburgh, the XNFA has chosen to endorse him after he promised to protect the 2nd Amendment of the Xagrurgian Constitution which guarantees the right to bear arms and to form militias in the event the ruling government becomes oppressive.”
XNV Pipua and XNV Tolkov Become Museum Ships
“Surprisingly, the old Pipua-class battleships (OOC: King George V-class) survived the invasions of Eidenburgh, though they took severe damage. However, several non-profit corporations and veterans associations have restored the old warhorses back to their former condition. After a massive fundraising campaign, the two battleships were sold and transferred to the Eidenburgh Naval Veterans Association for $4 million each. (The ENVA is a private organization not backed the National governemnt of Xagrurg or any of its state branches) They now are berthed at a marina in Eidenburgh at 437 Eastburough Drive at the waterfront and are open to the public for tours.

BREAKING NEWS! LIVE
“A couple of minutes ago, according to the Xagrurgian Seismology Monitoring Center, several observations from passing cargo ships, and a broadcast from Fortunan news outlets, there has been a nuclear detonation reported to be located around the location in Rali Atoll. This has shown a significant development in the isolationist nation of Fortuna’s nuclear research program. We’ll be back with more details as the situation progresses.”

"Welcome back to XNNN. Sorry about the hiatus in our broadcasts for the past months as we had to undergo several internal changes due to shifting priorities in the network. Anyway, here's today's top stories;"

Mason Entertainment's New Previously Unreleased Nervena Album Blows Past High Expectations on First Week
"The months leading up to release date of Nervena's 1990 previously-unreleased album Sheep, there has been massive amounts of hype for the album, coveted by many and some of its songs even appearing on bootleg compliations for the past decades. Nervena, although they disbanded in 2004, remains a highly influential band in modern music. Its former frontman and lead guitarist, Kurdt Cobain, has highly praised Sheep, saying in press interviews that he is pleased with their album's sound, produced by the legendary Johnny Schizoid, who also produced their Bliss, Perkidan, Made Not Born, and Nervena albums, and is a must-have to fans of their third album I Hate Myself and I Want to Die. Sheep has already reached Platinum status, selling over a million units and even more online.
You can purchase a copy of their album Sheep here: https://youtu.be/p6NpwUIjX_s (download link: https://mega.nz/#F!Mt93jbDD!swqBB06PjjpBgGapC8vPhA )

Nervena Reunites?
"As Sheep continues to skyrocket in sales, rumours are spreading among the Nervena and Chevy Metal fan communities that a reunion is in the near future. Some are predicting that Kurdt Cobain, Krist Novoskelic, and Davie Grohl will be performing together once again at the Urth Songfestival. None of them have commented on these rumours as yet off this news broadcast."

Eidenburgh Bustling Once Again
"After 1 year of the Auroran-Pacific War, the city of Eidenburgh has relatively recovered from the attack committed by Kuthern and Furnifoldan forces. The local economy is doing well for itself, the heavy industrial sectors growing in strength from foreign and domestic investment. The reconstruction of the railroads leading between Imperijm and Eidenburgh along with the completion of the Celannican-funded monorail has also helped to boost commerce in both Imperium and Eidenburgh and alleviate traffic on the National Xagrurgian Interstate."

“Welcome back to XNNN and I’m your host-you already know my name so let’s get right to the news.”

Xagrurgian “Grunge” Band Launches Auroran Tour
“Today, 1980’s grunge band ‘Nervena’ announced they are planning to tour around Aurora in honour to their new release of their album ‘Sheep’ with their former drummer Davie Grohl and former bassist Krist Novoskelic reuniting with the band. Already, millions of the band’s fans are overjoyed with the tour and plan on attending the following areas on where they’re planning to play at:
Imperium - Grand Mercy Park in front of the Presidential Manor
Laona - Paramost Theatre, June 24
Tuvaltastan - Slovin Concert House - July 2
Tivot - F&T Music Arena - July 15
More information on tour locations will be added as information comes in.”

Oan Ambassador to Zukchiva Killed
“Oan Isles Ambassador Atamoto Toangakau, stationed in Zukchiva, has been killed by local law enforcement after a misunderstanding between law enforcement officials in their pursuit of a fugitive, Ajenadro Haker, located in the area in Seveni International Airport. According to witnesses and official law enforcement reports, Mr. Toangaku attempted to flee from officers after telling them he forgot his luggage and identification onboard his flight and was accidentally killed by an officer who threw his knife at him and struck his head by accident. President James Deref and King Lewis Schnidly have offered their condolences to Mr. Toangakau’s family over this tragic incident.”

New Video Game Release Sparks Debates Over Artifical Intelligence’s Rights-Editorial
“The new video game by Moonfly Game Studios, “Eidenburgh: Become Human”, has sparked discussions over artifical intelligence across the country and possibly abroad in other countries as well over the future of artificial intelligence. ‘Eventually, we will reach a point that we are forced to confront this issue once artificial intelligence, androids, robots, call them whatever you want, gains sentience. The real question in hand here is, do we regard them as machines still or do we consider them a new species?,’ commented a political science professor from one of Imperium’s universities. Artificial intelligence research has progressed significantly over the past decades with greater applications utilized in all areas of life. But with greater research comes with a higher chance that AI will eventually become self-aware. Do I believe that should give AI rights? Not now, but once we get to that point of time and determine their true capacity to think logically and emotionally, then yes.”

The news anchor at his desk was about to say something and open his mouth, but sighs and then begins to read out his script for the day.

President James Deref Tours Around Aurora
“In the wake of growing diplomatic relations and a period of relative peace in the world, at least militarily, Xagrurgian President James Deref has launched a international diplomatic initiative to strengthen Xagrurgian ties with the nations on the Auroran continent, in an attempt to rebuild Xagrurgian integrity in the aftermath of the Auroran-Pacific War.”

Assowolfian Chancellor Theodora Quhencia Visits Xagrurg
“In a not-so-surprising show of solidarity, the Chancellor of Assowolf, Theodora Quhencia, has made a visit to the city of Imperium, walking around on the streets-surrounded by her bodyguards of course- with fans of her in Xagrurgian attempting to get a handshake or autograph from her. She will be later visiting the Presidential Palace later this afternoon at a public event with President James Deref who is planning to give a speech to the attendees and the nation as a whole.

King Edwards Pledges Financial Support to Eidenburgh Rebuilding
“In the aftermath of the mess of a invasion that was the Allied amphibious offensive in Eidenburgh, the city’s paramount financial institutions were in ruins, launching the city into a severe depression. However, with considerable financial aid from the federal government and the Xagrurgian royal family, who has stated, “It is our duty to the Xagrurgian people that we can assist them in any manner possible,” Eidenburgh seems to be on a speedy path towards economic levels before the war and possibly above, with foreign investment an ever-increasing trend. Worryingly however, is the underfunding of medical institutions in the city, who have been neglected and overcrowded in the mass immigration of refugees from Imperial Fandom seeking labor and safety along with the return of former residents, though the provincial government has stated they will attempt to remedy this in a future budget plan.”

BREAKING NEWS!
“This is Chris Gerard of XNNN coming to you live from inside the Imperium National Stock Exchange and as you can see here,” the camera panning from left to right, showing the mass panic of investors and other people in the trading area, “There is absolute pandemonium with the recent announcement by the Kuthern National News Agency that is a potential super-virus that has spread from Yasteria to Atlantia. According to anonymous sources from both Atlantia and Yasteria, this virus is extremely lethal yet its initial symptoms allow it to covertly spread and can even possibly bypass airport inspections. This, in addition to unconfirmed rumors that this virus has spread to Xagrurg, according to alleged witnesses to a violent incident in Eidenburgh earlier last week with the deaths of several people caused by a supposedly infected person of Vulpine descent. Already, the ramifications of this announcement has sent ripples throughout the Xagrurgian stock markets, plummeting 650 points. Already, panic has broken out on the streets, varying between calls for internment of Vulpines, banning of foreign immigration, an immediate response to the pandemic, and more. The Xagrurgian government has yet to comment on this ever-growing issue threatening Xagrurg but we’ll inform you viewers as soon as we can when we get more information-Oh wait, we got new information coming in!”

President James Deref Gives Speech In Imperium
As police and national guard troops hold back thousands of protestors demanding for information, President James Deref steps up to a podium set up outside on top of the front steps of Xagrurgian Senate building.
“Good evening gentlemen and gentlewomen, obviously you want reassurances that I will try everything in my power to combat this pandemic. Clearly, I will. I will with everything I have, every penny, every sweat, every goddamn second, I will give to work on fighting this infection and protect YOU, the people, with the Xagrurgian government. I know many of you aren’t convinced by this impromptu speech-as seen by that shoe that flew past my head-but I can promise you this, and I haven’t broken any promises since I took office, I will help, with the best scientists of Xagrurg, find a cure to this virus as soon as possible. Thank you.”

Xagrurgian National News Network

Financial Markets Stabilize After Brief Panic
“After the very noticeable shake in the Xagrurgian stock markets, overblown and exaggerated by several media outlets, including XNNN ourselves, the Imperium Stock Index has begun to recover from the brief tumble from last week. The Xagrurgian Federal Commodities Commission has launched investigations into those responsible for causing the mass panic and assisted in its spread, including Kuthernburg National News and Xagrurgian National News Network, the latter of whom has already settled their case with the XFCC and due to pay $250,000 in fines.”

Xagrurgian Federal Government Launches Nationwide Education Initiatives
“In an attempt to help expand economic growth in the long-term, President James Deref has passed legislation through Senate to launch programs in Xagrurgian secondary schools to promote S.T.E.M fields to the future generations of Xagrurg and increase the amount of engineers and scientists in the next 20 years. In addition to the S.T.E.M education initiatives, the Xagrurgian Federal Government has also started a program for Xagrurgian college and university students, offering full-ride scholarships to the most promising and high-achieving students in the nation. In a surprise move to several Xagrurgian educators, President James Deref has also launched another program to attract foreign students to study in Xagrurg, the program’s description stating applicants (whom must have a 4.0+ GPA and be of a certain financial status (poverty-lower middle class) may receive two years of free tuition while studying at certain Xagrurgian universities, overall reduced tuition costs, and high priority of financial aid.”
——“In other news related to education, President James Deref has coordinated with the Federal Civil Emergency Service to produce TV advertisements, pamphlets, and public appearances across Xagrurg to spread awareness of PC-60, advising people to wash their hands, seek a doctor immediately if you’ve been in contact with an infected person, and practice safe sex using condoms and not to share syringes as the disease can spread via blood and sexual transmission.”

Xagrurgian Department of Defense Continues Restructuring and Modernization Program
“In an effort to cut down on maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of the Xagrurgian Armed Forces, the Xagrurgian Department of Defense has ordered the production of 20 RC-9 “Grim” Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles to supplement the reduction of fighters and bombers in the Xagrurgian Air Force, 15 F-20 fighter jets and 15 F-222 strategic bombers planned to be decommissioned by the end of 2025 along with the reduction of active soldiers from 550,000 to 500,000 by the end of 2035. The recent S.T.E.M initiatives are hoped to intrigue Xagrurgians to join the military in the future and encourage them to engage in military drone-related careers.”

Auroran Interregional Aviation Association Gains More Members
“The Auroran Interregional Aviation Association, also known as the A.I.A.A, has increased the amount of members within their ranks up from 20 million to 45 million from last year, thanks to aggressive advertising campaigns and youth programs designed to encourage kids to go into aviation-related careers. The AIAA dates back to 1951, where its founder, Charles Townsend who was formerly in the Xagrurgian Air Service (predecessor of the Xagrurgian Air Force) for a couple of years, established the first AIAA chapter in Eidenburgh, the birthplace of Xagrurgian aviation and industrial hub for machinery and all sorts of vehicles in the 19th to 20th centuries. From there, he and his friends became active in their local communities, encouraging more and more people to join their organization, eventually leading to their widespread presence across Xagrurg. With the popularity remaining relatively high due to the prestige that came with employment with the Xagrurgian Air Force and the space race, they rapidly grew and cemented their place in Xagrurgian society. The Auroran-Imperial War and Auroran-Pacific War put a damper on recruitment but they eventually recovered as peacetime rolled in and people went back to their normal lives. The AIAA also branched out into other parts of Aurora, such as Axdel in Sekan and Montza, whose chapters are currently celebrating their 20th-year anniversary of their creation in those cities.”
