Newhallas Economy going down
Today the economical reports from Geon Financial Center came in and it doesn't look good for the Newhallan Economy. Just this Month the growth has shrunken from 2,5% to 0,01%. The cause is that the Colonial program has gone very over budged and the Unknown plague,Maggot attack on Geon and the heavy fighting against pirates is taking a toll on Newhallas economy says William Skallman Chief of Geonian Index.

How ever Skallman thinks that the worst is now over.

Heavy Fighting against Pirates

Currently Admiral Ross commander of the first fleet is caught in heavy fighting in Equum space. Unconfirmed reports also say that the Narg seventh fleet flagship was destroyed in a massive battle currently raging. Chief Admiral Parnagosky said in a comment that the first is helping Equum forces to take back a value bell asset from the pirates.

Colony ships
36 clony ships are planned to being build in the Azron shipyards in the Tviling system: The ships are about 1 km long,110m high and 80m width. Each ships are capable to carry 7.000 colonist and are heavily armed (for a civilian ship) and armored. This will increase the population growth of Asgard and Nymitgard.

Ships for sale
Today has 4 cruisers been delivered to the moon government of Nectum Astors. Several more orders are underway and surprisingly many governments are lining up to buy quality Hallan ships. Tarnian Hegemony has been the number 1 costumer buying 12 cruisers,23 frigates and 56 corvettes and are soon even buy a Dreadnought. Plans to increase Azrons building capacity has been approved to handle all the new orders.

---

Alliance whit Tarnian Hegemony

Today during Parongosky normal state of the Alliance speech, she said that the Tarnian Hegemony has accepted a the mutual friendship act. The Hegemony is a 46 system theocratic dictatorship but are has almost no military. The Hegemony was attacked a few years ago by the expansionist race of Tarn (a subspecies of Tarnians) and most of the systems where sacked. The Hegemony recovered but has still not raised a military. In the act the Hallan defence force while help build and train Tarnians new military. The Hegemony while on the other hand invest in the expansion of Azron shipyards located on the moon of Freja in the Tviling system and will buy a fleet of ships (230 ships) for a reduced cost.

Expansion

Today the The Newhallan government officially claimed the 23 system. However this is not the last of Hallan expansions as the final borders are still to be drawn.

[Newhalla]

Surprisingly huge growth

In the latest economic report from Geon financial center shows a huge growth in newhallas economy. The growth is so large that Newhallas economy designation from the WA has now risen up to Powerhouse. This unexpected growth is also the largest single growth in the Newhallan history.

This is a huge victory for the Moderaterns and the Torns and will surly be seen much in the upcoming election in August.

[Newhalla]

WAR
war is upon us. As a response to NARs and Goncar decleration of war against Equum the Allied States of Newhalla has now offiacially declared war on the North American Republics and the All Saint federation of Goncar. Already have the Halla air forcers made a smalle scale bombing on the Goncaran capital. 5 bombers carried out the attacke. Clara Bjengson is curently holding a spech for the public.

Translated.
When i first heard of that NAR dispatched naval forcers to thw gold vein, i knew that war would be on the horizon. Commisare Bryan this war is on your hands. And only you can stop this madness. But if a single NAR soldier land on Equum Alatum territory then nothing but a full scale invasion of NAR will not far away.

All hallan forcers are also on highest alert.

[Newhalla]

No more war

It seems that the NAR forces have finally pulled out from Equum territory after the Equum government formally apologized that they sent a sky ship to the gold vein which the NARan navy had blockaded. It is estimated that around 10.000 people died during the brief but brutal war.

An interview whit the newly appointed Colonial minister Aderyn Terfel

Welcome to NFN.
Aderyn: Thanks
Reporter: So Aderyn you where born in Avaerlion.
Aderyn: Yes i am, i came to Newhalla for 14 years ago when Mar Parangosky offered me the lead position of N-SEP colonization program.
Reporter: You accepted the position, why did you do that?
Aderyn: Well i don't rally know, mostly because that the space program in Avearlion didn't have the large founding as it is here. But i still dont understand why me, why became i the leader of a colonization program for some foreign nation.
Reporter: You did a what some people called it housecleaning in N-SEP, just a few days after you accepted Mars proposal.
Aderyn: When i first arrived to the N-SEP HQ, i was shocked to see how unprofessional and sloppy organization. So i sent a proposal to make N-SEP more cost effective to Parangosky.
Reporter: And she approved what happened after, what reactions did you got from N-SEP workers?
Aderyn: Those i didn't fired was pretty positive and you know nice, but those i fired was a different story but i think they accepted after some time in police holding cells.
Reporter: Police holding cells?
Aderyn: Long story, but you can say they weren't happy white the changes i did to N-SEP.
Reporter: Okej lets move on. You authorized the building the Hallan Luna Base, what where your thoughts during these times.
Aderyn: Well i quickly realized that most nations where literally light years ahead of us and that we needed to being somewhere. So i began whit something small.
Reporter: Like building a Luna base.
Aderyn: Exactly. But N-SEP didn't have any experience in manned space flights so i had to hire some foreign help. Mostly from Michutopia and Equum maybe some guy from Narglandia.
Reporter: The construction took about 2 months and now there is 4000 people living in that base. Did you get any reactions from your counterparts in other SLU nations.
Aderyn: Almost nothing at all. Not that it really mattered.
Reporter: Your next challenge was the developing of the FTL drive and of what i know it wasn't easy.
Aderyn: Definitively not. We could just ask some other SLU nation whit FTL capabilities to lend a hand or buy one.
Reporter: Why didn't you do that?
Aderyn: Because N-SEP needed to learn to stand on its own, but it wasn't like we closed all contacts. By using blueprints from several SLU nations we manages to develop our own FTL engine, it took time but it increased N-SIPs positive self picture and sent a strong message to other nations that Newhalla can follow the development of the rest of the world whiteout help from it.
Reporter: You where on the first FTL capable Hallan ship Karlskrona when she made her first FTL jump, why did you do that whit the risks of some engine failure.
Aderyn: Because this was it, this was my project ,my responsibility and if i failed then i could just as well go down whit my failure and my ship. But we didn't fail and a few months later we had a fleet of scout ships looking for a suitable planet for Hallan colonization.
Reporter: After the discovery of the tviling system, you said in a press conference that "That this is as good as it gets" and that "the Hallan people must claim this planets and systems as fast as possible".
Aderyn: Yes, unfortunately i was largely ignored by the government. I took almost a half year to them to decide to begin a colonization program.
Reporter: You have at multiple occasions criticized governments plans for being "to much navy and not much everything else"
Aderyn: Well the problem was that most of the my budget went to military expenditures like building of Azron shipyards and Asgard and Nymitgard defense planetary networks. If you compare to Michutopia and their colony WT-44. But lets rule out that the planets is a black hole now. When our total colonial population reached 1 and a half million, they had almost 350 million people on WT-44. So from now on the civilian side will be prioritized when i am Colonial minister.
Reporter: Thank you Aderyn minister of colonial affairs and still chief of N-SEP for coming here.
Aderyn: ehh The navy was generous enough to give me a corvette to get here.

Golden age for Newhallan economy

Today the Newhallas economy status was lifted to All-consuming by the WA. This mean that the Newhallan economy is now larger then ever. The current administration has ensured a sustained growth while not risking civil rights and political freedoms according to the Finance minister Björn Borg.

But several "experts" in the libertarian party the Hallan Patriot Party says to NFN that the Newhallan economy could be twice as big if the current administration quote did not wasted money on expensive things like national health service and free education.

Already has the Moderatern and Torn skyrocketed in the surveys and it seem that the opposition has a very high uphill to go trough for the general elections in august.

[Newhalla]

Rearrangements in the Hallan ministry's

Today the Hallan government announced it will do several rearrangmnets in the different ministry's.

The changes are the following

Ministry of Enterprise, Energy and Communications will be separated into 3 different ministry's. Tinala Brodin will be taking the ministry of Enterprises and the two others Energy and Communications will be taken by Hugo Black (energy) and Pernilla Cecillia Whalgren (Communications).

A new ministry of Intelligence will be formed on N-SICs request. The previous ministry Intelligence was disbanded after the Garza Coup and the following civil war. The new ministry will be headed by the former major general Gröger Lindqvist.

and at last the ministry of SLU affairs will be renamed to Ministry of SLU & UDLR affairs. The ministry is already responsible for UDLR affairs so the name change is mostly ceremonial.

[Newhalla]

Ohhhh the Cookmanity

Thousands of fire has lighten up Newhalla in the first anti-cookie day in Hallan history and SLU as well. Projections show that around 5,123 Billion cookies has lost their cookie life in these burning's.

Any response from the other cookie loving nations is further moment minimal, but Hallan defense forces is on highest alert and the Hemvärnet is also mobilizing.

Already plans for a bigger cookie burning is underway after the election here in Newhalla in August. Then its planned that 10 Billion cookies of all flavors to be burned or sent to a needy country.

[Newhalla]

Breaking News

Coup in NAR is shaking the region. People's Front of Social Liberation PFSL has taken power from the democratically elected regime led by People's Commissar Bryan. Recent reports also indicates that the PFSL has taken the Workers' National Council and now have de facto control over the island. The exile NARan government (including People's Commissar Bryan) is currently in the NARan closest ally Avaerlion. We have tried to get the state minister for a comment but where unsuccessful. But the spokesperson for the governemnt said to NFN that the Newhallan government will support the democratically elected NARan government and condemns the PFSLs use of violence.

[Newhalla]

Even more Breaking News

It seems like the The Council Republic of North American Republics very existence is now threatened when the coup leader Andrew Rey formerly announced the creation of Union of Socialist Council Republics. Tensions rise in the SLU. Now lets listen to State minister speech in the plenis hall inside the reiksdag.

A redheaded middle aged woman steps forward to the speaker table.

As you may now know the government of the North American Republics has been overthrown by a far left extremist group known as PFSL. May this be very clear that the allied states of Newhalla will not tolerate a undemocratic elected government in control of NAR. While i believe this is a issue for the NARan people, whatever they need more government controlling their life's or the opposite i have nothing to say. But when a far fringe group like the PFSL overthrow a democratically elected government instead of an democratic process then -pause- then they have lost any legitimacy of their cause. If PFSL cause is really for the people then they do not need to use violence. SO this is why the Allied States of Newhalla cast our full support to Commissar Bryan and the Council Republic of North American Republics. And we will continue to support Commissar Bryan unless the so called The Socialist North American Republics will stop their use of violence and holds an election to see what the NARan people truly wants.

[Newhalla]

Peace negotiations whit Socialist States

Today the leaders of Socialist States of Newhalla proposed to start negotiations on one condition that GRAF forces withdraw from Hallan soil. This is after the soldiers of Bonland and Älve army groups stopped firing on each other despite higher officers orders. The soldiers from both Allied states and Socialist states ate launch whit each other and buried the dead from both sides. All combat operations are for now stopped for both sides. Estimates suggest that about 168 people (mostly soldiers) have been killed by this uprising. To calm the public the states minister Clara Bjengson said to NFN that she will bring up the idea of internet Democracy that is used whit great effect in The Grand Federation of Michutopia. Already about 25% of the laws are voted by the public. But Clara Bjengson points out that the idea of following the Michutopia model has been on the table for a long time.

[Newhalla]

Socialist States demands territorial expansion for Newhalla

Today the socialist states signed the Tran agreement where the Allied states regime are forced to make several reforms and to expand Newhallas territory to solve the overpopulation crisis. The agreement has also a minimal area for territorial expansion. How much minimal expansion is for the moment unknown. In fact the entire agreement is for the moment undisclosed. The Newhallan government will reveal the expansion plan to the SLU domestic affairs later this day or tomorrow.

[Newhalla]

Last fortification on Franco-Island captured

The last fortification on Franco-islanand has now been taken by a combined force of Hallan and Avaerlionian troops. The fortification was taken 3 hours after the attack was commenced. Causulties where high for ULDU forces around 350 Avaerlonian and 590 Hallan soldiers where killed during the attack. The fortification was fanatically defended by the socialist forces.

One of the soldier participating in the costly but necessary attack is Anders Bohr currently on some well deserved rest on the Hallan cruiser NNS Galen. "I was assigned to the scouting patrol for my regiment, my squad orders was to harass the Framco defenders until the ULDU forces got into position to attack. However a Avae company was misinformed and advanced to close to the Franco forces. And if that wasn't enough several hidden Francish tanks suddenly appeared. I let the tanks pass and when they had their weak spot against we fired our Gustavs against the tanks. The tanks where destroyed but not until they killed 14 Avaerlionian soldiers. When the attack commenced my squad and 4 other squads provided sniper cover for the Avaerlionian forces. Those Avaes where lucky we where there, the Francish soldiers always tried to circle around the Avae troops. So if if we are done here i am going to collect some debts from some bad poker players *cough*Matros*cough*.

[Newhalla]

Partial Direct Democracy soon a reality

In just 2 weeks the Hallan people will go for the first time to the "debatt torgen", where the Hallan people will get to vote on 2 legislation's.

Its is estimated that around 79& of the eligible voting population will attend the very first voting by the people. But its also estimated that the high percentage will decrease as the older generations are less politically active then the younger generations.

But the system is not a full direct democracy. Not all issues will be voted by the public. The voting by the people will be every 2 weeks on the most controversial and hot issues.

This also requires that the education system teach the new generations to be active politically and teach them how to think. See the issues from all perspectives and so on.

Kanabishan cannabis and Marijuana in DANGER

A unknown plague is threatening the very existence of Kanabishan drug plants, especially cannabis and marijuana plants.

This disturbing and shocking news has sent many Kanabishans and Hallans into depression.

So far over 46 billion Halians has been collected by common Hallans and Kanabishans and donated to N-SIC, who is trying to save the kanabishan plants.

Record amount of prototype and experimental weapons deployed at the Frankish front

As the combat intensifies at the Frankish front, the Hallan defense forces are deploying more and more prototype weapons.

These prototype weapons include so called "Iron man" company's, intelligent drones, hover tanks, Mjölnir commanders, Jötun gunships and Svaðilfari multi-role fighters.

Also the use of EMP weaponry has increased significant.

The fierce fighting has been a wake up call for the generals in the Hallan defense forces and we can expect a major reform in the military happening soon.

Breaking News

A few hours ago the Hallan air fleet lost contact whit the airship NAFS Strindberg. The airship went missing somewhere around the northern reaches of the Plex mountains. A Hallan air fleet spokesperson said to NFN that HAF (Hallan Air Fleet) does not have any suspects at this time.

But unconfirmed sources suggest that the Hallan air fleet is suspecting the Sani separatist for the disappearance of the Wallström class Air carrier NAFS Strindberg.

At the same time N-SIC reports shows a increase in activity by separatist movements in the Semi-Republic of Sani.

Is this prelude to war? only time will tell.

[Newhalla]

Some Wreckage of NAFS Strindberg Found

Early this morning local residents of the mountain town Albreck Fort found huge metal chunks. Local HAF personal confirms that these metal chunks are from the Air carrier Strindberg that went missing a few days ago.

The 354 Bärgsjägar division assisted whit local lansskaps militia and police force is searching the area for more wreckage and if lucky the 2000 large crew of NAFS Strindberg.

Bad weather or very bad weather is hindering search from air.

Sani separatist is still the main suspect of the disappearance. According to HAF the chances of NAFS Strindberg colliding whit the mountains is very low as the ship navigation is controlled by an Artificial intelligence and cannot make so called "human errors".

Price of Automated Hover Drones Doubles

Today the Hallan company Tradröpro (Tran Drönar Produkt) reported that the price of Hover drones has doubled in Newhalla since it's introduction by the company.

According to Tradröpro CEO Janna Ker the main reason for the price increase is the sudden demand for Hover drones.

The use of hover drones has untill a few months ago been restricted to the Ultra-modern city of Tran. But since the restriction was lifted on the sales of hover drone, several foreign company's has moved in to Newhalla. But despite the entrance of foreign company the price of hover drones rises and rises and rises even more.

But Janna Ker assures that the price will eventually fall down when Tradröpro expands its operation to the rest of the country.

Last conservative lansskaps party Stockälv Stolt dissolves

A sad day for the Hallan conservatives today as the very last conservative party in Newhalla. But this reflect the political life most Hallan have. According to a recent nationwide poll around 0,02 consider themselves as Conservatives.

And the group is shrinking rapidly. Not because conservatives change their views but mostly because they simply die of old age. Not many of the younger generations attracts to the conservatives in Newhalla.

Is this a loss for democracy in Newhalla? Both yes and no.

Yes because an ideology will not have any representation in Lansskaps reiksdags

and no beacuse in 1 or 2 years the ideology will be basically dead. In Newhalla.

Bjengson administration accused for being Avaerlionian puppet

Today a 100 000+ demonstration was held outside the main entrance of Reiksdag. The demonstrators where protesting Newhallas entrance in the new CAT (Co-Operative Alliance Treaty) organisation. Which is viewed by many of the demonstrators is Avearlonian controlled. Some even accused the State Minister of being an Avaerlonian puppet. And a recent national poll shows that more Hallans view Avaerlion negatively. And another poll shows that more and more Hallans prefer a isolationism policy. The support for isolationism policy is very strong in Newhallas 27 minority groups that makes 31 percent of the total population.

Multiple explosion rocks the Sani city of Börkunun and the Greater Sani territory

Breaking News 1 hour ago several explosions rocked the second largest city in Börkunun in Sani semi-republic. 14 explosions killing a total of 59 people and another 4 explosions killed 9 person in the Greater Sani territory. The Sani Kingdom separatist movement has claimed responsibility. This might mark the return of the Kingdom separatist after several years of rebuilding after a majority of the leadership where killed in a Hallan air raid 13 years ago.

The Kingdom separatist goals are to restore the Greater Sani Kingdom that was destroyed when the newly establish Newhallan alliance invaded the country in 1507 a reprisal after decades of Sani raids on Hallan territory. It is said that the entire Sani royal family was executed on the Hältens square in San city. After the brief occupation a pro-Hallan governance was established and the Sani territory was included into the Newhallan alliance.

Now tension is now rising between republican separatists, the anti-hallan Kingdom separatist and the Newhalla supporters are on the rise. Even though both separatist groups agrees that Sani needs to gain its Independence from Newalla, they don't agree on how the new Sani state would look like. But the Newhallan government and Reiksdag has refused to negotiate an exit from Newhallan alliance stating that Sani is far to unstable to secede from the Newhallan alliance, fearing that the territory might fall into all out civil war.

Newhallan protectorate nation Divinity's Isles accept Newhallan statehood.

Today the one of Newhallas 16 protectorate nations has officially accepted Newhallan statehood. The 16 protectorates have representation in the Newhallan Reiksdag and are considered de facto Hallan states. But Divinity's Isles is the first of 16 protectorates to officially accept Newhallan statehood.

The isles serve as home base for the 5th Hallan fleet and the demographics of the isle are mostly Hallane. The isles has a population of 1,6 million people most of them living in Divinity's Hall.

The State minister said in a comment to NFN that she hopes that more Island protectorates accept Newhallan statehood as it eases many problems involving the economy and other nations aggressiveness towards the smaller nations. As some nations lies in troubled regions.

Bjengson Administration risks losing monthly approval elections

Tomorrow is Newhalla monthly approval election. When the people of Newhalla decides if the current administration going to stay in power or not. These election are every 3 months and the current administration needs at least 40% percent of the votes to stay in power.

And the Bjengson administration is in danger. A new party the Folkets Arbetar Partiet (FAP) has shown to grow during the last months. The party is sympathetic whit the NAR and wants Newhalla to join the workers revolution. And the party has broad public support and even endorsements from key persons in other opposition parties.

It remains to be seen if the Bjengson administration will be forced to step down and then most likely FAP will seize power.

[Newhalla]

Delayed results in, Bjengson administration still in power


Like our new 1 sentence news. Not. Well then *Censored* and have a nice day.

Building of the Yggdrasil space elevator officially begun

Today the first steps to an space elevator has begun. The first parts of the elevator has now been built and assembled on the Ymir Standar a large ship around 5,8 km long an 2,1 km broad. The reason for the elevators position on a ship is to provide a moving target for space debris that could damage or even destroy the elevator.

The project will include many Hallan companies such as Tradröpro, Alment verk but also the air force and the navy.

The project was announced 15 years ago but was been shelved because of uncertainties like Newhallas deficit, which was a problem then. But 7 months ago the project gained new momentum when the Newhalla government enlisting several publicly owned (and even some private) company's to assist in the project.

The total cost for the space elevator is projected to be around 10 billion HAL and the building is estimated to take around 1 year. The material used in the construction of the elevator is currently classified.

But criticism of the project are many. Many believe that the money could be for better use. Even the Hallan patriot party which usually supports half-crazy uber expensive projects like the lunar shipyards, the iron soldier project and the serpents dome (similar to the shield used by the Grand Federation) , the party however does not supports this space elevator project.

999th Vimur tournament begins at the Great Arena

Today the 999th Vimur tournament starts in the Great arena. Thousand of "warriors" has gathered to fight each other for 7 seven days non-stop. The last man standing will be declared the winner and gets to meet the Geirröd giant and his offspring's Gjalp och Greip. But of course due to the Gods absence the Geirröd giant and hes offspring will be instead replaced whit the last tournament champion.

While back int the old day's the tournament required that the participants to kill each other until the most clever, strongest and most resilient warrior remained. It has not changed in the last decades. But most warriors can call for mercy when injured and can leave the tournament. Though a healthy uninjured warrior cannot leave the tournament. Most of the time only a very few warriors die.

The warriors will begin whit nothing except some trousers and an somewhat unreliable piece of map. Weapons (no fire-arms) and other things like Armour, Medicine and food will be scatter around the tournament area. And of course outside help is strictly forbidden and still officially carries a death sentence, but it has been a very long time since anyone received that sentence.

The warriors will start at the great arena but will in time move on to the nearby 5 cubic kilometer Arena grounds.

Related to the tournament the N-SIC domestic security section has increased it's threat level during the tournament in Geon from level 3 yellow to level 4 orange.

[Newhalla]

Great demonstration against the Emergency Security Act

Today the Emergency Security Act was passed in the Reiksdag despite the act being turned down by an national vote. ESA grants among many things the right for the government to detain Newhallan citizen indefinably. Furthermore the Bjengson administration has moved to make ESA immune from being dismantled by national referendums. Which means that the Newhalla people can't vote down ESA. Anger is growing towards the Bjengson administration, which has provided fuel to FAP (Folkets arbetar partiet).

The party has grown significantly and is the largest parties in Newhalla according several national polls.

But the State minister said in a comment that ESA is necessary to protect Newhalla from revolutionary groups but did not specific which ones.

[Newhalla]

Intelligence leak reveals a secret security agency

Today the Chief of N-SIC Mar Parangosky leaked a huge number of classified files to the public. The move is unexpected albeit nothing new and primarily shows the activities of a previously unknown security agency INSÄPO short term for Inrikes säkerhets polisen (Domestic security police)

While all the information has not currently been fully examined, the information reveals the operational history of INSÄPO. The agency was secretly established 6 years ago under the previous social democratic Njord administration. The agency was even kept secret from N-SIC and it's primary function was to eliminate dissidents and other threats to national security. Apparently the Bjengson administration decided to continue their predecessors policy.

This news has further provided fuel to the peoples anger over the government and rumors of fraud during the monthly approval elections. We ask how long can the state minister stay in power?

[Newhalla]

Terrorist organization The Equalists and it's mysterious leader calls for a peaceful revolution in Newhalla

Today the Newhallan State Media was hacked by the terrorist organization The Equalists. Their mysterious leader The Troubled one called all Hallans to overthrow the current Newhallan government. Claiming that the current government under Bjengson has been corrupted by "foreign elements". The Troubled one also claimed that INSÄPO was nothing more then hired foreign mercenaries. At the end of the speech troubled one called for an peaceful revolution to cleanse Newhalla from corruption. The entire speech was just around 2 minutes.

The speech was posted online but was taken down by INSÄPO. But this caused an dramatic increase of demonstrations all over Newhalla. The demonstrations where meet whit riot police complemented whit INSÄPO security forces.

[Newhalla]

Vote of no confidence against the Bjengson administration and the reiksdag

-"One step, one huge step to victory has been made today". Said Miranda Keane leader of FAP shortly after Reiksdags decision to allow a national referendum on a vote of no confidence against the Bjengson administration but also against the Reiksdag itself. If the Newhalla people vote that they have no confidence to the current reiksdag and government new elections will be held. The referendum will be held on Friday 15 and an potential new election will be held on 20 December one day before yearly Jul celebrations starts.

Polls gathered last month in November show that 56% percent of the Newhalla people have confidence in the current administration and 68% in the current Reiksdag. But much has happened since then. And looking at the demonstrations going on through out Newhalla it's quite apparent that there is not much love for Bjengson.



While most Hallan demonstrate against corruption, government taking away peoples freedoms and against agency like INSÄPO. There is also people demonstrating against Newhallas CAT membership and the current conflict whit CRNAR favoring a more isolationist policy's.

[Newhalla]

New elections to be held

The official results are now in. The Newhallan people have voted that they don't have confidence in the current government and Reiksdag. New elections is expected to be held 20 December this year.

Campaigning has already begun several days ago. But criticism has been raised over the short period between the announcement of the new elections and the election day is plentiful. But the Reiksdag insist on holding the election on the 20th.

Latest polls shows a almost 50% support for the FAP party and it's NARan born leader Miranda Keane.

[Newhalla]

FAP, sorry we meant NWP holds it's first official public meeting

Today during the FAP or rather NWPs first official party meeting, it's leader Miranda Keane announced the renaming of Folkets arbetar parti to Newhallan Workers Party. The reason for this is rather unknown. But many party members says to NFN that the abbreviation for Folkets Arbetar Parti was not that well though out.

Many of NWPs top shots where attended at the meeting. Including the party leader Miranda Keane, spokesperson for foreign affairs Tina Dal Västengren and the spokesperson for economics Tor Eskil Kjellman.

Part of Keanes speech in Särkens Torg

Brothers, Sisters, Comrades. It is good to see that the people in Newhalla standing up against the corruption of our regime. In just short ten years our nations economy grew from a regional average to one of the largest in SLU. But yet we ask, where is this growth. The Bourgeoisie have horded all the wealth. And we have been given illusions of power. But no longer shall we the proletarians be kept in the dark. Our revolution has begun my comrades!
But bot by the sword or the bullet. But trough words. The upcoming election will change everything, only if you the people act. Which you have done. And I'm honored to represent this party.
Now many of you may wonder. What course of action is best for Newhalla? Stay or leave CAT, sign white peace whit CNAR or perhaps even join their revolution. I say Newhalla needs to go on it's own path. We shall not be bullied by the foreign power of CAT or CRNAR. It is time that our place in this region to be recognized. But in the midst of the revolutionary feelings, we should not forget. That we are all humans. That we all want to live and help one and other. I hope that the people of this region will come to their senses and end this madness. And even if the human mind may disappoint, we should not lose hope.

Peace or a temporary truce?

Peace atlast? Well that the direction the 2nd Leninist war appears to be going. And while many Hallans haw grown weary of the second regional war against the CRNAR and it's shifting allies, many Hallans now ask "is the peace going to last" or is this just a temporary truce. That say if the peace talks don't break down. 

The North American Republics are renown for starting numerous conflicts, the last being the USCR-ULDU conflict otherwise known as the first Leninist war in Newhalla. And what will stop NAR from just starting the process over yet again. Will the peace treaty have any reassurance to the war-torn nations of Logres and Azerzia that this will not repeat itself? (yet again). Or will the NARan learn to spread their ideas through non-military means like the rest of the region? 

Well only enigmatic rulers in Avearlion and NAR will know.
