ROLE-PLAY by Tamurin

1. RP GENERAL:

NEWS FROM VANARAMBAION
The Confederacy of Vanarambaion has been altered into an Empire after the total abolishment of all democratic structures in the nation. This sudden change has not yet had an impact on Vanarambaion’s foreign policy, but could mean a strategic move towards anti-democratic nations.
A part of Vanarambaion, a colony, has declared independence. Vanarambaion has accepted this move, but insisted on keeping military bases inside the new country. The new country named itself “Europtima” and has a democratic government.
Vanarambaions forces landed in zone 47. It seems that the Empire is integrating this area into its nation to replace the lost ground and ressources in Europtima.

NEW ALLIANCES IN EUROPA
Due to recent conflicts and possible wars, two new alliances have been formed in Europa: The Central Peninsular Alliance (CPA), founded by Orioni, and the Europa Periphery Alliance (EPA), founded by Jaihu. Both Alliances want peace and security, but are opposed to one another due to the conflicts between their members.
The CPA consists of nation on the central peninsular of Europa (Orioni, Vanarambaion, Argenland, Great Kings, Phil IV and Tamurin). They are currently discussing what to do about the expansion of Niederoesterreich into zone 43, an area north of Tamurin.
The EPA consists of nations in the north of Europa (Jaihu and Tagmatium). Also Niederoesterreich is talking about joining the alliance.

2. RP MILITARY:

THE CENEPA ISLANDS CONFLICT
The Sabre rattling between Meteorola and the S.S.S.S.-led coalition of S.S.S.S., Niederoesterreich and Tagmatium continues. Vanarambaion seems to allie with Meteorola…

WEATHER by Meteorola

During the pervious period the tropcial system that was effecting Niederosteriech fell apart as it moved out to sea allowing the area to dryout. Across the rest of Europa's islands drier and warmer weather began to move in. The Central Pennisula and southern Europa saw some light rains as a weak disturbance moved through the area. From Tamurin to Brawandi down towards Andro and the southern nations. There were a few reports of some inbeded thunderstorms around Sun and Moon Cities, This was mainly assosiated with some upsloping winds. Onshore flow has returned to the north bringing with it some warm, but wet conditions. Showers were reported from Hopetown in Lanjon back to Brie in Cheesefish.

The outlook for the coming week will bring a shift in storm tracks to a more northerly track. This will bring a low pressure system to the islands and the Central Penninsula. A head of the storm system, the north will continue to have onshore flow, but as the low moves by, off shore flow will dry the north out. Dry conditions will once again move into the south and east as a ridge of high pressure moves into the area.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS by Phil IV

Not much happening in Foreign Affairs this week. Embassy considerations with the USK (United socialist Kingdom) are under way, but other than that, it's been a quiet week in the rest of NationStates...
