It is times like these, that make us wonder the purpose for weapons and blood shed in our world.
These weapons that we bear, that are our protection and independence…carry with it a responsibility, a duty to defend our friends and love ones, against the great evils of the world that seek to disrupt our peace and fortune.
So I ask you, fellow and loyal citizens, to prepare yourself for this war, a war which should like no other that our people has face before. A war of great carnage and blood, one that would test our nation’s strength and pride.
One that would define us…as a Nation.
And while we fight,
Let us not forget our duty and morals
The principles that guide this nation,
And the conscience of the people and State.
"

Chancellor Implements Democracy This morning, the Chancellor has carry out the country's first election plan draft to the newly created Loyalist Parliament. By 10:15 pm tonight, the DCL would officially become a Democratic Republic.
However, many outsiders have been critical about the system the Chancellor has implemented, which in sense is not a true democratic government. For one thing, the Chancellor and his family would still retain authoritative power as an arbitrary head of state, free to intervene with any bill being pass in Parliament. The military would still also be loyal and under the control of the Chancellor. In most cases, the Chancellor has deny the new system as a constitutional monarchy.
Here is a basic break down of the new government system:
- Citizens elect the representative for their residential district.
- The elected representative (Districtor) would take a seat in the Loyalist Parliament, among other Districtors.
- The Districtors would discuss and vote on federal level bills bought the government.
- Bills can be issue by any Districtor or private group (as long as it has 500 signatories from Loyalist citizens).
- Bills that pass with the voting would may be move onto be review by the Chancellor, who has the right to remove the bill.
- If not, each Districtor would sign the bill and it would pass to be implemented.
Districtors have a term of one year. They must receive a majority vote and not hold any other government office during their term. There is no central democratic position in this system (no President or Prime Minister).
Most rural villages have the tradition of voting their village chief. Formal democracy in the State made its first appearance when the Chancellor allow the position of districtorial manager to be elected. This provincial level democracy prove to be successful, and some Loyalist citizens soon began to press for national level elections.
The first district elections are to be held in five months, sparking off many nation-wide celebrations by citizens in wait of election day.

New Offshore Wind Mill FarmConstruction has began on a large scale wind mill of the shore of the Sai Nam Gulf east of Lia. The government has invested 7 billion yao in this state project, in hopes of fulfilling recent increase in energy consumptions.

As industries and household consumptions grow in light of economic prosperity, the demand of electricity from machinery and electric appliance has grew. The government in past had address this problem by curbing the availability of consumer appliances and setting electricity schedules. For example, household blenders are ban and in the city of Mei, residential power is cut from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. These are however, short term solutions. Environmental conservation is also an issue with any new power plant.
The project would be manage by the state firm of Loyalist Energy, who also contracted the country's natural gas plants and the Ni Yai Dam. Expertise from Saletsian companies is also present. The wind mill farm would contain two hundred wind turbines, all manufactured in Anyia using indigenous technology. It would be DCL's first offshore wind farm and would stand as a testament of the country's new technological prowess.
The Sai Nam Gulf is the perfect place for the new wind mill farm, for many reasons. Due to its unique geographic close off from the sea, the area receives some of the highest continuous wind speeds in the country. On a average summer day, gales moving at 30 to 60 km/h off shore are common. Also, the area is completely uninhabited, so the wind farm would not disrupt local boats or commercial shipping. The inlet from the sea is also narrow, easily patrolled to prevent sabotage and defend from attacks.
Construction is estimate to be completed in three years. A shore station would relay the power to the city of Lai and Fort Gwan. Similar wind farms are schedule to be constructed in the near future in Na Sui and Yaolin.
