UASS weakened

[/glow]

After the countries of the Chinese Loyalist and PUR left or announced their wish to leave the UASS, its current members are forced to discuss this situation. Once being one of the strongest Taijituan alliances, it has now downsized to a "middle-sized" group.
There has been yet no official press release from Bandana regarding the future of Saletsia in the UASS. Several local politicians though welcomed he downsizing of the UASS as a reason for the central government to turn its back on socialism.
There are also speculations on a possible change of the governmental system.

Saletsia ends year-long military presence in the Chinese Loyalist Republic

After the decision of the CL to leave the UASS, military agreements between CL and Saletsia have become void. Thus making hundreds of soldiers and experts have to leave former Saletsian bases on CL soil. Her Excellence, Pres. Barga, ordered the withdrawal of all military forces, installations and equipment and all military-related things. However, economic relations with our neighboring country continue.

---

Press release from Bandana says the Government may change the system in the near future. The current presidial system may be replaced by a parliamentary system or a constitutional monachy with an elected Prime Minister acting as head of government. An internet poll has been set-up to allow the population to state it's opinion.

Saletsia, Republic no more!

It is now official, The former People's Republic of Saletsia has now transformed to an Empire. Former president Barga is now the Empress of the nation, the head of state. With the transformation came changes, such as the act that Empress Barga is willing to hand down the power over the government to an elected official, the chancellor. The very first elections for the office of chancellor shall take place within 4 months. Te first time, Saletsia will have a nationwide election since the fall of the fascist dictatorship marking the beginning of the People's Republic.

Tensions: Saletsian minorty outside the border

As tensions arise amongst the Saletsian minority within the  Union of Free Men the Imperial Saletsian Government has decided to send more tanks to the border in order to ensure the Empire's safety and that of the Saletsian minority. Saletsian forces have the order to yet stay within the Saletsian side of the border. Furthermore, howitzer formations are being set up along the border.

Fighting in UFM erupts!

About an hour ago fighting between the Saletsian Unionist Force and Union of Free Men military units has erupted on the UFM side of the border. The SUF is a militant group of Saletsian combatants willing to fight for freedom of their inhabited lands on the wrong side of the border. The actual number of combatants is unknown.
So far the Imperil Saletsian Government has not issued any statement on the recent events. Though more and more military personnel and equipment are being sent to the border. The border with People's Republic of Loyalist is also at high alert.

War-loving Ozians!

This day, the Ozian Sancta obviously has gone insane attacking the Saletsian colony, Saletsia-Minor.
Saletsia-Minor is the territory inhabited and built by Saletsians in Utopia when it was still member of the UASS alliance. Ozians launched missiles on major Saletsian cities killing hundreds of civilians claiming they had done it for the welfare of the workers - paradoxically the only workers that have ever been in the area were those from mainland Saletsia: hence the Saletsian Government's right to claim what has been built and developed by them: namely everything within the claimed territory.
So far the Saletsian Governor-General Moshe Elmert had proved to have moral high-ground in this conflict since he refused to retaliate after the shameless attack on Saletsians in their own territory.
Relief efforts are underway with doctors being flown in from the Saletsia military base in Barakarin. Furthermore, the military supplies are being flown in from the same base.

"We may lose, but not without showing them what Saletsian bullets can do to their bloody bodies",said a interviewed soldier in Heshaidon helping to find buried corpses.

"They killed my Papa! They killed my Papa! Criminals! Killers! Murderers", screamed a little girl standing next to a pile of rubble from which an arm is visible. The pile of rubble she stood next to was what used to be their house - built 4 years ago.

Reports have been confirmed that Ozians launched the first actions of aggression while Saletsia was only improving its defense capabilities after finding out about Ozian military mobilization near the Saletsian-Minor border.

Her Imperial Highness, Empress Barga, has expressed her grief and distress over the death of innocent Saletsians and condemned the attack ordered by the Ozian Sancta as an "act of unreasonable and unjustifiable aggression".

Reports say that ballistic missiles from a Saletsian base filled with biological and chemical agents are now aimed at Ozian military targets.

Saletso-Barakarin Legion (SBL)

The Imperial Saletsian Government and the government of Barakarin have agreed to establish a joint-military force in order to further the two country's good relationships. Saletsia has declared itself to finance most of the joint-force while most troopers would come from Barakarin.
The typical tiger-striped BDU of the SBL distinguishes the SBL troopers from both Saletsian and Barakarin soldiers.

Training for the first batches of Saletso-Barakarin Legionaires has already started in Barakarin supervised by Saletsian officials.

Possible Ozian Threat?

After receiving satellite images of Ozian naval vessels in Eastian waters, the Imperial Saletsian Armed Forces were put on high alert and fully mobilized. Borders are being mined - as well as selected areas of the Western Coastline in order to avoid any hostile landings. Furthermore, howitzers are put in position and all battle units are ready. Even the civilian population - that is taught how to fight at school - is being prepared for a possible invasion and guerilla warfare.
Weapons productions hit a new year high.

A classified number of SBL legionnaires plus equipment has been sent to Saletsia.

Ozians getting closer - Neighbors Mobilizing!!!

After the mobilization of all Saletsian forces and preparing the civilian population for a possible war - caused by invasory attempts - the neighboring nations of Union of Free Men and the People's Republic of Loyalist have started mobilizing their military forces.
Saletsia's foreign ministry denounces the move as a sign of hostility towards the Empire. A spokesperson said that the fact these neighbors were mobilizing while Saletsians are preparing for a possible struggle to defend their homeland implies that our neighbors may have some secret military agreements with the two states.
Even an offer of a non-aggression-pact by Saletsia to UFM was declined - strengthening the rumors about the UFM and PLR planning hostile actions against Saletsia. Though troubling, the main threat for Saletsian security at the moment is - as officials say - the approaching Ozian vessels.
In order to secure the country against attacks, Chancellor Ariel Levana has invited Xyraelite forces into Saletsia: "These foreign forces will guarantee that no nation that does not wish to go to war with the State of Xyrael will launch any attack on the Empire."
