-Analysis: Mordusia leads the world's monarchist movements-
By: David Lapila Alcaria,Venegas,Mordusia
Royal Palace in Alcaria, Home to the Royal Family of Mordusia
For centuries, the royal monarchy of Mordusia has survived under the reign of Seleya's longest lasting royal house, the House of Ibarra-Cascabel. First established in 1459, the royal house has been at the forefront of all Mordusian affairs.The royal family has held a strong but benevolent grasp on the only legislative chamber in the nation. It is clear that the nation can be classified as an "absolute monarchy", however the powers of the monarch do not control every single aspect of the nation. Yet, for the past year, we have seen much of the monarch's power unfold on the international stage. Last year,the nation's armed forces launched a large-scale invasion in Likatonia to successfully establish a monarch as the head of government of Likatonia. This act was not decided by the Royal Assembly in Alcaria, it was decided by the monarch of Mordusia, King Alosno III. The King met with his advisers days before an official intervention was publicly announced.According to one of his advisers, who decided to be anonymous during an interview, King Alonso stated that the reason for intervening in Likatonia was to "spread Mordusia's regional influence throughout the continent" and to "prevent the down fall of monarchism in the world". To this day, there are few monarchies in the world. Many of them have strong economic,political, and social ties with Mordusia. Despite cooperation with its monarchical allies, it seems that Mordusia is spearheading monarchist movements throughout the world and leads other nations in efforts to protect monarchism and its regional influence.
Dorvik, Luthori, Sekowo, Kizenia, and now Likatonia are most of the nations in the world who have retained all or parts of their historical monarchies. They may not have much power as in Mordusia, yet they are still in power. Mordusia is unique to the group of monarchist nations because of the influence and power the monarch projects to other countries. In Likatonia, we saw how a rapid response was taken by Mordusia (and eventually Sekowo) to set up a monarchist government in Clovisport with guidance from the Mordusian monarchy. In all ways the conflict could have gone, we could have seen an isolationist Mordusia who did no tjoin the conflict whatsoever. Yet, royalist rebels from Likatonia pursued Mordusia for help. This is interesting. The Likatonians could have called for aid to a closer monarchist nation like Luthori or Dorvik, but they instead called for Mordusia. Could this move be influenced and moved by Mordusia's total monarchy government or the regional influence that the nation has on Seleya? It could possibly be both, or maybe just a simple decision. Overall, the Mordusians took advantage of the situation and unrest to establish a successful monarch in the nation. Mordusia, since them, is now hailed as "instrumental" to world monarchism. The Trigunian response was similar to that of Kalistan, Mordusia was labelled as "imperialist". The age of imperialism is long over and has beenfor along time. Mordusia's actions in Likatonia were not imperialistic as some nations say. It was more of a strategic move by thenation to protect monarchism and extend its regional influence. Compared to other nations in the world, Mordusia's influence has not been very strong in the past 50 years, however, with its intervention in Likatonia it is safe to say that Mordusia will travel to great extents to protect monarchism, monarchist movements, and to expand its regional influence.
Very recently,Cildania's news service announced that they would be sending Foreign Affiars envoys to Mordusia.This move comes after Cildania has split into two constituent states, one syndicalist and one monarchist. The monarchist state of Cildania, Qendaria has stated that they would be sending envoys to meet with King Alonso III and his royal advisers. The Cildanian news service claimed that Mordusia is now "instrumental in spreading monarchism around the world" after its successful intervention in supporting Likatonian Royalist Rebels. Has Mordusia influenced and inspired the monarchist state in Cildania? Just like Likatonia, Cildania seems to want Mordusia's cooperation and economic aid considering that they have sent envoys. Similar to Likatonia, Cildania could possibly look for approval from Mordusia's monarchy to solidify their stance in their new state. Their movement against the syndicalists appears to be inspired by Mordusia's recent "monarchist intervention". It is likely that, monarchist movements and revolutions that have happened,that are occurring, and that will occur are looking for monarchist approval. This approval is coming from Mordusia. Mordusia is preparing to receive the Cildanian envoys but have not released a statement on the course of action they will take with Cildania. If a similar route is taken like the conflict in Likatonia, a monarchist state will be set up in Cildania, however, that will not likely be the case. Another similar intervention will be faced with socialist support from Trigunia and other nations, yet the ultimate decision will be to justify and approve monarchism in Qendaria. Alcaria and the King will ensure that monarchism in Likatonia, Cildania, and in Mordusia's sphere of influence will remain protected. It is safe to say that monarchist movements, royal individuals, and interventions are being lead by Mordusia more than any other monarchist nation that exists on Terra.

~Mordusian IT services expand, Companies boosting economy~
7th June 2022 Artelona,Venegas,Mordusia By: Berenice SaldivarVolaris Communications Headquarters in Artelona (above) Last month, Mordusia's largest tech firms lown as "The Big Three" announced a country wide expansion to develop and modernize Mordusia's Information Technology services. Volaris Communications, Empresa Stela, and Futura Enterprise stated that they would be co-developing 2 separate online operating systems for local businesses and for the largest corporations in Mordusia including several different banking firms such as Villar Y Zepeda and Banco Coruma. Volaris Communications will be leading the projects at their international headquarters in Artelona. The Big Three have named their project to modernize technology and information services in Mordusia the "VESF Project". The VESF Project includes the creation of new operating systems for different technological equipment. Mobile phones, computers, and other portable systems will benefit from one of the operating systems developed in the VESF Project named Scorpio-1.
The other operating system named Frasco-2 will be created for large corporations in Mordusia. This operating system will take care of company transactions, asset management, and overall online security protocols The Frasco-2 Operating System will be developed for large Mordusian banks so that the nation's top banks can satisfy customer needs through online banking services and instant account summaries and balances. The Frasco-2 is undoubtedly the most important of the VESF Project because of its direct involvement with the funds and overall assets of multiple Mordusian corporations. The Big Three have not announced whether the new VESF Project will be tied with LLBC FirstImperial Bank of Commerce's 1.1 Billion takeover of Banco Espinosa,however the option to do so is still open. The Big Three's new VESF Project is expected to cause hundreds of job openings in western Mordusia where the IT sector is most prominent. Many IT specialists and computer software engineers are being invited to Artelona to begin work on the VESF Project. Soon most people, large corporations, and the Mordusian economy will benefit from the VESF Project as it is projected to be completed within the next 4 months and will contribute over 37 billion MDN to the economy.

-National Attractions benefit from increase on Tourism Spending-
9th June, 2022 Salajara, Taleria, Mordusia
By: Karla HernandezLarante Beach and Skyline in Salajara, Taleria (above)
The Royal Assembly yesterday approved a new budget for 2022 and parts of 2023 that included a spending increase on infrastructure, defense, and tourism. Over 25 billion MDN was directed to the Royal Ministry of Tourism and Public Entertainment for the renovation of the nation's landmarks and for the betterment, expansion, and renovation of the nation's top tourist attractions. Currently, there are over 486 beaches along both Mordusian coasts in the east and in the west. All beaches have various open areas, restaurants, and family centers so tourists can enjoy the beauty of the coast. The new spending increase by the Royal Assembly will allow all 486 beaches and every large Mordusian city to receive new tourist centers. Tourist centers will be built throughout the country in beaches and cities with a population of 200,000 people or more. The tourist centers will contain informational kiosks on the area/city that they are visiting, free internet/WiFi areas, charging centers for any mobile devices including phones and cameras, family/resting areas, and many gift shops. Tourist centers will be located across coastal cities and in the nation's capital. Along with renovations and expansion, national landmarks throughout the nation will be receiving new security systems and personnel. Landmarks in Alcaria will be receiving most of the new security systems. Many of the nation's landmarks are located in Alcaria therefore the city will receive most of the money.Upon completion of the expansions and renovations, tourist arrival is expected to increase by 15% come next summer and spring.

-Royal Assembly ratifies ICTO, Military training/modernization begins-
21st June 2021 Alcaria,Venegas,Mordusia By: Andrea Ortiz
Mordusian Royal Ground Troops during shooting exercises in northern Corunda
After long talks with the governments of Sekowo and Kalkalistan, the Royal Assembly finallyratified the Ishinawa Cooperation Treaty Organization yesterday afternoon. "The treaty between Sekowo, Kalkalistan, and Mordusia establishes a joint task force of over 10,000 military personnel to serve as a quick reaction force. It also establishes a intergovernmental organisation the ICTO, tasked with enabling cooperation through the maintaining of relations between the three country's top military brass." The two major components to the organisation are the Ishinawa Cooperation Council and the Military Committee. The creation of the new treaty comes after the conflict in Likatonia where Sekowo and Mordusia both worked together to liberate the nation from the extremist socialist government. The Royal Minister of International Affairs, Anita Reyes is expected to travel to both Sekowo and Kalkalistan to meet with their respective leaders and solidify relations with both nations. The King of Mordusia is apparently going to invite the Sekowan Emperor to Alcaria, according to royal press sources.
With the signing of the new treaty, the Royal Armed Forces of Mordusia have begun massive nationalexercises throughout the country. The Royal Ground forces began training in the northern province of Corunda where some of the terrain is desert like considering its proximity to Aldegar. Troops from the Royal Ground Forces underwent cardio drills, shooting/target exercises, and offensive strategy overview.All infantry vehicles, tanks, and troops equipment that was used in the Likatonian conflict were evaluated by the Royal Ministry of Defense (RMD) after the end of the conflict. Any equipment or vehicle that did not meet the RMD's quality standards were sent to various different weapons contractors for improved models or entirely new models. Although most vehicles were successful, especially vehicles made by Grupo Ortega, there were few transport vehicles that needed to be improved. The Royal Navy took practice and and maritime exercises off the shores of the port city of Villalva.
The Royal Navy held their usual target target practice with decommissioned ships from the Royal Navy. Similar to the process by the Royal Ground Forces, any equipment or weapon that do meet the RMD's quality standards were sent to be repaired or completely rebuilt. Most frigates under the second and third fleets were sent back to repair. The RMD has spoken with certain deputies in the Royal Assembly for increased funding for the RMD. The RMD's spending for 2023 is apparently going to be raised for a new class of frigates. According to the RMD, the Royal Navy's current frigates are not meeting up to expectation and are due to be recommissioned. The increased spending for 2023 will be used to create new frigates for the second and third fleets. It is unknown when or where the new frigates will be prepared. The Royal Air Force saw little to no problems. The Royal Air Force trained in southern Corunda. Most of the exercises involved reconnaissance maneuvers, cargo protection, and overall target practice. The Royal Air Force's numbers are expected to increase after all aircraft projects internationally are complete. The Royal Armed Forces are expected to gradually increase by over 45,000 after the expected upgrades are installed and after this year's recruitment throughout the nation. The military's modernization of vehicles, weapons, and troop improvement will serve well once operations and exercises with ICTO begins.

-Defense Spending Increased, New Frigates ordered by RMD-
17th March, 2023 Villalva, Taleria, Mordusia
By: Francisca FabregasBlueprint of new ordered frigates (top) Noriega Defense Logo (bottom)
After the conflict in Likatonia and last month's military wide exercises, the Royal Assembly approved and passed 2023's spending budget which includes a 15% increase on the defense of the nation. The Royal Ministry of Defense ordered 10 new frigates to add to the Royal Navy after several of the current frigates did not meet the ministry's performance expectations. The new frigates now classified as the "Vertiz-Class"will be built by Mordusia's state owned shipbuilding corporation Noriega in the city of Villalva. The new frigates will cost between 920 million and 1.1 billion MDN. The new Vertiz-Class frigates are expected to be5,800-6,391 tonnes of displacement, over 146.7 meters long, and will have a full speed of 28.5 knots. The ship will be equipped with technology and radars by Volaris Communications.The Vertiz-class frigates are the first modern vessels of the Mordusian Royal Navy to incorporate ballistic resistant steel in the hull, along with the power plants being mounted on anti-vibration mounts to reduce noise and make them less detectable by submarines. The frigates will begin construction in two weeks in the city of Villalva and in the city of Artelona. Completion of all ten frigates is estimated to take 4 to 6 years.

~Empresa Stela, Saipipulu Technology release Alias-1 Smartphone~
19th April 2023 Savelle,Talasor,Mordusia By: Luiz De La TorreImage of the Alias-1 Black Phone
Empresa Stela and Saipipulu Technology have been working for months to release the new Alias Generation phone proposed by Empresa Stela when they announced their expansion to Keymon. Stela's main goal when expanding to Keymon was to provide exceptional training, practice, and technology to Saipipulu Tech, however, as both firms began working on the new alias smartphone, Information systems and Keymon's technology sector began expanding and growing as the Mordusian firm shared its knowledge and expertise on developing technology. The new Alias-1 smartphone is the first model of the proposed 3 phones. The Alias-1 will be Saipipulu's main smart phone in the Keymonese markets. The Alias-1 will be sold in Mordusia, however, it will not be its main smartphone. The dimensions of the Alias-1 are 156.4 x 75.8 x 7.5 mm (6.16 x 2.98 x 0.30 in), it has a weight of 169 g (5.96 oz),it has front and back glass as well as an aluminum frame structure. The phone uses Empresa Stela's Infinity 4.1 operating system which was developed by Stela last month.The new phone has a resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels and a 19:9 ratio. The phone has a memory of 64 or 128 GB with a 4/6 GB RAM. The phones have connectivity to Keymonese internet providers and have the ability to make calls internationally.The Alias-1 phone was created in black, white, gray, red, and blue. The cost of the Alias-1 smartphone in Keymon is expected to be at around 670 to 800 KEP while in Mordusia, the phone will be an estimated 550 to 720 MDN depending on the model. Empresa Stela's project leader in Keymon who directed the Alias project stated that with the completion of the new phone, Saipipulu Technology and its smaller corporate aid swill be able to create more electronic devices in the future without the aid of international companies like Stela. Saipipulu have gained knowledge from Stela to boost their tech sector whether it be creating a new smartphone or a new operating system, Keymon's tech sector has become perfectly capable of doing so.Stela have not announced any other plans with Keymon after the next 2 Alias generation phones are released within the next 4 to 5 years.

-Mordusia begins Likatonian reconstruction-
7th May 2023 Alcaria,Venegas,Mordusia By: Sandra Villareal
Mordusian Civil Engineers arriving in Likatonia
Months after the Mordusian and Sekowan intervention in Likatonia, the Mordusian Royal Assembly formally announced and revealed the nation's plan to rebuild Likatonia within the decade. The national plan was announced in the Royal Assembly yesterday by its main creator Jose Andrade Balverde. Balverde announced the structure of the reconstruction as well as the course of action Mordusia would take to successfully fund the large project. The reconstruction efforts created by Jose Andrade will be named the Balverde Project after himself. Balverde worked behind the scenes with the Royal Ministry of Finances,the Royal ministry of International Affairs and the Royal Ministry of Infrastructure and development to organize the route that each ministry will take in Likatonia. Before the conflict in Likatonia began,Likatonia had a crumbling infrastructure and the masses were unhappy because of the socialist government. Its markets were heavily damaged as a result of the socialist taxes enacted at the time and innovation was far from its grasp. Balverde's introduced plan would focus on opening up Likatonian markets to investments and innovation, repair the state of the country's banks, provide material and equipment to rebuild the country's inflicted infrastructure, and help reshape the new government that Mordusia and Sekowo helped bring to power. Most of the project's focus as stated by Balverde will focus on the reconstruction of the nation's infrastructure and the establishment of open markets available for heavy investments. Likatonia will be also be profiting from its recent involvement in the Three Mountain Agreement with other international powers including Mordusia. Likatonia's inclusion into the agreement while receiving Mordusian aid will boost the market and goods that Likatonia can/will provide. The Balverde project will introduce massive reconstruction efforts on the coasts of Likatonia where most ofthe heavy fighting commenced. The project will provide construction materials to help build up homes, city building, and medical centers for those severely inured bythe conflict. Basic human resources such as electricity, running water, medical services, and agricultural provisions will be provided during the firstyear of the project. Soon after basic needs are met, construction efforts will begin on the nation's highways. Although the highways were notdamaged much during the conflict they will be repaired along with major roads, government buildings, and large residential apartments. Reconstructing Likatonia's homes, services, and transportation services will take up most of the projected time that the project is expected to last. While construction firms and individuals work to internally repair Likatonia, Mordusian banks and financial experts will be helping open up Likatonia to investments from international corporations and trade. Mordusian Investment firms and banks will be working with the Likatonian economy to ensure that Likatonian citizens and firms have equal access to the large Mordusian markets. Financial advisers from Mordusia will set up economic and technical courses for economists in Likatonia. These courses will heavily focus on developing Likatonia's financial and technical expertise which will allow the nation to create and fund different projects in the nation. The final budget in the Balverde Project is expected to reach sums between 120 and 150 billion Mordusian Denarios. More aid is expected to come from Sekowo however, that sum is still undetermined.
The Balverde Projects funds will come several sources including many of Mordusia's top banks, developmental humanitarian aid organizations, Mordusia's National Assistance Fund, and from loans provided by the Royal Ministry of Finances. Most of the funding will be put towards the development of affected communities and the development of agriculture in the nation. Of course, the conflict has had major implications on Likatonia's infrastructure and human services, but most importantly thegovernment of Likatonia underwent with bigger changes. Likatonia's government, now replaced by the conflict, will undergo changes similar to that of Mordusia.The Likatonians, according to the speaker of the Mordusian Royal Assembly, will obviously still remain free under the new monarch and will still have national elections. The new Likatonian government officials will receive advice and governing tips from past and current members of the Royal Assembly to ensure that the Likatonia remains stable during a very difficult transition state. The Balverde Project, now approved by the Royal Assembly, is underway.Materials, funds, and volunteers are now being gathered in Mordusia for the commencement of the first phase of the project. The reconstruction in Likatonia will open doors to future investment, an increased quality of life,and overall a successful nation.

~National Transportation Initiative Complete~
7th June 2023 Artelona,Venegas,Mordusia By: Amanda CisnerosAlcaria Aurora Airport's new terminal No.5
After four years of modernization, construction, and planning the Royal Ministry of Infrastructure and Development formally announced that the National Transportation Initiative is now complete. All of Mordusia's transportation services have been completely modernized and renovated.The Initiative began in 2019 when Royal Assembly announced that it had passed funding to completely overhaul and modernize the nation's transportation services. The project called "The National Transportation Initiative"aimed to restore the nation's highways, roads, train lines, and airports to improve travel in and out of the nation as of today, the project is a complete success. The first stage of the project called for the modernization and repair of the nation's roads and highways.Over 675 roads and streets throughout the country were modernized with new streetlights, road guides,and new pavement. The initiative's main focus was to greatly expand the nation's J7 Highway. The J7 Highway is Mordusia's longest, oldest, and most transited highway. The highway stretches from the cit yof Villalva to Alcaria, to the city of Artelona, and to Merida. The J7 highway received most of the funds approved by the Royal Assembly. Roads in the nation's most populated cities have been revamped and are expected to accommodate more drivers than before.
The second stage of the initiative focused on the nation's train network system. All of Mordusia's train lines begin in Alcaria and disperse into other cities. Each train line is designed to stop at small towns and cities, travel to the nearest metropolitan area, and then end its course in Alcaria. Alcaria's National Center Station in the city's business district was remodeled with funds from the initiative program and added four extra terminals. One going to Saridan, one going to Aldegar, and two going to Rildanor. All major stations in Mordusia have been remodeled and train track maintenance is complete. All train lines are working and are in service. Alcaria's main train station sees up to200,000 people daily. It is expected to continue growing as more countries are setting up train lines to Mordusia. The third and final stage of the National Transportation Initiative was the modernization and expansion of Mordusia's top four airports. Aeropuerto Nacional Aurora de Alcaria ,Aeropuerto Del Mar de Villalva, Aeropuerto Nacional de Artelona, and Aeropuerto Villareal de Merida were the four airports that: needed to be remodeled and that were chosen to receive major expansions. In Alcaria, Aeropuerto Nacional Aurora (AAA) received a 3 3 terminal expansion. The old airport originally had 2 terminals, with the completion of the NTI, the airport now has 5 terminals to accommodate all travelers to what is now Seleya's largest and busiest airport.
The Royal Assembly and the Royal Ministry of Infrastructure and Development have labeled the National Transportation Initiative as a complete success. The initiative will significantly make travel throughout Mordusia more easy and more comfortable. The National Infrastructure Initiative has opened southern Seleya and the world to Mordusia through modernized train systems and world renown airports. The King himself praised the effort by all workers and civil engineers that worked to make the initiative a success. He specifically thanked them for "making Mordusia accessible to our neighbors and those from throughout the world."

-Royalist Party sweeps 2023 National elections-
18th,June, 2023 Alcaria, Venegas, Mordusia By: Anita Reyes 2019 Election Result Map
National Elections for control of the Royal Assembly were held today throughout the nation. Over 75.6 millionnMordusians left their homes, jobs to go vote. All 113 seats of the Royal Assembly were contested. All parties who participated in the last national election were present once again to see which party would control the Royal Assembly, however nobody was surprised with the expected results of the night.
Party | Votes | Vote change | Seats | Seat change | Partido Monárquico | 67.25% | +26.5% | 76 | +30 | Partido Nacional | 12.38% | -14.2% | 14 | -16 | Movimiento Socialista | 6.19% | -13.21% | 7 | -15 | Partido de los Ciudadanos | 11.5% | -1.7% | 13 | -2 | Planeta Verde | 2.65% | +2.64% | 3 | +3 | Other | 0.1% | +/-0 | 0 | +/-0 | TOTAL | 100.0% | N/A | 113 | N/A | Turnout | 46.6% | -11% |
|
|
The Royalist Party won the majority of the seats during the National Elections. The Royalist Party has successfully managed to acquire a two-thirds majority in the Royal Assembly, their powers in the national legislature can go unhinged. Treaties, budget proposals, and tax laws can pass through the Assembly easily. The National Party suffered the worst losses according to our election services. The conservative National Party lost most of its vote in the Venegas, Corunda, and Taleria royal provinces.The Socialist Movement lost most of its seats too. After the Mordusian conflict in Likatonia, most Mordusians lost support of the then popular Socialist Movement. Political analysts in Alcaria are unsure whether the Socialist Movement ever will recover from this 2023 blow. Planeta Verde, the only ecological party in Mordusia gained three seats after its heavy losses in 2019. The Citizens Party, the Royalist Party's coalition partner also lost lots of seats. They are expected to join the Royalist Party in a new centrist coalition. The Royal Assembly is set to vote on a new Speaker of the Assembly next month.

-President of Rildanor hosts Mordusian Royal Family in Labonne-
19th June 2023 Alcaria,Venegas,Mordusia By: Sandra Villareal
President of Rildanor and his wife (left) with King Alonso and Queen Alicia (right) Today, the Royal Family of Mordusia, King Alonso III, Queen Alicia and Prince Carlos Erias traveled to Labonne, the capital of Rildanor to meet with President Vechamel in a highly anticipated official state visit. The Royal Minister of International Affairs Jorge Arias stated that the Royal Assembly received a letter of friendship, cooperation, and defense from Rildanor just days after the conflict in Likatonia ended. The Crown representative to the Royal Family, Berenice Joyas, stated that the King received a special letter from President Vechamel days before the Royal Assembly received anything. The letter was an official invitation to a state visit to Rildanor. President Vechamel invited the Royal Family to the Presidential Residency in Labonne. The Mordusian Royal Family departed from Aeropuerto Alcaria, a small local airport early in the morning and arrived in Labonne four hours later. The King, his wife, and the heir were transported to the Presidential Residence where they met up with President Vechamel and his wife. Both couples greeted each other, stood for pictures, and went into the building to speak.According to the Crown Representative, the King and President Vechamel spoke about solidifying Mordusia and Rildanor's relations as well as the development of both their nations economically and militarily. The King and the President spoke for hours with Rildanor's Cabinet of Ministers before they prepared themselves for a state banquet hosted by the president.The opening parts of the banquet was televised live on Rildanorian television. The Royal Minister of Defense, who did attend the banquet, revealed that The Mordusian Royal Armed Forces and the Rildanorian Military are "exchanging technology and producing new equipment for the use and advancement of both nations in the future". It is unknown to what extent Rildanor and Mordusia will cooperate and the capabilities of both nation, however, it is clear that these two countries are the main forces in Seleya and are looking to bring success and prosperity to the entire continent.

-Opinion: Is the world on the brink of a cold war?- August 11th, 2023 By: Rita Durcal, With: Javier Cristobal Savelle,Talasor,Mordusia
Rita Durcal and Javier Cristobal at Radio Studio RNE
Yesterday, Rita Durcal, a correspondent to Opinion Estelar spoke with a professor from one of Mordusia's most prestigious University during the radio station's "International Week". According to spokespersons from the Radio Station based in Savelle,"International Week" is a week of talk shows, music,interviews,and podcasts dedicated to all sorts of international movements,issues, and hot topics. Opinion Estelar was able to obtain a transcript from yesterday's interview that related to the mounting international tensions and freezing relations on the Seleyan continent and elsewhere in the world.
Rita: "Good Morning Savelle, I'm your host Rita Durcal. It's a beautiful Thursday here in Savelle. Temps are in the mid to upper seventies and we are continuing our International Week here in the studio with many more invited guests.Today, Estudio Rolla Norte has invited Professor Javier Cristobal from the prestigious Alcaria Royal University to speak with us on what his been, in my opinion, one of the most crucial moments in our nation's history since the revolutions of 1938. I think that...what...we're seeing today is a show and a grasp of power...from many nations in the world, including our own. Tensions in the world as so high, I mean, just imagine...what could've happened if Trigunia or even Kalistan decided to send troops to Likatonia? This is why it's so crucial. It seems to me like... the world is just on the verge of another conflict that could be a powder keg that initiates a much bigger conflict. Now that's just me. Today, we've invited Javier Cristobal a Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at Alcaria's Royal University of Liberal Arts to speak with us on this topic of the future of global conflicts, Good Morning Professor. Prof. C: Thank you Rita and thank you for having me today. Rita: Of course. Now professor, I want to start of with an outlook of how things are currently. I know for a fact that our military projects in Likatonia have ceased for a while already ,however I'm not entirely sure...of any other conflicts out there. Could you summarize what's going on at the moment? Prof.C: Of course. Our military has ended all operations worldwide. now that does not mean that their presence is gone, it just means that we are not fighting any other country or group at the moment. However, during my trip to one of the Royal Assembly's press days, I found out that the RMD is apparently getting ready to send aid and possibly even troops to Cildania. Rita: Whoa whoa, Cildania? Aren't they a mess right now? Prof.C: Well yes, they are. According to most of their media outlets, the country is about ready to begin a civil war. Rita: Do you think Alcaria will get involved? Prof.C: Unfortunately, I do. I think Alcaria's drive to protect monarchism throughout the world will push them to that point. Rita: Unfortunately? Could you elaborate on why you think it's unfortunate? Prof.C: Of course I can. Tell me Rita, what do you think will happen when multiple nations involved themselves in a civil war to enhance their ideological values? You're going to get an even bigger conflict. I think that when a Cildanian civil war erupts, it will be the powder keg that sparks a war, not necessarily an actual war, but I see it more along the lines of a cold war. Rita: That is an interesting take. We'll discuss it more in depth after a quick break.
Rita: Welcome back everyone to international week on Radio Studio RNE, I'm here with Professor Javier Cristobal from Alcaria Royal University for those who are just joining in. Before we went on break, Professor Cristobal explained how he thought the upcoming Cildanain civil war could be the spark that engulfs the world in a cold war. Could you explain this a bit further professor? Prof.C: Certainly. Now, before we push the motion that the world is heading into a civil war, you have to look at the circumstances around it. I see a cold war developing between a few countries, one being our own. I think we're looking at an ideological cold war with ties to increasing influence and power worldwide. For example, just look at what our country did... We invaded Likatonia to save it from its socialist government. We were met with instant criticism from Trigunia then Kalistan. The similarities between these two nations are obvious, it's their form of government, both socialist. I think it's clear that we're seeing a clear period of tension between liberal and socialist nations and we know that both Trigunia and Kalistan have been very close to involving themselves in worldwide conflicts such as Likatonia. This tension that was seen during the Likatonian conflict is still visible now. Rita: How So? Prof.C: Well, I think you have to look at the aftermath of the conflict. After the conflict ended, Kalistan and Trigunia have pushed the notion that Mordusia is an imperialist nation. Now, I see where they are heading with this from an analyst's point of view, but I don't think Mordusia did it to "gain land" or "set up a puppet government", but instead to project it's power on the continent. That may not be the case either of course, Alcaria already stated it was to protect monarchism, which is partly true. Mordusia began reconstruction efforts not long ago, yet a few days later Kalistan announced that they will be giving them aid as well. It's a confusing move. Mordusia began the conflict, therefore, we should be the one's helping to fix the broken nation. Why did Kalistan jump in as well? It could be an attempt for a power grab or they were just being generous. This move, whatever the reasoning is behind it, raises the tensions between both nations through a form of regional influence competition. Rita: What exactly do you mean by regional influence competition? Is that the reason why Mordusia jumped into Likatonia in the first place? Prof.C: Regional influence or even political influence is what's going to start this cold war if it hasn't already. For as long as we've seen, we know for a fact that Trigunia, Mordusia, and even possibly Kalistan will go to great extents to protect the political influence they have on several parts of the world. This is why I think the Cildanian civil war is so crucial. The aforementioned nations will most likely involve themselves in this war. Imagine the scale of this war when global powers begin to battle it out in the name of Cildnanian factions? Even if a global conflict doesn't emerge you can bet that the nations involved in the world will have frozen relations and I mean, some already do. This will only result in a cold war, one that I fear will take a deep impact on many nations. Rita: Of course, I completely agree with you. We're going to take another break before we begin our next section. Stay tuned.
Rita: Welcome back once again everyone to international week on Radio Studio RNE, I'm with Professor Javier Cristobal from Alcaria Royal University for those who are just joining in. Before we went on break, the professor and I spoke about the upcoming Cildanain civil war could be the spark that engulfs the world in a cold war. Now professor, I think I've already seen some of the effects of the tension between the nations you mentioned. Last year, I went to Kalistan myself to visit some friends and I can tell you that the Kalistani people don't like the Mordusians over there. There were several times were I was almost treated like a villain and it really shouldn't be that way for either nations. I've been to Kalistan a couple of times, and this is the very first time I felt horrible there. The Kalistanis are very nice people, I've seen it countless times before, but last month that was not the case. Are these the effects of an incoming hate between both nations or was I unjustly discriminated? Prof.C: This is a clear example of the frozen relations between Mordusia and Kalistan. I know this because you described that you've gone there many times before and I have also too and I agree, the Kalistanis are good people. If this level of tension continues between both nations, all that will be left between the nations will be hate. Unfortunately, I think this level of hate will be extended unless the nations have a policy change, some sort of diplomatic mission, or just get over the actions that either nation takes. Yet, from what we've seen from both nations, that will never happen as long as both nations continue their internationalist approaches to world affairs. Rita: Makes perfect sense to me although, what will happen if nations other than Mordusia began having these "frozen relations" within the scopes of regional influence? Prof.C: Nations willing to do anything to have some sort of regional influence will only engulf themselves in petty 'tit-for-tat' situation with the another nation. In my honest opinion, it is nothing diplomatic to engage in these tit-for-tats. I see it as "picking out a fight you will not engage in". You know, we see a perfect example of that today with Keymon and Kalistan. These two nations are worsening their relations, essentially making them frozen with their "alternative radio reports" . Keymon, to my knowledge, is destroying its position with Kalistan with their free radio reports. Do I know if they're real or not? No. But regardless if they are propaganda or not, that is not the way to confront a nation that you disagree with, I'd say the same thing about Kalistan. I see no alternative to either of their free radio stations, to me it looks like a free platform where Kalistan and Keymon can constantly ruin their relations through false segments. This is the kind of behavior that causes cold wars. Nations are quick to engage in tit-for-tats but do not have the will to act upon them. I really hope nothing happens between the two nations, considering that any action taken by Kalistan could cause trouble between Luthori's commonwealth and the socialist nation. Rita: Yes, I agree. I've been hearing some of these transmissions by Keymon and Kalistan for the past couple of days and I will tell you that it does get tense when I listen to the stations. I usually tune in for some good music, but I come out dissatisfied and I see now how it's tied to frozen relations and an upcoming cold war. We're going to go on our last break of the day before we end today's international week discussion, stay tuned
Rita: Welcome back once again everyone to international week on Radio Studio RNE, I'm joined with Professor Javier Cristobal from Alcaria Royal University for those who are just joining in at the end of our interview discussion. Before our break, we spoke about how regional influence and diplomatic tensions cause hate and trouble for nations with differences. To end off our discussion, I'm asking you Professor, is there anyway a cold war can be prevented and what can nations do to set their differences apart? Prof.C: Well to be honest here, this is the most difficult question of this entire interview because it's very difficult to just repair relations after everything that has happened between certain nations. I'd keep my eyes open for this Cildania Civil War. The factor that will decide the next ten to twenty years will happen in Cildania. In my opinion, the only way this can be prevented is if the nations approach different foreign policies. I'm not saying that they should become isolated from the world, but rather change the way they handle internationalism and world affairs. I think changing the approach to internationalism could avoid a cold war but also help certain nations who are not as prominent as they could be. But again, I have my doubts because I know for a fact certain nations can't simply give up their ways of handling world affairs. Internationalism can be both helpful but also poisonous. You can see it now, Internationalism has helped nations gain economic ties and a better foothold on world affairs, but it has also dragged the world into a position where a cold war is imminent. Rita: That statement, Professor, is certainly important. Internationalism can be an aid but can also be the downfall of world peace. Before we go, I just want to ask you. If we are in fact heading to a cold war, what would you recommend to the nations who are likely to be involved. Prof.C: Well, as unbiased as I can be, I recommend that all nations take a step back, reflect, and understand the severity and future consequences of their actions, including our country. I understand how important regional influence is to many nations, but will it pay off in the future? Is it necessary to begin petty arguments and everlasting hate simply because you don't agree with them? No. We are setting ourselves up for a large scale global war if all this continues. If nations don't have the guts to involve themselves in a global war, how do they have the guts to deprecate themselves now? Things must change before conflict divides this world beyond repair. Rita: Precisely. Thank you Professor Cristobal for joining us today on Thursday's edition of International Week on Estudio Rolla Norte. Prof.C: Thanks to you as well, pleasure to have been here. Rita: I am your host Rita Durcal, good day Savelle!

~Mordusian "Big Three" open new IT offices in Artelona~
19th April 2024 Artelona,Venegas,Mordusia By: Belinda FumigarImage of new Trinity Complex in Artelona Harbor
Last year, Mordusia's largest tech firms known as "The Big Three" announced a country wide expansion to develop and modernize Mordusia's Information Technology services. Volaris Communications, Empresa Stela, and Futura Enterprise stated that they would be co-developing 2 separate online operating systems for local businesses and for the largest corporations in Mordusia including several different banking firms such as Villar Y Zepeda and Banco Coruma. Volaris Communications is currently leading the project at their international headquarters in Artelona. Along with the creation of new operating systems for vital sectors of the nation's economy, the big three stated that a new building would be constructed in Artelona to accommodate all of the workers working on the VESF Project. Before the VESF Project was formally announced in Mordusian press, construction was underway in Artelona on a multi-building project intended to be the main work space for the Big Three on their VESF Project. The set of interconnected buildings in Artelona known as "The Trinity Complex" was completed last month after the final set of designer finalized the interior of the buildings. The new buildings were designed to hold offices for Empresa Stela, Volaris Communications, and Futura Enterprises in three separate designated buildings. The center building was designed to hold large company wide meetings, VESF public announcement press conferences, and general work space for the project. The Big Three held its first press conference in the new building complex. The representatives for all three companies presented the latest news on the Scorpio-1 and Frasco-2 operating systems. Both projects are set to be completed next month. The big three have stated that their national headquarters will be relocated to the Trinity Complex and that their international headquarters will remain in their current buildings throughout the country.

-Mordusian Prince engaged to Rildanorian Royalist-
18th April, 2024 Alcaria, Venegas, Mordusia By: Fernanda ColungaPicture of Prince Carlos Erias and his fiance Eleanore
Celebrations, parties, and festivals fired up throughout Mordusia today after the Crown Representative to the royal family announced that the heir to the throne of Mordusia, the Prince of Caldera, Carlos Erias is engaged to a Rildanorian royalist from the country's old, deposed royal dynasty. Prince Carlos, according to the Crown Representative, is engaged to Eleanore Riviere de Beaubon. The Beaubon family in Rildanor was one of many royal families that existed back then before Rildanor became a republic over 300 years ago. Eleanore's brother, Henri IV, has the claim to the historic Rildanorian throne under their family's royal name. Prince Carlos and Princess du Sang Eleanore are set to be married next year at the Iglesia de Santa Brigida in Alcaria. The Beaubon Family and the Ibarra-Cascabel family will both be in attendance to see both houses unite in an attempt to culturally unite both neighboring nations. After their marriage, the next heir to the throne of Mordusia and any other children within the main line of the throne will carry the surname Ibarra-Cascabel-Beaubon. Family members not in the line of the throne will not carry the surname as the main line. According to sources, Prince Carlos Erias and Princess Eleanore met during the Mordusian Royal Family's state visit to Rildanor last year. Before visiting President Vechamel at the Presidential Residency, the Royal Family traveled to a Beaubon residency in the outskirts of the capital Labonne to meetwith the still popular family. The Beaubon Family, is considered in Rildanor more of a historical and cultural family than one of power. However, according to an net worth estimator, the Beaubon family is estimated to be worth over 15.6 billion MDN. Combined with the estimated 95 billion MDN from the Ibarra-Cascabel's, the future net worth of the Royal Family will range from 98 million to 113 billion MDN, surely enough money to fund their wedding. Invitations to the Royal wedding are expected to be sent to various world leaders in the coming weeks. LA NACIONAL is Mordusia's Top News Provider, est. 1916

Pura Vida Tea, a division of Bebidas Anvesco, announced that the company will be opening 10 small tea shops and brewing cafes throughout Kalistan starting in June. Pura Vida Tea was createda nd introduced in Mordusia two years ago. The company, a part of the larger corporation Bebidas Anvesco, became an instant success in Mordusia and its neighbors in south Seleya. Rildanor, Saridan, and Kanjor were part of the primary expansion by Pura Vida Tea which was only regional based. Proving to be a mass success in the south, the company has decided to move to the north part of the continent. Pura Vida Tea stated that the company provided a great alternative to other sugary and harmful drinks in the markets.The company, knowing that no other country has the extensive variety of tea and drinks like Mordusia, decided to begin an international expansion starting with exporting different types of teas to the selected nations by the company. Pura Vida is opening 10 small stores in Kalistan as the first part of its international expansion. Each store will sell all of Pura Vida's tea blends however, an extended supply of chai, earl gray, and licorice tea will be provided as it is Kalistan's top favorites. Pura Vida Tea CEO, Marco Cortez, stated" Our expansion to Kalistan is exclusive. We expect that all our our expanding stores will provide hundreds of jobs for the Kalistani's. We are of course complying with Kalistan's 51-49 company profit laws. We just want to expand our business. We know our government's don't see eye to eye, but that's not stopping us." Tea stores will begin construction next month and tea exports have already begun to Kalistan's most popular food/goods stores.

The National Special Service police, the Mordusian police branch created for high importance events and visitors, have been dispatched to the Mordernex Skyscrapers and to various large streets surrounding the government complex. Not only will the special police be protecting the exterior of the complex, but they will also be dispatched to the inside of the complex providing close knit security within the building. Prince Carlos Erias, representing Mordusia at the summit, will have the personal security of the Royal Interior Guard, a elite set of troops sworn in to protect the Royal Family. Although, Prince Carlos Erias has personally assigned several troops of the Royal Guard to stay with the representatives from the nations present at the summit. The Royal guard will ensure all government officials are safe and protected from any danger that is present. The Alcarian Police is on high alert all throughout the city especially near the government complex as the negotiations are set to begin.

The Royal Assembly, with approval by the King himself, approved a 1.1 billion MDN package for the Kingdom of Qendaria in their efforts to defeat the Punicar State in their national civil war in Cildania. The aid package, according to the Royal Assembly, was created to ensure that the Kingdom of Qendaria had the sufficient assets to fund their armed forces and well supply all of their troops. The funds will be enough to fund the Kingdom of Qendaria for nine months. The Royal Assembly did not state whether Mordusia will fund the Kingdom after 9 months.Not only will the Royal Assembly send a large aid package, but the Royal Ministry of Defense also approved for 23 military advisers to travel to Qendaria to help train and guide the Kingdom's troops during the war. Along with the equipment and money sent by Mordusia, the Kingdom's fores will be well prepped to fight any troop they encounter. While most of the package is focused on the mainland, the Royal Ministry of Defense has also sent the 2nd and 3rd Mordusian Royal Fleets to protect Qendaria's shipping routes and to aid the Qendarian troops near the Cildanian coasts. The RMD has not stated of any other intervention however, the Mordusian Special Forces and the Royal Ground Forces are on stand by.

-Insight Analysis: How Powerful are the Mordusian Royals?-
By: Veronica Mar, With: Prince Carlos Erias & Princess Eleanore de Beaubon Alcaria,Venegas,Mordusia
Prince Carlos Erias de Ibarra-Cascabel & Princess Eleanore de Beaubon at NF Studios
Last week, Nuevo Futuro Studios Mordusia's most popular and most watched television station, assigned reporter and political analyst Veronica Mar was tasked to interview the heir to the Mordusian throne Prince Carlos Erias and his fiance the future Queen Consort Eleanore de Beaubon. For over 60 years, Nuevo Futuro Studios has interviewed the Mordusian royals for an insight of how the royal family functions, what their future plans are, and traditionally addressing royal rumors that are circling the nation. this year, the future king and queen were transported to Alcaria's filming district to participate in the interview. The interview lasted for over an hour and will be televised on Mordusian television.The transcript of the interview was given to Opinion Estelar for publication in the nation's newspaper. The transcript of the interview can be found below:
Veronica: Good Evening to everyone who is joining us tonight on Nuevo Futuro. this evening I have the distinct honor and pleasure to continue our studio's tradition and interview his majesty, Prince Carlos Erias and his beautiful fiance Princess Eleanore. Welcome, your highness. Carlos: Thank you so much Senora Mar, pleasure to be here continuing this tradition that my grandfather began multiple decades ago. Veronica: Of course it is always a pleasure having the royal family in the studios. We know the royal family always has a really busy and concentrated schedule throughout the course of the year, especially now that the international stage in extremely active, however, our focus today is on the royal family. First of all, congratulations to both of you! I know news of your proposal was announced about a month ago, but could you tell us how it all went down for both of you? Carlos: Ha ha, well for me it all started back when my father, mother, and I went to Rildanor to visit President Vechamel and his wife. The visit was really nice. I know for a fact I felt welcomed in Labonne and so did my parents. As we landed in Labonne, my father told me that we were not going to see the president first. He told me that we were going to see some old friends. As confused as I was, we ended up going to the Beaubon residency just outside of Labonne. Now, I knew who the Beaubons were, but I did not expect to meet them. When we went inside the large residency, that's when I saw Eleanore. And it was in fact, love at first sight. Eleanore: Oh stop. Carlos: It was! Eleanore: We kept seeing each other so many times after they came to Labonne. He proposed to me at a beach in western Mordusia. We didn't announce it until weeks later. We didn't want to cause a large reaction. Veronica: Oh but you did of course! For a fact, Mordusia and Rildanor were in a wild frenzy. I have to ask, do both of you realize the level of power this will cause for Mordusia and Rildanor. Eleanore: You know, at first I didn't think this was a big deal. I wanted to pretend that it was a regular royal marriage, but after speaking with my brother, I realized how huge this is. My ancestors centuries ago were removed from power brutally and we are the survivors of the royal house dating back to the 1st century. Our house is slowly growing again, but now that we are becoming a part of the most powerful royal family in Seleya, it definitely changes the scope of power. Carlos: It certainly expands the scope of our power. You know, we never had the intention to marry with a prestigious Rildanorian family. It was never my plan, it was never my father's plan, and it has never been our plan. We understand that our monarchy is extremely powerful in our nation, but to expand that power to a nation of a different form of government? No, it is disrespectful and we understand the boundaries and limits of our power. You know it was pure chance the the most prestigious family in Rildanor is going to be partially unified with the strongest family in all of Seleya. Our marriage certainly unifies our countries culturally, but there is no "inside" initiative to take over our neighbor ally. Veronica: How does this impact the Beaubon's popularity in Rildanor? Eleanore: Well, my family has been laying low for most of the past two centuries. Since being removed in 1794, the Beaubons have been laying low, staying away from the public eye. Since I can remember, the Rildanorian people do not despise us, but they do not think we should hold power. the republic has done a terrific job bringing the country forward, but now that we've surfaced back to publicity, it almost seems that the people are more interested in the Beaubons especially here in Mordusia. Veronica: You are right. I know the Beaubons even the Royal Family are the hot topic today. It's been a long time since the last royal marriage of this scale and I think the people are excited and wondering what the future holds. That will take us to our first commercial break, stay tuned for our next segment.
Veronica: We are back at Nuevo Futuro, I'm Veronica Mar and I'm joined with Prince Carlos Erias de Ibarra-Cascabel and with Princess du Sang Eleanore de Beaubon. Before our break we spoke about the impact that your marriage has on Mordusia and Rildanor and the royal influence that the royal unification will have on both of your nations. Now, we understand that the day will come where Prince Carlos Erias will take the Mordusian throne. Now Mordusia is an interesting nation where most executive power falls upon the monarch. We know for a fact that many of the Royal Assembly's laws and proposals come from the opinion of the people and are sent to the king. Once the king receives the people's opinion, the King relies on the deputies of the Royal Assembly to act upon the voice of the people. It is quite confusing, but it does guarantee legislative and executive power on the monarch. Could you explain this further your majesty? Carlos: Yes, I've had my father explain this to me, but it's quite simple. The monarch, in this case my father, meets various of the nation's deputies in the Royal Assembly. When the monarch meets with them, he tries to understand the opinions of the people that the deputy represents. After learning about the needs of the people through the deputy, he begins to craft different ideas and proposals on his part that he can propose to the Royal Assembly. The Royal Assembly can reject his proposal or make a law about it. The Royal Assembly makes laws too, that's their job, but the monarch may also suggest and propose laws and ideas giving him a foothold in the legislative chamber. Veronica: So the monarch has the ability to reject and accept the proposals made by the Royal Assembly. Carlos: Yes. Veronica: but also recommend his own? Carlos: Yes, although the ideas and proposals he suggests are always from the people's opinions. The monarch has a direct voice in the Royal Assembly and usually the Assembly agrees with most proposals made by the King. Veronica: I see, now we have not seen a lot of movement from you in the past year. Your responsibility will soon be to the people of Mordusia. How will you use your executive powers to be the voice of the people? Carlos: Well, my plans once taking the throne is simple but more complex than my father's. The one thing we cannot tolerate in our government is corruption. We pay our deputies a set salary and we have term limits on every seat. We do not allow any extra money to be given to them while in office. We give them a more than acceptable living wage, but we cannot let them surpass numbers that are quite unfair. They are representing different people with different backgrounds and incomes, they should be paid reasonably without feeling "above" the people. Veronica: How powerful is your executive privilege when it comes to affairs that involve our nation's armed forces? Carlos: the monarch commands the armed forces. Although we rely on our militant advisers when it comes to specific conflicts or minor battles, but with a royal decree, I can send the Mordusian Royal Forces to any country in this world. The monarch has the ability declare wars and to end the nation's wars regardless of who started them and how they started. To simply put this in summary, the monarch controls all of the armed forces without support from the Royal Assembly. Veronica: How can we trust the monarch not to send Mordusia in a petty war? Carlos: Well, within the royal family, we understand that war we cannot simply jump in to any war. We try to limit the use of the armed forces in the world, unless of course our interests are hurt. Veronica: Of course. Now is there any way that the royals have control over the markets? Carlos: no, absolutely not. We call for more progressive taxes each year in the nation. We also recommend our budget spending, however we leave the markets completely alone and leave any government market issues to the Royal Assembly. We do have the power to call for emergency funds whenever it is necessary, but that is mostly it. We leave the markets do its job and it works. Veronica:Yes indeed. That will take us to our second commercial break stay tuned for our next segment.
Veronica:We are back at Nuevo Futuro, I'm Veronica Mar and I'm joined with Prince Carlos Erias de Ibarra-Cascabel and with Princess du Sang Eleanore de Beaubon. Before our break we spoke about the powers of the monarch in all parts of the Mordusian government. Now, that we have discussed what the monarch can and cannot do, what are both if your goals for when you become the next King and Queen of Mordusia? Eleanore: My main focus will be to address any issue with the education of the nation's children and the education of children around the world. In our times, we see children taking their education for granted. They do not realize that many parts of the world do not receive the high quality education that they do. I will work with our nation's universities, sponsors, and corporation to improve and expand our education services to region and nations in need. Also, I want to give credit to the arts! Expanding museums, giving credit to local artists, and finding a place for modern, contemporary art is something that I would like to see expand especially in the National Museum of Bellas Artes. Veronica: So, it seems like most of your future moves seem very domestic no? Eleanore: Of course. I think there should be a focus on our needs and priorities before moving on to another nation. Veronica: Prince Carlos? What will be your first moves? Carlos: I think that there should be a bigger focus on our international views. You know, as my father grew up, he told me that my grandfather had no care for the world. My grandfather despised the world "international" and he clearly kept Mordusian out of anything. Where did that lead us? It felt as if we were in a different planet by ourselves. Once my father took over in 2019, he set a path for us that has only led to our growth and an increase of our nation's influence. However, this was not taken lightly by certain nations. Kalistan seems to having an internal seizure because our international growth to them is "imperialism". I don not know what alternate universe they are living in, but there is no imperialism in this world. I mean look at what they did. they expelled Iokua bank from their nation because they were being imperialistic? It is pure crazy child's play from their nation. They seem to think that any action from a country is an imperialistic attack against them. With that attitude, Kalistan will only go down the drain into failure, and in my eyes they already have. Veronica: What will you do if they go for Mordusian companies? Carlos: sigh, although I do not think this will happen during my reign, I think economic sanctions will have to be brought against them plain and simple. I do not wish for it to get to that point, but to me it really seems like they are asking for it. Veronica: I see. Now what else are you planning to accomplish. Carlos: Well, building a long lasting relationship with various nations seems to be my most important goal. We have seen how our free market allows us to become closer to many nations. I do wish that along with our expanding economies, we can expand our diplomatic relations. Perhaps, signing new treaties and commemorating the peace between our nations. I simply do not want to head into the ways of my grandfather and continue my father's legacy as an active member of the international community. Veronica: Of course, and I remember the late years of King Alonso II, your grandfather, and they were very dull. I remember how sometimes we could not even travel out if the nation. That's how bad it was under him, with all respect towards the late king, but since Alonso III took over we have in fact seen a technological, cultural, and social renaissance that has not only helped our economy but the nation as a whole especially in the international stage. Carlos: Of course, and I know when my father took the throne, I told him that things needed to change. change in a way that drastically improves the nation. He could only do this through the power given to him by the laws of the nation and through the actions of the Royal Assembly. Essentially, most of the monarch's power led to the revitalization of the nation. So speaking, the power of the royals has the ability to change the nation drastically. Veronica: That is in fact very scary, to know that the monarch has the ability to change this nation from X to Y in a matter of months, but it also comes to show the responsibility that the monarch faces day to day and how they carry the nation on their backs to ensure that the nations does not go into the wrong path. That will take us to our third commercial break stay tuned for our next segment. Veronica: We are back at Nuevo Futuro, I'm Veronica Mar and I'm joined with Prince Carlos Erias de Ibarra-Cascabel and with Princess du Sang Eleanore de Beaubon. Before our break, I spoke to the Prince and the Princess about their goals for the country once their time to assume the leadership of this country comes. Now I have to ask, could you briefly describe and talk about the economic power the Mordusian royal house has? Carlos: Well the House of Ibarra-Cascabel, my family, began when my grandfather Alonso Cascabel married my grandmother Victoria Ibarra. Before their marriage, the House of Cascabel ruled Mordusia. As far as I've been told, the sums of our family before the union marriage was at around 95 billion Denarios. Veronica: 65 billion?! Carlos: Yes, I mean what do you expect of a royal house that has ruled a single country for centuries? Not only that, but our years of mercantilism when we ruled the Mordusian Empire really made the family's worth skyrocket. Our funds haven't been used much as we take direct deposits from the surplus of the nation. Veronica: what about your grandmother's side? The Ibarras? Carlos: Well, they are actually one of Mordusia's oldest houses too, although we never really had much contact with them. Although when they married, My grandmother Victoria was the only heir under the House of Ibarra. Their house was nearing extinction, so when Julian Ibarra died, my grandmother's father, he left all of the family's value for my grandmother, which was an estimated 38 billion Denarios. So when my grandparents married, our wealth was merged and we became the 100 billion Denario royal family of Ibarra-Cascabel. Victoria: That is truly incredible Carlos: There is more money on my grandfather's side of the family however. Only 65 billion went to my father, there are at least 20 billion extra Denarios that went towards my aunts and uncles. That money, of course, will be an inheritance to my cousins who are in fact ready to marry. Veronica: That is an immense amount of money. And Princess Eleanore, what about your family and its value? Eleanore: Well, our family is one of the oldest ones in south Seleya of course. We had our own kingdom, but we were removed. Since our removal our family was worth over 24 billion Rildanorian crowns. Now, I'd estimate that we are worth over 20 billion. It is not much compared to the House of Ibarra-Cascabel, but it is a hefty amount. Veronica: So, when you guys get married, will your inheritance be joined with Carlos's money. Eleanore: Absolutely. We will combine our wealth and our kids will equally inherit the money when we are gone. Veronica: Wow. In that case, we are looking at the worth of your new house to be over 120 billion Denarios! Carlos: Yes. Eleanore: Yes. Veronica: That is a lot of money, indeed, for very important monarchs. Eleanore: Of course. We haven't even spoke about our residencies and all of our art collections that is included in that sum, however we will not speak abut it considering it will take a while to do it. Veronica: Of course, considering the residencies that I know the royal family already has, it is a lot of money. Now when you both have children, you have stated that they will carry the surname Ibarra-Cascabel-Beaubon. why did you guys decide to change the surname? Eleanore: Well, I wanted our marriage to be very symbolic. It already is symbolic as is, however the unification of both of our families is truly historic and will in fact bring future years of cooperation, friendship, and peace. Carlos: I am going to be honest, I just love the sound of the surname. It is lengthy, but the history and power behind it is just amazing. I could not be happier to have met Eleanore. Our marriage will only be great for both Mordusia and Rildanor. Veronica: Of course, I am happy that it will.That will take us to our final commercial break stay tuned for our next segment. Veronica: We are back at Nuevo Futuro, I'm Veronica Mar and I'm joined with Prince Carlos Erias de Ibarra-Cascabel and with Princess du Sang Eleanore de Beaubon. Before our break, I spoke to the Prince and the Princess about the worth of their families, the history behind them, and what that means for both nations going forward. Now our final segment, I think its finally time to address any rumors going around in both nations. Now to finally put them to rest, Prince Carlos, there is a rumor going around in Mordusia that you've had affairs with the nanny's at the Royal Palace is this correct? Carlos: Ha ha ha. Is this rumor really from Mordusia? Because it sounds like it was made in Kalistan. No, of course I don't have an affair with the nanny's. Veronica: We heard a rumor that your cousin David Andrade is meeting and dating a Keymonese rich woman. Is this true? Carlos: You know that might be true. He did tell me he was going to Keymon for vacation,but I did not know why. It might be true. We have to wait and see. Veronica: Of course. Now I have one for Princess Eleanore, from Rildanor, is it true that your brother wants to reclaim the throne and take over Rildanor ? Eleanore: Complete lie. We know how the people of Rildanor feel about the monarchy. As my country men say, long live the republic. Veronica: Well, that's all I have for you your highness. Thank you so much to both of you and I wish you all the best! Carlos and Eleanore: Of course. Thank you as well. Veronica: This was brought to you by Nuevo Futuro Studios.
