[center][b]Government of Samgolan Act 1906[/b][/center]
November 1st, the day that the Samgolan people were granted autonomy within the Republic of Deltora. Those loyal citizens of our most fair Republic, now rewarded their due with a new found independence granted through the passing of an Act within the confines of the People's Palace. The Government of Samgolan Act, put forth by Prime Minister Eduoard Geiger passed just narrowly in the face of opposition, many heralding the act as being the seed to spread dissent within the unified Republics. Eduoard countered stating that as a nation that heralds democracy and freedom within the known world, should it not also be present within itself too? No, the bills passing would in fact bring the nation's peoples together.

[i]"It can not be said that we are not fair, and kind to those who stand under our banner, it can not be said that we are like those who oppose us. Those such as the Survaek Empire, or the Sumayans in distant Sarelia, who threaten the extinction of those not of their own preset creed, such ideas remain even within our own allies. But we are not among them, if we are to lead into a new world of peace, we must surely be among the most accepting and kindred of nations. If we do not do that which we herald, we are for naught."[/i]

The Act itself, providing not independence but autonomy for the Samgolan people, set forth the following terms:
[b]-[/b] A bicameral Parliament for the Samgolan is to be established in Port Vail, with powers to deal with most national affairs such as health, education and agriculture. However international affairs such as matters involving the military, foreign affairs and diplomacy and taxes are to be concluded within the Deltoran Parliament at Evemont. 
[b]-[/b] Samgolan MPs are to be granted the ability to sit in Parliament.

[b][center]Zellonia, the cause of unrest in Kalpia? [/center][/b]
A joint investigation headed by Deltoran, Soroyan and Kalpian officials taking place in Mistburn, the capital of Kalpia in rooting out the cause of unrest spreading throughout Kalpian territory. Has traced the source to several newspaper printers within the city, the establishments were closed down immediately by the constabulary, found responsible for printing anti-Sociatatem, and false propaganda. Even more curiously, said establishments were found to have been funded by zellonian currency, Kalpia's old colonial rival. 

In light of the recent findings, a telegraph from the Head of State's office to the Zellonia government, requesting that a meeting be held to discuss politics between Prime Minister Geiger himself and whomever the Zellonians saw fit to answer in either Evemont or Evanston, has been dispatched.

In response to Notles own speech, Eduoard Geiger, Prime Minister of Deltora rallied to his support with a speech of his own. 
[i]"Deltora will honour the pledge, we will stand with the Sociatatem until pain of death. For the maintenance of peace and liberty, there is no price too high, for if all nations gave way to warmongering crows or even support such ambitions consumed in their own manifest greed, the world would bore witness to the end of freedom, and to the rise of tyranny. I believe, dear Notles, that to call these cretins warmachines gives them far too much credit, but rather a child which sees no further than it's own ambition. 
Naturally, for nations such as we that are passionate in our cause, cracks there are destined to be. For we are democratic, not at all like the so called Imperial Restoration, which stands at the beck and call of the Survaekom as nothing more than it's poodle.

It has also come to my attention, that upon the dawning of the new year. The Treaty of Evemont which keeps our bonds tied is to be ratified once more, however, this year I hereby invite the nation of Murenhedit to our side. To sign this testimony of paper, which will strengthen our nations. For there is no greater bond than the pledge to protect, and on that most dreadful day when war is upon us, it will be honoured."[/i]
