[list][*]In the [b]Cotê d'Or[/b], a Serranthian colony held in low regard by the [b][color=lavender]Empire of Violette[/color][/b], Veletian born d'Or nationalist Gare Ladnier announces his candidacy for the head of the [i]Association de Commerce d'Or et Serranthia Nord[/i]. While not usually suspect, as Ladnier fits the requirement of being a college educated Veletian, Ladnier has--in the past--advocated for self-determination for the d'Or and many of his contemporaries believe that if elected, he may further divide Veletian interests in the region toward d'Orians instead. The election is slated for October 12th. His challenger, Philip Sumer, is a distant relative of Empress Tsirine, made possible only through marriage of his parents into the Famille Royale in the 1890's. Sumer is a long shot to win, though his plea for government "intervention" remains unanswered.[/list]

[list][*]The [b]Liubeth Conference[/b] begins in Liubeth, Kalpia following the acceptance of a ceasefire in the Zello-Osladian War. Delegations from Zellonia and the Osladian Empire are sent, a dozen men from each country. The delegations are expected to take around two weeks, with Continental nations universally hopeful that a peace can be brokered. "[i]A dolly of a war over a short strip of sea that has cost millions of dollars and thousands of lives[/i]" was the general outlook of the war thus far.[/list]

[list][*]The [b][color=purple]Tyro-Redanian Empire[/color][/b] and the [b][color=yellow]Republic of Itherae[/color][/b] agree to stage war games. It has been deemed acceptable by the Imperial Minister of the Army Dominik Kuhler, in a bid to both improve the effectiveness of our armed forces and relations with neighboring Itherae, to authorize the carrying out of military exercises with elements of our own army and the Itheraen Army. As well as overseeing a joint-training program, Several mock war games will also oversee the two armies attempting to defeat one another in mock battles over set objectives.

Over the next week, the Tyro-Redanians are summarily outmatched time and time again by the Itheraen Army. From squad level engagements up to division level maneuvers, Itheraen officers shown brazen skill and insight that seems to baffle senior level Tyro-Redanian commanders. Multilingual battalions within the Empire are revealed to have difficulty in communicating with one another, thus slowing down their effectiveness.
