    ASPERMONT, WESTERLANDS - Company Field Scouts, verifying and counter-verifying came to the conclusion that there is decreased FOREIGN activity in the West, as compared to before.

    There are still however straggling premiums within the past week, but overall the activity has decreased. This however does not necessarily mean they're all gone as some MIGRANTS have decided to stay in select areas.

    Welp, this is the new Eur- REGUPE. Now.

    EDITORIAL - The Changing Tone of the Chinese Communist Party  

    Irishkaiser - The Wolf Warrior Diplomacy of recent years has seen a tonal shift, as its has begun to show its fruits, or lack thereof. There are many factors that came to this but I personally think it is them realizing that the internal politics of the party do not offer serious results.

    As Wolf Warrior Diplomacy arose out of the need to impress people at home, not abroad. By directing blame abroad, the party is attempting to maintain its hold, digging deep into its well-built and well-connected international relations. They know they could do this. They know more democratic nations suffer from political amnesia. Allies today are enemies in two years, and vice versa as George Orwell described in 1984..

    No more is this apparent than in the United States, a land whose opinions change within a fortnight at times. It is a country that forgot it raised and armed ISIS, it is the country that said its elections were very vulnerable to hackers and interference but then switched its tune on this year's elections and it is the country that opened its door's to COVID and flip flopped on the issues and acts without regret or remorse except to blame their enemies(which is mostly themselves).

    The Chinese Communist Party is cunning. It is not that stupid, it just changes its priorities. The benefits of a top-down centralized party command is its ability for long-term focus and the focus has returned abroad. After a barrage of political assaults against its international reputation, from COVID, the establishment of IPAC, the establishment of the Quad and an increasingly hostile international environment, the Chinese Communist Party will begin to once again cater to the international world.

    Will the world remember?

    3 Trade Mission Colonials

    25 Snowballs

    Some food, I think

    A very successful Trade Mission wherein three colonials were gained. This Trade Mission started out with politicking before being called out by members for how obvious it was(FUCKING FINALLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES IT), which is increasingly worrisome in a clan that prides itself on being apolitical in its professional exploits.

    However, the Universe dog blessed the Trade Mission as colonials, the main point of the concept of Trade Missions were about people not about items or materials.

    Overall a very successful Trade Mission. Gave a new guy a pumpkin.

    DOMESTIC - THE GRAND AND GLOBAL ALLIANCE GROWS

    It fills me with pride to see some of you grow up to be such human beings, and capable ones too. As we each offer our services to each other in real life, this network of professionals, of artisans, of engineers, of businessmen that few only hope to produce. In the words of John F. Kennedy's(probably speechwriter)

    Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce.

    Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah--to "undo the heavy burdens . . . (and) let the oppressed go free."

    And if a beachhead of cooperation may push back the jungle of suspicion, let both sides join in creating a new endeavor, not a new balance of power, but a new world of law, where the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.

    Also in the future, I want us to build a nuclear powered submarine. Why? Because its cool...
