ELECTION WEEK ARRIVES!
The arrival of winter brings with it the arrival of Election Week! Campaigning by the Ultranationalist party has seen their support rise dramatically in several of the more economically disenfranchised regions of Roskana, with a great deal of their support critically coming in from overseas and the state of Ald, where many of the Ultranationalists ranks come from. In the South, the Encontrierran Rosarkina continues to struggle to gain a substantial lead, and once again their leaders have largely folded and agreed to form a coalition government with the New Republic Party should the NPR win, with economics being a especially heavy topic recently due to the influx of workers back from Arema into the mainland.
President Amelia Karshkan, in the wake of making a full recovery from her injuries after an assassination attempt by a Tsarist loyalist, has announced that she will once again be running for President, and is expected to see popular support.
Election Day is in a six days, and candidates are rushing to shore up support in anticipation of a especially close election season, but signs point to the potential formation of a multi-party coalition within the Diamid with the NPR firmly maintaining control over the Executive Branch. As well, the NPR is in close competition with the ER for control of the Marrs senate, and the Ultranationalists for Ald, though they enjoy what appears to be nominal control of Auran and most other parts of the Greater Republic, to which have regularly voted Blue since the first election day.
Amelia has said that she hopes to see everyone on the 8th, and that should she lose the election regardless, she will continue to advocate for and to protect the liberties of Roskana and its peoples, and for the liberty of sapient peoples worldwide - as she promised upon taking office after the Overthrow.

Criminal Enterprise busted!
The organization known as 'Guras' has had a major blow dealt to them by the Auran Metropolitan Police Department, thanks to the work of an anonymous tipper.
Seizing a shipment of illicit 'Greydust' with a value estimated at around 1.2 Million Rosarks, the AMPD as well captured a number of people operating in connection with the organization. After following leads gained by interrogation, arrests were made in surprise raids after the issuance of warrants for a number of prominent figures in Auran, including the arrest of infamous Textiles Tycoon Tibus Heeth, the arrest of a baker and several of their associates, and as well a number of others, including a high ranking member of the Guras, 'Castor' Manaan, a Kithium of whom was apprehended after a multi-hour standoff with police ending in two fatalities, and four injured armed men, with no police injuries or fatalities - the Auran Mayor praised the AMPD in the wake of this arrest. With a number of Guras smugglers arrest, their web seemingly fractured, and their command structure substantially hampered by police action, the organization is seemingly beginning to quickly unravel.
