Chancellor’s vehicle going full-electric.
Chancellery spokesman Elias Crowne announced today that Chancellor Acwulf Schulz has approved the purchase and outfitting of an all-electric vehicle to be used by the Chancellor. Already two automakers have placed bids with possibilities ranging from a full-size sedan to a large SUV all with extensive horsepower and all-wheel drive, and all the necessities required to safely transport our leader through national and international cities. Renders are to be released soon according to Crowne, as the appropriate protections are decided by Kriegsrat brass. Five of the new full-electric transport vehicles will be produced by the chosen automaker.

Schulz to call for morals code as PM.
As he prepares to become Declansburg's next Prime Minister in a few days, Chancellor Schulz has been considering where his tenure would place its focus. One area will definitely be to keep Declansburg an inclusive community while not being keepers of hate and intolerance. "We want all nations, no matter their cultural, personal or political, or religious beliefs, to feel welcome here and to be a part of us. But there are certain things we just cannot and will not condone, and anyone who attempts at bringing those kinds of things into Declansburg will face an immediate and permanent ejection and banishment. Extreme Fascism and Communism, and anything else of the sort, are absolutely not welcome here; that is just not who we are. We must and we will discuss what is allowed and not allowed, and pass a regional law in the Assembly so there can be no questions in the future. All nations are welcome but certain behaviors certainly are not, and this would be a great start in establishing that," the Chancellor said. Please stay tuned for further information.

NR to reduce nuclear stockpile.
While vacationing at his villa in Salzburg over the holiday weekend Chancellor Acwulf Schulz approved a resolution to reduce the NR’s nuclear weapons program, and using the excess materials instead for increased nuclear power and other non-military purposes. The resolution goes into effect immediately, with the Ministry of Defense reviewing its current Status of Assets then deciding which to eradicate. Additional ultra-capacity nuclear power (UCNP) stations are scheduled for construction with five already nearing completion or are completed, as reported by the Ministry of Natural Resources. Chancellor Schulz expects a depletion of approximately 35 percent of nuclear weapons within six months, with an additional 10 percent within twelve months. This is an unexpected move by the Nationale Republik but with new national military technologies on the rise, nuclear weapons are being phased out. A classified amount of nuclear weapons will be preserved for protective measures though, says Kriegsrat spokesman Conrad Mitchell.

Vienna alarmed over 'cryptic' Romanic threats.
KANZLERAMT, Vienna – Chancellor Acwulf Schulz met with his homeland security team to discuss the “cryptic” threats imposed upon the Nationale Republik by neighboring Romanic Imperium. They’ve placed unprovoked sanctions upon the NR and have also suspended diplomatic communications, leaving the Schulz Government to be concerned that their childish theatrics could be a precursor to a possible attack. Certain steps are being taken by Kanzleramt to limit any possible successes the Romanic Government believes they have over the immensely prepared Nationale Republik.
Defense Minister Laurent Stage has readied multiple Strategic Air Guard (SAG) squadrons across the nation to be ready “at less” than a moment’s notice. He’s also authorized closed airspace over the NR to all Romanic aircraft. Homeland Security Minister Elton Stark has been instructed to close off the border between the NR and Romanic Imperium, effective immediately. Also, the Treasury Ministry has imposed immediate economic sanctions and the Natural Resources Ministry has “cut off” any power that may be going across the border. Other actions are dependent on any further actions by the aggressor.
Additional updates forthcoming.

NRD-005: first exploration report received.
Skyfall Commander Derrick Petty provided the Defense Ministry and Interstellar Command an exploration report of planet NRD-005. The atmosphere closely resembles that of Earth's, weather patterns range from dry and muggy, to temperate with high temperatures reaching 135 degrees Fahrenheit in the South and low temperatures reaching 65 degrees Fahrenheit in the North. Strong to severe thunderstorms are resilient all over the planet all year long with no snow reported. NRD-005 is approximately 66 percent water with two large oceans and "thousands" of streams, rivers, and lakes, with swamps only found in the Southern areas. There is a mountain range which encircles the planet, sitting at about 55,000 feet at its highest point. Dry land is a mixture of flat and hilly areas, with thriving forests and high-grade soil as discovered through testing. More information will be provided as the exploration continues.

NR sponsors Romanic Imperium charges in Declansburg Assembly.
There are those who’re calling for nations to respect the sovereignty of Romanic Imperium but they at the same time forget to call on Romanic Imperium to stop threatening others, which have only served to ignite further conflict. “I think it’s safe to say that Romanic Imperium isn’t innocent, and that their constant and excessive actions and rhetoric are what’s at the root of what is happening in that part of the world right now,” said Foreign Minister Colton Stiell at a media briefing at the Foreign Ministry this afternoon. “Nations are reacting because they keep acting, and threatening and saying and doing all sorts of things and making excuses for them,” Stiell concluded. Charges against Romanic Imperium are being considered in the regional assembly with the Nationale Republik sponsoring them. “The world wants to move on, finally, and be able to focus on other matters,” said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Dedra Crowne.

Schulz warns nations preparing for war.
Citing the successful passage of charges by the regional Assembly against Romanic Imperium, Chancellor Acwulf Schulz sends a warning to the nations preparing for yet another conflict: “Charges against Romanic Imperium have been approved by the Declansburg Assembly and any conflict upon them would only serve as an adversary to the will of our regional government. I hereby implore all nations to reconsider their choices, for any actions against this decision will be met with reprimand from the Prime Minister’s office. I will not allow Declansburg to be engulfed in forever conflict. Please, heed my warning.

Deputy Leader Named Interior Minister.
Deputy Leader of the ruling Federalists Julius Cullen has been tapped by Chancellor Acwulf Schulz as his new Interior Minister. This will give the party leader responsibility over internal security, law enforcement, emergency management and as Director of the Special Security Bureau (SSB), which is charged with governmental security and Covert Security Operations (CSO) among others. This decision is in lock-step with Schulz’s enhanced interior security measures he implemented with an executive order just under 24 hours ago. Cullen will remain the deputy leader and his new position reports directly to the Chancellor.
There was never a secret regarding the Interior Ministry (formerly the Homeland Security Ministry) becoming a heavyweight entity during Schulz’s government, with him craving the ability to tighten interior security measures to better defend and protect the Nationale Republik and its citizens. The Interior Minister ranks above the Defense Minister and is second-in-line to the Chancellor considering the revamped position’s increased importance.
Cullen’s father, Elias Cullen, is the owner of the Republik FC that Chancellor Schulz played for before entering politics. Julius Cullen and Schulz both attended Vienna University where they played for the university’s team for four years. Cullen was appointed deputy leader by Schulz days after assuming the Chancellery.

Schulz signs ruling party’s ‘Next Generation’ Energy Act into law.
Today during a signing ceremony at the Chancellery in Vienna officially codifying his ruling party’s Next Generation Energy Act, Chancellor Acwulf Schulz said that nuclear “and other sustainable elements” will be the next generation of NR’s energies surplus. There are approximately fifty new nuclear power complexes either being constructed or nearing completion, along with ten “next generation” power complexes approved for construction. While Schulz and Natural Resources Ministry (NRM) officials won’t go into explicit detail it has been stated that these new complexes will be self-sustaining and follow the same extended safety protocols set forth by the NRM. Existing coal power stations will slowly be discontinued or converted, officials say. It is expected that coal power stations will be nonexistent within the Nationale Republik in approximately ten years or less.

Opposition leader arrested.
Citizens of the NR woke up this morning witnessing the leader of their opposition party being escorted out of his home by agents of the Interior Ministry’s investigative arm, the Special Investigations Bureau (SIB). Lukas Schroeder was elected as leader of the opposing Independents last year and has been heavily opposed to the Federalists which have been the dominant political heavyweight for decades. Internal and external investigations by the SIB found that Schroeder has been using organization funds for personal use, some $10 million currently discovered, as well as financial support given to the organization responsible for the failed assassination that almost killed Chancellor Acwulf Schulz earlier this year. He has been transported to Wentwurth Institute and will face a national jury this week, with the penalty being death if found guilty.
More information coming soon.

Schroeder funded far-left supporters to assassinate Schulz.
As the investigation continues with searches of the home and office of opposition leader Lukas Schroeder it has become clearer that he did indeed compensate supporters of the opposition to “get rid of” Chancellor Acwulf Schulz. These were far-left organizers and they were approached by Schroeder just weeks after he was elected party leader, and a few days after Schulz called for national elections and announced his candidacy to a full term as Chancellor and leader of the ruling Federalists. According to notes found in Schroeder’s home and office he had wanted Schulz out of the picture so the opposition could capture the Chancellery, and that could not happen “unless the Chancellor is dead.” The perpetrators were paid $2 million out of organization funds which would explain the money found in the suspect’s apartment after the murder attempt. Members of the opposition have yet to respond to this as their organization is embroiled in this scandal. Chancellor Schulz has not commented, at least publicly, but is expected to as more information is found and becomes available. Please stay tuned for further updates.

Opposition leader sentenced to death for funding Schulz assassination plot.
The disgraced former leader of the Independents has been permanently excommunicated from the opposition, had his citizenship revoked and has been sentenced to death for his part in the failed assassination of Chancellor Acwulf Schulz earlier this year. Lukas Schroeder refused to make a statement at his national jury trial sealing his fate. “This act was the most despicable incident I have ever had the misfortune to be made aware of. To know that someone you’ve hosted at the Chancellery two weeks ago for a bipartisan conference was involved in the plot to murder you just months ago… it’s just haunting,” said Chancellor Schulz after being notified of the verdict. Schroeder will be executed at Wentwurth Institute by electrocution at 12:01am.
The investigation continues at opposition headquarters to find if others were involved in the plot. Interior Minister Julius Cullen stated that “we will not rest” until everything about the murder plot is out in the open. “Schroeder was just the beginning and I’m sure the opposition leader talked to others to help facilitate the evil act,” Cullen concluded. Poll numbers have risen for Federalists in light of these revelations as the Independents are laser focused on damage control nationwide.

Schulz attends Pride Festival and is met by ‘energized’ fans.
As one of the largest national events of the year with an annual attendance in the millions, Vienna’s weeklong Pride Festival is one place you wouldn’t expect to see at least one individual take such an active role: the Chancellor of the Nationale Republik, well at least not one who leads the ruling conservative Federalist Party.
You read that right. Chancellor Acwulf Schulz showed up and walked the entire venue, talking to and taking selfies with event-goers throughout the park. “You could see it as plain as day,” said a young man attending the event, “everyone was energized to see him—even though I didn’t vote for him, I was too. He didn’t act like the leader of our country, he acted respectful and authentic and like he truly cared about all of us. It made me tear up.”
Chancellor Schulz did look as if he was amongst friends and family. “I walked up to him and hugged him and he tightly hugged me back,” another individual shared. “It made me feel safe and like he really cared and he even told me to keep strong.” He hugged, took selfie after selfie, talked and even had lunch with a group of people dressed in drag. “Chancellor Schulz didn’t even flinch as he sat and ate with us. He acted human, sincere… like he was just one of us—even though he was still dressed like a man,” one joked. “He’s hot!,” many said quite enthusiastically. Schulz received lots of cheek kisses and seemed to take them in stride.
Even as leader of the Federalists this was not something the organization looked down on. “I saw this as our Chancellor and party leader engaging with our fellow citizens, treating them like they matter and that they are just as important as the rest of us,” deputy party leader and Interior Minister Julius Cullen commented during a media briefing. Several party officials supported Schulz’s Pride Festival appearance.
Schulz signed the Pride Act into law at the event before millions, which gives LGBTQIA citizens “the same rights and opportunities” as everyone else. “This is for you, all of you, because every one of you are out here and everywhere in our great country are just as important and just as worthy as the rest of us. You contribute just as much if not more than some, this is for you. Keep strong, and together, we’ll keep making sure the country we all love continues to prevail. I love you!,” Chancellor Schulz stated after the signing to roaring applause and cheers.
Quoting a popular song Chancellor Schulz shared this before leaving the main stage: “You don't have to feel like a wasted space. You're original, cannot be replaced. If you only knew what the future holds; after a hurricane comes a rainbow. Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed, so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road. Like a lightning bolt your heart will glow, and when it's time, you'll know. You’re a firework. Let your colors burst!” After which the song blared throughout the festival grounds.

Schulz outlaws all opposition parties in monumental executive action.
Media outlets around the nation and world expressed shock at the news coming out of the Nationale Republik this afternoon after the ruling party-run media outlet Republik-Netzwerk (RN) announced that Chancellor Acwulf Schulz has signed and issued an executive action which “immediately and indefinitely” outlaws any and all opposition parties to be founded and operated anywhere inside the Nationale Republik. This clearly paves way for the ruling Federalist Party to hold unobstructed control over the government and nation.
Many believe this action, at least partly, to be a hardened response to the opposing Independent Party being accused of and found to be plotting and bankrolling efforts to assassinate Chancellor Schulz. Interior Minister and deputy Federalist leader Julius Cullen says he counseled Schulz on this matter and suggested that “certain steps” be taken to ensure something like this would not happen again. Talon Haas, who is Schulz’s closest and most senior political advisor, shared the same sentiments and mentioned a “one-party solution” would be a change worth implementing.
Chancellor Schulz did not give a public statement explaining his decision but one is expected at some point, Haas said. Independent leaders slammed the decision as they were escorted out and off of government properties. The opposition documents and belongings that aren’t seized by the ruling party will be destroyed. Financial and other assets will also be consumed by the Federalist Party. No other information is available at this time.
