Ahrana's Achievements

  1. Hello and welcome to another edition of 'Ahrana Today,' where we bring the news of the wurld to you, the viewer. On today's edition, Terrorist Attack in @Poja, the Stemani Government and the Confederation sign the Act of Integration, minor violence in Kjos, and much more here on 'Ahrana Today.' There have been reports coming in from the Pojački News networks of a terrorist attack happening in Birogarsk. So far, the reports that have come in are placing the blame on the terrorist group from the region of Chernodrinsk. This attack has left hundreds dead and wounded, and an exact number is not known to us here at the new station. The Confederal Government has issued a crucial travel warning for those considering a trip to the Confederacy of Poja. The current travel alert level is Level Priority 3, indicating a significant risk. If you have plans to visit Poja, it's vital that you exercise extreme caution, possess all necessary Confederal Travel Documents, and are aware of the location of the nearest Embassy or Consulate General in Poja. Furthermore, the Confederal Government has released a brief statement, “We here are outraged at the brutal attack by these Terrorists on innocent people. We ask everyone traveling to Poja to use caution and that our faithful here in the Confederation keep the people involved and the nation of Poja in its prayers…” The President of the Republic of Stemas traveled to the confederation capital and signed the Act of Integration and Admission into the Confederation. In conjunction with these Acts, he also signed the Act of Confederation, the Confederal Constitution, and the Monarchy Act, which symbolizes the first steps Stemas has taken for admission into the Confederation. As we advance, the Republic will begin transitioning into the Stat of Stemas, and Government allocations will start taking place. Once the flags of the Confederation go up over Bakne, the integration process will have been completed, which is said to be several months away. In other news, the Ahranaian Directorate of Intelligence has warned the public about the Socialist Agitators in Kjos. In recent weeks, these agitators have been looting and robbing many local places within the regional city of Kjos. The ADI has stated in their Public Warning that “the group known as Socialist Priority has made it known through a publication of a manifesto that they desire to overthrow the corrupt and illegal government that is currently ruling the nation. Furthermore, we have reason to believe that the group may be planning a major operation that could take place in the next several months. We have men and women on the ground with the Federal Police Services to ensure this does not happen. Now, to the Socialist Priority group, we told Greggor Ivanoff: Leave now while you still have a chance. We do not negotiate with terrorists. This applies to you at this very moment.” That is for this edition of ‘Ahrana Today.’ Thank you all, and continue to have a great day.
  2. Probably as much as you want. If you do not want any influence, then you do not have to have any influence and vice versa.
  3. @Mavran, thank you for the link to the Document. I see no reason why this couldn't work. As long as it is a light influence within the modern time frame, I am happy to see this happen!!
  4. I am a bit standoffish because I don't know how exactly the Lysian influence got there. My only two questions are: 1. How did the Lysian Influence come to be? 2. Is there any Slavic influence at all?
  5. A Day in the Life: Stemas Moskovo, Ahrana Kjerstin walked around her office, her every step echoing the weight of the Act of Integration and Admission for the Republic of Stemas she was working on. As the Parliamentary Advisory Council asked, this was a pivotal moment as she made the final touches on the Act. Having already received the Royal Consent, the Act was now in its crucial drafting stage. She paused in her stride, just a sentence away from completing the Act when her secretary entered with more paperwork for the Royal Consent Box on her desk. She finished the last bit of the Act before saving and handing the tablet to her secretary, who would see that copies were made and one official printed version was also made. One copy would be sent to Bakne straight away to allow Mr. Olsen time to look over the Act, though at this stage, he would not be able to ask for any changes to it as the Confederation has the right to set the requirements for the Admission of Stemas into the Confederation and not the other way around. One copy would be sent to the Queen along with the Official Copy for signature, which would go in the Royal Consent Box to be signed tonight and delivered back to the Chancellory tomorrow morning. Kjerstin walked over to her desk and opened the Ahranaian Royal Blue Box, which had the Imperial Coat of Arms on the top and the Queen Monogram on the Side where the critical lock was placed. The other three sides had a gold Ahranaian Crown engraved into them. She picked up several Military folders of recent troop movements around the Confederation and a situation update from Lt. Gen. Lars on the Velaharian State of Siebenburgen. She put in several Legislative Proposals from the Parliament and a Security briefing from the ADI about the Ivanoff Socialists operating in Kjos. As Kjerstin finished arranging the files in the box, her secretary arrived with the official version of the Act. She placed both versions in the box, each in its respective folder, and locked it. Handing the box to the Royal Postmaster, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the next steps in the process, a feeling that was shared by all involved in this historic moment. Presidential Palace, Stemas Mr. Olsen was reading a pleasure book to relieve some stress when there was a knock on the door. It was an aid from the Secretary's Office, and she had the red folder where all official documents come in. He figured it was the final version of the Act that Moskovo sent him to look over. As he opened the folder, he glanced at it briefly, smiled at the aid, and thanked her for delivering it. She left the office, and he continued reading. As he read, he saw the part about the Church remaining the same, except the Monesstaries in Stemas must revert control to Peterburi. Though it was not a favorable idea among the Stemani Government, there was no telling what the response would be from the Archbishop of Bakne. He figured the Church would have to accept this as the Act was official, and nothing could be done as these were the requests of the Confederation. The Stemani Government has been meeting for the past couple of days to discuss the Budget allocation. They came up with giving the Confederal Government total control of Defense, External Commerce, Internal Infrastructure, Regional Finances, and Police Services. The only small request was to allocate a portion of the Defense Budget to Stemas for the Self-Defense Force that they were permitted to create. The total debt of Stemas was ready for transition; the government had no issue with giving the Confederation that bill; though it wasn't at the current debt level, it was still one less thing to worry about. As for the representation of the Stemani people in the Confederations Parliament, the next election cycle would be in two years, when 50 seats would be added to the Parliament. As for the banks within Stemas, well, those would become part of the Federal Banking System of the Confederation, allowing the Confederation to have the inflow of funds and the intake of money from the system Stemas had implemented since its independence, which gave them a tremendous amount of business. The Confederal Government would still allow the rules and regulations within the Republic of Stemas to govern and operate within the State of Stemas boundaries. The other state would not be able to have those same rules and regulations. That was one thing the Stemani Government asked to be kept in the transition, and the Confederation government agreed. He would take the flight to Moskovo in the morning to sign the Act and make the transition official, but the governments would have officially been integrated over the course of three months. He walked over to his suite next door to his office, packed a few things, grabbed a suit, and placed it in the suite travel case. He grabbed a few other small items, threw those in the suitcase, and rolled it outside the office door where one of the aids would pick it up and place it in the car so that it was ready to go. He wouldn't bring anything government document-wise to avoid dealing with that. As he walked back into his office, one of the aids returned with another red folder and placed it on his desk. He walked over, and it was something from the SID, Stemani Intelligence Division, and looked over it. It was their security assessment of the flight path and anything Mr. Olsen should be worried about while flying over parts of Ahrana. There was a mention of Kjos and what the ADI thought of the situation there, but the SID did not seem worried about these "revolutionary." He placed the folder down and kept on for a few more minutes before telling the aids and secretaries he would sleep for a few hours before his plane left. TO BE CONTINUED... (OOC: The integration process will happen RP Wise over three months. However, in this thread, it will be done in four Posts if I can make it work. The following post after this will not be one of those four posts, as it will be a continuation of this post.)
  6. July 2, 2024, Ahranaian Peacekeepers Central Command Post Koinsburg, State of Siebenburgen Lt. General Aleksandra Lars of the Royal Army was recently informed of her deployment to Koinsburg. This is crucial as the Confederation takes a more hands-on role in stabilizing Velaheria. The Defense Ministry, recognizing the importance of this mission, selected someone the troops would respond to in difficult situations. Several generals put forward her name on the Chief of Staff Council. The decision was made to reinforce the mission with an additional 4,000 soldiers, bringing the total Ahranaian Soldiers to 6,000 strong. The outfit in Velaheria would now be made up of the 3rd Division, comprised of the 9th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Brigade, a testament to the gravity of the situation. Lt. General Lars landed in Koinsburg a day ago in the middle of the night due to security concerns, so she had yet to see the area's state. She was now responsible for ensuring Peace and stability. She had planned to have one of the MH-22As deployed in the area to take her for a look around Koinsburg and the Northern part of Siebenburgen in the morning and then the southern half of Siebenburgen and the Island where Sternburg would either be in the evening or perhaps the following day. Either way, she beat Royal Navy Captain Viktor Petrov to the area. He was still a day or two away from reaching the southern coast. The Royal Navy had pledged to send a few offshore Patrol Vessels from the Eastern Naval Fleet stationed in Havsborg. The ANS Drottning Aleksandra was the Flagship of this squadron, which would be stationed at the port of Sternburg while the other ships would keep a course to ensure the coast and sea patrol the waters, docking when needed. A supply vessel would also be sent when supplies were required from the ship and the land troops. The total number of sailors deployed was 260, including the squadron's CO. July 3, 2024, Command Post Koinsburg Koinsburg, State of Siebenburgen Lt. Gen. Lars was walking in her MB Pattern Service Uniform towards the MH-22A, waiting for her to fly over the local area. She got onto the helicopter, put on the headset, and told the pilots to head out using standard precautions. There was no reason to worry about being shot down as most of the fighting had ended at this point; though she wished there was some resistance being put in by the Starinburg supporters, she wouldn't complain about it either. She was here to ensure peace remained and that the people were getting the aid they desperately needed from everyone involved. As the helicopter flew around the area, she started to get the lay of the land and see what damage had been done in the fighting. She knew it was nothing like it probably was in the Capital, but it was enough to cause some issues for these people trying to live their lives. Soon, they were heading back to the Command Post, and she could send the 9th Brigade out to the North of the state to start trying to help the people there in that area. In Koinsburg, she would send the 13th Brigade, which ultimately would be the most significant portion to patrol and help the people. But she felt the 13th Brigade was up for the task. Though she had yet to see the southern part of Siebenburgen and the Island where Sternburg was located, she would send the 14th Brigade to South Siebenburgen and the 15th Brigade to the Island off the Coast of the South of Siebenburgen. The Brigade Lt. Colonels would receive their orders tonight, deliver them to the soldiers, and tell them the rules for the duration of this mission. They were there to keep the peace and help the people when needed. At no point were they to shoot anyone unless the life of a citizen of Velaheria or a soldier was in danger of being killed should they engage. If any form of engagement was to happen, it must be reported straight back to Command immediately so that the AN Command Post could be notified of the issue. Furthermore, they were to wear the Patch of the AN Peacekeepers above their Ahranaian Flag Patch while off base at any time. This violation would be dealt with according to the military code of conduct, emphasizing the need for discipline and adherence to rules in this crucial mission. As she returned to base, she asked that the Command Station be prepped for a General Staff Meeting with all officers and that the Navy Captain and Staff Officers be video-called. She walked towards the building she was using as the General Offices for the Officers of the Posting; most, if not all, of the Officers were already there awaiting orders, but just a few needed to be included. The other Army Officers arrived and took their seats as the staff got the Navy on the video call. “Thank you to all for joining the General Staff Meeting on such short notice. I have just a few things I want to review before handing out the assignments to everyone here in this room, and then the Navy Captain will also brief us on his status after I finish the tasks. First, remember that this is AN Peacekeeping Mission, and first and foremost, we are to abide by AN Rules and Conduct while off base. All Brigades within this Division will wear their AN Peacekeeper Patches above their Ahranaian Flag Patch at all times; any violations will be dealt with according to the Ahranaian Military Code of Conduct. Secondly, at no point should a soldier shoot anyone if two things are not taking place. One reason is the safety of the citizens you are protecting and helping to rebuild are in a life-threatening situation, or two, the life and safety of your fellow soldier is in danger. If any engagement results in the death of a person, it must be reported to this Command Post immediately; there are no exceptions! Thirdly, all Brigade Commanders must give daily reports back to the Command Post at the end of each day; if any Brigade Commander misses their reporting to the Command Post, then there will be disciplinary action taken towards that CO. If the CO fails to report back four times in total, reassignment will take place and if need be a demotion as well. That is all I have for you all. Here are the assignments for each Brigade; COs assign the task to your regiments as you see fit. The 9th Brigade has Northern Siebenburgen; the 13th Brigade has the middle portion, including Koinsburg; the 14th Brigade has Southern Siebenburgen; and last but not least, the 15th Brigade has the Island off the coast of southern Siebenburgen with the city of Sternberg. The Royal Navy Flagship will dock at port there with you. That is all from me, Captain, now to you.” “Thank you, Lt. General Lars. The Velaharian Squadron will be in the area of Sternburg in two days, as we did not leave the port as planned. We may make port at night, but I have not talked with the Navigators yet this evening. I will update the Command when I know for sure. Meanwhile, the orders given to this Squadron are as follows: to patrol the sea around the Zone and to help the zone above us patrol if need be. The ANS Drottning Aleksandra is the Flagship for the duration of this mission and will most likely be in port; if not, the ship will patrol the water sector adjacent to Sternberg. No ship may fire upon any vessel unless it is a private vessel, but only after several transmissions have been sent to the ship asking them to return to the shore or face being fired at. As for assignments, ANS Vikingur, you will be tasked to patrol Zone 1 near the Bastaria Zone Border; ANS Victoria, you are tasked to patrol Zone 2 directly south ANS Vikingur; ANS Havsborg, you are tasked with Zone 3; ANS Volkov, you are tasked with Zone 4, ANS Uppsund, you are tasked with Zone 5; ANS Hnútur, you are tasked with Zone 6 which is the Northern tip of the Island I am going to call Sternburg till further notice; ANS Victory, you are tasked with Zone 8 which is the Eastern Middle part of the Island; ANS Drottining Aleksandra will be tasked with the Western Side of the Island when not in port. The Royal Navy will send resupply ships when called for by either the Command Post or my Ship. Those are the orders.” The Captain and the other Navy Officers saluted before the video call ended. The Army Officers all stood at attention before the Lt. General saluted, to which they returned. They started to make their way out of the building and head to their barracks to inform their soldiers of their orders so they could begin preparations. In the coming days, the Ahranaian Red Cross workers would arrive at the Command Post and bring many necessary containers across the whole state of Siebenburgen. Yet, the supplies they are getting are only the first half. TO BE CONTINUED…

  9. Since the passing of the esteemed Ahranaian Patriarch, His All-Holiness Karl Lugas Johansson, the Ahranaian Church has been under the guidance of a Locum Tenem, a temporary Patriarch without full Patriarchal Status. The upcoming Patriarchal Synod of Peterburi, an influential and significant event in the life of our Church, was initially planned to convene at the Ecumenical Patriarch and vote for the next Patriarch of Peterburi and all of Ahrana. However, due to the Anglian Conflict that has affected the entire wurld, the decision was made to hold the Patriarchal Synod in Peterburi instead. His Eminence Metropolitan Johannes of Hjaltland, the current Locum Tenem of the Patriarchate of Peterburi, has diligently overseen the election of the next Ahranaian Patriarch, ensuring that every step is taken with utmost care and adherence to tradition. A stickler for protocol, His Eminence is committed to upholding the will of God in this election. Despite being a candidate, he has conducted himself impartially, ensuring a fair and just process. This commitment to fairness and justice reassures the Ahranaian Church and the Orthodox community of the integrity of the election. The Synod is expected to meet in the evening of Monday, August 12, before the Feast day of the Assumption of the María Meyja. The newly elected Patriarch will serve at the Divine Services of the Assumption and host an excellent reception for all to attend. During the Election, the service that will be held is a short service with the singing of Ég berst við Stratego hennar three times, followed by the algjörlega of the day, which is Breytist eins og það er. After the algjörlega, the petitions of the Patriarchate will be said, which will be followed by the hymn of the cathedral, Ágrip af svefni meyjar, which will be chanted over and over till the ballots are collected and the Bishop presiding over the election has returned to the Altar. After the last set of petitions, the presiding Bishop will emerge from the altar, give the bowl of the ballots to whoever is assisting him, and begin announcing the results. The name that gets most of the votes will become the next Patriarch. If no name receives a majority, there will be another collection of ballots in the same manner until someone has been picked. Once the election has been finished, the chant Postular að utan will be chanted to end the service with the newly elected Patriarch leading the chant, during which he will bless those in attendance after being vested in the skikkju with the two Engólpion and the Cross in the center of the two. After which, the new Patriarch will enter the Altar and reverence the Altar and then walk outside and bless the people outside in the courtyard before departing for the evening with the other Bishops. The Bishops that will be attending from the Patriarchate of Ahrana and the Orthodox Community are as follows(23): Bishop Gerasimos, the Ecumenical Patriarchate Representative Bishop David, the Patriarchal Representative of Godstone Bishop Pierre, the Patriarchal Representative of Lyrie Patriarch Svyatoslav Vladimirovich of Krasbograd ( @Garindina) Patriarch Théophile of Montcharmin ( @Florentia) Patriarch Alix of Belleville (None Voting, just Ecumanist Representative) Patriarch Jakob of Stolec ( @Rinava) Archbishop Jakub of Vulga Supra Archbishop Matthías of Raiko Archbishop Rómeverjar of Luvas Archbishop Vasyl' of Prykarpattia Archbishop Klaus of Trisapol Metropolitan Pétur of Moskovo Metropolitan Johannes of Skaro Metropolitan Johannes of Hjaltland Metropolitan Gustov of Victoria Metropolitan Oskar of Havsborg Metropolitan Jósúa of Kjos Bishop Viktor of Minsk Bishop Håkan of Bakne Bishop Vladimir of Grjota Bishop Oleksander of Volkov Bishop Nikitas of Reechitsa
  10. A day in the life…. The Republic of Stemas --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the Dniesterin-Ahranaian Conflict of this year, the Republic of Stemas has been wary of the outside wurld and Ahrana. The Stemani Republic, believing that the Ahranaian Government is secretly planning to reclaim all former lands of the Empire, remains skeptical despite the lack of concrete evidence for this 'hidden agenda.' The Stemani Republic petitioned the Ahranaian Confederal Government to begin the process of integration for two reasons: one, the Republic has no standing army and is in no position, thanks to the Constitution of the Stemani Republic, to organize one, and two, the Stemani Republic believes that if they are to use the Military of the Confederation of Ahrana, then they might as well join the Confederation. The Stortinget decided that with these two factors and the economic challenges the Republic faced, integration into the Confederation was necessary and a potential avenue for economic growth and stability. President Fredrik Olsen of Stemas is scheduled to meet with the Federal Chancellor of the Confederation, Kjerstin Heskin, in Bakne at the Presidential Palace to discuss the terms the Confederation has in integrating Stemas into the Confederation. Presidential Palace Bakne, Republic of Stemas ------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Olsen had the staff prepare the meeting room across the hall from his office for the meeting between himself and the Chancellor. It has been over 20 years since a senior government official from Ahrana's last visit to the Stemani Government offices. Though this was for a different occasion, he still felt some formalities needed to happen. The Presidential Guard, the only actual Military Force in the entire Republic, was finishing getting into position outside in the front courtyard for the arrival of the Chancellor. She would receive the Presidential Salute from the Guards before entering the building. Mr. Olsen walked around the center offices where his staff was located, making sure everything was organized and clean; he was told by one of the Presidential Body Guards that the car was roughly five minutes out from the Presidential Palace. The Chancellor had driven to Bakne from her Summer Residence in the South of Ahrana in Uppsund. Though it was only a two-hour drive, he would have flown to the Bakne instead of driving, which was a personal preference. He started to hear the Police Sirens of the convoy of Police Units and made his way to the front of the Palace to wait on the steps for the car to arrive. As he walked out, the Presidential Guard came to attention as the vehicle approached the Gates and was let in. As the car made its way to the circular drive, the guards saluted as it passed by them, one by one. The car had parked, and the Chancellor stepped out carrying a small briefcase and a coffee cup. As she approached Mr. Olsen, she handed off her briefcase and the coffee cup to her aid and shook his hand. "Mr. Olsen, it's nice to meet you in person finally. Those virtual calls were getting tedious, so I thought it was time for a face-to-face meeting to discuss the next steps." Mr. Olsen smiled and motioned to the front door for her to enter. They walked to the meeting room and were only joined by her Secretary and one of his secretaries. They all sat down at the small table to begin the discussion, which he hoped came with good news. "Madam Chancellor, welcome to Stemas. I know it's your first official visit to Bakne and the Presidential Palace, so welcome. Please let me or the secretary know whatever you need while we talk, and she'll get whatever you need." "Thank you, Mr. Olsen. For convenience, please call me Kjerstin. Madam Chancellor gets old when we are talking with just the two of us, so there is no need to keep it extremely formal for me when I call you by your last name." "Of course, what news from the Confederal Government do you have?" "The Government, including the Stat Governors Council, met and discussed the steps for Stemas to join the Confederation. I have also discussed this matter with Her Majesty the Queen, and she has agreed with the steps and requirements the Government wants to be done. Before anything happens further, the Government recognizes the Stemani government's decision for integration into the Confederation since the Article of the Republic dealing with nulling the Constitution has been activated and that a transition should be done as smoothly and as quickly as possible so that the Republic does not default on any debt owed. From this moment forward, the Confederation will consolidate the debt of the Stemani Republic into its debt and provide the Military Forces of the Confederation at the Stemani government's disposal. Furthermore, we will activate a Military clause in the Constitution to allow the Stemani Government to create a Defense Force similar to the one in the Stat of Xara to be created at the decree of your office, Mr. Olsen." "Okay, very well, I will begin drafting an executive order and issue the creation of the Defense Force at first notice and issue another Executive Order allowing the Confederations Military to operate in Stemas. What else is there?" "The other two things that were brought up and accepted as a requirement are for all Government Officials to take the Oath of Office required by the Confederation's Constitution and thereby pledge allegiance to the Confederation and the Imperial House. Those who refuse to accept the Oath of Office must resign from their Government Positions. The other thing is that effective after the Executive Orders you will enforce; the Confederation would like you and your Prime Minister to resign from Office. As the President, you would be appointed as Governor-General, which the Queen has agreed upon, and your Prime Minister will become the Interim Executive Council President until the other 6 Seats of the Council are elected or appointed by you. The Executive Council would enter an election cycle three years from the instillation of the last member of the Council. Therefore, by accepting this appointment, the Republic of Stemas would become the State of Stemas, and the Stortinget would remain as is and follow the current election cycle. Would this be agreeable? Mr. Olsen looked at Kjerstin puzzled but knew he would have to ask the President of the Stortinget and the Prime Minister to come to the Palace to hear this proposal. He was not permitted to decide without the approval of the three senior government offices. "Kjerstin, I cannot answer that without having the two other senior government offices present for that decision. My secretary will call for the Prime Minister and the President of the Stortinget to be here for deliberation and, ultimately, the final decision. I suggest we take a break if there are no other topics." "Very well, that sounds to me. Please do what you must, and I will be somewhere around here." Mr. Olsen smiled, and then they both got up. He walked out of the room to his office. He picked up his phone and called the Prime Minister's Office first. "Yes, it's the President here. Can you tell Ingrid to come to the Palace and ask her to bring the President of the Stortinget as well, please? Thank you." He sat down at his desk and looked at his computer to see if he had any new emails, as well as looking at his desk to see if any new files had been dropped off. Nothing new was around, so he started to draft the Executive Orders that would take effect this evening. Out of everything requested so far, he could implement it without needing others to approve it. The Constitution of Stemas was a pain in the butt with all of its checks and balances on the power of the president. For once, he would be glad to be able to take a step back and take the new role if the two others approve of the requests the Confederation made. As he sat at his desk, he received a notification that the Prime Minister and Stortinget President were almost here, which was fast. They must have been waiting for a call from him. He sighed and shook his head, laughing at them both because he knew damn well what they were doing. Soon, he saw the car pull up and went to the meeting room, where Kjerstin still was. "Kjerstin, they are here now." "That was quick!" "Yeah, those two were probably in the Prime Minister's Office waiting for me to call them over. They are a mess, a funny mess at that. But here they come. I hear them walking." As Mr. Olsen stood up, the door opened; Ingrid, the Prime Minister, walked in, and behind her, Mr. Karlson, the President of the Stortinget. They all shook Kjerstins's hand and took a seat. "Thanks for being quick, you two. So, the Confederation has listed a few things for us to do, and I need the approval of the two other Senior government officials to accept their last requests. Here is the document listing them. Please take a read over them and then let me know what your answer is." They all sat in silence while they read. Kjerstin had found some tea in the room and sipped on it while Mr. Olsen looked at the other two while they read the paper. Soon, they finished, looked at one another, and then gave their answer. "The Prime Minister's Office will approve this but asks that the Executive Council Members be appointed from amongst the current Provincial Governors. Other than that, I approve and accept these requests and ask that you make them official before midnight." "The Stortinget will not block these requests. I want to ask that the next Election Cycle be by the next Cycle in the Confederation, which I believe for the Stat Parliaments is in two years. We will divide the Stortinget into thirds and have one-third up for election in that cycle so that it's by Confederation Law. Furthermore, we ask that the upper house be kept, the Forbundsrådet, and if desired, some of these members could be used as potential candidates for the Executive Council. We will also lower the number of seats in the Forbundsrådet so that the Upper house is not seen as an attempt to keep the Republican Legacy of Stemas alive." "Very well, then, if we agree with Kjerstin, we will accept these requests and begin implementing these things immediately. Please give my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. I will travel to Moskovo in a few days to sign the final agreement, and then we will begin the official transition!" Everyone nodded and shook hands. Kjerstin walked to the front door to get into her car and drive back to Uppsund for the remainder of her weekend before she flew back to Moskovo to begin preparing to sign the Official Document and Constitution by the Stemani Delegation. Stemani Executive Broadcast ----------------------------------------------------- "Citizens of the Republic of Stemas, I, your President, have decided to enact several Executive Orders and an Executive Decree with the agreement of the Senior Government Officials of the State, by Executive Order No. 4611 the Military Forces of the Confederation of Ahrana will have complete jurisdictional control as the Military of Stemas and will remain so until further notice. Executive Order No. 4612, By the Powers granted to the Office of President by the Stemani Republican Constitution and the Stortinget of the Republic, the Integration process of Stemas into the Confederation of Ahrana will take effect at midnight tonight. It will be officially declared in four days when the Prime Minister and the President of the Stortinget and I sign the Confederations Constitution and the Official Integration Document in Moskovo. By Executive Decree invested in me by the Confederation of Ahrana, Executive Decree No. 0023, The offices of President and Prime Minister will be changed to as follows: President of the Republic of Stemas will be known as the Governor-General of the Stat of Stemas. The Office of the Prime Minister will be known as the Executive Council of the State of Stemas, with the former Prime Minister heading this Council as its Interim Council President. The Executive Council Members will be decided from a list of members from the Forbundsrådet and members of the Provincial Governors across Stemas. These six members will be chosen as soon as possible. Finally, Executive Decree No. 0024, A Defense Force for the Stat of Stemas, will go into effect. The Ministry for Defense for Stemas will begin calling up draft numbers for Civilians to serve in this Defense Force. Between the ages of 17-26, all male and female citizens of Stemas must serve two years of active duty and three years as a reserve or until they are age 26, from which point the citizen will have the right to choose to remain active or reserve, or to leave the Defense Force. As of Midnight tonight, these Executive Orders and Decrees will be in effect. They will have status as law, as granted to me by the Republican and Confederation constitutions. Also, at midnight, the Republic of Stemas will be known as the State of Stemas, but the transition process into the Confederation is only just starting. It will continue until the whole government and nation of Stemas have been integrated into the Confederation. Thank you, and goodnight." To be continued...
  11. I will create the ICCly Thread today, and it should be published by 10 pm tonight Eastern Standard Time US. All of those who want to participate in the thread will have 3-4 days to post a reply with the following: 1) Introduction of the Bishop(Archbishop, Metropolitan, Auxiliary Bishop, or Representative of the Nations Church)(This introduction can be done in any way you want.) 2) Arrival to Ahrana via Peterburi (NOT MOSKOVO) 3) Who came with your Bishop (Archbishop, Metropolitan, Auxiliary Bishop, or Representative of the Nations Church) 4) Conclusion: It's not required, but if you want to reflect on your thoughts on the candidates, this is where you can place it. After those who want to participate have made their posts, I will wait four days before moving on; I will post the next part, which is the entrance of the three candidates to the Cathedral where the election will be happening. After that, the election process will start. This timeline should give you a clear idea of what to expect and when. How does the election work? The election process is done very simply. A Bishop will oversee the start of a small service which is basically a few chants and then the bishop emerges from the Altar via the center of the Iconostatsis and will walk out to a table in the center. On the table is a bowl that will be walked around to each bishop or representative of the nations church and each person will place a piece of paper with a name on it into the bowl. Once all papers are collected, the bishop with the bowl enters the Altar again, places the bowl on the altar, says a prayer over the documents, and emerges on the sola, giving the bowl to another bishop to hold. The bishop who collected the documents will begin reading the names. The name with a majority of agreement amongst all present (at least 2/3s) will be nominated and elected as Patriarch. If two names receive the most names, then the process is completed again till a name gets a majority of the votes. Who votes for the Ecumenical Patriarch and the other NPC Orthodox Nations? I have asked a few people to cast a vote or just tell me the name of one of the three names, and that's how that will be done unless otherwise dictated. How many votes does each nation get? Your nation gets one Vote. Those who have Patriarchs have one vote, Archbishops 1 vote, Metropolitan 1 Vote, etc. No matter who represents your nation, your Church gets one vote total. If you have any questions, please ask me through Discord DM or on the religious channel.
  12. To the powers that may be, I plan to start the Expansion for Stemas next week once I get back to my room from my vacation.
  13. I am on vacation for a few more days, but once I return to campus, I will start this RP Thread, and those who would like to, who are part of the Orthodox wurld, will be permitted to make their introductory post for the RP.
  14. Many happy returns, young Sir Ahrana.

  15. Bishop Håkan of Bakne Bishop Håkan of Bake is the Auxiliary Bishop to the Archbishop of Stemas, who was elected to the rank of Bishop in 2019. He has served the church since he was a seven-year-old boy. He served as an altar boy until he was 17 when he entered the Seminary in Ahrana to pursue the Priesthood. During his time at the seminary, Bishop Håkan was Class President of his graduating class, was on the dean list his entire tenure, and was considered an excellent liturgist and cantor his whole time there. He was ordained to the Holy Diaconate during his senior year at the seminary. He was placed at the Seminary till he graduated, after which he was sent to a Parish in Stemas in the Northern part of a town called Malům. He served there in the capacity of Deacon before being ordained to the Priesthood by the Archbishop of Stemas. Once ordained as a Priest, Bishop Håkan was made the National Chancellor of the Stemani Archdiocese, where he served in that role for ten years before being assigned to the Stemani Cathedral as Dean of the Cathedral for five years, after which he was elected to the Auxiliary Bishop to the Archbishop of Stemas. Metropolitan Johannes of Hjaltland Metropolitan Johannes of Hjaltland is the head of the Metropolis of Hjaltland in the Ahranaian Patriarchate. He was elected to the Metropolitanate in 2008 by the Ahranaian Eparchy Synod and installed by the late Ahranaian Patriarch Karl Lugas Johansson. He has served in this role since then. He was the Temporary Bishop of the Metropolis of Victoria during the election of a new Metropolitan in 2011. He currently serves as the Temporary head of the Ahranaian Patriarchate until a new Patriarch is elected. Since he was a little boy, Metropolitan Johannes dreamed of serving the Church in any capacity. At the age of 16, he entered the seminary school in Ahrana. He was ordained a Deacon on a Saturday, and the following Sunday, he was made a Priest by the former Metropolitan of Hjaltland, Kristoff IV of Hjaltland. Upon his Priestly Ordination, Johannes was sent to serve in the Ecumenical Patriarchate for ten years before returning to Ahrana. Since his return to Ahrana in 2008, he has started many programs in the Metropolis to help the churches and the people who are of the faith and not of the faith who live on government assistance. During the Civil War, he was seen in the mix of people on the street washing their feet, giving clothing, food, and other necessities to those who were now homeless due to the fighting. Metropolitan Johannes was one of the few Hierarchs who opposed Gregor Ivanoff and called him a murderer. He even went as far as to enter Politics and run against the local Communist party in Hjaltland. Since then, he has removed himself from politics, stating that it was only to push the opposition to the communists. Metropolitan Oskar of Havsborg Metropolitan Oskar of Havsborg has been the head of the Metropolis of Havsborg since 2001 and was elected and installed by the late Ahranaian Patriarch Karl Lugas Johansson. He attended seminary in 1966 and was made a Deacon 1970 by Archbishop Lucas of Vulga Supra. He served as the Archdeacon to the Archbishop of Vulga Supra for ten years before being sent to Moskovo as the Archdeacon to the Patriarch of Moskovo, His All-Holiness Patriarch Konstantin XII. He served the Patriarch till the election of Patriarch Karl Lugas Johansson in 1999. Upon the election of the new Patriarch, Oskar was made a Priest by the Patriarch and served as the National Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Volhynia until he was elected to the Metropolis of Havsborg in 2001, where he has served since.
