Cavunia Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Two hikers found dead in the Priljevian mountains Dvaj gornicy znalezeni mrtvi v prilejvskih gorah Just today, around 6 AM, Mountain Rescue Forces (GSV) announced that they have found two bodies lying beneath the Krajcana summit in the Priljevian mountains. After the search, they confirmed that it was two men from the town of Kaljadnica in southern Cavunia. Their families are informed, while the bodies were transported to the closest hospital, where they await the dead men's relatives. After investigation, it appeared that the men most probably have fallen near the pass of Re?opa, a sharp turn on what is commonly called "the sky's route", a very difficult touristic path which needs professional equipment and preparations. Early in the morning, winds are very strong there and the visibility is reduced due to the pass' facing east direction. It is not the first accident in these mountains this summer, however, it is the first fatal one. In June and July, a total of 23 have been injured on paths in the Priljevian mountains. Rescue forces alarm hikers to wear proper shoes, stay close to a wall when moving on a slope and, most importantly, not wander alone. Third ASAN's factory opened in Cavunia Treča fabrika ASANa otvarta v Kavuniji ASAN is the biggest car manufacturer in Cavunia. Led by Jovan Astojlović, it is a well-known brand that selled over 450'000 cars in Cavunia and the whole Europa in 2016. Today its third factory has been opened near Bijelograd, the second biggest city of Cavunia. The concept of the building was fully designed by Cavunian architects, Atheo Design. Modern look will not degrade the environment's value and will create a friendly atmosphere for all the workers. Around 4'000 people started work today, including manufacturers, logistics and company representatives. The factory is officialy led by Nikola Srbicki, who has previously been in charge of Advertising Department in Trigorje. Current Cavunian government send their officials for the opening ceremony. Jadranka Viljostović said: We are always happy to see Cavunian economy growing and we will promote national companies, who prefer to move funds to our internal market. Currently, we managed to decrease the amount of foreign investors and their capital down to 30% of all Cavunian market. We hope that our products will have priority over foreign ones and we imagine Europa will soon appreciate our efforts by purchasing what has been created here. Remember, only WE can make this country rich and great. However, many investors are not so happy with conservativ government's actions. They point out that many possibilites to boost national market are wasted, because non-Cavunian ivnestors are often blocked. Another problem may be relatively high saling prices, which discourages importers from long-term agreements. Several attempts to open national market were turnt down by the current ruling party, KNU (Cavunian New Union). Edited July 24, 2017 by Cavunia (see edit history) Link to comment
Cavunia Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Cavunian response to the attacks on Orioni embassy in Afropa Kavunijska zadba na atak na orjonijsku ambasadu v Afropiji In today's announcement, the president of Cavunia, Jovan Mihajlović, has expressed his and the nation's grief over the incident that happened in Afropa recently, in which Orioni embassy was attacked by unknown persons and one man was killed, with two others injured. In his short speech, the president stated that "We all live in dangerous times. With a lot of opportunities, but also with many risks. We should not be divided by our differences. Our prayers go to the people of Orionians and Afropans". Due to the currently ongoing parliament session, the president could not meet with Orionii ambassadors in Trigorje, however, he sent flowers and a letter to their office. Cavunia listed as one of the cheapest destinations in Europa Kavunija na listije najtan?ih mejsc v Europiji Cavunia has become a major tourist destination in recent years. A perfect climate, alongside with beautiful coastline and cultural heritage invite more and more people with every summer. Due to a beneficial exchange rate of ban, Cavunian currency, foreign visitors can experience very memorable and inexpensive holidays, which does not go unnoticed by travel agencies. Recently, Cavunia was listed as one of the cheapest tourist destinations. Ban's exchange rate currently stands at around 0,28 $, which seems favourable towards many Europans, especially those who cannot afford expensive trips. However, Cavunian hotels and restaurants are responding with increased prices, hurting local population in the process. These actions are mostly seen on the coastline, however, prices in big cities like Trigorje or Appalasta are as well higher during the summer. Ban's rate is stable and has been slowly increasing in recent years, still, it will definitely take some more years until it reaches western financial standards. Until that moment, Cavunia is expecting to develop its touristic infrastructure to fit foreign and local demands.

Cavunia Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Tensions over the new proposal Napijeći naza novi legislaciju The most recent proposal to increase the income tax has met with disbelief and resistance from both the society and the main opposition party. Current leading party, KNU, is planning out a new legislation that would increase the tax rate and make it dependable on one's income. As of 2017, the citizens all had 22% rate, however, KNU proposes to decrease it to 16% for the low-income workers, whilst gradually increasing it up to 33% for the richest ones. KNU's representative, Alina Jahimović, stated that "it wouldn't hurt anyone - just the opposite. Poor people will have it easier to pay and those who earn more money will feel only a slight difference. The extra money our government would get will be spent appropriately, with an aim to create a better life for all of us." The opposition, mostly Futura party, does not agree with the proposal. "It's unhealthy for the market. It's unhealthy for the taxpayers." - comment the leader Paulin Mrd?ač. According to the party, the new legislation would, in fact, lower the budget income in a longer timeframe. Futura calls for public protests and blocks the processing of a proposal. The president's stance is unknown, while, according to the latest poll, 43% of Cavunians would approve the change. It is rural citizens that approve the legislation the most. Red flag for Cavunian coast Červonija flaha dla kavunijskeho obireha The National Department of Climate and Hydrology has officially announced the third degree of danger in the regions of Primore, Damantia and Lower Duclia, due to the possibility of extreme events happening. In recent days, the temperature and the pressure on the Cavunian coast have been steadily increasing, with some days reaching even 40?C. Climatologists are warning that a wave of a low pressure is coming to Cavunia, which may result in extreme storms and rains with a strong wind blows. The experts are expecting a major storm tonight, which may hit even big cities like Port Duclia. People are asked to stay at home and not approach the coast, as the strong winds may push unprepared victims down the cliffs. The emergency services are prepared for the situation. The storm may cut the power lines and the sea water can possibly get into lower parts of the settlements. Caution is needed. Late July is always a challenge for the climatologists in Cavunia. Last year, due to the heavy rain, 3 people drowned while 33 were injured, mostly by antennas and metal parts broken or pushed by the wind. Link to comment
Cavunia Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Opposition demands a referendum Opozicija na?da referendum Tensions over the last proposal are still present in political environment. The most recent legislation to icnrease the tax rate is still not passed, as the parliament keeps preventing it from forwarding. Many liberal parties, including the most powerful one, Futura, as well as ZFL (United Liberal Front) and PiR (Progress and Equality) demand that the president call the national referendum, where Cavunians would decide, if they want the taxes to depend on one's income and if they want the taxes to be raised overall. However, the public opinion seems quite enthusiastic with the new proposal. Most recent polls indicate that between 60 - 65% of the citizens support the legislation. The president still did not voice an opinion about the new decree.
