19/10/2018 - Ban on Plastic Bags Passes Legislation

In what appears to be a dramatic turn of events Legislation upheld the proposed plastc ban. It had been in talks doe the last year. If passed this legislation would be a vast change to the everyday commerce of our nation. The details of the law if upheld by Queen Viloria would ban the general use of plastic bags across the nation. If this weren't enough the production of plastic bags would also be banned. This comes after a social media storm about the floating island of plastic. Alternative measures have been proposed, but nothing has been done until now.

A few corporations are in an uproar over this change and will do their best to persuade the queen to veto the bill. Julia Perez, CEO of AEP, the largest plastic manufacturing company in the nation has said, "Our small nation is just a drop in the hat for the widespread pollution." The deadline for passing the bill gives the queen a week for her to decide if we will adopt this new legislation. Stay tuned for updates.

26/10/2018 - Queen Viloria Seen at Musical Mocking her Family

 

The latest musical making a buzz in the high class social circles of Empira Tallovia deals with Pilar Viloria's father Andres Opazo love affair with Mauricio Guzman the CEO of Guzman Enterprises. As we reported when the musical was first released it plays loosely with facts and portrays the royal family in an unfair light. 

Queen Pilar was seen with her security retinue entering the Keller Auditorium just before the show began. While at the show she was seen laughing at a few key parts of the play where her own family was ridiculed. The internet was abuzz with a photo of her mouth wide open in laughter taken at the show. The play is poorly written, but the subject matter makes it popular. We at the Tallovia Diario believe this was a strategic move by the Queen to be seen laughing and enjoying the play in an effort to down play it's impact on her authority.

Earlier this morning a light aircraft flying from the main island of Tallovia headed left towards the island of Medra carrying about 50 passengers. About halfway through the flight one of the engines exploded. A rescue effort is currently underway. They landed about 100 kilometers outside off the coast of Medra.

"We need to make an emergency water landing."

"Is everything ok?"

"We've had an engine failure and we're loosing altitude fast. I'll provide you the coordinates now." 

"Ok we'll dispatch the coast guard to begin a rescue."

Social media is abuzz with the calm demeanor of the Pilot during this conversation. Rescue efforts are under way and an investigation into the cause of the failure will begin as soon as possible. Check back soon for an update on this breaking news story.

10/11/2018 - Ancient Kapuch Burial Site Found in Cave

 

Recent Volcanic Activity has uncovered a cavern below the northern Volcano of Kapuc. The death toll remains nil for the earthquake that struck the island last week, but the damage is still being cleared and repaired. Queen Viloria has issued a statement that plans are under way to relocate the displaced, until insurance can handle all of the claims. On a brighter side of this story the earthquake uncovered a cavern previously sealed by volcanic rock. Daring spelunkers found what appears to be an ancient burial site. 

Two bodies were found buried in stone cairns made up of many volcanic rocks. The room as filled cave paintings and decorated with beads and pottery. Carbon dating is underway on the artifacts, but Dr. Hosea Lopez says, that based on the artwork and style of the tools found he believes them to be from the early Island Period of the first settlers to settle here. The room is a treasure trove of history and is sure to yiled valuable information about our Islands' storied past.
