LOTUS PARTY ENDS SUPPLY AND CONFIDENCE AGREEMENT WITH REPUBLICAN PARTY
5 JULY 4309
TIAN'AN, Han -- The Lotus Party has formally ended their supply and confidence agreement with the Republican Party, with all Lotus Party personnel in the cabinet resigning following the 4309 General Election. Supply and confidence began in September of 4304, after Grand Chancellor Zhang Zemin capitulated to Lotus Party demands. LP Leader Kwan Zhiyong said at time the deal was "not a coalition by any measure"

CONFIRMED: SUN LUHAN AND PRINCESS KYUNGHEE OF DANKUK TO BE MARRIED
Story by Pan Heng, interview conducted 13 December 4310, story written 28 January 4310
![[Image: o8dFe31.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/o8dFe31.jpeg)
KAIZHOU, Jiaozhi -- For just less than a decade now, the Indralan public has been obsessed with Sun Luhan, the young and handsome noble who is the only chance to continue his family's bloodline, following the sudden death of his father in a car accident in 4297. All the while, Luhan has remained elusive, never speaking publically and studying abroad to avoid media scrutiny; although this reporter has discovered that the location he selected for study may have come with other intentions.
Princess Kyunghee of Dankuk has not lived the fantasy lifestyle that many would associate with her title. In 4290, when she was just seven years old, Princess Kyunghee and her family were extracted from Dankuk by MSS agents following an attempted coup on the monarchs in the early 4290s. The Ryeo family would reside in Indrala from around 4290 until the last of her family, including the Princess, returned to Dankuk in 4298. It was during this time that the two nobles met.
The Ryeo Family had been granted the Yincheng Mountain Retreat for their temporary use during their time of exile in Indrala. The Yincheng Mountain Retreat had been built by Luhan's ancestor, Beiyi of Fehua Taiji in 1552, and thus maintained a small shrine to the Sun Clan ancestors. As such, the Sun Clan had received security clearance to enter the palace on religious grounds. On one afternoon in 4297, fifteen-year-old Sun Luhan accompanied his great-grandfather, Sun Yue, to the shrine. In passing through the palatial gardens, he spotted Kyunghee reading alone by a koi pond, and claims to have been immediately struck by her beauty. The two quickly became friends that summer and autumn, with Sun Luhan making many trips to "pray" at the family's shrine.
![[Image: YPqu2pN.png]](https://i.imgur.com/YPqu2pN.png)

In conversation with Luhan, he also reflects upon his father's death that spring, referring to Kyunghee as his "savior" in helping him deal with his grief. It was also during the winter that Luhan confessed his feelings to the Princess on the first snowfall. She did not accept them: "The political situation in Dankuk meant that I would be joining my father in Dankuk in the new year, and though of course I felt the same way, I also felt helpless against what seemed to be my fate." After Kyunghee and her family returned to Dankuk in 4298, Luhan grew increasingly secluded. To make matters worse during this period, the media began to report extensively on his life. The public became growingly fascinated with the question of who he would marry. For Luhan, there was only one answer. During her time in Indrala, Kyunghee became interested in ancient Indralan texts. Thus, when Luhan said goodbye to her, he handed her a proverb from an ancient text by Sima Gouzhi, disciple of Jenshi: "愿得一心人，白首不相离" (When you catch someone’s heart, you will never be apart).
Sun Luhan committed himself to his studies. Accounts from Sun Clan servants report that the 16-year-old locked himself in his room for nearly 20 hours every day, never resting from his studies. At the age of 17, Sun passed the Indralan Scholastic Ability Test (ISAT) with high marks and begged his great-grandfather to allow him to study at Gongmangdo University in Dankuk. Seeing it as an opportunity for his downtrodden great-grandson to escape the purview of the incessant Indralan media, he accepted.
During his time in Dankuk, Sun desperately tried to reconnect with the Princess, but it was difficult. As a foreign-private citizen, it was not easy to get ahold of the House of Ryeo. Indeed, the Princess had been required by her family to end all communication with Sun. It wasn't until the intervention of his great-grandfather, Sun Yue, in 4303 that Emperor Choeson V agreed to let the two meet in Gongmangdo. Under extensive security, the two met at night in a small Kunihito garden. The Princess reflects that she tried to remain composed and reserved, having been told that this should be their last meeting. However, when Luhan handed her another proverb, she read it and wept. The proverb, by Zhongzhi Lin, read "有缘千里来相会" (Separated as we are, thousands of miles apart, we come together as if by destiny).
![[Image: dSygDIK.png]](https://i.imgur.com/dSygDIK.png)

Thus the two began a clandestine relationship which would culminate in one raining evening in 4304, with Sun Luhan kneeling on the bricks leading to the Beonyeongsalm Palace Throne Hall. Without sleep, the young noble would stay in this position for 31 hours, until eventually, the Emperor would emerge, granting Sun the permission to marry his daughter. It is said that the Emperor had his reservations as Sun's noble claim was not recognized officially in Indrala at the time, though these are all rumours. "I told Kyunghee that I had decided I would not live my life without her beside me, and with this determination, I was able to kneel before my father-in-law for 31 hours until he accepted my love for his daughter."
Sun Luhan nor the Princess would give any details on how they officially became engaged, other than to say it occurred in 4306. Sun returned to Indrala in 4306 to be with his great-grandfather, who was ill. Noting the growing political instability in Dankuk, Sun pleaded the Princess to move in Indrala, but she intitially resisted: "Not only were we not married, but my father needed all the support he could get. My father believes that all Dranians deserve to live freely; I feel the same way, and as such it was not easy to leave him." Nonetheless, Princess Kyunghee arrived in Indrala in 4307, expecting a short trip. Unfortunately, during her visit, her father was deposed by the tyrannical and illegitimate pretender Taeyang Sang-ah, who officially declared herself "Empress" in 4309. The Ryeo clan has not been heard from since.
"I feel guilty each and every day. I haven't spoken to my father or any of my family members in far too long. I should have been with them. Luhan takes me to the temple each and every day and prays alongside me for their wellbeing. I hope they are recieving these prayers." Despite the political situation, the wedding this year will continue. "Luhan has always been with me, whether I saw him or not. He is the only person I can trust to support me today and into eternity"
Grabbing her hand, Sun Luhan simply looked at her and smiled. The wedding will be a private ceremony, with only 10 guests, despite an online petition which garnered over 200,000 signatures demanding the Indralan government to hold a state-ceremony. "This isn't our desire. We hope that the people will continue to support our love, but this isn't what we want."
RESPONSES FROM OFFICIALS:
GRAND CHANCELLOR LO ZONGRU: The engagement of Sun Luhan and the Ryeo Princess is a momentous occasion for our nation. It is a shame it is not even more grand of an event, as it would've been in the era of the Celestial Empire. Nonetheless, this is a refreshing reminder of the historic Dranian-Indralan relationship and it highlights the cultural connections our two nations possess. While the Ryeo Dynasty may have been tragically toppled by delusional self-proclaimed living gods, their legacy is still strong and irremovable from Dankuk's national identity. We hope that one day both of our nations can restore our ancient monarchies. Until then, we engagements such as this to give us a happy reminder of our continuing heritage.
FORMER-GRAND CHANCELLOR AND LEADER OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ZHANG ZEMIN: I sincerely congratulate Sun Luhan and Princess Kyunghee on their engagement. In times of darkness and defeat, it is beautiful to see the light of hope in your love.
LOTUS PARTY LEADER KWAN ZHIYONG: We hope that this marriage will bring happiness and harmony to the Ryeo's and to the Sun Clan, and indeed to the people of Dankuk and Indrala.
REFORMIST PARTY CO-LEADERS JIN JIANHONG AND GENERAL XUN FEN: The Reformists send personal congratulations to Sun Luhan and Princess Kyunghee for their engagement. Naturally, relationships of any kind, whether in the public spotlight or not, should remain distinctly apolitical. We do hope however, that their engagement will help stir up, as it inevitably will, further debate on our relationship with Dankuk, in order to put more pressure on Indrala to act. If you like, we believe Princess Kyunghee must be the catalyst for Indralan intervention in Dankuk.

New Gains for Phoenix Party in Early Elections
Phoenix Party surges into the political scene, captures fourth of the legislature
July 3, 3610
TIAN'AN, HAN
The recent dissolution of the National Awakening Party (NAP) led to new elections, only a year since the Phoenix Party's surprise win last summer, and outcome has shown increasing public confidence in the leadership of Grand Chancellor Lo Zongru. Quite a different outcome from his less-than-one-percent victory in 4309, Grand Chancellor Lo secured victory in the first round of voting with a healthy lead over his Republican predecessor, Zhang Zemin. And in the National Conference, with the NAP vacancies now filled, it is clear that the coalition government established by Grand Chancellor Lo will continue for the Phoenix Party, Lotus Party, and the Reformists.
In the first year of his Chancellery, Lo has overseen the beginning of Indralan military intervention in Hulstria alongside a number of other World Congress member states. The government has also been exploring expanded sanctions on Dankuk, which has now effectively eliminated its opposition and set up a police state. Domestically, the Phoenix Party successfully implemented new regulations on tobacco products, restricting the products to adults and prohibiting use in most places of employment. The Tobacco Regulation Act has been praised by public health advocates and the Phoenix Party has declared that this type of legislation is only the beginning of their larger vision for helping create a healthier and more prosperous citizenry.
Grand Chancellor Lo Praises Revival of the Okatori
July 7, 3610
TIAN'AN, HAN
News of the identification and rescue of Nakashima Morihito, determined to be the best candidate for the throne of Gao-Soto, was lauded by Grand Chancellor Lo Zongru as a great moment for broader Gao-Showa culture. Lo congratulated the Hulstrian government-in-exile on their success in finding the most appropriate heir for the Phoenix Throne and he provided praise for the Kurosawa Clan.

ZHANG ZEMIN TO RESIGN AS LEADER OF THE REPUBLICANS
April 1, 4311
Zhang Zemin, three term Grand Chancellor and leader of the Republicans for the last twenty four years, has announced he will resign as leader of the Republican Party as soon as a new leader is selected at the party's convention in 4312. Mr. Zhang will remain as leader of the Republicans in the National Conference, representing the Republican Party and its constituents until his replacement is named. The decision comes after a long and successful political career as the leader of Indrala's largest political party, which led to three consecutive terms as Grand Chancellor of Indrala. A statement from the ex-Grand Chancellor is expected later in the day.

1 APRIL 4311
Republican Leader and Three Term Grand Chancellor Zhang Zemin To Resign
[Image missing]
Three term Grand Chancellor's career was full of achievement and tragedy.
TIAN'AN, HAN
ex-Grand Chancellor and leader of the Republicans Zhang Zemin has announced that he will be resigning as leader of the Republicans as soon as his replacement is selected at the Republican Convention in 4312. The announcement comes after a disappointing election where he placed a distant second to current Phoenix Party Grand Chancellor Lo Zongru. Despite his failure to win the Chancellery, his party managed to gain back much of the 50+ seats it had lost over the past decade. The positive result for the Republicans points towards a bright future for the party even without Zhang Zemin at the helm.
LEGACY
Zhang Zemin is a well traveled politician in Indralan politics. His career started when he successfully ousted former Republican Chancellor Xuan Shuren amidst the Xiandai Revelations. From that moment, he continued to build the Republican brand and had famously worked night and day to fix the party's image. He was famously quoted saying
Quote:Thank you for your trust. I have only this to say: It is time for us to be humble. We will not celebrate or toast to our future until our party is rebuilt and retooled. It is time for a rebirth of this party. From her ashes, Song Yi will be born again through each and every one of us. We will never lose our compassion again.After this moment, Zhang Zemin became a rising star. He sacrificed his life saving a baby during Typhoon Yutu and despite falling ill, managed to lead the Republicans to impressive election showings. His chancellery began in 4296 and was spread over the course of 9 years. He is most known for bolstering Indrala's international reputation and carrying the legacy of Lotus Party Chancellor Huang Zitao after his premature death. Zhang Zemin's bi-partisan cooperation stirred controversy within the Republican ranks, however he persisted and managed to maintain a stable government for nearly a decade. All eyes point to the future however, as the Republicans must choose a new leader to wrangle their base and look towards winning the hearts and minds of Indralans in the next election.
CHOICES
There are only three candidates who have thrown their hats into the leadership ring so far: ex-Internal Affairs minister Chang Ruogang, disgruntled farmer Ren Zedong and, and potentially the biggest name in the hat: Xiandai CFO Wang Junpyo. The three candidates will face off in debate within the next few months, hoping to win the minds of enough delegates to secure a victory.

While many look to the leadership election as an indication of the direction of the Republicans moving forward, there are rumours surfacing that Zhang Zemin has already lost hope in his party and its brand. A recent vote in the National Conference saw Zhang Zemin defy his party and vote in favour of recognizing the heirs of Choeson V (ex. Princess/Prince of Dankuk) to recognized as legitimate by the Republic of Indrala. The Republicans, having been founded on the principles of the republic, have been staunchly fighting the recent royal fascination of Indralans. It is Zhang Zemin's defiance, however, which signals the beginning of the end for the Republicans. They will never be able to achieve the same bi-partisan cooperation as they once did the Mr. Zhang at the helm as long as they oppose the romantic return of the monarchy...
Ex-Grand Chancellor Xuan Shuren Found Guilty in Indralair Flight 692 Investigation
[Image missing]
Xuan Shuren pictured in 4278
HAZHOU, SHU
In a dramatic turn of events, the Indralair Flight 692 accident investigation has come to a close following the arrest of former Republican Chancellor Xuan Shuren. Mr. Xuan is guilty on 144 counts of murder, 2 counts of bribery, 5 counts of corruption, 16 counts of soliciting prostitution from a minor and a single count of treason. The charges amount to 275 years behind bars. Supreme Prosecutor Yuan Zeng Guang laid out the offences during Xuan Shuren's private trial:
Quote:SUPREME PROSECUTOR YUAN ZENG GUANG: Mr. Xuan. You are responsible for the deaths of all 144 passengers of Indralair flight 692. You are guilty of one-hundred-and-forty-four counts of murder through pursing personal accumulation of wealth through stocks held by your family in Xiandai Corporation by forcing unrealistic deadlines on the production of the X400 jet during it's development which sacrificed the safety of the entire X400 program - which subsequently caused this crash.
You have been found guilty of two counts of bribing Xiandai officials with tax incentives and senior advisor positions in order to make a profit on the production and sale of X400 jet that your government invested in.
You are guilty on five counts of corruption for: seeking personal profit through government means, seeking profit for your family through government means, seeking wealth for your political allies, including former chair of the Republican Party Lao My, Soliciting prostituiton while holding a government position, and soliciting prostitution on the taxpayer's dime.
You are also guilty of sixteen counts of soliciting prostitution from minors, including 4 specific accounts found through investigation which detail your use of government planes as a personal pleasure craft for illegal sex with minors and prostitutes.
You Mr. Xuan, are guilty and are hereby sentenced to 275 years with no chance for parole.
The Prosecutor mentioned former Republican Party President Liao My, who was previously arrested for numerous charges of perjury, bribery, coercion, leaking government secrets, failing to appear in court, resisting arrest and embezzlement. Liao My is long dead.

The seemingly endless list of charges come years after the Indralair Flight 692 incident happened. SPS agents have been working for nearly a decade to get to the bottom of the crash, and were speculated to have found the culprit during a SPS raid on the Xiandai Commercial Jet Manufacturing Centre in Shu all the way back in 4306. It is now known that what investigators found at Xiandai HQ was far reaching and beyond the scope of Xiandai themselves. The investigation into Indralair 692 connects many dots, and closes many doors, as the Xiandai Revelations scandal which had brought down the former Chancellor in 4283 are now finally over. Xiandai is curiously innocent in these revelations, and have not been charged in the conclusion of the investigation. Some spectators point to the possibiltiy of a deal made between Xiandai and the SPS to expose Xuan Shuren in change for immunity, but only time will tell what else lies beyond the veil of the unknown.
More to come...

CHANG RUOGANG WINS LEADERSHIP ELECTION
November 13, 4312
At 9:42pm local time, the results of the Republican Leadership Race were announced at Republican Party HQ (RPHQ) in Hazhou, Shu Province. In an upset vote, Chang Ruogang became the fourth leader of Republicans with a majority of 263 delegates - thirteen more than the majority threshold. Ms. Chang brings experience and passion to the Republicans. She has served both as Internal Affairs minister and critic over the last decade, and has seen both sides of the fence. Chang Ruogang has stirred the party's base and called for massive deregulations and protection of farmers. Her platform was wide-ranging, with topics concerning international disputes, all the way to empowering the mothers and fathers of Shu. This fresh approach to leadership will prove to be a stark contrast to the cooperative nature of Zhang Zemin, who has distanced himself from the Republican Party brand. Party insiders have been relentless in critiquing the former leader and three-term Grand Chancellor for being too soft and easily pliable. Worry no more, as Chang Ruogang promises to stand up to the big boys in Tian'an and fight for the so called "underdogs of the republic" - that is - the farmers of Shu.
In her victory speech, Ms. Chang outlined her promises to Indralans:
Quote:CHANG RUOGANG: Thank you mothers and fathers, thank you! Wow! My, my wow. It is so encouraging to see all of you mothers and fathers here smiling for me this evening. I promise you will never feel left a lone after tonight. I will bring this party back to a seaworthy state! And don't you forget... this party stands for the REPUBLIC! We will fight for the republic until our blood turns black!
I'd like to congratulate Wang Junpyo on his performance, however I give him words of caution: the Republicans do not hesitate to give the boot to a big Tian'an boy like you! Ha! And to Ren Zedong, I give you my sincere congratulations and offer to cooperate with you as we build this party back from the base all the way up again! Let the purge of big suits begin. No more Zhang sympathizers in this party. There is no room for you. We are serious, we are critical, we are farmers!
As the sun sets tonight, I wish for all of you, my fellow Republicans, to look towards the dawn, for we will have the greatest yields in centuries tomorrow! Let the work begin!
Thank you!
Ms. Chang's speech was met with applause and furious cheers from many clothed farmers present at RPHQ. However, several party members opted to leave the convention hall after the results were announced, citing frustration with the delegate system and the unwillingness to support Chang Ruogang.
These results have not come without controversy, as many in the party's more centrist ranks are criticizing the decision to move forward with a delegate system rather than a direct election. If conventional party rules were used, Xiandai CFO Wang Junpyo would have one the leadership. Party officials have defended the decision, however - saying that the party would have lost its course and veered further off course than Zhang Zemin has already left us. The delegate system was a way to ensure the preservation and longevity of not only the Republicans, but the entire Republic of Indrala as well.

Kwan Zhiyong Leads Lotus Party to First Government in Two Decades
After two decades in opposition, Kwan Zhiyong has been elected Grand Chancellor
![[Image: gucjd2x.png]](https://i.imgur.com/gucjd2x.png)
Kwan Zhiyong, leader of the Lotus Party, on election night
TIAN'AN, Han -- In a surprise result, Kwan Zhiyong has been elected Grand Chancellor. This is the first time since 4295 that a Lotus Party administration has been elected to power. In a speech to her supporters in Tian'an, Kwan spoke of the importance of stability:
Quote:In these trying times, we need to put our differences aside and work to ensure the stability of the Republic. There are many aggressors around the world desperate to see us fall apart and attack each other; we must not fall to their cynicism. Indralans have proved time and time again, that when you bet against our country, you're going to lose! I sincerely thank Grand Chancellor Lo for his service to the Republic both in the armed forces and as the democratically-elected Leader of our nation for the past 9 years. I hope to continue our work with the Phoenix Party to ensure the best results for Indralans.
Indeed, the Grand Chancellor-elect has already put forward a cabinet reshuffle, dividing the administration equally between the Phoenix Party and the Lotus Party. With an equal number of seats, the two parties will have to work closely to ensure a steady government over the next five years. Additionally, the second ballot endorsement of Kwan by the Phoenix Party is largely responsible for her election to the position of Grand Chancellor.
Despite polls suggesting a drop in popularity for the Republicans following the departure of longtime leader and former-Grand Chancellor Zhang Zemin, Chang Ruogang's Republicans have remained the largest party in the National Conference.
Concluding her speech, Kwan declared:
Quote:My responsibility will be to bring every woman and man together, ready to confront the immense challenges awaiting us, and to act. Let's continue to love Indrala. From this evening, and for the next five years, I am going to commit my body and soul to serving our nation on your behalf, with humility, devotion and determination. With love and fearlessness, I thank you all!

Cammy Award for Indralan Television Series Indicates Rise in 'Ying-Pop' Felt Around World
WBC CEO says Indralan media is becoming "dominant" internationally

Title card of the WBC docuseries "Guidao Quan: Peace and Power"
AUGUSTA, Cobura -- Recognized for its "well-written storyline," and "positive impact on Indralan youths," the state-broadcaster WBC has achieved international acclaim for the 4303 docuseries Guidao Quan: Peace and Power at the IFSO "Cammy" Awards, where it was given the top honour. After airing, the docuseries was received with mixed reviews in Indrala. While many applauded the cinematography and historical accuracy of the series, others criticized the exposure of "child abuse" inside the Shanyang Monastery where the series was filmed. Nonetheless, many Indralans have celebrated the award, claiming that it symbolizes the power of Indralan culture on the world stage.

WBC CEO Tan Guiying has attributed the win to the "progress of Indralan democracy." According to CEO Tan, the rise in authoritarianism in Sekowo and Dankuk mirrored by a rise in democratic freedom in Indrala has led to a Dovanian entertainment market in which Indrala is dominant. For example, as the NCP regime in Dankuk placed extreme restrictions on television and radio, Kyo-pop, once a powerful force in Dovani has become severely hindered. Meanwhile, Indrala's comparable Ying-pop industry centred in Jiaozhi has been on the rise since the 4250s.
The Indralan entertainment industry has also directly prospered due to the Dranian regime through the large number of Kyo directors, producers and performers who fled to Indrala seeking refugee status. Their experience has led to vast improvements in the quality of Ying-pop and the Indralan film industry, which were regarded as comical and hackneyed by much of the world just 75 years ago. Times have changed, as demonstrated by the 4212 IFSO Cammy Awards, wherein Indralan television programs made up 56% of all nominations. According to Zhang Zetien, Professor of Film Studies at Enshi University, the Indralan entertainment industry is now "without a doubt the largest in the world, producing the highest volume of content compared to any other competitor."

Various Ying-pop music videos
The growing popularity of Indralan pop culture in many parts of the world has prompted the government to support the creative industries as a form of soft power and in its aim of becoming one of the world's leading exporters of culture. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has, in the past, sent thousands of USB drives filled with Indralan television dramas and pop music to regimes across Dovani, seeking to expose those under authoritarian oppression to the prosperity of Indralan democracy. The proliferation of historical television dramas has also been applauded for exposing traditional Indralan architecture, literature, music and dress to a younger audience. Some in the country, however, have taken issue with the way in which Ying-pop displays Indralan culture to the world.
"The idea that someone in, I don't know, Dundorf, might think that these girls with short skirts and boys grinding on the floor represent who we are is an offence to my ancestors," says Dai Jun, President of the Jiaozhi Coalition of Conservative Parents, "What's even worse is that our young people are actually following these disgusting trends!" In May, the Jiaozhi Coalition of Conservative Parents plans to protest the "rampant sexuality and promiscuity" of Ying-pop outside the WBC headquarters in Kaizhou, Jiaozhi.

DANKUK REMOVES DICTATOR TAEYANG SANG-AH
1 NOVEMBER 4315
TIAN'AN, Han -- Spontaneous lantern lightings have taken place across the country as the Indralan public celebrates the abolition of the monarchy in Dankuk. Taeyang Sang-Ah, officially referred to as Taeyang-saekki by government officials (Kyo: Taeyang, the bastard), assumed power by force in December of 4309 after dethroning Emperor Choesun V of the House of Ryeo and proclaiming herself Empress. The Grand Chancellor spoke at a rally in Tian'an, where she praised the Dranian Government:
Quote:Today a pro-democratic government representing the popular ambition and dreams of Dranians to live free has officially ended the reign of a tyrant. In the history of Dankuk, a dark and painful era is over. A hopeful day has arrived. All Dranians can now come together, reject authoritarianism and build a new future for their nation.
