RE: Likatonia - Infinite1 - 16-12-2024 In the eye of the storm: Likatonia advises against all travel to the anantonese empire ![]() This evening president Elliott and minister Wilkinson returned to Clovisport. An emergency cabinet meeting was convened, this came after a trade deal and military alliance was struck between Likatonia and Kundrati. Gaduridos' president immediately made threats to sanction Likatonia leading the Elliott administration to cut off all diplomatic relations with Gaduridos and withdraw from the SEC summit, although we note that Gaduridos has no authority under which they can expel Likatonia from the organisation, Likatonia will be reconsidering our membership in the SEC nevertheless. Likatonia has closed the Trans-Seleyan railway line that goes through Likatonia for the foreseeable future. Further the Likatonian government is advising all citizens against travel to the anantonese empire and advises all Likatonian citizens to leave Gaduridos and Lodamun immediately. We note that there is already a travel advisory against Kalistan. President Elliott hit out at the Anantonese for their reckless actions, Quote:Today I am dissapointed, we thought that Gaduridos especially would be better than this but sadly I was wrong. I would just like to point out the hypocrisy of prime minister Montenegro's statement she is prepared to sanction us, Likatonia, whilst they are prepared to allow Kalistan to waltz through Athosia. Lets speak the truth, in Likatonia we value our freedom. We do not wish to escalate, however we cannot let these threats from the anantonese empire go unchallenged. For Kalistan we offered the empress a peace summit, we offered her the chance to speak her grievances she refused that offer, the truth is Kalistan does not want dialogue with Likatonia despite our very best efforts. We agreed to a military alliance with Kundrati, we will support them and any offensive/defensive actions they take. Our Navy is fully prepared to counteract the Kalistani threat. We agreed to enhance our economic partnership with Kundrati we will be purchasing Uranium which will be beneficial for our transition away from fossil fuels and non-renewables. We agreed to purchase Farmakon-Z's assets in Kundrati our specialist knowledge will make it work, it will deliver tangible benefits for Likatonians. We will also be investing in Kundrati's infrastructure projects, which is vital for their economic development. I do not apologise for giving people a chance. So lets be clear about who the problem is here, it's not us it's Kalistan, Gaduridos and the Anantonese empire. We fully intend on taking this matter further to the world congress if it is not resolved swiftly. To the people of Kalistan and Gaduridos our grievance is not with you, it is with your government. We will fully coordinate with our commonwealth allies and all other partners in the region to determine a proportional response. The world can no longer be silent. Let me close with this, any threat to Likatonian national security will not be tolerated and we will respond in full strength.Very strong words there from the president saying she will not back down and stands fully by the partnership with Kundrati. With Northern Seleya on the brink once again it is incumbent on all parties to restore peace. Clovisport, Likatonia Clovisport Chronicle RE: Likatonia - Infinite1 - 17-12-2024 Peacemakers of Terra: Likatonia backs away from Kundrati ![]() It appears Kundrati has descended into civil war, Likatonia has consistently called for peace and will continue to do so. This government condemns fully both the National coalition and the Kundrati Legion. It is reported that talks have broken down between the Kundrati Legion and the Likatonian government, the Kundrati Legion requested boots on the ground and threatened to tear up the alliance if their calls where not answered this was an unacceptable request for the Likatonian government who noted that there was never once a condition to put boots on the ground, we offered them humanitarian support which they refused. Likatonia will also not tolerate threats being made toward its government by the National Coalition. Minister Wilkinson addressed the current geopolitical situation in her press conference. Quote:Yes, I can confirm the reports are true the alliance with Kundrati has been torn up, it was never a condition of the agreement to place Likatonian boots on the ground. We refuse to be pushed into a conflict that is not of our choosing, Likatonia calls for immediate de-escalation. Likatonia will no longer be investing into Kundrati's infrastructure projects. On the SEC we have notified Gaduridos that we have suspended our membership effective immediately, the counter-embargo against the Anantonese empire and Canrille will go ahead as planned until they are ready to return to the negotiating table. Kalistan should know that we will respond in full strength against any threat to Likatonian national security, the Likatonian Armed Forces are on high alert, they are ready to match any threat. Likatonia will condemn in the strongest possible terms any nation that attempts to intervene in the Kundrati conflict militarily or is found to be arming either the Kundrati legion or the national coalition, prolonging the conflict and suffering. Despite the Luthorian foreign ministers statement, on the contrary it is Luthori alone who have been unreasonably difficult, it is truly astonishing Luthori is in no place to lecture Likatonia on who we should be friends with, who we can and cannot trade with. We warn Luthori that Likatonia will no longer put up with it. In conclusion let me say this peace is both achievable and possible in Terra, we must give peace a chance.These remarks will likely leave many stunned. The Elliott administration confirming it will back away from Kundrati and the alliance is over. But the threats from the Anantonese empire and empire of canrille are certainely not over, but Likatonia is fully prepared to match any threat. Clovisport, Likatonia Clovisport Chronicle July 5586 RE: Likatonia - Infinite1 - 18-12-2024 Elevate your game: The Emerald International golf club opens in Likatonia ![]() In an exciting new development for Likatonia a new golf course, the Emerald international golf club has been unveiled in West Bolton as part of the Likatonian Government's campaign to promote wellness and revive the nation. Golf has substantial physical, social and emotional benefits we believe that a healthy mind and a healthy body come hand in hand. For us Likatonians this is more than just a game, it's a sanctuary. This morning president Elliott was seen practicing out on the new golf course she offered us a short statement on the Emerald golf club, Quote:For us this is about giving back to the nation and our people, always putting Likatonian's first. This is about bringing our nation together through sport. Likatonia is clearly setting an example for other nations in Terra to follow. It will also host hundreds of international golfing tournaments every year, putting Likatonia centre stage in the sporting world this is only the beginning we have so much more yet to do.This shows that Likatonia is making significant progress. Representative to the commonwealth council Wesley Campbell has also called for a commonwealth championship to showcase the very best sporting talent the commonwealth has to offer this is something that the Likatonian government is continuing to push for. Clovisport, Likatonia Clovisport Chronicle RE: Likatonia - ironimpaler - 18-12-2024 ![]() Aurorian, Ahmadi and Yeudi community leaders endorse the Social Conservative Party. In a joint statement they declared their support for the newly formed Social Conservative Party as it's policies "aligned with their overlapping beliefs" and "protect the morals of society and families in Likatonia". This is worrying news for the other parties as the next election is expected to be close and a slight percentage advantage could mean all the difference on who wins the elections. - The Likatonian Chronicle - RE: Likatonia - ironimpaler - 19-12-2024 Are we looking at an election upset in 5588? With multiple new parties in the mix in the Likatonian Congress, could we see an election upset? Our election expert team believes the current party will no longer hold the most seats at the next election. We believe the election winners will be the Free Democratic Party with the National Democratic Party making large losses and coming in close second. We believe the Socialist Party of Likatonia will gain a couple seats and come 3rd whilst the Liberal Party will make a large loss and fall to 4th. The two new parties, the Social Conservatives and the Reform Party are expected to make small gains but not pose a threat to any big party. A reminder that this is all speculation and there is still a lot of time till the next election and so things could change dramatically. - The Likatonian Chronicle - RE: Likatonia - ironimpaler - 19-12-2024 A brief overview of our Likatonian 5588 election candidates. National Democratic Party (80 seats) The national democratic party is a secular, moderately progressive party who believe in permissive civil rights and support the regulation of the economy. Their stance on climate change is one of treating it as an upmost priority. They feel they should have a large interaction with the wider Terran world. They could be described as being a "centre-left" political party. Free Democratic Party (73 seats) The free democratic party believes in the slight integration of religion in governmental institutions but do not see religion as a means of crafting laws for society. The FDP believe in striking a balance between lassez-faire and a regulated economy. This party is also considered an internationalist but believe in a small government, however the party unlike the NDP believe in more restrictive civil rights and are conservative. They could be described as being a "centre-right" political party. Liberal Party (43 seats) The liberal party are like the NDP a secular, moderately progressive party who believe in permissive civil rights, however they claim to believe in a slight lassez-faire preference despite recent voting records stating otherwise. Also, unlike the NDP they are skeptical on climate change and small-government leaning. They claim to be a centrist party with "centre-left" social policies and "centre-right" economic policies however The Likatonian Chronicle believe much like the NDP they are a "centre-left" party. Socialist Party of Likatonia (13 seats) The socialist party are as the name suggests, socialist. They - like the Liberals and NDP - believe in secularism, permissive civil rights and progressive cultural aspects, however they are slightly more progressive than the other two. Interestingly, they are less environmentally conscious than the NDP but more so than the Liberal party and much more focused on engaging with the international community. Unsurprisingly, the socialist party believe in big governments and large regulations on the economy. This party perfectly fits into the traditional "left-wing". Social Conservative Party (0 seats) The social conservative party are a new party who haven't faced the voter as of yet and we don't know much about them, they claim to believe in the upholding of religious and traditional values in society and maintaining cultural norms with the guidance of religious institutions. They recently have had talks with the representatives of Yeudi, Ahmadi and Aurorian communities who signalled their support for the party. However, unlike typical conservative parties they believe in regulation in the economy and a large government. As they do not fit into any traditional role, they could be considered as a moderate version of the "third position" which is the belief in conservative and nationalistic social policies and a highly regulated economy with religion incorporated into their beliefs. Reform Party (0 seats) The reform party are also a new party who haven't faced the voter yet and so as well as the SCP we don't know much about them. They claim that they are the party that will uphold traditional values but do not see themselves as necessarily religous. They are staunchly anti-immigration unlike the SCP who believe in "tackling the root cause" and believe in putting the nation above all else. They are isolationist in nature but believe in military prowess and large funding of our national security. Some progressives may argue that this party puts a stain on the democracy of Likatonia as they believe that the Reform party are "neo-fascists". The reform party is also highly skeptical of climate change like the SCP but believe in striking a balance between lassez-faire and regulation much like the FDP. The Likatonian Chronicle have come to the conclusion that the Reform Party are "right-wing" or at the very most "far-right" but calls by progressives naming the reform party as "fascist" are baseless. -The Likatonian Chronicle- RE: Likatonia - ironimpaler - 21-12-2024 Free Democratic Party dissolved The National Democratic Party recently spilled into turmoil with numerous factions splitting off and aligning themselves with other parties. This caused the total breakdown of the party causing it to collapse and their 73 seats effectively dissolved until the next election. This means that the NDP will have an outright majority until at least the next election meaning we could see some controversial bills pass as they can capitalise on this blunder. This will have massive consequences for the election. With the election only 1 year away, the NDP and other parties will attempt to sway the former voters of the FDP into it's hands. However, the largest winner of the FDP's demise is the liberal party as they have the most in common meaning they are most likely to inherit the FDP's voters. With the liberal party having recently voted on a more popular lassez-faire approach to the economy, we could see a huge election upset. The other big winner is the Reform Party who may pick up on some of the FDP's more extreme voter base. We believe this is the most pivotal moment in the running up to the election and our experts have reviewed their recommendations and predicted these results: 1. Liberal Party Win (hung parliament) 2. National Democratic Party (close second) 3. Reform Party 4. Socialist Party 5. Social Conservative Party Our experts believe that according to recent polling data the Liberal Party are set to win narrowly with the need to form an agreement with another party, likely the Reform or Socialist parties. The choice of coalition partner for the liberal party will greatly determine their path into the future and their future success. A reminder that many things could change leading up to the election and it is based upon the opinion of our expert team. - Likatonian Chronicle - RE: Likatonia - Infinite1 - 22-12-2024 The leader we need: President Elliott hits the campaign trail with months to go until the election ![]() With months left to go until the next election president Elliott is out on the campaign trail. With the National Democratic party down in the polls, surely the president can turn things around for the NDP. Experts say that this election will be the most crucial in the history of our nation, it will determine the future Likatonia embarks on. Just look at the NDP's record even through a heavily divided congress we managed to pass crucial pieces of bipartisan legislation from welfare reform to health and safety legislation. Judge us by our record, this government has boosted the incomes of the lowest paid workers. We have a strong, growing economy and we are not stopping there. The truth is that the National democratic party turned our economy around, president Elliott is hoping to achieve a third term in office to build on her legacy. Speaking at a rally earlier today she told the chronicle, Quote:The national democratic party will put Likatonians first always, we have restored relations with our neighbours. Together we have led the way, Likatonia is well on the way to becoming an major economic powerhouse. We are doing what no other government has done we are building from the bottom up. Even though the naysayers said it could not be done, it was impossible they said, we proved them all wrong. The National democratic party is trusted to lead.With multiple parties now in the mix for the elections and the FDP dissolving, the mood at national democratic party headquarters is said to be tense. This is an election where anything could happen, this is certainly a pivotal moment in our nations story. Clovisport, Likatonia Clovisport Chronicle RE: Likatonia - ironimpaler - 22-12-2024 Mess at the federal congress! The federal congress is in a state of confusion and disarray. The election was predicted to be close between the liberal party and the national democratic party, however in stunning fashion the social conservative party who we predicted to gain a couple seats has managed to become the largest party with 55 seats and a 7 seat advantage to the liberals. Interestingly, despite their stunning win the NDP has won the second round with the support of the socialist party meaning NDP's candidate is the head of state. The parties are now in deep deliberation on potential coalitions and we aren't expecting any announcements soon. Stay posted. -The Likatonian Chronicle RE: Likatonia - ironimpaler - 23-12-2024 Violent Mass Protests outside Federal Congress ![]() After the announcement that the cabinet proposal to oust the largest party from power was passed mass protests swathed the capital as many Likatonians feel the election was stolen and the leaders do not represent Likatonia. Some protesters started burning vehicles owned by party members of the NDP who fantastically pulled out of the coalition and created a new one. There is now immense hatred for the president Freya Elliott by voters of the Reform, and SCP parties who believe she is not the democratically elected president and call on here to resign.
