Endraváros, Kizenia, and New Endralon Occupation Zone. Today marked a historic development in the ongoing war between Nadiya and NEK as the NCF, with their FIA allies, managed to successfully capture and liberate two important cities, namely Tuneculme and Endraváros, with the latter being NEK's northern trade hub. Shortly after the last remaining forces of the junta retreated from those cities, the members of the different newly established councils were convened in Endraváros where they held a vote to elect Ivan Macek, former mayor of the city, as governor of the Democratization Zone of Northern Kizenia and New Endralon, with him securing 65% of the votes while his opponent Barta Fruzsina, a famous human rights activist who recently returned to NEK from her exile in Nadiya. Even tho both candidates promised two visions for the administration of the zone, with Ivan promising to run the zone as a democratic socialist republic. At the same time, hile Barta vowed to administer it as a Metzist liberal republic, it was Ivan's vision that ultimately won during the leadership vote but Barta's program was the one that won during the economic vote which led to both candidates to agree to form a cohabitation government and deepen their cooperation with the Nadiyan government to ensure the transparent and fair implementation of the newly created NEK Reconstruction and Reparations Fund to begin rebuilding the newly liberated land and also prepare to hold celebrations for the upcoming winter solstice. With the administration now handled by a stable democratic native government, the Nadiyan government in cooperation with the one in Endraváros has begun a massive propaganda campaign through the creation of the Free NEK Network composed of a radio and TV channel specialized in hijacking the Junta's signal and calling citizens to revolt and join the FIA alongside Nadiyan planes dropping leaflets over major cities yet under Nadiya control giving them links to the website of the FNEKN and ways to call the newly created green number 2659 to be informed of all developments in the Zone with warnings of any imminent NEK missile strike or military advance, the phone line also acts as a direct line of communication between families separated because of the war, and since the line is free of charge, relatives are encouraged to use it to safely communicate with members of their family without worrying about phone call fees or field coverage since those are handled and paid for by the Nadiyan government. Finally, the newly elected zone governor met with representatives of the FIA to address security questions, and they both agreed that a joint Nadiyan-FIA security force will be established to secure the newly liberated lands while a parallel native police force will continue acting as paw enforcement according to Nadiyan transparency regulations and the local derivatives decided by local councils. Even tho Nadiya's approach of combining democracy and civilian rule with the affairs of the zone is unheard of in the history of military warfare, it still yielded impressive results with a seemingly friendly population who see the Nadiyans as liberators and bringers of change instead of occupiers when compared to life under the Junta or non-Nadiyan occupation zone in the south.
