5/2415 Domestic Section ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the past few years, the NASM has been developing technology and expanding networks at an astonishing rate, developing powerful technologies that are useful for both civilian and military usage. Road networks are being constructed further across the country to bring all of the communities closer together, while also further deepening the closeness of the societies and their loyalty to Lord Hubbard. Voluntarily, of course. It seems that stability is recovering as well, as conversion rates are at an all-time high and voluntary participation is also very high. The Kaiser is seemingly still hiding somewhere in Western Texas, and Lev Harkov is still yet to show himself. Sightings have been reported in Neu Muscovy, but no credible sources have located him. It is unknown why he has not shown himself in almost 10 years. Reconstruction in Anarchobama has gone smoothly, and settlers are being sent there to help reestablish anarchic communities. Churches are also being built to convert the local population voluntarily, but the most interesting thing to come out of Anarchobama is the establishment of relations with some factions in the Katabasis. This will be talked about later, but due to the fluctuating nature of the Katabasis, nothing fruitful has come of it. Most expeditions end poorly. So far, the occupation of external territories of the United States has proven effective. Stability is being instated, and ports have been established. Bases are being set up, and temporary churches are being built in the area. Trading posts have also been established, along with distribution networks, to help out the local populace and get them on the side of the NASM so that way relations between the USA and NASM may grow ever stronger. Now, in the newly occupied territories and liberated lands of Burma and Jundui, distribution networks continue to expand, infrastructure is built, and conversion sites/churches are continuing to be built to help the native people learn about the great ways of LRH. His generosity knows no bounds, and he has continued to treat all liberated peoples as his own children. It seems that local cultures are also blending with NASM culture to create entirely new cultures, and slime migration has also been key in creating unique, Buddhist and Chinese inspired cultures. The frontline is still holding, and it is very possible that the NASM may have occupied all the way up to Nepal. It is currently unknown. An additional note: many forces continue to stay in Iberia and Gibraltar. Foreign Section ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The elections in both the USA and Enclave have gone well. Dixie returning is a strong sign that we are getting through to the people, and the government that has been elected in the USA is also favorable. We hope to continue forwards with proper relations and establish better connections, possibly building highways and transit networks throughout the NASM, USA, and Enclave. Beyond this, our support in reconstruction should help to rebuild what was destroyed in the war, with additional support from UC holding down the fort on all other fronts. Hailrh. Now, in China, things seem to be going well. The front continues to inch forwards and liberate further lands, and popular support is rising as time passes. China seems to be growing increasingly desperate and is taking more extreme measures in an attempt to match the NASM, but it is very likely that they will not succeed in their endeavors. Overall, the war is progressing smoothly, reconstruction efforts in occupied territories are going well, and overtures with several nations have proven fruitful in our efforts to continue liberating these oppressed peoples from their captors. A note: relations with Spania are swell, and our defense pacts are going well. The Angolan/Brazillian blockade continues, and Oceanian relations have been strained by their incessant need to occupy all land that they can glance their eyes upon. Regardless, we have managed to broker peace between several nations and Oceania, and we continue to bring new opportunities to the lands of Britain and Oceanic Brazil. Thankfully no one has been hurt in recent conflicts and the Imperial Axis has been privy to working with us, but we are still wary of them and are trying our best to keep them at bay and keep peace. Signing off; hailrh and godspeed.
