-In Edoniras summer came to pass, the sun is shining and golden fields line the countryside of most nations. I say most because even in these, the happy times, there was war and death all across nations. In the Councilate’s colonial province the Khan had revealed himself from his nation to strike fear into the hearts of all the citizens who lived there. However the major fortifications were well defended and were well stocked. This means that the Councilate lost any sort of money making good it could try and take as they are forced into their homes. On a brighter side for the Councilate rebel groups appearing behind the lines of the Khans forces. Patrols were attacked on their rounds and carts of supplies were ambushed. The Khan losses 100 swordsmen, 100 spearmen and 50 crossbowmen. 

-Furthermore recent fighting in Bennipolis has become even bloodier as the leader of the Terheridon forces killed himself. Terheridon were planning on up sticking and returning home on a peace treaty with no strings attached however Bennipolis decided then that they would ask for a truce whilst also attacking from the sea. This kind of betrayal was un-acceptable, how dare they offer the olive branch with one hand whilst stab Terheridon with the other. The Terheridon forces then spent a number of nights discussing plans, do they return home and fight off the incursion or do they push on trying to take the capital itself. The answer soon became clear. Bennipolis forces had a much stronger navy and the incursion had come from sea, if they returned home the enemy’s men would simply jump in their ships and Terheridon could do nothing to stop them. And so they decided to cut the beating heart from the beast. Terheridons forces stopped pillaging and looting and marched, they marched up to the city of Bennipolis itself and begun to siege it with only one message sent.
[hider=Bennipolis] From the table of King Dearheart, 
People of Bennipolis we only want peace and yet you have forced out hand. If you withdraw your forces then we will also withdraw, give you the body of the traitor and shall publically declare that any other act of violence committed by Terheridon against your nation as illegal and that if it happens then all nations will be free to attack with their full might.[/hider]

-However the war in Dont is finally over. After a number of months of fighting loyalist forces have either joined the Alliance or been trialled and executed. The most notable was Former President Otto Von Klebb. He was given to the Republic as a peace offering and the revolutionaries took no time in exacting their revenge. Alongside a number of his rich friends he was tied to a cross, whipped and branded. Rotten veg and fruit was thrown at him before he was made to lick the boot of Robert the Freedman clean. Finally he was beheaded, his body crucified in flames whilst his head was tied to the gate of the Royal Palace. 
[hider=Aznavor] From Robert the Freedman to all the citizens of the great Kingdom of Aznavor,
I must thank you with all of my heart, your nation supported mine during our most troubling times and has seen us rise from the ashes like a phoenix. We hope that the recent good relations between our nations will grow further as we work together for a more prosperous future.[/hider] 

-Finally! The economic downturn was over, as nations GDPs levelled out the nations were left trying to recover what they had lost over the year. Because of the cease in downturn and people’s investments in their economies there are some GDP gains. 10 Billion for those with a free market, 5 billion for those unmentioned and 1 billion for those with a state controlled market.

[hider=Valm] Your spies have been successful, any hider labelled for Bennipolis you can now read until the summer next year.[/hider]
