LUCERNE/VRIJLAAR - today: The provisional government of Kurum Ash-Sharqia formally offered Saladin, president of New Batavia, the throne of Kurum Ash-Sharqia. This new nation seceded from New Batavia last month.

Saladin announced to accept the offer and to become Kurum Ash-Sharqia's first sultan. As president of New Batavia, he took the ceremonial role of the office very seriously. This is probably why he was asked to become sultan. Fairouz Farhani will become acting president until the next presidential elections.

LUCERNE - yesterday: IRP and SCIP agreed upon a roadmap for the secession of the English speaking governorates of New Batavia. After three marches on Broekszaal and an election victory for SCIP (South Corum Independence Party), the cabinet agreed to start negotiations on resolving the issue peacefully. Referenda will be held in every governorate on the question of secession.

Cracks are showing in the IRP - DSB coalition. DSB strongly opposes the secession movement and resents the planned referenda. The IRP on the other hand, wishes to avoid more civil unrest. The party is confident that most governorates will choose for stability and oppose a secessionist adventure. The coalition parties agreed to leave the matter to the Majlis-ash-Shoera, but it's uncertain whether the coalition will survive.

BROEKSZAAL - today: The "Green Committee" announced to march to the city of Broekszaal in New Batavia next Sunday. The Committee unites descendants of ancient IIR-citizens, who remaind in the Green in Southern Corum. Since the restoration of the IIR and its renaming to New Batavia, they have been asking for inclusion and citizenship rights. The planned march from the Green to Broekszaal is a protest march against the silence of the cabinet on the issue.

LUCERNE - last week: Saladin was re-elected as president of New Batavia. There was only one candidate. Saladin received 87 % of the votes. He's been in office since 2010.
