The Iron Harbour Papers is a large leak starting in late 1699 AN of over 11 million documents, in electronic format, published and analyzed over a long series of articles by an entity calling itself The New Daily Mail & Telegraph of Free Eliria, as syndicated and reprinted by the Daily Lightbringer. The papers detail business relationships, incorporation statements, tax returns, and troves of attorney-client information for hundreds of thousands of off-shore corporate entities.

International Reactions

•  Constancia: The Imperial Constancian Government has repeatedly stated that "...so-called disclosures by these so-called Iron Harbour Papers are mere speculation and a propaganda attack initiated by enemies of the Imperial Constancian State and the Constancian people. They are envious of the order and stability provided by the Autokrator of Constancia, long may he govern, all these decades."
