North/Central American News Report
MEXICAN LIBERATION FRONT DISBANDS. Hermosillo, United States of America. Following their 1944 defeat in the Battle of Mexico City, the Mexican Liberation Front has officially disbanded. After a two-year pursuit across the desert, the United States Army pinned the Mexicans along the coast. Promised safe conduct to the Mexican Free State, the people surrendered to the American forces. They were greeted with heroes welcomes in the African nation for their spirited resistance against the American army.
PAN-AMERICAN RAILROAD ATTACKED. Panama City, United States of America. A series of railroad bridges and trains were devastated by small arms fire and light explosives. With the destruction of the railroad, American military authorities have declared rationing in Venezuela, blaming a food shortage caused by the destruction of the railroad. The Venezuelan Liberation Front has been blamed for the continuing shortages.
South American News Report
ARGENTINA GAINS FREEDOM. Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following threats of rebellion from leading Argentines, the South African government has agreed to withdrawal from the South American country after nearly five years of occupation. A series of strikes and riots has encouraged the African retreat from South America, and elections were quickly slated for December of 1946. The South Africans have retained the Falklands and have claimed the Argentine weather stations in Antarctica, claiming what kind of moronic power would fight for the Falklands anyways? The Argentine elections quickly saw Socialist victory in the polls, and radical leader Evita Duartes has secured the Presidency, becoming the modern worlds first democratically elected woman head of state.
REFORM IN CHILE. Santiago, Chile. The accidental death of President Campo has signaled the rise of a new regime in Chile. Vice President González Videla has been inaugurated as the new leader of Chile. He has recalled the National Congress though he continues to have absolute control over the nations foreign policy and military. Using his power, Videla has brought his nation into the Atlantic Security Agreement and has even sent several divisions to Eire to participate in the coordination training there.
European News Report
POLAND ALTERS COURSE. Warsaw, Poland. The 1946 elections in Poland have seen the rise of the Liberal Party which has successfully secured the lease of the Polish Corridor from Germany and brought that region under the control of Poland. The Liberals have also left the Entente and join the European Economic Community to the applause of its members. However, the Entente quickly reacted and issued voluntary boycotts of Polish goods, which has severely restricted its market viability in Eastern Europe. The Entente nations of Austria and Hungary have managed to seize much of the previously Polish markets, especially with the reopening of markets from the recovering Ploesti oil fields in Romania. However, reconstruction markets in Germany could provide ample opportunity for Polish economic expansion. (-1 Private Enterprise for Poland; +2 Private Enterprise for Hungary; +1 Private Enterprise for Romania)
UNREST IN HOLLAND. Amsterdam, Holland. The death of Anton Mussert at the hands of an anarchist rifleman on January 4, 1946 quickly brought about considerable unrest in the small Western European nation. After several months of minor civil war, a group of Dutch monarchists and republicans met to discuss restoration of the House of Orange. Queen Wilhelminia, queen until the German occupation in 1903, declined to return to the throne and her daughter, Juliana has been proclaimed the new Queen of Holland. A Parliament has been formed and elections held, quickly resulting in a Liberal victory. The Liberals have promised neutrality in all European affairs, officially ending the nations alliance with the rest of the Entente. (-5% Dissent)
TENSION CONTINUES IN SCANDINAVIA. Stockholm, Republic of Scandinavia. Firing has continued between government and rebel forces throughout Norway as the resistance has seized control of several small towns. No major amounts of casualties have occurred in the ongoing fight, though overall civilian and military casualties has been believed to reach over twenty thousand. American troops arrived in Stockholm towards the end of the year and are now supporting a vital curfew and have restored order, mopping up remnants of Ledig Norge in the city.
END OF THE GERMAN CIVIL WAR. Berlin, Germany. To the amazement of many, the Kaiser and leading Nazi Erwin Rommel have agreed to a ceasefire and peace. The Nazis have rejoined the German nation and the Constitutional Monarchy has been reformed with Rommel as Chancellor. A great balance has been established between the monarchy and the new Chancellor, allowing for equal shared power. The new regime has initiated a long awaited industrial restructuring program as the nations battered economy begins to rebuild. Though the military is current at its all-time largest size, it is widely stated that demobilization will occur as early as 1947. In foreign politics, the Kaiser has been forced to cede many territorial demands to the Entente nations, losing Danzig, Austria, Wallonia, and Memel to the Entente and former Entente powers. The new nations of Wallonia and Austria have joined the Entente as their power grows.

@luckymoose, you still have one more year on the new capital. Also, it will not boost your IC, at least not initially.
@Swissempire, the trade you mentioned in your second PM will not be occurring thanks to problems on the other end of things.

Nice update, the taglines are good.
To Holland
From Germany
In light of your new, democratically-elected leader and republican-based new constitution, Germany would like to shake the hand of the "new" Holland and wishes to negotiate open trade agreements; the reconstruction markets of Germany offer ample business opportunities.
To Entente
From Germany
We regret having to surrender land in this way to the Entente's demands, however we did so in the spirit of peace. We look forward to economic cooperation with the Entente in the future, as a means of healing old wounds.
To Poland
From Germany
Your slight economic depression saddens us, especially considering the recent lease of the Polish Corridor. We wish to negotiate open trade agreements early, in light of a necessity for the expansion of Polish business.
To CSA
From Germany
We congratulate you on finally achieving fullblown independence, and hope that our Commonwealth alliance (complete with free trade and mutual defensive pacts) will stand the test of time.
