Economic flourishing, happy faces, and the lowest crime rates in decades. The King has told the public of his plans to recreate España's golden age, with a large Empire encompassing any parts of the Old one. Scientific research has begun in the new University of Madrid, housing the first Spanish Laboratory ever sense the world's governments collapsed. Payed for in full by the federal government, the Laboratory is expected o be available for full use at the close of this year.
Further, border tensions with the Exiled Portugal have again sparked, an incident caused a declaration of war to be brought down. Though due mostly in part to Portugal's absence of any military, blood shed is expected to be low if any. The King says that it will merely be a redless revolution from the outside.
In world politics, the King has asked several nations for agreements of peace and trade. He offers access to the Gibraltar Strait, which is expected to bring more commune and trade through Spain. That is all for now. Have a nice day, España, and don't forget to visit the new Laboratory.
