Oklahoma was devided between Native Americans and Settlers. Chief John, the foreign advisor of Chief Black Crow had helped negotiate a treaty between these factions. The settlers will keep the land they had control over, while the Natives would be given more economic power. Oklahoma would also sign a treaty creating the Great Plains Alliance between Oklahom and the Great Plains.
Meanwhile, a treaty with the disorganized governments in the Midwest has confirmed the buying of eastern land. Hopefully this shall start a trend of peacfully restoring the old ways in the east.
Chief Black Crow recognizes that one of the biggest obsticles to restoring native ways is the decimation caused by the old American Government to the plains fauna. We are considering inviting experts from Australia to state their oppinions on solving the problem. We also request that Australia respect the way of life of the Australian Aborigional people, since their history is similar to ours and in some way, that of the Republic of Antpode Fauna its self.

54F* Federal Elections
The Democrats easily won another election, securing President James Van Pelt** a second four-year term in office. Toshiro Kobayashi returned to Congress*** as Speaker****, though Foreign Minister Gabrielle Arbour might challenge him for the job.
The Socialist Republicans, who in the last election seemed to have recovered after their disastrous defeat in 42F, were the big losers in this election. The extreme-right, militarist American Party (formerly the Patriots Party) has taken its place as the third-largest party in Congress. On the other hand, the Patriots Party offshoot, the Unity Party, faced political oblivion, having secured just one seat in this election. Other small parties are also having a tough time; the Radical Party is seeking to merge with the SRP, while the Liberal Left are toying with joining up with the Democrats. Citizens' Rights, having lost all its seats outside British Columbia, vowed to remain unaffiliated and "keep the bastards honest".
(*Beringia uses the "Federation Calendar", which numbers years from when the Federation of North America, the predecessor of the FBR, was proclaimed during the Vancouver Uprising. Dates are written as (for example) "Year 94F" or "94F" to be read fully as "Year 94 of the Federation" or "the 94th year of the Federation". The numbering system used in the Gregorian Calendar (ie Anno Domini) is still widely used despite not being official, and dates are often written with the AD date first and the Federation year in parenthesis.
**Beringia has a semi-Presidential system
***The Beringian Congress is a unicameral legislature, unlike the old Canadian Parliament and US Congress
****His full title is "Speaker of the House", a phrase inherited from US politics. The term "Prime Minister" is sometimes used interchangably, particularly in the Canadian states.)
Economic Reforms Announced
President James van Pelt went into the Election promising comprehensive economic reforms, and it seemed to have worked. Now he has to make it happen.
Today the President unveiled his ambitious plan, consisting of a series of government-funded programs and public-private initiatives to be done over the next ten years. Parts of it, as critics have been quick to point out, look like a milder version of the radical leftist reforms initiated by the Socialist Republicans in 39F, and which led to their disastrous electoral defeat at the hands of the Conservative-Libertarians. Others, including prominient economists, demographers and scientists, praised the plan, which included expansion of infrastructure, increased fundings for education and research, and a small business loans program.
Massive "Airship" Launched
(Excerpts from Seward City News on 5th November 54F)
They call it an airship, but this is no gas-filled airships of old. The massive, sleek metal structure looks more like something out of science fiction...
Today it will dominate the harbor in Victoria, British Columbia, where a crowd is expected to gather to see it soar into the evening sky. The craft, named "Shuffle" by its creators, is a triumph of Beringian engineering, in more ways than one. Apart from the complex structure of the craft itself, it will fly with a modified Super Beaver electric engine which runs on the now iconic Iggy battery, both developed in Beringia...

Stanford: "Hello, and welcome to the Worldview podcast, your source for news and politics from around the globe. I am your host, Harold Stanford, here today with our guest Doctor Nathaniel Kwan, a professor of Far Eastern Relations at the University of British Columbia and a descendant of a refugee from the former Amur Republic, to discuss the recent events that have occurred in Manchuria. Doctor, welcome to the show.
Kwan: "I am glad to be here."
Stanford: "Now, there has been a lot of buzz about the recent annexation of the Martian Colony in Far East Siberia by Manchuria. I understand that this is a rather unusual move for the Divine Empire?
Kwan: "Yes, definitively. When Emperor Zhu succeeded his father, he began a policy of extreme isolation. New military and settlement campaigns were halted; restrictions on foreign access to the Sacred City were tightened. The Divine Empire sort of became the modern day Hermit Kingdom, albeit slightly less belligerent. They have somewhat faded from the public eye due to a lack of real tension amongst their neighbors. This act definitively indicates a severe change in their foreign policy.
Stanford: Now, some analysts are wondering why the colony was annexed, as opposed to, say, Dreagonsong. Most would have thought that, if Manchuria was going to expand, it would have turned its attention to the west and to the south. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Kwan: Ah yes. I think the answer is more obvious than some believe it to be. I believe that they are, in fact, planning to expand into China. If you remember, back in Emperor Yus reign, the Divine Empire had attempted to settle into Mongolia. Now, this ultimately failed, mainly due to the fact that the style of living they had imported could not be sustained there. But another key issue was the lack of proper communications technology. At the time, the technology in that field was inadequate, and somewhat faulty. The fact that record sandstorms were reported those years did not help matters. Now, this is what I believe the real reason for the colonys annexation is. If you look in a few of the photos that were taken during the occupation of the colony, youll notice a certain landmark sitting up in the distance; the colonys communications relay. Not only would this relay allow the Divine Empire to communicate to its forces in all kinds of weather, it is also capable of resisting all but the hardiest attempts to jam and disrupt communications. Hence, when settlements are threatened by raiders or rebel groups, they would be able to respond without delay.

I thought I was missing something. You have +5 LP and I'll throw that into the next update update.
Uganda's claims in Scotland will overrule anyone else who tries to claim in Scotland this turn.
My fault, I should have put claims and orders in the same post.

Question from Japan:
What NPCs are the light pink, the light brown, and the light blue that are near us? Is there somewhere that tells us who's who, or do we just guess?
Claims, orders, and interesting writeup to come later.

On the bridge of the Europa Subpod Jupiter’s Jewel…
Jacoby Merhoose: Well, I do believe that this was an excellent year. Dorothy, fetch me a drink.
Dorothy: Yes sir. Will you be needing anything else, sir?
Jacoby Merhoose: No thank you, that’ll be all for now.
(Dorothy leaves the bridge)
Jacoby Merhoose: Captain Kwaeng, status report?
Kwaeng: The Jupiter’s Jewel is operating at peak efficiency, sir.
Jacoby Merhoose: Excellent. Prepare the ship for a weapons test.
Kwaeng: Yes sir.
(The Jupiter’s Jewel turns 65 degrees to starboard. A muted thump is heard as a pressure torpedo on the port side fires. The torpedo continues on for 1850 meters, until it hits the faux submarine that had been positioned there for this test. The submarine, crippled, is dragged to the dark depths by gravity.)
Jacoby Merhoose: I can’t see through the murky waters at this depth. Did we succeed?
Kwaeng: According to the data gathered by sensors before the detonation, the torpedo succeeded beyond all expectations. Indeed, our sensor buoys, even those positioned a kilometer away, registered the impact of the pressure wave.
Jacoby Merhoose: Perfect.
(Dorothy returns to the bridge. She hands the Governor a glass of Champagne)
Dorothy: How was the test, sir?
Jacoby Merhoose: It was a success. It was a resounding success, in fact. Now, what with our new Navy & the forts established on the Florida Peninsula, Europa's control over the Gulf is absolute.
