THE DIRIC SUN

THE DIRIC SUN Official government news, written by Carter Trevin, published by InCom and the Democratic Republic of Rilicon Diric-Seoul, Diric City Province — October 2142 InCom Offer Sparks Heat Against the Republic On October 12, 2142, InCom offered a military contract to Tejas, a state of the United States of Thessara. Tejas has prided itself on military autonomy for generations, holding strong at Thessara’s southern border against waves of Afflicted. Recently, these incursions have become stronger and harder to hold back, and more recently, the Afflicted have begun to overpower Tejas’s military ability to hold them back. As the conflict has escalated, the federal government has become more and more concerned with defending Tejas and its citizens. Tejas has railed against these advances, claiming that Thessara is trying to take away their military autonomy, and enforce a stronger federal power in the state. In an attempt to provide aid without provoking unnecessary suspicion, InCom went directly to the state of Tejas to offer its military aid. if InCom had gone to the Thessaran federal government, it’s a real possibility that Tejas would’ve believed InCom was on Thessara’s side, instead of believing InCom is providing the resources out of kindness. InCom did not offer its aid to cause any distress to Thessara or Tejas. They only wished to provide humanitarian aid to Tejas, and in turn, help Thessara. InCom has no current plans to start a conflict with Thessara, and a military contract is not an opening act of war. InCom wishes to help without Tejas believing InCom is trying to take control for the federal government.

ASTREUM ITO AND HIS CABINET RESIGN

Official government news, written by Carter Trevin, published by the Democratic Republic of Rilicon

Diric-Seoul, Diric City Province — April 2145

THE DIRIC SUN

On April 24th, Astreum Ito, along with Sabian Kerberbur and Slaevian Sabar, all announced their resignation from their office. Many other officials also resigned, with the only jobs remaining filled after the resignation being DHS director, filled by Victor Crosswell, and Minister of Health Edward Vasher.

Astreum and his cabinet said they would continue to perform their roles until their replacements are chosen, and afterwards will end their terms in the Blue House. When questioned by reporters, they all had similar responses. This is the interview between reporter Elena Callaway and President Ito.

Elena: “So, President Ito, why did you decide to resign, and why did your cabinet resign with you?”

Ito: “Well, you see, I’ve been president for 20 years, and I’ve formed deep bonds with the people in my cabinet and around it. I just feel I can’t remain just and unbiased concerning the current events in this country. I had a good run as president, but now is when the people need to use their democratic rights to elect a new representative”

Elena: “But sir, you were just recently re-elected, why resign now?”

Ito: “I was re-elected out of fear of change, but now I am in a position I should not be in. I’m in between choosing a friend and choosing what’s good for this country, and my hesitation shows I’m not fit to govern this nation any longer.”

After his interview, President Ito released a statement declaring a new election period, due to his Vice President also stepping down. The new candidates are Nathaniel Cross, the candidate who was running against Astreum in the recent election, and Elias Thornton, one of Astreum’s close supporters.

Nathaniel Cross, who is also a major player in the stock market, is running on supporting businesses, and forming strong trade deals with other nations.

Elias Thornton, on the other hand, is running on rebuilding the nation and establishing welfare programs for those still in need after Rilicon’s recent re-establishment.

Also, for the first time in Riliconian history, the vote of addition to the “Statue House” is called.

In Riliconian history, if over 70% of the voting population feels the president and his cabinet lead the country prosperously, then a statue of said president is added to the Statue House, and a plaque with the name of everyone on their cabinet is placed under the statue. Due to Astreum’s unique long standing presidential status, no president has come before him.

Voting ends on May 1st, and as of yet, over half of the population has already voted. Out of those who voted, 85% feel Astreum led the nation in a fit manner, and some even left paragraphs speaking on how well Astreum governed. In a show of honor, both Elias Thornton and Nathaniel Cross publicly voted “Yes” to add Astreum to the Statue House.

Overall, the reporters here at the Diric Sun cast our own vote, and 95% of the people believe Astreum Ito was a fitting president.

I had the honor of personally talking to Astreum Ito. He was respectful, kind, and knew his way around an interview and debate. I’m glad I had the honor of meeting him.

In Respect of Astreum Ito, His Contributions to the DRR Will Not Be Forgotten.

B1 BATTLE DROIDS USED IN DRUG BUST

Official government news, written by Carter Trevin, published by the Democratic Republic of Rilicon

Diric-Seoul, Diric City Province — April 2145

THE DIRIC SUN

In the CCSI, the police have been investigating key individuals known to be affiliated with a gang distributing illegal substances to those who desire them. These individuals eventually led the authorities to an abandoned warehouse near the outskirts of the CCSI.

Due to the size of the operation, the InCom defense department was contacted, and asked for assistance on the issue.

The police on the case were expecting some military personnel, and were instead met by a sleek white robot leading 20 brown, skeletal-looking droids.

“I can still remember how it introduced itself.” Darrel Conver, the lead investigator on the case, said. “It said ‘Hello, I am C1-F, also known as The Fencer.’ It was both cool, and unsettling. It then continued to command the droids following it, I think they were called B1s, into four groups of five. The amount of discipline. I know they’re programmed to listen, but they did exactly what he said, without any questions or flaws.”

Darrel led them to the warehouse, and the leading droid took control from there. He commanded police units into strategic positions, and the B1s were ordered into similar positions. Finally, when the bust took place, the criminals were perfectly cornered, and surrendered themselves.

“I was scared that thing was going to take my job.” Darrel laughs, “It was amazing how coordinated it was. It seems like a waste of potential if it’s only used for police business. And the fear tactics of those B1s. The men in that room were visibly terrified by the skeletal look of those droids. All in all, I’m impressed by just how well the main one handled the situation.”

These droids were engineered by Adrian Voss, the head of InCom’s Technological Science department, who made the blueprint for their chassis and designed their AI. When we attempted to question him, he rolled away on his chair, stated he has “work to do, and if we’re so interested, we can go interview Fencer ourselves.”

As of yet, we have not gotten an interview with the droid. We have one planned for the 30th of this month.

ASTREUM ITO ADDED TO STATUE HOUSE

Official government news, written by Carter Trevin, published by the Democratic Republic of Rilicon

Diric-Seoul, Diric City Province — May 2145

THE DIRIC SUN

On May 1st, the polls were closed on former president Astreum Ito’s vote to be added to the Statue House.

After the votes were counted, it was a 90% vote that Astreum Ito be added to the Statue House, and his statue forever standing as a memorial to Astreum and his presidency.

The 90% was voting citizens, with only 10% voting that he should not be added, and 20% of registered voters choosing not to.

As a result, Astreum had a party at the steps of the Blue House to thank the citizens of the nation. The party had a crowd of over 250,000 people, crowding the streets surrounding the presidential office, and the people were expecting a speech from interim president Astreum.

A guard positioned a large podium and microphone at the top of the steps, in front of the Blue House.

The people were expecting a speech.

They instead got a personal introduction from members of Ito’s cabinet.

Slaevian Sabar, the interim head ambassador, Sabian Kerberbur, interim minister of logic, and other members of Ito’s cabinet walked past the podium, until Astreum himself walked down the steps and into the crowd.

Astreum and his former cabinet walked through the crowd, introducing themselves and accepting questions from citizens. They continued through the crowd for the rest of the party, which lasted for approximately 6 hours.

“I was surprised,” one citizen said, “I expected the president to be intimidating, but he was actually quite approachable.”

Another citizen said:

“I wasn’t expecting the ambassador to be so good with kids. I watched him, and he looked pretty young himself, and he was just leading a crowd of kids around, all of them seeming so happy just to walk behind him as he talked about whatever he was talking about.”

Yet another citizen had this to say about head of DHS:

“I don’t really know about him. He was kinda jumpy, and was always watching over the kids. I guess I’m glad he’s the head of DHS, where making sure the kids are fine, but he just seemed paranoid.”

I was personally there, and can attest to the way the ministers and president were acting. I also personally spoke to each of them, and they were very approachable and respectful.

I believe this was the perfect way for the interim president to celebrate his presidency before finally giving it to a new candidate. The election process for the new president will start May 7th, and end October 7th.
