July 1 | Here is an outline of the DOE' Budget Estimate for F.Y. 2017-2018 GDP Growth Rate: 5.8, the second highest in Pres. Marc CS.GS 's term Revenues: $3.54T Expenditures: $3.96T (mostly on infrastructures & education) Total Deficit: -$922B (-10.6% to GDP) 1 | The Central Bank of Auscania revealed the new banknote design proposal for the 2020 circulation (10th year anniversary) that features the new image of Auscania in urban planning, agriculture, sports, biodiversity, science/engineering, and architecture/fine arts. The proposal also introduced the first-ever multi-colored §100 as a tribute to Auscanians fighting for equal human rights. The final decision on the design proposal will be determined by 2019. For now, the existing banknotes are still valid until 2022. 5 | The host city Sydwyn is more than prepared for the upcoming Continental Games in 2020. Accommodating 21 official sports and more than 3000 athletes from around and outside the Cransian continent, the redevelopment of the newly-named Continental Park is expected to be finished by the end of 2019. The city government's efficient plan to reuse all of the park's facilities rather than building new venues (except for the new athletes' village) makes the Sydwyn the first city to host the Games twice, the least-expensive host city (with only 3.4 billion budget), and the first sustainable host city in Cransia. August 9 | A new evaluation for the F.Y. 2018-2019 was announced after the SQ government successfully ended the five-year economic growth assessment with the last rate of 5.8. This two-week initial evaluation will start on September 3 before the permanent six-month assessment from the ALSF is officially given. Its purpose and procedures have not been discussed yet, but the SQ government is ready for it. 16 | After President Marc http://CS.GS 's announcement to end his term next year, the Commission on Elections is now preparing for the Presidential and Senatorial Elections 2019, as well as the Hebrinian secessionists. The Matured Brinsland Party (MBP), United Brinsland Party (UBP), and Canaporean Independence Party (CIP) intensified their movement on independence, and they are going to support whoever recognize their independence. However, the United Auscanian Party is not one of their choices since Marc http://CS.GS is the UAP's current president. According to some political analysts, the 2019 Presidential Elections will be chaotic as the voters will be divided into pro- and anti-Hebrinian independence. Also, there will be a rivalry of senatorial slots among the majority parties, but the most affected are the UAP and Auscanian Liberal Party (ALP). 20 | The Cakeland President is flying to Sydwyn this week to discuss the TransCransia 2040 Project and make an agreement with the SQ government. The TransCransia 2040 is a road project that envisions a strong terrestrial economic connection across the Cransian continent. This proposal replaces the abandoned KJ Canal 2025 proposal, an ambitious artificial south-to-north waterway from Fraine to Lichania. According to XKZ President's Spokesperson, the proposed trade routes will start from the northern points of Cakeland and Cutland down to the coasts of Auscania and Bonevil, making it one of the longest roads in the world. The funding for the infrastructure will be allocated by the countries that agreed on the proposal. Meanwhile, the DPWTC's state-to-state highway in Mainland Auscania and Weginson is still on-going and is expected to be finished by 2020. 21 | The city of Guineveere now started the construction of pavilions for the First Cransian Exposition 2021 with the theme "Shaping the New Future of Cransian Society." The exposition will be attended by 16 countries featuring their own innovations. The Auscania is expected to showcase the great architecture and sustainable urban planning of the country. 24 | UCTW: Here is the 2017 Corruption Perception Index of Cransia. SWI, NOR, and CTR maintained their low corruption rate with a line of nine, while ASC's score goes down by 0.5; ranking behind the impressive GIB and tied with ELG. Unfortunately, CNO is the most corrupt that year. 31 | DPWTC: The Department of Public Works released the first Mainland Auscanian National Rail Route Diagram that includes the proposed Trans-Cransia 2040 and the still-under-construction projects. For a high-quality view, here's the PDF document link: http://docdro.id/4RxiLji September 20 | DoSci: The Hurricane "Gayena" in Northeast Cransia has caused massive flooding in the Kent Island, North and South Harbor, as well as in Canapore and the southern provinces of Norgesdan. This is by far the most destructive storm in 2018. 25 | President Marc CS.GS supported the Cakeland's TransCransia 2040 scheme. On the bilateral meeting, the proposals for Castria-Auscania-Bonevil connection was discussed and elaborated, with the construction period expected to start by 2021. Meanwhile, multimodal transportation is also envisioned for Fraine-Auscanian connection; however, it is secluded from the said project. 25 | Part of the 2019's government transition, President Marc CS.GS signed an Act that reorganizes the seven principal departments of the executive branch into nine including the independent agencies. Changes include the separation of the Dept. of Sports from the renamed Dept. of Education, Culture & Arts (DECA), as well as the Dept. of Justice from the Dept. of Civilian Security, Democracy & Development (DCSDD). The DOA's Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ARRD) joined with the DCSDD, while the research services, food security, and nutrition council are now under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST). October 18 | The SQ government started the fiscal year with a failure due to the ALSF's two-week evaluation last September 14. According to DOE, the low production rate of the secondary sector resulted in a poor review from ALSF, which delayed the authorization period and worsened the over-all performance of the country for the first quarter. Nonetheless, in cooperation with the HC, the government is still working on improvements for the remaining quarters. 20 | The Commissions on Elections (COE) launches the "SQGE 2019: The Reflection of New Auscania" theme for the Executive and Legislative Elections on June 2019. The theme emphasizes the election as a significant event to choose an individual that reflects a true Auscanian leader and public servant. The logo also features the national flag formed into a ballot box which represents the security of voters' rights and embracing change. Apart from the launching, the COE formally opened the filing of candidacies and nominees of party-list groups last week. 20 | President Marc CS.GS and his family were planning to conduct a house blessing into the new Square Palace on the Founding Anniversary Celebration on November 12. Designed by no other -- the President, this six-story "circular" Square Palace will be the official residence of the first family of Auscania separated from the existing executive complex.
The Palace features the 50m-diameter dome with an oculus for the natural lighting of the house, an indoor swimming pool, double Clementine columns, and the Grand Nassia Clementina statue. The construction spanned three years, with a total cost of five million sand dollars. January 9 | Auscania passed the RA, having the 2017-2018 1st and 2nd quarter economic growth of 4.6 27 | Castria replaced Auscania as Cransia’s country of the year (2017), the first new nation in history Infographics | The 10 Most Powerful Cransian Nations in Military February 10 | Redantic tension arises as the drought started again brought by climate change 19-24 | the Department of Culture launched the first Sydwyn Art Week 28 | the Department of Tourism unveiled the official 2018 tourism slogan of Auscania, #ExploreNewHorizons March 16 | President Marc CS.GS attended the second annual Auscanian Building and Construction Exposition (SQBEX) 2018 held in World Trade Center-Sydwyn hosting numerous local, intercontinental, and international exhibitors for business transactions and the showcasing of innovations in the building and construction industry. With over a hundred booths featured, thousands of attendees, and partnerships with different countries in Cransia, such as Castria, Swirgesdan, Norgesdan, Brusselands, Cakeland, Bonevil, Czhervony, and Fraine, the exposition became successful with the events on conferences, workshops, and live demos. The SQBEX is the main highlight of the 5th National Architecture Week ran from March 12 to 17, 2018. 22 | The Cnolian government is being attacked again by the Redantian and Mosqian communities after the House Bill that declares their secession was dismissed. The tension continued when the government started to militarize and destroy their lands during a cholera outbreak in April, and the number of deaths increased by 80 percent. The United Cransia conducted a meeting with Cnolian President Dagliyev to hear his side regarding the socio-political issues with Redantia and Mosqia, and address the spread of cholera in Cnolia and its neighboring countries. April 4 | On the day of Independence, Pres. Marc CS.GS signed the Indigenous People's Right Act of 2015 that recognizes and promotes the rights of indigenous people and their domains across Auscania, establishes a commission under the Department of Culture, and appropriates funds for them. The creation of this Act is intended to protect the twelve dominant ethnic groups from the gradual acceleration and expansion of economic developments in 46 federal states happening since 2013. In this act also includes the strict protection of the reduced 7,000-hectare Reserved Exclaves of Auscania (REA) after the 7,000-hectare land was taken by the PH for business purposes last year. 23 | The Council is now drafting a house bill that establishes a youth council to represent the counties (localities) in Auscania and participate in community affairs, local governance and nation-building; performs an election for a three-year term, and appropriate funds for the development of youth council. The draft is being praised already by several people for its intention to uplift the youth's relevance towards communities and their awareness on social issues through partnerships with the county chairmen and mayors, and creating local ordinances. The deadline for the first reading on the House level is on June 23. May 9 | The SQ economic growth is expected to grow higher than the previous semester (4.6250) after the country passed the requirement for RA, RZL, ANTR, and NOCE. According to the Department of Economics Secretary James P.GS he is optimistic that the economic return will be paid off as the 60 percent of the national economy received a very satisfactory rating which is different from the barely satisfactory in the Storm of 2017 due to the effects of low production and quality of goods. The results will be officially released on the last day of June, and this will be the final economic evaluation for the BSA level. 9 | President Marc CS.GSnow completed his five-year course of BS Architecture with pride in University of Centro after his thesis proposal on the rehabilitation of the heritage complex in Baralia became one of the best thesis in his batch. Baralia is part of the country's Reserved Exclaves of Auscania (REA) located in the PH with its 6-hectare complex consisting of Art deco structures built in the late 1930s. Envisioned to be an interactive tourism destination, his thesis features the three zones for historical museums, recreational spaces, and eco-tourism. Part of the Baralian Tourism Development expansion is a central business district, community village, and government and research centers. Meanwhile, President Marc CS.GS officially announced his retirement in 2019 as he decided to focus himself on the lower positions, specifically the Public Works, Transportation, and Communications Department. According to him, he wants to practice his specialization in tourism, architecture, and urban planning, along with his colleague, Finn A.CD. Despite the decision, he will still supervise the present infrastructure projects including the 2020 Continental Games to be held in Sydwyn, Baralian Tourism Developments, and the new Square Palace. 16 | The Auscanian representative Marcy's "Clementine" won in the Cransvoice 2018 after it got a total 323 points from the juries and televote. The 32-point gap from Cakeland makes it the first non-English song and the second-consecutive time for Auscania to win in the said contest. The song is inspired by the famous local legend, Clementine -- the goddess of love, and used the Alban language to this masterpiece. The victory of Auscania in the Cransvoice has caused the country to host its fourth edition in Sydwyn again. June 17 | President Marc CS.GS finally signed the Marriage Equality Act of 2013 that legalizes the same-sex marriage and recognizes the same-sex couple’s rights and opportunities, including the right to live together, share wealth or property, acquire and raise a child, and access government benefits, employment, and taxes. This Act was passed last December 23 with 304 votes from the House of Representatives and 62 votes from the Senate. The signing of law will be followed by the support from the neighboring Cransian countries, celebrations in local areas, and lighting of the Four Pillars in rainbow colors in the evening. The Auscania is the first country in Cransia to legalize the same-sex marriage. 17 | The Department of Agriculture and Department of Science are gearing up for the joint venture project of the proposed three National Seedbanks in Mainland, Haewon, and Brinsland that serves as conservation and research facility for the heirloom seeds in the country and propagation and supply area for the continuous production of seedlings. This has been an effort by the current SQ administration to protect and preserve the endemic plant species due to climate change, and improve the agriculture in the country. This project is almost similar to Norway's Global Seed Vault and Australia's Millennium Seed Bank.
Meanwhile, the Department of Science is also reserving the budget on the rehabilitation of the ANSA's National Observatory in Waleston for the incoming fiscal year. How Auscania ends the year 2017? Instead of the traditional Remembrance Day where it highlights the memorable events happened in the country in a particular year, today, this article will give you the last quarter updates regarding the national and continental issues.
The Storm of 2017 The Auscanian economy remains to decline since the start of the fiscal year with a tremendous overspending on infrastructures, food security, and education. But the storm of 2017 started in the second week of December when RA did not meet the requirements needed to achieve the growth for the first semester, as stated by the Department of Economics (DOE). According to Secretary James P.GS, the effects of low production and quality of goods have caused the two-thirds of 60 percent of the national economy to receive a barely satisfactory rating; thus, the remaining one third should not fall short on poor or failed rating. Otherwise, this may affect not only the annual revenue of the government for the next fiscal year’s budget but also the economic status of the Auscania as a developed nation. Furthermore, it can be more devastating as much as the Summer Stress of 2013. The DOE anticipates the final evaluation of RA on January 2018, along with the other countries affected by this crisis such as Bisthania, Cakeland, Cartegal, Cnolia, Corland, Czhervony, Guillmane, and Kosvia. Redantic Independence from Cnolia The six-month civil war between Redantic people and the Cnolian government temporarily discontinued after the issue was raised in the United Cransia last November. According to President Dagliyev of Cnolian government, he has already conducted a bilateral talk with the Redantic Independence Leader Fermin Cidea regarding taking the steps towards social cohesiveness of the Cnolian minorities. However, Cidea demanded the President to officially declare the secession of the Redantia from Cnolia as he does not believe that the government will protect the minority’s rights under Dagliyev’s rule. Furthermore, he also states that the independence of Redantia will be a win-win situation for both parties as the government does not need to displace and kill his fellow Redantics. The Cnolian government responded to his requests and stated that the Bill, drafted by RP Lussia Regin, is now on the House level. Greater Sydwyn Fourteen The Greater Sydwyn Council (GSC) plans to reduce the number of 25 cities and towns down to the selected 14. The goal of the plan is to reorganize them as preparation for the declaration of autonomy of the Greater Sydwyn, under the Autonomy of the Capital States Act, which was signed by President Marc CS.GS last November 17. The Act also includes the autonomy for New Hogdane and Gapsdain. The Autonomy of the Capital States Act is in some way similar to an Act granting the Canapore Metropolitan Authority to govern the Cana Freeport Zone autonomously. The Greater Sydwyn is divided into four districts. The Central Sydwyn will represent the Lone District; Fendin, Holgate, Pique, and Port Clementy will belong to the Coastal District; Centro, Flueia, Nasgrad, Paxton, and Roswell will be the District II, and; Finnegan Square, Henox, Royam, and Ryce will be the District III. New Tourism Slogan The Department of Tourism (DOT) will finally unveil the 2018 tourism slogan of the Auscania on their official Twitter accounts after their success on “Bikini: No wonder, my favorite,” which was launched in 2015. “The concept of the new tourism slogan comes from the effect of revitalizing the identity of the country as Auscania. It emphasizes a simple tagline but embraces much of the feelings of everyone,” Tourism Secretary Finn A.CD said. He also added that beyond competition, the primary role of a tourism slogan should be the passport of the people towards new experience and the souvenir to be cherished "forever." The proposed slogans underwent several evaluations from the public, this includes the “Auscania as always,” “Auscania: Your new home,” “Auscania: A place in your heart,” and “Auscania: Destined to be here.” Meanwhile, aside from the promotion of the new tagline is the DOT is already prepared for the expected arrival of numerous visitors for the upcoming Cransvoice 2018 and Continental Games 2020 to be held both in Sydwyn. Same-Sex Marriage in Auscania: Could it possibly happen? In 2016, Auscania became the most LGBT-tolerant in Cransia, with 46 percent of the surveyed people accept the LGBT in the society, while the 43 percent considered homosexuality is not a moral issue. Despite the overwhelming results of the survey, does that refer to the stage of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the country? Several attempts were made to raise the issue of same-sex marriage through local polls, debates, and house bills. Furthermore, eleven Same-Sex Marriage Bill amendments were made between 2013 and 2017; only on December 23 when the House of Representatives passed the Bill by 304 votes to 51 and Senate by 62 votes to 11. The bill emphasizes more the essence of the same-sex couple’s rights and opportunities as equal as the married couples, including the right to live together, share wealth or property, acquire and raise a child, and access government benefits, employment, and taxes. The final approval will go to the hands of the SQ President, which to be determined in January. Special Announcement: Our deep condolences to the families and friends of former DACIS Secretary John S.MN. who passed away last December 18 at the age of 27 due to suicide. Depression is the possible cause of his suicide, which is also one of the main health problems in Auscania. The 12th of November 2017 is the seventh year of establishment of the Auscanian Republic and Cransia. Celebrations from different parts of the country and the continent have been organized, with festive events and speeches from the government. With all of these commemorations, what happened in Auscania and Cransia after the first-quarter redefinition?
Economic Status The half-semester of the economic status of Auscania remains on the government's high expectation but is experiencing minor downfalls brought by tremendous funding on infrastructures, food security, and education; added by low production and exportation rate of goods. After the repayment of the 2016-2017, the national government's debts are still increasing, with 600 billion as of today and counting. Despite that, strengthening good relations with the neighboring countries is the key strategy of the Auscanian government to maintain its developed economies, such as Fraine, Castria, Brusselands, Swirgesdan, and Cutland. The SQ government is also eyeing on the possible territories outside the continent, wherein it can contribute to the global development of the country. There are speculations saying that the Philippines is the target of colonization as the SQ and PH are currently having political tension. Socio-cultural Tension The Auscanian government gradually became successful in strengthening the cultural understanding of different states after major adjustment made by the declaration of the country's new name. It manifested in their sense of belonging wherein 77 percent believes that the government is doing their effort to make other states receive equal rights. Meanwhile, however, on its counterparts specifically in Cnolia and Kosvia, human rights crisis is happening as the persecution of Redantic people continues to kill hundred thousands of civilians since May 2017. Redantic people are a Muslim minority of Cnolia with a population of over 5 million, ordered to be displaced and killed by the government due to their threats to the cultural and economic stability, and territorial acquisition in the country. The Redantic genocide is being done through famine, drowning, burning and mass shooting which results in an average of 100 dead civilians every day. "White masking," "web traps," "graphite boundaries," and "moat" also became the specified terms related to the genocide. According to the Cnolian President, these baseless allegations "are not made by the government" as they, in fact, embrace the cultural diversity of the country. "These genocides are just made by the 'terrorists' who want to make the Cnolia down... we condemn these actions... the Cnolian government is making military plans to eradicate the number of terrorists who are entering in this country," President Dagliyev stated. On the other side, the remaining Redantic communities do not believe in his statement, saying that the 'terrorists' Dagliyev is referring to are the members of the Cnolian government, including him; thus they must be the one to be eradicated in the country. This crisis has been raised in the United Cransia, involving Dagliyev's Intercontinental Affairs Secretary, as the representative of Cnolia. For now, the Redantic minority will continue to experience inhumane treatments, and the refugees will still migrate in the countries of Brusselands, Castria, Chevia, Lichania, and Cakeland's Kascherland. Despite the ironic situation happening not only in Auscania but also in different parts of the Cransian continent, the government and the United Cransian leaders still step up to mitigate the crises. As President Marc, CS.GS of Auscania stated at the United Cransia Headquarters in Howorth, New Hogdane regarding progress and identity: "In the strengthened cultural attributes, inclusive society, and cohesive economic development, there manifest the progress of Auscania. And as we continue to achieve them, there reflects our unified identity as Auscanians and Cransians." The most-awaited second edition of Cransvoice Song Contest 2017 was held for three days in Muettograne after the winning of Lichania's entry "This Night" sung by Ivan Donnel in 2016. This event was participated by the 23 countries in Cransia, including Auscania's Trigons with the song "Night Lights" who lead the rankings of the first semi-final, followed by Cakeland's Nikolay Andreikov with the song "Untouchable." Both two countries had a tight battle in the Grand Finale held at Detuva Arena yesterday. Meanwhile, Anthony Cipriani's Dharma of Bisthania ranked first in the second semi-final. Surprisingly, there is no Wildcard Round held in this year's competition, and it will possibly not continue on the next run. According to the CSC's decision, the last slot for the Finale is only now given to the country who won the previous competition -- and that was Lichania, with their song "Point." At the Grand Finale, Auscania, who performed 10th, got the highest position in the jury voting with 152 points, followed by Cakeland and Bisthania with 148 and 138 points respectively. However, at the televoting, Cakeland scored 158 points, so close with the Auscania's 156 and Bisthania's 152. These numbers reflected on the total votes, making Auscania the winner of Cransvoice 2017 with 308 points, then Cakeland who finished second with 300 and Bisthania with 290 as the third highest. The narrow gap between the first two countries was the second time since the Lichania-Auscania's 2-points in 2016. Lichania who also won the televoting. This is the Auscania's first winning in this contest and the second time to place in the Top 6 (Dana Lee's Awakened Heart). That means also the Sydwyn will be the host city for the next year's edition.
Again, Congratulations to Trigons of Auscania! The Republic of Auscania embraced 2017 with a new identity and perspective of change in the lives of the people towards a globally-inclusive and diverse nation. However, the country already lost its presence in the first-quarter of the year, with no any trace of news and announcement in their websites. What happened to Auscania in her year of redefinition? Does this year become worse to the country or not? Economy: Higher Expectations April The budget for the F.Y. 2016-2017 has been reduced from $3.5 trillion to only $3 trillion with total expenditures of $2.6 trillion. Despite higher spending compared to the previous percentage of 73%, for the two-consecutive-year record, an impressive budget surplus was still achieved, with -14 of GDP. On the other hand, the actual discretionary expenditures of the Auscania reflect on the government's goal to make the economic growth higher. The assessment hasn't released yet but is expecting to meet the 7-8 average rate. However, the government's $900 billion on construction, transportation, and telecommunication industries clearly manifest overspending according to the 2016-2017 Fiscal Year Budget released, with almost 2/3 of the discretionary expenditures were allocated. Social and Political: Auscania-Hebrinian tension
late February Despite the celebration of its new identity, the social and political sector of the SQ's four lands remained divided. According to Haewon Governor Eugene, O.CO., the government's system has unconsciously gradually dissolved the federal constitution by being centralized on few wealthy states, bringing to a more complicated, unjust and incompetent treatment towards the farthermost states of the country. This tension between them has turned into a demand to secede Brinsland and Haewon from Mainland last March in which was associated with the birth of Autonomous City-State of Canapore last year. Institutional: Pres. Marc CS.GS' Retirement April Although it is not yet formally announced to the public, President Marc CS.GS. decided to retire on 2018 to focus on his architecture career and leave the country on 2021 for good. There is a rumor that the President's decision is his first plan to rule the Greater Sydwyn, as the state also demanded full independence from the Mainland. Eyeing the retirement of Pres. Marc CS.GS., the Auscanians now question the appearance of Joseph PCL.GS. in the Square Palace. Joseph PCL.GS. is the President's colleague for almost four years and a descendant of the Clementine's, one of the country's well-known families who ruled the Alban under Solovonian Empire. He resided at the Port Clementy on July 23, 2013, to pursue his bachelor's degree in architecture in the country. According to some speculations, he will be the possible successor to Marc's presidency. Others March The phasing out of passports and demonetization of old banknotes were implemented last March, while the new designs did not also pass through minimal alterations on the embedded information as they need to be updated. Conclusion The first quarter of 2017 was already a tough year for the Auscanians as they met and embraced the real challenges and opportunities of the financial and socio-political aspects. The circumstances they are experiencing today may happen frequently, but rest assured that the SQ government will stabilize its pillars towards the future of a matured Republic of Auscania. December 31 - The Canaporean citizens will now welcome 2017 with a victory after the Council passed the bill that declares Canapore as the first autonomous city-state in Auscania and Cransian continent. The act was also immediately signed by President Marc, CS.GS into law to announce it to the public by afternoon in Mainland Time.
Hundreds of Canaporeans were gathered in JSD Stadium to celebrate the announcement, shown in LED screen. The decision took four months of disagreement between the Canapore Metropolitan Authority (CPMA) Chairman Joseph, CAN, and the Square Palace, particularly Joseph's statement on Auscanian government's biased treatment towards the south. Despite that, The Council remained focused on the bill's intention to extend the Canaporean's freedom of association within the city-state. The Cana Freeport Zone plays a significant role in the development of trade and industry in North Harvson, as well as in Juniorland itself. Meanwhile, Joseph was very glad about the Council's decision. He states that despite political separation, the relationship with Auscania will never last, and wishes everyone a "Happy New Year." The Ferdinand Marcos' heroes burial in the Philippines has led the Auscanian government to express their dismay towards Pres. Duterte administration and cut off all diplomatic ties with the said country. According to the Pres. Spokesperson, the TPOAR can't stand a country with a system that only promotes historical revisionism and ignorance to the law. It is an insult for the Filipinos to bury a plunderer and human rights violator on a heroes' park that is more deserving to the victims -- the real heroes -- of Martial Law.
"We may not be the victims of Martial Law nor the Filipinos themselves, but as we have concern for the humanity, we will stand on our decision to cut off our diplomatic ties," the Pres. Spokesperson stated. The Auscania is a home of the hundred thousands of Filipino immigrants. Regarding some concerns on protests against the government, the spokesperson added, "If our Filipino immigrants will be against us, that's fine. They are just affected because they're still Filipinos by heart. But they must understand first our decision. We always believe in truth and justice." Meanwhile, as to support the government's decision, all Auscanian flags are half-masted. There are some reports of protests against the administration, but the TPOAR assures this will not end to violence. Millions of people gathered at the Square Palaces of Greater Sydwyn and New Hogdane, and Central Dukesdain's Auxburn Palace to celebrate the 6th anniversary of United Cransia and the Establishment of the country with their new identity as Auscanians. President Marc CS.GS formally declared the Auscanian Republic as the official name of the country and awarded Saccharin Martins an honor medallion to recognize his contribution to the society. President Marc CS.GS also delivered his remarkable yet intriguing speech about humanity and foreign relations. "Due to several issues and conflicts that arise around the world, the frustrations keep coming to us in which, positively, they give us the momentum to continue to uphold the citizen's aspirations, and create a better life without anxiety." "To declare a new name is to pronounce a new identity for humanity; a new home for those who are struggled by social inequalities, and a bridge for those who seek intellectual escalation, equal opportunities, and tolerance of diversity. The Republic of Auscania and the United Cransian countries assures that our place will build a neighborhood and not a pit of discrimination and violence." "It may not be perfect as everyone's dream, but together with our four-pillar principles, we can make a venue of encouragement, unity, and progress for the individuals of today and tomorrow. " "The change has come. But then, we must not let others occupy our minds with fears and doubts; with greediness and arrogance. Let us continue to step forward, help everyone in building peace, and live our lives with dignity!" His speech draws several analyses and interpretations from his audience, saying it was relevant to the recent situations in US Elections and PH's System. Despite those issues, the government peacefully conduct the flag raising ceremony in which featured a new flag with two bars. The inverted blue-yellow orange flag was announced official after the protocol created by the United Cransia. It symbolizes the equality of the northern and southern lands of Auscania, creating one nation that embraces diversity. Meanwhile, the current one will be the variant flag.
Singing "Our Dear Auscania Land" closed the ceremony, which was played by the Sydwyn Philharmonic Orchestra. The Twilight Party continued with live concerts, dance numbers, and fireworks displays. The event peacefully ended at 10pm. Meanwhile, the 6th United Cransian's Day also celebrated by the other 24 members of the organization in New Hogdane Headquarters. The #SQ06 and #Auscania became the top Twitter trends in the country. With the objective of unifying all countries within the continental zone, the United Cransia encourages the 25 countries to participate in the flag changing. The design and choice of colors may vary - can be retained or alter from the current ones - but the guidelines set must follow the plainness of the flag so it would be easy to duplicate, and its square shape.
The flag raising will be on November 12, as part of the United Cransian's Day celebration. Already altered the flag last year, the Bikini will make adjustments again for the sixth time. The government now concern on the actions that may cause, particularly the misrepresentation and confusion for all the citizens. Almost every year, the country changes its national anthem, flag, and even its name (which the Auscania won the referendum this year). "The aim to create plainness and squareness of the flag is possible. However, the symbolisms of identity that we celebrated the 5th year anniversary become all irrelevant due to the organization's order," according to one historian. Added, "But for the sake of the 'unity' that they are saying, the country will still participate, and that's the final." |
