Dissolution of Schools for Lazy Citizens

An announcement by the Bureau for Information Management

Ivan Mihailov announced this week that adolescents and younger members of less gifted and economically productive families will be reallocated from their school programs into a setting that better suits their mental capabilities. These citizens, through the pursuit of economically helpful work like farming and manufacturing, are greatly progressing the values set forth by Horia Sima when he took power from the bloody tyrants that came before him. It is important that all citizens between the ages of 8 and 17 meet at their local schools this Monday in order to be relocated based on their physical and mental talents. We will be broadcasting this message through town loudspeakers for those of the group that are not able to read. If any of you more naturally economically productive citizens hear or see any citizens trying to abstain from reporting please report it to your local police so that the matter can be taken care of quickly.

Construction of Third Nuclear Power Plant Completed

An announcement by the Bureau for Information Management

The Bureau of Power has officially opened the third nuclear power plant in the last year, pushing forward the plans for complete nuclear power dependence by the year 2020. The speed and stability of these buildings is in large part thanks to you Bulthlandans who have worked around the clock to make sure that they are operational in a timely manner. This only proves that we do not need to depend on the cheap, foreign labor that was once forced upon us by past regimes. This plant will power the majority of the rural regions surrounding Pokat, putting an end to the power curfews that were required to power the integral institutions within Bulthland Lura. This extra electricity will allow our workers to put in more hours with both farming and manufacturing, meaning an economic boon should be just around the corner. We will continue to keep you updated with information regarding further construction and would like to invite any of our highly gifted citizens to apply for positions within the new power plant.

Ivan Mihailov Announces Full Support for Aglrinia

An announcement by the Bureau for Information Management

The following message was broadcast by Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov late last night, directly after meeting with his Upper Council to discuss the recent happenings in the nation of Aglrinia. We are aware that you all heard the broadcasts both on your televisions and over the loudspeakers, but it has been requested that we reissue his statement in print for the purposes of longevity, clarity, and support for our brothers of the faith:

My True Bulthlandans,

We are well aware of the problems that bloody, hateful democracies can cause within a nation. We experienced these actions firsthand when the presidents allowed our nation to slide into turmoil for two centuries before Horia Sima took a stand. We are more powerful, advanced, and united than ever before. We stand true to our faith and no longer have to fear the persecution that our ancestors faced during the reign of democracy. We have shielded ourselves from foreigners for the last few decades not only to preserve our economy and employment, but to shield our women and children's minds from being plagued by the crooked, warped ideals of outsiders. We have silently watched as countless citizens have been trapped in a system of democracy that cares nothing for them. It is with the most absolute pleasure that I inform you all of my full-fledged support for Mauta Kudu and the Caliphate that he has established in Aglrinia. It warms my heart to know that there is another leader on the world stage prepared to take power and do whatever it takes to preserve the integrity, strength, and unity of his nation. By taking power away from the parliament Caliph Kudu has shown a nationalistic spirit similar to that our great founder Horia Sima showed. He has instantly cracked down on molestation and rape in ways similar to our own, which we are hoping can provide the backbone for warmer relations in the future.

It is important for us to remain vigilant, however, because we do not know his intentions towards our true faith. Eastern Orthodoxy has provided us an earthly heaven free of the issues of the past. I have been chosen by God to be Horia's successor and I will continue to hold my mantle as the one, true prophet. Islam, while not perfect, is closer to our ideals and values than Catholics, Protestants, and Judaism. I have decided that it is important that they are able to remain as practitioners of their faith under the hope that it may someday bring them to the light of our own religion. It has been over a decade since we have allowed anyone to enter or leave our nation, and while I still believe that is critical, I have decided that now is the right time to invite a delegate from the Aglrinian Caliphate to visit with a delegate of ours in a neutral location.

Again, brothers, remember to stay true to your nation and your faith above all else. I hope that this change continues to ripple throughout the region and topple the democracies that continuously strangle their people and force them to accept unholy, sinful actions.

In God's Name,
Ivan Mihailov

Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov announces a new Diocese in Maittar

March 4, 2018

Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov announced last night that, after much consideration, he has decided to accept Maittar's request to open up a new holy diocese. He stated that this was not only because of his duty as a prophet but also because of his duty to help those poor souls in Maittar who have never had the opportunity to find the true word. This will be the first new diocese since the original maps were drawn in 1984, providing a massive chance for our word to finally be heard outside of our own borders. A new Patriarch has been ordained, someone who has relentlessly and continuously spread the word by any means necessary in the outermost reaches of our holdings. Patriarch Anatolius Vassily will be the spearhead we need to further spread the roots of our nation's congregation.

This news comes in light of the fact that Aglrinia, who we once believed to be a truly holy nation, failed to respond the venerated offer by our glorious Emperor. This proves that there is only one true religion that can lay claim to Auratus, and this new Diocese is a sign from God that we need to stretch out a hand to Maittar. Patriarch Anatolius will arrive tomorrow with a contingent of 100 priests, 115 deacons, 20 soldiers, and 5 Billion Fleurs to establish a residence that God can be proud of. Deacon Dmitri Rurikovich will be assigned to the capital building, chosen because of his decades of work within the capital of our beautiful nation. He will be the diplomatic ambassador of our people and we are positive that he will perform all of the tasks required of him to spread our mission even further.

Lastly, this wonderful news comes with an even greater benefit. Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov met with the Ecumenical Council of Patriarchs and they have decided to send the Omophorion of Saint Platon, said to have holy powers of healing and known for being martyred by the democrats during the waning years of their reign. They are sure that it will draw in and convince people to adopt the true, powerful word of God into their hearts and minds. It will show the lost sheep their way home to the Shepherd.

Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov announces a new Diocese in Scara; Holy Day for Saint Sima Accepted Internationally; Troops Ready to Deploy!

March 4, 2018

Your Holy Emperor has unveiled yet another amazing development on the international scale! Once more, a nation once considered to be heathenish and stalwart in their hatred for the word, has accepted more than just a diocese into their borders! The nation of Sacara has agreed to provide the church with 5 square miles of land to build a sovereign, holy city destined to bring greatness onto an entirely new continent. This development comes after the religious community of Sacara reached out to our Holy Emperor begging to be alleviated from the cruel, Islamic fanatics that are pressing in on Sacara. With just over 10,000,000 members of our church residing in Sacara, it is our holy duty to offer them protection no matter what the cost. Not only has Sacara truly opened their hearts to our holy city, they have also designated June 6 as a holy day honoring the venerated Saint Sima. We could not be more overjoyed to know that a nation has so quickly turned towards the word of God and Mihailov. A new Patriarch, an extreme hardliner named Julius Vasiliy, has been announced to lead this new holy mission. He will arrive with over 600 priets, 850 deacons, and an opened account to spend whatever it takes to establish a stronghold for Orthodoxy in the northeast. Just over 1,000 soldiers will be sent to protect them.

The Holy Emperor is planning on broadcasting a message later this evening, but has provided us with a written document detailing his speech and we will be printing it below:

My Rightful Bulthlandans,
It is with a very warm heart that I announce to you the first international Holy City will be established in Sacara immediately. Not only that, but a national holy day honoring Saint Sima has been announced and they will be honoring it for centuries to come. Chances to spread the word like this are rare and it is our duty to God that we accept them whenever we have the opportunity. It is with a heavier heart, however, that I must admit how wrong I was about Aglrinia. As they surround the good, holy people of Sacara it has become evident that they very well may try to unleash untold cruelty upon their Orthodox population. We are mobilizing our forces and are prepared to defend the Orthodox population of Sacara no matter what the cost.

I am sending our new Patriarch with the Holy Sword of Pokat, a centuries old relic thought to be used by the first Patriarch to establish himself after our people migrated from the North. It is a symbol of holy might and I am more than certain that it will provide our soldiers and theirs the strength and resolve to fight any enemy. It is very rare that a truly holy nation like ours has the chance to commit themselves to a Crusade against those that wish to destroy our religion. If Aglrinia decides to attack the Orthodoxy within Sacara, I will have to honor the call of God and bring the full force of the heavens down upon them.

Soldiers Deployed to Sacara; Faith Traitors Set to be Executed.

March 6, 2018

Ivan Mihailov Deploys Troops to Sacara!

Your Holy Emperor has just informed us that just over 45,000 troops have been deployed to the Sacaran nation in order to protect the local Eastern Orthodox population. Their orders are to remain neutral until the effects of either side prove to be overwhelmingly antagonistic to the true religious believers of the small nation. While only 100 tanks have been deployed, General Overy has absolutely no doubt in his mind that the force will be more than enough to hold off the assault of any belligerents. He will be working in tandem with Admiral of the Fleet Grigor Odoyev, a veteran sailor who was a a crucial member in overthrowing the democrats decades ago. As it stands, around a third of the fleet has been deployed to assist in the operation. This includes 2 Bratislov-Class Carriers, 20 Pokat-Class Destroyers, 5 Hanh-Class Littoral Combat Vessels, 4 Bulthland-Class Amphibious Assault Vessels, 8 Dmeskri-Class Frigates, and an unknown amount of attack submarines. This overwhelming might is not only to be a sign of deterrence for other nations in the region, but also a swiftly acting force designed to react to any signs of aggression.

We are absolutely certain that the integrated priests and deacons will keep our soldiers holy in the foreign land and we hope to have nothing but the most stalwart cooperation from Sacara. It is in the best interest of all nations that the true believers of Sacara remain intact. Holy Emperor Mihailov has also arranged for the shipment of thousands of copies of the Horia Bible to be distributed throughout the local religious communities, further spreading our message and promising support to any true believers that require it.

Faith Traitors to be Executed

A new religious sect has been discovered in the small city of Yakut, which was focused on worshiping polytheistic deities. These individuals were reported by local members of the Youth Orthodox Guard, who have been awarded with early military conscription into a branch of their choosing. This is, no doubt, one of the highest honors that members of the Youth Guard can receive and we know that they will serve the will of God extremely well in our armed forces. The Bureau of Integrity has rounded up 3,900 members of this new religious sect and detained them for questioning. Although we can never be certain, it seems that these are the vast majority of the sect's members. It is still important that you all remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior. It is the will of God that faith traitors like these are taken care of so that they can not poison the minds of our children.

The execution date is set for March 8, although it may be pushed up if the Bureau of Integrity feels that there is no more information to be gained from keeping them alive. We will be sure to alert you if the date changes, but for now it is safe to assume that it will be held publicly outside of Yakut City Hall throughout March 8th. We want to thank everyone once again for their help in rounding up these faith traitors, especially of the variety so foul as the polytheists. We pray that God will somehow let them find mercy in the afterlife, although we know he would not want us to afford them any mercy here.

Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov Announces Annexation of New Lands.

March 7, 2018

Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov issued an order only a couple of hours ago to have Bulthlandan soldiers push north in order to take control of more critically strategic land along the coast. These troops, apparently numbering in the tens of thousands and with full military support, began traveling as soon as thirty minutes ago and claim to have no intention of stopping until they can cross over the strait and claim the island separating us from the pagans Hevatra. Our forces are being led by General Sergei Bolshoi, a man renowned for his ability to sniff out underground democratic groups during the early stages of Horia Sima's reign. It is assumed that he will be tasked with removing, relocating, or enslaving the populations that our holy soldiers will be claiming for the Empire and for God.

Although we are not entirely sure why the decision to make this move was made today, Holy Emperor Mihailov says that it is critical we gain the strategic coastal land before enemies of our Empire have the chance to claim it for themselves. Not only will this land be incorporated into our Holy Empire, but it will also be turned into a minimum of one new diocese that will further spread the message of God. Once the land has been annexed the Ministry of the Homeland is offering housing and tax incentives to anyone who is willing to settle the new lands with true Bulthlandan blood. We will continue to keep you updates as the story develops, but for now all we can do is stand behind the great and holy actions of our glorious Holy Emperor. We are destined to spread the true word as far as God allows.

All Foreign Forces Set to Return to Bulthland Lura.

March 13, 2018

Holy Emperor Ivan Mihailov announced today that the troops and ships sent to the nation of Sacara are being recalled today, most likely due to what he sees as inaction on the part of the international community when it comes to combating Aglrinia. The 45,000 troops, 100 tanks, and large fleet group have already begun leaving and are expected to be back on native soil quickly. This is all coming just as Aglrinia's summit is taking place, where Sacara and other supposedly friendly nations are attending in an open and friendly manner. It has become apparent that the international community does not truly care for their own sovereignty or the religious values they tricked us into believing they wanted to rediscover. Your Holy Emperor had the following to say about the matter:

My Faithful Bulthlandans,

I have attempted to foster religious relations with neighboring nations only to find that their true values and worries lay only with themselves. I have tried to set aside my distaste for democracies only to find that they espouse the very same ideals that caused our people so much harm in the past. It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce our withdrawal from Sacara, a nation that I trusted to have the greater interests of their people and their Orthodox community at heart. We will be leaving 2,500 soldiers in our religious establishment within their borders, which will be open to any and all Orthodox refugees found to be true believers in the word of our God. The international community of Auratus is too spineless to do what it takes to preserve their sovereignty from the Islamic menace charging their borders. They do not have what it takes to take a stand for what they believe in and it is for that very reason that we wish to have nothing to do with them. We are better off doing what we have always done: following our religion within our own borders. While I truly hope that this is not the end of our international relations altogether, it has shown me that democratic nations are not worth dealing with. We need like minded, strong countries to support and who can fully support us when the time comes. I am deeply disappointed by the inaction of the other invitees, but may be willing to consider their offers if they show a true change in heart.

If Sacara shows true repentance and willingness to accept the true word of God into their nation I may be able to reconsider this action. That being said, I find it hard to believe that they would be willing to take such a stance when it has become apparent that they only care for the visage of peace as opposed to proactively making sure that peace is created throughout the region. For now, we are going to leave them to the Aglrinian threat that they helped propagate by their inaction and hand-holding.

In God's Name,
Ivan Mihailov

Holy City in Sacara Abandoned.

March 22, 2018

Orders came in very early this morning from the Holy Emperor's office ordering the immediate return of all military and religious personnel from within the nation of Sacara. The Holy City, which was under construction in a massive plot of land, has had every reasonably movable piece of expensive ornery removed. Although no reason has been given by the Holy Emperor's Office, our sources are telling us that it is believed that the action is due to "recent events that have come to light within the highest parts of the administration." This, albeit fairly cryptic, is the fullest extent of what we have been able to obtain. We must have complete faith in the Holy Emperor's ability to decide what God wills in Auratus. The personnel are expected to return by the end of the day, with a warm welcome from the citizens of Pokat expected to follow shortly.

We are aware of the brevity of this message and will continue to update you all as we receive more information. We remind you all to remain stalwart in your faith, no matter what foreign powers and heathen religions may decide to try and cause you to waver.
