Apologies, a note from the editor

So, dear readers, you may have been wondering where our newspaper was. It wasn’t due to inactivity or anything of the sort, it was more of a lack of stories. There were no major news from the server, and we were at a loss of whom to interview. A thousand apologies from me, Aqua, for delaying this issue for some time. I hope you enjoy this one. Thanks, and if you have any interest in being interviewed, or have a great news story, be sure to PM me on Reddit.

~ Aqua, Head Writer and Chief Editor of the Circadian Observer

New Nations

Recently, a couple of new nations have been announced. This will be a basic overview, a TL;DR, if you will of a couple of them.

The Eseran Enclave — A new nation with their own spiritual beliefs, in the West Coast area.

The Kingdom of Ayutia — A constitutional elective monarchy, the Kingdom of Ayutia borders its military ally, the Eseran Enclave.

Waddlesburg — A Christmas themed nation in the North Pole, made up of former members of Frell

Yakyakistan — A nation based on.. yaks!

Entrea — A very new nation, Entrea is in former Volksreich territory

A variety of pearls

A message from the editor:

To be honest, there are so many nowadays, that if I dedicated an article to every single one, we might as well rename this newspaper to the Criminal Observer. Arcation is the main pearler, with around a 65% (don’t quote me on that) pearl factor. Most of the people recently pearled were people either travelling through 0,0, associated with Zer0 in some way or the other, or just plain greifers

Iudea Griefed

The Meritocracy of Iudea (sometimes referred to colloquially as ‘Ludea’) was recently attacked in a suspected organised criminal attack.

“So today I checked my snitch and saw this. I asked macjoseph what happened, and he said that he did griefed our base with two people, oBILLSo and FlynnPark1. Flynn was not online, but oBILLSo was. When I asked him, he said he was put up to it by a man called Shay. After asking macjoseph why he did it, he too said that he was put up to it by SHAY_I_AM as well. (http://imgur.com/4HL6huo). Leaders of other nations be warned, a man called SHAY_I_AM may make others grief bases for him. Iudea will be carrying out an investigation into this. Stay vigilant, and send any information to /u/yourbodyisapoopgun” — Raphael Dillon, Lord Premier of Iudea.

Additionally, Pineapple4dayz, a member of Picarona was also apparently raided by the same group. Being the strong fokker he is, he asked them if they wanted to fite, they would get to fite (Editor’s Note: Again, don’t quote us on this).

“I was also just raided, if I see my snitch logs and they say you or your band of fuckers, start digging your graves.” — Pineapple4dayz

Cubism in Ayutia

The Kingdom of Ayutia, a recently formed Cubist state boasting five active members finished the construction of a Cubist shrine to St. Psygate, in the capital of New Ayutia. Built upon a spot where an owl pellet from the saint was supposedly dropped, the shrine is right next to a waterfall, and is used for baptism within the nation.

“We’re ready to do baptisms here now”, Aqua, the Prince of Foreign Affairs of Ayutia says. “In fact, we’ve already done two. One for ElementalOwl, after he gave up his idiotic dreams of trying to create a new sect of Cubism, and one for our newest member, Mudkip!”

“We’ve also only got a death rate of 33.33%, with only one casualty out of all three baptisms we’ve done!”

Additionally, a Cubist Cathedral is also being built within the nation.
