Updates on the Limberwisk situation and approval of the Ares and Artemis program.

In the past few days, various resources and personnel wen to Limberwisk, and the first refugees are now integrating into European Nutella. The housing units have all successfully arrived to the camp, situated near Cobalt City, now the camp can successfully house 15'000 refugees at a time and has so far been able to properly process them even at full capacity thanks to a simple and efficient bureaucracy. Furthermore ashes are starting to subside, scientists on site estimate that perhaps within a week air travel across Europe could resume, in some areas sooner than others, and perhaps soon it will be possile to even fly towards the Arctic, although the travel ban still applies. So far about 6'000 refugees have already been moving freely across European Nutella where they can take classes to learn the language and culture of our nation, another 10'000 are currently  in quarantine facilities, 4'000 are being transported by both civilian crafts and also the Navy and the camp is currently at full capacity at 15'000, because of this 5'000 refugees have instead been trasported to other nations' camps. Talks to further expand the camp are under way, namely in terms of capacity, aing at 30'000, as well as the medical part. Food shipmen to the camp has been regular and sufficient to keep the refugees properly fed and maintain humane conditions.

Unfortunately not all is good news. Search teams have been sent to the city, the surrounding areas and the nearby islands of Fuw and Lef, we were able to rescue 5'000 refugees from each island and provide enough food to the rest of the survivors, that were found, for them to be able to survive until our next rescue mission. Sadly however despite the many refugees saved, many more dead bodies have been found. Due to its location Cobalt City was hit particularly hard and 46'030 dead bodies were found so far, this number is likely underestimated and it is estimated that, between the city and the surrounding area, there are at the very least 60'000 casualties. The situation is equally grim in the 2 islands, where it was estimated there would be 70'000 people left in each city, in reality only a fraction of them were found. In Fuw 20'000 people were confirmed dead, 15'000 people are presumed dead and 15'000 have been found and given food to, 5'000 of these have been brought to the camp, leaving 20'000 people who are still lost. In Lef the situation is even grimmer, with 40'000 confirmed dead people, some due to starvation, 10'000 currently presumed dead and only 5'000 rescued and brought to other nations' camps, meaning 15'000 people are still lost. Rescueteams have described the situation as "a complete humanitarian disaster of monstrous proportions". Psychologists are currently being sent to camp to aid the refugees and the rescue teams with their mental health.

Situation is also very grim for the local environment, with 90% of land species, both vegetable and animal, having been decimated, including some species unique to the nation going extinct. It is no doubt an ecological disaster on top of a humanitarian one. It's not predictable how life will resume and readapt to the nation's territories over the centuries. Fortunately however, no traces of the Monoj virus or his terrorists have been found so far in Limberwisk, prompting a science team to be sent to the nation of Bjein to gather samples for sequencing and setting up an offshore facility in an undisclosed location to research and study the virus. Part of the equipment will be taken from the camp and some tents will be sanitized and converted either in medical tents or housing facilities for the planned expansion of the camp. Due to Bjein's government incapability of conducting research, nor maintain order within their own nation, the Federal Government has decided to take matters into their own hand.

In other news owever, the government has also approved 2 of the projects proposed by the ENAO, the Ares project, aimed at making a space force and orbital weapons to be used for defense purposes, and the Artemis project wit the aim of putting a European Nutellan on the Moon. The other proposals are still being discussed. Tests for both projects have already started with an orbit around the moon being achieved and a first rocket test to test a weapon. This is all from us, see you again the 30th for the European Nutella elections, have a happy day!
