RNN: Rokkenjima News Report Episode 4

[Eva-Beatrice]

Ohayōgozaimasu! Welcome to episode 4 of the Rokkenjima News Report here on RNN! I'm your host, Clair Vaux Bernardus. We have several special announcements this week regarding Rokkenjima's development. So without further delay, let's go!

To start off, Rokkenjima's Department of Foreign Affairs has officially announced that since its opening, Rokkenjima has established diplomatic relations with two nations - Hungadada and the Grand Sufi Order. Travel from each of these nations to Rokkenjima has also been opened, along with the establishment of embassies in Evatrice. Security for anyone entering Rokkenjima has been tight, due to the worrisome situation occurring in western Europe, and the concern that the influence of Communism may enter our borders. In a statement from the Witch Council, it was noted that the restriction of travel from Hungadada and the Grand Sufi Order was under consideration until the situation in Europe improves. At this time, Rokkenjima does not have any plans in the works to allow its citizens to travel outside the country.

Next up, a map displaying Rokkenjima's territorial waters was officially released by the Witch Council. Everything within the red is under the control of Rokkenjima, and falls under the protection of the Rokkenjima Armed Forces. The map can be found here.

Our last topic for today is regarding Rokkenjima's future. Earlier today, the Witch Council announced Mirai Project, a plan to use Rokkenjima's available resources to establish it as a world power. And speaking of resources, a new one has recently been discovered - Ether. Currently, any further details about the resource besides the name are not publicly known, but the Witch Council has stated that it will be used to aide in the construction of an upcoming city. Now, as for what we know about Mirai Project... Under the Project, five new cities will be constructed around Rokkenjima by the end of this year. So far, only two are confirmed to be located in Japan, but the possibility for them all to be in Japan still exists. Second, Rokkenjima will be expanding its military. In January alone, the numbers of the Rokkenjima Armed Forces have increased to the following: 1,950,000 active soldiers (+25,000), 39,000 tanks (+500), 7,000 aircraft (+70), 170 ships (+15). The size of Rokkenjima's military is expected to increase gradually throughout the remainder of the year. Continuing with military, the Witch Council has confirmed that several new weapons, vehicles, and various miscellaneous structures will be constructed under the Project. No details have been released yet as to what they could be, but we do know that their development and construction is already underway. Lastly, several infrastructure projects for both Rokkenjima's already existing cities and cities that are currently under construction have been confirmed. Some of which include a nationwide subway system, underwater tunnels connecting to Taiwan, Korea, China, and of course Japan, and a space elevator/space station. All of the aforementioned aspects of Mirai Project are currently underway, though we don't know when they will be completed. Further details regarding Mirai Project will be reported here on RNN as soon as they are available.

That's all for this episode of the Rokkenjima News Report here on RNN. Until next time, ja ne!
