'The Nivistratan is a Coran'i Weekly Newspaper based in Vsevograd. The Nivistratan primarily covers International News across Abexilas, placing a focus on innovation and uniqueness in it's brand Identity and publishing. Founded in , the Newspaper initially planned to cover news within the Nation of Nivistrata, a small country on the coast of Kejafros. The newspaper would soon pivot to Global News and reporting, away from Nivistrata, following its mass government exodus and population collapse, where the paper found the majority of its global success. The Nivistratan is headquartered in the Tower of Nivistrata, in Vsevograd. 
The Nivistratan is the Second-Most widely published paper in Gran Coran'i, after the Coran'i Dispatch, also published by Blindspot Media, and is the oldest continuously-running newspaper in Gran Coran'i, although the newspaper was founded outside of it. The Nivistratan is published every Friday, a schedule that was established in its first edition.
== History ==
The Nivistratan was founded in , with an initial goal of covering local politics, purely for publishing domestically. The first edition of the newspaper debuted to positive public reactions, covering the People's Revolt of August in Nivistrata, and the ensuing chaos in government that would soon define Nivistratan Politics' last era, and lead to the nation's demise. Shortly after the first edition of the Nivistratan was published, the newspaper was submitted to the News Guild of Stoneworks, where it was approved for global publishing thereafter.
Following the publishing of the First Edition of the Newspaper, Nivistrata named The Nivistratan as its official state paper, a position held by the paper to this day. The Newspaper published its first international article in its Second Edition, covering Economic and Political News across Kejafros and the rest of Abexilas, which would soon become the paper's main focus. As the paper continued publishing throughout August and then September, Nivistrata's economy and population collapsed, severely impacting the Newspaper, which quickly pivoted towards exclusively focusing on Global News and Economics. This helped revitalize the paper, which grew in relevance, outside of Nivistrata, particularly in Gran Coran'i, who had recently annexed Nivistrata. Blindspot Media was officially founded soon after, and the Coran'i Dispatch joined The Nivistratan under Blindspot's fleet of newspapers.
In November, the Newspaper underwent a complete formatting and design overhaul, with new fonts, new colours, and new article formats being debuted. The new design was intended for maximizing space efficiency, as well as improving the paper's public reputation, which had declined in the past month. 
The Newspaper's has also relied on innovation within its content in order to entertain readers and improve the quality of the newspaper, beginning with the inclusion of an Architectural Column in its 5th Edition, discussing the architecture and builds of Nivistrata, with the intention of boosting tourism to Nivistrata. It has not been featured in the Nivistratan since its 13th Edition, with three articles being published under the Column in total. The Nivistratan began publishing Crosswords in its Sixth Edition, primarily focusing on words that had been included in a previous edition's content. The Nivistratan Crossword Puzzle has not been seen in an edition of the Newspaper since its 12th Edition. The Nivistratan was also among the first newspapers in Abexilas to include a Weekly Weather Report, which began in its 12th Edition, and has continued to this day. Currently, the paper reports on Vsevograd, Coran'i, and two other prominent cities on the continent of Kejafros. Following its format redesign in November, the paper also became on of the first to publish a weekly Dedicated Sports Column, covering two featured games of the week, and two upcoming games in the Abexilas Hockey League and the Stoneworks Football League, as well as covering news from Formula Abexilas, and the Stoneworks Archery Guild.
