==== WD8 (Before the commonwealth) ====
— Assassination attempt at the people's coronation —
Today was the coronation of the very popular Jannis. He is mostly only popular with the peasants of the nation for his allocation of farms to peasant families while taking those same farms away from the nobility that control them as well as other things which as you can expect has made the nobility of the archduchy extremely mad and downright traitorous to the point where they would kill innocents.
During the crowning of the Archduke, anyone was invited, which was our first mistake…. The archduke decided to invite those from whom he reallocated land and stripped their title of nobility for their crimes against the nation's people. Those not-so-happy individuals decided to shoot at the Archduke but instead of hitting the Archduke, they hit the peasant behind him, another crime against the nation in the name of preserving or taking back one's wealth to which the wealth never belonged. The peasant that was hit is fine however one can not say the same for the now Ex-noble who shot the arrow, for directly after the peasant was hit the Archduke immediately threw his sword at the noble and stabbed him right through the chest…. The archduke then said "Anyone that hurts my people will be killed brutally as that is what you deserve, no one deserves to die over your pettiness, all deserve the right to live as they please in my nation, and if that means eliminating the whole noble class that rules this nation in the shadows than I must……. I must eliminate the traitor class that has done nothing but be parasitic on my people. Long live the Peasant King and long live Riga as for that I take my leave." The peasant that was shot at has received compensation from the ex-nobles' whole farm and one thing is clear to the noble parasites… They are not welcome in this glorious nation.

— The Culling of the Aristocracy —
"For long, the aristocrats of this great nation have suppressed the common folk like you and me; they have stolen, pillaged, and destroyed people's livelihoods but that stops now. Gone will be the days of suppression and prejudice. I called you all here today to tell you to take back your lands take back which once belonged to you no more will the nobility tell us what to do in our nation, down with the noble class as for I your King once a peasant like you can empathize with which you are feeling, I can empathize with your livelihoods that have been stolen by the evil noble and aristocratic class. Long live Livonia and God save the king!" - King Jannis Meiko von Riga (King of the Livonian Commonwealth)
==== WD9 (During commonwealth) {2nd Publication} ====
— The Publication of a Book and the Birth of a Martyr —
A widespread philosopher who goes by the name Aleksis Estere Rota has published a book called; "Das Proletariat und seine extreme Macht." or "The Proletariat and its extreme power." or "Proletariāts un tā galējā vara." This book was read by all that could in the glorious nation of Livonia, most thought the book was correct and that this person was a genius. He died in a brutal beheading by the noble family of Sūds, upon his death people took to the streets burning and destroying all that the Sūds owned and then the Peasant class executed the noble family just as the family executed the Aleksis Estere Rota.

— The Rise of the Social Democrats —
The rise of radicalism has been significant in Livonia lately, with the creation of Liberal, Social Democratic, and Communist, ideas alike. The Intelegincia, Trade Unions, and Rural folk lead this movement to the future; only time can tell what they will do. The leaders of each faction are as follows, Sofija Agnese Rota (Daughter of the Martyr) of the Social Democrats, Aleksandrs Darta Gustav of the Liberals, and Artjoms von Gulbene leader of the Communists. These factions are growing, with the most populous being Social Democrats with the majority of the Rural Folk and a good portion of the Intelegincia being part of this faction. The current demand of all of the radicals is a parliamentary system of government however, there are already arguments among the radicals about this the Liberals wanting a Presidential system and the Communists wanting a council government. The king has been in support of the Social Democrats since their creation and looks to be only waiting for the nobles to calm the fuck down. The king has left us with a quote, “The most revolutionary thing one can do is always to proclaim loudly what is happening.” ― Rosa Luxemburg

— Mass burning at the stake —
Nineteen prominent company leaders were burnt at the stake today by the peasants. Early today peasants rioted through the streets chanting "Mēs netiksim apspiesti, Nost ar muižniecību" (We will not be oppressed, Down with the nobility), They went all the way to the wealthy quarters of the city and ripped out the leaders of each company from their houses stuck them to stakes and marched them straight to the central plaza. Once they got to the plaza they were put on "Trail" with the peasants questioning them about the treatment of lower-class workers and ultimately setting them on fire, burning in agony as they slowly disintegrated.
=== Founding of the Republic ===
==== WD20 ====
— The End of the Monarchy and the Beginning of a Republic —
Today revolutionaries marched upon the castle and demanded the king resign and surrender to the proletariat. You may be wondering when the revolution started and how many have died in this mess, well it started three days ago and all of the aristocrats are now dead. The king felt sympathetic towards their cause once being a peasant himself so he decided to light fire upon the old flag and raise the red flag as a symbol of revolution. This marks the end of the revolutionary zeal in the nation and tames the political instability that has been happening since the beginning of the king's reign.
— Proclamation of the Republic —
