**Kulin Works sues the Damali Gold Bank!**
In response to the collapse of the Damali Gold Bank building in Fahrgrave City, Kulin Works' executive council has called to internationally sue the Damali Gold Bank over failing security measures, citing that "*.. they made a fatal mistake! We're talking about human lives here! Something has to be done!*". However, opposition to both the lawsuit and Kulin Works have stated that it's merely a ploy to get money from the Damali Gold Bank, using damage sustained to Kulin Works' products and profile as reason.

International response to the lawsuit was mixed. However, the most prominent response came from Kulin Works' most prominent rival, Karan Company, which stated that "*.. their intentions might be just, but in no way is the Damali Gold Bank able to pay Kulin Works. Instead, Kulin Works should afford to send money to help repair the damage.*".

Karan Company and Kulin Works have been rivals since the 1930's, but after World War II, the former fell short, leaving Kulin Works as the prominent automotive producer in Avgrov. Kulin Works and the Damali Gold Bank have been at eachothers' throats before, when the Damali Gold Bank successfully tried Kulin Works for several million Avs back in 2006.

**Arkius II promises tens of millions in funding; Casualties uncertain.**
In light of recent disasters in other nations, High King Arkius II Doomer has offered to create an international disaster relief fund, from which afflicted nations could draw on with less complications and in less time than negotiating with other nations directly. Both governments and individuals, according to his plan, would be able to contribute whatever amount they should desire, however their donations would be collected together in a singular pool to be drawn upon by any afflicted nation. In this way, he says, even governments which "don't really get along", in his words, could still help one another in times of need, for Humanitarian purposes.

In other news, a possible terror attack has occurred on the Arkasian side of the Arkasian-Titanian border, in the form of a border station being completely leveled by explosives, however thus far, there have been no reported casualties, only light injuries. The group claiming to be responsible, the Vaerydan Avraes, is one of a number of organizations in the lands culturally and linguistically affiliated with nations including both Arkasia and Titania which support the so-called "True Way", a generally non-violent ideology which is, in its non-violent forms, considered acceptable practice in a number of nations. Even the High King himself supports a particular branch of the doctrine. Yet it is easy to see how it could become violent; the ideology is centered around a somewhat pan-nationalistic idea that all peoples formerly part of the mythical "Five Great Kingdoms" should be reunited under one government and seek a leading role in global affairs.
