It's a cold Thursday night at the office, staying up late to deal with whatever horrible equivalent Federal Governments have of TPS reports, when a small, balding man runs into your office, hollering at you to turn on the television. Immediately. Disgruntledly, you do so, to see a home filmed video being rebroadcast over national news, of a man you remember being briefed on some 18 months ago- Julianos Sanders.

...is only right that the people of the world see these documents that we have made publicly available on our site. These corporations have been acting without regard to humanity, the environment, or in some cases, even their own shareholders. Corporations from every major nation in the world are exposed; some are big, some are small, and a few are even government owned. The people of the world should stand up and demand a response from their government!

We have the contents of hard drives from many other major companies, perhaps four times as many as what have been unveiled; we are still working on decrypting these files. It may be some months before we can put these files up, but put them up we must, even if we do not get the opportunity to decrypt them fir~


You mute the television and start calling your government to come back to the office for a late night meeting. It's going to be a long one.


What now? Do you try and capture them, or save them? I will occasionally leak the territory where Julianos Sanders has just left, and eventually leak his true location- so don't "discover" his location, because you won't know it until I leak it, and then you can add that leak into your own tale(s) however you like.

Upon the end of the Indyleaks saga, event awards will be given to the player(s) with the most interesting and best quality contribution, not necessarily the player that captures or saves the ringleader of Indyleaks. Consider these events a good excuse to practice your story telling skills. Feel free to work with other players to have intertwining stories, etc.

Kazarovia KK-JST Security Memo Q113-44HDIC-44
For Q rated Security clearance only

CC: Supreme Commander, KSDF Command, KIPS Command, Jaruxu Resources(CEO/VP Group)
From: KSDF/KIPS Joint Security Taskforce (KK-JST)
Topic: Julianos Sanders

Topic Breifing - As of the time this memo was printed the KK-JST has been unable to determine the location of target individual. although he has been named in many internal investigations his file remains frustratingly empty as sympathisers to his cause are willing to risk imprisonment or extended persuasion protocols to protect both his anonymity and location. While cross-checking has confirmed this alias as his real name there are precious few other facts we know about him. We believe his supporters use a decentralized mesh network (Coll. Undernet) to avoid the censorship of our Government operated ISP's. Due to the potentially dangerous information contained within these releases and the public backlash that may occur we propose a Dark Op (CodeName:Whitehair) to covertly locate sympathisers as well as Julianos Sanders. Meanwhile the government publicly Denounces any information regarding our nation as lies and fabrication.
The pieces have been mobilised for Whitehair we await only the approval of the Supreme Commander.

EMERGENCY NOTICE






Comrades,

I must inform you that Julianos Sanders (I'm sure you know who he is) has leaked vital information from some of our most renowned government-owned industries on his website, Indyleaks. He claims that our industries "have been acting without regard to humanity, the environment, or in some cases, even their own shareholders". We know this is not the case - we don't have shareholders here, and, as you know, our industries are regulated so that they cause minimal environmental impacts, and our workers prosper through the work of the trade unions.

However, this man still poses a threat to our security, which is why I am calling an emergency meeting to be held in the Skyscraper Citadel. Tonight. We must make a swift decision on what to do with Sanders. I hope to see all of you there.

In Solidarity,

Orion Maratov
Chief Commissar of the Interior Affairs Commissariat



During the emergency meeting...

Maratov took his place at the podium in the main hall of the Skyscraper Citadel (the home of the Quinntopian government). In the hall were other Chief Commissars, as well as ordinary Commissars (by "ordinary Commissars, I mean the people who provide the workforce to run the Commissariats). There was a mutter of anger and shock. Maratov then put his mouth to the microphone, and began to speak.

"Comrades, we are currently in a dire situation. We need to decide on what to do with this man," he stated, and as a picture of Julianos Sanders appeared on a screen behind him, continued, "Julianos Sanders. As I said in the notice, he's leaked information on some of the industries which we hold dear to our economy. So, what should we do?"

"Kill him!" shouted one Commissar from the back of the hall. "No, send the army into where he is and arrest him!" said another, this time from the left of the hall. Then, a Commissar in the front row stood up and said "I think we should monitor his videos and his activities, and try and find out from those where he's located from those. Then we'll have a good idea of where to find him and this will allow us to deal with him in the appropriate manner." Whispers of agreement echoed throughout the hall.

"It appears we have a winner," said Maratov, "all in favour of Comrade Commissar Letnev's suggestion, say aye." Both the Commissars and Chief Commissars raised their hands and shouted "aye" in unanimous agreement. "Well, it's clear that we have a majority for that suggestion. The finest agents of the People's Espionage and Intelligence Agency (PEIA) shall be put to work immediately on this case." The hall filled with thunderous applause, and Maratov made his way down to the exit.

Cabinet Office


His Majesty formally summoned a meeting of his most honourable Cabinet and defence committee to discuss the issue of Julianos Sanders. During this meeting, it was agreed that Mr Sanders should not be persecuted as he has not, as of yet, broken any Dartfordian law. However, the Cabinet noted the concern of His Majesty that vital information about defence and security could be leaked to the public, which is of great concern to His Majesty's Government and his people. Thus, it has been decided that the secret service will cooperate and share intelligence with our allies in The Independent Order. Mr Sanders will not be granted asylum, but if he is found to be based in Dartfordia, any request for extradition will be dealt with by the High Court.

The position of His Majesty's Government may change following any developments.

Imperial Dispatch


Following a meeting of the Imperial Council of the First Empire it is the opinion of the Imperial Government that Julianos Sanders has not run afoul of any of our laws or statutes. Indeed, it is very possible that Mr. Sanders may be eligible to seek asylum in the First Empire under the Whistle Blower Act of 2013 and the Sunshine Decree. Therefore the First Empire shall not cooperate in any efforts to hunt Mr. Sanders down, nor shall we extradite him should he be found within the First Empire.


The Empress had the following to say concerning the matter:

In an age of seemingly unrestricted corporate malpractice the world should not be rushing to damn Mr. Sanders. I've seen first-hand the damage which can be wrought when corporations are given free reign to do as they wish, especially when matters such as resources, human rights and environmental stewardship are considered. The Federal Republic, this Empire's predecessor, allowed such free reign to corporations which had resulted in lower living standards, areas of land and water poisoned by greed, and social inequality of embarrassing levels. I can take a look at any of the brave men and women who fought against that Republic and see a Julianos Sanders in each of them.

To Mr. Sanders, on behalf of the First Empire, should you desire asylum you may consider it granted as of this moment. Where crimes take place, where deceit runs rampant, the call to individuals to see such wrongs righted must never be ignored. To allow your persecution would be to establish a precedent against the peoples right to know what exactly occurs behind closed doors. This is not a precedent the First Empire will allow to be established.

Godspeed, Mr. Sanders.

Beatrice I



That is all.


Shortly after the Dispatch is released Beatrice continues discussing the situation with Mr. George Klyne, Imperial Councilor for Naval Affairs:

"As you know the battleship IRS Valiant along with the frigates Defiance and Excelsior, and the destroyer Serendipity are currently on patrol missions in the Sea of Kyne. These units represent the most capable of our Navy at this point, and stand as the last vestige of force projection the Federal Republic left us with. Should Julianos Sanders be anywhere near their area of responsibility and we could guide him to any one of the ships we could then easily transport him back to Neo Rokkenjima, perhaps explaining the departure of a vessel or two as scheduled maintenance. Otherwise resources could be redirected from the ongoing resistance in Arovium..."

"Thank you Mr. Klyne," the Empress interrupted him, "but I prefer your first option. Employ the services of the Cyber Operations Directorate to leave messages which would seem innocent and unconnected to others but would get the message to Mr. Sanders. This should be of highest priority until we are able to secure his safety from those who may not wish him to reach our shores."

"Very well, my Empress, it shall be done."

Julianos Sanders hailed as Hero
The Imperial Times

The citizens of Neo Rokkenjima have embraced Julianos Sanders as a folk hero in recent days. After the announcement of the Empress that Mr. Sanders would be welcome to immediate asylum in the First Empire this reporter discussed reactions with people on the streets of Pyrettania and found many people willing to speak about Mr. Sanders and his efforts. A woman in her mid-20s, Ashley Blair, shared the following story with the Imperial Times.

"When I was five my family and I lived in the town of East Lancaster, a town which was totally dependent on the United Chemical Corporation's facility just outside our town. My father would work twelve hour shifts in the plant, sometimes being forced to work double shifts, just to provide food and housing for us. I still remember the morning he didn't come home, just moments after the sound of sirens had woken me up my mother quickly grabbed me and told me we had to leave. A faulty valve at the plant had allowed a mixture of chemicals in one of the tanks which caused a cloud of gases to descend on East Lancaster."

I handed my handkerchief to Ashley as tears formed in her eyes. "My father died at the plant, my mother died seven years ago, all but two of my childhood friends are still alive. Each household in East Lancaster were provided with gas masks in case of a leak but many of them proved defective. That was the case of my mother's mask. The gases which were released inflicted her with a degenerative lung disease which finally stole the breath of life from her."

The United Chemical Corporation, which was mostly owned by the Federal Republic, has been a target of the First Empire for "a lack of safeguards...and a total disregard for the health of the town of East Lancaster in the years preceding the release." While the Imperial Government has shut down all UCC operations criminal proceedings continue against key figures from the Federal Republic and the management of UCC.

"There's corporations like this all over the world doing the same things UCC did, putting lives and communities at risk. God bless Julianos Sanders for trying to shed light on the demons, he's helping to ensure another East Lancaster doesn't happen again. The people deserve to know! We all pray for Julianos Sanders, and our Empress for standing in solidarity with him!" I offered Ashley my condolences and thanked her for sharing her story with me.

Another man, Eric Frano, also shared a positive view of Julianos. "What people of other nations don't understand is the conditions which develop when the rights of corporations trump the rights of the individual. The Federal Republic sold our rights, sold our resources, our very lives to the corporations to earn their blood-soaked dollar. That's why I heeded the call of our Empress, we already knew what these demons with snake-tongues tried to cover up with their fancy suits and empty rhetoric. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the documents held by Mr. Sanders vindicate the works of our Empress to the remaining Republicans, driving a final nail in their coffin while exposing yet more criminals who were complicit in the crimes against our nation."

"What about the perceived harm the release of these documents could have to international relations and the international economy?" I asked. "Diplomatic relationships can be repaired, economies can be repaired. Human lives cannot, and it costs a lot more to undo human suffering. Our nation is an example of that, wouldn't you agree? We cast off a corrupt government and gave the finger to their corporate bedfellows, and I know several boys still in the Service who would gladly raise up arms again to defend his work."

It must be noted that Neo Rokkenjima seemingly stands alone in its support of Julianos Sanders and Indyleaks. With the upcoming ball and dinner to be hosted by the Empress to introduce the First Empire to the world, with other important discussions reportedly on the table, it is not yet clear how the Indyleaks situation will impact the event. It is certain, however, that the topic will likely be discussed along with the Empress's staunch support for Julianos Sanders.

"Ready. Three, two, one, mark."

The large airplane churned out gas from its twin turbines and slowly lurched forward, and then rapidly accelerating and taking off. The gear was pulled up, the flaps adjusted, and the flight course was set. Inside the luxurious airplane, there was a man named Weston. He checked his watch, pulled out a magazine, and lit up a cigar. After the plane had reached its intended altitude, the a stewardess walked forth and greeted him.

"Would you like a drink, sir?"

"If you please. A cold beer, of Rokkenjiman make."

"Of course, sir. The pilot sends her regards."

"Eh. Tell her the same."

The Bechstein Airforce was unique in the sense that all its members were of the female gender. The same went for all ship commanders of the Bechstein navy, because President Grendel had once declared that 'men lack the tolerance for such a position' (President Grendel was, in a great coincidence, female as well).

A fighter escort consisting of multiple imported F-15s was patrolling the government-owned airplane through the airspace above the southern Matilda canal. Some of the foundations of the great Veluca bridge, whose construction had begun not long ago, could already be seen lining the coast. On the distance, the beautiful island of the Matterhorn could be seen. A single runway was in the island, of small size, given the density of the city.

Being radioed in due to low visibility, the plane screeched to a halt. The captain of the flight walked out and saluted Weston as he disembarked to the asphalt of the earth. Weston had lost his lower left leg to a bomb, which had almost taken his life, and so, walked with a very peculiar gait that distinguished him among the soldiery of Bechstein.

A black Cadillac sedan flying a small Bechstein flag was waiting for him at the airport. Weston entered the vehicle, and it quickly began the relatively short trip to the center of the city.

However, a large crowd had gathered, which rendered transportation by automobile impossible. The man left the vehicle and finished his trip by foot. The president was making a speech at the balcony. He could not hear the words, nor did he want to, for he already knew what it was all about.

Blackmail? Perhaps.

...and now for some breaking news, there has been a reported breakthrough in the case of Julianos Sanders! While the location of the man is still unknown, reporters have learned the location of the servers that are apparently hosting the website itself- in the incredibly remote and mountainous province of Rorikisha (P27, will be added to the map next update). We have yet to hear comment from the local government, but it is thought that the servers may be far into the badlands- by far the most remote and inaccessible part of the province, where it is considered far too expensive and resource intensive to police.

Tech experts have weighed in, saying that this mystery server is likely not the end all be all- that it may only host the quarter or so files that have actually been uploaded, and not the rest that have yet to be decrypted; or that it might only be a mirror server of the real host location. Only time will tell what comes next in this saga of the unveiling of embarrassing amounts of business corruption across the globe...

With Due respect Mr Kochar, this situation is still in its infancy and protecting your personal embarrassment at the contents of these documents is not our concern we will continue to investigate any crimes committed within our borders, I would however prepare yourself for the outcome of this investigation as the high level of contacts needed to obtain this information would suggest that members of your organisation have been complicit in current events. As for Rorikishi we will contact the local authorities about access to the server area, if there is any information we deem relevant it will be shared with you.

Topic: Julianos Sanders/ Jakob Kochar

I have despatched operatives from KK-JST Aplha Squad to infiltrate Ririkishi, Due to their size and lack of political clout we don't foresee any issues should our squad be discovered. Due to the security that has accompanied myself and other delegates to Neo Rokkenjima the KSDF has been left with few options other than to send last generation KSDF ZA-2 Helicopters. They will land in the neighbouring Province we have dubbed P28 and infiltrate through the southern border and return across the border once their mission is finished. We do not belive Julian Sanders will be in the vicinity but we will search for any information that shows how our systems were accessed so we can avoid these issues in the future. Jakob Kochar continues to be more absorbed with himself than the good of the nation. Our investigation show that he is one of few people with access to much of the information contained within the documents. Operation Whitehair Continues.

Our version of the infamous Julious Sanderz will stay free. He is a citizen and has the right to express whatever he feels about anything. Shocking evidence has been released showing the cruelty and devastation many major companies, be the small, large, or government owned, have committed. We the people of Narrahivoo and their delegates beg the nations of they region and even the world, please, listen to your whistle blowers. Let people be free.

The Rt. Hon.
11:48 pm
Special Meeting of the Council of Ministers
Presidential Palace
Elpidiana, Captial of Elpidia


President Quilo massaged her temples, it had been a long day before all this happened. Around her were the members of the Council of Ministers, her cabinet. Like her they were in various states of fatigue, the Minister of Homeland Defense John Tresl seemed especially strained.

"Ok," she began, "I'm sure you've all read the reports and seen the news. We're arriving a bit late to the party so we need to hit the ground running. What's our gameplan?"

"So far Sanders hasn't released any information from any Elpidian companies, not surprising considering we aren't exactly a major player on the world economic stage." said Tresl.

"That's not to say he won't though, it would be especially harmful if he released any information on ElpEng." said the Minister of Energy Emily Ruthers rather sharply. ElpEng was the state-owned electricity conglomerate in Elpidia.

"Is there some reason to worry?" asked the President.

"Well," began Ruthers with a sigh, "since the release of this information I've been questioning the ElpEng people, and it seems there may be a deal of corruption. Especially relating to pricing, as well as poor service in rural and poorer regions."

"I'm not sure if it would be better to admit this and start an investigation, or to try to quietly fix it." said Vice President Vargas.

"We don't have elections for another three years, I think we'll come out looking the best if we get ahead of the curve and try to root out the problem publicly. The people seem to think Sanders some kind of hero, and we don't want to be on the other side of that. Draft a memo to the Speaker, have him form an investigative committee."

With that the President adjourned the meeting.




ElpEng Focus of Anti-Corruption Investigation
The Elpidiana Courier

Today the Speaker of the National Assembly announced the formation of a special committee to investigate allegations of corruption on behalf of ElpEng. The state-owned company is accused of overcharging for services in poor neighborhoods, and rural areas, as well as providing extremely poor service and repairs to these areas. It seems the money extorted through these actions lined the pockets of ElpEng higher-ups. The government has declined to comment on any connection between Julianos Sanders' "Indyleaks" and the investigation, but the majority opinion seems to be that the President is trying to get ahead of news that would've broken inevitably.

"It's about time" said one resident of Losuri, a small town in rural Esterness, "our electricity bills have been outrageous for months. We've really had to alter our lives to cut down on electricity, and now we find our money has been going to some corporate fat cat's personal account? The government's initiative is nice, but they wouldn't have done it if it weren't for Sanders."

The government also declined to give much comment on Sanders himself, giving the following statement.

"Mr. Sanders has not committed any crimes in Elpidia, to our knowledge he is not in our jurisdiction (physically or legally), and he is not (to our knowledge) a citizen of the Elpidian Republic. At the current time the government will be taking no action towards Mr. Sanders or Indyleaks, though we recognize the right of other states to protect their national self-interests as far as Indyleaks is concerned."

We here at the Courier are curious to see what the future of Indyleaks brings.

Julianos Sanders is now known to not be in the state of Rorikisha, say investigators. Security camera footage, believed to be of Mr Sanders, has emerged of the man leaving the state one week before the leaks began. Unfortunately, the airport in question did not have footage of the gate that Mr Sanders left the airport from, meaning it is difficult to determine where he has gone now.

For Q rated Security clearance only

CC: Supreme Commander, KSDF Command, KIPS Command
From: KSDF/KIPS Joint Security Taskforce (KK-JST)
Topic: Julianos Sanders/ Jaruxu Resources

Operation Whitehair has shown as per current media reports that Julianos Sanders had left Rorikishi before our operatives arrived. Alpha squad continues it pursuit although the current Global situation between CSTO and WTFCOMA has created dufficulty for our operatives moving across borders they so far have been able to avoid entering Pact held territory, in related news KK-JST Delta Squad have been despatched to find evidence of the Group Incen Werize who have claimed responsibility for the G-3R attacks. So far we have no evidence to connect the two but the silent manner in which both were able to infiltrate sovereign nations needs further investigation.

Internally, we believe we now know how the information was gathered and by whom, a Secretary of Jakob Kochar has been tapping his internal secure line and all Jaruxu ESMS's have been compromised, Jakob's name must be kept away publicly to avoid destabilisation of Jaruxu they are to important to us. We have notified the family of the Secretary that she has been selected for intensive training to take place in Ebus and will be out of contact for a time, We have in fact taken her into custody and she is currently under extended persuasion protocols. At the end of her usefulness an accident will be arranged.

Julianos Sanders disavows Incen Werize
Julianos Sanders has released an unexpected podcast on the internet that condemns the terrorist organization Incen Werize. Mr Sanders, who is still on the run internationally from the judicial authorities of several nations, reportedly stated that his organization has refused to provide any assistance for Incen Werize due to the abominable nature of their goals and a desire to help people, not harm them.

Top member of Indyleaks arrested in airport in Rorikisha
A woman known to be a leading figure of the Indyleaks organization was reportedly arrested in an airport in Rorikisha last week, authorities say. The woman, known as Kimberly Valar, is being held in custody by Rorikishan police as the local government now attempts to sort out which nation, if any, should the woman be extradited to, as it is known that several different nations had already identified her and laid charges against her for involvement in the organization.

The news that Kimberly Valar, a leading figure in Indyleaks, had been arrested in Rorikisha was seen as an opportunity by Neo Rokkenjima. Perhaps she could provide answers to many of the questions Rokkenjima had concerning Julianos Sanders. After holding a session of the Imperial Council Lord High Steward Ofdensen had a plan before him to, hopefully, secure her extradition to Novincia. An encrypted message was sent to the relevant authorities across the CSTO:

"With the arrest and detainment of Kimberly Valar by Rorikishan authorities I feel it is prudent that we pool the collective diplomatic force of the Cross-Straits Treaty Organization to secure her extradition to Novincia. Our ability to question her and gain valuable information concerning the whereabouts of Julianos Sanders would not be guaranteed if she were to end up in one of Stalin's gulags and, after the diplomatic conduct of the Warsaw Alliance at the Peace Conference, we can assume her fate in that scenario would be most certain death. There she could be held in Novincian custody under the authority of the Covenant of Nations, to face charges from the international community.

Through the combined diplomatic efforts of our member states I am certain that this task may be achieved. As the actions of Indyleaks impacted all nations Neo Rokkenjima feels that it is critical that she face the collective justice of the community of nations while also being made available to all powers whom may wish to question her as well. This is the most fair course of action to pursue and favours no nation above the others. The Empress hopes to enjoy the support of the CSTO in this endeavor.

Yours,
Charles Foster Ofdensen"

Regarding the Extradition of Kimberly Valar


With the arrest of Kimberly Valar by Rorikishan authorities the questions now before us are if she should be extradited and, if so, to where. Neo Rokkenjima feels that the obvious solution to these issues would be to see Kimberly extradited to Novincia where she would be held in custody on behalf of all members of the Covenant of Nations, to be accessible to authorities from the international community and, ultimately, to face trial for the charges levied against her. I propose that all current charges against Kimberly be transferred from their national jurisdictions to that of the Court of International Justice, with any further charges being submitted to the Court as well.

Rokkenjima shall oppose any move to extradite Kimberly to an individual state as such a situation wouldn't ensure international accessibility to her, nor would it guarantee that she faces all charges presently against her from the community of nations. While Rokkenjima has not filed any charges against Kimberly our authorities are still interested in questioning her. Let us work together in seeing our mutual concerns addressed in this most fair of solutions regarding the extradition of Kimberly Valar.

Charles Foster Ofdensen
Lord High Steward of Rokkenjima


"Unsurprisingly Charles has redeemed himself quite nicely," Beatrice said approvingly to Eva. "The question remains if the international community will follow our lead in seeing Kimberly extradited to Novincia, not all may share our desire for that outcome," Eva replied uncertainly. "Much effort has been put into the Covenant of Nations and this will prove to be the first test for international commitment to the principles behind it, I don't think that denying an international solution to the extradition question would prove popular for those against it from other nations who share our concerns. I would have rather seen her extradited to Rokkenjima, however, the fact remains that we have levied no charges against her, have no intention of doing so, and our support of Mr. Sanders is well known.

"So long as we have the opportunity to talk with her this effort will be a success. The people of Rokkenjima are highly supportive of Mr. Sanders, as am I, it would be a shame to allow his persecution to preserve a culture of political secrecy and abuse. We must do our best to perform this balancing act correctly, failure here is not an option. The relevancy of the Covenant must be ensured, and our mission to assist Julianos Sanders must succeed!"

Kazarovia KK-JST Security Memo Q113-78HDIC-33
For Q rated Security clearance only

CC: Supreme Commander, KSDF Command, KIPS Command, Ryuuma Oshida
From: KSDF/KIPS Joint Security Taskforce (KK-JST)
Topic: Indyleaks/G-3R/Incen Werize/KK-JST ALpha Delta Squads

One of the Operatives of the Indyleaks Group, Kimberly Valar has been arrested in Rorikisha, We are hoping to secure her extradition to Kazarovia but it would seem that the current international sentiment is to move her to Novincia. I will use my contacts within the CSTO to ensure we have time to interrogate the subject.
The KK-JST Recommendation is that we do not burn our international relationships trying to force extradition to our nation.

G-3R Synthesisation is complete and the Vaccine is ready for mass deployment Pure strains of G-3R will be Kept in Q rated Security Storage. Jaruxu Edible Genetics continues their research into the Virus as it's unique fast infection properties mean that an attenuated version could be used to deliver other genetic compounds to the populace.

Incen Werize continues to evade us. We constantly find members both at home and abroad but all cells appear to be separate groups that do not have contact with each other but simply have a common goal, if this was the case before international pressure or a change forced by that pressure is unknown at this point. The investigations continue.

KK-JST Alpha and Delta Squads have returned from current overseas commitments. They will deployed to selected areas in Ardia and Cotf Aranye to fortify our information gathering efforts.

Regarding the Extradition and Charges for Kimberly Valar



Officials have approved the extradition of Kimberly Valar to Novincia. She will be held captive at Bezopasnosti High Security Prison and be charged for espionage and espionage-related charges.

Interrogators will be granted access to Bezopasnosti High Security Prison, but since it is a classified government penal-area, all interrogators will be assumed to enure its discreetness.

Regarding Julianos Sanders, he will also (if established) be relocated to Bezopasnosti High Security Prison for espionage and espionage-related charges.

Since Kimberly Valar is an international criminal that has caused harm to multiple nations, the Novincian Supreme Court will await an agreement on the trial, charges, and punishment of Kimberly Valar. Although espionage has been mentioned, it will differ.

Only legitimate interrogators ordered by the CSTO and/or national governments within the Independent Order will be granted access to Bezopasnosti High Security Prison. No reporters from any media that does not host for the government will be denied access to the prison. (Yes, you can post anything you'd like in your media threads about the interrogations, I don't mean to restrict any information)

Updates on Kimberly Valar's condition will be provided by the Bezopasnosti Staff Principal. Kimberly Valar will be separated from the other inmates to ensure safety for her, inmates, and the staff. She will be kept well until or after her trial.

If Kimberly Valar will undergo any other extradition, the Novincian Navy will provide the transportation of the convict to the designated nation.

Signed,

A public forum will be held and the delegates of the people will meet to decide how to take action against the devastation caused by these companies. We swear to protect the people, the economy, and the environment. I speak in hopes that other nations listen to those who try to express such horrid actions carried out by those with any form of power. Thank you."

Indyleaks Reveals Full Spectrum Program, Details Foreign Espionage efforts of Rokkenjima

The Foreign Intelligence Directorate (FID) began a massive foreign intelligence program, named Full Spectrum, shortly after tensions rose between the Cross-Straits Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Alliance which received increased funds after Incen Werize re-armed the Grand Republican Army, according to documents released by Indyleaks.

"The documents show that the Full Spectrum Program was authorized by the Empress herself in the opening days of the Warsaw Tensions. While the Empress made certain that Rokkenjiman citizens were not a target of the program she gave no protections to the communications and digital information traffic of foreign nationals," Amelia Ghrol, President of the Open Society Foundation said. "This comes as no surprise to the OSF as the Empress, while the most foreign-minded leader in Rokkenjiman history, is known to view foreign concerns with far less weight than those of Rokkenjima. CSTO allies seem, naturally, to be an exception to this while independent partners have received much less concern since the Second Patriotic War plunged Rokkenjima back into civil war."

Indeed the Foreign Intelligence Directorate strengthened its ties with its respective authorities in Dartfordia, Quinntopia and Elpidia to 'build a network designed to develop an unparalleled intelligence collection and analysis ability.' Kazarovia and Chernobereg have not been mentioned in the documents released by Indyleaks and at this time it is unknown if the two nations have played any role in the Full Spectrum program.

The most striking revelations, according to the Open Society Foundation, may be viewed below:


  • The Spectre Operations Centre, located in central Kavania, analyzes live communications and information stored 'in the cloud' and via other methods of online storage. The facility, designed to store data in the order of exabytes, gathers data from intercepted satellite communications, foreign wireless communications, Internet traffic as well as underwater ocean cables.
  • Rokkenjiman technology companies were routinely queried by the FID concerning the data and activities of foreigners through their services. When many denied such requests, citing Imperial Statute 204, the FID sought to install devices on their systems to route information to the SOC.
  • The Ruby-Class Submarines Absolution, Hunting Girl and Salamander were deployed countless times, utilizing their capabilities to splice into underseas cables in intelligence and espionage efforts.
  • Leading figures in Warsaw Alliance member states were of keen interest to Full Spectrum and, to a lesser extent, those of neutral nations as well. Espionage against foreign corporations is also known to have been conducted.
  • The FID has strong working relationships with respective agencies in Dartfordia, Elpidia and Quinntopia. Efforts between the four nations to construct a joint signals and intelligence analysis network have been ongoing. Efforts to collect intelligence against neutral nations showed a marked increase once the standoff with the Warsaw Alliance concluded.


Due to the many initiatives the Empress has undertaken to rebuild Rokkenjima, to lift her People from decades of Republican abuse and restore Rokkenjima's position in the international community any domestic fallout against the Empress (and the Imperial Family) is expected to be minimal. Polls taken hours after the revelations have shown the approval rating for the Empress has fallen only slightly to 85%, down from 89% in the last edition of the poll. "Rokkenjimans seem to be satisfied that the Empress enacted strict controls to prevent domestic surveillance, and with the recent assassination attempt most are more concerned with her recovery and national security issues." Amelia added.

A group of hundreds of Rokkenjimans did take to the streets in Pyrettania where they held a peaceful protest before the Central Administrative Complex.

Imperial Decree
Regarding Full Spectrum


As I'm certain many of you know by now Indyleaks has released classified documents related to the Full Spectrum intelligence program. If one were to assume that we live in a perfect world where not one nation engages in espionage against another I could see reason for outrage and protest against Rokkenjima, perhaps you would even see me amongst your ranks if that were the case. The simple fact of the matter is that all nations, from the most pacifist to the most aggressive, conduct the types of operations Rokkenjima does under the Full Spectrum Program. Keeping this in mind I would advise foreign nationals that if their governments deny it, they're likely conducting operations worthy of actual condemnation, as Rokkenjima has been mindful and respectful of human dignity and rights every step of the way in Full Spectrum.

In the Second Patriotic War we saw a Grand Republican Army re-armed by Incen Werize. Before the Second Patriotic War we saw decade upon decade of Rokkenjiman oppression at the hands of foreign powers and entities. I shall not cripple Rokkenjima's ability to defend herself using any tools necessary for the sake of diplomatic niceties and facades designed to hide from their own people programs which, unlike Rokkenjima's efforts, are most often directed against their own people. The truth is much less cruel than sugar-coated words, specially chosen to score the most political points, so with that in mind I shall move on.

Rokkenjima, Dartfordia, Elpidia and Quinntopia have taken all steps possible to ensure that no international law or protocol was broken under the Full Spectrum Program. We've also taken all measures to approach foreign intelligence and analysis with human dignity, respect and privacy while also conducting the affairs of securing our nations and peoples from foreign threats. To ensure Rokkenjima's friends around the world have all concerns calmed I invite them to contact me so that we may discuss, and understand, our mutual positions. Through understanding and cooperation we may move on from this situation without unnecessary political grandstanding which would, in the end, only harm international diplomacy and harmony.

While I maintain my belief that Indyleaks, as advocates of transparency and justice, have done many great things for the world I must recognize that a crime against Rokkenjima has taken place. To these ends I am forced to revoke my offer of asylum and will be reviewing Rokkenjima's legal options from this point forward.

That is all.

Because of SpaceNet's (Tristantian Satellite ISP) cooperation with the Tristantian Government, they will block access to all Indyleaks content that is considered illegal in Tristantia, or any of Tristantia's allies, or any country that SpaceNet customers are under the jurisdiction of.

However SpaceNet will not completely block access to 'Darknets' or 'Undernets'
