+(bc) As of last week, a big group of Brazilian immigrants lighted upon Alpha's Realm. They chose to explore the largely untouched northeastern corner of the continent Ur, and decided upon a thickly forested valley between two medium mountain ranges to settle down.\\
 The various new residents each started in their own small spot of the area, sporting different styles and preferences and a great deal of creativity that does not in all cases allow for logical interpretations.\\
 Whether or not the big group will start a nation remains as yet undecided, as does a name for the settlement (or individual settlements). Keeping with the character of the fast developing area, permission was given to the MARNIE editors to temporarily refer to it as 'Brazil Cooperation'.\\

 **Carpeted Hotel Rooms**\\
 (mm) Going with a suggestion of Kaiser P_P_A of the Holy Danikan Commonwealth, who recently visited Midgard Municipality, the owner of Seainn Hotel decided to afford all rooms with carpets, providing guests with a warmer sensation and a quieter surrounding as of last Sunday.\\

+**Aresea Disbanded**\\
+(at) On November 9th, Cleric Tomo of the Aresean Technocratic Republic disclosed and officially published the dissolution of the Areasean nation, not quite three months after being founded. Its territories are left with settlement status to those building within them, who are free to join nations of their own choosing. Any contracts with the former Republic have thus been voided, although this has yet to be noted on said treaties' pages.\\
+\\
+**Dead Breshik?**
+(ab) The repair work of Nova Bydlograd unfortunately restored the city right to the half hour between Resident Dork69 disabling its nether portal with TNT and Kaiser P_P_A of the Holy Danikan Commonwealth rebuilding it.\\
+Although it has been inoperative ever since, and at least two visitors teleported in by creating a new portal in a private residence, the leaders responsible for the capital of the Apostolic Kingdom of Breshik have taken no notice of the damage.\\
+\\
+**Move Two**\\
+(ar) November 12th saw another move operation by God AlphaBernd, this time concerning mostly historical, geographical and some people's pages. Links were adapted but should be checked anyway, particularly media ones.\\
+\\
+**No Neuschwanstein**\\
+(ar) The proudly advertised project of an island castle in the style of Neuschwanstein which Resident Harcourtien started a month ago, will never be finished. On November 13th, he disclosed that the as yet unnamed island with the unfinished structure was sold to Resident Tomokuroki who had been expressing an interest in it for almost just as long. Resident Tomokuroki did not tell what he plans to do with it, but according to Resident Harcourtien's speculation it might be "a game of thrones thing". It might just as well be speculated that it will remain as is until somebody else buys it off the current owner.\\
+\\
+**Battle Memorial**\\
+(ab) On November 1st, High Commissioner Austrobernd of the Mandatory of New Badfacia created a small battle memorial on the site of the Enderian UFO being conquered by Commonwealth forces and allies. While it is unclear whether it was an oversight or intention (this memorial too lacks any sort of historical description), the area remains dotted with various remnants of nether portals even after the restoration process.\\
+\\
+**Culture on Hold**\\
+(wl) The Winterlynian project regarding a literature/culture program, for which an ad had been requested in the MARNIE issue of October 12th, has been put on hold due to King Niller being otherwise engaged.\\
+Considering his reaction when asked about progress, it seems unlikely at this point that this project will ever amount to more than the Pride Event.\\
+\\
+**Search for Mates**\\
+(sv) Resident Zoythrus is 'looking for mates', as signs in front of his shop at New Spawn state. The area he currently lives in is called //Snow Veil Retreat// and its borders and progress can be found on the page [[https://dev-urandom.eu/settlements:snow_veil_retreat]] in the Autism Almanac. Interested parties should leave a sign at his shop, since Resident Zoythrus has not yet placed a mailbox in the post office.\\
+\\
+**Take Three**\\
+(up) Moving on from his last abandoned project, new Stadtholder Harcourtien decided to settle in a small flower plain on new land close to the western border of Alpha's Realm. There, he founded the //Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands// with its capital //'s-Gravenfage (Den Faag)//, officially on November 15th. Listed as a government functionary is Grand Pensionary Tomokuroki, whom the Stadtholder considers "my friend".\\
+\\
+**From Free to Duchy**\\
+(fa/sd) The former Free City of Aresia no longer exists as such. On November 9th, its status and name were lifted by newly promoted Duke Tomoko Kuroki, who only that same day joined the Kingdom of Winterlyn with permission of King Niller. The area is now known as the Duchy of Sidonia and reintegrated to Winterlyn of which is was part long ago.\\
+According to the 'Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Commerce between The Duchy of Sidonia and The Mandate of New Badfacia' signed on November 10th by High Commissioner Austrobernd of the Mandatory of New Badfacia and Duke Tomoko Kuroki, the latter currently rents the western part of Grundenburg Abbey "for building and administration rights". The details can be read on the page [[https://dev-urandom.eu/treaties:treaty_of_badforest]].\\

+**__Regional News__**\\
+\\
+**New NEAR Line**\\
+(bc) Brave members of the Brazil Cooperation ventured into the Nether on November 8th and built a small station around their portal. With the assistance of Residents Hailmarx and Danico, the station could be connected to the NEAR Netherhub three days later, granting the ever increasing Brazil population easier access to their new home upon their first entrance into Alpha's Realm.\\
+\\
+**Camelot Redesigned**\\
+(fc) Resident Hostes, who had started building the Fortress Camelot on a northern peninsula in the Norteastern Sea back in July, returned on November 9th to his previous territory. In an interview he explained that he was the one who demolished the church built by Swamp Paladin Massolit, and that rather than sticking with the fortress idea, "I think it's time to build a city." He has since started with the outline of a road and the first building in simple design.\\
+\\
+**Aesthetic Infighting**\\
+(bc) On October 13th, Resident Pixel of the Brazil Cooperation reported a successful raid of his property by his own landsmen. "They say we need to do ugly stuff first," explained the single builder among them who showed a sense of aesthetics and style in his creations, "and farm items." The damage was repaired by a moderator and the culprits received a two day prison sentence. Resident Pixel maintains his position of, "I'm just playing for fun, don't wanna rush like them." In patriotic spirit, he did not release to the press the names of the landsmen responsible for the attack.\\
+\\
+**Halfway House**\\
+(pg/bc) Halfway between Phiagrica and what constitutes the center of Brazil Cooperation, Resident Nanico started building a home on November 7th. While it was left unfinished since then, it is located in a splendid position to warrant a continuation of the swamp highway in that direction, should the Brazilians wish to connect their budding nation to the wide trade route Resident Santikaye established last month.\\

+**__Local News__**\\
+\\
+**Midgard Store Closed**\\
+(mm/ns) Since last week's issue, with the permission of God AlphaBernd the newspaper MARNIE is now sold on the balcony of the Admin Office on New Spawn. Having lost its primary purpose, the Midgard Store which housed the stall before was deemed unprofitable and has thus been closed.\\
+Books other than the newspaper, that might be released by AMUN Publishing in the future, will remain available at the UBS in the Marketplace. Any other materials Midgard merchants wish to sale will be offered in stores on our own island.\\
+\\
+**Station Repainted**\\
+(mm) Midgard travelers recently noted upon returning that the submarine station level was not designed very welcoming to arrivals. They suggested repainting the walls, at least to the extent of the above-surface levels. Since the instigators quickly gathered support among the populace, Midgard Administration redistributed materials mined during the pillar excavation and had the station walls painted in granite, and polished to match the rest of the station mall.\\

 **The Return of King Shakomatic**\\
-(ab) During the past week, King Shakomatic of the Apostolic Kingdom of Breshik returned to Alpha Realm after several months of absence and promptly ventured out to snare in new dig slaves. He managed to get ahold of Resident Bazooka_Joe who also recently returned after a hiatus. In exchange for "a house in town" and "supplies", Resident Bazooka_Joe agreed to help build the cathedral in Nova Bydlograd.\\
