Vulipin Tribune 1st Edtion
As we all may have seen Shib has made her long awaited return to Vulpinia, she has so far been welcomed back with open arms and happy greetings! Since her eventful leave shes been on quite the journey, so I've decided to ask her a few questions and interview her since shes back. Is it good to be back?

"It’s really great having a permanent place to settle down in again and people I know I can trust."

What was exile like?

"Honestly it was a bit thrilling at first but quickly got annoying and ended up causeing more damage that it was worth."

What did you miss about Vulpinia the most?

"I miss Tildivul the most. It’s certainly a nice city to look at."

After all the hardships you went through and after loosing a lot is there anything an everyday Vulpa can do to help you?

"I’m not nearly as enthusiastic about paying for all a Vulpinia’s needs myself anymore after taking such a loss to my net worth, so some people contributing even just a few hundred bucks a week to pay for upkeep would definitely help out now."

That's all the questions I had for Shib while we were on snowy walls of Tildivul. It was quite the moment we shared.

A lot has happened in Vulpinia over the past few weeks, So here is a recap of some events and stories you may have missed.

The Dissolving war. ''A war was looming over Eldham, and Vulpinia was right in the middle of it. Regardless how the war started The commonwealth that Vulpinia is a part of did not seem to be on the defensive side, many vuls are against aggressive war as it is not in their nature. After a few days it seemed like both sides had gathered a considerable amount of support, leading to what now looks like the dissolving stages of this looming war.''

The first great Vulpinia FestiVul!

''The first ever festiVul was held on the 23/10. Many citizens of the festiVul attended and also some visitors from USSE not just attended but took home the victory and the prize money. Congrats to Envyorer on your victory over the vuls.''

''After the tournament a great after party was held in the Tildivul hall where everyone drank their fill on plenty of Exquisite Ale, Brandy and Scotch whiskey. During the festivities our great Valar CaptainWesteros announced the new government position of Chancellor that will be elected by the people of Vulpinia very soon I have heard.'' ''Lastly towards the end of the festivul it was time for the 'Guest Speaker' to make his announcement. That speaker was myself, I proceed to get on my knees and propose to Shib, all went accordingly and she said yes! We plan on getting married very soon and we want all of Vulpinia to attend. Official invite coming soon.''

Reports of drug related crime.

''There has been many anonymous reports of drug related crime in the south and Vulpinia especially. Reports have said the purest of cocaine has been coming from somewhere in Vulpinia, It has been said that the high is one of the best to be had in Eldham. Any one with further information is encouraged to come forward and pass on any information they have.''

A new beginning for Sparport.

''After sparport was abandoned many moons ago it has sat in the northern part of Vulpinia completley untocuhed. After some thorough investigation it seems a giant tree has emerged from the earth taking up a third of the city, Many vuls including myself have decided to move into this tree and start a new life in the trunk of this enormous tree. Anyone is welcome to come to sparport and set up a home, shop or even just help out with the development of this now overgrowing city.''

A lurking rat.

''A rat king has been lurking the roads of Vulpinia, Spreading his religion of Ratism. He was spotted outside of Vulthalla threatening violence against anyone who is against Ratisim. Anyone that see's any rats is highly encouraged to talk to your local rat exterminators so this problem is dealt with before there is another dirty plague on our hands. Sponsored advert''

Vulpin Tribune 3rd Edition.
The Kingdom of Jabal a once active and prosperous nation located on Serrona between Batu and Vulpinia what happened to them in today’s article I will tell you.

The first weeks of Serrona.

''In the First week of Serrona was near impossible to play due to low tps but people did manage to find lands they had wished to settle upon four nations that had decided were Vulpinia, Batu, Jabal and Stalis Vulpinia and Batu settled in the exact same biome well Jabal settled in the plains to the south Stalis was located off continent near Eleanor. Vulpinia and Batu immediately started off discussing who would be the one to move Batu having the larger population base and bigger allies was decided to be the one to stay in the northern tundra while Vulpinia would head to the southern tundra all the while Jabal was starting its town.''

First incidents.

''After the situation of overlapping claims between Vulpinia and Batu had been resolved there was one final claim to be dealt with The Jabali claim which lied directly between Batu and Vulpinia. After trying to approach them diplomatically and only receiving spitting insults a more aggressive stance was taken by Vulpinia and Batu one of war.''

Stalis.

Stalis although small had sent troops to aid Vulpinia and you may be wondering why a nation so far away would have joined in the Coalition it started with Xen contacting a Stalite called the Marblefox because of his fox skin after speaking for a bit Marble told Xen to go speak with Blackleaf the leader of Stalis after days of speaking Xen approached Blackleaf with the offer of a alliance Blackleaf offered to become a protectorate instead due to Stalis stagnating, And so Stalis joined the Coalition.

The Jabal Accords.

After Jabal proved unwilling to negotiate War was threatened and a party consisting of Vuls, Batuans and one Stalite had gathered at the Jabal capital dressed in full Diamond as a power move Jabal being under prepared for the possibility of war finally opened up to negotiations the Jabali king Nadir although angered realized the fate of his nation was at stake took the deal which involved the entirety of the Jabal kingdom moving far west across the Aquinterra sea but the coalition had to help demolish the remaining walls around Jabal and have the resources returned to Jabal.

What happend to Jabal?

''After the accords were signed Jabal formed a large kingdom in Arsine for a short while but cracks started to appear and fast soon many states declared independence some went to the AWE others just remained independent Jabal. Went through a era of humiliation because of Nadir and never recovered now there lands are left abandoned and rotting if you wish to see the remains of there former capital in Serrona they lie in the Batu city of Amavos which underwent huge transformations when Jacob owl took control.''

Vulpin Tribune 4th Edition.
It has been a very eventful day in Vulpinia, and I know many are eagerly waiting for a recap and some more information. So here is my First report on the situation.

The Accusation.

''The blind siding accusation was the first thing to bring all this conflict to light. Xen claims that joining the SDA (Serrona Defensive Alliance) is just a cover up attempt to sell Vulpinia to U.S.S.E. Both CaptainWesteros and U.S.S.E have denied these claims. Xens claims do not have hard evidence that this is all true, but that's not to say it isn't and his claims are not yet dismissed. This could possibly be outside interference.''

The Deformation of characters.

''Obviously the accusation has dragged CaptainWesteros' name through the dirt, at the same time Xen has been publicly denounced by Nova Azcoria and U.S.S.E as a false claimant. That prooves there is no way Xen could peacefully take the spot of Valar. All he wants is CaptainWeseros to be out of power, so he proposed that instead of taking Valar for himself they come to an agreement and make Shib the Valar.''

Current state of Vulpinia.

''It seems tensions are very high in Vulpinia at the moment but we are at a stalemate, there is threat of bloodshed in Vulpinia, Xen is not willing to back down and either is CaptainWesteros. If things are not worked out soon civil war is inevitable. People have already started flocking to Vulpinia in preparation of war.''

Future of Vulpinia.

''Most citizens are neutral in all of this and a lot are still unsure of the whole picture. Things have quieted down for today but it seems like it is not over. The best thing for Vulpinia right now is for the citizens to stay united and still prepare for anything that could happen. The Vulpin Tribune will continue to cover everything and stay completely neutral, as long as its within the morals of everyday Vuls.''

Vulpin Tribune 5th Edition
It has been a stressful night for Vulpinia, the chance of a divide in the nation. As you may know Xen attempted to take throne in fear of Vulpinia falling. Today I interviewed both Xen, and our valar, Captain Westeros.

Xen.

What led you to accuse captain of being paid by the USSE?

"I've received several notices about Westeros at the time essentially getting bought off by USSE, and after the first 2 I started to realize that something was probably up, and though they never showed any transactions between Chek and Westeros, it was the fact that many people from many places had backed up the same statement."

Do you still believe that captain is doing shady business with the USSE, if so why?

"I am lead to believe that, due to the fact that he is constantly talking with them and needing their support to further his own actions."

If you were able to take the throne, what would you have done differently then westeros?

"Nearly everything to be honest, mainly sticking to Nuncio's original fundamentals and not joining anything related to a Federation or merger, leaving the SDA once the USSE and Kaladinia tried to exploit it more or less, and then sticking to our original allies in Bai and Batu but due to Batu being dead it would've been just Bai essentially while still maintaining good relations with Azcoria."

Do you think vulpinia will fall under westeros's hands?

"..Perhaps, depending on if he continues to do what he is doing. I cannot just give a yes or no to that due to Nuncio being more involved now."

Many people want evidence of your accusation, how come you don’t show any?

"It's mostly to comply with what Grimm is saying to be honest, he states that its to protect the person and it technically breaks tos until the original person gives permission, so if anything I am more or less going by what Grimm says in terms of the evidence."

Captainwesteros

What did you feel like when the accusations came out on you?

"I was honestly shocked. I have never once talked to anyone about selling the nation. I was completely blindsided by my brother, Xen."

Do you think Xen had a right to accuse you of being paid by the USSE?

"Xen completely lied about the claim. He took offense that I didn’t listen to him when he wanted to pull out of the SDA as well as our other alliances with our neighbors."

What was it like seeing many people against you, and many people with you?

"All I could do was tell my story and hope people believed me. I prayed my reputation as an honorable Valar and Vul would prevail. It looks like it has done that with all the support I got."

If Xen did take the throne, do you think he would make vulpinia fall?

"Xen will never take the throne. His goal was not to do this, rather play the strings in the background like he has tried to do since the beginning."

Now that things have settled down, do you think you can prove that you can make Vulpinia great?

"I feel like I am always in a winning position as Valar. The reason I say this is because of my citizens belief in me. I believe I have done great things so far in my rule. I feel like I have expanded Vulpinia’s rule and allies a great deal. New friends all over Serrona and throughout the world have been made since I have been Valar. I believe I will continue to do these things until the end of my days."

'''Frogo. — 11/01/2021'''

Vulpin Tribune 6th edition.
Once again Vulpinia has been quite a busy nation, there is a lot to cover today, thanks to CaptainWesteros for keeping the nation active with many new exiting announcements.

Easily persuaded, easily forgiven.

''After no hard evidence was brought forward about Xens claims to CaptainWesteros trying to sell off Vulpinia it seems the coup has come to an end. Reports show of outside interference bringing Xen false information, leading him to truly believe our valar would sell the nation he has worked so hard to grow and protect. Xen has been stripped of his rights as heir to the throne and has returned to being a normal citizen again. We wish Xen all the best in working back his trust in Vulpinia as he is a very respected member of this community.''

Vice Valar elections.

''Since the position of Vice Valar/Chancellor of Vulpina was announced at the very first FestiVul it has been the talk of Vulpina. The position was only open for Vulpinian citizens. The candidate adverts started shortly after the position was announced, it seems like of the 4 people to run in the elections it is only down to 2 candidates, Myself (BeastlyBrock) and Duskamitas. There was a big debate held today in the election chat where both parties had many things to say. The elections will come to a close and be announced on Wednesday.''

Batu, the province.

''As I’m sure you have heard by now the former nation of Batu has been split between Nova Azcoria and Vulpinia. Batu has been split into the following provinces Old Batu in the west, Shamania along the border of Nova Azcoria and Rynwood has been extended further north. All new citizens are welcome with open arms, and we also welcome our newest noble Carado Akitut! We hope to see both cultures thrive under a single banner, as batu was always a close neighbour and ally. We now share A direct border with Nova Azcoria.''

'''BeastlyBrock. — 11/02/2021'''

Vulpin Tribune 7th edition.
The Vice Valar Elections.

''The elections for Vice Valar/Chancellor of Vulpinia has come to an end, after many election campaigns and a heated debate between parties it was finally time to announce the new vice valar. It was a landslide victory for BeastlyBrock winning with a staggering 64% of the vote. There was also a lot of talk about the vote being rigged, our journalists are looking into these reports. The first term of vice valar will run until January the 1st where another election will take place.''

BeastlyBrocks first statement to the public. ''“Thankyou all to those who voted for me and a big thankyou to my competitors who made this an interesting election, I will continue to work tirelessly for our great nation. We will push forward towards our goal of 100 citizens as we are getting closer every day. I encourage all to come visit me in Sparport as I have setup a shared warehouse for all the nations material needs.”''

Malicious fake news.

''The local communist paper from parts of Serrona, The Red Quill, has been spreading false news about Captainwesteros and the U.S.S.E alike, they claim there has been an undercover operation to invade notos and annex its lands. There has been no formal evidence brought to light other than “anonymous informants”. This is just malicious propaganda set up by The Red Quill to support they’re plot to drag CaptainWesteros’ and Vulpinias reputation through the dirt. Vulpinians are encouraged not to respond to The Red Quill journalists as they have may try to twist interviews to fit their story.''

Vulpin Tribune 8th Edition
The island of Nurtahungla so small but such a strange story are you ready to hear it?

The discovery.

The island was discovered soon after the much larger and more strategic Keylon(Konowana) despite it not being as relevant the name of the man who discovered it was at the time Duskamitas of Vulpinia had claimed to sight the island on 30th of June while on the same day Araceli of the Bai federation claimed to have sighted it giving it its name Nurtahungla.

The dispute.

The island was considered part of Vulpinia and Bai without the other noticing or really carding until Vulpinia announced its claim to the island in the guilds of Rathnir and Eldham by doing this it would spark minor tensions between Vulpinia and Bai but more specifically Burin and Araceli.

The battle for Nurtahungla.

''On the second of July in 2021 Burin and queen Araceli met on the island to wage somewhat of a battle without both of their governments knowledge this was mostly due to the fact that neither the Bai Federation nor the Valardom of Vulpinias knowledge of the islands existence. But anyways the battle had started out with a build battle of forts Burin built on top of the former Bai base while Araceli built down south then Araceli changing tatics started to destroy the base to the Vulpinian fort this lasted a few minutes but Araceli accidentally swung her axe at Burin Burin in response caught her with a fishing rod this led to a 3minute exchange of the two casting fishing rods at each other but stopped for a fishing break to heal the fishing rods from the ravages of war.''

The peace deal.

The island was decided to be split 50/50 the north going to Vulpinia and the south going to Bai at the 24th Parallel and all hostilities between both sides.

Aftermath.

About a week or so later a man by the name of Nanfer had decided to found a town called Mayaro both governments were fine with this and he was allocated the island and now the island is Vulpinian.

To see Red Spill.

''You would expect that journalists would read their competitors papers more closely, there’s been to much misinterpretation of the article Malicious fake news The other newspapers were too quick to jump on the hype of drama and thus spreading more malicious fake news. The operation Rabid fox is never denied by the Vulpin Tribune as its not the undercover operation that was mentioned in the 7th edition of the Tribune, it refers to The Red Quills article where I quote “Rabid Fox would see Vulpinia and the USSE, in a joint invasion, annex Western and Eastern Notos respectively.” This is the malicious fake news mentioned in the Tribune. Rabid fox was a diplomatic plan discussed by certain individuals to help Notos' activity within Serrona, not an aggressive invasion as The Red Quill would lead you to believe. Once again this is an attempt to give the communist paper power amongst the people of Serrona. The Vulpin Tribune will not stand for fake comments about our great nation of Vulpinia.''

Alpine Realty Corparation. Sponsored Advert

''A new realty company has popped up in Serrona, mostly based in Vulpina the company is owned by MiloBarks. There is lots of nice affordable housing being advertised in the company’s discord.

Keep an eye out for some of his fantastic housing, contact Milo or The Vulpin Tribune for a link to his discord.''

Obstruction of justice. ''There had been a court case in the works for weeks, a trial for TwinRift who was being charged for theft, treason, and espionage. BeastlyBrock stepped forward as a lawyer for Twins case, but just days before the court case Twin assaulted a Vulpinian citizen leaving her blind in both eyes, this was not an acceptable act, and he was slain by the Vice Valar BeastlyBrock as retaliation to the assault. The trial was still to continue even though the defendant was dead, even after Brock had killed Twin he would still defend him in the trial. The trial had been planned for weeks with the defendants having the option for a judge or jury, the defendants choose jury and was told the minimum amount of people on the jury would be 7, but on the day of the trial not only was there no jury but the judge had been swapped out for another, something very suspicious was going on. The trial was not going well for the defendant, the whole thing had been set up to find him guilty in the first place with the judge acting on behalf of the prosecution the whole time, this is obstruction of justice. The verdict found Twin guilty on all charges with a fine of $500,000, a predetermined result seemingly setup by the government of the USSE. The judge wanted Vulpinia to pay for Twins fine since a dead man can’t pay, but since Twin was no longer part of Vulpinia it was refused, the whole thing was a set up to try and take money from Vulpinia, but the defendants proved that messing with Vulpinia wasn’t as easy as they thought. Things got very heated after the trial ending with a massacre of the Vulpinian and Notos guests, Vierl of Vulpinia Shib, The Vice Valar BeastlyBrock and a notos official Madleaf we’re all killed in cold blood in the courtroom of Laria, USSE. This will not be soon forgiven, souring the relationship with the members involved, surely the officials of Vulpinia will not stand for the absolute disrespect given out by the USSE officials.''

Vulpinia Is a buzzing nation full of life! The latest census shows that we doubled in population in just a month! Quite a lot has happened in the time since the last tribune, I’m going to cover some of it here now.

New Alliances.

''Once again, the officials in Vulpinia have been hard at work forging new alliances, not to long ago the Valardom signed an alliance treaty with both the Kingdom of Ahalia and the Kingdom of Anglunia. Vulpinia is a peaceful nation that focuses on diplomacy and keeping positive relations with its allies and neighbouring nations in Serrona.''

New Rathnir Land.

''Vulpinina started in Rathnir long ago before moving to Eldham, and since then has not gone back, but after a major purchase from Tortuga we have now got a port town to do up to become a new city. Westport is the name of our new town there and Westreach being the province, this is our 8th province and will soon have a duke and count to govern it. This is a big step for Vulpinia as we will now be able to advertise in Rathnir and be involved with Rathnir politics and diplomacy.'' Royal Wedding.

''The 2 royal houses of Vulpinia will finally have a link after Sunday the 19th. Shib daughter of the Valar Westeros Durradayne and Brock, son of Nuncio Yolcotl the first Valar of Vulpinia is set to marry at Tildivul hall. There will be plenty of booze to be drank and the entire server is invited to join in on the great ceremony that is Shibrock wedding.''

Happy holidays from the Vulpin Tribune! Hope everyone is preparing well for Christmas, as the day is approaching quick. Like always so much is happening in Vulpinia and it’s time everyone got their information directly from the source!

The Great Vulpinian Royal Wedding. ''The Royal wedding between the 2 Royal families of Vulpinia Yolcotl and Durradayne was a huge success! It was a huge wedding with a lot of people showing up from all parts of Eldham. There was no attempted murder or no planned red wedding, things went smoothly on the day thanks to the many helping hands that helped plan the wedding and the Vulpinia military that kept everyone safe. Shib and Brock looked amazing on the day surrounded by many friends and allies, plenty of wedding gifts were given to the Vul couple. After the end of the wedding Brock and Shib retired to Shibrock manor in Sparport to spend their first night together as a married couple.''

Upcoming Vice Valar elections.

''The Vice Valar are once again upon us with many great candidates to vote for! Also, a couple of…. questionable parties campaigning. Be sure to catch the debates to see who your best choice for Vice Valar is. All citizens are eligible to run in the campaigns all citizens are expected to vote. Best of luck to all the participants! Let's hope for some cool storyline and writings to come from this!''
