Political Parties of the Empire:

People's Action Party
A sprawling coalition of centrist and centre-left minor political parties, all fixated on improving workers rights, and turning the Atlantian Empire into a well educated, equal country. Originally founded by the fusion of the Populist Party and the Socialist Party in 1910, the PAP has evolved to represent workers from all over the empire, and to encompass a large variety of policies instead of their original, single political aims.

Imperial Glory Party
A party of centre-right and right wing politicians, many of which advocate interventionist policies, the restoration of the monarchy, and the acquisition of more territory. Large and gaining popularity by the day, the IGP has absorbed smaller parties such as the National Front, the Royalist Party, and the Freedom Party, and holds a hefty 1/4th of all seats in the Assembly as of the latest election. One of its main political aims is total control over the Darsan Straights, an area which has been heavily contested as of late.

People's Populist Party
A medium sized political party formed from the splinters of the Populist Party after its fusion with the Socialist Party in 1910. Its main goals are individual rights, labor reform, and ensuring peace with other nations.

New World Order Party
A medium sized political party advocating the acquisition of more territory at the expense of other countries. Nationalist at its roots, the NWOP has made it a priority to control the Darsan Straights if ever brought into power, while two distant goals include the reinstatement of the monarchy and the absolute, utter destruction and annexation of the Tiranian Republic to the west.

Popular Front Party
A medium sized party advocating massive socialist labor reforms, reconciliation with other nations, and the cessation of any territorial claim of the Darsan Straights. A massive supporter of peace with other nations, something uncommon in the smaller parties. The PFP, unfortunately, is run by a small cadre of foreign born citizens, and has had difficulty in obtaining any seats in the Assembly.

The next election is set for three months from now.

Democratic People's Front
The DPF, known as The Party, is the largest legal party in the Democratic Atlantian Republic. It is currently under the leadership of the Leader of the People Felix Gouin. Publically it supports humanitarian measures, but behind closed doors, the DPF commonly arrests people with little to no justification, and is in the process of dismantling the government ministries, removing political enemies from their positions. Some are executed, while others are sent to a prison on the island of Cataan.
The official doctrine of the DPF is "Social justice and final liberation from Bolsheviks, Corporate Democrat Fascites, and Communist Terrorists". Since such a wide range of different systems are mentioned, it is unclear what the actual goal of the movement is, and generally debates end up in a quagmire of accusatory remarks and blatant insults. It has been theorized that the majority of the people in the party are schizophrenic, owing to their ability to think and interpret one thing, and seemingly say the absolute opposite. Additionally they are masters of media manipulation, and are able to turn any news story into a crusade against whichever group has most recently annoyed them.

NEWS UPDATE
In an unprecedented turn today, the Department of the Navy announced the beginning of the decommission of 20 of 23 Salmon class SSNs to begin next week. Additionally, orders were passed to the Naval Shipyards at Pedosia to begin construction of fifteen new Pike-II class SSNXs, a newly designed variant based on the successes and failures of the Pike class SSNX during sea trials. The upgrade features two more torpedo tubes, six vertical launch tubes, and the long awaited supercavitation ability which was conspicuously missing during last month's naval exercises.
Also, today, the Intelligence Directorate released an updated version of the Fleet Status report, reflecting the introduction of the new AES Triumphant, a Scinfax class Submarine Carrier obtained from the Free Republic of Belka after the signature of a treaty of mutual defense. More at 11.

LAND UNIT SPECIFICATIONS
AEM-6A2
Upgraded 37 Years War tanks, featuring enhanced Explosive Reactive Armor, active anti-missile countermeasures, a 120mm smoothbore gun, and highly efficient turbine engines which can run on 1 gallon of gasoline for two miles, as opposed to .6 miles per gallon, common in most modern tanks.

AEM-3A1
A relatively new design, the AEM-3A1 is an infantry fighting vehicle with room for four embarked infantrymen. Although it has a low capacity for its size, the AEM-3A1 boasts a powerful 75mm gun with the ability to fire HEAT, HEPF, and AP shells, and a radar guided missile system utilizing technologies developed for, oddly enough, the Pike class submarine.

AEM-8A6
A trusty design dating back to the height of the 37 Years War, the AEM-8A6 boasts a 200mm cannon and precise, well designed fire control system refined over six modifications and enhancements. Combined with its support vehicles, it is able to put firepower on target at extreme ranges, and makes up the independent Mechanized Artillery sections of the Atlantian Self Defense Force.

ANNN - Atlantian National News Network Bulletin

Three Salmon class submarines, AES Metz, AES Strasbourg, and AES Mulhouse, have been fully retired and are now in the process of being stripped for components. The Metz will serve as a museum to the 37 Years War, and the Strasbourg and Mulhouse will remain in storage as reserve vessels for the next fifteen years. Reactivation time for the submarines is estimated at six months, however, they are still listed as for sale at their original price of $800 million, and Navy officials say that they will be reassembled and shipped to the purchaser. The retirement of these vessels comes just months after Atlantian engineers announced a lucrative contract to build fifteen Pike class submarines. The sale of these vessels, which were paid off during the 37 Years War through war reparations and extremely heightened taxes, is expected to pay for the majority of the new submarines, the first three of which have already come off the production lines. It is now up to Navy officers of the Procurement and Liquidation Division to sell the AE's remaining 12 active Salmon class submarines, and the Strasbourg and Mulhouse, to other nations around the globe.

Lyrics:
Out of the ruins of war,
We arise with sword in hand!
Left by the others, forged by fire,
Atlantia, our motherland!
--------
We fight for right and freedom,
We fight for dig’nity and grace!
Forsaken by our allies, we stood alone in the past,
Against all odds!
Against all odds!
--------
Motherland your beaut’ful grace surpassed by none other
For you and freedom we fight against the invader
To battle my comrades! Never surrender the flag!
--------
In the hour of our vict’ry
We shall be merciful
Oh At-lant-ia!
We fight for thee!
--------
Onwards we go, my comrades!
Brothers-in-arms, all!
Fight for Atlantia, our homeland! Fight for the freedom of all!
Onwards! March! Raise the banner!
Sieze the day for us all!
--------
Here we stand against the future
Flag unfurled in heavn’s breeze!
For Atlantia!
For At-lant-ia!
