Good work Balkair. Can't wait for the new HQ in your city!

[Journalist]: Just a few hours before the Summit begins in Ylmeria, thousands of protesters are marching down Victory avenue towards the venue which will host the Summit (Eastside Palace). They are asking why the rest of the COFR did nothing when the military came to power, seven Gameyears ago. "What Communication? What Trust? And above all, what FREEDOM? We have none of these! And what did the COFR do? Nothing!" says a young adult. Will the government respond with violense? One thing is for certain - we are up for one hell of a summit!

Thanks everyone; comments with the next update!!

Here is an update on the Uprising:

The protests started out peacefully, however the government ordered that Riot Police take any measures they can to prevent the protestors from reaching Eastside Palace, where the COFR Summit was held. Only five out of thirty-six delegations managed to reach Eastside Palace and the negotiations started as scheduled.

However protests turned violent over night, where certain buildings have been set aflame and protests still continue to rage in downtown Ylmeria as well as other major Shalman cities.

The Prime Minister stated that all necessary actions would be taken to prevent further demonstrations from taking place, even if that means the army taking action.

Looks like real trouble right here in Ylmeria City...

Riot Update:

2 days ago:

Today a demonstration at the Rainbow District of Ylmeria turned violent, and two buildings were set on fire and completely distroyed, right by the Hotel Rainbow.

Later on a demonstration at the Hypertrophy district of Ylmeria also turned violent and the protesters set fire to two kiosks outside the Institute of Hypertrophy Studies, which was also set aflame and is still burning.

The Prime Minister refused to declare a State of Emergency and made it clear that the government would use the military if the situation worsens.

So far there have been 4,502 arrests, 14,893 injuries and 23 deaths according to non-Shalman sources. The Government rejects the later two.

The Prime Minister also condemned the rioting which occured in other nations of the Confederacy of Free Regions to support the Shalman Free Government which supports the rioting and the fall of the Junta. The Shalman Free Government is based in the Hiigaran Confederacy.

Yesterday:

Yesterday evening more demonstrations were held which were eventually halted by tanks of the Imperial Ground Forces. Several protesters set fire to buildings and kiosks. The Riot Police was forced to use teargas.

Workers Unions announced a General Strike, and the workers at Emperor Aldior International Spaceport of Ylmeria set fire to one of the terminals and two of Imperial Spaceline's brand new spaceliners.

The number of arrests has reached 56,023 with 3,488 injured and 78 dead. The Government has not confirmed any of those sources.

As of today nothing will be working in the Empire, whether public sector or private sector, and even students have stated that there would be demonstrations untill the government steps down. A big demonstration is scheduled for tomorrow in Ylmeria's Imperial College in the outskirts of the Capital of the Empire.

There is some heavy modding done here. Those roads and avenues have been revamped for the better! They look absolutely amazing. And that gigantic round-a-bout! Simple fantastic!
