ukraine.001.t:0 "Peaceful protests turned violent!"
ukraine.001.d:0 "Protests by the Russian-speaking population of Eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Lugansk drew an asymmetrical response from Ukrainian authorities, fearing for the repetition of the so-called Crimean scenario. Ukraine already sent some forces to pacify the rebels, however, they are quickly organising themselves into unrecognized states and their militia into a veritable army."
ukraine.001.a:0 "The conflict reignites!"

creece.001.t:0 "Search warrants in Southern Greece"
creece.001.d:0 "Recently a ship with oranges was discovered by custom services as being a vessel for counterfeit trade. It was detained in the port of Piraeus and will be thorougly searched. The crew already gave up the names of the traffickers, however, no meaningful connection came from it."
creece.001.a:0 "Who would have done that?!"

creece.002.t:0 "The crackdown on Greek mafia"
creece.002.d:0 "Greek mafia wasn't a thing just ten years ago, but today it is rampant throughout the country. Apparently they are financed by one of the Southeast European countries in an attempt to gain more control over impoverished Greek economy. The government started a big crackdown operation and has a goal to eliminate the mafia completely upto next year."
creece.002.a:0 "Worrying."

creece.003.t:0 "Greece turns to Crimean investors"
creece.003.d:0 "Everybody knows major coastal Crimean cities were founded by Greek colonizers in VI ~ V centuries BC. However, currently Greece is an impoverished EU vassal state, and Crimea is an emerging independent neutral economy. The influence of Crimea in both Greece and Cyprus is alarming. Apparently, now the whole Greek economy depends on inner situation in Crimea."
creece.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."

critaly.001.t:0 "Regional investments in Italy"
critaly.001.d:0 "Italian regionalism for long enough presents itself as a threat to Italian unity. The income disparity between South and North is also very much visible. Therefore, it is in interests of Italy to bridge this gap and to invest in impoverished regions, trying to dissuade young people from connecting to mafia groups."
critaly.001.a:0 "Let's hope they will bridge the gap."

critaly.002.t:0 "The crackdown on Italian mafia"
critaly.002.d:0 "Italian mafia always was more present in the southern part of the country. However, recent regional investments by both Italian and abroad governments turned the tide and currently it is more lucrative to work officially in new southern Italy enterprises, than to try to extort something from someone."
critaly.002.a:0 "Boring."

critaly.003.t:0 "A victory for Seven Stars!"
critaly.003.d:0 "Everybody knows major coastal Crimean cities were in possession by Genoa and Veneto companies upto XIII century AD. However, today its Crimea who finances the political separatism in North Italy, repaying back its debt and duty to help those two cities. Genoa and Veneto already managed to form autonomous communities for themselves, negotiating them with the central govenment. Currently the whole North Italian economy depends on inner situation in Crimea."
critaly.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."

critaly.004.t:0 "A Papacy state, reborn!"
critaly.004.d:0 "Once Kefe (Theodosia) was a seat for a Kefe Exarchate - a powerful structure inside the Catholic church, spanning vast expanses from Sbruch to Volga rivers. When Crimea negotiated a restoration of this structure, ties between Crimea and Holy See increased, and now Papal economy gains yearly subsidies from Crimea. They already bought almost all land in Central Italy and are planning to expand further."
critaly.004.a:0 "What a turn of events."

critaly.005.t:0 "Southern Mafia strikes back!"
critaly.005.d:0 "The south of Italy always felt like it was exploited badly by the North and Central Italians. Naples and Sicily always were the hotbed for illegal activities, however, they have their own unwritten laws and code of honour. Therefore, with a substantial foreign support, they now unilaterally declared independence, and the enfeebled Italian state was forced to recognize it. Southern Italy officials already plan to legalize gambling and more previously illegal activities."
critaly.005.a:0 "What a turn of events."

critaly.006.t:0 "A ban on Seven Stars!"
critaly.006.d:0 "The major political party 'Seven Stars' was recently accused of being a foreign agent and receiving huge donations from outside of Italy. Italian authorities already imprisoned the top brass of the party and heavily fined everyone else. Apparently, the separatist feelings are quenched for now."
critaly.006.a:0 "And they call themselves a democracy."

critaly.007.t:0 "Heavy discussions with the Holy See."
critaly.007.d:0 "Recently Holy See engaged in buying Central Italian soil wholesale. This activity apparently contravenes the treaty about the recognition of it as an independent state. Therefore Italy claimed eminent domain on those lands and unilaterally returned all of them to the Italian government. Money which Holy See paid for those lands would not be refunded."
critaly.007.a:0 "A sad day for all the believers."

critaly.008.t:0 "Counter-terrorist operation in Sicily."
critaly.008.d:0 "Recently Guarda de Finanza conducted a major counter-terrorist operation in Sicily. They arrested several officials which laundered money for the construction of Sicilian Bridge. Apparently, the money came from abroad and was in fact purposed to fuel nationalist sentiments across the South of Italy. Major mafia bosses already condemned the scammers and said they have no relation to this daring project and prefer to stay in Italian legal ambiguity."
critaly.008.a:0 "That was to be expected."

cr_hk.002.t:0 "Hong Kong status - no changes"
cr_hk.002.d:0 "As trade ties of China to Hong Kong are increasing every day, there is no autonomy in sight in the foreseeable future. Apparently, HK would be integrated in China even earlier than 2047, at least de-facto."
cr_hk.002.a:0 "As expected."

cr_hk.003.t:0 "Hong Kong status - a third owner appears!"
cr_hk.003.d:0 "As Hong Kong lost most of its western investors, some Crimean oligarchs gained quite a foothold in the city. They persuaded Chinese authorities that the city would be better staying separate from China to try to attract more investments, guaranteed by the new status. And so the control over territory was effectively transferred to Crimea."
cr_hk.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."

cr_mc.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

cr_mc.002.t:0 "Macau status - no changes"

cr_mc.002.a:0 "As expected."

cr_mc.003.t:0 "Macau status - a third owner appears!"
cr_mc.003.d:0 "As Macau lost most of its long-time players, some Crimean oligarchs gained quite a foothold in the city.

And so the control over territory was effectively transferred to Crimea."
cr_mc.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."

cr_qd.001.t:0 "Negotiations around the status of Qingdao"
cr_qd.001.d:0 "As China tries to close its most successful brewery, citizens of Qingdao are worrying about potential job loss in the city. German-descent minority also feels threatened as their culture is virtually eliminated from the public space. Crimean authorities stepped in and tried to present a mediation scheme for China."

cr_qd.002.t:0 "Qingdao status - no changes"
cr_qd.002.d:0 "Rejecting any attempts to discuss Shandong province territorial inseparability, as Qingdao is even bigger than Jinan, provincial authorities blocked any advances of Crimean oligarchs."

cr_qd.003.d:0 "After numerous peaceful demonstrations and sit-ins by german-descent minority in Qingdao as well as after international pressure, China agreed to make Qingdao an international city and appoint Crimea as a neutral overseer country."

cr_dr.001.t:0 "Negotiations around the status of Dalian"

cr_dr.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

cr_dr.002.t:0 "Dalian status - no changes"
cr_dr.002.d:0 "Liaoning provincial authorities declined any attempts of discussing its territorial integrity. Dalian is a key port for them, and their GDP is high enough, so they can afford the loss of the Intel foundry, failing to see its potential benefits."
cr_dr.002.a:0 "As expected."

cr_dr.003.t:0 "The Crimean cavalry in Port-Arthur once more!"
cr_dr.003.d:0 "After negotiations, China agreed that the city of Dalian can lose its potential while being subjected to anti-Chinese regulations worldwide. The city was transferred under temporary Crimean stewardship. Crimea already scheduled a public festival commemorating the role of Crimean cavalry in the defence of Port-Arthur during Russo-Japanese war."
cr_dr.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."


cr_zj.001.t:0 "Negotiations around the status of Zhangjiang"

cr_zj.002.t:0 "Zhangjiang status - no changes"
cr_zj.002.d:0 "Guangdong provincial authorities declined any attempts of discussing its territorial integrity. Zhangjiang is a popular destination for provincial dwellers, unable to get to Hainan because of lack of tickets. And so it would not be separated from the province."

cr_zj.003.t:0 "Zhangjiang becomes the new autonomous city in China!"

#STRAITS SETTLEMENTS


cranama.001.t:0 "Negotiations around the Panama channel security"
cranama.001.d:0 "Venezuelan migrants are threatening the safe operations of the Panama Channel. Crimean border guards are proposing themselves for patrolling the channel, freeing American troops for the operations in Darien Gap. The proposition is risky and we better strike it down according to the Monroe doctrine."
cranama.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

cranama.002.t:0 "Panama channel zone - migrants still flowing"
cranama.002.d:0 "As the US referenced the Monroe doctrine in negotiations, it politely declined Crimean attempts to present their border guards for guarding the Panama channel. This leaves Darien Gap almost without cover by American troops, which are busy around the channel. Many illegals are still traversing dangerous jungles to get into Panama or further towards the US."
cranama.002.a:0 "As expected."

cranama.003.t:0 "Panama channel zone - increased security"
cranama.003.d:0 "As Crimea provided its border guards for the channel, as well as taking over the repair and maintenance procedures, American engineer corps in concordance with Panaman authorities began to construct a formidable wall near the Darien jungles as well as clearing the patch of the forest nearing the city. They want the space being easily patrollable to deter illegal aliens."
cranama.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."


cregypt.001.t:0 "The construction tender for the expansion of Suez Channel"
cregypt.001.d:0 "Crimea proposes the lease agreement for the Suez Channel to construct its second line. They want not only construct but also operate the channel for quite some time after the opening. If we do not want them to win the auction, we should act decisively and quickly!"
cregypt.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

cregypt.002.t:0 "Suez Channel - the deal falls through!"
cregypt.002.d:0 "The Crimean bid was considered too cheap by Egyptian authorities and so they were concerned about work safety risks around the project."
cregypt.002.a:0 "As expected."

cregypt.003.t:0 "Suez Channel - the cheapest bid wins!"
cregypt.003.d:0 "The cheapest bid was proposed by the Crimean company K-Consol of Vladimir Konstantinov. The company already began the construction phase of first several miles, and the planning stage for terminals at both ends is already nearing completion. Many are worried about such a quick and decisive takeover of the project by Crimean industrialists."
cregypt.003.a:0 "Let's hope it would not collapse."

cribraltar.001.t:0 "Negotiations around the status of Gibraltar"
cribraltar.001.d:0 "As Britain is formally obliged to return Gibraltar to Spain in the far future, it is very concerned about any attempts to actually do so. Crimean authorities proposed a way to circumvent those obligations - Britain can simply 'return' the territory to the wrong country! That way the territory would be preserved, and Crimea would keep docking rights of Britain in Gibraltar."
cribraltar.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

cribraltar.002.t:0 "Gibraltar status - no changes"
cribraltar.002.d:0 "The negotiations halted after Morocco reminded of Spanish enclaves on its territory, further exacerbating the diplomatic complexions of the issue."
cribraltar.002.a:0 "As expected."

cribraltar.003.t:0 "A wedge between Britain and Spain"
cribraltar.003.d:0 "Crimean authorities negotiated a deal with Britain, which allowed it to formally relinquish Gibraltar while keeping its status, residents, citizenship and, most importantly, tax system and docking rights. Apparently nothing changed, but Spain is very angry about this deal."
cribraltar.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."


cringapore.001.t:0 "Singapore-Crimea union proposal"
cringapore.001.d:0 "As Singapore is a trade hub with China and Crimea is a trade hub with exUSSR, the two countries are in an ideal position to cooperate. What can come out of this?"
cringapore.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

cringapore.002.t:0 "Singapore union status - the project falls through"
cringapore.002.d:0 "Singapore declined the Crimean-Singapore union proposal, failing to see its potential benefits."
cringapore.002.a:0 "Our differences were too high."

cringapore.003.t:0 "The Singapore-Crimea union is born!"
cringapore.003.d:0 "After negotiations, Singapore agreed that the union would be beneficial for all sides. They also recognized Crimean army and economy as being superior to theirs and agreed Crimea to have the lead role in this partnership."
cringapore.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."


crurkey.001.t:0 "Negotiations between Crimean authorities and Ahmet Davutoğlu"
crurkey.001.d:0 "Ahmet Davutoğlu is known for his vocal opposition against Erdoğan. Crimean authorities, apparently, try to extract some benefit from their situation, we should keep them in check!"
crurkey.001.a:0 "They want to negotiate? Let's negotiate!"

crurkey.002.t:0 "Davutoğlu arrested!"
crurkey.002.d:0 "Yesterday Ahmet Davutoğlu was arrested under charges of treason and plotting a government coup in concordance with Crimean intelligence residents. Turkey already condemned Crimean meddling into its affairs and began large-scale purge in armed forces, which are known for their kemalist sympathies."
crurkey.002.a:0 "Another bunch of traitors brought to justice."

crurkey.003.t:0 "Turkish Republic fractures in a civil war!"
crurkey.003.d:0 "The tension between Recep Tayıp Erdoğan and Ahmet Davutoğlu always was high. Their views were differing too much. After all, the former Prime-Minister sided with Republicans and rebelled against central authorities. Grabbing a foothold in European laic part of country, he opposes the central government, and taken by surprise, Turkish officials recognized the de-facto state of events, however, stating that they would definitely take the European Turkey back given the chance, they only fear civilian casualties in 15-mln city of Istanbul, which became the capital of a breakaway republic."
crurkey.003.a:0 "What a turn of events."

cribouti.003.t:0 "Djibouti accepts our help"
cribouti.003.d:0 "Financial standing of Djibouti was of concern for quite some times. Crimea built there several industrial objects, and so now Djibouti is counting only on its own forces as well as Crimean help instead of draconian open port unequal treaties.\n\n On a side note, a crimean company by the name of Stamboli Tea, Coffee & Tobacco LLC wants to gain ground in the country to conduct lucrative operations with neighboring Ethiopia."
cribouti.003.a:0 "Crimea shall guide them towards the light of civilization."

cranghai.003.t:0 "Shanghai liberates itself!"
cranghai.003.d:0 "As more and more Chinese port cities are gaining territorial autonomy, Shanghai wasn't content with its status of a central municipality. It already lost some companies such as HoYoVerse to the independent Singapore. And so, when even southern small Zhangjiang bragged its autonomy, Shanghai authorities declared independence. They will not fall subject to anyone, but instead, just like in the 30s, they would accept any citizen of any major country to the city."
cranghai.003.a:0 "Well that was unexpected to say the least."
