Free Drolite Media
Special Thanks to: Azazia (I think...whoever made their own news thread and starts with an 'A'), seeing his thread gave me the idea for mine.
Free Drolite Media (FDM) was the first media station to break away from the former Alexi Dynasty controlled media outlet known as "Imperiosus Novus", and as been widely regarded as the most government-free media outlet. That reputation has allowed this media outlet to expand beyond Domesitc Transmisison, and now are are sending transmissions internationally threw a series of recently launched sateliates.

Tensions High
Viscon,Droloon - Since the Conversion to Christianity and the Rise of Democracy in the former Imperial Dominion of Droloon, the rise of the Christian Imperial Republic of Droloon has been a cause of controversy, not amoungst the population whom supported the change and even spearheaded the effort. It comes from the nobility, who have recently been demoted by the Emperor and the Populus Vox Vocis to the ranks of govoners of the provinces which they use to rule with an iron fist.
Though the Govorners have systemically, meaning one-by-one, refused to give up their nobility titles and many of them have stated that they will never surrender to the "...sickly democratic fools". We managed to get an interview with Govorner Bartolomeo of the province of Criumbria:
Anthony: Govorner Bartolomeo, why exactly have you decided to go against the will of the Populus Vox Vocis and stay with nobility?
Bartolomeo: Democracy is a corrupt and vile thing, it ###### itself out to the people, as if they truly mattered. The people in this country before the Alexi Dynasty were a bunch of religion-controlled, uneducated, super-sticious fools who believed that this 'God' of their will save them. Luckily, Alexi the Great stepped in an banned religion, ousted the long-entrenched Wilhelm Dynasty and lead this country for 600 years in absolute peace!
Anthony: I see. Though if I may ask, how do you plan to stand against the Emperor. Surely you know how superior the Revolutionary Guard is compared to your provincial milita and Guilt Squads, right?
Bartolomeo: Of coarse I know that. But I know my peronsal detachment of Imperial Guards and I know the Revolutionary Guard forces in my province will stand beside me, regardless of the Emperor's call or the Guard's leadership converting. These troops are loyal, they know the democratic system will never work.
Anthony: Of coarse, but then what about the people, surely they are calling for your resignai-
Bartolomeo: Lies! Thats something that accursed President Trenton has been filling your minds with. The people are loyal, in fact I've had to surpress rebellions in my own land. And no rebellions against me, rebellions against this democratic order.
Anthony: I see, do you intend to oust Emperor Alexi XIII, and restore the Alexi Dynasty?
Bartolomeo: I will not answer that, but I can assure you that due to this action Emperor Alexi's days are very numbered...
Similar statements were made by other govorners, though none of them would permit an interview with us. Though Emperor Alexi XIII and President Trenton have both ignored these comments and maintain that if the Govorners do not disband immiedately and allow free and open elections to take place, that they will be removed by force.
As it stands now the situtation in Droloon is very hostile as the Central Government and the Govorners are at a standoff.
