King Parnchand pushes for closer ties with Indrala
Hanzen's monarch shows his true governmental influence for the first time
17 June 4475


UDON NAKHON, Hanzen: In one of his first public statements directed at the legislature, King Parnchand has requested that the nation look towards places such as Indrala.

"I'd like to humbly ask the National Assembly to further relations with the State of Indrala," he said, "as it is clear we as nations share similar cultures, histories, languages, and even people. Thus, we're obvious partners."

The king has long been known to have supported the idea of bringing Hanzen closer to the nation it was formerly a protectorate under, even though many areas of the East are heavily against such viewpoints. However, it is generally believed with Indrala's top role in Terra's economy and growing military strength that Hanzen will be able to grow greatly with its friendship and aid. Along with this, king Parnchand, himself, has ties to the Indralan Emperor, placing personal ties into this issue.

Hanzen's legislature seems to generally support the measure despite hesitations, and the two largest parties the Royal Peoples and Elephant Workers' Parties have announced intentions to work towards the goal. Although it isn't known how other parties stand, these two control over half the legislature.

If the issue passes, it might be an indication the king will have much more influence of legislation and policy than many thought he would.

Tiankong to invest in Udon Nakhon, other large cities
Hanzen's monarch shows his true governmental influence for the first time
18 August 4477


UDON NAKHON, Hanzen: The Tiankong Group is a largely Indralan based company that is known not only in the airplane and flight industry but also for its green energy and development initiatives.

Recently, the company's Ren Guanting announced that she wanted to be able to move the company onto the international stage, starting in Hanzen before working its way through Dovani. However, Ren must first get through the hoops of the National Assembly in order to gain permission for such sweeping and expensive plans.

The development will largely focus on the modernization of urban areas, including the introduction of cleaner energy, better transportation systems, and updates to many dilapidated public structures.

If allowed the project is estimated to bring in millions, if not billions of economic aid and opportunity to the nation, a move that move that many hope will increase the power of the already prominent tourist industry. Furthermore, if this headquarters actually ends up in Hanzen thousands of new jobs and possible expansions to what Tiankong had already done to the country are expected to well up in the capital..
