The Communist regime has fallen!
Pontalasa taken after the defeat of the last forces of the Socialist Republic: regime's leaders captured and Mattia Appiano-Solari freed

August 5614

Pontelasa - It's official: from the first hours of this glorious 4th August 5615 the Socialist Republic of Istalia is no more!

The Resistance, after years of fights in Cisavugli e months at the gates of Pontalasa, last bastion of the communists, managed to strafe the efforts of the last loyal forces of the Socialist Republic to defend the city. When during the night the Resistance overwhelmed the troops defending the main road artery entering the city, just before the sunrise the remaining of the military high command of the Socialist Republic, in agreement with many officials of the Communist Party, offered their unconditional surrender to the Resistance even proceeding to arrest several hierarchs of the regime still aimed to fight. Among them notably Licio Vetturini, Deputy Secretary General of the Party, Erminio De Cataldo, Commissar of Communications and thus head of party's propaganda, and Felice Bentivoglio, Commissar of the Armed Forces. At the moment there are no news about where Publio Carvelli is instead but some rumors of these first hours suggests that he already fled the country aimed to a friend nations, likely in one of the communist regimes in west Majatra, Zardugal, or even Vanaku or Jelb, recently taken over by quite-leftist forces known as Worldburner.

During the moorning, instead, while the communist troops layed down their arms, among whom there were also civilians loyal until the very end to the Socialist Republic, the forces of the Resistance seized quickly the palaces of the power as well as the main regime's radio and tv stations while some special units proceeded to search and arrest the remaining members of the communist apparatus who without exception didn't resisted.

It was at 2 pm that a press conference was called at the Palace of Commissars, former city hall complex of the city, by the leaders of the Resistance who appeared all together led by Floria Monaldi flanked by Alessandro Appiano-Solari, son of the co-ounder of the Patriotic Front Mattia Appiano-Solari, who talked to the nation as newly appointed Provisional Head of Government of Free Istalia.

People of Istalia,
after years of struggles, after having seen the fall of many friends and relatives, after the dévastations that the country experienced, finally the Socialist Republic is no more! My brothers and sisters I'm delighted to announce you that the Victory is our!

Alaria has been freed by the vicious forces of the dictatorial Communist regime that plagued our country for decades and that pursued a disastrous war that led to the occupation of our countries and the establishment of puppet regimes led by the traitors of their own fatherland but the struggle is not over!
Now it is time to turn our efforts toward the continent to retake and freed the whole of the country: from the eastern shores of the Sea of Lost Souls to the western slopes of the Nayars the fatherland shall be reunited and bring back under the sovereignty of the Istalians!

But it's also time to begin the reconstruction of Istalia my fellow compatriots, of a new prosperous Istalia for our children and our future générations, a new sovereign and independent Istalia secured from all the menaces, internal and external, that wants to destroy the unity of our country and of our people, menaces that despite the passing of the centuries and millennia are still alive and never gave up the vicious plans to pursue the eradication of our culture and identity from the face of Terra.

For this reason a National Convention for the Renaissance of Istalia will be elected here in Alaria as soon as possible to delineate the future Political, Societal and Institutional framework of Istalia and to make sure that the country will never experience once again the sufferences of those unfortunate years and most importantly that will be never once again divided and that its veritable existence will never be threatened again.

What I can assure you is that the new Istalia that will rise once again from its ashes will be a strong and firmly united Istalia, our fatherland will be a stronghold to defend the liberties, the identity and the security of all Istalians, a country which resiliance to survive and defend its people will be litterarly infinite, like it was the one our fellow compatriot Mattia has reteined for all the years he was kept in captivity by the regime, but also for him the freedom eventually came.

Unfortunately, the long years of prisony affected deeply his health conditions and for this reason he can't be here together with us having being already deplaced to the hospital of Caleon where our best medical teams are already taking care of him and we all together wish him a quick recovery. But in his behalf today we have with us his son Alessandro, who with great braverty joined and partecipated the efforts to freed Istalia and who together with his father inspered all us with their love and care of our fatherland! I cannot forget to say that the efforts of their family for our country have been unvaluable, under all point of view, and their efforts will be recognized like the ones of all those that are fighting with us and alongside us and that are supporting us! I can assure you that! The new Istalia that will rise will learn from and will respect those sacrificies. 

Now my brave compatriots, let us turn our gaze anew the west, because there we will fight our last battle!
For Istalia!
