Idol Program Announced

As part of Shuell’s increasing focus on the fields of social, military, and scientific development, valuable members of these communities will become “Idols,” model examples of the Shuellian ideal. The social media presence of these Idols will be supported by the State, in order to encourage the everyday Shuellian citizen to seek personal glory, success, and recognition.

Idols will receive rewards for simply providing a good face to the Incorporated States, including but not limited to: research grants, private vessels, luxury housing, and other special privileges. There will thousands of assorted prizes and awards provided for simply being the model law-abiding citizen.

Several prominent Shuellian celebrities and social media influencers have been initiated into the Idol Program already, and the pressure on them to remain an ideal Shuellian is heavy. Idols who commit infractions will be removed from the program and have gag orders placed on their social media accounts until penance is given.

Idols can be from any career and will be selected for advertisements based on their popularity: the more popular an Idol is, the larger the region they will be assigned.

Iustos Considering Integration

The Democratic Republic of Iustos, one of our closest allied nations, has been offered a chance to join our glorious Incorporated States as an Autonome Verwaltungsregion, or Autonomous Administrative Region.

Iustos will become integrated into Shuell but will be allowed self-governance and relative autonomy, although they will answer to the Directorate and the Presidency. This will allow for Iustos to retain a majority of their former independence, such as their legislative assemblies, with Shuell being responsible for their defense and involvement in international affairs.

A referendum will be held in Iustos in the month of March, where many Iustonians remain split on the issue. The National Shuellian Broadcasting Network trusts that the right decision will be made on behalf of Iustos, and believes that integration into Shuell will be mutually beneficial for both of our nations. Generalissimo Perez and President Ruiz have both expressed their support for incorporation, though members of the Iustonian nationalist political party Unidade have voiced their opposition.

Minor Outbreak in Montstuhl

Shuellian doctors in the small coastal town of Montstuhl have brought to public attention a small outbreak of Adenovirus, specifically Ad14. This disease has been deemed “mostly harmless” by the Sub-Department of Infection Control, but they do warn that this disease is able to spread quickly, being airborne in transmission.

State-provided vaccines are expected to be distributed in the next two weeks for citizens classified as military veterans, though they may be purchased sooner from both Eir Biomedical Services and Cardea Pharmaceuticals online. Remember: a proper Shuellian is a healthy Shuellian.

New Food Fad Found

The largest food manufacturing company in Shuell, Sailbetter Foods, is now offering a special limited-time item at select stores: the “Sailbetter RealMeat ULTRA™️”. Announced yesterday afternoon by Sailbetter CEO Stephan Niebuhr, the Sailbetter RealMeat ULTRA™️ has been flying off of the shelves.

Mainly catered towards the “Ultra-Hip Shuellian Youth who are too busy for boring old meat," the RealMeat ULTRA™️ combines all the pros of normal meat with “all the super awesome benefits of BROTEIN 7™, the newest invention of Sailbetter Foods.”

Quick ‘N Tasty, Sailbetter Foods’ own fast food restaurant, has announced plans to add the "RealMeat ULTRA™️ Mega-Radical Sandwich" to their menu as soon as possible, which will also include EXTREMLECKER! Sauce and the popular Kooltoffel Fried Potato Snack™.
