Today, there were raids on The Socialist Republic of Flanders by The Dominion of Drakia, who raids the country regularly, and Westwood Kingdom. Both the Flemish capital, Antwerp, and Ghent, the country's second largest city, were damaged in the attacks. The amount of civilians who died in the raids is unknown. Luckily, Vladimir Zhogin of Khevin was able to provide $900,000 in aid to Flanders, and both Antwerp and Ghent have been rebuilt. The Flemish Government is very thankful for the money given to them by President Zhogin, and are going to erect a statue of him in Antwerp's market square in his honor.

A nuclear power plant was built in Ghent yesterday, and it is the second nuclear power station to have been built in The Republic of Flanders. The power plant is a symbol of the republic's transition from burning coal to provide electricity, to using cleaner nuclear energy. The Flemish Government plans to build many more nuclear power plants in other cities in the near future.

The Flemish Armed Forces currently has only seven planes, but plans to build more.
