[200623] - The Islander Ministry of Defence (IMD) created two major proposals on June 23rd in regards to sentimental affairs towards the MRT Administration and Kingdom of Ophelia. The National Assembly passed one while hanging the other as pending. Effective immediately, Juhwa Islands implemented a restriction of any public tributaries or monuments towards the MRT Administration following criticism of the server owner undiplomatically annexing Maldita, a historic town owned by the King of Juhwa Islands in the Grand Mesa, without valid context. IMD is also considering a lift on a long-lasting persona non-grata status against Ophelia Confederation which governs Seolho, the other Koreanic settlement on the server.
The restriction means public tributaries such as monuments and signs towards the MRT Administration will not be permitted. However, criticising or denouncing them will not be obligatory nor promoted. This proposal was passed as a bow to a clash back in March 30th when discussions on the B746 highway unintentionally entering Maldita, a town formerly owned by the King of Juhwa Islands rapidly souring with the owner of MRT deciding a forceful takeover of Maldita as multiple attempts to pressure Juhwa Islands to renounce Maldita away to Janghwa, a territory of Ophelia failed. Although they claimed no negotiations could have possibly gone through between Juhwa Islands and Ophelia Confederation this was flatly disproven as an armistice was made between the two states. MRT’s side immediately voided this agreement and went out to take over Maldita discordantly. Contrary to their ironic statement earlier to prevent corruption amongst the administration, the annexation of Maldita sought heavy negativity and perception amongst Supies as predatory usage of authoritative power. MRT’s side may have attempted to opaque the incident by announcing on Discord that the King of Juhwa Islands have simply ceded Maldita away to Ophelia without further details. IMD stated that the original intention and proposal for the Maldita issue with B746 was that Juhwa Islands agreed to cede Maldita under the terms Ophelia was unaware of Juhwa’s former ownership of Maldita to prevent excessive interrogations from Ophelia. This proved to be futile when the discoverer of the B746 issue had already notified them of the issue in full detail. Juhwa Islands didn’t wish to cede Maldita at the time afterwards and requested time to consider an alternative solution. This request was not honored by the MRT. Another proposal issued by the MRT owner was to commit a white lie in which the antique ownership status of Maldita would be blanked as abandoned and would be offered to Maldita. Juhwa Islands strongly supported this plan but was nullified due to “preserving MRT’s reputation on corruption.” Juhwa Islands expressed heavy disappointment with this excuse. As for the other proposal, A persona non-grata is a diplomatic status in which an individual or state is considered an unwelcome guest to another country. This was implemented around summer of 2018 against the Ophelia Confederation due to major concern of plagiarism and excessive interrogations toward the head of the state, especially Seolho. The IMD is proposing that the barring of Ophelia be lifted, ending the two-year unwelcoming stance in which maintained very little to no communication between the two states. The National Assembly was called upon to delegate this bill. While delegations from Gaehwa, Sanghwa, and Asterfield supported conciliation between the two states as a gesture of moving forward, Jongnyeong and Vincôtier expressed strong opposition fearing the bill may indicate appropriation of what Juhwa Islands used to heavily criticize Seolho of. Dongryoon, Jiri, Yowon, and Myowan expressed neutrality on the issue. The Canton of Dongryoon and Jiri proposed that the limited communication with the two states be kept although lessened, promise on no plagiarism be kept in exchange for ending the persona non-grata status and allowing no restriction on travel between the two states. The Islander Government stated it would come to a decision later in the date. ◘ |

[191005] - An issue so little discussed among Supies, the topic of 'happiness' and 'solace' is about to become a commonplace issue as experts sounded alarm on the average status of mental health among Juhwanese citizens. Daemong Company conducted a nationwide survey and investigation to learn about the stature of happiness among Juhwanese citizens, but the result shook the company so negatively that they quickly got the attention of Euisulguk (ESK), the national health agency to look critically into the issue.
Upon the assessment, over 20% of Supies reported to have some sort of suffering via a depressive disorder, which is a critically high ratio. But what really stunned analysts was that the Juhwanese average suicide rate was of 36.0 which means for every 100,000 Supies there are 36 victims. This makes Juhwa Islands the country with the highest suicide rate in the world. By province, Inok scored the highest with 39.3 while Namhae scored the lowest at 28.4, and by canton, Jongnyeong scored a concerning 40.7 while Myowan and Uwan tied at 24.0. Jongnyeong East took the cake as the most suicidal district at a whopping 45.7, a rate incomparable with anywhere else in the world. World Happiness Report (WHR) stopped by to assess the happiness level of Juhwa Islands and dropped a disappointing score of 4.281- ranked 135th most happiest out of 157 countries. This meant countries like Ethiopia, Ukraine, and Myanmar was ahead of Juhwa Islands when it came to happiness. As a country with a GDP per Capita of a little over 1.5 million Won (equivalent to a little over a hundred thousand dollars) and having a super high HDI and social equality score, the reason for such a roof-ripping depression rate and suicide rate wasn't due to lack of money or social standards. In fact, WHR indicated that Juhwa was severely suffering from social support, which was the core factor that dragged down Juhwa Island's WHR score. They organized the scoring system:
What brings social support down to such low numbers? Daemong, which is a child and mentally ill protection service company explains this phenomenon wasn't a preventable issue as the source didn't originate from any recent hands. ◘ |

[190611] - Just this Sunday, Melon Shop sold itself and its franchising rights to the Juhwa Islands. They join the lists of franchises from the overseas market such as AlikLolly, Waffle House, Woolporium and Coffeefox- though in this case, it would be the first foreign franchise ever to move its entire company by ripping itself off from its former parent company, Derpy Enterprises. What's the deal with overseas franchises attempting to deeply root into the Juhwanian markets? Turns out, even the foreigners exclaim that same franchises from both in and out of Juhwa Islands are so different. What do they even mean by that?

IS MRT SHUTTING DOWN BY THE BEGINNING OF 2020? |
[190106] - Ever since 2012, Minecart Rapid Transit (MRT) has been operating without a pause for straight 6 years, and into today has the server become bigger than ever, with more organizations, players, contributions, and history. Little to none would disagree, with the little being those who were excommunicated from the server for noncompliance.
