1041
'''MOD EVENT: Mt St Martin erupts on August 2nd, 1041, around 0930 local time accompanied by a magnitude 5.2 earthquake! The resulting explosion causes plumes of smoke to enter the atmosphere, and these ash plumes reach Munich in the northwest of Neubayern by noon. All over Primus, people are finding ash collecting on their cars and roofs. The city of St Martin near the volcano was evacuated starting about a month before the eruption. However, several were unable or unwilling to evacuate, and an estimated sixty-two people perished in the eruption.'''

 * Sowupko: Design and construction of the Aerius system, Prometheus Space Telescope and Aurora-1 Station. The Space Telescope is surprisingly ahead of schedule, and the launch date has been moved forward to 1043. Meanwhile, the first module of the Aurora-1 Space Station, named Al'yans (Cyrillic: Aльянс; German: Allianz; "Alliance") has been completed and is undergoing testing. Launch of the Allianz is now slated for early 1042. The second module, named Wünsche (Donetskian: Cтремления, Stremleniya; "Aspirations") is well into construction and is due for launch in the middle of 1042. The first Aerius rockets are now undergoing testing. The first test launch was a success, although several tweaks still have to be made to the design before it is usable for missions.

Neubayern
 * Military: The Kriegstag has settled upon a new design for the Dietrich-class aircraft carrier's replacement. The Saikō Genshu-class amphibious assault carrier will be much larger than its predecessor and will be powered by six nuclear fusion propellers. When complete, the carriers will be able to carry up to 80 fighter jets, 10 helicopters and 10 other aircraft each, as well as amphibious vehicles and boats for amphibious and/or landing operations. The class will be named after North Orientalian former Supreme Leader Saikō Genshu, the first class to be named in honour of a foreign leader. Construction of the lead ship, the KMS Saikō Genshu, has begun and the ship will be complete in 1047. It is hoped that Saikō Genshu himself will be able to attend the launch ceremony in 5 years time.
 * Elections: The Federal Elections were held last year. The Socialist Party, having instituted many progressive new policies in the last six years, has become extremely popular and as such has been elected for a third term as Government. Janssen Wilhelm remains in his position as Reichsleiter. A proposal to extend the parliamentary term to four years is passed by the newly elected Reichsparlament and has gone to referendum.
 * Result: 10. The referendum succeeds, and the parliamentary term is extended to four years. The next elections will occur in 1045, instead of 1044.
 * Sowupko: The Al'yans, the first module of the Aurora-1 space station, is launched with an Aerius-1 rocket. The launch is successful, and Al'yans has entered a low orbit around Novasol IIIb.

Meanwhile more wind and solar power is invested in and wind and solar farms continue construction in several locations. Construction on several new highways are planned.

North Orientalia: In an effort for eco-sustainability, and as well as preparations for dire situations, we now begin a mass campaign to install solar panels on every household and establishments. We now begin to declassify the proceedure to make lab-grown meat; In fact, we now begin exports of such meat to impoverished areas like parts of Mabuda and PSR Ross. Such meat can also now be bought in Neubayern and Zarinthia (conformed there to meet traditional dietary regulations) in the form of cold cuts, sausages, and hams. We also keep watch on out airspace and issue travel warnings to tourists going to Neubayern following the volcanic eruption. Meanwhile a magnitide 2.7 earthquake occurs near the summit of Mount Cheonbyokjeon, causing an avalanche that caused the upper streams of the Horosato river to burst its banks. No damage to our infrastructure, but many people here see this as a bad omen. The elder Saikō, now 79 years of age, was diagnosed with cardio-pulmonary difficulties. Rumors now begin to spread that a team of expert Neubayer and Zarinthian embalmers and conservators are in wait in the event Saikō Genshu breathes his last. We also give an authoritative clearance to a Colnian film company to shoot the live-action movie In Times of Trouble, which talks about of Saikō Genshu's rise to power and the Second Orientalian War. The fomer dictator is slated to be portrayed by Willem Chen in the movie.

 * Sowupko: The Wünsche, the second module of the Aurora-1 space station, is launched. The module successfully docks with Al'yans. The Wünsche contains life-support systems and crew quarters, thus making the Aurora-1 habitable. The Wünsche goes up with the first crew of the Aurora, named at first ATS-116 (Aerius Transportation System), and redesignated ARM-100 (Aurora Mission) upon successful installation of Wünsche and the crew moving into the station. ARM-100 begins a planned continuous habitation of the Aurora-1 space station. ARM-100 is due to depart Aurora-1 in six months time and return to Novasol III-B using the Aerius re-entry module.
 * Dip: We offer to have the ailing Saikō Genshu booked into one of our top hospitals. The Reich is ranked highly in the Quality of Death Index, and with Saikō's consent we will attempt to rectify his health problems and restore him to health.

With respects to his last wishes, we asked to have an expert team be sent rather than going abroad for treatment. Rumors now begin to spread that a team of expert Neubayer and Zarinthian embalmers and conservators are in wait in the event Saikō Genshu breathes his last. We also give an authoritative clearance to a Colnian film company to shoot the live-action movie In Times of Trouble, which talks about of Saikō Genshu's rise to power and the Second Orientalian War. The fomer dictator is slated to be portrayed by Willem Chen in the movie. Some of the other actors and actresses who would play as some important charcaters at the time include: Meanwhile, in the field of astronomy, an unusual signal is detected from the Hamgyung Radio Observatory in South Mungan province. When it was decoded, something like crackly recorded music was heard. Some conspiracy thories about the signal begin to sprout, such as that they might be signals from from Earth, but such fallacies were dismissed.

Both however otherwise remain independent and sovereign.

Some of his most memorable words he said to the Prince was,  "Though i come from a line of irreligious tyrants, I still pray to who I can pray, to my forefathers, to the spirits, to the gods, and your God, that our countrymen see each other as brothers, and a legacy of a better world to live in, even when I am gone."
