 * Ladogan-Novgorodian Conflict Escalation: After reorganizing the military, on 23rd January, 12023 HE, newly elected Prime Minister Victor Shchukin sent an ultimatum to Novgorod, demanding that they join Ladoga as per the treaty which split Russia. The Ladogan Confederation was to gain the Leningrad, Pskov, and Novgorod Oblasts, and the secession of Novgorod is a travesty and it must be ended. EDIT: After widespread controversy across the nation, the Ladogan government have given the Novgorod government 5 months to make their decision.
