Following repeated calls by Herr Moshe Goltz, Dayan of the Beth Din, to hold a vote of no confidence in Redner Szhmuel Astopov, the Nohsi personally seconded Herr Goltz's formal motion in the Knesset today. Immediately after, Nohsibafel XXIII was issued in which Nohsi Bartolomeo Henzelli declared the retention of the Redner's position to the Office of the Nohsi, and promised to pass all pending and current legislation via Nohsibafel.
Since the passage of the ben Mavet Constitution of 2009, the constitutional authority of the Nohsi to function as Redner has been held in trust by another who, though often referred to as Redner, is also addressed as Speaker pro Tempore. This is the first time the Nohsi will be formally retaining this authority, and it appears that Henzelli is intent on wielding it with strict and terrifying efficiency.
As of publication, no news has come as to when the vote of no confidence will begin. It is rumored, however, that regardless of the outcome, the Nohsi is intent on retaining the powers of Redner one way or the other.

National Library Expands
It seems Ashkenatza is brimming with talent. After recent acquisitions including "The Poems of Fr. Costeglioni," "The Tellian War," and "Etiket far Getelshaft," an etiquette book for Ashkenatzi high society, the Aleichem National Library has begun publishing a serial of a new book by Maksym Alzheimsteim, entitled "The Day of Wrath: An Alternate History Where the Great Shirerithian War Went Hot." Detailing the possible future in which the current situation goes hot between Shireroth, her breakaway republics, and those that support them, Herr Alzheimstein has been accused of writing this book "too soon" as well as stoking the fires and taking advantage of the situation between Ashkenatza and Shireroth.
The book is being published in serial, and can be read at the Aleichem National Library in Kolmentizkiy.

The State of the Shtat and Other World Concerns
On Saturday last, Herr Nohsi Henzelli went on the air publicly discussing the situation of Ashkenatza with the people. He discussed the situation with Shireroth in great detail, going so far as to call for the "[burning of] Shireroth and their vile altars to that pagan degenerate Malarbor." Currently, since war was declared upon Shireroth in Nohsibafel XX, discussions concerning the future of relations with Shireroth have not been particularly common. Henzelli recognized that this war is not a hot war, and does not seem to be showing any signs that he is soon to be throwing the full force of the army into a mad drive for Shirekeep.
Of key importance to the issue with Shireroth, the Laqi Free Republic seems to have entered negotiations with the Shirerithian government. At the same time, noted Member of the Knesset, Moshe Goltz, has begun pushing for the Ashkenatzi to host a Laqi government in exile. Henzelli has stated that, currently, the Ashkenatzi government recognizes the Laqi government as free, sovereign, and independent, and to recognize a government in exile when there isn't one would be foolish. He does seem, however, to be open to the possiblity of hosting one should disucussions concerning the future of the Laqi Free Republic go awry. Similarly, the Elwynnese, who declared their independence from Shireroth shortly after the Laqi, appear to be in discussions with Shireroth as well, though from our Shirerithian offices, it does not appear that these discussions are going to be made public any time soon, so it is impossible to gauge what is going on.
On friendlier matters, the Alexandrians reached out to Ashkenatza at precisely the right time, it seems. Not wanting to get involved with the issues facing Shireroth, the Alexandrians are concerned about their own frontiers and what they see as Antican designs on their land. The Nohsi, retaining the powers of the foreign ministry to himself, has been meeting with the Alexandrian delegate, Eva Fernandez, trying to make a mutually-beneficial treaty. There is no word yet on whether it will be a military alliance, as so far the bulk of discussion has been about friendship. Herr Secretary Fernandez did however request a recognition of Alexandria's territory, and Herr Nohsi Henzelli did say he was prepared to recognize Alexandria's territorial integrity. He does seem hesitant, however, to commit to any military obligations, as Ashkenatza and Antica are still bound by the Eagle-Bagel Pact, even if many in Ashkenatza feel the Anticans have not been keeping their end of the bargain.
