The United States of Izaakia opens up occupied territory in Northern N&GB, including the besieged city of Nicholasgrad to electoral officials ahead of polls on Jan 6th. Izaakian observers will validate the legitimacy of the electoral process and begin peace talks with the elected government following the election. 
Speaking earlier today Defence Minister Kim said “We hope that this election provides a peaceful transfer of power from the interim government to the newly elected one through a robust process that can be replicated in the future, and set the groundwork for a peaceful Izaakian withdrawal following an agreement of terms with the new government.”
