Sketchians Demand Menelmacari Aid In Protesting Against ... um ... Menelmacar
Sketchian officials announced today that the recent series of government-sponsored demonstrations, where as many as 100,000 rallied to protest against Menelmacar, has depleted food reserves in the capital. Following receipt of news that Menelmacar has established a new Prefecture of Compassionate Relief (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82370&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0), Sketchian officials have demanded that Menelmacar provide greater food aid in order to avert a catastrophic famine.
"Obviously, we can't demand that thousands appear at the rally while hungry," said Noh Noos, a Ministry of Information spokesman. "We must provide the protestors with sustenance so that they can cheer for the eventual destruction of Menelmacar with vigour."
Maglor nos Fëanor, newly-appointed head of the Prefecture, was reluctant to go on the record in support of increased aid. However, Menelmacari sources close to the Elentári have been quick to point out that an increase in aid would not only show that Menelmacar was sensitive to the needs of Sketch, but also that the Elentári doesn't mind bending over for dictatorships.
"I said bending over backwards for poor nations," corrected the nameless, and soon-to-be-hunted-down-and-executed Wombat News source. "The Sketchians haven't clubbed any Menelmacari to death since the late 90s, and it has been almost a day since they last sent rude messages to the Elentári."
