Underaloz Tribune, today
A unanimous storm shakened the Council of the United Corporations of Underaloz last month.
It's Aigu Atako, CEO of the Sotek Corporation, that started it all, raising the issue during a reunion which topic was supposed to be the latest demographic reports: "I understand the United Nations are on par with our ideal of personal freedom and world peace, but it is far too intrusive economically. Look, given the birth rate we see on these very pages, we'll soon be a billion. How do you think we'll feed our citizens? With words? We certainly have one of the most efficient economy on the Enclave but the United Nations' over-regulation is killing any benefit we could make out of our hard sacrifices".
Surprisingly, Mr.Atako found a supporter into Pr.Alex McCormick, head of the Book Publishing Union and well-known detractor of the CEO, who wrote quite a heated editorial in the Red Union newspaper: "Did we have any problem with the Council so far? Yes but not as harmful as the latest UN resolution is. Actually, it's the Council which decided unions were needed. We elect our CEOs and they are forced to do their best if they want to keep their positions. Now what? To protect our rights, the UN members force our government into drastic measures that are absolutly uncalled for? What rights will we have left if we end up with nothing in our plates? I urge the Council to consider Mr.Atako's words. I despise the man but he's telling the truth".
Support of left-wing groups and unanimity of the Council would have been enough but, "to make a point and show the UN what liberty really means" said Stuart Townsend, CEO of the Sigma corporation, the Council let the people vote.
Yesterday at a stunning majority of 92.3%, the citizens of Underaloz decided to forget about the UN. "We leave the United Nations where they are," says Melissa Black, CEO of the McMurphy corporation. "Nowhere".
