Has Christian President Eustace Brown finally decided to be rid of the nation's Muslim and Hindu populations? No! The Nicobar Islands Territory is to be liberated following the collapse of Azazia!

Some years ago during the troubled early days of Brown's government the then Nicobar Islands became tangled in a two-fronted war when the coast guard fired upon an Azazian freighter mistakenly thought to be shipping arms to TNI's arch nemesis communist Beth Gellert. BG had already declared war on TNI after Brown annexed the Parmis Archipelago east of the British Indian Ocean Territory, with no consultation from the tiny native population.

Communist landings on the archipelago coincided with a full scale Azazian invasion of The Nicobar Islands, and a bloody battle was fought for the eastern most island in the chain. Withdrawing all forces from Parmis after a brief fire-fight constituted The Nicobarese Marines' first ever military defeat. The second came closer to home as an Indian unit serving with the Nicobarese mutinied against its heavy-handed western officers, enabling the Azazians to capture the town of Brownabad.

Azazia had sought to bring down President Brown and looked unstoppable until Brown negotiated an unfavourable peace, relinquishing five islands in the Nicobarese chain and giving over significant oil reserves to the Azazians.

It was during this time that Nicobar first encountered the Drakonian Imperium, as one of that nation's citizens was mistakenly killed by Nicobarese security forces.
It is a testimony, says Mr.Giles, to the President's diplomatic skill that he survived, and that Nicobar made an ally of Drakonia where others would have made an enemy.

Directly following the conflict with Azazia The Nicobar Islands made official its unity with the Andaman Islands (ooc:as if the latter had any choice ;) ) and the Freely (cough) Incorporated States of Andaman and Nicobar, or ISAN (eye-san), was born.

For years the Nicobarese have awaited reunification with their eastern cousins, President Brown periodically posturing against the Azazian territories as ISAN's power grew.

With the Azazians gone, there is nothing standing in the way of reunification, and the Nicobarese Marines this morning planted the flag in Brownabad.

Reports from less reliable news sources indicating resistance by Hindu gunmen associated with the infamous mutiny are of course misinterpretations of celebratory gunfire.

In related news FBCOil shares jumped this morning with news of the company's take-over of former Azazian assets, estimated to be worth almost 20% of the entire west Nicobarese field..

(sorry about the length of that! We've been waiting since this nation was a few days old for the re-unification of our islands!)

Merry Christmas, ISAN!

Story Excerpts

"...There was much rejoicing in Drakonia with announcement of the renuification of the Andaman and Nicobar islands...."

"...Oil stocks for Royal Trinidad Oil, which also own assets in Drakonia's allies territory, also reported a substancial rise...."

"...The Praetor sent his compliments to President Brown, along with a heart felt, 'Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!'..."

President Brown returned the Drakonian Praetor's Christmas sentiment on behalf of ISAN on the day that revieled the nation's position as one of the thousand most religiously motivated on earth. The President will have to be careful to avoid offending the increasingly vocal Muslim and Hindu populations, especially as the eastern islands are reintegrated...

FBCNTV- Brownabad blast kills Marines!

Believed to have been a carbomb, the attack against Nicobarese Marines -the forces of liberation- shook Brownabad last night, leaving it with two less ISAN soldiers by morning.

There have been scattered reports of other disturbances and of strife throughout the liberated areas, especially across Brown Island on which Brownabad is situated. Since the Azazian war the island's Indian population has risen sharply, and hard-line Hindu elements have been blamed by many unofficial sources seeking to source the building conflicts.

"Due to the recent events in Andaman and Nicobar, we in the Kingdom of Vrak are willing to take in any and all Muslim and Hindu populations that may not be excited with the recent developments in their land and looking for a new home."

The Drakonian sponsored Tolerance Organization, might be able to relieve some of the religious and ethnic tensions in ISAN. The government and private sponsored organization specializes in promoting tolerance among groups, which promote and enflame hatred. Tolerance works by running anti-hate advertisements on Television, in magazines, on radio, and across billboards. This multinational anti-hate organization cannot eliminate hatred between different groups, but it can eleviate such tensions. The Imperium offers to sponsor this organization to run in the ISAN islands.

capital of the Grand Dominion of Drakonian Imperium.

FBCNTV reports that the Drakonian TO is welcome to operate within ISAN in the described manner, from a base* on Great Nicobar. The location is suggested by Mr.Giles in light of the possible dangers on Brown Island, especially such as may be directed against a religiously involved institution.

Further stories highlight increased turnout at religious sites and events Christian, Muslim, and Hindu across ISAN. There have also been renewed strikes by government forces against the lawless northern tip of Diglipur, North Andaman, involving small numbers of ship and air-launched cruise missiles, and reportedly special forces insertion. This is said to be the largest security operation in ISAN since the New Chelsean crisis over New Eastgate iron.

Other stories of some note include a Mrs.Ali's 14 million Drakonian Doubloon lottery win, the resultant hard-line Muslim stone-throwing attacks against her new apartment, the decline of the Nicobarese mudskipper, and the arrest of a man who took a bungee jump from BrownCo Tower in Liberation.

To: Andaman and Nicobar Diplomats
From: Vrak Diplomatic Corps
Subject: Refugees

We again reiterate our humanitarian assistance to relocate those who may be unhappy with the changes in your nation to the Kingdom of Vrak. We will relocate any all all those dissatisfied refugees at our expense if you so wish.

President Brown's office replied to Vrak through a minor diplomat using no flattering or uncertain terms. Apparently there was no reason for the Nicobarese to seek refuge outside of their free and mighty land. The very idea of having over a quater of their earnings stolen by the Vrakian government was seemingly quite the afront to all those interviewed on the streets of ISAN for one topical evening talkshow.

"They send in armed thugs against even good successful businessmen!"
"What in God's name is income tax?"
"They just want to lock us up and steal our hard earned millions until we die so they can steal our organs!"
"They spend how much on the military? Well they're not getting my cash!"
"They're all clones anyway. I heard that none of them can even do it anymore. What? Oh you know, they.." "Thank you, that's enough."

How different two corporate police states can be!

Somewhere in Vrak...

Translated from Vrakian.

-Well, it appears that Andaman and Nicobar refused our request. Their response was rather unflattering.
-Hmmm. They are rather insolent, aren't they?
-That's what happens when you don't use sunscreen. Or bathe.
-Indeed.
-As well, I can't understand what they mean by our difference regarding corporations. After all, we were #74 and #295 in the soda pop and trout fishing sectors in the global rankings. And our #284 rank for most subsidized industry wasn't too shabby.
-Chalk it up to envy.

(Hey, we're quite proud to have finished only one or two hundred places behind on trout fishing considering how many hundred million more Vrakians than Nicobarese there are, and ..how few trout there probably are out in the middle of the Bay of Bengal! I think we just got lucky one day and beached a freak thousand ton nuclear-mutant trout escaped from the Ganges or something.
I can't remember back to the soda ranking. Top in the region, of course, but that's rather easier to remember. It's amazing how many people will drink something with the word "Brown" in its name.)

OOC: "Brown"? Ugh! Try our Walrus Fizz! And what's wrong with mutant fish? After all, our national animal is the chickaroach - a cross between a chicken and a cockroach. A freak mutant trout would make a great snack for a pack of hungry Klatchian crocodiles. Who says mutations are bad? Happy New Year!

ooc: Hehe. Fair points, and same to you. Now I'm off to get alcohol poisoning!
