International Headline News (Post Your Nation's News Here)

OOC: After the utter failure of this thread's predecessor, I'm trying again. I envision this thread as a sort of current events news network serving the entire NSWorld, keeping other nations up to date recent goings on in other countries. Anyone can post newsworthy happenings about their nation here, whether it’s declarations of war, assassination or kidnapping attempts on national leaders, election results, or even something as trivial as the latest mega-blockbuster movie premiering in your largest city. Try to keep posts to nothing more than a paragraph or two- this is headline news, not post-pages-and-pages-of-information news. There’s no “official” format for posts in this thread, but try to keep your posts looking as if it’s a real news report. Let’s see how this works, shall we?

International Headline News Network Launched

by Ton Porker

Ton Porker is a NS Press affiliated reported from Sumo City, Fatus Maximus

Today marks the birth of a new 24 hour news network, this one broadcasting news across the world, reporting events that happen not only in Fatus Maximus but in virtually every nation in which newsworthy things happen. Executives call it “a grand centralization of the reporting industry,” saying that it will keep citizens of all nations aware of events happening in nations they’ve never even heard of.

The network broadcasts from a massive system of new television transmission towers that span the globe, which have either been bought from existing networks or built from scratch. The funding required just to launch the network was enormous, and provided by an international consortium of countries dedicated to informing the public of what’s going on in the world around them. Each broadcast tower employed by the network transmits in the language most dominating the region in which it is located. The towers receive signals from an array of communication satellites placed in lower orbit earlier this year, which also beam directly to homes that have ordered the service.

International Headline News, or IHN, reports news stories taking place as they happen, relying on news gleamed both directly from reporters and from national news networks around the world. There are over 200,000 reporters registered with the new press corps providing IHN with its reports, the NS Press (NSP). Also, contracts between IHN and countries’ national networks allow just-in coverage from those stations to be reported on both networks simultaneously. And the network doesn't just cover TV. IHN radio and newspaper affiliates are popping up around the world, providing full scale coverage from everything to the latest sports statisitics to political intrigue. The IHN promises to truly revolutionize the way people around the world learn about each other.

Prime Minister Larjas Elected To Second Term

(NSP) FATOPIA- Incumbent candidate Bubba Larjas secured an overwhelming 70% of the vote last week in a landslide victory. Coming from Fatus Maximus' Economic Backers' Party, he attributed his win to "da fact dat I'm just an Average Joe." His instrumental role in bringing Fatus Maximus into the modern world after centuries of isolation has improved the quality of life for the average citizen immensely, and he was leading in the polls for the entire election cycle. He says he plans to use this term to continue ensuring political equality under the law and increasing trade agreements with foreign countries. He has not yet announced if he plans on running for a third term.

Finance Minister Didn't Have A Prayer
ZIP..... Minister of Finance, Hylee Demoral, is sentenced to a sixty year term in prison for 'silence breaking'. Many thought Minister Demoral would escape being found guilty but in a surprise vote he came up guilty and thus recieved his sentence from Judge Idoitto and was taken by officers to the Leasure Prison at Saint Sandy Lagoon. We were unable to talk to any of those serving on the jury that found him guilty after twelve days of festing; as they all seem to have vanished from this world. However we did learn that the appointment of a new Minister of Finance is expected to be announced as soon as His High Honor, Iboy Hornia returns from his inspeation of the National Cathouses at Feeminial. Until then Sir Deepockets will serve as Zeldons Minister of Finance, unless his pet bear has her cubs then he said he would decline the posting to care for her. More to come when I find a snitch who will talk for less silence...

Today's top story, crime reaches pervasive hights!

Despite the efforts of our police forces, the freeloading poor still continue to do crimes. The President's mansion has released this statement:

"We shall continue to fight crime, however, we must do so in a constitutional way... Therefore, no National ID card or survalance cameras shall be put up.... We shall fight crime through investigations and tips from you, the people."

Despite the strong words, many people don't stand convinced.

"President Fulda claims to be doing all he can do." Exclaimed a leftist protestor. "The problem is how anti poor he is, we need to instate welfare and raise taxes to fund it!"

In other news, our border with our neighboring nation of Riggsland has been offically sealed off for the time being. This came after large amounts of people who were expelled from Riggsland, ended up in Ashlavar. The Department of Security has issued this statement:

"We figure that these people were expelled by our neighbor for a reason, and we do not want them adding to our problems." Said the Secretary of Defence. "However, the Prime Minister of Riggsland is cooperating and we doubt this will lead to any hostilities between our two peoples."

Also making headline news today:

The skeletal remains of what is believed to be a communist activist who dissappeared a week ago have been found. While the evidence isn't conlusive, investigators are very confident they have found her.

For Immediate Release

(BPA) A NEW NATION IS FORMED!

The Blogger Press Association (BPA) is proud to announce the formation of the United States of Wisdom, Knowledge and Virtue (WKV) within the region known as the Federalist League. It is hoped that this constitutional republic can achieve the ultimate equilibrium of "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" -- the nation's motto -- via a federalistic model of Federal-State-Local governing bodies.

"How are we different from many other nations of the world?" asked President of the US Maestro7, "Our citizens are proud of our nation -- indeed, our region -- because of the liberties we embody, pronounced in our Declaration of Independence and enshrined in our Constitution. Specifically, that all human beings are created equal, that there is an unalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that all aspects of the State ultimately answer to the People."

Those nations or peoples interested in experimenting with federalism are invited to visit our nation or incorporate themselves as a fully sovereign nation within the League. See the Federalist League fact book for more details.

Fatus Maximus on the Brink of War

(NSP) FATOPIA- Prime Minister Larjas announced today in a press conference from the Executive Manor that the country has been engaged in a conflict with The Silver Sky, a rival nation located across the southwestern ocean from Fatus Maximus. An exploratory naval fleet from Fatus Maximus was searching for uninhabited islands to claim for their overweight land, and suceeded in discovering a perfect candidate roughly 90 miles from Fatus Maximus. Named Maltose by the explorers, it lies close to The Silver Sky's waters. They responded with an unprovoked assault on a ship, resulting in the deaths of one hundred brave crew members. Prime Minister Larjas stressed that diplomatic negotiations were ongoing, but that Fatus Maximus would not hesitate to engage the enemy should the talks breakdown.

Recent correspondance from around New Tiamat:

1 day ago The Dominion of TTEO From an N3 broadcast:

WAR!!
“In a surprise and violent move, the Dominion has invaded and occupied the nations of Ugandi and Sein & Zeit within the last 24 hours. This Blitzkrieg attack began with aerial bombardment, airborne assaults and commando attacks against key government targets and culminated with amphibious assaults along both nations’ western and southern coastlines. Details are extremely sketchy; N3's main studios in both countries appear to have been targeted by Dominion air strikes in the first salvo of the war. Wolfgang Spitzer, N3's correspondent in Ugandi, was coincidently aboard his yacht in Ugandi harbor when the amphibious assault began and phoned in a report; the voices in the background are his wife, Persephone and their children.”

**Cuts to a crackly, badly distorted phone line; explosions and gunfire can be heard in the background**

“This is Wolfgang Spitzer reporting. In the dead of night a naval flotilla has entered the Ugandi harbor, wreaking havoc and destruction. We can’t tell, but it looks like maybe the Dread Pirate Brockenstein has upped the ante and started serious ground raids in the grand pirate tradition. If so, this is certain to motivate the nations of New Tiamat to coordinated...wait, we’re starting to see smaller craft breaking away from some of the larger, those look like hovercraft, yes, yes definitely hovercraft, and they have the double headed vulture of the Dominion on the sides! The Very Evil Overlord is invading Ugandi! By the light of the burning city I can see troops starting to unload at the docks...”

A babble of voices, an adult female and children, interrupts:
“Daddy, they’re shooting at us!”
“Wolf, they’re starting to board the ships in the harbor!”
A load explosion can be heard, then screams of panic. Small arms fire.
“We surrender! Stop shooting! I’m a journalist with N3!”
More gunfire, a woman starts screaming and stops suddenly.
“Mommy!!”
“Stop shooting! I’m a jou...”
Automatic gunfire, all screaming stops, the phone is clicked off.

**Return to the news desk, where a troubled looking anchor stares stoically at the camera**

“A special report from Wolfgang Spitzer, Ugandi Harbor. Minister Dres’naus has convened the NeTTO Security Council and all Anastambrian Defense forces have gone on alert. More details on this rapidly developing story as they come in.”
18 hours ago The Free States of Abydo Abydoan military forces have been placed on high alert, in the wake of the unprovoked attack from the Dominion. Reserve troops have been warned that they may be activated to defend key positions within the country in the event of active duty military action outside the borders.

President Gorman issued a short statement before meeting with his Advisors, "As a free nation we find the actions of the Overlord and his allies reprehensible. The Danmarcian government is equally culpable in the massacres occuring in Ugandi as those pulling the trigger. I am going to meet first with my advisors, and then with our allies in NeTTO. First order of business is how we will respond to the Axis of Terror that seems to revolve around the Overlord and his Corporate Masters in Danmarc. In the interim of making an official decision, I am suspending all diplomatic relations with the Danmarcian government. Furthermore, all imports from the island nation are to be quarantined until such a time as they are determined to be safe for the people of our great nation. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a lot of work ahead of me."

That meeting is still going on... our correspondent's on the scene report that several ministers of Parliament have been invited into the session and that none have left. Since this is the biggest news to hit the nation since that blonde girl got lost in Aruba, we'll be cutting into your favourite shows to bring you up-to-the-minute reports. This is, John Johansen with Abydo Daily News reporting.
2 hours ago The Holy Empire of Anastamber From the N3 Danger from the Dominion! desk:

Minister Dres’naus made time for a short news conference between crisis meetings with the Ministries and hurried phone calls with other NeTTO members today. “I don’t have much time and I will NOT be taking questions afterwards. First off, I’d like to extend my condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of Wolfgang Spitzer, the dedicated news correspondent and his family, cruelly murdered by Dominion thugs in an act of piracy worthy of the Dread Pirate Brockenstein. The government of Anastamber has dispatched a formal protest of the treatment of our citizens and is ruminating on further responses to this outrage. In addition all Anastambrian military forces are hereby being activated to wartime status. For those of our citizens in our reserve components or on inactive status, please report to your units at midnight tonight. Finally, we will be increasing the size of the Condottieri Corp for non-citizens who wish to help protect our country. We will be providing more information over the coming days and I will be presenting a prime-time speech to our nation within the next few days to explain the reasons for these actions an to outline the challenges before us. Good night.”

Ministry officials were unwilling to discuss the unpresidented actions announced today, defering all attempts at interviews until after Minister Dres’naus’ speech to the nation. Reports have reached us though of naval engagements between Anastambrian forces and Dominion ships traveling between the Home Islands and New Reagan. Rumors that the Condottieri Corp was being mustered to suppress an incipient rebellion in the disputed coastline of SE Anastamber were officially denied, but viewers have emailed us video showing Condottieri troops deploying from their bases in full battle array and heading toward the Strip. Noted military analyst John Doohickens stated in an interview with N3’s Facing the Nation that Anastamber holds the unenviable position of being between the Dominion and it’s New Reagan colony, making its assimilation a tempting target for The Very Evil Overlord. More news as it comes in.

**Switch to a commercial for Breathrite NBC masks, a division of Danco**
27 minutes ago The Utopia of Rolen ***Transmission from Rolen Government News Network***

*opens to Defense Minister Pewtun speaking before the Ministry of Defense already in progress*

"The movement must be defended. The Very Evil Overlord has brought his reign of terror to the region of New Tiamat. This will not be tolerated, nor will any aggression towards the Anastamberians. I have ordered four wings of the Rolen air guard to prepare for immediate relief of the Anastamberians. We cannot allow this siege of New Tiamat to continue."

At this time, Rolen has made no formal declaration of War against the Dominion, nor any plans to take offensive action. It appears the Rolen troops are gearing up for a defensive backing of New Tiamat hostile areas and hot spots, such as Anastamber.

GNNB's live report:
----------------------------------------------------------------
It would appear from the small troubbled region we all have known for its pirat harbours, intense crimelord conflicts and the constant dispute over whos boarders end where a major change of development has come just thees few days of the weakend.

A large elite of bankers has backed a very old royal familys lost hairs , just now claimed to be found.
Allso some ancients lore that some of us know from fairy tales of a mythical realm are said to have been presented , and it old name now on everybodys toungues.

Ladys and gentlemen it was declared yesterday , the land of old myth , the land of Nanoriath has as late as yesterday been declared a nation again in this region. And Tir Völsunga is been decalred its royal ruler together with the rest of his line. Sister, princess Tyrwynn Völsunga and her daughter Freja.

One would say with all the wealth of the bankhouses , this would even withouth the mythical mumbo jumbo have a good chance of holding up against the chaotic crimelords in the area , and would probably have most nabouring nations who bicker aboout the borders hesitate becore taking hostile actions against this declared state.

...now?..yes ofcourse... .It appear we just have a live feed coming from the royal residence..we will be taking you there directly.


"I am Freja Ninahir Völsunga, daughter of the long lost royal princess , my mother. As you have lurned they have returned to reclaim the nation with hope of bringing peace and dignity back to this land, that for so long has dwelt in disgrace.

It is far overdue we end the beast that feeds on chaos, it is time we fill our citizens hearts with courage, and not let the scavengers of crime taint us with fear and drain us of the lust for life.

The seven honest buisness houses of banking; Getagold, Dimlight, SEG, Inter-Financic, CK-Mithril, Phenoxyte and FXT have sworn their efforts to assist us in this most urgent task, and we are to them greatfull..

We have resources, but I want to take this oportunity to plee to the many grand states of the world for help.
Help in quickly assembling what we can not build fast enough ..help with assuring thoose that would have us fail that we have you on our side...

Please, good willing rulers of this planet..help us , help me.. bring
hope back to this scorned part of the world.

Thank you for lending me your attention"


..Im on..yes..oh ...That was as far as our experts can say an authentic message and it certainly came out as a very clear message.
This has been Jack Goranof reporting to you live from the what appears to be a new nation of Nanoriath for GNNB.

Hitlerreich In Flames!

By Alexei Zamrat

The Tenth Anniversary of the capitulation of the Hitlerreichian government should not have been something to celebrate in the capital of Hitlerreich; for most of the citizens of New Berlin, it marks the end of an oppressive, albeit stable regime, and the start of an unstable and terrifying new chapter in the history of Hitlerreich. However, for the Hitlerreichian Independence Party (HIP), and its militant wing, the Hitlerreichian Peoples Army (HPA), the anniversary was the start of a third chapter in the history of this war-scarred country.

Early this morning, a series of what experts now believe to be coordinated, explosions ripped apart the misty morning air. Each carbomb was situated by barracks containing military units of the Grand Republican Army, or the Hitlerreichian Army, or in the case of the largest weapon, the City Hall. The number of casulaties is so far unknown, but is believed to be in the thousands due to the amount of explosives used in the bombs.

At the same time, many units of the Hitlerreichian Armed Forces, particularly the Army, either rebelled against their Republican Advisors or simply failed to turn up for duty, leaving the military in a state of chaos. Though the military has shut down all interior communications, it is believed that many of these rebel units, aided by the HPA, are now actively engaging units of the Grand Republican army ibn street fighting in the Capital. Smoke looms over New Berlin, and a flood of refugees has begun to come from many sections of the city, telling of mass fighting and hundreds of casualties, many of them civilian. As the sounds of fighting grow nearer to the press building I am situated in, the future looks grim for Hitlerreich...

STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND NUTS --- LOCAL: ZIP: Zeldon Coroner, Skela Tonbones, today says that the seven pantless bodies on board the Brickhouse plane that crashed last Monday all died from eating lunar cheese and peanuts. He explained that mixing the elements of the cheese and peanuts creates an unnatural gas that can in large enough amounts cause death. Since it has been learned that all seven ate during the six hour flight from Brickmoor to Messadon; that in the time of travel death was the only solution to this event. Now they are trying to find out why these two substances were served on board the craft to all seven. As under air regulations the serving of more than one main dish on a flight is prohibited thus cheese and peanuts both should not have been served. DA, Hangem, of the Zeldon Justice Agency, who has been assigned to look into this incident has indicated that it will been recorded as, Pilot Error, and nothing more said about it. He was on his way to lunch with his brother-in-law Moonie Strukko.. and did not want to say more until the plane had been completey melted down and converted to tea platters.


SINGER WON'T SWING ---- ENTERTAINMENT: ZIP: Jazz Singer, Louda Mootha, has announced that her planned week tour to New Berlin will not take place. Recent changes in the area have given cause to prevent her from making the trip. She instead will spend the week at LePleasure Beauty Overhaul Pallace in Maruuba with her first cousin, Ibrow Lownose, who just recieved a large bonus from the Internation Relief Foundation out of Robemblind where she is Director of Finance. They plan to spend a full week getting a nose job, tummy tuck, and butt lift, then fly to Moonlove for some time in the nude.


POLICE CAPTAIN CANNED -- LECAL: ZIP Captain Lyde Oncatoomucho, has been relieved of all duties after being caught by Zeldon Clowns at the residence of Cookie LeMoor, noted hooker and witch. Officials are not saying exactly why Captain Oncatoomucho was in her pantyhoose on loverslane but have said that more will be coming once the investigation has been completed. Cookie has gone on the Jeri Sprunka show twice since the Captain and her was arrested and repeatedly told Sprunka that he was only there to help unclog her plumbing nothing more. Captain Oncatoomucho will be seen before Judge Dona Givahoot on Wednesday coming... Judge Givahoot was not available for answering questions; as his staff said he was in private conference with Miss LeMoor and her lawyer, Hotti Tolipps, about the case against Miss LeMoor.
