And now the news update, brought to you by the UNS:

Anti-War march in Imperopolis poorly attended.
Yesterdays' much trumpted 'practice-run' for Friday's peace march in Imperopolis was poorly attended. The organisers put the figure of attendees' at just over 1,000 - roughly a third of what they had planned for. The police estimate was lower, at 900.
The Anti-War movement continues to sputter along after the loss of the Communist Party chairman and its key media ally - the Wuli Provincial Herald - and many media commentaters have labelled it as defunct.

Imperopolis Tribune questions PFRNC war committment - ambassador William Caixa silent.
The Imperopolis Tribune has publically questioned the depth of commitment to the war on behalf of the Prix-Financier Republic of National Commenwealth after reports came from that country that some of its military commanders and politicians have called for a cessation to the violence, and the resumption of peaceful relations with the Coalition.
The question - raised in the editorial of the paper this morning - has yet to be answered by the National Commenwealth Ambassador William Caixa, or the Unspecifistanian Foreign Office.

CUB slashes interest rates, economy begins to surge again.
The Central Unspecifistanian Bank has cut interest rates back to 2.5% as the economy begins a steady upwards trend. The cut - unexpected in light of creeping inflation - is beleived to be in response to soaring unemployment. However, saving rates stayed higher this week, remaining at 3% in order to keep the investment cycle running.

"Nuclear weapons? Is the Unspecifistanian Government crazy?" shrieked the Prime Minister of Southeastasia. He was watching the television. "This is only going to make the situation worse...."

Premier Palaeologus swore and thumped the desk.

"YOU IDIOTS!" He bellowed, thundering his anger at his hapless generals. "Nuclear First Strike is not an option. Hear me? NOT AN OPTION!"

"But Premier," stuttered General Wight, trying to restore his ordered demeanour, "We thought that this option would force our enemies into submission."

"Some submission!" shot back Andronicus, "Prime Minister Neo is furious with us! Repeal those orders, now!"

"Yessir!"

Androncius turned to the phone. He needed to apologise to his ally, and quickly. The Coalition was in need of cohesion, especially in the face of the enemy that was threatening them.

In any case, his new weapon was far more humane that a crude H-Bomb.
