A Nation Rebuilds...
Feature Artice: Anatoba Today Magazine

As citizens and prominent figures work side by side to rebuild a post-anarchy Austar Union, a man at the helm works tirelessly to coordinate every effort. Without him, the state of disorder would still exist, and beneath his own self... some growing supportive membership of now twenty five million individuals add greater speed and acceleration to the quickening pace of the New Order Movement throughout almost every level of society. From the average worker, to the rich and powerful CEO, not one can claim a lack of knowledge of the Movement and its principals and goals to change a nation. Their goal, is to incite a passion throughout the many. And as they claim, it will be through this national pride that a people can come together, and re-claim that which they are entitled to. Not quite a Nazi, but simply proud of his heratige, he is proud of what he has been known to name as the "National Vision". His entire purpose has been set in stone. His name, is Wolfgang Milano, Kanzer of the Union.

Front Page, The Times

Police were not unknown at the event which attracted a crowd of approximately twenty-thousand participants, and a guesstimated figure of some one point two million viewers from the various broadcasting points. Finally after its closure some months ago, the AuSE (Austarian Stock Exchange) has finally re-opened its doors to businessmen and traders alike, marking the occasion with the traditional "ringing of the bell". As expected, the various amounts of the AuSE was not quite as strong as it had previously been, as investors remained cautious. All the same, some 12.3 Billion A$ worth of stocks were traded by the market's closure at 9 'o' clock this evening. Indicies as a result rose steadily, providing some hope for the various global economists. Only tomorrow will tell however; market volitility is still considered high. In the meantime, Kanzer Milano is said to have made a personal appearance at the event; being a staunch supporter of Right-Wing and Capitalist Movements across the known world.

Etarosi Haven Crisis
World Section, Anatoba Daily

For a peoples relatively familar with some degree of social disorder, it seems that the revolutionry elements within Etarosi Haven are once again beginning to reform, now demanding complete automomy from the Etarosi Republic, aka, the central government led under the authority of Cyrus Kasparov.

Taking on the forms and guise of domestic terrorists, these activists seek to create terror in the hearts and minds of the average citizen there, and the global public media so that they might take pity on them. The target government facilities in hope of creating fear for the central government, so that they may force a withdrawal from the protectorate. In the meantime, said individuals have yet to come forward and actually try to form governance under a peaceful measure, thus making their credibility less prominant. Respective journalists from The Times Newspaper have taken advantage of this month's general media conference with Kanzer Wolfgang Milano, to question him on his plans for response.

"Well of course I lend my support to the Kasparov Administration," he snorted when asked where the Austar Union stood on the matter. "The Etarosi have always been friends of our citizens, and therefore they are considered a friend of this nation. It is unfortunate that more recent disruptions have created a sort of distance within our relationship, but that is something I will be seeking to improve."

"I believe the Etarosi have a lot to offer," he added. "And likewise, I am sure we too can offer them something in return."

Smiling, he went on to explain in further detail, including a five-point program which the Milano Administration would undertake in his support of the current government(s) of Etarosi Haven, if they were to accept his offer... (the exact contents of this offer was not released publically, due to government confidenciality). And further, he also mentioned a few things about his unwavering support for the VERITAS alliance, of which he was heard to have also lent his government's affiliation behind. The Austar Union is a Veteran Member of all three VERITAS Treaties.

Economy Section, The Times Newspaper

Company Director Michael J. Füllenmark reported to the public media yesterday that shareholders of the National Austarian Bank can expect profits to well exceed expectations within the second and third quarter, and to meet the standard criteria for a respectable profit within the fourth. Overall, the Bank which had at first told shareholders that they might expect NAB to make profits at approximately between 500 and 510 Billion A$, has now reported a substancial increase in dollars; now posting a company record profit margin, of approximately 570 Billion A$. This has said to be due to a major increase in the levels of investment, into both onshore and offshore platforms; and due to a substatial rise in the amount of investment loans given to private individuals. There has been an increasing trend for Austarians to invest into large quantities of stable investment vehicles, located mostly in political stable areas. Also, for those who remain cautious about personal investment, many choose to store a portion of their savings within a managed investment, particularly under giant fund groups as the National Investment Group, National Austarian Bank - Managed Funds, and United Group Limited. In the meantime, when asked to comment on rumours that the NAB might be looking into moving into less stronger overseas markets, Mr. Füllenmark declined to reveal any confidential details.
