"In the past few hours a some what unfavorable situation has over taken a small island a few miles off the coast of the very little known Superior region. Richard Barley, (a.k.a. Pope Barley) the former leader of a since collapsed nation the Holy Empire of Drunken Slur, Was reported to have enslaved the local populous and reestablished his unfounded, little liked, and even less cared about higher achy.

The indigenous people are non-industrial, and naive to the world outside the island, now known as the Dominion of Pope Barley, and have been forced to work in factories that produce tacky material items, i.e. Pope Barley mugs, plush toys, wallpaper, and I love dominion t-shirts and sweaters.

A few radicals (The soldiers of the slur) now make up the only military, but are currently recruiting the locals, and refugees in hopes to grow faster. Experts tell us that the radicals are led by a spider monkey named General Hops, and a Dragon named Mr. Wiggles, whose war records reflect the quality of their leadership. (0-4)

Pope Barley is at the moment a mere nuisance, but his return after almost six years makes those who remember, The Empire of Drunken Slur, wonder ‘How did he regain power?’ and ‘Why did he come back?’. Those how don’t remember were quoted as saying, ‘Who the hell is Richard Barley', or 'Why should we care?'.

Let it be noted that if something doesn’t happen soon this nation might grow or even gain power in the UN. Only three outcomes can take place ; The nations of the world will take note and rid the world of this holy imposter, he will gain power and start harassing other small islands or even nations, or hopefully he’ll get bored and leave.”

OOC: Hehe. "Hopefully he'll get bored and leave." Good stuff. Just because I dislike posting pure OOC... ICness:

Little notice was taken of this particular individual, though some enterprising businessmen did take the time to establish trade links, mostly for exporting things that weren't utter rubbish to the island, and perhaps providing better employment to the inhabitants...
