Norderian Rebel Attempts Takeover of Cluichstani Frickin' Death Star!

CLUICHSTANI NUKE TARGET, Norderia - Norderian officials scrambled to cover up a massive scandal involving a bubble gum ice cream transportation unit and a Frickin' Death Star!.

Joseph P. Shmoe, possibly a Norderian UN official, was arrested in Ceorana yesterday for possession of a crushed Gamegirl(tm), a very crushed personal digital assistant, and a very crushed digital watch. These constituted several items classed as Imploded Electronic Devices (IEDs) by the Ceorana Department of Redundancy Department (in charge of tasks that some think are better done by the private sector, i.e. terrorism alerts). Mr. Shmoe appeared to be attempting to use the IEDs to blow up a monorail carrying several thousand tons of bubble gum ice cream.

"I thought it was the Frickin' Death Star!, owned by the horrible, horrible nation of Cluichstan," Mr. Shmoe said, as he was surrounded by reporters. He was not actually taken to jail, as the Ceorana Department of War and National Security soon determined that carrying Imploded Electronic Devices is not actually a crime in Ceorana.

Ceoranan and Norderian officials, apparently angry at Cluichstan for possessing the Frickin' Death Star! that caused the entire incident, decided to apply for adminship duties at the United International Congress, a currently dormant organization aimed at directly opposing Cluichstan's beliefs, i.e. those of national soveriegntism, in an attempt to revive it.

Cluichstani officials were not available for comment.


It has come to our attention that one of our representatives, a Joseph P. Shmoe has committed an almost-crime within the Ceoranan borders. We would like to issue our humblest apology and the following statement:

We have no idea who this Mr. Shmoe is. In fact, we're certain that the name Shmoe is not a Norderian one. It is possible that it could be the family name of any number of millions of immigrants, so we will not discount the possibility that the gentleman is indeed Norderian. However, his passport seems to be made out of card board and laminated with cling film and scotch tape. Norderian officials are doing everything possible to sort this incident out.

In any case, taking an adminship seat at the United International Congress seemed like a nice idea, so Norderia will be doing just that.

So what are you waiting for? Join UIC today! http://z10.invisionfree.com/UIC

UIC is the United International Congress, an organization dedicated to more international involvement in national affairs and to act as a counterweight to the NSO, or something like that. It has been dormant, but we're trying to revive it. So join already!

Due to the untimely departure by Compardia and Norderia, the recent attempt to revive UIC did not go as planned. However, with me at the helm, perhaps we will see a more lasting revival.

OOC: So now you're advertising in the UN forums? If I did this for ACCEL's UN Division (which I wouldn't) I would get absolutely fried. I wonder what will happen to this thread...

NSO, UIC, GTT, UN DEFCON, and Reclaimation have all had threads on her about the matter. Unless there's a policy change I haven't heard about, a statement saying that an organization is back in business isn't out of order.

Certainly we see people still going "Hey, you should try Reclaimation!"

NSUN-related organizations are completely acceptable topics for advertisement. HotRodia wrote a very in-depth series of posts on NatSov, mostly aimed at advertising for the NSO. You may wish to look them up.

I'm glad to see the UIC back in business. I joined right around when it died off, and it's good to see it coming back.

We are disgusted that the UIC attempted to take over the Frickin' Death Star. If you had harmed the Shazbotdom Deligate to the UN DEFCON, there would have been major consiquences to your nation.

We have officially decided that we will dispatch something to defend the Frickin' Death Star. By my orders, the 1st Company, 11th through 20th Divisions of the Shazbotdom Marine Corps for defensive purposes. You have been warned that any more assault attempts on the Frickin' Death Star will bring major consiquences.

The government of Ardchoille denounces all the preceding in order to keep our denuciation muscles in trim and notes that we have some Cats that require herding, if the government of Forgottenlands has any energy left over after getting our fellow internationalists organised.

Okay, thanks. I knew we could advertise in threads, but I didn't think whole advert threads were allowed.

They don't come up all too often, which is good, but we've had a few here and there.

Cluichstani Commander Laughs Off Norderian Rebel

FRICKIN' DEATH STAR, Earth Orbit - Sheik Nikrat bin Cluich, commander of the Cluichstani Death Star, said today that the idea that the enormous space station was ever in danger is "positively ludicrous."

Commander Nikrat's statements were made following revelations that a Norderian lunatic had been trying to destroy the Death Star.

"Seriously, people, the guy couldn't even tell the difference between the Death Star and a monorail carrying bubblegum ice cream," the commander said.

"How bloody retarded are those Norderians anyway?" Sheik Nikrat asked, laughing. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to the canteen (http://z15.invisionfree.com/UN_DEFCON/index.php?showtopic=228) for some lunch. The chef makes an outstanding penne arrabiata."

The misguided attempt to attack the Death Star did not go unanswered, however. A few short hours after learning of the plot, a squad of Yeldan Destructor Bunnies, presumably hired by the Cluichstani government, once again attacked the Norderian ambassador to the UN, as seen in footage from a security camera (http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/Yelda/attackbunnies.gif) in the ambassador's office that was released to the press by UN Building Management.
