Regional Leadership Shakeup
In a surprising turn of events, the leaders of many nations in Yarrow were unceremoniously kicked out of the UN and decided to protest the event, in a very shocking way. The Protectorate of Dessication, the founding country of Yarrow, explains:
An Open Letter to the Nations of Yarrow
(OOC: The following was posted on the Yarrow message board. Please forgive slightly OOC nature of this post.)
Alas, I am grieved to inform this region about the sudden change in events. Several nations in Yarrow have been accused of belonging to a single person. This is the reason everyone lost their UN status, and I my delagacy. I founded Yarrow based on the small town in BC, Canada, which is also the marijuana capital of the world. Unfortunatly, Yarrows computer resources are limited, and several of us, and sometimes all of us, used the same computer to act out our positions in Yarrow. But since we have lost our UN status, we are completing the mission statement in the region heading, we are treating this occurence as an invasion of American peacekeepers, and each one of us are detonating the nuclear device at the core of our nation. We leave Yarrow to evolve and grow in power on its own. Good luck. Aleph Strata would be an amazing leader, and I recommend electing him if any nations in Yarrow join the UN.
Farewell,
-The Protectorate of Dessication
Aleph Strata Applies for UN Membership
In another surprising move, Aleph Strata actually accepted Dessication's proposal to join to UN, and, according to Undersecretary of State Roger Barnes, has filed the necessary paperwork and is awaiting review. Citizens were shocked. "I can't believe my own country would join a corrupt, sprawling, ineffectual, mean spirited..." one protester shouted, before collapsing from apparent exhaustion. But others disagree. "Personally, I think it's a good thing. This means we'll be taken more seriously," said calm bystander Aaron Jones. "Yeah, what he said," yawned overworked press secretary Nathan Cunningham.
Aleph Strata Deploys Military, Rescue Personnel
To help the former citizens of the dissolved nations cope, Aleph Strata has moved rescue and military personnel to the areas formally occupied by the ex-nations. "Yeah, I know what Yarrow is trying to do -- come in under to guise of trying to help, and then take over and impoverish the populace," said the same protestor mentioned earlier, from his hospital bed. "Oh, come on, this is a great chance for us to show our strength, and help people," said 1st Hengist Division Commander, Matthew Davis. The government has boasted about deployment abilities in the past, making use of the Tarhe Skycrane Helicopter. However, the Strata government did not issue more than a terse press release about this decision.
Aleph Strata Responds to Ice Nymph Threats
Unfounded threats by the Borderlands of the Ice Nymphs dogged down the economy last week, before the next ColaCola advertising campaign was introduced later in the day. If you still remember them, you might be interested to know that the Threat Analysis Division of the National Intelligence Committee has released a report discrediting them. "The people of Yarrow should forget all about these wacky threats and go back to spending, spending, spending!" claims the report. "Several dozen Anti-Aircraft Missile Batteries and a couple dozen big watchmacallits moved north yesterday," whispered our well-paid military informant.
