We welcome the aid by The empire of Valinon to help with the floods of the State of Monkland. This money will go towards
flood water removal and to buy medical supplies for the people of the area.
The floods have been the worst in the area for 100 years and estimated damage is now put at 64 million
Eastern Bigtopia Grogs. The flooding would have been much worse if our president O`C Mazlet had not built the flood wall of Mazlet last year

With Thanks

We welcome this aid from the Gradenk Nations, the lack of tents to house the homeless is forcing people to sleep out side
and the temp can fall at night to below freezing, any form of temporary shelters would be also helpfull.

:shock: Cuparhead wishes to express its shock and sympathy for the flooding disaster hitting Bigtopia.

It too has experienced flooding in the past when the drain at the bottom of the street was blocked and all the scraggy wee weans played boats in the accumulated water.

As the van can no longer make it around to you, the generous people of Cuparhead is to fly in two months supply of twix bars and a month supply of irn bru (although you must return the rammies).

President Sir General Paddy
17-11-2003, 21:53
The people of Cuparhead continue to monitor the plight of its neighbouring Bigtopian state.

If the situation deteriorates, a motion will be presented to the Cuparhead parliament requesting an increased aid package of cheese and onion square crisps and the possibility of a tub (one for each affected Bigtopian citizen).


President Sir General Paddy

Independent Bigtopia is closing is border with The United States Of Eastern Bigtopia , We will not take any Stray water logged people from you nation, If you had not built the upper dam of Mazlet you would not have been flooded.
Minister Gary
17-11-2003, 21:56
A consignment of cheese and onion crisps and tubs have been dispatched from the Cuparhead port of The Lane.

Ships are now steaming for the affected Bigtopian cities. ETA two days.

President Sir General Paddy
17-11-2003, 22:01
The people of Cuparhead wish to express their displeasure at the attitude expressed by the Independent States of Bigtopia.

Two wrongs do not make a right. We can all be victims of nature and although you disagree with your neighbours' government's actions you should not close your borders to refugees.

President Sir General Paddy warns you that your refusal to take refugees could place you in violation of the UN charter. If you continue with this policy we may choose to raise this at the UN.

Minister Murphy. Foreign Secretary
17-11-2003, 23:30
We dont recognise the UN as it stands, We are an Independent nation and dont answer the the UN wip. Our borders remain closed until further notice

~Over the flooded plains of the nation the Kihamerian hovercrafts are finnaly seen on the horizon coming in quickly with the sandbags,as promised.~
"wow what kind of boat is that " said the school kids standing on the battered river bank of the Easter river.

The sand bags are now being deposited on along the river as there is a great weakness in the river bank now after the floods.
"We may have to rebuild about 3km of riverbanks" said the Minister.

As one of the powers occupying Lower and Upper Bigtopia, we feel obligated to chip in any way possible to help our new neighbors.

57th Brigade (Diaster Control and Reconstruction) under General Pierre St. Luc will be dispatched shortly via air to a point of your choosing. Also 150000 ounces of marijuana (our national currency) will be donated to rebuild riverbanks (we recently had minor flooding ourselves after the Falcon Brigade collapsed the banks of the Savoy in Lower Bigtopia and we will share our newfound expertise).

Any money would go to help the rebuilding.

The Minister for FDR steps out of his jet, waving to the crowd who had come to welcome him. He stepped quickly down the steps, to where a short motorcade of limousines, Bentleys, and other posh cars were waiting, to take the Minister and his delegation away, to a dinner dance he had just been informed about. Unfortunately, he had no-one to dance with, but he didn't think much about that as he wasn't much of a dancer anyway.

The motorcade set off towards the Green Hills Centre Hotel, a building which, upon arrival, reminded him very much of the Governmental building in which he worked. Perhaps it would have a better decor than that building, he hoped, remembering the monotone blue walls which got boring after your first week in office. But that wasn't important, what was important was to solve the Eastern Bigtopian flood crisis, and to enjoy foreign publicity as he did it ( :) )
24-11-2003, 01:29
The Minister , Senator Raj Shena attended the dinner and the dance event. He loved dancing and managed to dance with one of the many ladies in waiting much to the chagrin of the Falustrian Minister. Nevertheless, He took leave early to as he too knew that the issue at end was far too important than dancing with pretty women.

He excused himself from the crowd and went directly to the Ruler of Eastern Bigtopia to discuss on other aid details. The minister was pleased with the rescue efforts and have conferred honorary medals of Valour to the Gradenkian Rescue units. The minister also spoke to the victims of the flood and offered words of encouragement. Before departing from the tented city, The minister also promised that A Government Scholarship worth USD 15 000 would be offered to the first 50 Eastern Bigtopian who managed to excel well academically. They would be given the opportunity to study in Gradenk's prestigious schools.

Thunderstorms hit the area overnight once more and a loss of power to the hotel see`s the breakfast being taken out doors in the now sunny morning.
todays visit is to the cleanup of the main town center and shoping center.
