The entire nation of Lietuveska is being rocked by protests in all major cities. Hvittsted, the capital, has suffered major protests since early last night, when the economic collapse was imminent. At least 4 million people have been said to protest, nearly half the country! Millions are taking to the streets, and major media outlets, which are government-run, are being told to not report on the economic state of the country until it has improved. In response, the Lietuv News Agency employees have taken to the street outside LNA headquarters, protesting government censorship.

Many are beginning to wonder if the days of complete socialism in Lietuveska are over, as President Weston's Council of Ministers has issued a public statement to the Blått Hus, urging him to take a more capitalist stance on issues regarding the economy.

In response, President Weston has shut down the Council of Ministers' Headquarters, as well as closed the Getczechen (Parliament) temporarily. This move has been met by more anger in the USSL, and emergency elections are being demanded by some groups.

Socialism and democracy are in danger in Lietuveska, and may not last much longer.

The USS Renard urges Lietuveska to hold on to the threads of democracy until the situation improves. It would gladly offer economic aide were it not in the exact same situation itself. Allow the news agencies to report the trouble, it will calm the populace to know that the government is taking the problem seriously enough to accept radically different approaches to the situation.

Time and careful handling of the economy will see the government through this.
