Of the sixteen most current international incidents, fourteen involve war or the military in some capacity, fifteen if this is to be counted as one.

Cretal is sick to death of what we term in our idiom "the steel penis debate," tired enough of it that the Parliament has put to the people the first-ever vote on a constitutional amendment, which would bar Cretal from having an offensive military. It requires 3/4ths of the states to ratify, and it looks very likely that it will pass, given that those in favor of making the Cretalian military self-defense only are polling at an unheard-of 89% nationally.

This, I suppose, would mark the end of Cretalian imperialism. But at least the space program would get tens of billions of dollars in increased funding. And college education would become free without cuts in professor pay. Health care in Cretal is already free, but the waits on major surgeries not involving transplants would be shortened, so I suppose all this is a good thing.

OOC: What do you wanty in II. It is just that International Incidents. It is alot better that there are wars here than in the Nationstates forum or even worse the general. Basically, II is more for war and NS is more for peace and ambassadorial things (in my understanding)

CRETALIAN SPACE AGENCY LAUNCHES MANNED ROCKET TO EUROPA

CRETAL CITY, CRETAL(CFP)-This morning, before an estimated crowd of 115,000, Europa One launched, bound for Jupiter's moon Europa with a crew of five. This will mark the first time Cretal has sent humans into the asteroid belt.

"We hope to gather a lot of new data from this trip," Jim Lyman, crew scientist, told the Cretal Free Press. "We're also really, really looking forward to seeing asteroids. And, if all goes well, we'll be able to drill for water once we get to Europa."

WEIRD NEWS:

FIRST AMENDMENT PROTESTORS ENGULF "SISSY TANK" IN FLAMES

CRETAL CITY, CRETAL(CLN)-Today, in a protest against the strongly-backed Powers of Defense Amendment, which would be the first Amendment added to the Constitution in the nation's history, protestors burned flags, shouted cries of "Save our troops!" and "Don't be a panty-waist," referring to President Mikhail, who had until recently been a strong advocate of the military, increasing its budget from a paltry $13 billion a year to nearly one hundred times that.

They then engulfed a foreign-purchased "sissy tank," made of pink metal and lace, in flames with gasoline as classes let out at National University. While their actions have been widely publicized for their creativity, so far they have had little effect on the polls, which now stand at 86% for the Powers of Defense Amendment and 11% against, with 3% undecided.

Thanks, I actually have a pewter pendant with the same design.

ANTI-AMENDMENT PROTESTORS CHASTISE "POD" PEOPLE

CRETAL CITY, CRETAL(CFP) - A second day of protests by pro-military demonstrators saw their performance of skits involving what they believed would be faults in Cretal's new defense policy following the passage of the Powers of Defense Amendment. A lone demonstrator, armed, walked up to the group with an M-16 (OOC: No gun laws in Cretal...) and pretended to start firing. The other protestors skipped around, flipped their hands as though they had limp wrists, and cried "What do we do? What do we do?" until all had been "hit" and lay "dead."

The protestors began referring to amendment backers in increasingly aggressive tones, calling them "pod" people for their backing of the (P)owers (o)f (D)efense Amendment.

Well also have 50 of those hippie planes :)
