(A news anchor comes on. He resembles Peter Jennings)

We interrupt this program with this breaking report. Our sources inside the government inform us today that a select group of military officials has seized back control of the central government from our ex-dictator, President Samuel Irwin. The leaders instituted sweeping reforms, which included the immediate re-authorization of our nation's Constitution.
However, President Samuel Irwin is still in the president's seat, although only time will tell if he has any real power anymore.
In other related news, military spending has skyrocketed to a nearly
unheard of 42%. Our economic's master, Kurt Dalgleish, will have that story later on in our News at 9 report. We'll keep you updated on any new developments in the story as they unfold. And now, back to our regularily scheduled broadcast, Pink Lovey Bunnies.

Greetings from Xeraph!

We are requesting info regarding the coup. What were the conditions in Samtonia necessitating an over-throw? What are the present conditions? Who is in control? And, most importantly, why is military spending at 42% and who is authorizing the spending?
The nations of the Alliance Regioni Militaria and the New Nations Alliance are concerned.......

Respectfully,


Alaric, King of Xeraph, Ambassador of ARM

As primary spokeperson the Tribal Countries of the Fushal region, I am authorized to speak on this topic.

While The Serene Republic of Tribal Gods is a functioning democracy, not all member countries of the ICTC are. There while we condemn the military overthrow, we must assume that is was necessary.

On behalf of the the Serene Republic of Tribal Gods and in particular, the International Council of Tribal Countries, I officially recognize the current regime. We enthusiatically request that caution is taken and that human life is held in the highest regard. We also request that a referendum is held by the people to decide whether to pursue an authoritarian or more democratic government.
