APABAD- It was an extremely tough night for the Pro-Democratic protesters in Apabad, Apistan, and the last for most of them. Apistan, a newly formed country on an Oil-rich island in the Persian Gulf, is a secular Socialist Dictatorship that encourages(and enforces) business and corporations, has no standing army as of yet, and the government is in the process of forming. Grand Benevolent Monarch Curt, as is official title states, has already proven to be ruthlessly effective in the quashing of a peaceful pro-democratic demonstration in his capital city of Apabad held last night. The Monarch ordered a group of his 10 000 strong paramilitary group, the 'Ratcatchers', to fire into the crowd with PKM machine guns and Kalishnikov assault rifles, which numbered as many as one thousand, and he himself was seen by survivors of the attack to be firing an AK-47 of his own at the woeful demonstrators. The protestors were reportedly grouped together in the massive courtyard of the Dictatoral palace when Ratcatchers lined the walltops and the Monarch and his personal detail came out onto his balcony, and is reported to have yelled "Vote on this you sons of bitches" over the loudspeaker just before commencing to fire into the crowd. It is not known how many were killed in the clash(estimates put the death toll at 500-1000) and it is not known what the international community's response will be.

The Underealms is sorrowed by the loss of life in recent events. Protesters will be supported with a fair supply of explosives and grenade launchers. We hope they are used well.

The Grand Benevolent Monarch of Apistan will speak on this issue. This article is lies and speculation, nothing more, and is distributed by a terrorist cell calling themselves a press agenct. Our good country does have it's own state-run news agency which is more reliable and will tell the truth at any cost. I trust you will call off your shipments of weapons to these terrorists-in-disguise after knowing the truth. Printed today(legally, unlike the Underground terrorist cell's paper):

"APABAD- Yesterday was a marvellous and spectacular day to go down in the history of the founding days of this great country! Our Most Benevolent Monarch has crushed an uprising of dangerous people intent on harming the citizens of this land! A fierce battle erupted in the courtyard of the Royal Palace of Apabad yesterday as the Monarch and his men were attacked by a fierce, armed mob of Satanic infidels! The battle was in dire straits, the Monarch's men outnumbered fifteen-to-one! Dodging bullets and RPGs, our great Dictator wielding a great sword of Allah ran into the crowd of terrorists infidels, killing hundreds! Several terrorists escaped this theatre of death they had created for themselves and spread stories and doctored video tape of the incident! I warn the people, anyone found associating with these infidels or reading or watching the lies they have put forth will be shot. In conclusion, rejoice, for the souls of these infidels plagued onto our land are now in hell where they belong."

As you can see, the stories put forth by those terrorists were completely decietful garbage.
