Limavady Declares Conscription

17-02-2004, 23:14
At 21:56 a press conference was organised at one of Limavady's secure government halls. The dictator of Limavady made his way to the podium behind which were the nations flags.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, you have been called here today to hear a statement on our new military policy"

Flashing lights from the camera fill the room.

"As many of you know, one of my biggest policies is the defence of our nation, and defence of our people. Therefore a nation wide conscription act is coming into place. All males aged from 16 up are required to join the military for a minimum of 5 years. The only exception are those who have high grades and intend to stay in school. They will only be required to stay in the army for 2 years and will get their tuition paid for by the government."

The crowd gasp at the statement being made

"This will increase of military to nearly 600,000 troops (taking 30% to be too elderly/young/ill to join, and 50% of the remaining total to be woman - these are basic figures and are not totally accurate). Again the reasoning behind this is purely for defence. There will be further changes to government policy at a later date, I thank you for your time"

The crowd stand and ask questions as the dictator leaves the room.
