Dateline: SpyMac Region

Due to the aggressive nature of the The Republic of Macforland's suggestions for "military assistance", the Dominion of LeberMac has deployed troops near the border of The Republic of Macforland in what it claims is merely a routine training exercise.
The tiny country of 9 million refuses to accept any suggestion of occupation by the Republic of MacForLand, which seems to think the Dominion's military may need an upgrade, and has offered to "fix" the problem by bringing in MacForLand troops to "protect" the Dominion.
The military exercises involve thorough testing of the vaunted new "puck mouse projectile cannon", a fearsome weapon that, if it hits you, really really stings. Due to The Dominion of LeberMac's large stockpile of these "puck" mice, the ammo supply is virtually inexhaustible.
The military formations involve land, sea, and air units and are expected to last for 5 days.

Defend your national interests. Don't wait for the conservative MacforLandians to invade and destroy your peaceful way of life.

INVADE!INVADE!INVADE!

The Sultanate of Die by the Scimitar (DbtS) supports the invasion of Lebermac by the Republic of Macforland for its own defense. Lebermac is attempting to bully Macforland undoubtedly for its more attractive industries, such as trout fishing, of which Die by the Scimitar is also actively involved in. As a token of our support, and in hopes of Macforland and DbtS signing a mutually beneficial trout-fishing charter, the Sultanate will like to donate 6000 DbtS/C LR-300 Assault Rifles and 2000 AMR rifles courtesy of our other large industry, arms manufacturing.

The puny nation of Crotchrottery requests that LeberMac grant permission for Crotchrotterian Guards observers to accompany LeberMac forces into the field

With the sudden discovery by Dominion agents of the fearsome Kensington 7-button Expert Mouse trackball being deployed by MacForLand, the Dominion has accepted the presence of international observers from Crotchrottery to ensure that nothing untoward occurs in the border region.

The Expert Mouse device, which employs Diamond Eye™ optical technology for smooth, precise battlefield movement, is a potent weapon for which the Dominion of LeberMac has no proper defense. Surrounding the ball, a brand new implementation of the award winning Scroll Ring™ puts horrific weaponry right at your fingertips for easy destruction. More comfortable than ever, the Expert Mouse® even comes with a soft new wrist rest to ease trigger finger cramping.

Even though the Dominion of LeberMac has no imperalistic aims for the SpyMac region, nor wishes any ill will toward other Mac-friendly society, it must undertake action. Faced with certain military defeat at the hands of superior mousing technology if invaded by MacForLand, the Dominion pursues an alternative strategy...

Utilizing the latest in Panther 10.3.3 stealth technology, several of the Dominion's renowned secret agents infiltrate the Republic of MacForLand, attempting to install a bootleg copy of Microsoft Windows 98 into the Republic's main battle computer (WOPR), knowing that, if the operating system "works" as usual, the Kensington Expert Mice will be disabled, putting an end to MacForLand's imperialistic plans for the time being.

Will they succeed? You decide.

This excerpt was publicly released by a representative of the Ministry of Information from the Republic of MacForLand:
"After deep consideration, the Macforland National Defense Strategical Protection Office has reached the decision that it will not invade the Dominion of Lebermac for the protection of Lebermac's own citizens. As an alternative, Macforland has decided to extend a hand and offer their superb military services to Lebermac free of charge should any unprovoked attack come upon that region. In return, the Republic of Macforland Requests ongoing Alliances between the military forces of all Spymac Nations."

Sources inside the Dominion's Super-Secret Strike Planning office report that the government leadership only became aware of the press release mere moments before the "go" order would have been given to the secret agents for installation of Microsoft Windows 98 into the Republic's main battle computer (WOPR). The team, which was able to infiltrate undetected, was successfully extracted without incident. A tragedy has been narrowly averted.

Despite the deplorable bloodthirsty international pleas for a premptive strike on another SpyMac member nation, the Dominion of LeberMac has issued its own press release:
"Due to the friendly overtures of our neighbor nation, the Republic of MacforLand, we affirm in principle this treaty of nonaggression between SpyMac member nations. We furthermore welcome the goodwill and support of all Macintosh-based nation-states who reject the dogma of Microsoft."

The Dominion of LeberMac has also recently begun an investigation of The Sultanate of Die by the Scimitar (DbtS) for its role in supplying arms to MacForLand while attempting to instigate warfare which would only have beneffitted the Sultanate. A congressional hearing will be held to clarify the role the Sultanate played in the recent confrontation.

The peaceful military exercises will continue for another three days in a joint session with the puny nation of Crotchrottery.

Macforland finds itself in agreement with Lebermac
