Author Proff Daniel Hades, has spent all week in the Rotovian Supreme Court in a bid to stop an Injunction rasied against him by the Rotovian Partiots Society, a lobby of pro-establishment citizens.

In Chapter 7, Proffessor Hades notes the appearance of Rotovian flags outside nearly every home, the presence of the President's potrait at Christining and Weddings, the phrase Glory upon Glory, Rotovia reigns supreme in the Constitution and the seven day holdiay known as Patriot Week. Inwhich Citizens spend and entire week celibrate Rotovia.

The book is currently under a Temporary Trade Ban, as the Government pushes to prevent the book being read overseas. Federal Spokepeople were quick to deny any fascist policies in Rotovia, and remind people the book is just the opinion of one man."

Reporter: "An out of court agreement was reached between the Federal Government and the author of Rotovia: A Nazi State which will allow the Government to censor the book for international distribution. Begining with a change of title to National-Socialism in Rotovia. The Government Censors have already removed four of the twenty-nine chapters and hope to have the revised edition out by monday.

Meanwhile, rumour has it a number of foreign printing comapnies have aggreed to print "second editions" of the book, thus bypassing distribution bans."

We encourage all Panooly citizens to read this book, as well as Mein Kampf and other pro fascist books.
