The <a href=http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=colonial_bahbland_inc>Bahbian Protectorate of Tobago</a> is in revolt! The Corporate Authority of Bahbland, who are using Tobago as a sugar, coffee and cotton plantation, came under attack by the natives two hours ago, when militants knocked out a patrol. Soon after, the Bahbian trading station came under attack by locals armed with everything that isn't tied down. The current Bahbian death toll is reported to be anywhere from 100 to 400.

Colonial Bahbland Incorporated (the owners of the Protectorate) Representative James Cooper reports that the rebels have resorted to car bombs and bus bombs to get their message of "freedom" across. "What they want is communism!" says Cooper, "We can't have that!"

Bahbian Cheif Executive Aaron DeAngelis (OOC; hey, that's me!) was quoted; "Bahbland bows to no people who resort to such tactics. Send in the Marines!"

The Bahbian Royal Navy has assembled around the island. Martial Law has been declared. Tarawa II assault carriers "Ark Corporate" and "Association" have been launching attacks against rebel forces, mainly with UH-1γ's and A-1β's, against buildings and vehicles thought to harbor the extremists. Three more assault carriers, and the B-52λ boasting ultra-carrier "Bahbland City," have been dispatched to the troubed island.

The Bahbian Infirmary Legion has sent the "Prince of Tobago" (no name has been given as he is bar-coded criminal, and with his name we could find him) a message saying that medical aid will be given to all wounded if the fighting ends.

***

The "Prince of Tobago" has requested other nations help him in the "removal of the corporate insanity that is Bahbland. To let Tobago become a free state."

The Cheif Exective of Bahbland, Aaron DeAngelis, has given an Executive address that any nation that helps the terrorists in any way; be it a nuke, a tank, or a loaf of bread, has made itself an enemy of The Corporate Authority of Bahbland.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
