The Roman Emperor would be glad to attend. However, the Office of the Emperor would like to know if there will be cake and wine, because Valerius is quite fond of them.
Yes and yes. There shall be a serving of just about all the beverages in the world (so the guests can get whatever they wish to drink) and party snacks, which include (but aren't limited to) cakes of all sorts, hour d'eurves and many other delicious things to nibble on...
I'd like to thank all E2 members for their participation over the years and I dedicate this, the 20,000th post to all of you and to announce that I am temporarily putting Infernal on hold.
Infernal on hold?! Oh noes!

July 14, 2007. King Haakon of Cotland turns 34, and will celebrate with a big party in Oslo. Everyone's invited, regardless of political relationship (save for war, which I don't think I am involved with anyone but Nero)!

The Fuhrer will come to the party.

But rest assured that the coup plot will go tomorrow, with a potential declarationn by General Singha - if you've been in Saint Lazare recently, 1 SL day = 1 RL year ;)

Unfortunately, the Grand Duke will be unable to attend to Cottish birthday birthday, but posthumously appreciates all of the akvavit he got from his last ill-fated trip.

Just to let everyone know that security for the World Cup II will be extremely tight. Do not expect to sneak into sporting events with weapons, despite whatever legality status they may have within the Empire. There will be metal detectors sensitive enough to detect loose change, x-ray scanners, and plenty of German Shepherds. There will be no terrorism at this event and, should an instance of terrorism occur, expect a very swift, powerful, and determining response by the Layartebian authorities and remember, we don't have a posse comitatus act. There will also be price freezes in effect to prevent any gouging and opportunism.

The Empire will offer the winner a prize too and we will announce it when the games begin.

_________________________________________________________

To recap things, a list of those who will attend

Hawdawg (PM Wells)
Layarteb (the Emperor)
Pushka (Ivan Mishin?)
RomeW (Emperor Valerius)
Hirgizstan (The Fuhrer)
Marimaia (Premier Zhao)
Spizania (Captain's Regent) - only if he comes in a normal aircraft like the rest of the gang


Additionally, I've heard from SB that he'll attend if he finds the time. Sounds like quite a guest list for what promises to be a one hell of a party. Perhaps new alliances or trade agreements are made here. Perhaps there are a few good new reasons to go to war with each other. Who knows what'll happen when a lot of heads of states meets and gets drunk together?! :)

German Shepherd = my favorite dog, they're ultra loyal, especially in a family with young kids. I had one when I was much much much younger and if you wanted to mess with me you had to go through the dog first and she'da killed.

Well I've equipped by GBU-59 Massive Ordinance Penetrator with a powerful nuclear warhead. I took the warhead from the AGM-189C Orion and put in a variable yield so it can be as weak as just 700 tons or as powerful as 9 megatons.

200.00 ft. of 5,000 psi reinforced concrete, 26.00 ft. of 10,000 psi reinforced concrete, 130.00 ft. of moderately hard rock, or 180.00 ft. of earth

Those are its penetration capabilities and equipped with a GPS it can hit within 6.50 feet of its intended impact point. A 9 megaton blast delivered directly into the ground at such a depth could shatter bunkers capable of protection against airbursts in excess of 20 megatons.

As a matter of fact, i'm already working on a RP that could change the fate of Trensk. *Inset Kefka-type laugh here*.

Here's the prologue.

Freedom of the Sparrow

As he sat in the Cargo-Hold of the Cargo Plane, the prisoner felt smug, he had managed to kill 62 Trensk Infantry Troops, blew up a Weapon's Depot on the Borders of Trensk and the Fourth Reich as well as severely piss off a General when he was finally captured after a 2 week chase, they managed to get him when he was getting passage out of Trensk for his actions, now they were taking him back to THAT place.

Across from him, watching him like a hawk, was a Special Forces-Alpha Squad Soldier with an AK-74 trained on him, ready to fire at a moment's notice, sitting away from them was 3 more members of the SF-AS, checking their weapons and talking amongst themselves, mostly about trivial things.

The prisoner looked at the young soldier watching him with his pale red eyes, his white hair was messed up and dirty, he was bound in shackles made from Steel, his clothes if one could call them that were no better then scraps of cloth, formerly a decent set of clothes before his 'adventure'. however now torn and dirty with dirt, sweat and blood.

He sighed internally as he remembered why he had left THAT place, he had been one of the experiments, attempts to make a 'Advanced Soldier', however they forgot that all creatures desire to be 'free', he was one of 400 subjects, all similar, they were ment to be a Batallion, but many did not survive past the 'Genetic-Sequencing' stage of the experiments, he scoffed which made the other man uneasy and tense, suddenly the cabin lights went dark, the plane's engines stopped, causing the Soldiers to look up from what they were doing in suprise and alarm, suddenly the cabin shook violently and all he heard was panicked screams and the shouting of Soldiers as they tried to strap themselves in, then all he saw was darkness.

When he came to he got up with a soft groan of pain, it felt like his nerves were on fire, as he got up from the cold dirt he shook his head, trying to clear the 'fog' that came over it, as he looked around he raised an eyebrow, the plane was torn in half, fires were spread around the area, wreckage dotted the area, peices of metal, seats, but there was no sign of his captors or the pilots, he brushed himself off and smirked.

Luck was on his side...

I'm too tired to finish it tonight, so i'll post the full thing in a different thread tomarrow, give me some feedback on this and let me know how i could improve it. ;) Gotta go now, need to get Caffine! >_<

Okay, so here's me on my weekly tour of NS, and I'm distraught that only 9 people are still signed up.

To all E2 folk!

If you have any pride worth of NS, you will give me your team!

All I need is the following information:

Team Name
Number between -5 and 5 (any number!!!)

I will do the rest!

It's that simple! You don't even have to follow up with any posts (although I think everyone else would greatly appreciate it if you did), so just give me your teams and we can get this rolling! No qualifiers! No weird stuff! Just pure World Cup mayhem!!! Capisce? GOOD!

As a matter of fact, i'm already working on a RP that could change the fate of Trensk. *Inset Kefka-type laugh here*.

Here's the prologue.

Freedom of the Sparrow

As he sat in the Cargo-Hold of the Cargo Plane, the prisoner felt smug, he had managed to kill 62 Trensk Infantry Troops, blew up a Weapon's Depot on the Borders of Trensk and the Fourth Reich as well as severely piss off a General when he was finally captured after a 2 week chase, they managed to get him when he was getting passage out of Trensk for his actions, now they were taking him back to THAT place.

Across from him, watching him like a hawk, was a Special Forces-Alpha Squad Soldier with an AK-74 trained on him, ready to fire at a moment's notice, sitting away from them was 3 more members of the SF-AS, checking their weapons and talking amongst themselves, mostly about trivial things.

The prisoner looked at the young soldier watching him with his pale red eyes, his white hair was messed up and dirty, he was bound in shackles made from Steel, his clothes if one could call them that were no better then scraps of cloth, formerly a decent set of clothes before his 'adventure'. however now torn and dirty with dirt, sweat and blood.

And then you and your friends get pissed off at the judge who is letting the fucking Germans fault and you go on a village wide violent drunken mob rampage with someone suggesting that its necessary to purchase a train ticket to Portugal and stab the bribed bastard!

The Empire will be conducting a series of civilian space launches using rockets and our Next Generation STS over the next four weeks. These launches will be to replace aging weather satellites left over from the Republic that are inefficient, especially in tracking and working with hurricane research. We will also be adding further communications satellites to our network as Manchurian Global has completed a six-year long endeavor to create a global communications division. Please do not be alarmed at these launches.

Official Press Release

With the onslaught of the devistating Hurrican/Typhoon season and the ever present danger these monsters place on the lives of so many in the Pacific Region, the Holy Republic of Hawdawg has decided to upgrade its Hurricane Tracking capabilities by launching several improved satellites to assist in the tracking, detection, and mapping capabilities of the NWS-Hawdawg. In addition to this project, several experimental vessels will be fielded in the coming year to track, monitor and study the effects and factors associated with the deadly Tsunami phenomenon in the Pacific. We hope to provide assistance to our neighbors in the Pacific with valuable data so they can make honest decisions about the safety of there citizens should one of these forces of nature take aim at the fragile coastline in Western and SE Asia. All data will be farmed throught the National Weather Service to foreign government offices that handle weather watches and warnings.


Signed,

Gordon Wells
Prime Minister, Holy Republic of Hawdawg

Some things.

1) SL when's the kickoff for WC2?

2) Me, vacation, Aug 1 - Aug 13 (def no compy there)

1) After August 15. Why?

2) I'll be out from August 1 to August 15, helping my parents move. Unless I steal away someone's wireless, I'll have no internet access for the longest while (which means vacation mode...). I might have some time on August 1st, and I may return before the 15th, but I wouldn't know until that time, so I won't any time to do the World Cup until after the 15th. Besides that, I'm moving with them, quitting my job in the process to help move out and get ready for school (Aug 29th). That means, from the 15th to 29th, I'll be free to do whatever whenever.

Sorry for the troubles, but hopefully, in the meantime, PEOPLE WILL SIGN UP. We can't have a world cup with only 9 participants. If you're just standing there, gloating at how much trouble this is causing me, you need to give me this following information before I start fudging with names and such:

NAME OF TEAM
NUMBER BETWEEN -5 AND 5

If you can't type that, you don't deserve to be a part of EII :p. j/k of course, but if you're looking at this right now, thinking, "well, I wouldn't have time for that..." YOU'RE WRONG. Just type out the information and we'll be happy, everyone goes home happy, and Fluffy doesn't get hurt.

I have begun work on the "expanded spreadsheet" and I would like now the necessary help to fill in your part of it. All you let me know what you are in here and we can move along with this and make it really easy to work with everyone here. You can telegram me, you can e-mail me (JGDevlin@gmail.com), or you can post here. If you are going to e-mail it I would request that you use the header "Earth II Spreadsheet" so SPAM filters don't block me from seeing it.

It's simple and here are the categories. If you look at the example here (http://www.theforsakenoutlaw.com/Nation-States/Earth%20II/Spreadsheet/EarthII_General_Sheet_files/sheet004.htm) you can see I filled out my portion as a guide.


Nation Name (what you call your nation in full)
Demonym (i.e. Layartebian)
Population (can be up to your full NS nation population but be realisitic with space and what not)
Largest Religion
Military Size (total # or % [during peacetime])
Independence/Founding Date
Capital
Government Type (i.e. Parliamentary Democracy, Monarchy, etc)
Economy Type (i.e. mixed, market, etc.)
Head of State (this is the king if you have one otherwise a president or someone)
Head of Government (whoever is in charge of the government, often this and the head of state will be the same)
Official Language(s)
Official Religion
Consitution (yes/no)
Currency (symbol too please i.e. $)
Summer Time (yes/no)
Time Zone(s) (just the #'s please, i.e. for US = -5 to -10)
Calling Code (# i.e. US = +1 [you can use whatever you want just be wary that you might use things that others use so we'll work that out later if it happens)
Internet TLD (i.e. .uk, .rus, etc.)


Here are some helpful links

Just some figures here:

In 2006, the Empire conducted 383 public-knowledge executions [i.e. not classified] and an additional 98 classified executions. Of the 383 public executions, here are the figures:

128 by gas chamber
59 by electrocution
58 by pressure death
38 by hanging
36 by drowning
24 by burning
20 by lethal injection
20 by boiling

Of these 383 executions, the crimes were as follows:

199 for homicide
84 for rape
55 for crimes against children
45 for high treason

Of these 383 executions, the breakdown is as follows:

238 civilians
85 military personnel
60 government employees

Racial breakdown

200 Hispanic
99 Black
64 White
20 Asian, Middle Eastern, etc.

Gender Breakdown

300 male
83 female

At minimum, all of the condemned were allowed to exercise up to two appeals although after failure of both of them, they were promptly executed in their respective prisons with witnesses present. Witnesses were allowed to view the entire proceedure if they chose to do so. Witnesses present always include, by mandate: the judge who hands down the sentence, the defense and prosecution lawyers, a government official, a medical doctor, and two news reporters. The condemned is allowed to have his/her family present as well as the victim [in the case of non-treason].

These figures are down 35% from 2005, which saw 589 executions of similar breakdown.

Just some figures here:

In 2006, the Empire conducted 383 public-knowledge executions [i.e. not classified] and an additional 98 classified executions. Of the 383 public executions, here are the figures:

128 by gas chamber
59 by electrocution
58 by pressure death
38 by hanging
36 by drowning
24 by burning
20 by lethal injection
20 by boiling

Of these 383 executions, the crimes were as follows:

199 for homicide
84 for rape
55 for crimes against children
45 for high treason

Of these 383 executions, the breakdown is as follows:

238 civilians
85 military personnel
60 government employees

Racial breakdown

200 Hispanic
99 Black
64 White
20 Asian, Middle Eastern, etc.

Gender Breakdown

300 male
83 female

At minimum, all of the condemned were allowed to exercise up to two appeals although after failure of both of them, they were promptly executed in their respective prisons with witnesses present. Witnesses were allowed to view the entire proceedure if they chose to do so. Witnesses present always include, by mandate: the judge who hands down the sentence, the defense and prosecution lawyers, a government official, a medical doctor, and two news reporters. The condemned is allowed to have his/her family present as well as the victim [in the case of non-treason].

These figures are down 35% from 2005, which saw 589 executions of similar breakdown.

Boiling? Burning? Whats the point?

The amount of suffering your victim receives will always be 1/2 of the amount of suffer that you receive as a penalty and those were some particularly gruesome people (i.e. murder & rape of a child is a good example). We are not "humane" in our punishments and we don't feel we should be when people commit truly inhumane crimes.

Today is quite a day in military history, for me anyway.

At midnight tonight, the British Army's Operation Banner will officially end. Banner is one of the longest operations in the history of warfare, lasting 38 years. British troops first arrived in 1969 and will cease operations at midnight tonight. Only 5000, instead of 8-10,000 troops will now remain in the province, most from the Royal Irish Regiment. Its quite an interesting piece of history being made today.

As an Irishman I'm glad the Army is winding up its operations, but I'm not a bigot. The Army did a lot of good for us, stopping civil war and helping a lot of people. I, for one, will miss them somewhat as the police are useless.

Wow I was not even aware they were still there in such a force anymore since the whole "peace" stuff throughout the 1990s. It is a good thing indeed that they're leaving. Too bad it doesn't mean a unified Ireland.

Actually, the context of the British Army operations in Northern Ireland is very interesting. For example; in 1972 during Operation Motorman (the biggest single operation during the Troubles) there were 27,000 troops in a six country area that had less than 1.5 Million people at the time. Today, in Basra, a city that has more people than there are in Northern Ireland, the British only have 5,900 troops and 6,900 in Afghanistan. The British Army has shrunk in size since 1972, but not by a humungous amount. As you can see, the numbers are very interesting.

There is a story about the end of the Operation on Fox:

I wish the bastards would let me work 12 hour shifts, finally switched from 3rd shift (10pm to 6am) to 2nd shift (4pm to 12am) and I don't think that promotion they promised me is ever gonna come. So Im gonna start looking at new jobs this weekend gonna lean towards the UPS, DHL spectrum I like not thinking at my job moving stuff is so much funner plus the time flies by faster (and Im getting back into my pwnzor Ivan Drago shape that I lost eating fucking University food). Yeah, so thats the news update Im sure you all were waiting for. By the way if you think I stopped the crazy rants, no sir, I haven't just been letting my mind cool off these past couple of days (plus working during the day, moving 400 pound carts worth of shit constantly in 100+ degrees Fahrenheit has me unable to function), my rants will be back crazier then ever the voices in my head are starting to come back to life again. Last day of the hardest week of work I had so far peoples! I get off on Friday at 11:30 (worked till 12:30 on Wednesday) and I am getting drunk, everything goes, beer, vodka, moonshine, antifreeze...gasoline I think has some alcohol right? Aight now I smoke a cig and off to bed cause Im fucking tired and need to catch the moment while the voices aren't bothering me too much. Adios, Voronej Arms Expo will be up this weekend, Im gonna introduce someone very evil. Watch this clip to understand how much suspense is involved.

But my Manufacturing is focused right now on other 'projects' so i'll need to hire sombody to manufacture these wonderful 5.56mm weapons. ^_^

Yes I'm back from Cape Cod & what an amazing trip it was. So needed. I finished a book while I was there, Breakpoint, by Richard Clarke and that has given me a LOT of RP ideas. I am 150 pages from being done on the 588 page Ghost Wars and I started some Chechnya book seeking to make a case for independence (yeah Push you'll love that one. The author apparently doesn't think they want to be a "fundamentalist state" [lol] @ ass). Anyway, I'm back, a little sunburned, not hung over, and ready to get back into the action! Bring it on suckas!

Great to see you back, not a fundamentalist state? Ichkeria? Not a fundamentalist state? What is that guy smoking? Seriously I wanna know thats some damn good shit.

Maybe in 1994 I would agree with him but not anymore, not since Dudayev died and his successor went psycho-Arab-fundamentalist-I-Love-Bin-Laden...

Book is called, Chechnya, The Case for Independence by Tony Wood. I didn't get too far into it but the introduction says his whole premise. Check it out for a good laugh. Next thing you'll know he'll write that Shamil Basayev just wanted a jungle gym for his birthday.

Yep it cleared up and got really really hot. I lost quite a bit of hay, but I was able to salvage some of it and sold the damaged grass to a neighbor so all is good. I got a phone call yesterday afternoon and we sold about half what I produced so at least my fertilizer bill can now be paid. SB will tell you farming is a hit or miss deal, when its good its really good when its bad its really bad.

BTW PM Wells just strolled up to the Emperor and the Premier at Cot's party.

Its been retired since about err 2003 (EOL timeline). They were upgraded to the "C" standard in the late 90s but they were retired with the B-2. The B-52s were retired in the early 1990s. The B-4 Magnum entered service in the early 1990s and the B-7 in the late 1990s. The B-9 in 2003 and the B-11 in 2007. That's the strategic bomber force in a glimpse.

I have signed up for the World Cup, but I would like to see the link to the last cup so I can pull my roster from it. I haven't changed any of my players, they are out for blood this year. My 17 year old phenom is particularly interested in making the finals again.

Plus I am sending about 5,000 Manchester United fans to the Cup with a rabid pack of South Texas Soccer Fans to cheer on the team. Layarteb you may have to throw some of them in jail but that's perfectly okay with me.

Well here's a final breakdown of the size of the ILM.


Civilian Staffing (MOD): 2,000,000
Air Force: 3,500,000
Army: 4,000,000
Defense Forces: 2,500,000
Navy: 3,500,000
Paramilitary Forces: 1,000,000
Total: 16,500,000


In total there are 2,500,000 standing troops and 550,000 reserves in the army. In total, I have just 1.28% of my population in my military (excellent numbers). That is slightly more than the USA, which is around 1%. My standing army is actually just 0.002% of my population. These numbers are definitely not wanked and adequate. The current E2 average is just 1.49% so I am a little below average. There are some glaring numbers that exceed anything feasible, the biggest being Nerotika with 15.71% of his populace in the military. RomeW is at 4.4% a very high number considering but still somewhat doable as 5% can be easily accepted as your size during times of war, whereas during peace, below 2% is feasible. The three smallest are SL (0.10%), Brink (0.31%), and OK (0.48%).

Went throught them couldn't find the rosters just the press releases and the actual play-by-play of the games themselves.


In light of looking at my statistics I need to see if I could adjust a few numbers to reflect a better balance in my population, etc. A quick question thought are we including civilians contractor's in our military numbers or just logistical and actual combat troops?


I would like to adjust my population up to 725,000,000 (haven't adjusted this in ages) and I would also like to adjust my military service numbers to approximately 2% of the population (14.5 Mil)

Well that's a toss up. I included it mainly because it's included with the Department of Defense (USA) and my summary is basically my whole Ministry of Defense so I included civilians too. Contractors are a different story though, you mean like Blackwater and those people? If so that would be a no, they're private.

The DPRK is a serious problem there. They have an active force of just over 1,100,000 but tons of reserves so just under 6,000,000 total (a whopping 25.75% give or take). Obviously, we can see how they rank economically in the world (obviously not smart to have that many). Their active force is just under 5% around 4.72%.

Consider a post to come late tonight as well as a post in LoS. I've got to stay up nice and late tonight because I leave tomorrow (or actually Wednesday) at midnight for Acadia, Maine.

Heh, well I'm not sure what you guys are going to think of this but I hope at the least a neutral-positive opinion.

I know I've done some pretty messed up things, shown some pretty eccentric reactions, and lashed out in totally unwarranted and unnecessary ways. Hell, I may as well say it -

I've been a real psychotic, immature little prick. Anything you guys probably think of me, most likely negative/neutral, I understand. I mean, if some of you even feel a hatred..that's fine. I know I could've, and should have, just taken a break or perhaps even quit before things got messy. I just, well, there isn't anything I can really say about what was going on in my head. Honestly, I just don't know any more..and I just don't want to know.

So, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being such an ass, and I'm sorry for all the bullshit I've done. I know I attacked many of you quite personally, and I know I've broken even a few major NS rules in doing so. I know that a lot of the things I said were just completely not cool, and I just don't want to say anything beyond that as far as what I've done. We all know what I did, so what's the point in trying to re-live those past demons I guess?

Anyways, as of August the 8th of 2007, I have been diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. As far as I and II go, that's not certain yet. That probably explains just about anything I've done, but that isn't an excuse. My actions were, and are still, my actions. Nothing, at all, can ever be used as an excuse for such.

So, I guess all I'm trying to do is seek some sort of pseudo-forgiveness/acceptance. You guys don't have to let me back in, that's fine, I just want to know you guys understand it a bit better and realize that I truly am sorry.

Hell, if it makes you feel any better, it's nothing compared to shit I've just now pulled in my recent life.

Anyways, to basically repeat my self but to emblazon importance upon -

I'm sorry for being an unreasonable ass hole, and I hope you guys could some how forgive me.

Well, that's all I guess.

Yes "contractor's" aren't counted on my roster, I just wanted to make sure. BTW, what ever happened to the Foreign Legion? Is it still active? I recently had a large discharge of excellent soldiers in Casablanca and Tangiers that would do well in its service.


The 14.5 million basically includes all forces within the Republic. Some of the Civilian staff is counted if the position is a crucial cog (weapons refurbishing plants, ammunition centers, etc.) of the military apparatus. I don't really consider secretaries, janitors, lawn maintenance tech's, etc. in the fighting tally sheet.

Well I am relieved Pyschotika that they have been able to give you a diagnosis and I also know that with proper treatment Bi-Polar Disorder is and can be controlled through various medications. The important thing is that you are recieving help for this. There is always hope, remember everything happens in life for a reason. We may not know what that reason is, but you can bet a higher power does.

It takes a large person to admit mistakes, and an even larger one to ask for forgiveness for past indescretions. For my part, no hard feelings and I wish you all the best.

For the furthering of your relief, yes I am being medicated. 900 mg of Lithium a Day, 25 [for the first 2 weeks] mg of Lamictal, then 50 mg the second set of 2 weeks, and 100 after that for however long needed..

Ultimately, I've come back here to hopefully some day return to the EII community. I'll understand if I may never be allowed back in, or not for quite some time, but I do really want to re-impliment how important otherwise it is for me to know the majority of people here are atleast fine with me [not neccessarily fine with me rejoining EII that is though.]

Yes the Legion is still very much active but it's numbers will remain static. These new soldiers, however, can apply to relieve those retiring as many do each year.

By the way I estimated my active standing army to 2,500,000 and the total, real figure is around 2,300,000 and change so not bad although for sake of argument, I'm staying with 2,500,000 because conscripts come and conscripts go and it fluctuates each and every few months.

No thanks I drink mine from the tap. If I really need to hydrate, gatorade works for me.

Congrats on the job, apparently folks are crazy in love with bottled water. My wife can't get enough of the flavored Dasani.

Well it has less sugar than Gatorade and doesn't have the type of sugar that spikes your blood sugar levels (which causes that crash when you get tired after a sugar high). We use different sugar, lower on the glycemic index (safe for diabetics I believe but I would still call consumer relations and verify that for sure). We also use all natural ingredients unlike Gatorade and Propel, which just load their products up with artificial nonsense.

Right now it's just in the USA but since we're owned by Coca-Cola I doubt we'll stay domestic forever. I would assume though that Canada and Mexico would get it first (NAFTA and all).

With this in mind there is something going on here because he and RomeW had some joint-union thing going on there. This must be taken into account for "claiming-RPs" and there's an additional part. The way it sort of works out is that because the Roman union thing is that claiming countries get carte-blanche treaties to take it over and that's about it. Now we have a good amount of territory reserved for newbies so this can all be claimed freely.

For Sri Lanka. It took a lot longer than expected but it's a good initial posting. More will be explained though as the posts progress. Here's the synopsis as this is actually Killswitch Engage VII [Sanctuary] in its proper title.

Sri Lanka is split with the north being part of the Imperial Dominion of Doomanum and the south being the Empire of Layarteb. Completely cut off from the rest of the Doomani Imperium, the Sri Lankan government looks to support its struggling economy, which is dominated by arms manufacturing, military spending, and corruption. Piracy and crime take hold of the streets and threaten the sanctity of the Empire's state, especially when a nuclear power plant becomes compromised.

Rome, considering the extensive diplomatic and trading relationship I've had with Doom, I don't think the Doomanis will be too negative to have a Cottish peacekeeping force in their country. Would you agree?

Russian Trading Deal Signed in Yarkutsk

YARKUTSK (CFP): Russian trade agreement signed after top-level meeting in Yarkutsk. Business leaders, Mexicans elated.

By Tom Nordlie

In a press release earlier today, the Commerce Ministry officially announced that Russian merchant vessels and commercial aircraft are yet again allowed entry to the territorial waters and airspace of the Realm of Cotland, much to the surprise of the assembled press corps. Additionally, Russian citizens are once again to be allowed visas from Cotland, enabling them to visit the Realm again for the first time in years.

No Russian vessels or aircraft has been allowed access to Cotland since the resuming of tensions between Cotland and Russia several years ago when the Russian Federation re-emerged from the mists of history after the collapse of the original Russian Federation. This policy has been stricktly managed, with Cottish naval vessels and aircraft having turned back many a Russian merchant ship and aircraft over the years, but is now declared null and void, effective immediately according to Commerce Ministry officials.

The consequences for this surprising move will most likely be a positive one for commerce, both in Cotland as well as in Russia, as the opening up of Cottish territorial waters to Russian ships and vice versa will allow for increased exports and imports of the respective countries trading goods. It probably won't be long until high-quality goods such as Russian computers, kaviar and vodka, goods that were previously banned as a result of the boycot enforced by the Cottish government, will start appearing in store shelves throughout the Realm.

The tourist industry is also gearing up for the anticipated new wave of Russian tourists to Cotland, in particular the holiday hotspots in India and in the Caribbean Sea.

The trade agreement arrived in the midst of what was believed to be the latest chapter in the volatile relationship between the Russian Federation and the Realm, and seems to have calmed tensions significantly.

Anonymous sources within the Cottish delegation say that late in the negotiations, a deal was reached with the Russians concerning their non-interference with the on-going Cottish peacekeeping mission in the former Doomani states of Amur and Yevrey in exchange for Wrangel Island off the coast of Chukotka and the autonomous state of Oaxaca in Mexico. When reports of this reached Oaxaca, natives were reported to cheer.

The leader for the Cottish delegation was also reported by the same anonymous source to have officially appologized to the Russians on the behalf of the Realm of Cotland for the occupation of the Russian motherland five years ago and for the treatment of Russian citizens in the infamous Ust-Orda territory.

Cottish officials were unable to comment on these claims at this time, instead refering queries about this to the Foreign Ministry. We were unable to get a comment from the Foreign Ministry before this article was published, though they did promise an official statement in the morning.
