News Anchor: "Earlier today there was a coup in the small Empire of Risban. Count Robinson Antares Scorpius, an admiral in the Risban Fleet and a strong voice in Parliament, seized the Risban Palace with several thousand followers. Emperor Julius Graffia was captured by Scorpius and forced to surrender the empire. Then, Graffia was exiled. All those supporting the former leader of Risban, primarily animal activists, were imprisoned by the new Emperor Scorpius. James Ormiv explains the scene...."

James Ormiv: "This is James Ormiv reporting from Risban City, the capital of the Empire of Risban. There is a large crowd of approximately 500,000 people assembled in and around the courtyard to the Risban Imperial Palace."
The camera films the large crowd assembled in front of the magnificent palace. New guards are stationed at all the doors, and a man is seen on a high balcony.
"That right there on the balcony is Scorpius, the man responsible for all of this. It was rather easy for him to gain control; most of the citizens of Risban were growing angry with Graffia for a large unemployment rate. The new Emperor will be holding a press conference in just a few moments, answering any questions other might have."

News Anchor: "Thankyou, James.
For those of you who don't know, Risban is a fairly young nation with a population of about ten million. The Empire of Risban is located in a small region called the Consortium of Shadows. It has a good economy, and is known to have no political freedoms whatsoever. The government executive is an emperor, who is advised by a unicameral Parliament. Recently, Risban had begun spending more money on its military, building it up.
Now we will switch over to the Risban Broadcasting Network, where Emperor Robinson Scorpius will be taking questions."

In the Risban Press Room....
New Emperor Robinson Antares Scorpius of the Empire of Risban stands at a podium bearing the coat of arms of Risban. Reporters are assembled in the Press Room. Scorpius awaits any questions.

We wish to congratulate the new Emporer for his successfull coup. We would be willing to start economic relations with your nation. Since you have increased spending on your military, we have an offer to make you: We will offer you a one time aid package of $100 Billion if you would consider contracting our arms manufacturers to provide you with your weapons needs. Our arms industries are on the cutting-edge of military technology, as we are currently experimenting with rubber/ nitrous oxide propusion (As seen on the X-Prize winner) and a purified hydrogen bomb.
We eagerly await your response.

Since there was a break in questions and comments, Emperor Scorpius gave an announcement.
"The Empire of Risban, as stated earlier, shall have Embassies set up within the next 24 hours. Alexander Perkins is the new Risban Minister of Foreign Affairs," said the Emperor. "The Empire of Risban is willing to extend Alliances or Non-Aggression Pacts to nations that come to it with such offers."

transmission from Nemh:

I congratulate the new Emperor. As soon as my consul, Ambrose Dimsdale, and Thorkell, one of the Thanes of Nemh, are finished with their current errand, I will send them along to negotiate a plan so the Emperor can claim the dead insurgents that tried to flee his fair and just nation. Long live the Emperor!
