Soviet Russian News Network - Expansion Within The Pacific

News reports were already out about the purchase of Juristan Island or, to be more specific, the western coast of it, about the plans before that, about the Golencian statement that brought about the process. Now though was time to proclaim its being official. Official that another piece of land had went under the wing of the United Socialist States of Neo-Soviet Russia. Official that troops, any needed aid, and supplies would be deployed for the defense and updating of the newly acquired land.

Cameras were preparing to do their magic as makeup artists went to work on Julie Peterson and Austin Ghee. The first was a woman of late twenties and latin/european decent with green eyes framed by jaw-lengthed brown hair. The male was of Asian decent, thirty-four or so, with the typical dark eyes and black hair. Both seemed rather healthy regardless of makeup applied or not. Crews continued to work before a loud speaker came to life announcing fifteen seconds. Then ten. Then a countdown to two. The red light of the camera foward of the news desk lit up.

"Evening ladies and gentlemen, as has been reported here on SRNN as well as other stations both nation and world wide, the United Socialist States of Neo-Soviet Russia has been in talks with the Golencian government. To those uninformed the two governments were in talks pertaining to the transfer of territory situation on the island, an island which resides between Japan and Russia. These sessions have ended and with that it has become official that territories on the west coast of Jurristan shall be transferred to USSNSR ownership. Some are wondering what is to happen with the local populice. Though the Premier has yet to make a public address it is expected the adoption of this territory will be like that of Haiti and Puerto Rico though with possibly some conflict due to the status of the north western territory being procured. More news can be found on our website, for now though that is all...now on to other news..."

Also, Golencia, what's the population of the combined regions?

Associated Press: USSNSR Officially Acquires Western Golecian Juristan

--- --- --- --- --- --- ---

By: George Marqez

Havana, Cuba, USSNSR (AP) -- Neo-Soviet Russian acquisitions of territory within the Pacific on the island of Juristan have been confirmed. With that comes continued speculation on the reasons for this gain. Speculations though also arise from the possibilities of risk within the territory. Also questions have arisen over the number of troops to be deployed overseas for either short term or long term.

As to the first topic of wonder, reports have shown conflicting ideas. One possible and likely answer is a foothold in the pacific. A station for naval forces to help in reaching allies around this world. Some are going as far as thinking it a place for the USSNSR to spread for imperialistic reasons. Though not likely, it is still a possibility.

Others are thinking it due to the Premier's wishing to help aid a people who, under the control of another nation, could turn into another untolerant group or in some cases such as some cities within the adopted north western coast turn even more to poverty and crime to live.

To the thoughts of risk, it is feared the people could possibly rise up regardless of the legality of the transfer of power. Some analysts are looking foward and warning of a possible nationalistic rise which could turn into a sort of revolt and possibly a civil war. Though one threat, another arises within the northern half of the land received. Known to at times be heavy with gang-related trouble and gurella warfare. Fears, some unnamed sources state, are around that this could turn into a bit of a quagmire and that the USSNSR could end up with 'pie on its face', as some could say.

As to the last concern...the situation already effected some families. With parts of the 16th Logistics Division, 08th Quick Reaction Division, 17th Air Cavalry Division, and 11th Mechanized Division, word is coming that the full force of these divisions could be pulled over into this new Pacific realm. If that is so, the number of men over seas would be 150,000. Even here though views are conflicting, with some going to numbers just under 100,000 while more are thinking due to problems within the north and planned construction projects that the number could arise to half a million. Either way the number of people to be effected by this movement of troops in aid and protection will be of a rather decent size, to say the least.

OOC: For some reason I think of the 'western cities' territory and I think of Mogadishu and Black Hawk Down. Oi. And damn I need to get back to writing more...that seems more like an essay. I'll get back in the flow though.

ooc: well essay writing is at least more normal for news reports... so it still works, don't worry about it... and the fact that you at least write creatively compared to... well say many other... newer nations is stand out 'coolness' by itself. and yes, coolness is a word. i made it up.

(OOC: I'm somewhat behind when it comes to RPing..damned Christmas. Anyway, by time things go down this is the force that'll be there:

10 Divisions/300,000 personnel
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
16th Logistics Division
23rd Logistics Division
---
12th Support Division
04th Medical Division
---
08th Quick Reaction Division
32nd Quick Reaction Division
17th Air Cavalry Division
19th Air Cavalry Division
13th Mechanized Division
11th Mechanized Division

Due to the unknown size of the island yet my area having 107,000,000...I believe my number is rather acceptable. More detailed info on placement and equipment will be posting within the coming hours...considering I've still to get air power.)
