---From the New Stamford Courant---

Today, Mayor of New Stamford declared that an undisclosed number of Ohio class submarines have been sent to the islands of Barbados and Grenada with the intent of cutting off all sea contact. The New Stamford government has declared that Brabados and Grenada are to be annexed because of ceaseless drug and arms exports into N.S. territory.

"If the governments of Brabados and Grenada refuse to submit to N.S. forces before 5:00 PM Eastern time tomorrow, we will begin boming the capital cities of St. George's and Bridgetown withing one hour."

Although it is unknown exactly how many submarines patrol the local waters, it has been confirmed that over forty Black Hawk helicopters have been recently shipped to N.S.'s two islands, 30 to St. Vincent and 10 to St. Lucia. About two thousand troops are ready to be deployed immediately. As soon as the go-ahead is given, they will invade via C-17 cargo transport planes, hastily summoned to the islands.

"We don't want a war," said Mayor Steven, "But to ensure the continued saftey of New Stamford's citizens, we must stop the drug and arms runners, and we feel that direct rule over these islands is the best possible soloution. We WILL have these criminals subdued." The Mayor then did a backflip and jumped into a helicopter that swooped by, a classic Mayor exit.

---From the New Stamford Courant---

In a surprising act of pacifism, the Head General of Barbados today surrendered total control of the island nation to New Stamford. "We don't like it," said the General, "But the fact of the matter is, we don't have control of our borders, we don't even have a hope of getting around to starting to get the drug and arms trade under control. Unlike many of my predecessors, I do care about my people, and I feel that absorption into New Stamford may provide the hope that has been missing from our nation for years."

Smiling from his elevated desk, the Mayor of New Stamford delivered a speech to the totality of the New Stamford Controlled Regions. "We are fortunate to avoid war in this tense time. We don't need war to spring forth from Europe in this time, and I am aware that even such a minor confrontation as this could explode into a cauldron of fire. That is why we will extend the deadline for another day. Please, please do not force us into war. Grenada will become a lawful place under the control of New Stamford, even if it requires war first."

Grenadian authorities declined to give any response.

(OOC: I'm doing this because I've been tight for time recently, and I cant' really devote time to a full-scale war with two nations. However, I promise to do something better next time.)

"If you give us a small portion of the Agricultural Industry of these countries.....Perhaps we will look the other way as it seems......"

Sadly, I have been forced to undo all of my claims on Caribbean islands, and am forced to annex the islands all over again, so sorry.

The Kramden of West Cedarbrook recognizes the accession of these Islands to New Stamford.
