Republic of Rezlas Sends Second Battle Group for Maneuvers off the Coast off Drunken Frat Boy Island

Centraile, Rezlas TODAYS DATE – President Jeffries announced today that the Reagan Battle Group would join the Nixon Battle Group for maneuvers off the coast of Drunken Fratboy Island. Admiral Cuervo, commander of Rezlasnian Naval Forces stated “These maneuvers and the addition of a second battle group have absolutely nothing to due with the diplomatic strain we have faced with the current administration in Drunken Fratboy Island. This is only an opportunity to continue training our forces with the newly acquired equipment. We would however caution other nations to maintain a respectable distance from our area of operation as incidents tend to occur when so much firepower is concentrated in one area.” In additition to the standard battle group, the 2nd Rezlasnian Marine Expeditionary Unit is attached to the Reagan Carrier Group.

About The Republic of Rezlas
Location: The East Pacific

The Republic of Rezlas is a large, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving industries.
Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, bicyclists are banned from major roads, citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, and the country is preparing for war. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Rezlas's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the rezlas.
