A report broadcast over several major networks presented a speech by the often invisible and rarely public Emperor Meltdown.
"Citizens of nations around the world, the Anikian Empire has obtained nuclear capabilites. We have had nuclear power plants for some time; we have now obtained nuclear weapons. We do not intend to use them as an offensive weapons or to provoke others; we have them simply as a deterrent and a defensive weapon to create a mutually assured destruction effect with other nuclear powers. We keep them to protect ourselves, not to threaten others. I personally would like to apologize for not announcing our nuclear intentions but rather keeping these ambitions secret; I did so because of fear that other nations would take it the wrong way and start a brutal, bloody, and pointless war. However, now that we have these weapons, I see no need to keep unnecesary secrets from the foreign nations, and the citizens of the world. Now, if you will forgive me, I am a largely private man, and must retire. Thank you all. Bahavagi Nyum Nyum Fatow Ot!"
"The citizens replied by repeating the national motto, and cheering at a rare appearance of their leader. The High Archon, who goes by Wraith, having given up his real name for the nation like Emperor Meltdown, presented a breif speech afterwards directed towards the Anikian people rather than to the global community," the anchor completed. "And now on to the author of MAD - So Mad After All? for his take on this issue."
